Application: Buyer initiated automatic seller account creation for item (Patent ID: US20240078581A1)
The patent filed by eBay Inc. describes technologies for automatic account generation for transactions between two user devices. The method involves receiving machine-readable code associated with an item token at a first user device, authenticating the first user, receiving an authentication token, and sending an account creation request to an intermediary transaction service. This request prompts the service to generate a first account for the first user and facilitate a transaction between the first and second user accounts. The process also includes receiving a transaction confirmation from the intermediary service.
The claims associated with the patent detail the specific steps involved in the computer-implemented method, such as receiving a QR code as the machine-readable code, authenticating the first user using biometric data, and obtaining user information from an authentication service. The claims also cover scenarios where an account confirmation request is received, and an account confirmation response is sent based on user input. Additionally, the patent extends to computer storage media storing instructions for performing the method and a computer system that executes the operations described in the patent. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for automatic account generation and transaction facilitation between users using machine-readable codes and authentication tokens.
