Google Introducing GPay
September 3rd, 2007 Noor Posted in General |
Friday, a Google patent application filing named Text message payment was posted at the USPTO site. The patent described how “GPay” can be used to make payment via text messages.
An example of how Gpay can be used include mostly offline scenarios such as paying for items in vending machines or paying simple offline retailers.
Here is an image from the patent that shows a method of paying over your phone: here

I think the GPay system is more likely to be used in the near future to facilitate people buying directly from the Google Product Search For Mobile service, as that one is already out in beta as per AccuraCast’s news: http://www.accuracast.com/search-daily-news/mobile-7471/introducing-google-product-search-for-mobile/
