PAYMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354606 titled 'PAYMENT DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a payment device that is operated by a customer to make a payment for a transaction, with transaction data generated by a registration device operated by a store clerk. The payment device includes a sensor that detects motion when enabled, and a processor that enables the sensor upon receipt of a notification that the transaction data has been generated. When motion is detected while the payment is pending, the processor acquires the transaction data generated by the registration device and performs a payment process using the acquired data.
- Sensor detects motion when enabled
- Processor acquires transaction data upon motion detection
- Payment process is performed using acquired transaction data
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as retail, hospitality, and transportation for secure and efficient payment processing.

The patent application does not specify how the sensor distinguishes between intentional and unintentional motion during the payment process.
What measures are in place to protect the acquired transaction data?
The patent application does not detail the security measures implemented to safeguard the acquired transaction data during the payment process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A payment device is to be operated by a customer to make payment for a transaction. Transaction data for the transaction is generated by a registration device operated by a store clerk. The payment device includes a sensor configured to detect motion when enabled, and a processor configured to enable the sensor upon receipt of a notification that the transaction data has been generated, in response to the motion being detected by the sensor while the payment is pending, acquire the transaction data generated by the registration device, and perform a payment process using the acquired transaction data.
