  • System for card to card transfer of secure data
    Patent number: 6502748
    Abstract: A smart card stores secure data, such as monetary values, and selectively transfers the secure data to or receives the secure data from a compatible smart card. The smart card includes a data storage device that stores the secure data. An identification input system receives identification input from a user. Control circuitry is responsive to the identification input to transfer secure data into the data storage device from a compatible smart card or to transfer secure data out of the data storage device to a compatible smart card when the control system determines from the identification input that the transfer is authorized. A data transfer interface in an edge of one card couples directly to a like interface in a slot of the other card to enable the secure data to be transferred between the two cards when the two cards are moved relative to each other.

  • System for card to card transfer of monetary values
    Patent number: 6394343
    Abstract: A smart card stores monetary values and selectively transfers monetary values to and receives monetary values from a compatible smart card. The smart card includes a data storage device that stores data representing monetary values. Control circuitry controls the transfer of the monetary values into the data storage device and controls the transfer of the monetary values out of the data storage device. A data transfer interface couples directly to a like interface on the compatible card to enable data to be transferred between the smart card and the compatible card. A system for electronic transfer of monetary values includes first and second smart cards. Each of the first and second smart cards includes a data storage device that stores data representing monetary values.
