Patent GB-2598952-A (GB)
Title: System and method for prevention of unintended checkout
Inventor: CRISTIAN RADU
IPC: G06Q20/42
Filed: 2020-09-22
Abstract: Consumers will sometimes accidently initiate a transaction, such as the purchase of digital goods (e-books, movies, games) without intending to. The invention operates prior to a transaction being approved, rather than after the event, enabling an efficient method of preventing unintended checkout proceeding to actual purchase. An unintended checkout prevention service analyses a transaction request in real-time or near real-time and predicts how likely it is that the transaction is unintentional based upon transaction details, such as product details and an anonymised consumer persona. In cases where it is predicted that it is likely that the transaction is unintentional, the consumer is required to confirm that they wish for the transaction to proceed by means of consumer consent request issued by the payment acceptor to the consumer’s device. The consumer can authorise the consent request possibly by means of a one-time password provided via a trusted channel or a fingerprint scan. The user’s confirmation including the authorisation is sent to the payment acceptor and the transaction can be approved or declined. The consent response may be stored and is available should the consumer later attempt to dispute the transaction. The invention reduces the likelihood of unintentional transactions being processed.
