Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to transaction settlement identifier generation systems and methods. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for generating transaction settlement identifiers using biometric features.
- a sender visits an "agent” (i.e., agent of a money transfer system operator, such as Western Union of Englewood, Colorado) location to specify payee details (name, destination country and test question, if applicable) and pay applicable fees and principal amount to be transferred.
- agent i.e., agent of a money transfer system operator, such as Western Union of Englewood, Colorado
- the agent receipts the transaction details into a money transmission system and receives a Money Transfer Control Number ("MTCN") that uniquely references the transaction.
- the agent provides the MTCN to the sender.
- the sender advises the recipient (Payee) through independent means (e.g. phone call or SMS) of the transfer's availability for collection and the MTCN.
- the payee visits an agent location, and supplies the MTCN, appropriate identification and correct response to the test question (if applicable).
- the agent pays out the principal amount on successful completion of verification checks.
- This model is vulnerable to a number of attacks.
- a paying agent may collude with a fraudster and pay out funds without complying with local verification procedures.
- An unrelated agent in the paying country may also retrieve the transaction details from the money transfer software using limited search criteria and enable an accomplice to proceed with collection at a separate location in the expected payout country.
- a number of fraudulently inclined individuals may present themselves simultaneously at different agent locations in the destination country of a transfer and all receive payout before the money transfer system is able to detect the problem.
- One embodiment of the invention provides for a method of transferring funds from a sender to a recipient.
- the method may include receiving a request to transfer funds from a sender; creating a transaction record having a transaction identifier; providing the transaction identifier to the sender; receiving the transaction identifier from a recipient; obtaining a first biometric sample from the recipient; using the biometric sample to select a MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) from a pool of predetermined MTCNs; associating the MTCN with the first biometric sample and the transaction record; providing the MTCN to the recipient; receiving a request from the recipient to receive the funds; obtaining the MTCN from the recipient; obtaining a second biometric sample from the recipient; using the MTCN and/or the second biometric sample to locate the transaction record; comparing the second biometric sample to the first biometric sample; and determining whether to provide the funds based on the comparison.

- a biometric feature of an individual is used to generate a transaction identifier for subsequent use by the individual to complete a transaction.
- the transaction may be a purchase transaction, a money transfer transaction, or the like.
- the close association of the transaction identifier to the individual helps to minimize fraud associated with the transaction.
- a consumer provides a biometric sample to an issuer upon requesting the transaction identifier.
- the biometric sample may be a sample of any of a variety of biometric features of the consumer.
- the consumer may provide a fingerprint, a voiceprint, DNA, retinal scan, or the like.
- embodiments of the present invention are described using a biometric feature of an individual to generate a transaction identifier, other physical identifiers may be used.
- a PC signature or the keystroke dynamics of the user may be used, hi such embodiments, the user may request a transaction identifier using a computer and use the PC signature or their keystroke dynamics to generate a transaction identifier.
- the PC signature or keystroke dynamics may be initiated locally by the user's computer or remotely through a network. Accordingly, while a biometric sample is used throughout the specification to describe embodiments of the invention, other physical identifiers uniquely identifying a user or user's system may be used to generate a transaction identifier.
- the transaction identifier may be a one-time-use transaction identifier, such as a one-time-use credit card number, or the like.
- the issuer uses the biometric sample, or a function thereof (e.g., a hash), to select the transaction identifier from a large pool of transaction identifiers appropriate for the particular use.
- the consumer thereafter uses the transaction identifier to complete the transaction, hi some cases, a second biometric sample is obtained from the consumer to authorize the transaction. In other cases, a second biometric sample is obtained only if the consumer attempts to repudiate the transaction.
- a sender obtains a first transaction number upon depositing funds with a money transfer agent.
- the sender then provides the first transaction number to the desired recipient.
- the recipient then provides a biometric sample and the first transaction number to a money transfer system operator to receive a second transaction number (e.g., a MTCN, Money Transfer Control Number).
