  • Patent number: 12112378
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to increase the rate at which a system can accept and process data transaction request messages. The system includes a pre-processor that filters incoming data transaction request messages prior to transmitting the messages for further processing, for example, by a matching engine. The pre-processor quickly identifies whether a new arriving data transaction request is transactable. If the new arriving data transaction request is not transactable, then the data transaction request will be transmitted and stored in a main data structure and not transmitted to the matching engine.

  • Patent number: 12014351
    Abstract: A transaction is detected on a transaction terminal. A first code is presented on a display of the transaction terminal that is encoded with an identifier and a passcode for a wireless connection between the transaction terminal and a mobile device operated by a customer. The mobile device processes the code to wirelessly connect to the transaction terminal using the identifier and the passcode. A second code is presented on a display of the transaction terminal. The second code when captured by the mobile device causes a transaction interface to be remoted from the transaction terminal to the mobile device over the wireless connection. The transaction continues with interactions provided on the mobile device and processed on the transaction terminal without any customer touching of the display of the transaction terminal and without any customer touching of any keys or keypad of the transaction terminal.
