    Abstract: A device with one or more processors, memory, and two or more communication capabilities obtains, from a payment module, advertised information via a first communication capability (e.g., BLE) at least including an authorization code. The device sends, to a server, at least the authorization code from the advertised information via a second communication capability (e.g., GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, etc.) distinct from the first communication capability. After the sending, the device obtains, from the server, authorization information via the second communication capability at least including an authorization grant token. After obtaining the authorization information, the device detects a trigger condition to perform a first transaction with a payment accepting unit (e.g., an automatic retailing machine for dispensing goods and/or services) associated with the payment module. In response to detecting the trigger condition, the device sends, to the payment module, the authorization grant token via the first communication capability.

    Abstract translation: 具有一个或多个处理器,存储器和两个或更多个通信能力的设备从支付模块获得至少包括授权码的第一通信能力(例如,BLE)通告信息。 该设备经由与第一通信能力不同的第二通信能力(例如,GSM,CDMA,Wi-Fi等)向服务器至少向所通告的信息发送授权码。 在发送之后,设备从服务器获得至少包括授权授权令牌的第二通信能力的授权信息。 在获得授权信息之后,设备检测触发条件,以便与支付模块相关联的支付接收单元(例如,用于分发商品和/或服务的自动零售机器)执行第一交易。 响应于检测到触发条件,设备经由第一通信能力向支付模块发送授权授权令牌。

    Abstract: An offline retail machine comprising a short-range transceiver, one or more processors, and memory performs communications operations via one or more mobile devices. The communications operations include establishing via the short-range transceiver a connection with a first mobile device, and transmitting first information to the first mobile device. Upon not receiving an acknowledgement that the first information was received by a remote server, the offline retail machine maintains the first information in the memory and establishes, via the short-range transceiver, a connection with a second mobile device, appends the first information to second information, and transmits the first and second information to the second mobile device. Upon receiving acknowledgement that the first and second information were received by a remote server, the offline retail machine deletes the first and second information.

    Abstract: A mobile device with a first transceiver, a second transceiver, one or more processors, and memory bridges communications between an offline retail machine with a short-range communication capability and a remote server by obtaining via the first transceiver a single-use request code from an information packet broadcast by the offline retail machine; transmitting via the second transceiver the single-use request code to a remote server; obtaining via the second transceiver from the remote server a grant token including the single-use request code; detecting a trigger condition for initiating provision of a product or service by the offline retail machine; and in response to detecting the trigger condition, initiating performance of the provision of the product or service by transmitting the grant token to the offline retail machine via the first transceiver.

    Abstract: A first device with one or more processors, processors, memory, and two or more communication capabilities obtains, from a payment module, advertised information via a first communication capability (e.g., BLE), where the advertised information at least includes a current firmware version of the payment module. In accordance with a determination that the current firmware version of the payment module satisfies one or more predefined firmware criteria (i.e., indicating that the payment module's firmware needs updating), the first device includes sends, to the payment module, firmware update information via the first communication capability, where the firmware update information includes one or more data packets for updating the current firmware version of the payment module.

    Abstract: A mobile device with a first transceiver, a second transceiver, one or more processors, and memory bridges communications between an offline retail machine with a short-range communication capability and a remote server by obtaining via the first transceiver a single-use request code from an information packet broadcast by the offline retail machine; transmitting via the second transceiver the single-use request code to a remote server; obtaining via the second transceiver from the remote server a grant token including the single-use request code; detecting a trigger condition for initiating provision of a product or service by the offline retail machine; and in response to detecting the trigger condition, initiating performance of the provision of the product or service by transmitting the grant token to the offline retail machine via the first transceiver.
