Abstract

A self-service controlled dispensing system includes a mobile device configured to verify an age or identity of a user and secure a user account with biometric validation, creating a digital identification based on the verified age or identity, identify one or more controlled dispensing machines in proximity to the mobile device, receive a user selection of a first controlled dispensing machine of the one or more identified controlled dispensing machines, and receive a user request to send a payment to the first controlled dispensing machine. In response to the user request to send the payment to the first controlled dispensing machine, the mobile device validates the user with a biometric check, and transmits the payment and a verification credential corresponding to the digital identification to the first controlled dispensing machine, enabling the first controlled dispensing machine to dispense a controlled product or service to the user.
