Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Telematic Payment Card, in the domain of Banking Payment systems or, more specifically, Payment Cards, but also has a component of Mobile Data Communications.
  • One object of this invention is a Telematic Payment Card device that, when used remotely in conjunction with a Central Control & Processing Unit, can be used for accessing a bank account, or for paying goods and services using the mobile network as it has the capability of transferring money between accounts remotely, enabling a payment card with a monitor, a keyboard and the technology to communicate banking and financial data remotely via a central control & processing unit, between financial institutions, banks, and/or payment networks.
  • P2P Person-to- Person
  • P2M Person-to-Merchant
  • P2Mx Person-to-Machine
  • P2Mx Person-to-Machine
  • the Telematic Payment Card permits the access and management of a bank account linked to the card, which is uniquely and securely identified by means of payment technology by the Central Control & Processing Unit that is in communication with financial institutions and payment networks. These entities are able to communicate with the Telematic Payment Card, and vice-versa, so that information and communications can be exchanged between them.
  • This invention uses a combination of technologies from several domains, among which:
  • Payment cards - the Telematic Payment Card uses existing technology from secure payment cards, as is the chip EMV (Europay Mastercard Visa) that enables the unique and secure identification of the card-holder. It safely stores a password (requested to authorise payments) and non-secure bank data that identifies the destination or origin of payments (e.g. bank account + bank id etc, such as used in I BAN for international bank transfers)
  • EMV Europay Mastercard Visa
  • Telematic Payment Card communicates authentication data, transaction data (such as the amount to be paid), bank account IDs and receives financial information such as payments received and account balances, in the format of basic data streams using the existing mobile network.
  • each Telematic Payment Card has embedded basic data mobile modules, such as an antenna, a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card to uniquely identify the Telematic Payment Card in the mobile network (which can eventually be shared with the chip EMV), and a data processing module
  • the Telematic Payment Card can, in some cases work without electric power (so that the card-holder can still make a payment in specific cases with the help of an external device), a battery is needed to take full advantage of the mobility of the Telematic Payment Card.
  • This battery is preferably slim, flexible with high-capacity, but the exact product depends on the evolution of the State of the Art and the availability of advanced solutions at each moment in time
  • Touch-screen - the card-holder uses a touch-screen as way for inputting payment data (amount and payee), security data (password or fingertip reading, if needed), and for navigation through the menus, read messages or configuring the Telematic Payment Card.
  • payment data amount and payee
  • security data password or fingertip reading, if needed
  • navigation through the menus read messages or configuring the Telematic Payment Card.
  • the exact product depends on the evolution of the State of the Art and the availability of advanced solutions at each moment in time
  • Payment Cards in several shapes such as Debit, Credit, Pre-paid, Deferred Debit, Store, etc have been experiencing a huge success, and their acceptance is almost universal. But innovation in Payment Cards has been almost non-existing since they first appeared with Dinners around 1950, with the exception of attached services (not really related with technique) and security add-ons like the chip EMV or encryption algorithms.
  • Both governments, central banks, commercial banks and other financial institutions and even the public and merchants want a more cashless society, but to succeed, this cashless society needs to be seamless, convenient, cheap and risk free.
  • Cash is a very convenient paper payment but it is also inefficient, expensive (all the cash that is circulating outside the banking environment, is in fact almost worthless as cannot be used to produce more wealth), is untraceable, supports the black economy and corruption, is more risky (as once is stolen there is almost no way of recovering it), and the list goes on. The fact is that most players would prefer an economy with less paper cash.
  • Banks are constantly looking for products and solutions that are specific bank products (and not a device, like a mobile phone or a computer, that they have to share with other industries and companies, and thus is less secure and simple) and that allows an exclusive and continuous communication channel to their customers.
  • This invention increases the efficiency of their customer and product management processes.
  • This Telematic Payment Card invention uses the development of technology and the knowledge of people's attitudes above referred to minimize the apparent impact of innovation and thus reducing the perceived risk of adopting a new technology, while in fact providing them with a gradual, yet very powerful tool, to make payments and to manage their whole relationship with their finances and their bank.
  • the entry step for a new Telematic Payment Card user is to make payments in merchants with a POS, just as he does now with his normal card.
  • the present State of the Art in the several domains that are included in the present invention allows the implementation of a Telematic Payment Card that can be as slim and flexible as a common actual Credit or Debit Card.
