Description

The present invention relates to a payment terminal (POS) at a sales floor, and particularly relates to a connector device that can be connected to a printing device that prints receipts.

Recently, various payment service methods have been proposed in which various information necessary for payment processing is transmitted from a payment terminal in a sales floor to a user wireless terminal and payment processing is performed via the user wireless terminal.

However, conventionally, in order to transmit various information necessary for payment processing from the payment terminal to the user wireless terminal, the software provided in the payment terminal may be changed and / or the payment processing may be performed on the payment terminal. I had to install a separate software for and / or supply a separate payment terminal with the software for the payment processing, but most payment terminals (eg POS terminals) Since a separate management entity (for example, VAN, etc. in the case of a POS terminal) is specified for (such as), the management entity of the payment terminal directly provides payment processing using the user wireless terminal or with the management entity. As long as we do not cooperate to provide payment processing using user wireless terminals, it is difficult to achieve the problem of changing the software provided in the payment terminal or installing separate software. It has the problem that it costs a lot to supply a separate payment terminal.

However, in the past, in order to transmit various information necessary for payment processing from the payment terminal to the user wireless terminal, after inputting the telephone number of the user wireless terminal into the payment terminal, the payment processing is performed to the user wireless terminal using this. It was possible to convey various necessary information, but in such a method, the operator of the payment terminal verbally asks the user for the telephone number of the wireless terminal, and then listens to the telephone number spoken by the user. Not only is there the inconvenience of having to enter or present the keypad to the user and the user must enter the phone number directly, but the problem is that the phone number of the user's wireless terminal is exposed to the payment terminal. In addition to partially changing / adding the software provided in the payment terminal for inputting the telephone number, the software of the management-based server system that manages the payment terminal for processing the telephone number is also one. Realize an independent general-purpose service that does not work with the management-based server system because it must be linked with the management-based server system for problems that must be changed / added, information transmission and payment processing. Has a problem that is esoteric.

On the other hand, without inputting the telephone number of the user wireless terminal into the payment terminal, an identifier is exchanged between the payment terminal and the user wireless terminal via another means (for example, QR), and the user uses this. A method of transmitting various information necessary for payment processing to a wireless terminal has been proposed, but in this case as well, it is of course necessary to partially change / add software provided in the payment terminal for exchanging the identifier. The software of the management-based server system that manages the payment terminal for identifier processing also has to be partially changed / added, and it must be linked with the management-based server system for information transmission and payment processing. Therefore, it still has the problem that it is difficult to realize an independent general-purpose service that does not work with the management-based server system.

On the other hand, recently, the payment terminal and the user wireless terminal are not directly linked, and a separate device (for example, the so-called "dongle") is connected to the payment terminal, which is necessary for the user wireless terminal to perform payment processing. A method for transmitting various information has been proposed. However, many payment terminals (such as POS terminals) are made exclusively for payment and point-of-sale, so external ports that are not used for payment or point-of-sale to prevent breakdowns and malfunctions during use It will be released in a removed state, and will be released in a state where it is processed so that it will not be used internally even if the external port is not removed. Therefore, in order to connect and use a separate device to a payment terminal already installed in the sales floor, the separate device goes beyond simply changing / adding a part of the software provided in the payment terminal. It has a problem that it must be replaced with a payment terminal manufactured separately so that it can be connected, and it is difficult to realize an independent general-purpose service that does not work with the management entity of the payment terminal. I have it unchanged.