- the money transfer agent on the sender side therefore, does not know the MTCN.
- the recipient requests the funds deposited by the sender from a money transfer agent, which may be the same as the money transfer agent on the send side, but is most likely a different money transfer agent.
- the recipient provides the MTCN and a biometric sample.
- the money transfer agent Only if the biometric sample matches the sample provided by the recipient to the money transfer system operator can the money transfer agent provide the funds. Hence, according to some embodiments, the transfer is protected from fraudulent collusion among money transfer agents since agents do not have access to transfer records using only an MTCN. Moreover, by providing a biometric sample at the time of receipt, a recipient is less able to claim not having received the funds. Further, embodiments of the present invention prevent multiple individuals from simultaneously requesting payment from different money transfer agents and receiving multiple payouts, since, presumably only one individual's biometric will result in transaction approval. Further still, collection of a biometric at the time of payment allows aggregation of transaction amounts for anti-money laundering compliance tracking.
- Fig. IA depicts a typical purchase transaction 100 in which a consumer uses a onetime-use credit card to complete a transaction with an online merchant.
- This purchase transaction 100 begins at block 102 at which point a consumer requests and receives a one-time-use credit card number from an issuer. In doing so, the consumer provides, for example, an account number and password to the issuer.
- the consumer uses the one-time-use credit card number to complete a purchase transaction with an online merchant.

- Fig. IB depicts a purchase transaction 130 in which a fraudster acquires account details from the consumer leaving the issuer unable to collect the transaction funds from the consumer.
- the transaction 130 begins at block 132, at which point the fraudster obtains the consumer's account password.
- the fraudster uses the password to obtain a one-time-use credit card number from the issuer (134) and complete a transaction with a merchant (136). Because the number appears to have been obtained by the consumer, the transaction is authorized (138) and completed (140).
- the merchant is able to obtain compensation from the issuer (142), but when the issuer attempts to obtain compensation from the consumer (144), the consumer is able to successfully repudiate the transaction (146).
- the issuer is penalized because of the consumer's failure to protect his password.
- the consumer may fraudulently repudiate the transaction, and the issuer has no ability to challenge him.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary system 200 according to embodiments of the invention.

- Fig. 3A depicts an exemplary method 300 according to embodiments of the invention.
- the method 300 may be implemented in the system 200 of Fig. 2 or other appropriate system.
- the method 300 begins at block 302 at which point a consumer requests a one-time-use credit card number from an issuer.
- the issuer obtains a biometric sample from the consumer at block 304 and uses the biometric sample to assign a one-time-use credit card to the consumer from a large pool of suitable one-time-use credit card numbers at block 306.
- the consumer provides the one-time-use credit card number to a merchant at block 308 in the process of completing a purchase transaction.
- the merchant obtains authorization for the transaction from the issuer at block 310, and the transaction is completed at block 312.
- the merchant thereafter obtains compensation from the issuer for the transaction at block 314, and the issuer obtains compensation from the consumer at block 316.
- the method 300 depicts the typical case in which the consumer does not attempt to repudiate the transaction.
- Fig. 3B depicts what happens if the consumer attempts to repudiate the transaction.
- FIG. 3B depicts an exemplary repudiation process 320.
- the consumer disputes the transaction.
- the issuer obtains a biometric sample from the consumer.
- the issuer also retrieves the biometric sample used to assign the one-time-use credit card to the consumer at block 326.
- the issuer is then able to compare the two samples, and the consumer's ability to repudiate the transaction depends on the comparison. This is indicated by block 328.
- a consumer is less able to repudiate a transaction, due to the tight coupling between the consumer, using the biometric, and the issuance of the one-time-use number.
- the consumer could also claim that the one-time-use number was pilfered after issuance, but other controls may be used to limit such possibility.
- a consumer may protect himself by requesting the number close in time to the planned usage.
- the issuer may protect itself by limiting the validity duration of the number to only a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days.