  • the basic usage of this card is as similar to an actual card as possible to reduce the perception of medical and thus risk.
  • the embedded technology of the Telematic Payment Card and the fact that is connected to a Central Control & Processing Unit via a data link allows many other features to be offered to the cardholder: the card-holder can send or receive information from the bank linked to the Telematic Payment Card account (such as, but not limited to movements in the bank account, new cards issued, security information etc) or from processing entities (such as, but not limited to payments received or completed, fraud detection etc) or any other entity that can link to the Central Control & Processing Unit.
  • this Telematic Payment Card can be offered to people without a bank account, offering them the possibility to upload pre-paid cash in the Central Control & Processing Unit. This enables people that cannot or do not want to have a bank account, the possibility to make electronic payments.
  • Telematic Payment Card of the present invention allows them a very high level of control, not only of their transactions but also their bank accounts
  • This invention is designed as to have the least international limitations, as it uses solutions and interfaces used internationally
  • Telematic Payment Card would use their data links often but for very limited amount of data. By taking very little capacity of the bandwidth, links can still be used for other applications
  • the Telematic Payment Card is a Payment Card with telematic capabilities enabling the communication of transactional and banking data between cards and to/from a Central Control & Processing Unit.
  • An embodiment of the Telematic Payment Card may have at least the following main blocks:
  • it may also have a micro-speaker to produce warning beeps
  • a memory such as a Solid State, to store software and information received from the Central Control & Processing Unit, so that, as an example, the card-holder can keep a tight control of his payments and bank account status and movements
  • a module to handle Input/Output such as a touch-screen
  • a communications module to handle the near-field change of data with other Telematic Payment Cards and POS terminals, and the communications with the mobile network and other networks
  • Paying and payee cards are physically near allowing the exchange of banking data from payee to paying via any near-field communication.
  • Paying party preferably needs availability of communications, such as mobile coverage, to access Central Control & Processing Unit network to clear the transaction. To be able to communicate and authenticate himself in the network, paying card needs battery charge.
  • the paying Telematic Payment Card is placed in or near payee POS Terminal, to make possible communication between them, and may use POS Terminal energy and network link to send authentication and transaction data. Paying card does not need mobile network to receive confirmation of payment as this card uses the POS Terminal link to confirm clearing or compensation (as done presently with current systems).
  • the Central Control & Processing Unit may check if there is unsent informative data (such as payment confirmations, bank information etc) for paying Telematic Payment Card and updates data in paying card accordingly.
  • unsent informative data such as payment confirmations, bank information etc
  • Paying knows bank information (e.g. I BAN code) of payee
  • the paying Telematic Payment Card enters the IBAN (or other identification code) of payee (which can be a either a Person, a Merchant or even a Machine).
  • Telematic Payment Card Another very powerful functionality of the Telematic Payment Card is the ability to receive and manage information sent from banks, or from financial or even commercial institutions, via the Central Control & Processing Unit.
  • the information received can be of the following type:
  • the message can be simply informative (marketing) but can also be discount vouchers to use in purchases, or even the management of loyalty programmes.
  • the level of communications received depends on the clearance and authorisation level the card-holder and issuer of the Telematic Payment Card have given for a given card.
  • the card-holder can also use the Telematic Payment Card to send messages to his card issuer (bank or financial institution) or to the manager of the card.
  • the Telematic Payment Card has the ability to keep a constant update of the status of the bank account linked to the card so that the card-holder may know exactly the money available in his account: all the financial transactions related to the bank account (point 1. and 2. above) are preferably used to update this balance.
  • Communications between cards can be made using any near field contact or contactless technology that allows the transmission of basic data such as the amount to transfer and the destination of the transfer (which can be using the IBAN, another well known account identification or a proprietary identification code).
  • This set of communications does not involve any sensitive or secret information, and as such the choice can fall on a technology that is compact and energy efficient, such as Near Field Communications, Bluetooth or physical contact with a proprietary protocol.
  • the Telematic Payment Card of the payee does not need battery and behaves as a normal Debit or Credit Card when inserted in a normal POS or brought near a contacless payment system.
  • the new POS that is connected to the Central Control & Processing Unit via their own fix or mobile line, can "lend" this link to the Telematic Payment Card of the payee so that he can receive information.
  • Payment to machines can be either by near-field, by inserting a code (that identifies the destination of the payment) or by inserting the card in a slot .
