Abstract
A method and wireless device for conduction transactions at a point-of-sale terminal using the wireless device is disclosed and may include initiating a transaction with the point-of-sale terminal via a wireless link, receiving at least one price from the point-of-sale terminal, determining whether the at least one price satisfies a price warning condition, and transmitting a signal if the at least one price satisfies the price warning condition.
Claims85
A method of conducting transactions at a point-of-sale terminal using a wireless device, comprising:
- receiving at least one price from a point-of-sale terminal via a wireless link;
- determining whether the at least one received price satisfies a price warning condition;
- outputting a first signal at the wireless device in response to determining that the at least one received price satisfies the price warning condition;
- and
- outputting a second signal at the wireless device in response to determining that the at least one received price does not satisfy the price warning condition.
A method of conducting transactions at a point-of-sale terminal using a wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving a price of at least one item from a point-of-sale terminal via a wireless link;
- searching a database to determine at least one comparative prices for the at least one item;
- determining whether the received price is greater than the at least one comparative price for the at least one item by a pre-defined threshold;
- and
- outputting a first signal at the wireless device in response to determining that the received price is greater than any of the one or more comparative prices for the at least one item by the pre-defined threshold.
A wireless device, comprising:
- a memory;
- a wireless network card;
- a speaker;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, wireless network card, and speaker, wherein the processor is configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving at least one price from a point-of-sale terminal via a wireless link;
- determining whether the at least one received price satisfies a price warning condition;
- outputting a first signal in response to determining that the at least one received price satisfies the price warning condition;
- and
- outputting a second signal in response to determining that the at least one received price does not satisfy the price warning condition.
A wireless device, comprising:
- a memory;
- a wireless network card;
- a speaker;
- a processor coupled to the memory, wireless network card, and speaker, wherein the processor is configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a price of at least one item from a point-of-sale terminal via a wireless link;
- searching a database to determine at least one comparative prices for the at least one item;
- determining whether the received price is greater than the at least one comparative price for the at least one item by a pre-defined threshold;
- and
- outputting a first signal in response to determining that the received price is greater than any of the one or more comparative prices for the at least one item by the pre-defined threshold.
A wireless device, comprising:
- means for receiving at least one price from a point-of-sale terminal via a wireless link;
- means for determining whether the at least one received price satisfies a price warning condition;
- means for outputting a first signal in response to determining that the at least one received price satisfies the price warning condition;
- and
- means for outputting a second signal in response to determining that the at least one received price does not satisfy the price warning condition.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor of a wireless device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving at least one price from a point-of-sale terminal via a wireless link;
- determining whether the at least one received price satisfies a price warning condition;
- outputting a first signal at the wireless device in response to determining that the at least one received price satisfies the price warning condition;
- and
- outputting a second signal at the wireless device in response to determining that the at least one received price does not satisfy the price warning condition.
