Systems and methods for identifying parties based on coordinating identifers

Abstract

Systems and methods for allowing separate parties to identify each other through the use of matching computer-coordinated identifiers are discussed. In some cases, the methods include using a processor of a computer system to identify a first computer device configured to provide a first perceptible identifier, using the processor to identify a second computer device that is configured to provide a second perceptible identifier, and using the processor to send the first perceptible identifier to the first computer device and the second perceptible identifier to the second computer device, wherein the first and second perceptible identifiers correspond with each other to provide a two-sided, computer-coordinated verification. In some cases, the described methods include modifying the first and second identifiers as the first and second computer devices come into proximity with each other. Other implementations are discussed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer program product for implementing within a computer system a method for dynamically identifying parties of a transaction through use of corresponding identifiers, the computer program product comprising:
 a computer-readable, non-transitory medium for providing computer program code means utilized to implement the method, wherein the computer program code means comprises executable code for implementing steps for:
 identifying a first computer device configured to provide a first identifier that is humanly perceptible; 
 identifying a second computer device configured to provide a second identifier that is humanly perceptible; 
 providing the first identifier from the first computer device and the second identifier from the second computer device, wherein the first and second identifiers correspond with each other to provide a computer-coordinated verification; 
 receiving a first request at the first computer device to modify the second identifier from the second computer device of the transaction; 
 communicating the first request to the second computer device; and 
 modifying the second identifier, wherein the second modified identifier is provided from the second computer device, and wherein the second modified identifier is (i) readily distinguishable from the second identifier of the transaction, and (ii) is configured to be readily humanly perceived by the user of the first computer device.
