Abstract
A contactless transaction terminal and method for interacting with a payment enabled mobile device to permit access to a location or to a service. The contactless transaction terminal includes a processor, a polling signal generator operably connected to the processor, an NFC circuit operably connected to the polling signal generator, and a receiver operably connected to the NFC circuit and to a data recovery circuit that is operably connected to the processor. Also included is a storage device operably connected to the processor. The storage device stores program instructions which when executed cause the processor to generate, via the polling signal generator, short-distance radio signals including at least three polling signals; emit, via the NFC circuit, the at least three polling signals at frequent intervals for detection by a payment-enabled mobile device; receive at least one of a Type A or Type B signal from the payment enabled mobile device; and permit access to at least one of a location or service.
