Benefits of technology

This patent describes a versatile payment module system that can handle different types of mobile payments like credit cards, debit cards, and wireless tokens. It also has a secure mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive components during communication. Additionally, it uses encryption techniques to protect against potential security threats. Overall, this technology allows users to easily manage multiple electronic devices while maintaining their privacy.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes how mobile and fixed electronic devices have been developed over recent years. However, traditional methods of connecting these devices to other types of devices often involve expensive modifications and requires significant effort in order to work properly. Therefore, this patent proposes a solution where certain features of the mobile device's hardware are used instead of just being specific to each type of device.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]In various exemplary embodiments, the present invention provides universal payment module systems and methods for mobile or fixed computing devices that include a universal payment module and an associated adapter device for coupling the universal payment module to any of a plurality of mobile computing devices or fixed computing devices, such as wall mounted price checkers. The present invention utilizes a common payment module (e.g., card industry approved) which can interface multiple mobile computers with differing form factors via a snap-on sled. Advantageously, the present invention allows the leveraging of one payment module for many mobile computers. The single payment module includes various special payment security mechanisms via mechanical, electrical, and software mechanisms. The present invention enables design, standardization, and production of one single common, payment card industry approved, universal payment module for a plurality of mobile computer devices ins

Abstract

The present disclosure provides universal payment module systems and methods for mobile computing devices that include a universal payment module and an associated adapter device for coupling the universal payment module to any of a plurality of mobile computing devices. The present disclosure utilizes a common payment module which can interface multiple mobile computers with differing form factors via a snap-on sled. Advantageously, the present invention allows the leveraging of one payment module for many mobile computers. The single payment module includes various special payment security mechanisms via mechanical, electrical, and software mechanisms. The present disclosure enables design, standardization, and production of one single common, universal payment module for a plurality of mobile computer devices instead of one specific payment module for each form factor of the plurality of mobile computer devices.
