Abstract:
A Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal in a retail environment is communicatively connected to one or more POS peripheral devices. Each POS peripheral device is associated with a configuration file that defines configuration settings for the POS peripheral device and environmental context information for the POS terminal and the POS controller. The configuration files are prioritized according to various criteria, and used to re-configure POS applications executing on the POS to operate optimally with the particular POS peripheral device. Additionally, the prioritized configuration files control the POS applications to update the configuration information.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method comprising:\n generating, at a Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal, a key for a POS peripheral device responsive to detecting a predetermined trigger event; obtaining a configuration file for the POS peripheral device based on the key, wherein the configuration file comprises configuration data defining configuration settings for the POS peripheral device and environmental context information for the POS terminal; assigning a priority level to the configuration file based on a comparative analysis of the configuration data in the configuration file to configuration information stored in a cache at the POS terminal; and configuring a POS application program executing at the POS terminal with the configuration data in the configuration file, wherein the configuration data controls the POS application to update the configuration of the POS application program for the POS peripheral device based on the priority level.