- the one-time-use nature of the number provides further protection for both the consumer and the issuer by preventing multiple uses of the number. Even further protection may be provided if the merchant takes a biometric sample from the consumer at the time of the purchase transaction. The merchant would then provide the sample to the issuer as part of the authorization process.

- the any of a variety of methods may be employed to generate one-time-use credit card numbers, MTCNs, and the like from a biometric sample, hi may embodiments, the one-time-use credit card number or MTCN is selected from a large pool of appropriately selected numbers using the biometric sample or a function of a biometric sample, but this is not required.
- the ensuing description provides exemplary methods for generating a master pool, selecting numbers from the pool, and authorizing transactions using numbers selected from the pool.
- Fig. 5 A illustrates an exemplary master pool 500 from which transaction settlement numbers may be selected.
- the transaction settlement numbers may be one-time-use credit card numbers, as in this example, or may be MTCNs, or the like in other embodiments.
- the master pool 500 includes a "record number” field, a "one-time CC#" field, and an "assignment table pointer" field.
- the record number field in this exemplary embodiments, is numbered consecutively throughout the records in the pool, and the pool includes a sufficient number of records to satisfy expected demand for the transaction settlement numbers.
- the one-time CC# field includes a unique transaction settlement number in each record, and the field of each record is populated randomly as will be described with reference to Fig.
- the assignment table pointer field of each record maintains a pointer to a record in an assignment table.
- the assignment table will be described below with reference to Fig. 8.
- the assignment table pointer field is populated as will be described below with reference to Fig. 9.
- Fig. 5B depicts an exemplary method 530 for populating a master pool.
- an array of conforming numbers is generated.
- the numbers conform to appropriate specification for which the transaction settlement numbers will be used.
- the transaction settlement numbers are one-time-use credit card numbers, and the numbers which are sixteen digits long and include no letters.
- the numbers are in appropriate ranges (e.g., BIN ranges) to thereby prevent duplication with typical credit cards.
- the transaction settlement numbers may be MTCNs, which would be appropriately formatted according to the desired specifications for MTCNs. Many such examples are possible.
- a first transaction settlement number is randomly selected from the from the array.
- Fig. 6 A depicts another method 600 for generating an array of one-time-use credit card numbers, hi this embodiment, an array of one-time-use credit card numbers is generated. This array is used to assign one-time-use credit card numbers to a user and/or a master pool.
- a one-time-use credit card number is created, which, according to specific embodiments, conforms to appropriate formats and/or standards for which the number will be used (e.g., credit care number, MTCN, etc.).
- the one-time-use credit card number is adjusted to comply with format and content specifications developed by the industry at block 615.
- the one-time-use credit card number is then stored in a one-time-use credit card number array at block 620 whereupon the system returns to block 610.
- Other means for storing the one-time-use credit card number may be used, such as a linked list, a generic file, a text file, etc.
- Fig. 6B depicts a method 650 of generating a master pool of one-time-use credit card numbers according to one embodiment of the invention.

- the system may also select the one-time-use credit card number from any other storage location.
- the system determines if it is currently in use or not. If it is currently in use, then the system returns to block 630 and another one-time-use credit card number is selected.
- the one-time-use credit card number may also be deleted from the one-time-use credit card number array. If the onetime-use credit card number is not in use, the one-time-use credit card number is inserted into the master pool 650 at block 640 at the location associated with the record number. The record number is incremented at block 645 and the system selects another number from the one-time-use credit card number array at block 630 whereupon the system is repeated.
- Fig. 7 depicts a method 700 of generating an individual master pool of one-time-use credit card numbers for each credit card according to one embodiment of the present invention. While this embodiment generates and stores one-time-use credit card numbers in a pool, the method maybe used for any type of transaction settlement number. According to this embodiment, each credit card number has an associated pool of one-time-use credit card numbers 730. Each one-time-use credit card number pool 730 may be a fixed size or the size may be adjusted dynamically according to the number of one-time-use credit card numbers used or required by the user.
