Decoding systems with a decoding engine running on a mobile device configured to be coupled and decoupled to a card reader with wake-up electronics
First Claim
1. A decoding system, comprising:
- a decoding engine running on a mobile device, the decoding engine in operation decoding signals produced from a read of a buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card, the decoding engine in operation accepting and initializing incoming signals from the read of the buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card until the signals reach a steady state, detecting the read of the buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card once the incoming signals are in the steady state, identifying peaks in the incoming signals and digitizing the identified peaks in the incoming signals into bits;
a transaction engine running on the mobile device and coupled to the decoding engine, the transaction engine in operation receiving as its input decoded buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card information from the decoding engine and serving as an intermediary between a buyer and a merchant, so that the buyer does not have to share his/her financial transaction card information with the merchant; and
one or more engines adapted to allow for an input of at least one of an input number, character and signatures to the mobile device.

Abstract
A decoding system has a decoding engine running on a mobile device. The decoding engine decodes signals produced from a read of a first party'"'"'s financial transaction card, accepts and initializes incoming signals from a read of a first party'"'"'s financial transaction card. A transaction engine runs on the mobile device and is coupled to the decoding engine. The transaction engine receives as its input decoded first party'"'"'s financial transaction card information from the decoding engine, and serves as an intermediary between the first party and a second party, so that the first party does not have to share his/her financial transaction card information with the second party. The decoding system is configured to be coupled and decoupled to a card reader with wake-up electronics.
