Abstract:
1. Apparatus comprising: a dock body defining: a contactless communication interface supported by the dock body and positioned below the first recess to maximize the strength of communications with the antenna of the contactless communication interface of the proximity payment device; a wireless communication interface supported by the dock body and positioned below the second recess to maximize the strength of communications with the antenna of the wireless communication interface of the second device; a polling antenna supported by the dock body comprising an antenna that detects when the proximity payment device is within range of the contactless communication interface and when the second device is within range of the wireless communication interface; and a controller supported by the dock body and operably connected to the polling antenna and operable to selectively couple the contactless communication interface with the wireless communication interface when the proximity payment device is seated in the first seat and the second device is seated in the second seat to allow transmission of said at least first risk parameter to said remote processing entity through said second device.
