Breaking Tech News: NXT-ID (Nasdaq:NXTD; NXTDW) Patents Voice
Directed Payments
OXFORD,
CT - February 23, 2015 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), a biometric
authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announced
today that it has filed provisional patent 62114357 for
DISTRIBUTED
VOICE DIRECTED PAYMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM.
With
this patent, NXT-ID introduces a new groundbreaking payment method. Payment
accounts may be selected via voice recognition and the payment account may only
be accessed if both the speech (the word associated with the payment account)
and the speaker (a biometric) are both recognized. Once recognized, payment is
directed to an appropriate interface, such as Magnetic Stripe Emulation (MSE),
Near Field Communication (NFC), or other interface to perform the payment with
the selected account. The patent also introduces the concept of "voice
cards", which are alias names given by a user to describe specific private
information such as credit and debit cards, further enhancing security as well
as convenience.
"We
are very excited to offer this new convenient and secure method to make
payments", says David Tunnell, Chief Technology Officer of NXT-ID.
"We've all been there – Waiting in line as we fumble through our wallets
to fine the right card or information. With this invention, we not only secure
your data by recognizing you are who you say you are from your voice, but we
also provide an extremely convenient way for you to select how you wish to
pay."
Like
most of NXT-ID's patents, this technology works with current Point-of-Sale
(POS) technologies such as NFC and Magnetic Stripe, but also can enhance the
existing POS with added security as well as provide a path for more convenient
and more secure future payment technologies.
"Convenience
to access your private data is just as important as securing your private
data", adds David. "With this invention, you may simply ask for a
specific payment account and the account is programmed to an appropriate
emulator that emulates the account selected. To make it even more convenient,
the voice may be recognized and emulated on the same device, such as a cell
phone or our Wocket smart wallet, or recognized on one device and directed to
another device such as a watch or a reprogrammable smart card like our
WocketCard to then make the payment. In addition, the ability to name your
account further protects your information since no one knows which card you are
choosing. For instance, no private information is revealed if you say
"grocery card" or "gas card number 3". You know the account
you are choosing, but no one else does."
