Problems solved by technology

At present, the upgrade and maintenance of POS terminals are mainly done by manually downloading from the serial port of the computer at the merchant site, that is, the maintenance personnel bring the computer with the upgrade program to the POS terminal site for manual download operation, which is a waste of manpower and material resources. Can not guarantee the timeliness of POS terminal program update
[0005] At present, in this technical field, there is a remote management system (Terminal Management System, referred to as TMS) that can remotely manage POS terminals. remote management, but the remote management system does not realize the process of mutual authentication between the management system and the POS terminal in the process of information interaction with the POS terminal, and the security is relatively low in a complex network environment, which brings difficulties for the normal use of the POS terminal. A certain degree of safety hazard
