FIELD
This application relates generally to data processing, and more specifically, to systems and methods for facilitating mobile device payments, multimedia capture, calling, and messaging via mobile and wearable devices.
BACKGROUND
Personal digital communication devices, such mobile and wearable devices, e.g., smartphones, are evolving rapidly and more and more people prefer using the mobile and wearable devices for a numerous purposes. When customers buy product items from various merchants in these merchants' retails environments, such as retail outlets, shopping centers, stores, etc., only a handful of payment methods is available to the customers. Typical examples include credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, checks, cash, and so forth. Each one of these payment methods has some drawbacks from cost and/or convenience perspectives. For example, credit cards bear substantial processing fees, while debit cards require availability of funds and sometimes involve surcharges as well. Checks and cash transactions are slow and require additional processing and/or handling. All these drawbacks interfere with retail transactions and add some level of dissatisfaction. To avoid these drawbacks, customers may perform payments using the mobile and wearable devices. The operations performed via mobile and wearable devices may include electronic commerce transactions, retail purchasing, micropayments, and other daily payments. Mobile payments may utilize credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, virtual currencies, and so forth. While mobile payments facilitate and stimulate the trade, the procedure of providing financial details and authenticating of identity may be tedious and time-consuming. Therefore, the convenience of mobile payments for daily micropayments is hindered.
One of the other purposes of the mobile and wearable devices is to capture details of everyday life, such as to record a photo, video, audio, and the like multimedia content. Typically, before capturing the multimedia content, a user has to select a particular type of the multimedia content to be captured. Such selection may take additional time, and a particular moment that the user intended to capture may be missed. Furthermore, switching between different modes of the personal digital communication devices any time when the user wants to capture another type of multimedia content may be annoying for the user.
Additionally, the mobile and wearable device may be used for many other purposes. However, a selection of a specific operation to be performed by the mobile and wearable device is conventionally made by opening, by the user, a menu interface of the mobile and wearable device and searching for an application responsible for performing the specific operation. Such selection may be time-consuming and may make the user to look through a list or a table of all available applications, most of which may be not currently needed for the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the presented concepts. The presented concepts may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process operations have not been described in detail so as to not unnecessarily obscure the described concepts. While some concepts will be described in conjunction with the specific embodiments, it will be understood that these embodiments are not intended to be limiting.
Various computer implemented methods and systems for facilitating mobile device payments, multimedia capture, calling, and messaging are described herein. The described system enables a user to select an operation from a list of predetermined operations by varying time of interaction of the user with a display of the mobile and wearable device, such as a smart phone, a smart watch, augmented reality glasses, and the like. More specifically, the user may touch the display for a certain time. Based on the duration of the touching, the operation may be automatically selected from the list of predetermined operations and the selected operation may be initiated. The list of predetermined operations may include a payment operation, a multimedia capture operation, a calling operation, a messaging operation, and any other operation to be performed by the mobile and wearable device.
When the duration of the touch is determined to correspond to the payment operation, the payment operation may be initiated. Upon the initial initiation of the payment operation, the user may be prompted to provide payment details of a payment card of the user. To provide the payment details, the user may capture payment details of the payment card by a camera of the mobile and wearable device, read the payment details from the payment card using a wireless communication, such as an NFC, input the payment details of the payment card manually, download the payment details of the payment card from a cloud storage, and so forth.
When the payment operation is initiated, the user may be prompted to bring the mobile and wearable device into proximity to a payment a merchant device associated with a merchant. The mobile and wearable device and the merchant device may communicate via the NFC. When the NFC is established, the user may be prompt to provide an authentication information, for example, by placing a finger on the display of the mobile and wearable device so that a fingerprint of the user can be scanned. If the scanned fingerprint matches predetermined fingerprints, a one-time code may be generated based on the payment details to encrypt the payment details. The one-time code may be transmitted to the financial organization to perform the payment.
When the duration of the touch is determined to correspond to the multimedia capture operation, the multimedia capture operation may be initiated. Upon initiation of the multimedia capture operation, multimedia may be captured. The duration of the touch may be further analyzed to determine a specific type of the multimedia to be recorded. For example, the duration of 4 to 6 seconds may correspond to the multimedia capture operation, where the duration of 4 seconds may correspond to an image capture operation, the duration of 4.5 seconds may correspond to a video capture operation, the duration of 5 seconds may correspond to an audio capture operation, and the like. Based on the analysis, the specific type of the multimedia may be recorded to a database.
In an example embodiment, upon the initiation of the multimedia capture operation, the video may be captured. The types of the multimedia may be recorded based on processing of the captured video, such as storing a frame of the video as an image, isolating an audio from the captured video, making an animation by storing several frames as images and cycling the images to be shown one after another, reading a text from frames of the video, e.g., by using an optical character recognition, and so forth. Upon storing of the selected multimedia types to the mobile and wearable device or the cloud storage, the video may be deleted from the mobile and wearable device.
In another example embodiment, upon the initiation of the multimedia capture operation, all predetermined types of the multimedia, such as a text, a photo, a sound, a video, an animation, and the like, may be simultaneously captured. One or more captured multimedia types may be stored based on the analysis of the duration of the touch, and non-selected types of multimedia may be deleted from the mobile and wearable device.
When the duration of the touch is determined to correspond to the calling operation, a calling interface may be displayed to the user. Upon selection of a call recipient by the user from a list of call recipients, the call with the selected call recipient may be initiated.
When the duration of the touch is determined to correspond to the messaging operation, a messaging interface may be displayed to the user. Upon selection of a message recipient and typing of a message by the user, the message may be sent to the selected message recipient.
