NXT-ID (NasdaqCM: NXTD) Patents Behavior-Directed
Payments
OXFORD,
Conn. - July 13, 2015 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NXT-ID, Inc. (Nasdaq:NXTD; NXTDW) ("the
Company" or "NXT"), a biometric authentication company focused
on the growing mobile commerce market, announced today that it has filed
provisional patent 62/188684 for BEHAVIORAL-DIRECTED AUTHENTIATION METHOD AND
SYSTEM.
NXT-ID
achieves another new convenient and secure method to make payments. With this
patent, NXT-ID further expands new, innovative payment methods, introduced with
its groundbreaking voice-direct payment patent application, with
behavior-directed payments by introducing a new class of authentication called
"behavior-metrics".
"Like
voice-directed payments where you can simply say to pay, this invention enables
you to draw to pay," says David Tunnell, CTO of NXT-ID. "Users are
very familiar with typing a PIN or drawing a pattern to access a device. Soon,
they can also choose a payment account using the same methods they use to
authenticate with a device."
This
new technology recognizes both the individual (something you are) and the
action (something you know). Behavior-metrics may include, facial expressions,
gesture movements, patterns drawn, or even PINs - virtually any motion, sound,
or other behavior that can be detected by sensors and combine physiological
features unique to a person, such as biometrics, with some unique action, such
as behavior, that can be chosen by a user.
"Convenience
is just as important as security", adds Mr. Tunnell. "Another key
advantage of behavior-metrics is that they enable accessibility. Like directing
payment by simply asking for a word that is associated with an account, users
may simply perform a gesture or draw a pattern without having to view a
display, enabling a method to pay for those with disabilities such as impaired
vision."
Behavior-metrics
simplify selecting a payment by combining it with the same authentication used
to access a device. No more flipping through wallets or purses to find a
payment card, or even through apps to select a payment account. A payment,
loyalty, or any account can be selected quickly, immediately as the user
authenticates with a device. This invention will enable mobile and wearable
devices to improve both the security and convenience of performing mobile
payments and will be available on Wocket® in the future.
Wocket® is the smartest wallet you'll ever own. Designed to
protect your identity and replace your old wallet, simply swipe and save your
cards into Wocket once and they are immediately secured with pin and biometric
voice print technology. Without ever needing a smartphone, you can choose a

membership, insurance, medical information, passwords, and virtually any other
information can be protected on Wocket®.
