Abstract: A printed circuit board (“PCB”) with a power source. The PCB and power source combination may be inserted into a small electronic device, such as a dynamic transaction card, which may include a dynamic transaction card or a EuroPay-MasterCard-Visa (“EMV”) card. For example, a PCB may be manufactured to attach a battery as a power source to one side of a PCB such that the integrated battery directly connects with at least a portion of the PCB side. A rapid energy storage device may also be utilized as a power source. Energy may be harvested from an EMV terminal to charge or recharge a dynamic transaction card or EMV card powered by a rapid energy storage device when the card is inserted into the terminal.

Abstract: Using inductive currents to wirelessly charge a device via a device connected to a power source. This inductive charging may result when a first mobile device recognizes a second mobile device via a wireless connection (e.g., Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Near-Field Communication (NFC), or the like). An application stored on the first mobile device may recognize a second mobile device by transmitting an advertising packet when the first mobile device is connected to a power source. An advertising packet may be received by the second mobile device and the second mobile device may transmit a response to the advertising packet in order to generate a connection between the first and second mobile devices. The response may include data such as, connection strength, response time, connection preferences, and the like. Upon detection and connection, the second mobile device may be wirelessly charged by the first device via inductive charging.

Abstract: An electronic device, such as a dynamic transaction card having an EMV chip, that acts as a TPM having a memory, an applet, and a cryptographic coprocessor performs secure firmware and/or software updates, and performs firmware and/or software validation for firmware and/or software that is stored on the electronic device. Validation may compare a calculated checksum with a checksum stored in EMV chip memory. If a checksum calculated for firmware and/or a software application matches a checksum stored in EMV chip memory of the transaction card, the transaction card may operate normally. If a checksum calculated for firmware and/or a software application does not match a checksum stored in EMV chip memory of the transaction card, the transaction card may freeze all capabilities, erase the memory of the transaction card, display data indicative of a fraudulent or inactive transaction card, and/or the like.
