Patent number: 9129280Abstract: A smart card usable in magnetic stripe swipe transactions with a transaction terminal configured to read transaction information encoded on a magnetic stripe of a standard transaction card includes a card body, which includes a magnetic stripe emulator for use with the transaction terminal, a smart card chip programmed with at least one transaction application for providing secured data for use in a transaction and dynamic card verification data, a power supply, and a card controller in communication with the magnetic stripe emulator. The card controller is configured to receive the dynamic card verification data and control the magnetic stripe emulator to emit a magnetic field encoded with at least a portion of the secured data and the dynamic card verification data.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2013Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: X-CARD HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: John Kenneth Bona, Mark Allan Cox

Patent number: 8628017Abstract: A card for use in secure transactions includes a card body having a first major surface and a second major surface, the first major surface having a combination of a plurality of symbols disposed thereon. The card body has a plurality of LEDs disposed in connection with the plurality of preprinted symbols, individual ones of LEDs being disposed to identify respective individual ones of the plurality of symbols when illuminated. An LED controller is coupled to the plurality of LEDs and operable upon actuation to selectively illuminate individual ones of the plurality of LEDs to identify a sub-combination of the plurality of symbols, thereby providing an illuminated one-time code for use in a secure transaction.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: X-Card Holdings, LLCInventors: John Kenneth Bona, Rune Petter Domsten, Finn Nielsen

Publication number: 20120313754Abstract: A system and method for verifying the identity of an individual. The method may include for a smart card interfaced to a biometric interface device, determining if a match-on-card application exists on the smart card as a function of information contained on the card and capturing a biometric of an individual if a match-on-card application exists on the smart card using the biometric interface device. The captured biometric is then compared with a stored biometric. If the captured biometric matches with the stored biometric then a host application may be notified that the individual has been verified to access the data. Any one or several of these steps are performed without the use of a host application.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2012Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: X-Card Holdings, LLCInventor: John Kenneth Bona
