Definitions

• connection between fingerprint- activated devices may be wireless, USB, or otherwise, e.g. by male or female contact connectors that fit into a portable computing device.
• banking/credit/debit card bearing an RFID or other wireless chip
• an RFID or other wireless reader in/on the connector device.
• the device e.g. an iPad
• an adapter that connects with/interfaces with a cable interface, e.g. at the bottom of this device, or with a wireless interface.
• This adapter device sends a signal to the RFID or other wireless device in/on a transaction card, to read the device's data.
• the adapter device may be fingerprint- activated, as described above.
• a person's pre-captured fingerprint may be an algorithmic representation of the fingerprint, or may be an image of a person's fingerprint that is stored inside the connector device.
• a pre- captured fingerprint, or an algorithmic representation of a fingerprint may be stored on a data card.
• Various kinds of encryption may be used for a stored fingerprint in/on a memory of a connector device, of a computing device, and/or of a data card.
• Other embodiments may include a data card with a person's
• These embodiments may include a smart card with a person's fingerprint stored on the smart card IC, or a data card with a sensor to read a person's fingerprint for biometric authenticated computer login, and a device such as a connector device.
• a device such as a connector device.
• Other embodiments may have such a sensor, a surface IC, and an internal memory. This internal memory may be used, e.g. for medical records.
• Other embodiments may have a fingerprint sensor on the card reader connector, and, instead of the USB connection, an iPad - iPhone connector, for example, or any other kind of connection that may allow a connector device to connect with a computing device.
• fingerprint sensor activated connector cards, and/or fingerprint-activated connector devices should work with EMV cards and data cards.
• a transaction data card may be inserted into a connector/reading device.
• a user touches a fingerprint sensor on the card, or on the connecting device.
• the connecting device may have internal power, e.g. battery power, that provides power to the electronics in/on a data card, and/or in/on the data card reader and, upon fingerprint verification, activates access to data held in a card-reading device and/or in a card.
• a card reading device or a data card's internal power supply allows for fingerprint verification while a connector device or data card is unattached/unconnected to a computing device.
• Some data cards with an inbuilt fingerprint sensor may also have a display screen built into the surface of the data card. Accessing a patient's medical history, for example, stored on the device and/or a data card may be controlled by fingerprint verification.
• Two or more of such cards may also be configured to communicate wirelessly with one another, or to transfer funds between them upon user activation of sender and recipient cards. Such transfers may also take place between a card and a mobile device, or between two mobile devices that can connect to such cards.
• Figures 4 shows connector 72 for use with data card 73 and computing device 74.
• Card 73 may include fingerprint sensor 75, or, alternatively, computing device 74 may include fingerprint sensor 76.
• Device 74 may also include imaging camera 77.
• a person's photograph and fingerprint may be stored on connector 72 or on computing device 74, and a match with both a user's fingerprint and photograph must occur to allow access to data on card 73, connector 72, or both.
• a user's fingerprint, photograph, or both may be stored on computing device 74, connector 72 or card 73.
