    Abstract: Dans un environnement de vente, pour présenter d'une manière interactive à un client des informations sur un produit, un dispositif de signalétique dynamique (312a, 312b), par exemple une tablette numérique, est associé au produit, notamment sur la base d'une localisation du dispositif et/ou du produit. Le dispositif peut vérifier automatiquement l'existence d'informations produit mises à jour et modifier son affichage en fonction de ces informations. La gestion de plusieurs dispositifs de signalétique dynamique peut être coordonnée au niveau d'un magasin (310a, 310b) ou de plusieurs magasins (302), et un système de création de plan d'implantation interactif (304) permet de changer aisément les associations entre produits et dispositifs de signalétique.

    Abstract: Customers can use their own mobile devices to pay for products in a "self- service" transaction, without the assistance of a store employee and without the need for the store to provide a self-service checkout kiosk. The customer's device communicates with a server maintained by the store to identify the product(s) being purchased and to provide a digital credential that the server can use to look up financial account information for the customer. The server can process a payment transaction to the financial account and notify the customer's device of the result. In some cases, an employee device can provide product identification for a purchase to the server and associate the customer device with the purchase, allowing the customer to complete the transaction directly with the store server.
