  • Publication number: 20170046685
    Abstract: A transaction processing apparatus sends to a transaction communication terminal an obtaining request for a screen that includes the input settlement information and prompts input of the settlement information corresponding to the subsequent input process. The transaction communication terminal receives the screen corresponding to the obtaining request from a settlement-side apparatus and sends the screen to the transaction processing apparatus, which prompts input of the settlement information on the screen. The transaction processing apparatus sends to the transaction communication terminal a settlement process request that includes the settlement information input in the last input process. The transaction communication terminal sends the settlement process request to the settlement-side apparatus and sends to the transaction processing apparatus a settlement completion notification that is sent from the settlement-side apparatus.
