10. A method, comprising:
-
connecting, at a transaction device, to a mobile device, wherein connecting further includes operating the mobile device by a technician that is interacting with the transaction device through the mobile device over a connection between the transaction device and the mobile device, wherein connecting further includes scanning, by the mobile device, a Quick Response (QR) code having a transaction identifier for the transaction device, and automatically providing, by the mobile device, the transaction identifier to a remote server service and receiving, by the mobile device, an automated mechanism, and automatically processing, by the mobile device, the automated mechanism that establishes the connection between the mobile device and the transaction device; and processing, by the transaction device, a request from the mobile device permitting the mobile device through the request to service at least one physical resource connected to the transaction device and obtaining by the transaction device a wide area network connection through the mobile device when the wide area network connection was unavailable to the transaction device but for the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a server having a remote server service programmed as executable instructions within a non-transitory computer-readable memory and the executable instructions of the remote server service executed from the non-transitory computer-readable memory by one or more processors of the server; wherein the remote server service when executed interacts with a transaction device via a network connection supplied by a mobile device acting as a conduit between the remote server service and the transaction device, and wherein the transaction device lacks wide-area network connectivity but for the conduit provided by the mobile device using the network connection, and wherein the remote server service receives from the mobile device a transaction identifier for the transaction device, wherein the mobile device scans a Quick Response (QR) code for obtaining the transaction identifier, and the mobile device automatically provides the transaction identifier to the remote server service, the remote server service provides back to the mobile device an automated mechanism and the mobile device automatically processes the automated mechanism to establish a connection between the mobile device and the transaction device. - View Dependent Claims (17)
