Key Characteristics & Benefits
Patents in this portfolio disclose the following:
-- A secure, cost-effective, user-friendly system for enabling wireless
transactions - such as mobile payments. The disclosed system is secure,
easy to use, cost effective, and can easily integrate with various
wireless communication devices without requiring additional components.
-- An interface assembly that can attach a range of input devices. The
attachment can include a processor and one or more input devices, such
as a magnetic stripe card reader, fingerprint scanner, and a proximity
detector.
-- The disclosed interface assembly can easily be integrated with
conventional mobile phones and does not require modifications to the
phone battery.
-- Once the processor receives input from one of its input devices, it
transmits the information to a remote computer using the transceiver of
the attached communication device.
-- The card reader is formed along the border of the side surface of the
mobile phone and hence does not increase device size, thereby
maintaining portability and ease of use.
-- The patents in this portfolio have been cited by significant industry
players including LG, Samsung, HP, and Motorola.
