BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
University of Cantabria Smart Card provides an WG10 electronic purse, which can be use as a replacement of cash in purchases that involves small amount of money. Already available solutions within the university campus are based on local vending modules provided by a banking entity that are spread all over the campus. However this approach restrict the places where this kind of payments can be carried out.
OTTIUC have tried to solve this problem by developing a platform that brings together all those small payments independently the place and the device where they are done. Therefore any terminal with an smartcard reader (desktop, photocopier, printer, …) can be used as a payment point. The multiple charges will be registered and stored on a server, following a centralized approach. The platform developed offers a web interface which makes the payment capabilities available in almost every device. Besides that it has been implemented a library that easies the integration of the payment system in any currently or in the near future available application that has payment needs.
