Patent number: 7861919Abstract: A system for managing token image replacement is provided. The system includes a remote server, a token acceptance device, such as a personal computer (PC), connected to the remote server, a token, such as a phone, that can be read by the PC, and a token image server. Using application logic and rules, the remote server is able to read the token image on the token and determine if the image on the phone needs to be updated. The remote server forwards a backup token image to the PC which, in turn, writes the backup token image including transaction information to the phone. Once the backup token image is written onto the phone, subsequent interactions with the system would not initiate an update.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Visa U.S.A. Inc.Inventors: Paul Spaeth, Douglas Jones, Bryan Shimko, James G. Gordon, Kim Madore, Marc Black, James Mazour, Michael Salters

Patent number: 7857215Abstract: A system having a host configured to maintain information relating to a first portable device and a second portable device and an interface device configured to communicate with the host and the first and second portable devices. The interface is configured to determine whether the first portable device is valid for image synchronization for recording an image of the first portable device, determine whether the second portable device is valid for image synchronization so as to download an image of the first portable device to the second portable device. The interface is further configured to determine whether the second portable device is valid for image replacement using information provided by the host for retrieving an image of the first portable device and download the retrieved image to the second portable device.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Visa U.S.A. Inc.Inventors: Loc Nguyen, Bryan Shimko, Liane Redford, James G. Gordon, Kim Madore, Marc Black, James Mazour, Michael Salters, Glenda Berg

Patent number: 7857216Abstract: A system for facilitating image management for portable devices, which includes a host configured to maintain information relating to a first portable device and a second portable device and an interface device configured to communicate with the host and the portable devices. The interface device includes control logic configured to: determine whether the first portable device is valid for image synchronization using information provided by the host in order to record an image of the first portable device, determine whether the second portable device is valid for image synchronization in order to download an image of the first portable device to the second portable device. The interface device further includes control logic configured to: determine whether the second portable device is valid for image replacement using information provided by the host so as to retrieve an image of the first portable device and download the retrieved image to the second portable device.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Visa U.S.A.

Patent number: 7624917Abstract: A system for managing token image replacement is provided. The system includes a remote server, a personal computer (PC) connected to the remote server, a smartcard that can be read by the PC, and a card image server. Using application logic and rules, the remote server is able to read the card image on the smartcard and determine if the card image on the smartcard needs to be updated. If an indicator on the smartcard is set to “update”, the remote server then retrieves a backup card image that corresponds to the card from the card image server. The remote server forwards the backup card image to the PC which, in turn, writes the backup card image including transaction information to the smartcard. Once the backup card image is written onto the smartcard, the indicator in the smartcard is then reset to ensure that subsequent interactions with the system would not initiate an update.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Visa U.S.A.
