Appl. No.:

14/977553

Inventors:

JOHN HERSLOW - SCOTCH PLAINS NJ, US
ADAM LOWE - HILLSBOROUGH NJ, US
LUIS DASILVA - BRIDGEWATER NJ, US

International Classification:

G06K 19/077
H01Q 1/52
H01Q 1/22
H01Q 7/00

Abstract:

Ferrite material utilized in a smart metal card as a shield between a metal layer and an antenna does not occupy a complete layer. Instead, only sufficient ferrite material is utilized to track and conform to the antenna.

Abstract:

Cards made in accordance with the invention include a specially treated thin decorative layer attached to a thick core layer of metal or ceramic material, where the thin decorative layer is designed to provide selected color(s) and/or selected texture(s) to a surface of the metal cards. Decorative layers for use in practicing the invention include: (a) an anodized metal layer; or (b) a layer of material derived from plant or animal matter (e.g., wood, leather); or (c) an assortment of aggregate binder material (e.g., cement, mortar, epoxies) mixed with laser reactive materials (e.g., finely divided carbon); or (d) a ceramic layer; and (e) a layer of crystal fabric material. The cards may be dual interface smart cards which can be read in a contactless manner and/or via contacts.

International Classification:

G06K 19/077
H01Q 7/00

Abstract:

A smart card with a metal layer which can capture radio-frequency (RF) signals via an antenna system is made operable by modifying the metal layer to enable passage of RF signals through the metal layer and/or by introducing a ferrite layer to enhance the efficient reception/transmission of RF signals by the antenna system. In one embodiment apertures are formed in and through the metal layer to allow RF signals to pass through the metal layer without negatively impacting the decorative or esthetic and/or reflective nature of the metal layer. These modifications allow for dual interface and contactless smart card formats. In other embodiments of the invention, a ferrite layer is formed between the metal layer and the inductors/antennas mounted within the smart card to enhance the efficient reception/transmission of RF signals.
