Intermediary communications over non-persistent network connections

The mobile device acts as a bridge, allowing an offline store machine to process transactions with a remote server. It obtains a unique request code from the store machine, relays it to the server, and then receives a special "grant token" back. When the user is ready, the mobile device sends this token to the store machine, enabling the purchase or service. The claims focus specifically on the mobile device's role in this process.

Why it matters: Filed before the full maturation of secure tokenization standards and robust mobile device APIs for short-range communication. These advancements now simplify building the secure, non-persistent bridge described.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, network integration
