Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting multiple on-demand audio streams locally to web-enabled user devices. Primarily usable for local audio acquisition and instant redistribution in conference halls with translation booths and stadiums with commentators, the technology is scalable and can be tailored to suit any local acquisition and distribution of both digital and analog audio signals. The technology is reliant on the local network configuration and wireless coverage.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for validating transactions between a remote merchant system and an end-user terminal. In general, transaction information is received at a service provider regarding a transaction between the merchant system and an end user terminal, that includes transaction instructions on what actions need to be performed by the end user terminal in order for the merchant system to complete the transaction. The service provider generates a token ID that does not include a transaction identification nor a merchant system identification, but is linked to stored transaction instructions. The token ID is received from a remote point-of-sale (POS) terminal with presentment information that is validated against the transaction instructions to complete the transaction.
