`transaction by depressing the start key of WCD 120 when the user
`(carrying WCD 120) is within a wireless communication range of
`
`parking meter 115. In response, WCD 120 requests parking meter
`specific information from parking meter 115. Parking meter 115
`
`responds with an exemplary message:
`
`METER202398981:
`
`THIS METER COSTS$0.25 an hour, PAY?
`
`This message, once received by WCD 120,is displayed to
`
`user 105 via the WCD display device. User 105 responds by
`depressing a WCD key indicating "YES ", the user wishes to pay
`for an hour of parking.
`In response to the "YES" key being
`
`depressed, WCD 120 transmits an encrypted request to ESP 125
`for approval to transfer $0.25 from user bank account 110 to the
`parking meter. Assuming a bank account balance of greater than
`$0.25 in bank account 110, bank facility 135 approves the transfer,
`and in turn, ESP 125 transmits an encrypted approval message to
`
`WCD 120. After receiving the approval message, WCD 120
`transmits a message including a $0.25 monetary transfer to
`parking meter 115 to complete the transaction and to pay for one
`hour of parking. After the transaction is complete, ESP 125
`reestablishes communication with facility 135 to thereby debit
`bank account 110 by §.25.

`In the following exemplary “restaurant-based” e-commerce
`transaction, POT terminal 115 resides in a restaurant and stores
`restaurant specific information such as a food and beverage meriu
`with associated prices.
`In this example, user 105 again initiates
`the e-commerce transaction by depressing the start key of WCD
`120 when in communication range of POT terminal 115.
`In
`response to the request transmitted by WCD 120, restaurant POT
`terminal 115 transmits a response message to the WCD 120. The
`response message includes the food and beverage menu and
`associated prices. This information is displayed to user 105 at

`
`WCD 120. User 105 selects desired items from the displayed
`
`menu via input device 123 ofWCD 120. WCD 120 automatically
`
`calculates a total cost of the selected items (including a designated
`tip if the user so desires), and transmits an encrypted message to
`
`ESP computer 125 for approval of this total cost amount.
`
`If ESP
`
`computer 120 approves the transaction, WCD 120 transmits an
`
`electronic payment to POT terminal 115 at the restaurant.
`
`The e-commerce transactions described above each involve
`an electronic transfer of assets, such as money, from WCD 120 to
`POT terminal 115 at the POT. However, it should be appreciated
`that POT terminal 115 can be a second WCD, whereby assets are
`transferred electronically from WCD 120 to the second WCD.
`PIG. 6 is a block diagram of an arrangement 600 for such an
`electronic transfer of assets from WCD 120 to a WCD 605.
`
`Arrangement 600 is similar to the arrangement described in
`connection with system 100, except WCD 605 replaces POT
`terminal 115. Arrangernent 600 also includes ESP computer 610
`and an e-commerce facility 612, for supporting an e-commerce
`transaction effected using WCD 605. A user 615 ownsassets in an
`asset account 620 held by e-commercefacility 612. WCD 605, ESP
`610 and e-commerce facility 612 inter-communicate in the same
`manner that WCD 120, ESP 125, and e-commerce facility 135 inter-
`communicate.
`|
`In arrangement 600, user 615 can initiate and control an
`electronic transfer of assets from asset account 620 to asset account
`
`110 using WCD 605. An exemplary transfer, wherein asset
`accounts 620 and 110 are bank accounts, includes the electronic
`
`transfer of money from bank account 620 to bank account 110, as
`now described. When user 615 initiates such a transaction at
`
`In
`WCD 605, WCD 605 transmits an initial request to WCD 120.
`response, e-commerce server application 325 of WCD 120 (see
`FIG. 3) generates a response message identifying WCD 120. Next,

