A payment card (e.g., credit and/or debit card) is provided with a magnetic emulator operable of communicating information to a magnetic stripe reader. Information used in validating a financial transaction is encrypted based on time such that a validating server requires receipt of the appropriate encrypted information for a period of time to validate a transaction for that period of time. Such dynamic information may be communicated using such an emulator such that a card may be swiped through a magnetic stripe readeryet communicate different information based on time. An emulator may receive information as well as communicate information to a variety of receivers (e.g., an RFID receiver).

Advanced payment applications are provided to improve the functionality of cards and devices. For example, a user interface may be placed on a card (e.g., a physical button) or a telephonic device (e.g., a virtual button on a capacitive touch screen). Manual input provided to this user interface may, for example, cause an item purchased on credit to be paid via one or more user accounts (e.g., bank accounts) as soon as the next credit statement posts or becomes due. A user may decide to pay for an item when the next statement becomes due at a point-of-sale magnetic stripe reader by using an interface on a card to cause information to be communicated through the infrastructure indicative of a user's desire to pay the for an item when the next statement becomes due.

The present invention relates to the field of bank card security and specifically discloses a bank card with RFID counterfeit security and its verification method. The bank card includes a RFID tag, an IC chip, an antenna, and a magnetic stripe. The antenna is coupled to a pad in the IC chip; a tag antenna is installed in the RFID tag; the bank card has a card number, and the card number is stored in both IC chip and magnetic stripe. The verification method includes the steps of: binding the unique identification number of the RFID tag, a card number, and data stored in the IC chip and/or the magnetic stripe; uploading the bound data to an authentication server; reading the data of the bank card to be verified; matching and verifying the read data and the bound data.

The label creating device is configured to image the article and generate code information including first characteristic information indicating a characteristic of the article and first identification information associated with the article. The label creating device is configured to create the label on which the code information is printed. The information device is configured to image the article and the code information, to extract the first characteristic information and the first identification information from the code information, to analyze the characteristic of the article, to generate the second characteristic information, and to acquire the second identification information used for determining the first identification information. The information device is configured to determine whether the first characteristic information and the second characteristic information match each other, and whether the first identification information and the second identification information match each other.

A card is provided, such as a credit card or security card, that may transmit information to a magnetic stripe reader via a magnetic emulator. The emulator may transmit the information in order to reduce the amount of circuitry needed to emulate a particular block of information. Additionally, for example, one or more buttons may be included on the card. Buttons may be includes, for example, to provide a control interface to navigate through various options of the card. Additionally, coding schemes may be selected via buttons. Furthermore, a card may be locked until a private number is entered into a card or a number may only be generated (e.g., displayed and/or emulated) once a particular private number is entered into a card.

A transaction card package assembly comprising at least one transaction card, at least one sample product, and a card holder, and methods and system for processing the same.

A method and system for communicating estimated blood loss parameters of a patient to a user, the method comprising: receiving data representative of an image, of a fluid receiver; automatically detecting a region within the image associated with a volume of fluid received at the fluid receiver, the volume of fluid including a blood component; calculating an estimated amount of the blood component present in the volume of fluid based upon a color parameter represented in the region, and determining a bias error associated with the estimated amount of the blood component; updating an analysis of an aggregate amount of the blood component and an aggregate bias error associated with blood loss of the patient, based upon the estimated amount of the blood component and the bias error; and providing information from the analysis of the aggregate amount of the blood component and the aggregate bias error, to the user.

The present invention provides a system and accompanying method determining the spatial relationships of physical objects, including multiple physical objects, a reader antenna and a processor. Each physical object has a first surface, a second surface parallel to the first surface, one or more RFID tags, and one or more relay antennas. A first RFID tag is placed on the interior surface of the first surface, a second RFID tag is placed on the interior surface of the second surface, and a first relay antenna is located between the first surface and the second surface. The processor is configured to direct the reader antenna to detect the RFID tags. Once the first physical object is placed above the reader antenna, with the first surface of the first physical object facing the reader antenna, the reader antenna is configured to detect the first RFID tag of the first physical object. And once the second physical object is placed above the first physical object, with the first surface of the second physical object facing the second surface of the first physical object, the reader antenna is configured to further detect the second RFID tag of the first physical object and the first RFID tag of the second physical object.

A payment card (e.g., credit and/or debit card) or other card or device (e.g., mobile telephone) is provided with a magnetic emulator operable to communicate data to a magnetic stripe read-head. User interfaces are provided in a number of different configurations in order to achieve a number of different functionalities.
