Title: Systeme de transaction par carte de credit hybride
Inventor: SPEAR KEVIN W
IPC: G06Q20/10
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de transaction par carte de crédit hybride permettant de traiter les transactions soit comme des transactions de base virtuelles passant par une chambre de compensation, soit comme des transactions en boucle fermée virtuelles contournant la chambre de compensation. Ce système comprend un commerçant logique qui détecte des transactions à boucle fermée virtuelles et qui les dirigent vers une entité acquéreur affiliée, qui achète les transactions à boucle fermée virtuelles, et qui les achemine directement vers une entité émetteur de carte affiliée, de manière à contourner la chambre de compensation. L'entité émetteur de carte affiliée débite les transactions de base virtuelles d'un compte-carte, et les transactions à boucle fermée virtuelles d'un compte de la marque de distribution. Le commerçant logique, l'entité acquéreur associée et l'entité carte associée peuvent être affiliés par une participation à un site Internet qui encourage les transactions entre des petites entreprises et des commerçants vendant des biens de gros. Selon la présente invention, la réduction des frais de traitement renforcée lorsque la chambre de compensation est contournée encourage l'émission et l'utilisation des cartes de crédit hybrides.

Abstract: When an electronic component is recognized to be improper
and a CPU (40) detects that a "component recognition monitoring
navigation mode" is set for a component feeding unit
(3) feeding the component, the "component recognition monitoring
navigation mode" is activated to shift to an adjustment
mode and an operator decides whether or not the
picked-up component is to be discharged by visually examining
a component recognition image displayed on a CRT (55).
When the judgment of the component as improper is correct
upon the visual examination of the operator, the picked-up
component is discarded and a picking-up operation is repeated.
When the judgment is not correct, the component is
not discarded, the illuminating condition is adjusted for
the component and the component library data is corrected.
After this correction, if linked, a component recognition
test is executed and the library informing is performed.