`
`at WCD 605, user 615 enters a dollar amount that is to be
`
`transferred from account 620 to account 110. Next a transfer of
`
`this amount is verified/validated by ESP 610 and e-commerce
`
`facility 612 in the same manner as described above in connection
`
`with FIG, 4. After such validation, WCD 605 transmits a message
`to WCD 120 electronically transferring the entered dollar amount
`
`to WCD 120. Finally, the account balances of asset accounts 620
`
`and 110 are respectively debited and credited by the dollar
`
`amount
`
`transferred between the accounts
`
`to reflect
`
`the e-
`
`commerce transaction.
`
`FIG. 7 is a block diagram of another arrangement 700 of the
`
`present invention for effecting an e-commerce transaction using a
`WCD 705 capable of scanning a merchandise bar code associated
`
`with a merchandise item 710. WCD 705 is interconnected with an
`
`ESP computer and bank facility as described above, but not shown
`in PUG. 7. The first wireless interface of WCD 705,that is, the short
`range wireless interface, includes a known bar code reader 715.
`Bar code reader 715 is any known bar code reader capable of
`reading or scanning a bar code 720, such as a UPC label,
`associated with merchandise item 710. When the user of WCD
`
`705 scans UPC label 720 with reader 715, WCD 705 acquires a
`purchase price and an identification code corresponding ‘to
`merchandise item 710, and stores this information to a memory
`buffer of WCD 705. As the user scans additional merchandise
`items while shopping, WCD 705 accumulates a total purchase
`price in, and adds additional identification codes to, the memory
`buffer. When the user is done shopping and wishesto pay for the
`scarmed items,
`the user carries WCD 705 to a POT terminal
`
`capable of receiving an electronic transfer of money from WCD
`705. The user then initiates a payment process as described in
`cormection with FIG. 4 to pay for the scanned merchandise items
`at the POT terminal.

`
`In the exemplary e-commerce transactions described above,
`asset account 110 is a bank account holding money, and moneyis
`electronically transferred to/from the bank account. However,
`asset account 110 can hold other, electronically transferrable, non-
`monetary assets.
`For example, asset account 110 can hold
`electronic coupons, credit points or bonus points cumulatively
`earned whenever user 105 makes a purchase either in accordance
`with the present invention, or that is not necessarily in accordance
`with the present invention. Such coupons, credit points or bonus
`points can then be applied to subsequent purchases made in
`accordance with the present invention, wherein the non-monetary
`assets are electronically transferred to a POT terminal, instead of
`money. Also, these non-monetary assets can be held in a second
`or third asset account owned by user 105 in addition fo asset
`
`account 110. Asset account 110 can also be a credit account, such
`
`to the POT
`as a credit card account, for transferring credit
`terminal in the e-commerce transaction, thereby obviating the
`
`need for a credit card in a credit transaction.
`
`FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an embodiment of WCD 120.
`WCD 120 has a compact, hand-held form factor similar to that of a
`personal digital assistant or cellular telephone. The functionality
`of WCD 120 can be integrated with the functionality of a wireless

`802 for storing information and instructions.
`WCD 120 includes display 124, such as a flat panel display,
`for displaying information to a user. Display 124 is coupled to
`bus 802.
`Input device 123, including alphanumeric and other
`keys, is coupled to bus 802 for communicating information and
`commandselections to the processor 804. Another type of user
`input device is a cursor control 816, such as a mouse, a trackball,
`or cursor direction keys for communicating direction information
`and command selections to processor 804 and for controlling
`cursor movernent on display 124.
`
`Initiation and control of the e-commerce transaction is
`
`provided by WCD 120 in response to processor 604 executing
`sequences of instructions contained in main memory 806. Such
`instructions may be read into main memory 806 from another
`computer-readable medium, such as a storage device 810.
`Execution of the sequences of instructions contained in the main
`
`memory 806 causes the processor 804 to perform the process steps
`described above in connection with FIG. 4 and the exemplary e-
`commerce
`transactions
`described
`above.

`communication I/F including any required data communication
`protocols. To support alternative arrangement 700 described in
`connection with FIG. 7, communication I/F 820 can optionally
`
`include a known bar code reader.
`
`In the present invention, wireless communication I/F 820
`supports digital data packet exchanges between WCD 120 and
`POTterminal 115, and as such, can be implemented in accordance
`with
`exemplary
`specifications
`for
`short-range wireless

`Association
`(IrDA)
`specifications,
`or
`any
`other
`suitable
`specification, so long as a compact comrmumication [/F 820 can
`comply with the specification requirements.
`Bluetooth is a
`proposed radio frequency (RF) specification for short-range,
`point-to-multipoint data transfer. Bluetooth radio links, operating
`in the 2.4 gigahertz Industrial-Scientific-Medical (ISM) frequency
`band, have a nominal communication range between 10
`
`centimeters and 10 meters. However, this nominal range can be
`extended to 100 meters by increasing the transmit power of a
`Bluetooth transmitter in communication I/F 820.
`The IrDA
`
`specification provides for wireless data exchanges using a short-
`range infrared wireless link. Accordingly, a typical distance
`between WCD 120 and POT terminal 115 during an e-commerce
`transaction is ten meters or less, unless an extended range
`
`transmitter is used in each device.
