Secure countless payment method and device with movement-activated electronic circuitry

A contactless payment device comprising:

• a wireless communication device;
• a power source;
• a processor coupled to the power source;
• an accelerometer communicatively coupled to the processor and the power source;
• and
• an actuator communicatively coupled to the wireless communication device and the processor, the actuator being configured to:
• activate the wireless communication device when the actuator is set in a closed state, and
• deactivate the wireless communication device when the actuator is set in an open state;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive an incoming signal from the accelerometer;
• determine whether the incoming signal corresponds to a pre-programmed signal corresponding to an enabling gesture by analyzing the incoming signal to identify dominant gesture frequencies,
• set the actuator in the closed state when the incoming signal corresponds to the enabling gesture;
• receive a verification request from a payment terminal via the wireless communication device;
• upon determining the request is verified, transmit instructions to the wireless device to transmit information to the payment terminal;
• and
• upon transmitting the instructions, set the actuator in an open state.

A system for performing a transaction with a contactless payment device, the system comprising:

• a processor comprised in the contactless payment device;
• an accelerometer communicatively coupled to the processor;
• an actuator communicatively coupled to a wireless communication device comprised in the contactless payment device;
• and
• a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an incoming signal from the accelerometer;
• determining whether the incoming signal corresponds to a pre-programmed signal corresponding to an enabling gesture by analyzing the incoming signal to identify dominant gesture frequencies,
• activating the wireless device of the contactless payment device by setting the actuator in a closed state when the incoming signal corresponds to the enabling gesture;
• receiving a verification request from a payment terminal via the wireless communication device;
• upon determining a request is verified, transmitting secure data to perform a transaction via the wireless communication device;
• and
• deactivating the wireless device of the contactless payment device by setting the actuator in an open state when the secure data is transmitted.
