Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of methods and machines are disclosed for enabling contactless devices, such as contactless payment cards and other devices having near-field communication (NFC) capabilities, for use as fare media in a transit and/or transportation system. Embodiments include reading contactless data from a contactless device and associating it with information received from another source on the device. For example, associating a primary account number (PAN) and/or other information received from a contactless payment card's contactless interface with a PAN obtained from a magnetic stripe of the contactless payment card. The information can then be further associated with one or more products and/or a transit user account.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for enabling a first handheld media having near-field communication (NFC) capabilities for use as fare media in a transit system providing account-based products, the method comprising: receiving a first account identifier from a first source of the first handheld media, wherein: the first account identifier is unique to the first handheld media, the first account identifier including a primary account number (PAN); and the first source comprises…
