In the first mode, the at least one control device transmits a payment card account number via the antenna to a point of sale terminal. In the second mode, the at least one control device transmits a message to the point of sale terminal via the antenna to request that the point of sale terminal download transaction information to the mobile device. | 04-09-2009 |
20090094123 | PAYMENT SERVICES PROVIDER METHODS IN CONNECTION WITH PERSONALIZED PAYMENTS SYSTEM - A method includes receiving transaction information from a merchant device. The transaction information includes a transaction amount and merchant information that identifies a merchant that operates the merchant device. The method further includes receiving, from a mobile device, a request that a funds transfer be made from a payment card account that belongs to a customer who is operating the mobile device to a payment card account that belongs to the merchant. The method also includes forwarding the request to a financial institution that issued the payment card account that belongs to the customer. | 04-09-2009 |
20090094125 | SYSTEM FOR PERSONALIZED PAYMENTS VIA MOBILE DEVICES - A method includes receiving transaction information at a mobile device from a merchant device. The transaction information includes a transaction amount and merchant information that identifies a merchant that operates the merchant device. The method further includes generating a funds transfer request in the mobile device. The funds transfer request includes the merchant information, information that indicates the transaction amount and information that identifies a customer of the merchant. The funds transfer request is for requesting that funds be transferred from a payment card account that belongs to the customer to a payment card account that belongs to the merchant. The method also includes transmitting, from the mobile device, the funds transfer request, to a financial institution that issued the customer's payment card account. | 04-09-2009 |
20090094126 | DUAL USE POINT OF SALE TERMINAL AND METHODS OF OPERATING SAME - A method of operating a point of sale (POS) terminal includes inputting into the POS terminal information for defining a transaction. The method further includes selecting between a first mode of operation of the POS terminal and a second mode of operation of the POS terminal. In the first mode of operation the POS terminal initiates a payment card authorization request to an acquirer financial institution. In the second mode of operation the POS terminal transmits transaction information to a customer's mobile device. | 04-09-2009 |
