OFFLINE BILL SPLITTING SYSTEM

摘要

Systems and method for splitting a bill offline include detecting one or more local devices using local wireless communications provided by a peer-to-peer communication module. At least one payer device of the one or more local devices is selected for apportioning a primary bill. An offline payment authorization is then received from each at least one payer device through local wireless communications provided by the peer-to-peer communication module. When an Internet connection is later detected, the system provider connects to the Internet and sends the offline payment authorization received from each at least one payer device to a payment provider device over the Internet. The payment provider device may then transfer funds from account(s) of the at least one payer device to the account of the system provider.
