The present disclosure provides a card shaped mobile payment device, which includes a card shaped casing and an offline payment execution module configured for executing an offline payment operation and disposed in the card shaped casing. The offline payment execution module includes a display module, a security chip, an antenna unit and a central control unit. The display module is used for displaying card information; the security chip is used for generating a token information, which is time-sensitive, and executing a transaction procedure. The antenna unit is electrically connected to the security chip for providing the token information to a transaction device. The central control unit activates the security chip according to a received identity authentication result, and provides a card index information corresponding to the card information to the security chip, so as to access a stored card credential and generate the token information.

According to an embodiment, a portable electronic device that executes a command from a host device includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor acquires biometric information. The processor causes the sensor to acquire first biometric information for generating a template used for authentication, and after the first biometric information is acquired, causes the sensor to acquire second biometric information used for generating the template. Where the similarity between the first biometric information and the second biometric information exceeds a first threshold value, the processor outputs a signal indicating that the second biometric information is inappropriate for use as biometric information for generating the template.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a user device. A fingerprint sensor can be located adjacent to electrical contacts. As a result, both the fingerprint sensor and the electrical contacts can be directly connected to an underlying memory within the user device. The direct connection allows the user device to be free of wires.
