Typically, online payments require entering sensitive transaction information into a third-party web browser or application. This may expose sensitive transaction information to an increased risk of inadvertent disclosure. Apparatus and methods are provided for a smart card which enables users to securely complete online payments without entering any sensitive transaction information into a third-party system. The smart card may include a touch-sensitive screen configured to display selectable payment options. The smart card may include a microprocessor and wireless interface. The wireless interface may provide wireless communication capabilities and the ability to initiate online payments based on information captured by the touch-sensitive screen.

Wait times at ATMs may undermine the utility of these self-service machines. ATMs are configured to provide faster self-service kiosks that allow users to quickly perform common financial transactions. However, it has been increasing common for users to have to wait on a line to access an ATM. Apparatus and methods are provided for a smart card that stages transactions by capturing the amount, pin and other necessary information on the smart card itself, before the user begins interacting with the ATM. Information captured by the smart card may be transferred to ATM when the smart card is inserted into ATM. The user does not provide the ATM with any additional information after inserted the smart card into the ATM, thereby improving the transaction processing efficiency of the ATM and enhancing user satisfaction.

A mounting base for use with a wirelessly locatable tag may include a base portion defining a latching member configured to engage a wirelessly locatable tag to releasably retain the wirelessly locatable tag to the mounting base, a contact block attached to the base portion and configured to be positioned at least partially within a battery cavity of the wirelessly locatable tag, the contact block defining a top side and a peripheral side. The mounting base may further include a first conductive member positioned along the peripheral side of the contact block and configured to contact a first battery contact in the battery cavity of the wirelessly locatable tag, a second conductive member outwardly biased from the top side of the contact block, the second conductive member configured to contact a second battery contact in the battery cavity of the tag, and a power cable coupled to the base portion.

A device includes a first inductor and a second inductor. The first inductor has a first inductive coupling profile. A first circuit component is coupled to the first inductor. A second inductor has a second inductive coupling profile. A second circuit component coupled to the second inductor.

An RFID tag reading system arranged to by carried by an operator while the operator's hands and arms remain free to accomplish tasks, the system including an RFID reader and a computer interconnected to the reader to control functions the reader and receive data generated by the reader, the computer being responsive to word commands from the operator to effectuate different functions of the reader.

This application relates to a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag module. In one aspect, the RFID tag module may have a temperature/humidity logging function that can log temperature and humidity inside a box, based on an RFID tag, to stably manage the quality of a product contained in the box. The RFID tag module may be installed in the box in which the product is packed. The RFID tag module may include a temperature/humidity sensor detecting a temperature/humidity inside the box in which the product is packed. The RFID tag module may also include an RFID tag logging the temperature/humidity detected by the temperature/humidity sensor.
