Abstract: A method and device for retrofitting a machine controller to accommodate one or more electronic peripheral devices is disclosed herein. A device with processor(s), memory, a slave interface, and host interface(s) performs as a virtual peripheral by registering itself as a slave to the machine controller coupled with the slave interface and performs as a virtual machine controller by registering peripheral(s) coupled with the host interface(s) as slaves to the device. The device receives a command from the machine controller via the slave interface and, in response to receiving the command: sends an acknowledgement to the machine controller via the slave interface; and relays the command to a respective peripheral via a respective one of the host interface(s), where the device sends signals to and from the machine controller asynchronous of sending signals to and from the peripheral(s).

Abstract: A payment module with one or more processors, memory, and a first communication capability is coupled with a payment accepting unit (e.g., an automatic retailing machine for dispensing goods and/or services). The payment module obtains a notification indicating completion of a transaction, and an amount thereof, performed by user of a device at the payment accepting unit. In response to receiving the notification, the payment module generates and stores transaction information based on the notification; and sends the transaction information to the device via the first communication capability (e.g., BLE). After sending the transaction information to the device, the payment module: deletes the stored transaction information if acknowledgement information is received from the device within a predetermined time period; and maintains the stored transaction information if the acknowledgement information is not received from the device within the predetermined time period.

Abstract: A first device with one or more processors, processors, memory, and two or more communication capabilities obtains, from a payment module, advertised information via a first communication capability (e.g., BLE), where the advertised information at least includes a current firmware version of the payment module. In accordance with a determination that the current firmware version of the payment module satisfies one or more predefined firmware criteria (i.e., indicating that the payment module's firmware needs updating), the first device includes sends, to the payment module, firmware update information via the first communication capability, where the firmware update information includes one or more data packets for updating the current firmware version of the payment module.
