Systems and methods provided herein may include a card replacement system. The system may include an automated teller machine in data communication with a server. The automated teller machine may include an input device; a processor; a replacement card storage containing at least one replacement card, wherein the at least one replacement cards may include a magnetic stripe and a chip; a magnetic stripe writer; a chip writer; and an embossing device. The processor may be configured to: receive a replacement card request via the input device; request replacement card information from the server; encode replacement card information onto the replacement card using the magnetic stripe writer and the chip writer; and emboss user information onto the replacement card using the embossing device.

In a card reader, an interfering magnetic field generation mechanism 11 includes a core part 14a, a core part 14b, and a core part 15a, each of which is formed of soft magnetic material in a straight line, a coil 16 that is wound around the core part 14a, a coil 17 that is connected to the coil 16 in series and is wound around the core part 14b, a coil 18 that is wound around the core part 15a, a first drive circuit that supplies alternating current to the coils 16 and 17, and a second drive circuit that supplies alternating current to the coil 18. The core part 15a is disposed between the core part 14a and the core part 14b. The core part 15a is formed independently of the core parts 14a and 14b, and is separated from the core parts 14a and 14b.

A system and computer-implemented method for detecting and addressing billing fraud by an asserted provider of a good or service based on location data associated with card-based financial transactions by an asserted recipient and collected, stored, analyzed, and acted on by a payment card network to determine and respond to a likelihood of fraud. A computer stores locations of the recipient based on uses of a payment card over a time period, and determines a location of the provider based on location data associated with a card reader at a particular time at which the good or service was allegedly provided. The computer compares the two locations for the particular time and generates a fraud score based on a likelihood that the recipient was physically capable of being at the provider location at the particular time, and based on the score, may notify the recipient and decline the payment request.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions causing a processor to generate a menu displaying representations of a plurality of cards, the cards having associated card data; receive, from a user input device, a selection corresponding to a selected one of the cards; update the menu to display a representation of the selection; and authorize transmission of the card data associated with the selected card to complete a transaction.

A reader device for reading information stored on a magnetic strip containing a plurality of polarized magnets, each providing a magnetic flux, said reader device including: a magnetoresistive sensor including a plurality of magnetoresistive elements and configured for reading the information stored on the magnetic strip and outputting a read signal; a processing module configured for decoding the read signal and extracting binary data; wherein the read signal includes amplitude information of the magnetic flux; and wherein the processing module is further configured for decoding the read signal using the amplitude information of the read signal is described. Further, an amplitude decoding method for decoding the read signal outputted by the reader device is described.

An information processing apparatus includes a first reader electrically reading a first information in a non-contact manner; a second reader electrically or magnetically reading a second information; a touch panel electrically detecting the contact or proximity of an object; and a CPU electrically connected to the first reader, the second reader, and the touch panel. The CPU exclusively controls an ON/OFF of the first reading function of the first reader and an ON/OFF of the input detection function of the touch panel, based on a detection that the communication medium is placed in a predetermined position with respect to the first reader or a detection that the card is placed in a predetermined position with respect to the second reader.

Provided are a disturbing magnetic field generator and a card reader capable of suppressing the generation of noise caused by vibration of a core. A disturbing magnetic field generator that generates a disturbing magnetic field for disturbing unauthorized reading of magnetic data recorded on a card includes a coil to generate the disturbing magnetic field, a bobbin including a tubular body part in which the coil is wound on an outer peripheral side, and a core disposed inside the tubular body part. A first gap is provided between the tubular body part and the core.

The invention relates to a laboratory device, in particular to a peristaltic pump, having an accessory part, in particular a pump head, that is removably arranged at the laboratory device; and having an apparatus for an automatic recognition of the accessory part from a plurality of accessory parts, in particular mutually different pump heads, removably arrangeable at the laboratory device, wherein the recognition apparatus has a coding at the accessory side and a detection unit for detecting the coding at the laboratory device side.

A technique for tamper protection of incoming data signal to an electronic device is disclosed. An intentional interference signal is generated and modulated onto the incoming data signal as one composite input signal, to prevent unauthorized acquisition of valid data from the incoming data signal. The magnitude of the interference signal is adjusted to correspond to the magnitude of the incoming data signal, thereby preventing an attacker from properly differentiating the two different signals and/or decoding the valid data from the composite input signal. Once the composite input signal is safely received within the device, the interference signal can be filtered out in either analog mode or digital mode.

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for processing electronic payments for customer purchases. In some implementations, a mobile computing device receives a payment request identifying a sales transaction between a merchant and a customer. The payment request indicates a purchase amount owed by the customer to the merchant, and carries a set of instructions. The mobile computing device activates a card reader based at least in part on the set of instructions, receives customer authorization for electronic payment of the purchase amount, instructs the card reader to process a credit card for the purchase amount based on receiving the customer authorization, and receives confirmation of payment of the purchase amount from the card reader.
