Abstract
Abstract The smart card drive of the present invention includes a smart card device having a microprocessor and a smart card adapter serially connected to a local, dedicated modular computer circuit having a network interface circuit. The combination of these components creates a smart card drive that is able to initiate a network connection and communicate with any peer node in a local area network also equipped with a network interface circuit and network listening software.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A self actuating peripheral device for communicating across a network with a server and the self actuating peripheral device comprising: a first transaction serial device initiating a transaction based on a change of state; a serial client transaction processor coupled with said first transaction serial device and said serial client transaction processor responsive to the initiation of the transaction to send a transaction initiation request and said serial client transaction processor further responsive to a serial read message request to send the serial data message; and a network transport processor coupled with said serial client transaction processor and said network transport processor responsive to the transaction initiation request to establish a connection across the network with the server and the network transport processor further responsive to a read request from the server to send a serial translation of the read request to said serial client transaction processor and to convert the serial data message from said serial client transaction processor to a network message to the server.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
167 words
A self actuating peripheral device for communicating across a network with a server and the self actuating peripheral device comprising: a first transaction serial device initiating a transaction based on a change of state; a serial client transaction processor coupled with said first transaction serial device and said serial client transaction processor responsive to the initiation of the transaction to send a transaction initiation request and said serial client transaction processor further responsive to a serial read message request to send the serial data message; and a network transport processor coupled with said serial client transaction processor and said network transport processor responsive to the transaction initiation request to establish a connection across the network with the server and the network transport processor further responsive to a read request from the server to send a serial translation of the read request to said serial client transaction processor and to convert the serial data message from said serial client transaction processor to a network message to the server.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The self-actuating peripheral device as recited in claim 1 , wherein said first transaction serial device includes responsiveness to insertion of a smart card to initiate the transaction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
The self-actuating peripheral device as recited in claim 2 , further comprising: a second transaction serial device coupled with said serial client transaction processor and initiating a transaction including a verification of a biometric parameter of a user based the read request from the server.
