System and method for remotely and intelligently managing point-of-sale (POS) terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for remotely and intelligently managing a point-of-sale (POS) terminal. The system comprises a card-swiping terminal, a customer terminal, a data processing device and a file transfer protocol (FTP) server. The method comprises the following steps of: after the card-swiping terminal is driven by the customer terminal, sending parameters of the card-swiping terminal to the customer terminal; sending the parameters to the data processing device; judging whether version parameters accord with the parameters of the card-swiping terminal, and if the version parameters do not accord with the parameters of the card-swiping terminal, sending updated parameters to the customer terminal; downloading a program of the card-swiping terminal by using the FTP server according to the updated parameters; and upgrading the program of the card-swiping terminal and / or changing the parameters of the card-swiping terminal. By the invention, on-site manual update is avoided, and manpower resources, material resources and time are greatly saved; moreover, by upgrading the program of the card-swiping terminal and / or changing the parameters of the card-swiping terminal by using the customer terminal, complicated remote control of hardware and the card-swiping terminal having a simple function can be realized. The system and the method for remotely and intelligently managing the POS terminal can be widely applied to the financial industry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a program management system and method of a financial card swiping terminal, in particular to a remote intelligent management system and method of a POS terminal. Background technique [0002] The current POS terminal program is installed on the POS terminal, and the ordinary update of the POS program requires the staff to come to maintain and install it, which consumes time, manpower and material resources. The traditional communication methods of POS terminals mainly include telephone line dial-up and wireless network. At present, some systems can remotely update the POS program through telephone line dial-up or wireless. It is easy to be interrupted or missing; on the other hand, the update of the program is purely interactive through the POS terminal. Since the hardware and functions of the POS terminal are relatively simple, more complex remote control cannot be realized, so the update function is very simple and cannot b...
