Abstract (en)

The method involves mutually detecting the presence of each of two electronic payment terminals of a parking area using a detecting unit by emitting an electronic payment terminal presence control request and by waiting for a response for the control request. An absence information or potential absence alert is emitted using an emission unit, if one of the electronic payment terminals is not detected and in case of non response or invalid response of the electronic payment terminal. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for protecting an electronic payment terminal, on a parking area against the theft (2) a electronic payment terminal comprising a control unit (3) a computer program product comprising a set of instructions for performing a electronic payment terminal protecting method.
