Abstract
A portable card including a resonance circuit of that portable card that wirelessly receives power from an external source, a processor of the portable card that wirelessly transmits a predetermined data sequence in response to the resonance circuit receiving power from the external source and a set of at least three contacts on an exterior of the portable card, wherein a user bridges the contacts with the user's fingers in a predetermined combination to create a circuit and activate the processor for transmission of the predetermined data sequence.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a portable card;
- a resonance circuit of that portable card that wirelessly receives power from an external source;
- a processor of the portable card that wirelessly transmits a predetermined data sequence in response to the resonance circuit receiving power from the external source;
- and
- a set of at least three contacts on an exterior of the portable card, wherein a user bridges the contacts with the user's fingers in a predetermined combination to create a circuit and activate the processor for transmission of the predetermined data sequence.
An apparatus comprising:
- a portable card;
- a card reader;
- a resonance circuit of that portable card that wirelessly receives power from the card reader;
- a processor of the portable card that wirelessly transmits a predetermined data sequence to the card reader in response to the resonance circuit receiving power from the external source;
- and
- a set of at least three contacts on an exterior of the portable card, wherein a user bridges the contacts with the user's fingers in a predetermined combination to create a circuit and activate the processor for transmission of the predetermined data sequence.
An apparatus comprising a portable card;
- a resonance circuit of that portable card that wirelessly receives a radio frequency signal from a security system;
- a processor of the portable card that wirelessly transmits a predetermined data sequence in response to the resonance circuit receiving the radio frequency signal from the security system;
- and
- a plurality of touch pads on the card, the plurality of touch pads forming at least three different contact sets on an exterior of the portable card, wherein a user bridges the touch pads with the user's fingers in a predetermined combination to create a circuit and activate the processor for transmission of the predetermined data sequence.
