Systems and Methods for Management of Local Devices

摘要

Systems, methods and devices which provide controls to a parent entity over computing resources residing with an agent entity are discussed herein. In one example, embodiments may allow a parent entity to control peripheral hardware devices which are otherwise controlled locally by a computing device at an agent location. Further, in one embodiment, a parent entity may control the receipt of information from an agent computing device in order to authenticate the agent device. In one embodiment, such control may be implemented via a shell application that executes on an agent computing device when the agent is processing a financial transaction via a web browser interface.
