Abstract
A decoding system with a decoding engine running on a tablet. 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 tablet 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.
