Abstract
A dynamic transaction card that includes a number of layers, each of which may be interconnected to one another. For example, a dynamic transaction card may include an outer layer, a potting layer, a sensor layer, a display layer (including, for example, LEDs, a dot matrix display, and the like), a microcontroller/microprocessor storing firmware, Java applets, Java applet integration, and the like, an EMV processor, an energy storage component, one or more antenna (e.g., Bluetooth antenna, NFC antenna, and the like), a power management component, a flexible printed circuit board (PCB), a chassis, and/or a card backing layer. A display layer may include enhanced features such as the use of display components as a barcode generator.
Claims12
A dynamic transaction card comprising:
- a sensor that detects an input of the dynamic transaction card;
- an application that is account-provider specific and includes instructions to generate a display upon receiving input from the sensor;
- an EMV processor in communication with a microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor receives application data from the application and activates a display component via a display driver;
- the display component comprising one or more LED lights, wherein the one or more LED lights generate a barcode using constructive interference to generate an analog wave that is read by a barcode reader, wherein the LED lights are individually driven at different frequencies such that a light wave generated from each LED light constructively interferes with light waves generated by other LED lights, creating one or more spatial light voids in the analog wave;
- an energy storage component to power the dynamic transaction card.
