- the account for a mobile-unit user is funded through cash prepayment, credit card or debit card funding, or transfer from some other financial account.
- Each account will be provided an authorization PIN code corresponding to the account.
- the mobile unit user may authorize the payment system of the present system to replenish automatically the account through a particular financial account or credit card upon the account reaching a certain minimum balance.
- the mobile phone user can replenish the account remotely by authorizing the system to access a previously identified financial account.
- the payment apparatus and method of the present invention commences operation when payment is required at the point-of-sale or other appropriate location of the merchant. Upon choosing the mobile telephone payment option, two distinct transaction types are available: The consumer-initiated transaction and the merchant-initiated transaction.
- the mobile terminal user initiates the payment transaction by accessing the central processing unit, which verifies whether the mobile-unit user is an authorized user by requesting the authorization PIN code or recognizing the user through existing caller ID technology (CID) or through voice- recognition technology for the mobile unit user and further determines that the merchant from which the mobile terminal user is attempting to purchase a product or service is a subscriber to this payment option by requesting input of its Merchant Code.
- the amount of purchase is entered by the mobile unit user.
- the central processing computer verifies that the mobile unit account has a sufficient amount to cover the specific transaction, and if verified, a transaction-specific authorization code is provided by the central processing computer to the mobile unit user.

- the information pertinent to the transaction and the mobile unit user is then transmitted to the central processing computer.
- the central processing computer processes the information and data pertinent to the transaction and to the particular account and requests that the point-of-sale operator enter the transaction amount.
- the central processing unit verifies that the merchant is a subscribing merchant and that the mobile unit user is a valid user through the merchant code and authorization PIN code, respectively. Further, the central processing computer confirms that the account has sufficient funds to cover the transaction or if the transaction will deplete the account of its value.
- the central processing unit contacts the mobile unit user through the mobile communication unit and requests the authorization PIN number for the user. If the appropriate number is entered, the central processing unit provides information identifying the transaction and may include the name of the store or the service provider and the amount of the transaction. The information transmitted may also provide the time of the transaction, and the location (i.e., city, town, village, state, country, etc.) of the transaction. The information data may also be supplemented to include the type of goods and/or services involved in the transaction, if such information can be entered at the point-of-sale device.
- the mobile unit user has the option to confirm or deny the transaction.
- the apparatus, or the central processing computer awaits the cardholder's response to its transmission. During this time, the mobile unit user may either approve and thus authorize, the transaction, or disapprove and thus void the transaction.
- the central processing unit determines if the mobile unit user has made a reply or response within a pre-defined time limit. If a reply is received, the response may then be transmitted to, and received by, the POST. If the cardholder does not reply to the central processing computer within a pre-specified time, the central processing computer may transmit a signal to the point-of-sale device indicating that, with the exception of receiving the authorization of the cardholder, the transaction is otherwise approved.
- the central processing computer may also simply transmit a signal indicating that the transaction is not authorized and, therefore, should be canceled or voided.
- the point-of-sale device operator may then either proceed to complete the transaction, try to obtain additional information from the purchaser, or cancel the transaction.
- the central processing computer after receiving the response from the mobile unit user, identifies the response and determines whether the mobile unit user has authorized the transaction. If the cardholder's response is to not authorize the transaction, the central processing computer transmits a signal to the POST, which will notify the point-of-sale device operator that the transaction is not authorized and, therefore, should be canceled or voided. The point-of-sale device operator may then cancel the transaction.
- the central processing computer If, however, the central processing computer identifies the mobile unit user's response as authorizing the transaction, the central processing computer transmits a signal to the POST, which notifies the point-of-sale device operator that the transaction is authorized. The point-of-sale device operator may then complete the transaction. Thereafter, operation of the apparatus will cease for this particular transaction.
- the mobile unit user may also program the communication device to automatically authorize transactions.
- the communication device may be programmable so as to receive and to analyze the transaction information and respond to same automatically with preset or programmed responses.
- the communication device or the central processing computer may also be programmable so as to limit or restrict the amounts and types of transactions, or the goods and services which may be purchased through the telephonic payment system.
- the apparatus and method of the present invention provides for real-time financial transactions, authorization therefor, and notification thereof.
