First Claim
Patent Images
1. A transaction data capture system comprising:
- a data capture interface;
a portable data capture module (herein, the “
PDCM”
) comprising a memory; and
a data transfer interface,wherein the data capture interface is linked to the PDCM and is adapted for;
connecting to an electronic transaction device;
receiving transaction data from the electronic transaction device;
translating the transaction data into a format readable by the transfer interface; and
storing the transaction data in the memory of the PDCM; and
wherein the transfer interface is linked to the PDCM and is adapted for;
connecting to a computing device;
receiving a transfer command from a computing device;
processing the transaction data for transfer to the computing device in response to the transfer command; and
transferring the transaction data from the memory of the PDCM to the computing device.

Abstract
A transaction data capture system comprises a data capture interface, a portable data capture module (herein, the “PDCM”), and a data transfer interface. Transaction data from an electronic transaction device that would normally be directed to a paper printer is sent to the data capture interface and written to the PDCM. A data transfer interface formats the captured and stored transaction data for import into a software application operating on a computing device. The software application is selectable by a user of the computing device.

17. A method of capturing transaction data from an electronic transaction device comprising:
-
receiving transaction data from the electronic transaction device at a data capture interface; translating the transaction data into a format readable by a data transfer interface; storing the transaction data in a memory of a portable data capture module; receiving a transfer command from a computing device; processing the transaction data at the data transfer interface for transfer to the computing device in response to the transfer command; and transferring the processed transaction data from the memory of the PDCM to the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
