Patent

CA 2410288

A system and method for executing payment for a transaction of goods or services between a merchant and a consumer (2) over a network by using a prepaid consumer account, such as a telephone calling card account, to pay for the transaction. The consumer (2) provides an account identifier to the merchant, which then sends a first transaction request message to a digital petty cash server (DPCS) (5). The DPCS (5) determines which one of several available account servers holds the consumer account identified by the consumer (2), and then sends a second transaction authorization request message to that account server. The account server determines if the consumer account is sufficient to cover the transaction amount; and then either deducts the transaction amount from the consumer account and completes the transaction, or it denies the transaction if the consumer account is insufficient to cover the DPCS (5) transaction amount.

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé d'exécution de payements relatifs à une transaction d'articles ou de services par réseau entre un vendeur et un consommateur (2) au moyen du compte à prépayement du consommateur, notamment un compte de carte d'appel téléphonique. Le consommateur (2) fournit un identificateur de compte au vendeur, lequel envoie alors un premier message de demande de transaction à un serveur de petite caisse numérique (DPCS) (5). Ce serveur DPCS (5) détermine parmi plusieurs serveurs de comptes disponibles lequel de ces serveurs tient le compte du consommateur identifié par le consommateur (2), puis envoie un second message de demande d'autorisation de transaction à ce serveur de compte. Le serveur de compte détermine si le compte du consommateur est suffisant pour couvrir le montant de la transaction, puis, soit il déduit le montant de la transaction du compte du consommateur et complète la transaction, soit refuse la transaction si le compte du consommateur est insuffisant pour couvrir le montant de la transaction du serveur DPCS (5).
