Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flexible card may include a dynamic magnetic stripe communications device having multiple layers, such as an electromagnetic generator, a magnet, and a shield. A shield may form a non-flexible layer within the stack and may bend, but the shield may not be able to stretch or compress. Flexible layers may surround and adhere to the shield such that when the card is flexed, the flexible layers may stretch and compress with the movement of the shield. The dynamic magnetic stripe communications device may include one or more coils. Each coil may contain a material that may be beveled, such that a width at an end portion of the material may be smaller than a width at a middle portion of the material.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A card comprising: a first coil extending in a first direction, the first coil operable to communicate a first track of magnetic stripe data to a magnetic stripe reader; a second coil extending substantially parallel to the first coil, the second coil operable to communicate a second track of magnetic stripe data to the magnetic stripe reader; and a magnet extending across at least a portion of the first coil and the second coil in a direction orthogo…
