  • Method and system for pausing, migrating, and restarting retail point-of-sale transactions
    Patent number: 8423414
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for managing transactions on point-of-sale terminals comprising a peer-to-peer network in a retail data processing system. A purchase transaction for a customer is initiated on a point-of-sale terminal in the system. Responsive to receiving a first input from a user of the point-of-sale terminal, the purchase transaction is suspended to form a suspended purchase transaction. Information about the customer is added to the suspended purchase transaction. The suspended purchase transaction is stored as a file on the point-of-sale terminal. Responsive to receiving a second input from the user of the point-of-sale terminal, a locally-stored list of suspended purchase transactions on the point-of-sale terminal is searched using the information about the customer.

  • Selection of status data from synchronous redundant devices
    Patent number: 7624336
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for selecting status data. Redundant views are obtained from multiple synchronous redundant devices. It is determined that the redundant views from the multiple synchronous redundant devices are conflicting. A redundant view score is calculated for each of the redundant views based on one or more characteristics from each of at least two characteristic types, wherein the characteristics are associated with weighted scores. One of the redundant views is selected based on the calculated redundant view score for each of the redundant views.
