Patent ID: 8898076

Claim:
A system for processing transactions, comprising: a. at least one mobile device comprising: i. a housing having a processor, and a Wi-Fi communication module disposed therein; and b. a base station comprising; i. a base station housing, wherein the base station housing houses an embedded system comprising: 1. a processor; and 2. a Wi-Fi communication module configured to communicate with the Wi-Fi communication module of the at least one mobile device; ii. a support stand configured to support the at least one mobile device, wherein the support stand comprises at least one arm having an adjustable position and configured to move to adjust the size of the support stand based on a size of at least one mobile device; and c. at least one peripheral device connected to base station, wherein the base station further comprises a. a payment module configured to perform payment transactions; and b. a first Wi-Fi transportation application, which causes the processor of the base station to control the payment module and the Wi-Fi communication module of the base station; and c. wherein the at least one mobile device further comprises: i. a payment user interface configured to allow a user to perform payment transactions with the payment module; ii. a Point of Sale (POS) module configured to perform Point of Sale operations; iii. a second Wi-Fi transportation application, which causes the processor of the at least one mobile device to control the POS module and the Wi-Fi communication module of the at least one mobile device; and d. wherein the first Wi-Fi transportation application is configured to cause the processor of the base station to prevent the payment module and the Wi-Fi communication module of the base station from communicating with the POS module, the payment user interface and the Wi-Fi communication module of the at least one mobile device unless the second Wi-Fi transportation application has been authenticated by the first Wi-Fi transportation application; and e. wherein the second Wi-Fi transportation application is configured to cause the processor of the at least one mobile device to prevent the POS module, the payment user interface and the Wi-Fi communication module of the at least one mobile device from communicating with the payment module and Wi-Fi communication module of the base station unless the first Wi-Fi transportation application has been authenticated by the second Wi-Fi transportation application.
