摘要:
A system for providing distributed control to process transactions is disclosed. The system includes a service provider system having associated therewith a number of rules and a number of meta-rules, a point of service device having associated therewith a number of rules and a number of meta-rules, and a portable device having associated therewith a number of rules and a number of meta-rules. The portable device uses its associated rules to determine an outcome for a transaction. If the portable device is unable to determine the outcome for the transaction, the portable device uses its associated meta-rules to either determine whether one or more of its associated rules can be altered locally in order to determine the outcome or request the point of service device to help determine the outcome using the rules and meta-rules associated with the point of service device. If the point of service device is unable to determine the outcome using its associated rules, the point of service device uses its associated meta-rules to either determine whether one or more of its associated rules can be altered locally in order to determine the outcome or request the service provider system to help determine the outcome using the rules and meta-rules associated with the service provider system.

摘要:
A system for providing distributed control to process transactions is disclosed, including a service provider system, a point of service device, and a portable device. The service provider system, point of service (POS) device, and portable device each have a plurality of rules and a number of meta-rules. The portable device is used with the POS device to conduct a transaction. If the portable device is unable to determine the outcome for the transaction, the portable device determines whether its rules may be altered locally to determine the outcome, or request the POS device to help determine the outcome. If the POS device is unable to determine the outcome, the POS device determines whether its rules can be altered locally in order to determine the outcome, or request the service provider system to help determine the outcome using the rules and meta-rules associated with the service provider system.

Techniques for providing a plurality of incentives for a product during a loyalty transaction are provided. A group of eligible incentives for a product are determined and one or more of the eligible incentives are selected and applied to the loyalty transaction. The techniques include determining a plurality of incentives that are eligible for application to the transaction, the eligibility based on at least one product; determining one or more incentives from the plurality of incentives to apply to the transaction; and applying the determined one or more incentives to the transaction.

A method for generating a terms and conditions (T&C) statement for a transaction is disclosed. The method includes: using a portable device to conduct the transaction, the portable device having portable device information; determining if a terms and conditions statement is needed for the transaction based on the portable device information; dynamically generating the terms and conditions statement for the transaction; and outputting the generated terms and conditions statement.

A method for providing messaging between a portable device and base device is provided. The method includes communicating one or more message codes maintained in the portable device to the base device. The base device then composes a message for a user of the portable device using a dictionary of message codes. The message codes have corresponding message values, which are used to generate the message for the one or more message codes. The generated message is then provided to the user.
