Systems and methods for data transfer in distributed environments

Abstract:

Described in detail herein are systems and methods for data transfer in a distributed environment. A terminal can display a terminal machine-readable element encoded with a terminal identifier associated with the terminal. The terminal can subscribe to a named logical channel to listen for information to be published in the at least one named logical channel. The mobile device can store in memory, information associated with each of the physical objects. The mobile device can scan the terminal machine-readable element rendered on the display of the at least one terminal. The mobile device can transfer the information associated with each of the physical objects, stored in the memory, and terminal identifier encoded in the terminal machine-readable element to the local computing system. The local computing system can publish a message including the information associated with each of the physical objects on the named logical channel.
