  • Patent number: 10291447
    Abstract: During the contactless transfer of the data from PICC (1) to PCD (4) with the load modulation within PICC (1) the analog signal between the transmitting antenna (3) and the output of the driver (2) is demodulated. From the demodulated output the digital data are generated for the direction of the subsequent modification of the signal led to the PICC (1) antenna set. The digital data gather from the demodulated signal are used for the amplification and/or attenuation of the signal received on the side of the PCD (4) and/or for synchronization or other modification of the signal on the side of the PICC (1), whereby no further modification of the driver (2) is needed. The connection on the LA, LB outputs appears to the driver (2) by its characteristics, mainly by its impedance, in the same way as the connected antenna (3) of the original connection according to the prior state of the art.

  • Publication number: 20180278293
    Abstract: The emitter is designed for creation of the contactless communication channel (mainly RFID/NFC) in the miniature build space. The emitter has oblong, at least partially ferrite core (1); the conductor (4) with at least three threads (2) is wound on the core (1).

The conductor (4) of the thread is flat or the winding includes multiple conductors (41 to 4N) led in parallel close to each other and forming a multi-degree thread (2). The core has an oblong longitudal cross-section where the width of the cross-section of the core (1) is at least 3 times the height of the cross-section of the core (1) and the length of the core (1) is at least 10 times the height of the cross-section of the core (1).

  • Patent number: 9946967
    Abstract: A temporary carrier of a removable memory card (2) is in the shape of a flat card (1), where the removable memory card (2) forms an element to be released from the flat card body (1). The removable memory card (2) has at least five additional contacts (4) for temporary usage before the removable memory card is removed from the flat card (1) body. The additional contacts (4) take up a smaller surface as a contact field (5) of a standardized flat card (1). The removable memory card (2) is located within the flat card (1) in such a way that the position of additional contacts (4) corresponds to the position of a standardized flat card (1) contact field (5). The suitable sixth additional switch contact (8) can be used to switch secure elements. The temporary carrier is inserted into a standard burning device, which operates with it in the same way as it would with a common card with a contact field (5).

  • Patent number: 9742468
    Abstract: The method and solution can be mainly used for data transmission in cashless payment applications, especially those realized from the mobile phone while using RFID and/or NFC platform. The signals with different frequency are combined in antenna system (M) of the receiver (1) and transmitter (2) and then the carrier signal is separated from the result of the combined signals and the transmitted data are demodulated. The difference between the frequencies has a value, that corresponds to the size of the subcarrier frequency to which the receiver (1) is preset. During transmission the transformer connection coefficient can have the value k=0.2-0.001, while the antenna (3) of the receiver (2) is tuned narrowly to the transmitter's (2) frequency without considering the subcarrier frequency. The transmitter is preferably located on a memory card or on a card with a format and interface of a memory card, e.g. micro SD.

  • Patent number: 9590305
    Abstract: The emitter is intended to provide a contactless communication channel (particularly RFID/NFC) in miniature build space. The emitter has an oblong, at least partially ferrite core (1), the core (1) is winded up by a wire (4) with at least two threads (2), the threads (2) are on the core (1) placed tightly next to each other and the effective width (w)of one thread (2) corresponds to the radius of the core (1) in the circular core (1) cross-section, or corresponds to the equivalent radius in other shapes of the core (1) with deviation up to +?75%. The wire (4) of the coil is flat, or the coil includes several wires held parallel to each other (41 to 4N) forming a multi-stage thread. The emitter can be placed in the removable memory card (5) and/or on the PCB board (10) and/or SIM card (9) and/or battery (11). Modulation of data transmitted by the emitter uses electromagnetic wave generator with a frequency different from the receiver, difference of these frequencies corresponds to the subcarrier frequency.

  • Patent number: 9098845
    Abstract: The process encompasses the communication between trade system accessible over GUI of the mobile communication device (4), when after the item being purchased is selected, the acquirer's (12) identification is loaded from the removable memory card (1). The acquirer's (12) identification is sent to the trade system's (2) headquarters, where after it is approved, the transaction payment parameters are created and these enter the removable memory card (1) as an initiator of the payment terminal application. The payment terminal application runs on the removable memory card (1) and it creates a payment cryptogram. This one is sent into the trade system's (2) headquarters, where it can be handled as a common cryptogram of usual POS terminals. The process can encompass even a preparation and pre-preparation phase, thanks to which corresponding applications of individual participants of the system are installed, configured and activated.

  • Patent number: 9081997
    Abstract: The communication method with the POS terminal that improves transmission characteristics of the authorized payment from the mobile communication device (9) is based upon a fact that the frequency converter (1) on that side of the communication channel where the POS terminals NFC antenna (8) is. The frequency converter (1) receives and processes the signal from the POS terminals NFC antenna (8) on the 13.56 MHz frequency, sends it on a higher frequency into the mobile communication device (9) and vice versa. The frequency converter (1) is outwardly energetically passive and is power supplied from the electromagnetic field received from the POS terminals antenna (8). The frequency converter (1) contains an antenna, tuned to the frequency in the range of 13.00 to 14.00 MHz, that is connected to the power supply element (4). The frequency converter (1) is located in the proximity of the POS terminal's antenna.

  • Patent number: 8737983
    Abstract: When processing repeated operations on the keyboard of a mobile communication device, mainly at direct debits, used is a separate data carrier with a memory in which is stored at least one file with a sequence of keyboard orders of a macro type. Data carrier is energetically supplied contact-free by electromagnetic field of the mobile communication device while receiving the requiring order and, according to this order, chooses from the memory and encodes appropriate file with a sequence of keyboard orders. Data carrier sends the encoded file into the mobile communication device which decodes the received file and performs processes representing the keystrokes according to the sequence of keyboard orders. The invention also describes connection and data carrier to perform above described method where the data carrier consists of a processor, transmitting and receiving unit, block for transforming electromagnetic field and a memory to store a file of orders.

  • Patent number: 8500008
    Abstract: A method of electronic payment transaction is characterized by the fact that during processing of one payment transaction, a communication link (3) between the card (1) and the terminal (2) is interrupted and the ARPC answering file is received to the card (1) after the original communication link (5) is interrupted. Two phases are separated by a reset of the card (1) where in the second phase initial payment data (ARQC) are used. Electronically signed ARQC payment file is stored in the card's (1) memory for at least until the corresponding time ARPC answering file is of received and processed. The solution enables to place the mobile phone with a payment card (1) near to the terminal's (2) reader twice. The first time, a request for on-line authorization is generated and during the second touch the information from the payment processor (5) is recorded into the payment application.
