Claims20
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a transport that is located exterior to a location, an occupant of the transport leave the transport and visit the location;
- detecting, by a point-of-sale (POS) system located within an interior of the location, a mobile device of the occupant within a predetermined proximity of the POS system;
- in response, transmitting, by the POS system, proximity information of the mobile device of the occupant with respect to the POS system to the transport;
- determining, by the transport, based on the proximity information of the mobile device of the occupant, that an exchange is to be performed between the occupant and the POS system located within the interior of the location;
- and
- transmitting, by the transport, a message to the POS system to complete the exchange.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a processor of a transport;
- a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- detect, while the transport is located exterior to the location, an occupant of the transport leave the transport and visit the location,
- determine based on a proximity information of a mobile device of the occupant, that an exchange is to be performed between the occupant and a point-of-sale (POS) system located within the interior of the location, and
- transmit a message to the POS system from the transport to complete the exchange;
- the system further comprising the point-of-sale (POS) system located within an interior of a location comprising;
- a POS processor;
- a POS memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the POS processor, cause the POS processor to:
- detect the mobile device of the occupant within a predetermined proximity of the POS system;
- in response, transmit the proximity information of the mobile device of the occupant with respect to the POS system to the transport.
7 more elements
A system comprising a first non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising first instructions, that when read by a processor of a transport, cause the processor of the transport to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, while the transport is located exterior to a location, an occupant of the transport leave the transport;
- determining, based on proximity information of a mobile device of the occupant, that an exchange is to be performed between the occupant and a point-of-sale (POS) system located within an interior of the location;
- and
- transmitting a message to the POS system to complete the exchange;
- wherein the system further comprises a second non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising second instructions, that when read by a processor of the POS system cause the processor of the POS system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting the mobile device of the occupant within a predetermined proximity of the POS system;
- in response, transmitting the proximity information of the mobile device of the occupant with respect to the POS system to the transport.
