ABSTRACT
The
development caused by internet banking and electronic transactions has
contributed to facilitate various kinds of banking transactions to the
customers and reduce the time and effort spent by them.
Business
transactions can be
completed through POS,
but traditional POS is not available to regular customers but only for
merchants, it also contains a set of problems such as: the need for special equipment and
very expensive software.
This
research aims to solve some of the traditional POS problems and add new services to POS systems by developing a mobile
application using Android operating system to work as a dynamic POS system that offers electricity
purchasing service, pay fees for university students and cars insurance
services which it proceed the task without the need for bringing customer car
to the company building. Those services are available for both customers and
merchants. This application is attach to a system that simulates the
functionality of the SNS which is responsible for financial transactions
between banks and institutions.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The
world is changing with an amazing rate and the technology is considered to be
the key driver for these changes. Many activities are handled electronically
due to the acceptance of information technology at home as well as at workplace.
Slowly but steadily customers around the world are moving towards the internet
banking and electronic transactions are become
popular.
Financial
institutions can expose banking services via electronic channels including ATM,
POS, and Internet. As they want to offer their customers a secured and
around-the-clock access to electronic financial services anywhere and at any
time.
Merchants
accept payments via various types of cards using traditional POS terminals,
where the card is swiped to trigger a payment transaction with the acquiring
bank. Though; such POS terminals are complex to use. Nowadays merchant are
looking for new ways to manage transactions in a modernize way, and keep them
secure [1].
PROBLEM
One
of the main problems that POS device is composed of a set of internal
components connected with one another, when any of them is disrupted then the
entire device will not working correctly.
POS
software needs special equipment to work. And outfitting every POS solution
with peripheral devices is too expensive.
The
POS device is available only for the merchant, and Because of the complexity of
POS systems, users must receive extensive training on how to perform
transactions and operate the system, If a user enters incorrect information or
launches the wrong application, POS systems may become unpredictable or fail to
process transactions correctly.
OBJECTIVES
This
Research aim to achieve set of goals and they are:
·
Create
a dynamic POS application to provide new services not available in traditional POS.
·
The
POS Software can work in any device
that uses Android operating system.
·
Provide a more
user friendly interface, and therefore easier to use.
·
No more bulky
terminals and costly software.
·
Make POS
available to customers and merchants.
SCOPE:
This
research present simulation of SNS web service and application to work as a POS
system using android operating system as platform. It provides set of services
which is electricity purchasing, Pay university fees for university students
and car insurance. Also an application for insurance company administrator. Car insurance does not
cover the internal components.
METHODOLOGY
The
followed methodology at this project is firstly, installing Eclips and visual
studio ultimate 2012.
Eclipse
is used to create an android application that works as a POS system and
connected to through public network to a simulation of SNS web service
functionality. The simulation is done by using WCF service technique and SQL
server databases to handle payments and to be responsible for financial
transactions between banks and institutions.
In
order to complete the insurance for the car an application for the insurance
administrator has been developed using Android.
OBSTACLES:
The obstacles faced the progress of this research is:
·
Sudanese
Company for Electricity Distribution, general traffic administration and
insurance company databases were not available to connect with, Which led to use virtual databases for
each of them.
·
Not
able to connect with SNS, which let simulating the web service functionality.
·
Android
magnetic reader device was not available, This led to the user enters the card
number manually.
