Patent number: 9697452Abstract: An adapter and methods of using the adapter for communicating a personal electronic device to a smart card reader are disclosed. The adapter comprises a processor, a contact/contactless smartcard chip, an antenna and a power supply unit. The processor is adapted to exchange data with the personal electronic device, wherein that data is modulated on the audio signals. The processor is also adapted to exchange data with the smartcard chip, wherein the smartcard chip is adapted to communicate with the contactless smart card reader via the antenna. A method for enabling a personal electronic device to communicate with a contactless smart card reader via audio signals is also disclosed. The method comprises providing an adapter. The adapter comprises a processor, a contact/contactless smartcard chip, an antenna and a power supply unit. The method also comprises exchanging data between the personal electronic device and the processor.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: On Track Innovations Ltd.Inventors: Nehemya Itay, Nir Gazit, Yaacov Haroosh
