Transaction system

摘要

A transaction system has a terminal device contactlessly communicating in the near zone for carrying out transactions with transaction partners disposed in the near zone. A relay end device is arranged to set up a contactless data communication with the terminal device and to relay transaction data received from the terminal device to a remotely disposed transaction unit. A server device switches the relay end device with the transaction unit as a transaction partner for the terminal device, depending on the type of the transaction.
