Abstract

There are provided systems and methods for display of locally broadcasted uniform resource locators for checkout and payment. A user may utilize a computing device, such as a mobile phone, to receive a plurality of local broadcasts. The broadcasts may be limited in range to a defined region through short range communications or geo-locations of users or entities. Thus, the computing device may display the broadcasts for nearby users and entities. The broadcast may contain a URL that unique identifiers the user or entity and the checkout and payment process for the payment requested by the user or entity. The URL may cause a device receiving the URL to load a webpage or application interface having the checkout and payment process. The user may then use the process in the broadcast to provide a payment to another user or entity.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A system, comprising:
 one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, with program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable memories, the one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to perform the operations comprising:
 detecting a plurality of signals, wherein each of the plurality of signals corresponds to one or more application data for a payment process; 
 displaying a plurality of selectable elements on a user interface, wherein each of the plurality of selectable elements corresponds to a signal from the plurality of signals; 
 detecting a selection by a user of a first selectable element of the plurality of selectable elements; 
 determining that a first application data corresponds to the first selectable element; and 
 loading the first application data, wherein the loading the first application data includes loading a payment interface that corresponds to the first application data. 
   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , the operations further comprising:
 processing a payment using the payment interface.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the displaying a plurality of selectable elements on a user interface includes displaying a distance to a physical location of a transaction device corresponding to a respective application data of the one or more application data. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the transaction device is a merchant device or a user device. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the transaction device is a vending machine or an automated ticketing machine. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of signals corresponds to devices that are within a threshold distance of the user. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein a first transaction device that transmits a first signal of the plurality of signal corresponds to the user and a second transaction device that transmits a second signal of the plurality of signals corresponds to a physical location of the user. 
     
     
         9 . A method comprising:
 detecting, by a user device, a plurality of signals, wherein each of the plurality of signals corresponds to one or more application data for a payment process;   displaying, by the user device, a plurality of selectable elements on a user interface, wherein each of the plurality of selectable elements corresponds to a signal from the plurality of signals;   detecting, by the user device, a selection by a user of a first selectable element of the plurality of selectable elements;   determining, by the user device, that a first application data corresponds to the first selectable element;   loading, by the user device, the first application data, wherein the loading the first application data includes loading a payment interface that corresponds to the first application data; and   causing, by the user device, a payment to be processed using the payment interface.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the displaying a plurality of selectable elements on a user interface includes displaying a distance to a physical location of a transaction device corresponding to a respective application data of the one or more application data. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the transaction device is a merchant device or a user device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the transaction device is an automated ticketing machine. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of signals corresponds to devices that are within a threshold distance of the user device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein a first transaction device that transmits a first signal of the plurality of signal corresponds to the user and a second transaction device that transmits a second signal of the plurality of signals corresponds to a physical location of the user. 
     
     
         15 . A computer program product comprising:
 one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the program instructions when executed cause a machine to perform operations comprising:   detecting a plurality of signals, wherein each of the plurality of signals corresponds to one or more application data for a payment process;   displaying a plurality of selectable elements on a user interface, wherein each of the plurality of selectable elements corresponds to a signal from the plurality of signals;   detecting a selection by a user of a first selectable element of the plurality of selectable elements;   determining that a first application data corresponds to the first selectable element; and   loading the first application data, wherein the loading the first application data includes loading a payment interface that corresponds to the first application data; and   causing a payment to be processed using the payment interface.   
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein information corresponding to the first application data is contained in a signal associated with the first selectable element. 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the displaying a plurality of selectable elements on a user interface includes displaying a distance to a physical location of a transaction device corresponding to a respective application data of the one or more application data. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 17 , wherein the transaction device is a merchant device or a user device. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the first application data corresponds to input by a user of a transaction device that transmitted a signal associated with the first selectable element. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 19 , wherein the first application data includes a payment amount and information corresponding to a generation of the payment interface. 
     
     
         21 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein a first transaction device that transmits a first signal of the plurality of signal corresponds to the user and a second transaction device that transmits a second signal of the plurality of signals corresponds to a physical location of the user.
