This invention relates to magnetic cards and devices and associated payment systems.
A card may include a dynamic magnetic communications device. Such a dynamic magnetic communications device may take the form of a magnetic encoder or a magnetic emulator. A magnetic encoder may change the information located on a magnetic medium such that a magnetic stripe reader may read changed magnetic information from the magnetic medium. A magnetic emulator may generate electromagnetic fields that directly communicate data to a magnetic stripe reader. Such a magnetic emulator may communicate data serially to a read-head of the magnetic stripe reader.
All, or substantially all, of the front as well as the back of a card may be a display (e.g., bi-stable, non bi-stable, LCD, or electrochromic display). Electrodes of a display may be coupled to one or more capacitive touch sensors such that a display may be provided as a touch-screen display. Any type of touch-screen display may be utilized. Such touch-screen displays may be operable of determining multiple points of touch. A barcode, for example, may be displayed across all, or substantially all, of a surface of a card. In doing so, computer vision equipment such as barcode readers may be less susceptible to errors in reading a displayed barcode.
A card may include a number of output devices to output dynamic information. For example, a card may include one or more RFIDs or IC chips to communicate to one or more RFID readers or IC chip readers, respectively. A card may include devices to receive information. For example, an RFID and IC chip may both receive information and communicate information to an RFID and IC chip reader, respectively. A card may include a central processor that communicates data through one or more output devices simultaneously (e.g., an RFID, IC chip, and a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device). The central processor may receive information from one or more input devices simultaneously (e.g., an RFID, IC chip, and a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device). A processor may be coupled to surface contacts such that the processor may perform the processing capabilities of, for example, an EMV chip. The processor may be laminated over and not exposed such that such a processor is not exposed on the surface of the card.
A card may be provided with a button in which the activation of the button causes a code to be communicated through a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device (e.g., the subsequent time a read-head detector on the card detects a read-head). The code may be indicative of, for example, a payment option. The code may be received by the card via manual input (e.g., onto buttons of the card).
A magnetic emulator may include a coil. Inside the coil, one or more strips of a material (e.g., a magnetic or non-magnetic material) may be provided. Outside of the coil, one or more strips of a material (e.g., a magnetic or non-magnetic material) may be provided. For example, three strips of soft magnetic material may be provided in a coil and one strip of hard magnetic material may be provided exterior of the coil on the side of the coil opposite of the side of the coil utilized to serially communicate magnetic stripe data to a magnetic stripe reader.
A magnetic emulator may include a coil that may produce an electromagnetic field when current is conducted through the coil. A magnetic material (e.g., a soft-magnetic material) may be located within the coil, which may enhance the electromagnetic field produced by the coil. For example, multiple or several strips of soft-magnetic material may be provided inside of the coil. A hard-magnetic material may be provided outside of the coil. The hard-magnetic material may be provided on the side of the coil opposite the side of a coil that communicates to a read-head of a magnetic stripe reader. For example, the electromagnetic field produced by the coil may be subjected to a torque that may be induced by the magnetic field generated by the hard-magnetic material outside of the coil. Such a torque may orient a magnetic moment of the electromagnetic field to the magnetic field generated by the hard-magnetic material.
One or more strips of shielding material may be placed adjacent to the magnetic emulator. For example, one or more strips of shielding material may be provided adjacent to the magnetic emulator on a side opposite a side that communicates data to a read-head of a magnetic stripe reader. In so doing, the shielding material may reduce a magnetic bias from a hard magnetic material located outside of a coil of a magnetic emulator, as well as reduce an electromagnetic field that may be produced by a coil of a magnetic emulator. In doing so, magnetic-based signals from a magnetic emulator may be substantially attenuated on an adjacent side of the magnetic emulator.
Accordingly, for example, a magnetic stripe reader that provides one read-head housing on one side of a card and another read-head housing on a different side of a card may receive discernable magnetic-based signals from the read-head housing on the side of the magnetic emulator that does not include a shield and may not receive discernable magnetic-based signals from the read-head housing on the side of the magnetic emulator that does include a shield.
A shielding material may, for example, be a magnetic or non-magnetic material. A shielding material may be a permalloy or mu-metal. A shielding material may substantially reduce, for example, just a magnetic bias from a hard magnetic material from a magnetic emulator. A shielding material may substantially reduce, for example, both a magnetic bias from a hard magnetic material from a magnetic emulator as well as electromagnetic information signals from a coil of a magnetic emulator.
Accordingly, a magnitude of a magnetic field produced by the magnetic emulator and/or the hard magnetic material may be higher on one side of the shield as compared to the opposite side of the shield.
