`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,286,875
`
`1. An apparatus for effecting commercial
`transactions between an input device and a
`remote transaction server using a transaction
`card, said apparatus comprising:
`an input device for capturing information
`from the transaction card;
`a controller for converting the captured
`card information into a signal having an
`analog audio format suitable for transmission
`to an analog hands-free jack of a mobile
`communication device; and
`a communication link for coupling said
`input device to an analog hands-free jack of a
`mobile communication device for the
`transmission of said analog-audio-format
`signals therebetween;
`wherein when said input device captures
`the card information, said controller converts
`the card information into said analog-audio-
`format signal and transmits said converted
`signal via said communication link to said
`mobile communication device; and
`wherein said mobile communication
`device automatically transmits the captured
`card information to the remote transaction
`server and receives transaction validation
`information from said remote transaction
`server.
