The invention relates to an enabling card as well as a system and method for completing a financial transaction in a P.O.S. terminal comprising: a processor carried by the enabling card for: establishing a connection with a mobile device; receiving secure information from a mobile device and generating a digital signal; a coil carried by the enabling card for generating a magnetic field in response to the digital signal to simulate the swipe of card in the P.O.S. terminal and complete the financial transaction.

Various embodiments are generally directed to copying data to a clipboard of a mobile device from a contactless card using NFC. A mobile device may issue a request to read data from the contactless card. The contactless card may generate encrypted data in response to the request. The mobile device may receive the encrypted data via NFC and transmit the encrypted data to a server for verification. The server may verify the encrypted data and transmit an indication of an account number for the contactless card to the mobile device. The mobile device may then copy the account number to a clipboard of the mobile device.

Various embodiments for contextual tapping engines. For example, an application executing on a computing device may authenticate credentials associated with an account and detect a tap of a contactless card to the computing device. The application may receive, from a communications interface of the contactless card, action data used to determine an action associated with the tap of the contactless card to the computing device. The application may determine a context of the application based on a current output of the application. The application may determine, based on the action data, the determined context, and data associated with the account, a first action associated with the tap of the contactless card to the computing device, the first action associated with at least one of the application and an operating system (OS). The application may initiate performance of the first action based on the tap of the contactless card.

Various embodiments are generally directed to copying data to a clipboard of a mobile device from a contactless card using NFC. A mobile device may issue a request to read data from the contactless card. The contactless card may generate encrypted data in response to the request. The mobile device may receive the encrypted data via NFC and transmit the encrypted data to a server for verification. The server may verify the encrypted data and transmit an indication of an account number for the contactless card to the mobile device. The mobile device may then copy the account number to a clipboard of the mobile device.

An electronic system provides various features and functionality for managing resources. An alert may be sent when a mobile device crosses a geo-fence. The alert may describe how much of the resource is available for the types of transaction that are likely to occur within the geo-fence. The alert may request or confirm the allocation of the transaction to a resource pool or suggest alternative transactions.

Example embodiments of systems and methods for data transmission in a contactless card and client application are provided. The contactless card comprises a visual display, processor, and a memory which includes a first applet, unique identifier, and value. A client application comprises instructions for execution on a client device, and is in data communication with the contactless card via one or more communication fields. The contactless card may display the value, the unique identifier, and a first status on the visual display. The first applet may transmit data to the client application in response to one or more gestures by the contactless card within at least one of the fields. The client application may authenticate the received data. The contactless card may update the display via the one or more fields based on the authenticated data, and change the first status to a second status based on the updated display.

A portable device is provided. The portable device may include a display; an input device; a camera; a processor coupled to the display, the input device, and the camera; and a computer readable medium coupled to the processor, the computer readable medium comprising code, executable by the processor, to implement a method comprising: receiving authentication data from the input device, determining whether the received authentication data matches authentication data associated with an authorized user, and displaying, on the display, a credential, an item, and data associated with the item.

An intelligent payment card carrying system for monitoring the presence of a payment card includes a cardholder computing device and a payment card receptacle for receiving the payment card. The cardholder computing device includes a first transceiver for communicating with the payment card receptacle. The payment card receptacle includes a controller having a wireless communication device and a second transceiver. The second transceiver includes NFC-enabled circuitry. The controller communicates wirelessly with the cardholder computing device via the wireless communication device, and with the payment card via the second transceiver to transfer payment card data.

The present disclosure provides an electronic badge and a housing for the same. The housing includes: a rear case defining a main board cavity, and formed with a display opening in communication with the main board cavity and a profile card receiving slot located outside the main board cavity; and a front case detachably disposed on the rear case to enclose the profile card receiving slot or both the display opening and the profile card receiving slot, a portion of the front case opposite the profile card receiving slot or both the display opening and the profile card receiving slot being made of a transparent material.

An embodiment of the present invention is directed to systems and methods for securing contactless cards from unauthorized payments, including card cloning attacks. An embodiment of the present invention provides a password at the time of usage of the card to decrypt the data contained in the card at the time when the user is initiating a transaction. In this exemplary illustration, card data may be encrypted at rest, and decrypted at the time of use. Other variations may include a switchable antenna that is disabled at rest and enabled during a transaction.
