  • Patent number: 9972002
    Abstract: The specification and drawing figures describe and illustrate a point-of-sale payment system. The point-of-sale payment system includes a mobile wireless communications instrument having at least one data processor. The data processor is capable of automatically selecting a payment instrument for transmitting a payment sum across a mobile wireless communications network and, if necessary, a credit network. The point-of-sale payment system may also include a data transmission subsystem for receipt, storage, processing, and transmittal of data across the wireless communications network and/or the data transmission subsystem.

  • Patent number: 9626821
    Abstract: The specification and drawing figures describe and show a system for making a payment across a point-of-sale device that includes at least one a payment instrument having financial data required to conduct a financial transaction across a credit network. The system also includes a mobile wireless instrument having a data processor operatively connectable to the point-of-sale device and to the payment instrument. At least one algorithm is provided for transmitting the financial data from the payment instrument to the data processor of the mobile wireless instrument, and for decrypting an encryption key, as well as transmitting an instruction from the mobile wireless instrument to the point-of-sale device to authorize the payment.
