A transaction card includes an anodized card body having a front and rear face. Various information and security features may be provided on the front face and on the rear face. A magnetic stripe may be provided on the rear face of the anodized card body. The magnetic stripe may be adhered within a slot formed within the rear face of the anodized body. Alternatively, the magnetic stripe may be provided via an overlay that is adhered to the rear face of the anodized body, and the magnetic stripe may be integral with the overlay or adhered to the overlay after the overlay is applied to the anodized card body. The transaction card may also include a hologram. The hologram may be integral with the overlay or may be applied to the overlay that has been arranged on the anodized card body.

An electronic module preparation layer (A) and a manufacturing method therefor. The electronic module preparation layer (A) comprises a substrate (10), multiple electronic modules (20) and two release layers (30, 40). The multiple electronic modules (20) are coated in the substrate (10) by means of the two release layers (30, 40) so as to provide a protective effect. When a user needs to input a program code to various electronic modules (20), since one of the release layers, i.e. the release layer (40), is provided with an operation hole (42), a chip (21) and a fingerprint identification element (23) provided on various electronic modules (20) can communicate with the outside, and the user can directly carry out an operation of inputting the program code by means of the electronic module preparation layer (A), thereby effectively improving the defect in the prior art that various electronic modules (20) can easily be bent and damaged when directly inputting into the electronic modules (20), and an electronic module preparation layer (A) is thus provided.

Disclosed is a microcircuit card includes a module for identification within a mobile telephone network storing a first piece of data, and a memory module storing a second piece of data. wherein the first piece of data and the second piece of data comply with a predetermined rule. Also disclosed is a method for verifying this microcircuit card when the card is housed in an electronic device includes a step of verifying that the first piece of data and the second piece of data comply with a predetermined rule, as well as methods for personalizing the microcircuit card, the microcircuit card, and the electronic device are also described.

A system for processing barcode information provided by the user, which may be used to print and encode RFID-enabled product labels. The system may include a bar code scanner or may include a manual bar code entry interface such as a keyboard and mouse, and may be configured to output a label corresponding to a barcode once the barcode has been scanned, optionally with user customization by an operator and optionally including variable data provided through a variable data module. This system may allow for the calculation of EPC values, the tracking of serial values used in the printing process, exporting of the printing history, and printing and encoding of tag.

A wireless tag processing device includes a wireless tag reader-writer and a processor configured to acquire first and second sets of parameter values, control the reader-writer to transmit a radio wave using each parameter value of the first set and acquire a first intensity of a response wave from a wireless tag, when a highest first intensity satisfies a first condition, determine a parameter value of the first set corresponding to the highest intensity as a parameter value to be used by the reader-writer, and when the highest intensity does not satisfy the condition, control the reader-writer to transmit a radio wave using each parameter value of the second set and acquire a second intensity, and when a highest second intensity satisfies a second condition, determine a parameter value of the second set corresponding to the highest second intensity as the parameter value to be used by the reader-writer.

A system, comprising a prepared Near Field Communication (NFC) tag, which has been customized by a business to cause custom websites to pop up on customers' smartphones; a service point, which is a place where a customer will receive service from the business; wherein a customer can waive a smartphone over the prepared NFC tag at a service point; wherein the prepared NFC tag will cause a website to pop up on the smartphone and the customer can enter a request, which will be sent to workers at the business's location; wherein the customer's request is authenticated and hence physical presence verified; wherein workers at the business will receive the request, and will respond to the request at the customer's service point. For example, in a grocery store, the service points are along the aisles, and in a restaurant, the service points are the tables.

The invention relates to a method for producing a support body in a card format, with a graphic customization, that has a surface finishing effect that is more or less smooth, rough, mirrored or matte on the support body. The method includes supplying a support body having a layer of material configured to allow a marking by punching or lamination. The layer is exposed on the main external face and the surface finishing effect is equivalent to that obtained by a step of marking or lamination while not including a step of depositing varnish.

A method for providing remote programming of a supply tag of a print supply used with an authorized entity's card personalization system is provided. The method includes an issuance server authenticating remote programming of the supply tag, receiving first supply tag data of the print supply including a first digital signature, updating the first supply tag data to obtain second supply tag data, and issuing a second digital signature based on the second supply tag data. The second digital signature secures the second supply tag data.