In addition, the shielding material may channel, or redirect, the magnetic field produced by the magnetic emulator. In so doing, not only may the shield reduce the magnitude of a magnetic field produced by the magnetic emulator on one side of the shield, the shield may also serve to increase the magnitude of the magnetic field on the other side of the shield.
The principles and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the following drawings, in which the same reference numerals denote the same structural elements throughout, and in which:
Card 100 may include a second dynamic number that may also be entirely, or partially, displayed via a second display (e.g., display 108). Display 108 may be utilized, for example, to display a dynamic code such as a dynamic security code. Card 100 may also include third display 122 that may be used to display graphical information, such as logos and barcodes. Third display 122 may also be utilized to display multiple rows and/or columns of textual and/or graphical information.
Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that any one or more of displays 106, 108, and/or 122 may be implemented as a bi-stable display. For example, information provided on displays 106, 108, and/or 122 may be stable in at least two different states (e.g., a powered-on state and a powered-off state). Any one or more of displays 106, 108, and/or 122 may be implemented as a non-bi-stable display. For example, the display is stable in response to operational power that is applied to the non-bi-stable display. Other display types, such as LCD or electro-chromic, may be provided as well.
Other permanent information, such as permanent information 120, may be included within card 100, which may include user specific information, such as the cardholder's name or username. Permanent information 120 may, for example, include information that is specific to card 100 (e.g., a card issue date and/or a card expiration date). Information 120 may represent, for example, information that includes information that is both specific to the cardholder, as well as information that is specific to card 100.
Card 100 may accept user input data via any one or more data input devices, such as buttons 110-118. Buttons 110-118 may be included to accept data entry through mechanical distortion, contact, or proximity. Buttons 110-118 may be responsive to, for example, induced changes and/or deviations in light intensity, pressure magnitude, or electric and/or magnetic field strength. Such information exchange may be determined and processed by a processor of card 100 as data input.
Dynamic magnetic stripe communications device 102 may be included on card 100 to communicate information to, for example, a read-head of a magnetic stripe reader via, for example, electromagnetic signals. The electromagnetic field strength as may be measured on one side of card 100, for example, may be reduced by shield 124. In so doing, for example, the presence of shield 124 in proximity to dynamic magnetic stripe communications device 102 may cause the electromagnetic field produced by dynamic magnetic stripe communications device 102 to be reduced on, for example, one side of card 100 as compared, for example, to the other side of card 100. The presence of shield 124 in proximity to dynamic magnetic stripe communications device 102 may, for example, cause a magnetic field produced by a hard-magnetic material of dynamic magnetic stripe communications device 102 to be reduced on, for example, one side of card 100 as compared, for example, to another side of card 100.
The electromagnetic field strength as may be measured on one side of card 100 may be increased by shield 124. For example, a presence of shield 124 in proximity to dynamic magnetic stripe communications device 102 may channel, or redirect, electromagnetic flux lines generated by dynamic magnetic stripe communications device 102 away from shield 124.
Card 100 may, for example, be formed as a laminate structure of two or more layers. Card 100 may, for example, include top and bottom layers of a plastic material (e.g., a polymer). Electronics package circuitry (e.g., one or more printed circuit boards, a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device, a battery, a display, a processor, and buttons) may be sandwiched between top and bottom layers of a laminate structure of card 100. A material (e.g., a polyurethane-based or silicon-based substance) may be injected between top and bottom layers and cured (e.g., solidified) to form card 100 that has a flexible laminate structure.
One or more of the components shown in architecture 150 may be configured to transmit information to processor 154 and/or may be configured to receive information as transmitted by processor 154. For example, one or more displays 156 may be coupled to receive data from processor 154. The data received from processor 154 may include, for example, at least a portion of dynamic numbers and/or dynamic codes. The data to be displayed on the display may be displayed on one or more displays 156.
One or more displays 156 may, for example, be touch sensitive and/or proximity sensitive. For example, objects such as fingers, pointing devices, etc., may be brought into contact with displays 156, or in proximity to displays 156. Detection of object proximity or object contact with displays 156 may be effective to perform any type of function (e.g., transmit data to processor 154). Displays 156 may have multiple locations that are able to be determined as being touched, or determined as being in proximity to an object.
Input and/or output devices may be implemented within architecture 150. For example, integrated circuit (IC) chip 160 (e.g., an EMV chip) may be included on architecture 150, that can communicate information with a chip reader (e.g., an EMV chip reader). Radio frequency identification (RFID) module 162 may be included within architecture 150 to enable the exchange of information between an RFID reader and architecture 150.
