Method for monitoring illegal relocation of POS (Point-of-Sale) terminal

Abstract

The invention provides a method for monitoring illegal relocation of a POS (Point-of-Sale) terminal. The method comprises the following steps that: 1. a POS machine records a time interval value TA from the moment that the dialing is accomplished to the moment that the linkage with a bank transaction platform is established successfully, and uploads the TA to the bank transaction platform through a transaction message; 2. the bank transaction platform receives and stores up the TA; 3. a relocation monitoring system compares the TA with a set reference time value TR, when the difference between the TA and the TR exceeds a preset threshold TH, the POS machine is judged as having illegal relocation, then the relocation monitoring system accounts the transaction situation of the POS machine at regular time so as to make an illegal relocation monitoring report blacklist; and 4. the POS machine is monitored through the monitoring report blacklist. By adoption of the method, probable illegal relocation of payment terminals such as the POS machine and the like can be monitored and found in time, and criminal activities such as that a criminal relocates the POS machine illegally to cash out and the like are prevented effectively.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of payment terminals, in particular to a method for monitoring the illegal relocation of a POS terminal by using a POS decoder. 【Background technique】 [0002] In recent years, criminal activities such as using POS machines and telephone POS to cash out through illegally relocated machines in different places have been increasing and rampant. Criminals use high-tech means, such as new technologies such as POS decoders, which cause difficulties in the supervision of relevant departments, and it is difficult for bank trading platforms to monitor in time through ordinary technical means, which in turn brings financial risks. POS decoder includes "POS machine decoder" and "dialer". The technique of using POS decoders to illegally transfer machines is: to connect the "dialer" at the front end of the POS machine, and transfer the number dialed by the POS machine to the "POS machine decoder" where the original a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This invention is a method designed to limit the use area of ​​electronic devices in physical locations, and the side of the bank trading platform cannot monitor and detect illegal relocation behaviors

The method of the invention needs to set a fixed terminal in the area where the electronic equipment is used, and set a mobile terminal in the electronic equipment. These two hardware devices are necessary equipment to realize the method of illegal mobile relocation, which greatly increases the cost of the implementation method. Complicated and not very practical

And the fixed end of this method is also equipped with a GPS module, so that it can communicate with the mobile end. Due to the limitation that the GPS module cannot receive signals indoors, this method must place the fixed end outdoors or near the window to work normally. Affects the practicality and user experience of the method
