==TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING PHYSICAL CARDS STORED IN A PHYSICAL WALLET - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127011 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING PHYSICAL CARDS STORED IN A PHYSICAL WALLET

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes techniques for managing physical cards stored in a wallet using smart technology. Here are some key points from the abstract:

* Smart wallet and smart card are configured to detect physical cards stored within.
* Information associated with physical cards is gathered and stored in the memory of the smart wallet/smart card.
* The smart wallet/smart card can transmit this information to a wireless device for notification of any missing physical cards.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be applied in various industries such as finance, retail, and transportation for managing physical cards securely and efficiently.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of losing physical cards by providing a smart solution to track and detect their presence in a wallet.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, convenience, and peace of mind for users who can easily track and manage their physical cards.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology could be commercialized in the form of smart wallets, smart cards, or mobile applications for individuals and businesses looking to streamline card management processes.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of RFID technology in smart wallets or cards for tracking purposes.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the smart wallet/card differentiate between different physical cards stored within? ===
The smart wallet/card may use unique identifiers or scanning technology to differentiate between different physical cards.

=== What security measures are in place to protect the information stored in the smart wallet/card? ===
The smart wallet/card may have encryption protocols or biometric authentication to secure the stored information from unauthorized access.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

this application sets forth techniques for managing (e.g., tracking or detecting the presence or absence of) physical cards stored in a physical wallet. in particular, the techniques set forth a smart wallet configured to detect the physical cards stored therein, as well as a smart card configured to be inserted into a traditional wallet and to detect the physical cards stored therein. the smart wallet/smart card can be configured to, upon detecting a change to physical cards stored in the smart wallet/traditional wallet, gather information associated with the physical cards and store the information into a memory of the smart wallet/smart card. the smart wallet/smart card can, upon being communicably coupled to a wireless device, transmit the information to the wireless device. subsequently, the wireless device can output a notification indicating any missing physical cards as well as provide remedial options.