Other input and/or output devices 168 may be included within architecture 150, for example, to provide any number of input and/or output capabilities. For example, other input and/or output devices 168 may include an audio device capable of receiving and/or transmitting audible information. Other input and/or output devices 168 may include a device that exchanges analog and/or digital data using a visible data carrier. Other input and/or output devices 168 may include a device, for example, that is sensitive to a non-visible data carrier, such as an infrared data carrier or electromagnetic data carrier.
Electromagnetic field generators 170-174 may be included to communicate one or more tracks of electromagnetic data to read-heads of a magnetic stripe reader. Electromagnetic field generators 170-174 may include, for example, a series of electromagnetic elements, where each electromagnetic element may be implemented as a coil wrapped around one or more materials (e.g., a magnetic material and/or a non-magnetic material). Additional materials may be placed outside the coil (e.g., a magnetic material and/or a non-magnetic material). A shield may be provided, for example, to prevent magnetic bias, or other magnetic-based signals, from proceeding past shield 199. In this manner, for example, shield 199 may be placed on the obverse side of a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device and may block magnetic-based fields from emanating past shield 199 and as such, prevent fields from emanating through the front of a card (e.g., card 100 of
Shield 199 may include magnetic or non-magnetic material (e.g., soft-magnetic material). Shield 199 may include one or more layers of material (e.g., one or more layers of soft-magnetic material). Shield 199 may limit the electromagnetic field strength as may be generated, for example, by electromagnetic field generators 170-174 on one side of shield 199 as compared to the other side of shield 199.
Electrical excitation by processor 154 of one or more coils of one or more electromagnetic elements via, for example, driving circuitry 164 may be effective to generate electromagnetic fields from one or more electromagnetic elements. One or more electromagnetic field generators 170-174 may be utilized to communicate electromagnetic information to, for example, one or more read-heads of a magnetic stripe reader.
Timing aspects of information exchange between architecture 150 and the various I/O devices implemented on architecture 150 may be determined by processor 154. One or more detectors 166 may be utilized, for example, to sense the proximity, mechanical distortion, or actual contact, of an external device, which in turn, may trigger the initiation of a communication sequence. The sensed presence or touch of the external device may then be communicated to a controller (e.g., processor 154), which in turn may direct the exchange of information between architecture 150 and the external device. The sensed presence, mechanical distortion, or touch of the external device may be effective to, for example, determine the type of device or object detected.
The detection may include, for example, a read-head housing of a magnetic stripe reader. In response, processor 154 may activate one or more electromagnetic field generators 170-174 to initiate a communications sequence with, for example, one or more read-heads of a magnetic stripe reader. The timing relationships associated with communications to one or more electromagnetic field generators 170-174 and one or more read-heads of a magnetic stripe reader may be provided through use of the detection of the magnetic stripe reader.
Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that processor 154 may provide user-specific and/or card-specific information through utilization of any one or more of buttons 110-118, RFID 162, IC chip 160, electromagnetic field generators 170-174, and other input and/or output devices 168.
Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that a card (e.g., card 100 of
Magnetic emulator 200 may include material 206. For example, material 206 may be arranged in proximity to coil 204 and material 202, such that material 206 may extend along at least a portion of a length of coil 204 and material 202. Material 206 may include a magnetic or a non-magnetic material (e.g., a hard-magnetic material). Material 206 may include, for example, a laminated structure having two or more layers of material (e.g., two or more layers of hard-magnetic material).
As current is conducted by coil 204 (e.g., via driving circuitry not shown), an electromagnetic field may be produced by magnetic emulator 200. A direction of current conducted through coil 204 may determine a polarity of the electromagnetic field generated. For example, current conducted through coil 204 may produce electromagnetic flux lines in accordance with an electromagnetic field having one polarity, while reversing the current conducted by coil 204 may produce electromagnetic flux lines in accordance with a reversed electromagnetic field polarity. In so doing, one track of electromagnetic data may be communicated by magnetic emulator 200 to read-heads of a magnetic stripe reader by appropriate control of current conducted by coil 204.
Material 206 (e.g., hard-magnetic material) may bias the electromagnetic field generated by magnetic emulator 200. For example, a magnetization curve associated with material 202 (e.g., a soft-magnetic material) may be biased (e.g., exchange biased) by the presence of material 206 (e.g., a hard-magnetic material), such that the hard-magnetization behavior of material 206 may cause a shift in the soft-magnetization curve of material 202.
