Abstract
A method of processing payment transactions includes receiving a connection request from a client device, determining whether a gateway is available for the client device, creating a connection between the client device and a gateway, the gateway being a previously existing gateway or a newly generated gateway, creating a message filter for the client device on a message bus, listening for messages on the message bus and transmitting the message to the client device by way of the gateway upon finding a message on the message bus matching the message filter.
Claims14
A method of processing payment transactions, comprising:
- receiving a message intended for a stateless personal identification number (PIN) pad among a plurality of stateless PIN pads;
- generating a gateway storing state information for the stateless PIN pad, including an address of the stateless PIN pad, based on receiving the message intended for the stateless PIN pad;
- and
- transmitting the message to the stateless PIN pad by way of the generated gateway,
- wherein the generated gateway is configured to maintain a connection to only the stateless PIN pad among the plurality of stateless PIN pads.
A computer system for processing payment transactions, the system comprising:
- a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein;
- and
- a processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor configures the processor to perform a plurality of functions, including functions to:
- receive a message intended for a stateless personal identification number (PIN) pad among a plurality of stateless PIN pads;
- generate a gateway storing state information for the stateless PIN pad, including an address of the stateless PIN pad, based on receiving the message intended for the stateless PIN pad;
- and
- transmit the message to the stateless PIN pad by way of the generated gateway,
- wherein the generated gateway is configured to maintain a connection to only the stateless PIN pad among the plurality of stateless PIN pads.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a method of processing payment transactions, the method comprising:
- receiving a message intended for a stateless personal identification number (PIN) pad among a plurality of stateless PIN pads;
- generating a gateway storing state information for the stateless PIN pad, including an address of stateless PIN pad, based on receiving the message intended for the stateless PIN pad;
- and
- transmitting the message to the stateless PIN pad by way of the generated gateway,
- wherein the generated gateway is configured to maintain a connection to only the stateless PIN pad.
