Abstract

Abstract A smart card device (10) including a portable housing (11) with a viewing aperture (25) and a virtual image display (30) positioned to provide an image at the aperture (25) of information contained on a smart card (13) as well as transactions processed in response to data transmitted by a transceiver (17) between a host database (96) and the smart card device (10). A sensor (15) in the housing (11) constructed to have the smart card (13) with data stored thereon positioned adjacent thereto in data sensing juxtaposition and electronics (16) mounted in the housing (11) and connected to the sensor (15) for processing data between the host database (96) and the smart card device (10), the electronics (16) further connected to the sensing structure (15) for reading and writing data thereto, the communications transceiver (17) for transmitting and receiving data between the smart card device (10) and the host database (96), and the virtual image display (30) for supplying image data.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 212 words
A portable smart card device characterized by: a portable housing (11) including a viewing aperture (39); a visual image display (14) mounted in the portable housing (11) and positioned to provide an image for viewing at the viewing aperture (39), the visual image display (14) including a data input terminal (94) designed to receive image data thereon; sensor structure (15) mounted in the portable housing (11) and constructed to have a smart card (13) having data stored thereon positioned adjacent thereto in data sensing juxtaposition, the sensor structure (15) including an input terminal (83) and an output terminal (83) for reading and writing data to the smart card (13); electronics (16) mounted in the portable housing (11) and connected to the input terminal (83) and the output terminal (83) of the sensor structure (15) for receiving, processing and transmitting data between a host database (96) and the smart card device (10) and further connected to the input terminal (94) of the visual image display (14) for supplying image data thereto in response to the data; and a transceiver (17) mounted in the portable housing (11) and connected to the electronics (16) for receiving and transmitting data between the electronics (16) of the portable smart card device (10) and the host database (96).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 37 words
