THIRD-PARTY AUTHORIZATION SUPPORT FOR INTERACTIVE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT FUNCTIONS

Abstract:

In some aspects, a computing system can obtain, from a host server, a data network identifier that identifies a mobile device involved in an online transaction within an interactive computing environment provided by the host server. The computing system can also obtain, from a telecommunication provider server, a credential corresponding to the data network identifier. The computing system can match the credential to a set of authorization elements. Each authorization element can allow the mobile device to access a function for advancing the online transaction within the interactive computing environment. The computing system can generate a dynamic authorization data structure that includes the authorization elements. The computing system can cause the host server to advance, responsive to receiving a selection from the mobile device identifying one of the authorization elements, the online transaction within the interactive computing environment.
