17. A method for updating a catalog of assets on a device for facilitating electronic transactions, the method comprising:
-
requesting an update of the catalog on the device from a network;
identifying changes made since a previous catalog update;
comparing a last update date and time for the catalog on the device to a list of changes made to a catalog on the network to determine items that need to be provided to the device in the update;
downloading from the network to the device only the items; and
updating the catalog on the device with the items. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
