  • Publication number: 20210044654
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a network cache of device input for redundancy during device inoperability. A device may detect that the device is in danger of failure, for example, if a battery is low on the device, the device is damaged, or the device may lose network connectivity. On detection of such a condition, the device may request that a server that performs electronic transaction processing establish or trigger a mode that allows for caching of transaction data as input for the transaction data is entered to a device, which may be done by sending signaling to the server indicating the condition that affects the device's operability. The server may then cache input for the transaction data. If the device fails prior to approving and completing electronic transaction processing, the server may use the cached data to generate a digital ledger for another entity.

  • Publication number: 20200210997
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for parent level token issuance for asynchronous data processing based on device trust levels. Two devices may interact enough that they develop a trust rating between the two devices that the devices are trusted for transaction processing and resolution. In order to provide asynchronous transaction processing without requiring a token service provider or transaction processor, a parent level token may be issued to the devices by a token service provider based on the trust rating. The devices may receive child level tokens from the parent token, while the parent token is stored by the transaction processor. The child level tokens may allow the devices and transaction processor to trust the devices to process and resolve transaction processing without availing the token service provider for token issuance.
