  • Patent number: 11551199
    Abstract: Typically, online payments require entering sensitive transaction information into a third-party web browser or application. This may expose sensitive transaction information to an increased risk of inadvertent disclosure. Apparatus and methods are provided for a smart card which enables users to securely complete online payments without entering any sensitive transaction information into a third-party system. The smart card may include a touch-sensitive screen configured to display selectable payment options. The smart card may include a microprocessor and wireless interface. The wireless interface may provide wireless communication capabilities and the ability to initiate online payments based on information captured by the touch-sensitive screen.

  • Patent number: 11537834
    Abstract: A smart card includes a first circuit delivering a power supply voltage and a second circuit coupled to the first circuit by an electrical conductor and powered with the power supply voltage. A light-emitting diode has a first terminal coupled to the electrical conductor and a second terminal coupled to a first terminal of the second circuit. During a first operating phase, the first circuit delivers a first value of the power supply voltage and the second circuit applies a first voltage to the first terminal. During a second operating phase, the first circuit delivers a second value of the power supply voltage and the second circuit applies a second voltage to the first terminal.

  • Patent number: 11501303
    Abstract: A fraud detection platform may receive transaction data relating to a transaction conducted by a user with a transaction card. The fraud detection platform may receive, from a biometric sensor of the transaction card, biometric data relating to one or more biometric characteristics of the user during the transaction. The fraud detection platform may receive, from an accelerometer of the transaction card, card movement data relating to a measure of shaking of the transaction card by the user during the transaction. The fraud detection platform may process the transaction data, the biometric data, and the card movement data, with a fraud detection model, to determine a fraud score associated with the transaction. The fraud detection platform may perform one or more actions based on the fraud score.

  • Patent number: 11501283
    Abstract: A contactless card useful for adjusting the operation, configuration, and/or performance of a secondary device is described. The contactless card is equipped with a communication interface which allows the contactless card to transmit information to the secondary device using NFC signals. The contactless card stores accommodation information related to a physical accommodation desired by the user and transmits that information in the form of an accommodation message to the secondary device after being placed in a NFC field generated by the secondary device. In some embodiments, the contactless card requests an authentication certificate in order to determine a degree of trust prior to sending an accommodation message. In some embodiments, the contactless card may adjust what accommodation information is included in the accommodation message based on the authentication certificate received from the secondary device.

  • Patent number: 11501281
    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to, among other things, wireless payment readers configured to transition between multiple different power states. In some instances, these power states include one or more relatively low-power states such that an overall battery life of the wireless payment readers are lengthened. Further, in some instances, a point-of-sale (POS) application operating on a POS device that wirelessly couples to an example wireless payment reader may cause the wireless payment reader to transition from one state to another, such as from a first, lower-power state to a second, higher-power state in response to the POS application determining that a payment is to be processed using the wireless payment reader.