- a credit card number is selected at block 710 for populating the one-time-use credit card number pool 730 associated with the credit card number.
- a one-time-use credit card number is randomly generated at block 715. Generation of the one-time-use credit card number may also include steps to ensure the one-time-use credit card number complies with industry specifications.
- the method determines if the one-time-use credit card number generated at block 715 is unique, if it is not unique, the method returns to block 715. The system may determine if the one-time-use credit card number is unique by refereeing to a list or array of issued credit card numbers, unissued credit card numbers or the like.
- the method moves to block 725.
- the one-time-use credit card number pool record number is incremented.
- the system determines if the one-time-use credit card number pool is full. If the pool is full, the system returns to block 710, where another credit card number is selected. In alternative embodiments, the size of the one-time-use credit card number pool 730 may be increased and the system moves along to block 740. In other embodiments, more than one-time-use credit card number pool may be associated with the credit card number.
- the randomly produced one-time-use credit card number is entered into the one-time-use credit card number pool and the system returns to block 715.
- Fig. 8 depicts an assignment table 800 according to embodiments of the present invention.
- the assignment table 800 maps starting numbers to transaction settlement numbers in the master pool 500.
- the starting numbers maybe, for example, a consumer's credit card account number, as in this example, a transaction identifier provided to a sender in a money transfer transaction, or the like.
- the assignment table 800 includes a "key” filed, a "record number” field, a "real CC#” field, a "usage conditions” field, a "previous pointer” field, and a “next pointer” field.
- the key field provides an index to the assignment table. According to embodiments of the invention, the key field is based on a biometric sample as will be described in greater detail with respect to Fig. 9.
- the record number field identifies a record in the master pool.
- the "real CC#" field stores the starting number from which the transaction settlement number is generated. In other exemplary embodiments, the real CC# field may be, for example, the transaction identifier provided to the sender in a money transfer transaction.
- the usage conditions field may include any of a variety of usage conditions associated with the transaction settlement number. For example, the usage conditions field may identify a limited number of merchants at which the transaction settlement number may be used. It may include an expiration time and/or date for the number, and/or the like.
- the previous and next pointers identify previous and next assignment table records in a daisy chain of records assigned to a common consumer, customer, recipient, or the like, as will be described in greater detail with respect to Fig. 9.
- the assignment table 800 unlike the master pool 500, is not fully populated initially. Additional records are added as transaction settlement numbers are requested and assigned by the issuer. A "last record assigned" pointer is used in the process of assigning transaction settlement numbers as will be described with respect to Fig. 9.
- Fig. 9 depicts a method 900 of assigning transaction settlement numbers from the master pool according to embodiments of the present invention.
- a request for a transaction settlement number is received from a customer, hi this embodiments, the request is for a one-time-use credit card number and the request is received by an issuer.
- the request may be for a MTCN and be received by a money transfer system operator.
- the request includes a biometric sample (e.g., a voiceprint) from the customer.
- the request also identifies the customer's credit card account. For example, the customer may have used a USER ID and password to access an account electronically, and the account includes a feature that allows the customer to request a one-time-use credit card number.
- the issuer creates a hash of the biometric sample, thereby producing #V.
- the hashing algorithm produces a #V that is repeatable for different biometric samples of the same individual.
- a function other than hashing may be used to produce #V. hi other embodiments, the function may not produce a #V that is repeatable for different biometric samples of the same individual.
- #V is used to search the assignment table.
- #V is populated into the key field of a new assignment table record.
- the "last record assigned" pointer is incremented to point to the next, unassigned, record in the master pool.
- the record # of the indicated record of the master pool is populated into the record # field of the new record of the assignment table.
- the customer's real credit card account number is populated into the real CC# field of the new assignment record, the key of the new assignment record is populated into the assignment pointer field of the current master pool record, and any usage conditions are populated into the usage conditions field of the assignment record.
