Abstract

A dual mode payment interface device having a touch display and alternatively operating in a first mode and a second mode and an associated dual mode system are disclosed. The first mode provides access to a merchant system interface (MSI) on the touch display and provides access to a customer system interface (CSI) on the touch display. The second mode provides access to a CSI on the touch display and does not provide access to the MSI on the touch display. The system also includes a merchant display device having a second touch display. The merchant display device provides access to the MSI on the second touch display. The system also includes a wire that provides a communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and the merchant display device. The second mode is enabled by the communicative connection.

Claims29

Dependent claims

A dual mode payment interface device comprising:

a first touch screen display;
a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon;
and
at least one processor that executes the computer-readable instructions to:
in a first mode of operation, provide access to a merchant system interface and to a customer system interface on the first touch screen display;
in a second mode of operation, provide access to one and only one of the customer system interface or the merchant system interface on the first touch screen display;
detect a communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and a second display device, wherein the communicative connection is detected in response to a wire being connected to the dual mode payment device and the second display device;
switch the dual mode payment interface device from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation in response to detecting the communicative connection;
lock the dual mode payment interface device into the second mode of operation in response to detecting the communicative connection;
and
remain in the second mode until the wire is removed to lose the communicative connection.

8 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-readable instructions stored thereon that when executed by at least one processor of a dual mode payment interface device causes the at least one processor to perform a process comprising:

providing, in a first mode of operation, access to a merchant system interface and a customer system interface on a first touch screen display;
providing, in a second mode of operation, access to one and only one of the customer system interface or the merchant system interface on the first touch screen display;
detecting a communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and a second display device, wherein the communicative connection is detected in response to a wire being connected to the dual mode payment device and the second display device;
switching the dual mode payment interface device from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation in response to detecting the communicative connection,
locking the dual mode payment interface device into the second mode of operation in response to detecting the communicative connection;
and
remaining in the second mode until the wire is removed to lose the communicative connection.

4 more elements

A method comprising:

providing access, by a dual mode payment interface device, to a merchant system interface and to a customer system interface on a first touch screen display in a first mode of operation;
detecting, by the dual mode payment interface device, a communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and a second touch screen display, wherein the communicative connection is detected in response to a wire being connected to the dual mode payment device and the second display device;
switching, by the dual mode payment interface device, from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation, responsive to detecting the communicative connection;
locking-in the second mode of operation, by the dual mode payment interface device, response to detecting the communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and the second touch screen display;
and
remaining in the second mode until the wire is removed to lose the communicative connection;
wherein the second mode of operation:
provides access to only one of the customer system interface or the merchant system interface on the dual mode payment interface device;
and
provides access to only one of the customer system interface or the merchant system interface on the second touch screen display;
and
displays a different one of the customer system interface or the merchant system interface on each of the dual mode payment interface device or the second touch screen display.
