Consumer device based point-of-sale

摘要

Systems and related methods facilitating interactions between a merchant device, a central system and a consumer device are discussed herein. Wallet identifying data may be used to secure messages between the consumer device and the merchant device over a wireless link. For example, the merchant device may include circuitry configured to wirelessly receive the wallet identifying data from a consumer device and to transmit the wallet identifying data to the central system. In response, consumer identifying data associated with the wallet identifying data may be received by the merchant device from the central system. In some embodiments, the consumer identifying data may be associated with a unit of location, such as a dine-in location at a restaurant, to facilitate consumer service.

主权项

1. A merchant device comprising:
a display configured to present interactive displays; communications circuitry configured to facilitate communications with a consumer device and a central system; and processing circuitry configured to:
associate the merchant device with a unit of location at the merchant shop;wirelessly receive wallet identifying data from the consumer device via a direct wireless connection when the consumer device is within a direct wireless communicable range of the merchant device;transmit the wallet identifying data to the central system via a network connection separate from the direct wireless connection, wherein the wallet identifying data includes a random code generated by the central system independent of consumer identifying data associated with the wallet identifying data;in response to transmitting the wallet identifying data, receive, from the central system and via the network connection, the consumer identifying data associated with the wallet identifying data; andassociate the consumer identifying data with the unit of location at a merchant shop based on the merchant device wirelessly receiving the wallet identifying data when the consumer device is within the direct wireless communicable range of the merchant device.
