摘要:
A payment card is provided with a display. A card may be provided to a user with a number of inactivated products. The products may be assigned to the user at card issuance. A user may then activate these products online or via phone. Accordingly, a user may be provided with a cross-selling platform for new products. Discounts, fee waivers, and/or value may be added to an account when an inactivated product is activated.

Payment cards and devices are provided that allow a user to select an action associated with a video game. Such a video game may be, for example, a video game operated on a remote server and operable to be accessed by multiple players such as a multiplayer game accessed via a social networking website. Accordingly, a user may, when the user is away from his/her computer, perform an in-game option by making a payment. Particularly, a user may select on a payment card a button associated with a particular game action, game action data may be routed to a game server such that the user's action is performed in a game associated with the user, and payment data may be authorized via a payment authorization service. In doing so, a user may perform actions in a game while the user is shopping. Game actions made with a payment device may be unique from game actions performed on non-payment devices (e.g., the user's laptop).

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:
Physical cards may be presented to a mobile device to establish a contactless communication channel between the physical card and the mobile device. Information communicated by the physical card may be received, stored, and used by the mobile device to generate a mobile wallet of virtual cards. Each virtual card in a mobile wallet may, for example, look just like its physical counterpart card and may provide equivalent functionality as its physical counterpart card when selected for use by the mobile device. Virtual cards may be sorted within the mobile wallet based on card category (e.g., payment, identification, or gift card category), card attributes (associations with other virtual cards), card variables (e.g., credit limit or credit available), and user attributes and variables (e.g., the user's current location). Information related to a virtual card (e.g., receipts) may be viewed from a display of the mobile device.
摘要:
Audio connectors are provided within a card. The audio connectors may be provided having a height that is compatible with a card (e.g., less than 1 mm or less than 0.5 mm). Communications to and from the card may be provided using the audio connectors within the card.

摘要:
A card may be formed using two or more printed circuit boards. Each printed circuit board may include one or more RFID antennas, RFID chips and a processor. A processor on a board may transfer data to one or more RFID chips on the same board. Alternately, a processor on a board may transfer data to one or more RFID chips on a different board via conductive terminals between boards. Data stored in one or more RFID chips may be erased after being communicated to an RFID device via an RFID antenna or after a configurable timeout period elapses. A card and a mobile device may include more than one RFID antenna to increase efficiency, reliability, and/or a number of data channels that may be communicated.

摘要:
A mobile device may receive security credentials from a contactless device via a contactless communication channel to authorize functions that may be performed by the mobile device. For example, purchase transactions may be authorized to be completed by a mobile device after payment information communicated from a physical payment card to the mobile device is confirmed to match at least a portion of payment information stored within a memory of the mobile device. A mobile device may forward the security credentials to a network entity for remote authorization of a requested function.
