`Vending ntachines (or "automatic retailing," machines), in
`the broadest sense. have been around for thousands of years.
`The first sintple mechanical coin operated vending machines

`fmxen meals), as well as a wide variety of non-fbod itents.
`In this fast paced v orld, vending machines are ubiquitous
`Vending machines are one type of "payment accepting

`spccilically, a mobile-device-io-macluue paymeni process-
`ing system over a non-persistent network connection with
`hands-free mode and manual mode (sometimes also herein
`called "swipe** or "swipe-to-pay" mode)
`In some implementations. a ntethod of presenting repre-
`sentations of payment accepting unit events ls performed at
