A money transfer system using a money transfer instrument purchased at a retail location The system includes a POS terminal for entering a UPC code carried on the instrument. The POS terminal issues a PIN (132) in response to the UPC code, with the PIN (132) uses the PIN (132) to obtain a money transfer control number (MTCN)(134) associated with a record of the transfer transaction from a money transfer host.
摘要:
An information management and entertainment system (1) comprises user terminals (2), and a switching system (5, 40-43) having interfaces (21, 23, 31) for receiving media streams and for routing the streams to the terminals. The system (1) comprises at least one management server (15) for routing control signals to components of the system. The server (15) and the terminals (2) execute a middleware engine (65, 70) for communication within the system. The middleware engine comprises a services processor (65) executing on a server (15) and functions executing on the terminals (2) for controlling provision of information management and entertainment services to users via the terminals (2). The system further comprises at least one vending machine (16) for vending user cards for usage of services. The vending machine (16) writes a unique user identifier to each card, each terminal comprises a card reader, and the terminal (2) middleware functions receive and validate a card and allow provision of services upon validation of a card. The terminal middleware functions allow provision of services up to a limit set by a credit amount read from a card. The vending machine (16) writes the user identifier comprising a component having a card factory-set identifier and a component freshly-generated upon issuance of the card. The freshly- generated component is a value which is incremented from a previous value, and said value is not used again by the system.
摘要:
The present invention is generally directed to a system for manufacturing a data card assembly, comprising: a data card (60) comprising a special number (65), wherein the special number is associated with a particular data card account; a package (10); an activation number generator, for generating activation numbers; a reader, for reading the special number; and a recorder, for recording activation information on the package. Some embodiments of the present invention may further comprise a network for conveying the association between the activation information and the special number including to an intermediary managing the data card accounts. Some embodiments of the present invention may further entail generating a special number associated with a particular data card account; and generating activation information associated with a particular special number.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a system for charging and/or recharging chip cards (12) that have been introduced into mobile radio devices (11) with a credit balance for a sum of money at a collection terminal (30). According to said method and system, the sum of money is credited to the user (11) by means of a value code and/or credit note procedure via a central processing unit (20). The invention relates in particular to a method and a system for charging and recharging SIM cards (12) that have been inserted into mobile radio devices (11). During the credit note procedure, the central processing unit (20) charges the credit balance directly to the chip card (12) of the mobile radio device (11), said card having been assigned to a telephone number, whereas in the value code procedure, the user (10) at the collection terminal (30) receives a value code (50), which he or she uses to charge or recharge a chip card (12) of a mobile radio device (11). The collection terminal (30) can in particular be integrated into ticket machines of a public transport network, or into the terminals of a telecommunications company which are accessible to the public.
