Original Abstract Submitted

A batteryless device is disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the batteryless device may include a first communication system and a second communication system, the second communication system being a near-field-communication (NFC) system. The batteryless device may also include a power receiver coupled to the first communication system and configured to wirelessly receive power from an external device for powering the first communication system. The batteryless device may further include a controller configured to: when the first communication system is powered, establish, via the first communication system, a first wireless connection with a user device; receive, through the first wireless communication, a token from the user device; establish, via the second communication system, a second wireless connection with a terminal; and transmit, through the second wireless connection, the token to the terminal.
