20100057612 | KIOSK BASED PURCHASING SYSTEM - A kiosk based purchasing system coupled by a network to a payment processor and fulfillment house. The system includes a plurality of kiosks coupled to one or more servers. Each of the kiosks has an embedded computing system configured to display information related to product offerings stored in its system memory to a customer without accessing the network. Customers input orders and related payment information into the kiosks. Each order identifies at least one product and includes a shipping address. Each kiosk transmits each order and related payment information to the servers. The servers transmit the payment information to the payment processor, which either approves or rejects the payment. If the payment is approved, the server transmits the order to the fulfillment house, which ships the products identified in the order to the shipping address. Kiosks may be transported to events, and configured to sell products related to those events. | 03-04-2010 |
