## Abstract

An example operation includes one or more of monitoring, by a transport exterior a location, an exchange performed in an interior of the location by a recent occupant of the transport, and completing, by the transport, the exchange.

## Claims

### Claim 1

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.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the completing comprises at least two portions of the exchange, wherein the at least two portions are settled by the recent occupant and one or more other occupants of the transport.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the exchange is completed based on a digital wallet associated with the transport.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the exchange is completed by the transport prior to the occupant exiting the location.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the determining comprises determining the exchange is imminent.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the completing includes completing a portion of the exchange when the occupant is in the interior of the location and completing a portion of the exchange when the occupant is exterior the location.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising altering an interior of the transport based on a type of the exchange and in anticipation of the occupant entering the transport.

### Claim 8

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.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the that complete comprises at least two portions of the exchange, wherein the at least two portions are settled by the occupant and one or more other occupants of the transport.

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.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)
