Abstract
A dynamic transaction card including: a printed circuit board (PCB); a power source integrated with the PCB configured to receive power from a smart card terminal, the power source comprising a battery attached to at least one side of the PCB and a capacitor; a power conditioning circuit configured to control power to be stored in the power source; and a power management component connected to the power source, the power management component being configured to manage charging and discharging power to and from the power source.
Claims14
A dynamic transaction card comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) having a capacitor printed thereon;
- a power source integrated on the PCB, the power source being configured to receive power from a smart card terminal, the power source comprising a battery and the capacitor, the battery being attached to the PCB, wherein a combination of the power source and the PCB has a thickness less than 0.70 mm;
- a power conditioning circuit configured to control the power to be stored in the power source;
- a power management circuit connected to the power source, the power management circuit being configured to manage charging and discharging of the power to and from the power source;
- and
- an activation sensor connected to the power management circuit, the activation sensor being configured to:
- receive an input indicative of a paired wireless mobile device and an input indicative of a password;
- and
- activate, in response to receiving the input indicative of the paired wireless mobile device and the input indicative of the password, the power management circuit to manage the charging and the discharging of the power to and from the power source.

A system comprising:
- a dynamic transaction card powered by a rapid energy storage device, the dynamic transaction card comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a smart card contact plate interface;
- a power conditioning circuit configured to withdraw power from the rapid energy storage device to power the dynamic transaction card;
- a power management circuit connected to the rapid energy storage device, which manages charging and discharging of the rapid energy storage device;
- and
- a smart card terminal;
- and
- an activation sensor connected to the power management circuit, the activation sensor being configured to:
- receive an input indicative of a paired wireless mobile device and an input indicative of a password;
- and
- activate, in response to receiving the input indicative of the paired wireless mobile device and the input indicative of the password, the power management circuit to manage the charging and the discharging of the rapid energy storage device;
- wherein the rapid energy storage device comprises a regulated path to a smart card terminal voltage source, and receives the power from the smart card terminal, and
- wherein the rapid energy storage device comprises a battery attached to the PCB and a capacitor printed on the PCB, a combination of the battery and the PCB having a thickness of less than 0.70 mm.
