Instantaneous virtual card for making purchases
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240037534A1) outlines a method, system, and computer-readable medium for opening an instantaneous instrument. The method involves receiving a request to open the instrument, generating an instrument number, transmitting it to a client device, and verifying subsequent requests based on this number. Additional steps include generating a security code, printing a physical instrument with the number and code displayed, and evaluating user information to meet minimum requirements for opening the instrument.
The system described in the patent includes a computing device with machine-readable instructions to execute the method steps. It can receive requests, generate instrument numbers, transmit them, verify requests, generate statements, and perform security-related functions like generating codes and printing physical instruments. The system evaluates user information, assigns scores, calculates an evaluation score, and compares it to a threshold value. The computer-readable medium contains instructions for a processor to carry out these functions, ensuring the secure and efficient opening of instantaneous instruments while maintaining user data integrity and security throughout the process.
