摘要:
A system, method and computer program product for processing promotions, including a universal product code (UPC) injection sub-system coupled between a UPC reader device and a point-of-sale (POS) device. The universal product code (UPC) injection sub-system including an interface device coupled between the UPC reader device and the POS device and incorporating an OR function to prevent disruption of an existing data stream between the POS device and the UPC reader device; and a controller device coupled to the interface device. The controller device via the interface device is configured to detect a UPC transmitted between the UPC reader and the POS device, block a UPC transmitted between the UPC reader and the POS device, and inject a UPC into the POS device. The POS device performs a POS function based on a received UPC from the controller device.

A system, method, and computer program for monitoring and corrupting a data stream, includes a data stream transmitting device having a barcode scanner that transmits a stream of data corresponding to a scanned barcode; a data stream receiver device having a barcode processing system that receives the stream; and a monitoring and corrupting device coupled therebetween having a database storing rules for detecting and corrupting patterns of data in the stream, and which monitors the stream, and based on the rules determines if the stream is unwanted, and if so corrupts the stream and transmits the corrupted stream to the barcode processing system so that the barcode data stream cannot be correctly received by the data stream receiver device. Otherwise, if the stream of data is wanted, the stream of data is allowed to be correctly received by the data stream receiver device.

A system, method, and computer program for using and detecting a signaling Universal Product Code (UPC), including a discount or marketing system; a UPC sniffer or injector; and a signal UPC configured to represent an end of a Point of Sale (POS) transaction. The UPC sniffer or injector configured to receive UPCs scanned from a POS UPC scanner and transmit the received UPCs to the discount or marketing system; the discount or marketing system configured to receive the UPCs from the UPC sniffer or injector, and to recognize the UPC as the signal UPC representing the end of the transaction, and issuing pending UPC injections; and the UPC sniffer or injector configured to receive UPC injections and to send the UPC injections to a POS system for inclusion in the transaction.
摘要:
A system, method and computer program product for promotions processing, including a point-of-sale (POS) device having a barcode scanner interface device; a user device having a wireless communications interface device; and a barcode inserter device having a wireless communications interface device. The barcode inserter device is configured to receive via the communications interface device of the barcode inserter device a barcode transmitted from the user device via the communications interface of the user device. The barcode inserter device is configured insert the received barcode into a transaction at the POS device via the barcode scanner interface device of the POS device.
