Abstract
An RFID magnetic field powered translating device that acts as a gateway between mobile devices and radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled readers. The gateway enables the portable device to emulate access credentials for physical access, computer credentials, licenses and payment cards using Bluetooth communication between the portable mobile device and translating device; and RFID emulation at either 125 khz or 13.56 MHz between the translating device and the RFID reader.
Claims22
A method of providing a gateway between a mobile devices and radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled readers, the method comprises the steps of:
- (A) providing a RFID reader, a translating adapter, and a portable computing device;
- (B) providing a set of user credentials stored on the portable computing device;
- (C) sending the set of user credentials from the portable computing device to the translating adapter, if the portable computing device is positioned proximal to the translating adapter;
- (D) converting the set of user credentials into an RFID signal with a microprocessor of the translating adapter;
- (E) sending the RFID signal from the translating adapter to the RFID reader;
- (F) executing an authentication process for the RFID signal, after the RFID reader receives the RFID signal;