- the next and previous pointers of the new assignment record are populated appropriately as will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
- the transaction settlement number is returned to the customer.
- the customer may thereafter use the transaction settlement number in an appropriate transaction.
- blocks 912 and 914 are traversed repeatedly until the last assignment table record in the chain is located. Locating the last record in the chain, however, requires knowing how subsequent keys are assigned.
- each time a customer requests a transaction settlement number (e.g., a one-time-use credit card number), a new key is created.
- the first key is #V.
- the second key is #V XOR the first transaction settlement number assigned to the customer.
- Third key is the second key XOR the second transaction settlement number assigned to the customer, and so on.
- each new key incorporates together the customer's biometric and each previously assigned transaction settlement number.
- next and previous pointer fields may be, at block 914, populated to assist with searches of the assignment table. This will be particularly useful during authorization and dispute resolution processes as will be described in greater detail hereinafter with reference to Figs. 10 and 11.
- Fig. 10 shows a method 1000 for confirming the identity of a user by comparing a received biometric sample and the stored sample to detect for fraudulent transactions according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the method 1000 shown may be used for any type of transaction settlement identifier, such as, for example, one-time-use credit card numbers and/or MTCN' s.
- transaction settlement identifier such as, for example, one-time-use credit card numbers and/or MTCN' s.
- a user contacts issuer to dispute a transaction they consider to be fraudulent.
- the user's identity may need confirmation because the user may deny requesting and having been issued a one-time-use credit card number and, therefore, deny making a transaction with the one-time-use credit card number.
- the user may also wish to confirm their identity in order to receive a payout.
- the issuer receives the transaction settlement number from the user as well as a biometric sample at block 1020. After receiving the biometric feature, the issuer creates a hash (#H) of the biometric sample at block 1025 using a hashing algorithm as discussed above. The issuer may then retrieve the record associated with the transaction settlement number at block 1030, for example, from the assignment table.
- #H hash of the biometric sample at block 1025 using a hashing algorithm as discussed above.
- the issuer may then retrieve the record associated with the transaction settlement number at block 1030, for example, from the assignment table.
- the record retrieved at block 1030 may contain the transaction settlement number, and a unique key.
- the record may also contain previous and next pointers.
- the previous and next pointers link the records for a particular user in a chain like fashion.
- the key associated with each transaction settlement number may be a mathematical combination of the previous key and the previous transaction settlement number.
- the first key associated with a user is the hash of the biometric sample.
- the method determines whether this record associated with the transaction settlement number is the first record in the chain. If the previous pointer is NULL, then the record is the first record in the chin, f it is not the first record the method retrieves the previous record at block 1040. If the previous pointer equals NULL then the record is the first record.
- the method traverses the chain of records to find the first record. Once the first record is found the stored hash of the biometric sample (#V) is the key associated with the first record.
- the method determines whether the received biometric sample hash (#H) equals the stored hash of the stored biometric sample (#V). If the two hashed samples match, the identity of the user is confirmed at block 1050. If the two hashed samples do not match, the identity of the user is not confirmed.
- the method 1000 may be applicable in a system generating one-time- use credit card numbers, where a one-time-use credit card number is the transaction settlement number, hi such systems, a user receives a one-time-use credit card number upon receipt of a biometric sample. If a user claims that they did not request a one-time-use credit card number, the biometric sample received from the user and stored when the one-time-use credit card number was issued may be used to either confirm or deny the users claim. For example, the user contacts the issuer at block 1010, the credit card number is received 1015, and a biometric sample is received 1020.
- the stored biometric sample used when the onetime-use credit card number was issued is retrieved in blocks 1030, 1035 and 1040 and the chain of records may be traversed.
- the biometric samples are compared. If the hash of the biometric sample received when the one-time-use credit card number was issued matches the hash of the biometric sample received at block 1020, then the user's claim is denied, because the one-time-use credit card number was issued to the user and not a fraudster. Otherwise, if there is no match, the user may have a genuine fraud claim, whereupon the issuers may initiate procedures to address the fraudulent activity.
