US 2021/0201286 A1 · VIRTUAL GUEST FACING DISPLAY

Abstract

A virtual guest facing display system has as a terminal and a server. The terminal receives a transaction token that corresponds to the transaction and presents the transaction token for acceptance by a guest device, where acceptance of the transaction token launches a proprietary application on the guest device, and where the proprietary application transmits acceptance of the transaction token to the server. The server is configured to transmit communications to the guest device that provide for display of details for the transaction on the guest device that are also displayed on the point-of-sale terminal, whereby a guest may enter transaction details that are transmitted from the guest device to the server, where the server is further configured to accept the transaction completion data and notify the guest device and the point-of-sale terminal that the transaction is complete.

Dependent claims

A virtual guest facing display method for completion of a transaction, the method comprising:

via a point-of-sale terminal, receiving a transaction token from a server that corresponds to the transaction, the transaction token having been transmitted over the internet cloud, wherein the server is not collocated with the point-of-sale terminal, and wherein communications between the point-of-sale terminal and the server are transmitted and received through a gateway device that is collocated with the point-of-sale terminal;
presenting the transaction token for acceptance by a guest device, accepting the transaction token by the guest device, launching a proprietary application on the guest device, and employing the proprietary application to transmit acceptance of the transaction token to the server;
via the server, transmitting communications to the guest device that provide for display of details for the transaction on the guest device that are also displayed on the point-of-sale terminal, whereby a guest may enter transaction details that are transmitted from the guest device to the server;
and
via the server, accepting the transaction completion data and notifying the guest device and the point-of-sale terminal that the transaction is complete.

A computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a virtual guest facing display method for completion of a transaction, the method comprising:

via a point-of-sale terminal, receiving a transaction token from a server that corresponds to the transaction, the transaction token having been transmitted over the internet cloud, wherein the server is not collocated with the point-of-sale terminal, and wherein communications between the point-of-sale terminal and the server are transmitted and received through a gateway device that is collocated with the point-of-sale terminal;
presenting the transaction token for acceptance by a guest device, accepting the transaction token by the guest device, launching a proprietary application on the guest device, and employing the proprietary application to transmit acceptance of the transaction token to the server;
via the server, transmitting communications to the guest device that provide for display of details for the transaction on the guest device that are also displayed on the point-of-sale terminal, whereby a guest may enter transaction details that are transmitted from the guest device to the server;
and
via the server, accepting the transaction completion data and notifying the guest device and the point-of-sale terminal that the transaction is complete.

2 more elements

A virtual guest facing display system for completion of a transaction, the system comprising:

a point-of-sale terminal, configured to receive a transaction token from a server that corresponds to the transaction, said transaction token having been transmitted over the internet cloud, wherein said server is not collocated with said point-of-sale terminal, and wherein communications between said point-of-sale terminal and said server are transmitted and received through a gateway device that is collocated with said point-of-sale terminal, and wherein said point-of-sale terminal is further configured to present said transaction token for acceptance by a guest device, and wherein acceptance of said transaction token by said guest device launches a proprietary application on said guest device, and wherein said proprietary application transmits acceptance of said transaction token to said server;
said server, configured to transmit communications to said guest device that provide for display of details for the transaction on said guest device that are also displayed on said point-of-sale terminal, whereby a guest may enter transaction details that are transmitted from said guest device to said server, wherein said server is further configured to accept said transaction completion data and notify said guest device and said point-of-sale terminal that the transaction is complete.
