TRANSACTION CARD WITH DISPLACEABLE BEADS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18098958 titled 'TRANSACTION CARD WITH DISPLACEABLE BEADS

The patent application describes approaches for providing card information in a highly secure and convenient manner.

A transaction card is designed with a first main side and a second main side, with a first outer layer along the first main side and an internal layer adjacent to it.
Visual features are provided on the internal layer, enhancing the security of the card.
The card includes a carrier with a plurality of beads positioned between the internal layer and the first outer layer.
When a force is applied to the first main side of the card, one or more beads of the plurality of beads are displaced, adding an extra layer of security.

Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are approaches for providing card information in a highly secure and convenient manner. In some approaches, a transaction card may include a body having a first main side opposite a second main side, wherein a first outer layer extends along the first main side, and an internal layer adjacent the first outer layer, wherein one or more visual features are provided on the internal layer. The transaction card may further include a plurality of beads within a carrier, wherein the plurality of beads and the carrier are positioned between the internal layer and the first outer layer, wherein a force applied to the first main side of the body displaces one or more beads of the plurality of beads.
