Abstract
An improved system for data card emulation involves a watch that can emulate any one of multiple data cards corresponding to multiple entities. The watch includes a memory for storing bar code information corresponding to data cards of the multiple entities. It provides an interface for identifying an entity and a display for displaying a bar code corresponding to a data card of the entity. The interface may include at least one of a bar code reader or a bar code emulator. The interface may include at least one of a magnetic stripe reader or a magnetic stripe emulator. The interface may receive a transmission such as a pulsed light transmission or a radio frequency transmission.
Claims20
A watch, comprising:
- a first interface configured to read a barcode that provides data card information corresponding to a data card of an entity, said first interface comprising barcode reader capabilities incorporated into said watch;
- a memory configured to store said data card information corresponding to said data card of said entity as a record in a database comprising a plurality of data card information corresponding to a plurality of barcodes corresponding to a plurality of data cards corresponding to a plurality of entities;
- a second interface configured to identify an entity of said plurality of entities, said interface comprising a graphical user interface that allows a user of said watch to identify said entity using a swipe motion and an icon displayed by said graphical user interface;
- a processor configured to retrieve from said database data card information of said plurality of data card information corresponding to a selected data card of said identified entity;
- and
- a third interface configured to convey said data card information corresponding to said selected data card of said identified entity, said third interface comprising a display for displaying said data card information corresponding to said selected data card of said identified entity.
A watch, comprising:
- a memory;
- a first interface configured to read into said memory a plurality of data card information corresponding to a plurality of barcodes corresponding to plurality of data cards corresponding to a plurality of entities, said first interface comprising barcode reader capabilities incorporated into said watch;
- a second interface configured to identify an entity of said plurality of entities, said interface comprising a graphical user interface that allows a user of said watch to identify said entity using a swipe motion and an icon displayed by said graphical user interface;
- a processor configured to retrieve from said memory a data card information of said plurality of data card information corresponding to a data card selected based upon said identified entity;
- and
- a third interface configured to convey said data card information corresponding to said selected data card, said third interface comprising a display for displaying said data card information corresponding to said selected data card of said identified entity.
