Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, a device and a terminal for restoring a firmware program, which pertains to the technical field of electronic devices. The method may be applied in a terminal having an activated first storage region storing a firmware program most recently executed by the terminal and an inactivated second storage region storing a back-up firmware program. The method may include: receiving a signal to restore a firmware program in the terminal; in response to the receiving of the signal to restore the firmware program, deactivating the first storage region and activating the second storage region; and loading in the terminal the back-up firmware program stored in the activated second storage region. The disclosure may solve a problem in the related art that a firmware program can be restored only by using a flash tool, and it may achieve an effect of restoring a firmware program with the use of a single key, and thus facilitate simpler operation of the terminal by the user.

Abstract: A method and system for processing a financial transaction using an enhanced payment card through a multi-party payment card interchange network are provided. An authorization request message generated at a point of sale (POS) device associated with a merchant is received at a computer associated with the interchange network. The authorization request message includes a card identifier and relates to a transaction initiated by the cardholder with the merchant using the enhanced payment card. The transaction is electronically identified as involving the enhanced payment card by matching the received card identifier to a list of card identifiers stored within a database. A product code identifying the transaction as an enhanced payment card transaction is electronically added to the authorization request message. The merchant is instructed to transmit to the interchange computer an addendum file including enhanced transaction data for the enhanced payment card transaction.
