Abstract
A reader device for attachment to a smart device comprising a display, the reader comprising an antenna, processing and reading circuitry, and a communications module, wherein the antenna, the processing and reading circuitry, the processor and the communications module are coupled to each other, and whereby the antenna encloses said display. When a card is tapped on the display, the antenna receives a signal and transmits the signal to the processing and reading circuitry. The processing and reading circuitry processes the signal to produce data, and the produced data is transmitted to a device external to the reader device by the communications module.
Claims20
A system for a device comprising a display, wherein the system comprises:
- an antenna;
- a processor;
- processing and reading circuitry;
- a communications module, wherein:
- the antenna, the processing and reading circuitry, the processor and the communications module are coupled to each other, and
- when the system is attached to the device, the antenna encloses the display of the device;
- and
- when a card is tapped on the display:
- the antenna receives a signal and transmits the signal to the processing and reading circuitry,
- the processing and reading circuitry processes the signal to produce data, and
- the produced data is transmitted to a device external to the system by the communications module.
A method to perform reading for a device comprising a display, the method comprising:
- providing a reader comprising:
- an antenna,
- a processor,
- processing and reading circuitry, and
- a communications module, wherein
- when the reader is attached to the device, the antenna encloses the display of the device;
- configuring the antenna to receive a signal when a card is tapped on the display;
- configuring the antenna to transmit the signal to the processing and reading circuitry;
- configuring the processing and reading circuitry to process the signal to produce data;
- and
- configuring the communications module to transmit the produced data to a device external to the reader.
