Following development of financial business and progress of transactions, plastic money has been intensively used to substitute for real money payment. By means of plastic money (credit card, cash card), consumers need not to carry a big amount of cash when going to buy things, avoiding loss of cash, pickpockets or cash-robbing, and preventing receiving counterfeit bills during a transaction. Nowadays, more and more people are willing to use plastic money in transactions. When making a credit card or cash card payment, the shop staff needs to connect a credit card reader to the remote credit card transaction processing center through a telephone line to obtain the authorization code and then to input the amount of money to be paid. Therefore, commercial credit card readers are commonly installed inside a house where a telephone line is available for connection to the remote credit card transaction processing center.
In a shop, department store or sales center,, a credit card reader is provided at every payment counter or checkout counter.
When a consumer parched the desired items, the salesman or saleswomen may have to carry the consumer's credit card to the payment counter or checkout counter and swipe the credit card and to make the payment. During peak hours, salesmen or saleswomen may have to line up in the payment counter or checkout counter, wasting much time. When a salesman or saleswoman leaved from his or her sales counter, the sales counter is unguarded. Further, the credit card reader may be interrupted due to a long use, causing transaction trouble.
As stated above, the use of conventional credit card readers has numerous drawbacks as follows: 1. A conventional credit card reader must be installed in a house for connection to the remote credit card transaction processing center through a telephone line for the swiping of a credit card or cash card. Because of low mobility, conventional credit card readers are not convenient in use.
2. During peak hours, the people may have to line up in the payment counter or checkout counter, wasting much time in making the payment.
3. In a big-scale shop, sales center or department store, credit card readers are provided at payment counters or checkout counters, a salesman or saleswomen must go away from the sales counter and carry the consumer's credit card to a nearby payment counter or checkout counter and to swipe the credit card and to make the payment, leaving the sales counter unguarded.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a mobile handheld card reader, which eliminates the aforesaid problems and
