A method, apparatus and computer program product are disclosed. The method includes determining user information, generating a virtual card that is bound to a payment application and has a mapping relationship to a bank card, and acquiring a first parameter that includes information to verify transaction validity. The apparatus includes a communication interface, and a processor that determines user information, generates a virtual card that is bound to a payment application and has a mapping relationship to a bank card, and acquires a first parameter that includes information to verify transaction validity. The computer program product includes a computer readable storage medium that stores code to determine user information, generate a virtual card that is bound to a payment application and has a mapping relationship to a bank card, and acquires a first parameter that includes information to verify transaction validity.

A transaction processing system for sending user information data to a personal device, and an associated method are provided. The system comprises: a personal device, such as a balance display card; an interface device, such as a card reader for transmitting data to and from the card; a communications network connecting to the interface device; an issuer processor connected to the communications network; and a trusted network processor (TNP) processor connected to the communications network, interposed between the interface device and the issuer processor. The TNP processor is arranged to receive a transaction request message from a card user and to transmit a response message back to the personal device, the response message typically being a transaction authorization together with information for display on the card. The TNP processor is arranged to identify, dependent on properties of the transaction request message, whether the associated response message will require data to be sent to the user information device, and if so identified, to: route the transaction request message to the issuer processor using a standard message; receive the required data from the issuer processor using another standard message; match the received required data to the original request; generate an appropriate response message and script containing the required data; and transmit the response message back to the personal device thereby making the required information known to the user.

This invention is a comprehensive “Dynamic Security Code” (“DSC”) System (“DSC System”) that can change the security code of a prepaid, debit, or credit card (“Payment Card”). In an effort to thwart Card-Not-Present (“CNP”) fraud, the DSC System provides dynamic security code values (“DSC Values”) that have a limited use. The DSC Values provided by this DSC System can be calculated by various methodologies and can be used within existing standard payment card infrastructures. The DSC System can also be used with other form factors and in other environments not related to payments such as balance inquiries. The DSC Values can be calculated by a DSC Generator Server or on the card itself.

A payment card (e.g., credit and/or debit card) or other device (e.g., mobile telephone) is provided with a magnetic emulator operable to communicate data to a magnetic stripe read-head. Gift cards may be inputted by a user into such a payment card or other device such that a user can combine gift cards. Similarly, a user be provided with a global payment account that can be utilized in multiple countries that have different standards for formatting data. A user may be provided with a default country (e.g., United States) but may have a way to select that the user is in a different country (e.g., Japan). Accordingly, a user may select that a Japanese data structure be transmitted through a magnetic stripe reader when the user is in Japan.

Provided is an antenna module package including a substrate, a wireless card payment antenna structure mounted on the substrate and including a first antenna chip and wireless card payment matching elements electrically connected to the first antenna chip, a near field communication (NFC) antenna structure mounted on the substrate, sharing the first antenna chip, and including an extended NFC antenna loop and NFC matching elements electrically connected to the first antenna chip, and a wireless charging antenna structure mounted on the substrate and including a second antenna chip, and an extended wireless charging antenna loop and wireless charging matching elements electrically connected to the second antenna chip.

A transaction card is provided comprising a card body comprising a metallic material, the card body including a primary surface, a secondary surface, an aperture and a slit, wherein the primary surface and the secondary surface are coated with a diamond like carbon (DLC) coating.

Systems and methods for overmolding a card are provided. A chip fraud prevention system include a device including a chip and a substrate. The chip may be at least partially encompassed in a chip pocket, and the substrate may be at least partially encompassed by the overmold.

Various switchable RFID devices are disclosed. These switchable RFID devices may include one or more RFID tags and one or more switches. Some of these one or more switches are optionally wireless. In various embodiments, the switchable RFID devices include cellular phones, security devices, identity devices, financial devices, remote controls, and the like. The switchable RFID devices are optionally disposed in a cellular phone.

The present disclosure describes a smart card that determines a context associated with the smart card and displays information based on the determined context. The smart card may determine a location of the smart card. Based on the determined location, the smart card may retrieve a list of establishments. The list of establishments may be used to determine a context, for example, based on information related to the establishments, historical information, user information, etc. Once the context is determined, the smart card may select information to display on the smart card. By limiting the information displayed on the smart card, the smart card may limit what can be captured by bad actors, thereby improving the security of the smart cards.
