Initiating a transaction based on a real-time kinematics assisted location of a device

Abstract:

A client device can determine, based on global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data received from one or more GNSS satellites, a non-real-time kinematics (RTK) GNSS location of the client device. The client device can determine, based on corrections data received from a reference station, an RTK-assisted GNSS location, of the client device, from the non-RTK GNSS location. The client device can broadcast location information associated with the client device, the location information indicating the RTK-assisted GNSS location of the client device. The client device can receive, from a merchant device, a peer-to-peer connection request, for a peer-to-peer connection between the client device and the merchant device, based on transmitting the location information and based on the RTK-assisted GNSS location of the client device being located within a particular geographic area. The client device and the merchant device can process a transaction via the peer-to-peer connection.
