Abstract

See full text

An apparatus useful in facilitating commercial transaction payments as a secured electronic payment terminal and a thin keyboard cover. The keyboard cover is adjustably attached to the electronic payment terminal so that the keyboard cover can alternatively serve to cover the keyboard or to swing away from the keyboard to provide a security panel. The keyboard cover is 'active,' in that it incorporates a data communicator for transmitting or receiving data from an outside source. In one embodiment, the data communicator includes a signature pad. The keyboard cover is removable from the electronic payment terminal for maintenance and/or replacement without having to access the internals of the electronic payment terminal, including its electronic circuitry.
