NL1010221C2 - Electronic storage and display unit for multiple PIN codes, allows user to find all his PIN numbers by keying in only one overall PIN number - Google Patents

Abstract

The unit has a numerical display, a number keypad and ten user defined keys and a cancel key. The unit has the same dimensions as a credit card, except that the unit has a thickness of between 2 and 3 mm. The user can write short names for up to ten PIN numbers on the ten user keys. To read out any stored PIN number, the user first keys in the overall PIN number followed by pressing the appropriate user key.

Description

Electronic memory bank card for storing multiple number combinations that can be read in different ways with one self-selected number sequence and one specific key.

The invention relates to an electronic memory bank card for storing multiple digit combinations. The size of the total electronic memory bank card is the same as that of a normal credit card. The thickness is approximately 2-3 mm. The memory bank card contains a memory chip that is powered by two two flat button cell batteries. There are 10 numeric keys on the memory bank card; 10 or more specific keys that can be provided with stickers on which a logo, company name or similar can be displayed; one transparent display where numbers and numbers can be displayed; one c key for 15 confirm entries. Input to the memory chip takes place e.g.

1 via the numeric keypad. The object of the invention is to store several number combinations, also called pin codes, in the memory of the chip and subsequently read them out again with a unique, self-selected number sequence. This reading is shown both on the display and on the numeric keypad, the digits of which light up one by one in the sequence of the entered number combination. Anyone who makes extensive use of number combinations, such as codes, to gain access to or use things such as ATM machines, combination locks, computers, etc. no longer needs to remember and make visible the associated codes for each case, both in the light as in the dark.

According to the invention, this can be achieved by linking each separate digit combination (code) to a specific readout key.

By securing the specific readout keys with one (selectable) number sequence, the user can access multiple codes with just one code. Moreover, by having the numerical part lit up digitally (after double keypress), use in the dark is also possible. By using stickers that are provided with word or logo and that can be affixed to the specific read-out keys, there will be a high user-friendliness and safety.

The use is as follows: The memory bank card is standard equipped with a 6-digit master code (000000) that gives access to the memory. To convert the master code to the number sequence / code of your choice (minimum 4 maximum 6 digits), the master code 5 (000000) is entered, via the numeric keypad, followed by the confirmation key. The text OK appears on the display. The digit sequence of your choice is now entered and confirmed with the confirm key. The text appears again in the display. The self-selected number sequence is entered again and confirmed with the 10 confirmation key. If the entry is the same as the previous one, the display shows OK. Up to 5 attempts can be made to enter the correct code. With the 6 * incorrect entry, the text sorry appears and the memory bank card is then unusable.

The memory bank card is now ready to be provided with 15 number combinations (codes) that are linked to the specific output key, which may or may not have a sticker with a word or logo. In the absence of a word or logo, a blank sticker can be affixed with your own statement.

Linking the number combinations (codes) to the specific output key is as follows: (a) The self-selected number sequence is entered via the numeric keypad, followed by? (b) the confirmation key (The display shows OK); (c) the digit combination (code) is now entered which is associated with the desired specific read-out key, this is confirmed with; (d) the confirmation key followed by; (e) the desired specific readout test and then; (f) confirmed with the confirm key.

(g) For the next entry, steps a, b, c, d, e and 30 f are repeated.

(h) The number combinations (codes) are called up as follows: (i) The self-selected number sequence is entered via the numeric keypad; (j) the desired specific readout key is entered; 35 (k) the desired code appears on the display (for about 7 seconds); 0 ^ 02 ^^ 3 (1) by pressing the specific readout key twice, the first digit of the number combination (code) is visible (lit) on the numeric keypad with each subsequent press of the specific readout key, the next digit of 5 the number combination (code)

The maximum time between keystrokes is approximately 3 seconds, after which the previous entry is canceled. When entering non-logical keys, every input and output is canceled.
