Patent number: 11967214Abstract: A multimode system for receiving data in a retail environment includes: a secure input module for receiving high security input and low security input from a customer, the high security input to be communicated by the secure input module in cipher text, and the low security input to be communicated by the secure input module in plaintext. The multimode system is adapted to operate in a high security mode and a low security mode. The multimode system is adapted to enter the low security mode upon detection by the multimode system of a security breach condition. In the high security mode, the secure input module accepts low security input and high security input. In the low security mode, the secure input module accepts the low security input and does not accept the high security input.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Wayne Fueling Systems LLCInventors: Timothy M. Weston, Weiming Tang, David Spiller

Publication number: 20090119221Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments of systems and methods for secure communications. In one aspect, the system for secure communications in a retail environment comprises a first display for presenting content to a customer, a first secure payment module comprising a first data entry device and a first secure processor, and a first controller. In some instances, the first controller is communicably coupled to the first display and the first secure payment module. Additionally, the first controller may be adapted to authenticate the first secure payment module, establish a secure communications link between the first controller and the first secure payment module, receive a first source of content, provide a portion of the content to the first display, and selectively enable or disable the first data entry device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2007Publication date: May 7, 2009Inventors: Timothy Martin WESTON, David SPILLER
