Wireless short range communication link transmission of line item data in real time

Abstract:

Methods for wireless payments using the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) protocol are provided. A first method includes establishing a wireless-short range communication link from a communication device to a peripheral device associated with an access device. The communication device receives item level data associated with an item being processed by the access device. The communication device displays the item level data associated with the item and transmits payment data to the access device. A second method includes establishing wireless-short range communication link to from a peripheral device associated with an access device to a communication device. The peripheral device transmits item level data associated with an item being processed by the access device, wherein the communication device displays the item level data associated with the item and receives payment data from the communication device.
