US Patent:

7975912, Jul 12, 2011

Filed:

Dec 7, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/952708

Inventors:

Timothy Martin Weston - Cedar Park TX, US

Assignee:

Dresser, Inc. - Addison TX

International Classification:

G06K 5/00

US Classification:

235380, 235375, 235440

Abstract:

This disclosure provides for a method and system for operating a hybrid card reader that is operable to read magnetic stripe cards and that, upon the receipt of one or more signals, becomes operable to read integrated circuit cards. The hybrid card reader receives one or more signals from one or more remote devices. Such signals may be transmitted wirelessly or over one or more communication lines. When the one or more signals reach the hybrid card reader, they are used to enable a latching mechanism and an integrated circuit card reading function. This permits an integrated circuit card that is inserted into the hybrid card reader to be latched into place so that the data on the card can be read by the integrated circuit card reading function.

Appl. No.:

11/823646

Inventors:

Randal Scott Kretzler - Austin TX, US
Timothy Martin Weston - Cedar Park TX, US

Assignee:

Dresser, Inc. - Addison TX

International Classification:

H03K 17/94

US Classification:

341 22, 400488

Abstract:

A device for entering information securely in a customer transaction is described. The device may include a keypad comprising a set of full travel keys for transmitting a first set of data and a set of minimal travel keys for transmitting a second set of data. A subset of the full travel keys may be operable to receive numerical entries, and a subset of the minimal travel keys may be customized to perform one or more nonnumeric functions. A controller is connected to and receives data from one or more components of the keypad. The device may be used in a fuel dispenser system or another environment where a customer transaction occurs.

Filed:

Sep 27, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/862663

Inventors:

Timothy Martin Weston - Cedar Park TX, US
Weiming Tang - Round Rock TX, US

International Classification:

B67D 5/06
G06F 17/30
G06F 17/40
G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 73, 222192

Abstract:

Fuel dispensing transactions may be accomplished by a variety of systems and techniques. A fuel dispensing device may include a payment module, a data entry device, and a customer display. The payment module may receive a first communication from a point of sale device requesting an encrypted response and receive a second communication from the point of sale device requesting an unencrypted response. The module may match the first communication to a first corresponding library entry, match the second communication to a second corresponding library entry, determine a user response based on one of the first corresponding library entry or the second corresponding library entry, where the user response defines one of the encrypted response based on the first corresponding library entry or the unencrypted response based on the second corresponding library entry, and use the corresponding library entry to generate a visual customer display requesting the user response.

Appl. No.:

11/874807

Inventors:

Weiming TANG - Round Rock TX, US
Timothy Martin Weston - Cedar Park TX, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/14

US Classification:

380 45

Abstract:

This disclosure provides various embodiments of systems and methods for secure communications. In one aspect, the system includes a secure payment module (SPM) in a fuel dispenser and a point-of-sate (POS) system. The POS system stores a public key certificate uniquely identifying the SPM and is configured to dynamically generate a first session key. The POS system encrypts the first session key with a public key associated with the public key certificate, and transmits the encrypted first session key to the SPM. The SPM, which stores a private key associated with the public key certificate, is configured to receive and decrypt the first session key. The SPM is further configured to receive a set of magnetic card data from a card reader, encrypt the set of magnetic card data with the first session key, and transmit the encrypted set of magnetic card data to the POS system.

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 76, 705 64

Abstract:

This disclosure provides various embodiments of systems and methods for secure communications. In one aspect, the system for secure communications in a retail environment comprises a first display for presenting content to a customer, a first secure payment module comprising a first data entry device and a first secure processor, and a first controller. In some instances, the first controller is communicably coupled to the first display and the first secure payment module. Additionally, the first controller may be adapted to authenticate the first secure payment module, establish a secure communications link between the first controller and the first secure payment module, receive a first source of content, provide a portion of the content to the first display, and selectively enable or disable the first data entry device.

Inventors:

Timothy Martin Weston - Cedar Park TX, US
Weiming Tang - Austin TX, US
David Spiller - Cumming GA, US

Assignee:

Dresser, Inc. - Addison TX

International Classification:

G06F 21/06

US Classification:

726 27

Abstract:

A multimode system for receiving data in a retail environment includes: a secure input module for receiving high security input and low security input from a customer, the high security input to be communicated by the secure input module in cipher text, and the low security input to be communicated by the secure input module in plaintext. The multimode system is adapted to operate in a high security mode and a low security mode. The multimode system is adapted to enter the low security mode upon detection by the multimode system of a security breach condition. In the high security mode, the secure input module accepts low security input and high security input. In the low security mode, the secure input module accepts the low security input and does not accept the high security input.