  • Communication between the card and the Central Control & Processing Unit is made via any wireless method that allows an ultimate connection with the Central Control & Processing Unit.
  • This can be a technology such as Wireless LAN but preferably is made via the mobile network using any protocol that allows secure data communication (such as 3G).
  • the Telematic Payment Card is authenticated in the mobile network via the data in the SIM (as any normal mobile device) while the banking specific data, when needed, is authenticated via the data in the EMV part of the chip.
  • As part of the data herein transmitted is highly confidential, to avoid the risk of fraud, preferably this data link is secure and allows a high level of authentication protocols.
  • GPRS/3G etc already uses SIM cards to authenticate mobile devices in the mobile network, using this technology seems to be the most indicated concerning security and universal acceptance. In addition it is the one most widely available due to their coverage worldwide.
  • One of the advantages of this invention is the fact that it does not need a 2nd Telematic Payment Card or a specific POS Terminal to work. By reducing the interdependency on other proprietary equipment, it maximises the probability of market acceptance.
  • the payment or bank transfer can be done by inputting an ID that can be related to the bank account of the payee (e.g. IBAN), together with the amount to be paid.
  • IBAN the bank account of the payee
  • Telematic Payment Card preferably needs to be connected to a Central Control & Processing Unit.
  • This Unit may be connected to an external clearing or compensation unit (if payment clearing or compensation is done by a third party), or/and directly to the issuing banks or other financial entities.
  • this connection with the Central Control & Processing Unit is made preferably via the mobile network (which is, in addition, preferably a secure link).
  • the Cards connect to the mobile network and the mobile operators forward these communications to the Central Control & Processing Unit via a secure link.
  • connection between the Central Control & Processing Unit and the financial entities or the clearing or compensation units is preferentially made via dedicated links.
  • the main functions of the Central Control & Processing Unit comprise:
  • POS Terminal For payments in Merchants, to be as seamless as possible (i.e. without the need to introduce the amount to pay) and as similar as the present method, merchants preferably need a specific POS Terminal that accept Telematic Payment Cards. This POS Terminal should preferably also accept current payment cards based in the EMV chip or magnetic stripe.
  • connection to an external clearing or compensation unit or to the financial institutions may not be necessary when the paying or/and payee have own account in the systems, in which case the invention also works as a financial institution, whereupon the paying or/and the payee both have accounts in this system and the processing and transaction is internal without involving any other financial institution or external clearing or compensation.
  • This invention can also be used to exchange information (besides payments) to and from the Telematic Payment Card.
  • Any institution that wants to send or receive information (either regarding status of bank accounts, management of other financial products, information about new products, discount vouchers to be use in purchases etc) with a specific Telematic Payment Card or with a segment having Telematic Payment Cards must preferably be connected to the Central Control & Processing Unit, which manages such communication.
  • the Telematic Payment Card must preferably have the capacity to store and process the information received in an organized way, which is done using specific software installed in the Telematic Payment Card. This software can be differentiated for different issuers (i.e. dependant on the financial institution where the card-holder has his account) and should be stored in a memory unit that, for security reasons, should preferably not be easily accessible, namely for writing.
  • payments may be done using only one single Telematic Payment Card connected to the Central Control & Processing Unit, which may then be connected to a clearing or compensation unit, or directly to the financial institutions of the paying or payee.
  • the payee party receives the payment as a normal bank transfer in his account.
  • financial institutions connected to the Central Control & Processing Unit may use the system to send information to their customers that have a Telematic Payment Card. This can be about transactions, about the status of their account or other products they have, or any type of advertising. If the user permits it, other institutions may send messages to a specific Telematic Payment Card.
  • the owner of a Telematic Payment Card can use his card to communicate to the financial institution that issued his card, or to any other institutions. He can use this to manage his bank account or any other product he may have with that institution.
  • the Telematic Payment Cards can receive vouchers, receipts, invoices, tickets or any other information from merchants. Voucher can be discounted directly when using the Telematic Payment Card or via their bank account and tickets can be used by presenting the Telematic Payment Card where it is stored, to a control device.
  • a the Telematic Payment Card can store information received from any source that is connected to the Central Control & Processing Unit, users can use their Telematic Payment Cards to keep track of their bank accounts, to manage their bank account or any other product they have with a financial institution, to manage vouchers and discounts, receipts and invoices, tickets etc
  • automatic machines can be prepared to accept payment from any Telematic Payment Card (P2Mx), contactless or with a slot.
