If you wanted to know how Apple's iPhone ordering and paying patentcould work in Starbucks, check these amazing screens created bydesigner Phil Lu. They not only look like the real thing, but the mostimpressive thing is that they were actually made before the Apple patent was publicized:
We asked Phil about why his design used a Semacode to confirmpayment when you pick up your order, since Apple didn't use this systemand just a regular credit card payment system. His answers was verysurprising:
Quote:
This concept was designed before the Apple patent is widelypublicized. Similar to ordering song through the web via iTune account,Semacode works like a digital "receipt," allowing the user to use theiriTunes account for the transaction (which will bypass credit cardtransaction/identification, and speed up the pick-up process).
While these screens look so good that we wish they were the real thing, we will have to wait for next tuesday see how they really look (if Apple announces anything related to that patent, that is.) [Genoco - Thanks Sacha]