Shield 208 (e.g., a soft-magnetic material) may be placed in proximity to magnetic emulator 200 (e.g., in proximity to material 206). In so doing, for example, shield 208 may reduce a magnitude of an electromagnetic field produced by magnetic emulator 200 in one region (e.g., region 210) as compared to a magnitude of an electromagnetic field produced in another region (e.g., region 212). Additionally, for example, shield 208 may interact with magnetic emulator 200 to enhance a magnitude of an electromagnetic field generated by magnetic emulator 200 in one region (e.g., region 212) as compared to a magnitude of an electromagnetic field produced in another region (e.g., region 210).
Interaction between magnetic read head 308 and magnetic stripe emulator 306 may increase a magnitude of electromagnetic flux lines 310 as may be generated by magnetic stripe emulator 306. For example, magnetic stripe emulator 306 may generate magnetic flux lines 310 that, for example, due to the presence of magnetic read head 308 may protrude outwardly towards magnetic read head 308. In so doing, the presence of magnetic read head 308 may provide an increased attraction of magnetic flux lines 310 to magnetic read head 308. Accordingly, for example, detection of magnetic flux lines 310 by magnetic read head 308 may be improved via an attractive interaction between magnetic read head 308 and magnetic stripe emulator 306.
Magnetic stripe emulator 306 may, for example, include a coil and associated driving circuitry, such that the driving circuitry may cause a current to be conducted by the coil to produce electromagnetic flux lines 310. Magnetic stripe emulator 306 may further include, for example, a non-magnetic material and/or a magnetic material (e.g., a soft-magnetic material) contained within the coil. A non-magnetic and/or a magnetic material (e.g., a hard-magnetic material) may be placed outside of the coil. A presence, for example, of the hard-magnetic material outside of the coil may interact with the soft-magnetic material inside of the coil to further enhance an electromagnetic field produced by the coil.
By modulating a direction and/or a magnitude of current flow through the coil, a responsive polarity shift and/or magnitude shift of electromagnetic flux lines 310 may be induced. A series of polarity and/or magnitude shifts in electromagnetic flux lines 310 may be detected by magnetic read head 308 as data communicated from card 304 to read head 308 of magnetic card reader 302. In so doing, transfer of data from card 304 to magnetic card reader 302 may be enhanced through the increased attraction between magnetic read head 308 and the magnetic flux lines 310 as generated by magnetic stripe emulator 306.
Magnetic card reader 402 may, for example, include a magnetic read head (e.g., magnetic read head 408) on one side of magnetic card reader 402 and may, for example, include another magnetic read head (e.g., magnetic read head 410) on an opposite side of magnetic card reader 402. In so doing, magnetic card reader 402 may detect an electromagnetic field generated by card 404 regardless of a direction that card 404 may be inserted into magnetic card reader 402.
For example, insertion of card 404 into card reader 402 as illustrated may create a magnetic interaction system between magnetic stripe emulator 416 and magnetic read head 408 while substantially preventing a magnetic interaction between magnetic stripe emulator 416 and magnetic read head 410. Insertion of card 404 into card reader 402 in an opposite orientation may, for example, create a magnetic interaction system between magnetic stripe emulator 416 and magnetic read head 410 while substantially preventing a magnetic interaction between magnetic stripe emulator 416 and magnetic read head 408.
A presence of a magnetic read head (e.g., magnetic read head 408) may provide an attraction to magnetic flux lines (e.g., magnetic flux lines 412) as generated by magnetic stripe emulator 416. A presence of a second magnetic read head (e.g., magnetic read head 410) may provide an attraction to magnetic flux lines (e.g., magnetic flux lines 414) as generated by magnetic stripe emulator 416.
Shield 418 may include a magnetic or non-magnetic material (e.g., a soft-magnetic material). Shield 418 may be placed in proximity to magnetic stripe emulator 416 to, for example, reduce a magnetic attraction between magnetic flux lines generated by magnetic stripe emulator 416 and either magnetic read head 410 or magnetic read head 408. Multiple layers of a magnetic or non-magnetic material (e.g., multiple layers of a soft-magnetic material) may be laminated together to form shield 418. In so doing, for example, a coercivity of shield 418 may be enhanced (e.g., increased).
A presence, for example, of shield 418 between magnetic stripe emulator 416 and magnetic read head 410 may reduce a magnitude of an electromagnetic field that may be detected by magnetic read head 410. Shield 418 may, for example, attract, or channel, magnetic flux lines 414 so as to substantially prevent magnetic flux lines 414 from being detected by magnetic read head 410. Accordingly, for example, a magnitude of electromagnetic flux as detected, for example, on side 420 of card 404 may be reduced as compared to a magnitude of electromagnetic flux as detected, for example, on side 422 of card 404.
