Abstract
A smart card includes a front surface plate including a linear cutout. An electrical connector is disposed on the front surface plate and extends into the linear cutout. The electrical connector is coupled to and movable along a communication interface trace through the linear cutout. A middle plate is positioned adjacent to the front surface plate, the middle plate including a cavity. A back surface plate is positioned adjacent to the middle plate. The cavity includes a first portion to hold one or more first memory components and a second portion to hold one or more second memory components. The electrical connector selectively electrically couples a first memory component of the one or more first and second memory components to the communication interface trace.
Claims16
A smart card comprising:
- a front surface plate comprising a linear cutout;
- an electrical connector disposed on the front surface plate and extending into the linear cutout, wherein the electrical connector is coupled to and movable along a communication interface trace through the linear cutout;
- a middle plate positioned adjacent to the front surface plate, the middle plate comprising a cavity;
- a back surface plate positioned adjacent to the middle plate;
- and
- wherein the cavity comprises:
- a first portion to hold one or more first memory components;
- and
- a second portion to hold one or more second memory components;
- and
- wherein the electrical connector is to selectively electrically couple, to the communication interface trace, a selected memory component of the one or more first and second memory components.
A smart card comprising:
- a front surface plate forming a cutout;
- a middle plate positioned adjacent to the front surface plate and comprising a plurality of cavities, wherein the plurality of cavities are configured to hold a plurality of memory components;
- a back surface plate positioned adjacent to the middle plate;
- an electrical dial switch disposed on the back surface plate and extending into the cutout of the front surface plate;
- a communication interface trace disposed on the back surface plate and electrically coupled to the electrical dial switch;
- and
- a plurality of antennas disposed on the back surface plate and coupled to the electrical dial switch, each antenna being located adjacent to a memory component of the plurality of memory components, and wherein the electrical dial switch is to selectively couple an antenna of the plurality of antennas to the communication interface trace to activate a selected memory component that is adjacent to the coupled antenna.
