NXT-ID (NASDAQ:NXTD) Patents Electronic
Crypto-Currency Management Technology
Allows Consumers to make
Bitcoin Payments using Wocket
OXFORD,
CT - July 31, 2015 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD)
("NXT-ID" or the "Company"), a biometric authentication
company focused on the growing mobile commerce market and creator of the
Wocket® smart wallet, announces that it has filed provisional patent 62/198989
for ELECTRONIC CRYPTO-CURRENCY MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM
This
invention highlights a method to advance crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin into
the consumer market of payment technology by introducing a common, uniform way
to manage all payments.
The
technology manages multiple traditional financial accounts and crypto-currency
accounts, like Bitcoin, including initiating transfers, currency exchanges,
submitting payments, and receiving payments. Under this method, a local,
abbreviated block chain is intelligently synchronized for transactions and
balance validation to enable both online purchases as well as brick and mortar
retail store transactions from a local smart wallet device. This abbreviated
block chain allows for validated crypto-currency purchases to be made in store,
just like transactions from other traditional financial accounts such as credit
or debit cards. NXT-ID looks to usher Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies into
the mainstream payments industry and Wocket® is the beginning of that push for
consumer friendly crypto-wallets.
"What's
unique about this patent is that it introduces what we believe is the first
payment experience that makes crypto-currency uniform across all payment
transactions and payment methods, which is a chief inhibitor to wide scale
acceptance of crypto-currencies like Bitcoin, " adds Mr. Tunnell.
"With this technology, a common smart wallet platform can be used by an
individual to manage not only all of their conventional financial accounts
(e.g. debit cards, check cards, credit cards, etc.), loyalty cards, membership
cards and the like, but also provide for the secure management of a multiple
alternative currency accounts, thereby facilitating the real-time use of one or
more crypto-currencies as a method of payment, receiving crypto-currency
payments, and crypto-currency exchange. This technology also enables Bitcoin to
be used across multiple payment mediums including magnetic stripe, NFC, and
other emerging payment methods."
Gino
Pereira, Chief Executive Officer said, "We continue to build out our
patent and IP portfolio as the payment industry evolves. This technology is
another important step of how we intend to build the payment solution of the
future."
