Abstract:
A mobile device is provided that includes biometric sensor(s), and a processor that causes the biometric sensor(s) to acquire a physiological marker of a user, and identify and authenticate the user. The processor sends a message to an authentication server that indicates the user is authenticated, and receives a response from the authentication server that includes a unique authentication code. The processor receives selection of a thereby selected over-the-counter (OTC) drug, and communicates with a point-of-sale (POS) system with contactless payment capability. The processor sends a purchase message to the POS system that includes the unique authentication code, an identifier of the selected OTC drug, and payment information. And the POS system communicates with the authentication server to validate the unique authentication code, and with an authorization server to authorize payment for the selected OTC drug based on the payment information.

Claim (Index 5):
An apparatus configured to implement a self-service kiosk or integrated shelf dispenser, the apparatus comprising:\n one or more biometric sensors configured to acquire a physiological marker from which a user is identifiable and thereby authenticated; and a processor coupled to the one or more biometric sensors, and programmed to at least:\n cause the one or more biometric sensors to acquire the physiological marker, and identify and authenticate the user based thereon; \n send a message to an authentication server that indicates the user is authenticated, and receive a response from the authentication server that includes a unique authentication code; \n receive selection of a thereby selected over-the-counter (OTC) drug; \n complete a purchase of the selected OTC drug, including the processor being programmed to send a purchase message to the authentication server that includes the unique authentication code, an identifier of the selected OTC drug, and payment information, the processor being programmed to send the purchase message for the authentication server to validate the unique authentication code, and for the authentication server to cooperate with an authorization server to authorize payment for the selected OTC drug based on the payment information; and \n receive an encrypted code to authorize release of the selected OTC drug; and \n a dispenser coupled to the processor and caused thereby to dispense the selected OTC drug after the purchase is completed.
