Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9912116A1] Transactions are facilitated by the use of automation and communications. Transactions are partly defined by the use of a data capture unit (100) allowing a user to simply and easily define a subject of a transaction. The data capture unit (100) may be a bar code reader which, when swept across a selected bar coded field (105) will capture and store the selected data. The captured data and associated unit identification information is transmitted to a remote processing center or facilitator unit (20) in a semi-automated fashion by docking the data capture unit (100) with a data forwarding unit (200). At the remote processing center (20) the identification information allows authentication and also is used as a pointer to additional important information on the user. The additional information is combined with at least part of the data transmitted to the remote processing center (20) in order to complete the definition of a particular transaction.
