Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for use in facilitating transactions between transaction devices and points of interactions. In connection therewith, one transaction device generally includes an input and an output for communicating with a point of interaction with regard to a transaction by a consumer at the point of interaction involving the transaction device. The transaction device also includes a processor in communication with the input and the output. The processor is configured to interact with the point of interaction in connection with the transaction, store transaction data relating to the transaction in a data store during the course of the transaction, and, in response to an interruption in the transaction with the point of interaction, retrieve transaction data stored in the data store in order to resume the transaction with the point of interaction when communication with the point of interaction is restored.
