Abstract:
A method for completing a transaction at a terminal between a terminal and a mobile device including: initiating a transaction at the terminal; initiating communication with the mobile device; determining that the mobile device is without power; transmitting a wireless power signal to power the mobile device; sending a transaction authentication request message to the mobile device after transmitting the wireless power signal; receiving an authentication message from the mobile device; and completing the transaction after receiving the authentication message from the mobile device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods, apparatuses and systems involving establishing communication with wireless devices. According to an example embodiment, a system comprises orientation circuitry configured and arranged to obtain orientation data indicative of a physical orientation of the user, a communication circuit configured and arranged to wirelessly communicate data with a plurality of wireless devices, and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured and arranged to: determine a direction of interest using the orientation data, select a wireless device from the plurality wireless devices based on the direction of interest, the selection being based on information indicating a location of the user relative to the plurality of wireless devices, and establish communication between the system and the selected wireless device.
