TW495694B - Embedded internet, integration and intelligence point of sales (i3 POS) - Google Patents

Abstract

Provided is an embedded internet, integration and intelligence point of sales (i3POS) that makes it exchange and integrate computer data between the headquarter and each branch. It makes the software and hardware combined together by using non-mechanical storage device (for example, disk on chip, disk on module, flash disk) of ""processing front end sales supply"" software and ""adjustable cycle data transmission"" software embedded POS computer hardware. It is able to handle, memorize and store backup data through internet without mechanical disk like hard disk. The embedded POS computer transmits data with adjustable cycle transmission model to handle and collect data and use virtual private network (VPN) and RSA for assuring the security of data exchange. In addition, the other information service model for multiple headquarters of this invention is to apply lease and information agent service model to chain and retail businesses.

3. Description of the invention (7) —) The data transmission mode of ι3 POγ-data transmission week "periodical f; the basic concept 5 of the 13pos mode is shown in Figure 3. The lean material transmission referred to in this smoke (302 in Fig. 3) can be divided into two pipes, one ^ (Dial-Πη ^ -fr ^ two dial-ups and the other is through a dedicated line. The dial-up type is It is suitable for retail stores. The embedded i3p0S computers in the past are directly connected to the 1SP (eg, HiNet, SeedNet, etc.) and then use the Internet transmission protocol to send data back to the host servo μ at the specified address. It is applicable to communities, department stores, or stores with multiple counters = locations. In the same area, the communication medium (network cable, cable, telephone line, or wireless network, etc.) is used to connect to the Internet and communicate with the host server. Figure 4 shows the data transmission mode of i3POS's dedicated line-type transmission media used in department stores and store-type franchise i show speakers. The data transmission mode is exclusively through the original telephone line system for data transmission. 3Dnc ^ Utilizing the computer program software system of the embedded iPOS computer hardware in the present invention: Adjustable periodical data transmission "money", after the two women at the front desk, software and hardware, the preset automatic connection can be modified.

(3) i3POS background data processing model. 303 in Figure 3 refers to the designated Internet location, that is, to provide rental and information processing services. : Host feeding,

Service host. During the month when the retail counters and chain stores in the retail chain are in operation, the data will be uploaded regularly to the designated address-type PPOS host server. The lock retail industry II used in the present invention is divided into two types of business models: 上 department store special counter services receive 囊 通道 silk transaction data loading there will be two transmission channels, the cargo counter road host, the main function can provide unified Yinluo * Hundred > information on sales transactions of malls, etc .; the other is passed to chain zero ;; service = retail sales service model of each barrel directly stores sales transactions = machines.

V. Description of the invention (9) Each chain retail industry can treat the back-end service host with the ^ ¥ ^ 一 ¥ level as the equipment that has the company's front desk information. In order to consider the security of the data and the requirements of the company's legitimacy, 9 and The method of protecting the transmission data between the various retail chains of the PPOS system and the head office in the present invention adopts a virtual private ": animal husbandry (VPiO framework 5-each company has its own database and data transmission wheel confidential transmission (Using the RSA dual key system), the i3P0S transmission wheel protection material related to the present invention is shown in Figure 6. In Figure 6, the i3P0s is embedded in the front desk and the computer sends data back to the service. When the host is hosted, it will filter the incorrect data source and data through the firewall first, and then use the intermediary system to automatically use the machine in the transmitted data ^ The code judges which company's front desk data belongs to it, and after decryption, it is stored in the company's database The background data service mode related to the i3P0S system of the present invention adopts the Xiongwen transmission. This is a combination of the RSA open gold loser and code security system, which is similar to the bank withdrawal ciphertext transmission mode. Each front-end information ( Instant Store information) is encrypted with its private key (Private Key) before transmission, and transmitted to the back office (head office) intermediary system program via the Internet ^, and then the public key (Publ) to Lugeqian a (branch) ic Key) decrypts and reads the data, and then saves it in a separate database of each company. The reverse is also the case, that is, the front desk needs the front desk date ^ The front desk's public key is used to encrypt the data, and the front desk receives the data and then secretly outputs it. Decryption. The security of the data stored in the database at each front desk is handled by the DBMS: Data Base Management System itself. Therefore, the security measures of the present invention include: RSA password security technology, firewall security mechanism and Three layers of control such as database security control to ensure service
