Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus are provided including a proximity payment device reader which includes a reader control program. A first process is executed upon receipt of an activation signal indicating the initiation of a transaction involving a proximity payment device with the reader, the first process causing at least a first signal to be transmitted to a second process, the second process causing the transmission of at least a second signal to the proximity payment device through a transceiver. In some embodiments, the processes may be executed to compare application data received from the payment device to data stored in a transaction log to determine if the proximity payment device was involved in an interrupted transaction. If the proximity payment device was involved in an interrupted transaction a signal is transmitted to the proximity payment device to attempt to retry the interrupted transaction.
