Abstract

See full text

A POS system includes a device broker server that is shared by multiple client devices in the POS system. The device broker server manages POS devices (e.g. cash drawer, bar code scanner, receipt printer, card reader, etc.) and device-related business functions (e.g. payment handling, receipt printing, scanning, etc.). A discovery mechanism enables the client devices to discover the device broker server. The client devices may select a device broker and send service requests to the selected device broker server. The device broker server controls the POS devices to provide the requested service and sends response messages to the client devices indicating the results of the services provided by the device broker utilizing the POS devices.
