`
`This listing of claims will replace all prior versions, and listings, of claims in the
`
`application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A system for authenticating a user for enabling a
`
`transaction, the system comprising:
`
`a first device including:
`
`a first processor, the first processor programmed to authenticate a user of the first
`
`device based on secret information and to retrieve or receive first biometric information
`
`of the user of the first handheld device; [[and]]
`
`a first wireless transceiver coupled to the first processor and programmed to
`
`transmit a first wireless signal including first authentication information of the user of the
`
`first handheld device; @
`
`a biometric sensor configured to capture the first biometric information of the
`
`user; [[and]]
`
`wherein the first processor is programmed to generate one or more signals
`
`including the first authentication information, an indicator of biometric authentication,
`
`and a time varying value in response to valid authentication of the first biometric
`
`information, and to provide the one or more signals including the first authentication
`
`information for transmitting to a second device; and
`
`wherein the first processor is further configured to receive an enablement signal
`
`from the second device; u].
`
`the system further including the second device that is configured to provide the
`
`enablement signal indicating that the second device approved the transaction based on use of the
`
`one or more signals;
`
`wherein the second device includes a second processor that is configured to
`
`provide the enablement signal based on the indication of biometric authentication of the
`
`user of the first handheld device, at least a portion of the first authentication information,
`
`and second authentication information of the user of the first handheld device to enable
`
`and complete processing of the transaction.
`
`
`
`Application No. 15/019,660
`Amendment dated November 10, 2016
`After Allowance Under 37 CPR. § 1.312
`
`3
`
`Docket No.2 W0537—700924
`
`2.
`
`(Previously Presented)The system according to claim 1, wherein the first
`
`processor is programmed to determine the first authentication information so that the first
`
`authentication information is generated based on at least part of the first biometric information or
`
`generated based on receiving the first biometric information.
`
`3.
`
`(Currently Amended) The system according to claim 1, the second device
`
`including:
`
`a second communication interface coupled to the second processor, and
`
`wherein the second processor is configured to receive the first authentication information
`
`of the user of the first handheld device, to retrieve or receive second the authentication
`
`information of the user of the first handheld device; and use the first authentication information
`
`and the second authentication information to authenticate the user of the first handheld device to
`
`enable the transaction.
`
`4.
`
`(Currently Amended) The system according to claim 1, the second device
`
`including:
`
`a second wireless transceiver coupled to the second processor, and
`
`wherein the second processor is configured to receive the first authentication information
`
`of the user of the first handheld device, to retrieve or receive the second authentication
`
`information of the user of the first handheld device; and use the first authentication information
`
`and the second authentication information to authenticate the user of the first handheld device to
`
`enable the transaction.
`
`5.
`
`(Original) The system of claim 1, wherein the first processor is further configured
`
`to compare stored authentication information with the authentication information of the user and
`
`configured to enable the first device based on a valid comparison.
`
`6.
`
`(Previously Presented)The system of claim 1, wherein the first processor is
`
`further configured to encrypt the first authentication information to communicate to the second
`
`device.
`
`
`
`Application No. 15/019,660
`Amendment dated November 10, 2016
`After Allowance Under 37 CPR. § 1.312
`
`4
`
`Docket No.: W0537—700924
`
`7.
`
`(Currently Amended) The system of claim 1, wherein the first handheld device
`
`includes a first memory coupled to the first_processor and configured to store the first_biometric
`
`information.
`
`8.
`
`(Original) The system of claim 1, wherein the first authentication information
`
`includes a multidigit public ID code for a credit card account, which a credit card issuer can map
`
`to a usable credit card number.
`
`9.
`
`(Original) The system of claim 1, wherein the first processor is further configured
`
`to communicate information associated with the biometric information of the user of the first
`
`device.
`
`10.
`
`(Currently Amended) The system of claim 1, further comprising:
`
`wherein the first handheld device includes a user interface coupled to the first processor;
`
`wherein the first processor is configured to receive the first biometric information of the
`
`user of the first device; and
`
`wherein the biometric information is employed by the user of the first hand-held device to
`
`initiate payment for the transaction.
`
`11.
`
`(Previously Presented)The system of claim 1, wherein the first device is
`
`configured to communicate with_the second device that is a networked credit card validation-
`
`information entity configured to approve or deny financial transactions based on authentication
`
`of the user.
`
`12.
`
`(Currently Amended) A system for authenticating a user for enabling a
`
`transaction, the system comprising:
`
`a first device including:
`
`a biometric sensor configured to capture a first biometric information of the user;
`
`a first processor programmed to: 1) authenticate a user of the first device based on secret
`
`information, 2) retrieve or receive first biometric information of the user of the first hand-held
