Abstract: Augmented reality is implemented to display private data on a card device that does not include actual visible private data. The card device includes a wireless communication mechanism that is configured to communicate card device and/or user-identifying data to a mobile communication device in possession of a user. The mobile communication device includes an application that is configured to receive the card device and/or user-identifying data and verify that the user is a rightful possessor/owner of the card device. Once the user has been verified and, in some embodiments, authenticated, the application launches the image capturing device on the mobile communication device and an image is captured of either the front facing or the back facing of the card device. Consequently, the application presents an augmented reality display that includes the private data superimposed in augmented reality form on the captured image.

Abstract: A private data-less card device that enables augmented reality display of the private data on the card device. Characteristic of the private data-less card neither the front nor back facings of the card device have any private data used to initiate a resource event physically displayed thereon. The card device includes a wireless communication mechanism configured to wirelessly communicate at least one of card device-identifying data and user-identifying data to a mobile communication device to enable an augmented reality display of the private data superimposed over an image of the facing of the card device.

Abstract: Implementing augmented reality to display recovery and/or security options on a private data-less card device (i.e., card device that does not include private data visible on a card facing) that has been misplaced. A card device includes a wireless communication mechanism that is configured to communicate card device and/or user-identifying data to a mobile communication device in possession of a user that includes an application configured to verify that the user is not a rightful possessor/owner of the card device based on the card device and/or user-identifying data. In response, the application launches the image capturing device on the mobile communication device and an image is captured of either the front facing or the back facing of the card device. Consequently, the application presents an augmented reality display that includes activatable links superimposed in augmented reality form on the captured image of either the front facing or the back facing of the card device.
