摘要:
A wireless terminal (30) including a smart card application host (34), such as a contact smart card or the terminal MCU or a terminal security component, and including a terminal interface (32), and also including a smart card router (33) that enables RF communication with a contactless card reader (35) in for example a ticketing system (31), even though the smart card application host (34) does not contain a contactless interface. The smart card router (33) includes an RF antenna (33c), separate from and external to the smart card application host (34), and also a modulator/demodulator (33b), and also includes a card access module and router (33a) for routing communication traffic (Rin) arriving via the RF antenna (33c) to either the smart card application host (34) or to the terminal interface (32), based on information included in the arriving communication traffic (Rin).
摘要:
A card is provided with a touch transmitter operable to electrically communicate touch signals to a touch-sensitive screen such as a capacitive touch sensitive screen. In doing so, for example, a card may directly communicate with a mobile telephonic device or portable computer (e.g., a tablet computer). A card is provided with a light sensor operable to receive information via light emitted from a display screen or another source of light. Accordingly, a mobile telephonic device or portable computer (e.g., tablet computer) may communicate information to a card via light pulses. Information communicated via light may include, for example, points balances, credit balances, debit balances, transaction history, software updates, coupons, promotions, advertisements or any other type of information.
摘要:
A security device (2) including a substantially transparent material (6) having a first side and a second side. An array of lenses (4) is arranged on the first side of the material (6) and an ablative layer (8), which is reflective or at least partially opaque, is arranged on the second side of the material. The ablative layer has one or more patterns (12, 16) formed by removal of the ablative layer, for example by laser radiation (10, 14). The or each pattern (12, 16) is viewable at a particular viewing angle (θ, φ) or range of angles through the array of lenses. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing a security device.
摘要:
A bar code or similar code symbol can be printed accurately within a specified printing area in a printer (1) for printing such symbols. The printer (1) has a converter for converting the display information to a symbol, and a means for reporting the size of the converted symbol to a host device (90). The host device only sends specific commands and text data for representation in the printed symbol to the printer (1) for printing. As a result, the host can confirm whether printing within the specific area is possible.
摘要:
A system, apparatus, and method for preventing the unauthorized access to a payment application installed on a mobile payment device, or to transaction data stored in the device. The mobile payment device may be a mobile phone that includes a contactless element (such as a contactless smart chip) and that is capable of communication and data transfer using a wireless communications network and a near field communications capability. Unauthorized access to the payment application is prevented by requiring that access control data be received from a trusted source, such as a controller or application in charge of managing inputs from a phone keypad, in order to activate the payment application or to access stored data.
