  • Folding contactless card payment authentication
    Patent number: 10269020
    Abstract: A folding mechanism is used to authenticate purchases when making transactions using a contactless smart card. By folding the contactless card in a precise manner, the electrical resistance of the antenna circuit of the contactless card is changed by bypassing the card's built-in resistors. A user may set a folding orientation as the “password” of the contactless card. This folding orientation determines the electrical resistance of the card necessary to authenticate a purchase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 22, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2019
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Giacomo G. Chiarella, Daniel T. Cunnington, Eunjin Lee, Brad T. Roeger
