Abstract
A point-of-sale system used in transactions between a merchant and a consumer can have a merchant terminal and a consumer terminal. The merchant terminal can provide a merchant point-of-sale graphical user interface (GUI) to the merchant. The consumer terminal can display a plurality of screens on a touch screen display to a consumer during a point-of-sale transaction. A touch controller of the consumer terminal can receive user inputs entered in the touch screen display. The touch controller can selectively provide the received user inputs to one of the first processor or a second processor. The second processor can encrypt the user inputs received from the touch controller and send the encrypted user inputs to the first processor for transmission to a payment system.