Additionally, a magnitude of electromagnetic flux as detected, for example, on side 422 of card 404 may be increased as compared to a magnitude of electromagnetic flux as detected on side 420 of card 404. For example, shield 418 may redirect electromagnetic flux toward side 422 of card 404, so as to increase a magnitude of electromagnetic flux on side 422 as compared to a magnitude of electromagnetic flux that may be detected on side 422 of card 404 in the absence of shield 418.
Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that reversal of card 404 within magnetic card reader 402 may cause a reversal of magnetic interaction between card 404 and magnetic card reader 402. For example, card 404 may be inserted into magnetic card reader 402 such that shield 418 exists between magnetic stripe emulator 416 and magnetic read head 408. In such an instance, a magnitude of an electromagnetic field that may be detected by magnetic read head 408 may be reduced. In so doing, shield 418 may, for example, attract, or channel, magnetic flux lines so as to substantially prevent magnetic flux lines from being detected by magnetic read head 408. Additionally, the attraction, or channeling, of magnetic flux lines by shield 418 may enhance an ability of magnetic read head 410 of detecting magnetic flux lines as generated by magnetic stripe emulator 416.
Sequence 520 may include, for example, reversing an orientation of the card (e.g., as in step 521) and reinserting a card into the magnetic card reader as in step 522. Detection of an electromagnetic field generated by the card may be enhanced for the second read head of the magnetic card reader (e.g., as in step 523). For example, a shield and a magnetic stripe emulator on the card may be reoriented such that the shield may channel, or redirect, magnetic flux lines generated by the magnetic stripe emulator to the second magnetic read head. Additionally, detection of the electromagnetic field generated by the card may be reduced for the first read head of the magnetic card reader (e.g., as in step 524). For example, a shield and a magnetic stripe emulator on the card may be reoriented such that the shield may attract magnetic flux lines generated by the magnetic stripe emulator, thereby reducing a magnitude of magnetic flux detected by the first read head of the magnetic card reader.
Sequence 530 may include, for example, generating magnetic flux lines from a magnetic stripe emulator of a card (e.g., as in step 531). A shield may be used to reduce a magnitude of magnetic flux lines generated by the card on one side of the card (e.g., as in step 532). Additionally, the shield may be used, for example, to increase a magnitude of magnetic flux lines generated by the card on another side of the card (e.g., as in step 533).
Magnetic emulator 610 may include magnet 615. For example, magnet 615 may be arranged in proximity to coils 611 and 613, such that magnet 615 may extend along at least a portion of a length of coils 611 and 613. Magnet 615 may, for example, include a hard-magnetic material.
Shield 620 may include, for example, two shields (e.g., shields 621 and 622) that may be fixed together (e.g., laminated together) and placed in proximity to magnetic emulator 610. Shields 621 and 622 may include, for example, soft-magnetic materials. A sheath may be placed around shield 621 and/or shield 622. A sheath may be placed around shields 621 and 622 and the sheath may be attached to magnet 615. A sheath may be attached to magnet 615 (e.g., fixed at points in the middle, at the ends, or in the middle and at the ends of magnet 615). A sheath may be attached uniformly across magnet 615. Shields 621 and 622 may not be attached to the sheath. In so doing, for example, shields 621 and 622 may move within the sheath.
Magnetic emulator 610 may, for example, be sandwiched between top and bottom layers of polymer (e.g., PVC). Shield 620 may be fixed (e.g., glued) to one of the layers of polymer (e.g., a top layer). In so doing, for example, laminate may exist between shield 620 and magnet 615.
Shield 620 may be attached to magnetic emulator 610 to form an electronic package that may be held together with other electronic packages via a mold while a liquid laminate material (e.g., a polyurethane-based or silicon-based substance) is injected into the mold. A sheath surrounding shield 620 may, for example, be sealed to prevent liquid laminate from getting into the sheath. The liquid laminate material may be cured (e.g., solidified) via a reaction caused by a change in condition (e.g., chemical, temperature, or UV light). The resulting interior laminate may be sandwiched between two layers of polymer to form a card having a laminate structure with top, middle, and bottom layers.
A card may be formed with a magnetic emulator that does not have a shield. Accordingly, for example, a shield may be fixed (e.g., glued) to a surface of a card (e.g., a top surface) at any location on the card (e.g., at a location above a magnet of a magnetic emulator of the card). A printing technique may be used to cover the shield. For example, colored plastic may be printed onto a shield that later hardens due to some condition (e.g., a particular spectrum of light or temperature).
Persons skilled in the art will also appreciate that the present invention is not limited to only the embodiments described. Instead, the present invention more generally involves dynamic information. Persons skilled in the art will also appreciate that the apparatus of the present invention may be implemented in ways other than those described herein. All such modifications are within the scope of the present invention, which is limited only by the claims that follow.