- Fig. 11 shows a method 1100 for confirming the identity of a user in a money transfer transaction according to one embodiment of the invention.
- a payout may only be received by first confirming the identity of the payee.
- Blocks 1110, 1115, 1120, 1125, 1130, 1135, 1140 and 1145 are similar to blocks 1010, 1015, 1020, 1025, 1030, 1035, 1040 and 1045 of Fig. 10, except in this method 1100 the transaction settlement identifier is a MTCN.
- the transaction settlement identifier is a MTCN.
- the method determines whether the aggregate payout to the user is greater than some predetermined threshold at block 1160.
- Legally money transfers greater than a certain amount, must meet certain compliance requirements to deter money laundering.
- the aggregate payout may be determined by moving through the daisy chain of records and summing the payout of all transaction. If the aggregate payout is greater than the threshold then compliance requirements must be satisfied at block 1165 before payout occurs at block 1151. Those skilled in the art will recognize how to implement various compliance procedures. If the aggregate payout is not greater than the threshold then payout at block 1151 may occur.
- Figs. 12 and 13 depict exemplary embodiments of recipient-staged money transfer transaction
- a recipient "stages" a transaction by providing a biometric sample and receiving a transaction control number.
- the recipient also may provide other transaction details, but this is not necessary.
- the recipient provides the transaction control number to a sender, who then deposits funds using the transaction control number. The funds can then be released only upon the recipient providing a confirming biometric sample.
- the embodiments 1200 and 1300 provide two different ways in which this can be accomplished.
- a recipient stages a transaction at block 1210. This includes providing a biometric sample.
- the recipient may stage the transaction using a phone and providing a voice sample, visiting a money transfer location and providing another type of biometric sample, or using any of a variety of other ways apparent to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure.
- the sample or a derivative thereof is stored in a transaction record, and the recipient is provided with a transaction control number at block 1212, which the recipient provides to a sender at block 1214.
- the sender deposits funds and provides any additional details necessary to create the transaction.
- the transaction record established by the recipient is accessed using the transaction control number provided to the sender by the recipient. At this point, the ability to receive the funds is closely tied to the recipient via the biometric sample.
- the blocks 1210, 1212, 1214, and 1216 are substantially similar to the corresponding blocks 1310, 1312, 1314, and 1316 of the embodiment 1300 of Fig. 13.
- the recipient can now receive the funds in any of several ways.
- the recipient requests funds at a money transfer location and provides a biometric sample at block 1218.
- a determination is made at block 1220 whether the sample matches the sample provide at the time the transaction was staged. If is does not, then payout is denied at block 1222. If the sample matches, the payout is made at block 1224.
- a recipient is able to receive the funds electronically or at a money transfer location this is not equipped to take a biometric sample.
- the recipient requests a MTCN by providing a biometric sample.
- the recipient can request the biometric sample by, for example, phoning the money transfer system operator.
- a decision is made whether the sample matches the sample obtained at the time the transaction was staged. If is does not, the MTCN is not provided to the recipient, as indicated by block 1322. If, however, the samples match, the a MTCN is provided to the recipient at block 1324.
- the recipient may use the MTCN to access the funds in any of a variety of ways, including by visiting a money transfer location, accessing an account electronically, and the like, as is apparent to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure.
- the recipient may use the MTCN to access the funds in any of a variety of ways, including by visiting a money transfer location, accessing an account electronically, and the like, as is apparent to those skilled in the art in light of this disclosure.
- various modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, a number of well known processes and elements have not been described in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention. For example, those skilled in the art know how MTCNs are used in money transfer transactions and how one-time-use credit card purchase transactions are settled. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concepts discussed herein may be directed toward other types of transactions. Accordingly, the above description should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention, which is defined in
