- the portable wireless-device 12 is used by the customer to make a payment transaction for an online subscription from a web merchant and receive a password to access the service.
- This embodiment is directed to an online subscription service system that facilitates receiving a subscription service without providing customer personal sensitive data to merchant employees and merchant computer systems.
- the payment system 02 includes a central system 10, a web-enabled portable wireless device 12, and a card processor 36.
- a subscription merchant website 626 is accessible to the customer 06, identifying and describing the different subscription choices in terms of content 616 and different pricing 618, 620, 622, and a service code 610.
- the service code 610 is composed of a merchant number 612 and service number 614. Alternatively, the service code may be only one number or code that uniquely identifies both the merchant and the service in a relational database.
- the customer 06 using device 12 After having reviewed the website 626, and made a decision to purchase subscription service, the customer 06 using device 12 connects to a secure web connection with the system 10 and is presented a data card 620. From this data card 620, the customer 06 selects from Account 632, Start 634, Cancel 636 and retrieve 638 and is presented data cards 612, 614, 616 and 618 respectively.
- Start card 614 customer can start a subscriptions service by specifying desired password 630, by using Account card 612, can open an account, by using Cancel card 616 can cancel a service and by using Retrieve card 618, can check the status of the service including the activated password 631 for accessing the service.
- the desired password 630 is what a customer desires the password to be, the activated password 631 is what the merchant has enabled the particular service for access.
- the desired password 630 may be Jeff and the activated password may be Jeff999.
- the central system 10 with the pre-stored data of the merchant and customer and using the card processor 36 processes the payment. After the approval of the payment transaction is received from the card processor 36, the central system 10 sends to the merchant system 08 a data record 624 showing the payment has been successfully processed and the customer desired password 630 to access the service number 614, and awaits a response record 622 for the service activation and confirmation of the activated password 631. After the central system 10 receives the response record 622, it updates the billing table 842D ( Figure 3C) with the activated password 631 and status 636 as Active. The customer 06 by using Retrieve card 618 retrieves the service status 636 and activated password 631 , permitting him/her to access the service. Thus a customer can receive an online subscription service and cancel the service without disclosing any time any personal data to the merchant such as name, e-mail address and bankcard data.
- Step 500 Merchant 08 opens an account with Central system 10 with a Merchant number 642 and providing merchant ID, merchant name, URL, and e-mail.

- Customer 06 is at web page 626 with intention to purchase service and sees a service code 636.
- Customer 06 takes out its wireless device 12. Connects to central system 10 and is presented a data card 620.
- Step 510 Customer selects Start 634 from data card 620 and is presented with start card 614. Enters personal number 650, service code 610, desired password 630 and click OK to send to central system 10.
- Central System 10 receives card 614, uses personal number 650 to verify and retrieve customer account data 258.
- Step 514 Central System 10 uses service code 610 to extract merchant number 600, and retrieve merchant ID 604.
- Step 516 Central System 10 uses service code 610 to extract service number 614, retrieve payment amount 618 from service table 840C, assemble payment record and sends to Card Processor 36.
- Step 518 Central System 10 receives authorization record from card processor 36. Assembles record 624 including desired password 630 and forwards to merchant system 08.
- Step 520 Merchant 08 receives record 624 from the central system 10 and activates the service and confirms/changes to activated password 631 and sends record 622 to the central system 10.
- Central System 10 receives record 622, updates the billing table 842D with activated password 631 and the service status 636 as Active.
- Customer 06 from data card 620 selects Retrieve 638 and is presented Retrieve card 618. Enters personal number 650 and Clicks OK and receives service code 610, activated password 631 and Status 636.
- Customer 06 decides to cancel by using device 12 connecting to system 10 and being presented data record 620.
- Step 528 Customer selects cancel 636, sees cancel card 616, enters personal number 650, service code 610 and OK to send to system 10.
- Step 530 the system 10 verifies the customer and the service and updates billing table 842D with cancel date 634 equal to system date.
- the billing function specific to this embodiment is described with reference to Figure 4A.
- the transaction table 842 and the billing table 842D fields are populated.
- the periodic billing function performs billing and maintains service status.
- the billing function is executed every 24 hours.
- Status Cancel.
- the cancel date 634 is changed to system date by the customer interface program 810, when customer cancels service via the Cancel card 636.
- IF (Status Expire Or Null Or Cancel Or Decline) Return.
- the status is initialized to null and changes state when service is cancelled, expires or the card payment is declined.
- Initiate Payment Function 808 for amount Periodic fee 620.
- Payment Function 808 assembles payment record and submits to the card processor 36.
- card processor 36 authorizes approval. If approved, Status is not changed, if declined then, Status is changed to Decline.
- the online subscription system 02 allows an online subscription service merchant 08 to receive payments from a subscription customer 06 and allows customer 06 to receive subscription service with activated password 631 , without the customers using and disclosing their personal data to employees of the merchant and merchant computer system.
- a person or business can make a private and secure payment to another private party of an individual or a business.
