Decoding systems with a decoding engine running on a mobile device and coupled to a payment system that includes identifying information of second parties qualified to conduct business with the payment system
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 a 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 a 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 the buyer and a merchant, so that the buyer does not have to share his/her financial transaction card information with the merchant; and
the transaction engine configured to receive a card reader ID circuitry from a card reader and transmit the card reader ID to a payment service.

Abstract
A decoding system with a decoding engine running on a mobile device The decoding engine decodes signals produced from a read of a buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card, accepts and initializes incoming signals from a read of a buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card until the signals reach a steady state, detects the read of the buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card once the incoming signals are in a steady stat, identifies peaks in the incoming signals and digitizes the identified peaks in the incoming signals into bits. A transaction engine runs on the mobile device and is coupled to the decoding engine. A payment system is in communication with the transaction engine and with a buyer'"'"'s financial transaction card institution or a first party'"'"'s financial account. The payment system includes identifying information of second parties qualified by the payment system to conduct business with the payment system.
