摘要:
In some examples, a system and method for generating a payment instrument are described. The method includes receiving a unique signature that a recipient intends to associate with the payment instrument; verifying that the received feature meets an acceptability criterion; generating a representation of the received signature, wherein the representation is in a form capable of being physically associated with the payment instrument, and wherein association is established by embedding or exposing the representation on the payment instrument; and causing physical generation of the payment instrument having associated therewith the representation of the signature.

An MR sensor structured to detect whether or not magnetic data are recorded in a magnetic stripe of a card having first and second tracks may include a first resistor and a second resistor serially-connected with each other and disposed at positions where the first track is passed; and a third resistor and a fourth resistor serially-connected with each other and disposed at positions where the second track is passed. The second resistor and the fourth resistor may be connected with a power supply, and the first resistor and the third resistor may be ground grounded. A potential difference between a first midpoint between the first resistor and the second resistor and a second midpoint between the third resistor and the fourth resistor may be an output of the MR sensor.

A transaction product includes a primary member, an auxiliary member, and a machine-readable account identifier. The primary member defines a first panel and a second panel, the first panel defines two or more embossed sections defining interior ledge segments that define a track therebetween, and the first and second panels are coupled to one another such that the track is interposed between the first and second panels. The auxiliary member is interposed between the first and second panels, is partially positioned within the track, and is configured to move within the track in one or more of a first direction and a second direction. Movement of the auxiliary member is limited by interaction between the auxiliary member and the interior ledge segments of the two or more embossed sections. The machine-readable account identifier links the primary member to an account or record and is secured to the primary member.

A payment card is provided including a support in the format of a conventional bank payment card, and having a first integrated circuit dedicated to banking operations, a second integrated circuit not dedicated to banking operations; at least one man/machine interface, the second integrated circuit being configured so as to activate at least one part of the man/machine interface in response to a directive from the user and according to an algorithm contained in the second integrated circuit. A memory space is connected to the second integrated circuit for saving data arising from the execution of the algorithm; the memory space being also connected to the first integrated circuit for reading of the data arising from the execution of the algorithm. A battery is provided for powering the second integrated circuit.
摘要:
The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus that includes a magnetic field generator that is normally inactive and includes a magnetic stripe either mounted on the substrate or disposed within a substrate, one or more induction coils disposed within the substrate underneath a length of the magnetic stripe and a control circuit disposed within the substrate that is connected to the one or more induction coils. The control circuit generates a time-varying magnetic signal by pulsing the one or more induction coils underneath the magnetic stripe when activated by a processor. The time-varying magnetic signal is transmitted to a magnetic stripe reader and emulates a data stream generated by swiping a static magnetic stripe card through the magnetic stripe reader but is not created by swiping the magnetic stripe of the apparatus through the magnetic stripe reader or using an adapter to interface with the magnetic stripe reader.
