Claims14
A method, comprising:
- detecting, by transport using wireless communication located at an exterior of a location, an occupant with a mobile device leave the transport and enter an interior of the location;
- detecting, by the transport using the wireless communication, a position of the occupant's device within a predetermined distance of a point-of-sale (POS) system located within the interior of the location;
- determining, by the transport using sensors, based on the position of the occupant's device within the predetermined distance with the POS system, that an exchange is to be performed between the occupant and the POS system located within the interior of the location;
- and
- responsive to determining that an exchange is to be performed and the distance being within the predetermined distance, transmitting a message from the transport to the POS system to complete the exchange between the mobile device and the POS system.

A transport system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- detect, using wireless communication while the transport located at an exterior of a location, an occupant with a mobile device leave the transport and enter an interior of the location;
- detect, using the wireless communication, a position of the occupant's device within a predetermined distance of a point-of-sale (POS) system located within the interior of the location;
- determine, using sensors, based on the position of the occupant's device within the predetermined distance with the POS system, that an exchange is to be performed between the occupant and the POS system located within the interior of the location;
- and
- responsive to determining that an exchange is to be performed and the distance being within the predetermined distance, transmit a message to the POS system to complete the exchange between the mobile device and the POS system.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor of a transport, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, when the transport is located at an exterior of a location, an occupant with a mobile device leave the transport and enter an interior of the location;
- detect, using the wireless communication, a position of the occupant's device within a predetermined distance of a point-of-sale (POS) system located within the interior of the location;
- determine, using sensors, based on the position of the occupant's device within the predetermined distance with the POS system, that an exchange is to be performed between the occupant and the POS system located within the interior of the location;
- and
- responsive to determining that an exchange is to be performed and the distance being within the predetermined distance, transmit a message to the POS system to complete the exchange between the mobile device and the POS system.
