SECURE COUNTLESS PAYMENT METHOD AND DEVICE WITH MOVEMENT-ACTIVATED ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457094 titled 'SECURE COUNTLESS PAYMENT METHOD AND DEVICE WITH MOVEMENT-ACTIVATED ELECTRONIC CIRCUITRY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a contactless payment device that includes a wireless communication device, a power source, a processor, an accelerometer, and an actuator. The actuator is responsible for activating or deactivating the wireless communication device based on its state.

  • The actuator activates the wireless communication device when it is in a closed state and deactivates it when it is in an open state.
  • The processor receives signals from the accelerometer and determines if the signal corresponds to a pre-programmed enabling gesture.
  • If the incoming signal matches the enabling gesture, the actuator is set in the closed state for a specific time interval.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Contactless payment systems
  • Access control systems
  • Smart locks
  • Wearable devices

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Prevents accidental activation or deactivation of the wireless communication device
  • Enhances security by requiring a specific gesture to enable or disable the device

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience by providing a simple and intuitive way to enable or disable the device
  • Increased security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access or use
  • Energy efficiency by automatically deactivating the wireless communication device when not in use


Original Abstract Submitted

A contactless payment device including a wireless communication device; a power source; a processor coupled to the power source; an accelerometer communicatively coupled to the processor and the power source; and an actuator communicatively coupled to the wireless communication device and the processor. The actuator is configured to activate the wireless communication device when the actuator is set in a closed state, and deactivate the wireless communication device when the actuator is set in an open state, The processor is configured to receive an incoming signal from the accelerometer; determine whether the incoming signal corresponds to a pre-programmed signal corresponding to an enabling gesture; and set the actuator in the dosed state for a time interval, when the incoming signal corresponds to the enabling gesture.
