Abstract
A device may include a transaction web server. The transaction server may be configured to receive a hypertext markup language HTTP message that includes information sent from a transaction device, determine whether the message is a request to authorize a transaction or a request to settle a transaction, route a first portion of the HTTP message to a customer device to obtain an authorization from the customer device when the HTTP message is a request to authorize the transaction, and route a second portion of the HTTP message to the customer device to settle the transaction when the HTTP message is a request to settle a transaction.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a transaction web server configured to:
- receive a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message that includes information sent from a transaction device;
- determine whether the message is a request to authorize a transaction or a request to settle the transaction;
- route a first portion of the HTTP message to a customer device to obtain an authorization from the customer device when the HTTP message is a request to authorize the transaction;
- and
- route a second portion of the HTTP message to the customer device to settle the transaction when the HTTP message is a request to settle the transaction,
- wherein, the transaction web server, when routing the first portion of the HTTP message to the customer device, is further configured to forward the first portion of the HTTP message to gateway applications, and
- wherein the gateway applications are configured to:
- receive the first portion of the HTTP message;
- perform a lookup of a destination address of the customer device based on information provided in the first portion of the HTTP message;
- and
- send a portion of the first portion to the customer device.
A method comprising:
- receiving by a processor associated with a transaction web server, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message that includes information sent from a transaction device;
- determining, by the processor, whether the message is a request to authorize a transaction or a request to settle a transaction;
- routing, by the processor, a first portion of the HTTP message to a customer device to obtain an authorization from the customer device when the HTTP message is a request to authorize the transaction, wherein routing the first portion of the HTTP message includes:
- forwarding the first portion of the HTTP message to gateway applications, wherein the gateway applications receive the first portion of the HTTP message, perform a lookup of a destination address of the customer device based on information provided in the first portion of the HTTP message, and send a portion of the first portion to the customer device based on the destination address;
- and
- routing, by the processor, a second portion of the HTTP message to the customer device to settle the transaction when the HTTP message is a request to settle a transaction.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by a processor associated with a transaction web server, cause the processor to:
- receive a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message that includes information sent from a transaction device;
- determine whether the message is a request to authorize a transaction or a request to settle a transaction;
- route a first portion of the HTTP message to a customer device to obtain an authorization from the customer device when the HTTP message is a request to authorize the transaction, wherein gateway applications receive the first portion of the HTTP message, perform a lookup of a destination address of the customer device based on information provided in the first portion of the HTTP message, and send a portion of the first portion to the customer device based on the destination address;
- and
- route a second portion of the HTTP message to the customer device to settle the transaction when the HTTP message is a request to settle a transaction.
