Definitions
- the inventor has attempted to provide a new, modern and advantageous solution to the problem of the circulation of the above mentioned "liquid,” by creating an electronic device which essentially makes it possible to be able to eliminate the above mentioned monetary mass, if desired.
- This device in whose memory the situation of the liquidities is recorded, or else the number of accounting units that are available to its owner, is designed so as to be able to execute and record all cash operations of any amount (contained in the above named number) , both debit and credit, by acting in tune with another identical device carried by the counterpart who is participating in the above mentioned operations.
- the device which is thus called “electronic wallet,” is designed so that, for example if person A needs to make a payment to person B who also has the same kind of wallet, the payment takes place electronically, subtracting the desired amount from the balance in the memory of A's wallet and adding the same amount to the balance in the memory of B's wallet.
- the wallets of both persons if they are presented in the financial institution, for example a bank, that issued them, attest at any given time, through the balance stored in the memory, to the situation of the real credit balance of A and B.
- the invention is comprised of a calculating electronic device and a display equipped with memory, characterized in that it is provided with first means capable of emitting and receiving impulses, and second means capable of causing both the emission and the reception of these impulses having certain physical characteristics to induce analogous numerical signals in the device itself that would modify to a pre-determined extent a number entered into the memory; this device would be called an electronic wallet.
- the drawing represents a front view of the device that is the object of the invention.
- the wallet is activated in its memory 3, by card 6, with the preset number of accounting units of credit available in the financial institution that issues the wallet itself.
- Owner A of the wallet then, for example, in order to make a payment to another person B, presses entry button
- the above mentioned impulses are received and translated into a analogous numerical signal by B's wallet, which operates by assigning a credit, and the above mentioned entry key 10 will have also have to have been pressed previously, twice for example, to predispose the device to receive a credit, and the owner will have also entered on his keypad 4 the number equal to the amount of the operation in question, and then push the operation key. The number in the memory of this latter wallet will then be increased by the amount entered.
- Both wallets will remain activated for possible additional operations for a limited time, for example 3 to 5 minutes, and then they will turn off automatically.
- the device may execute other functions, such as correction key (13) to change the number before emitting or receiving impulses from the other wallet, or the like.
- a further function is, for example, exchange key 18; by pressing this key and then by pressing another key 14 a certain number of times, it will be possible to multiply or divide an amount by the exchange rate of other currencies in relation to the base currency with which the wallet operates.
- a small printing device 2 is contained that is capable of transcribing, then storing everything it prints, every variation in the number is recorded in the memory as well as the characteristic parameters - operation number, date, type of operation, result in the memory and the like - of all the operations that have induced the above mentioned variations.
- the function of this unit carries out, in a certain sense, the task of the "black box" in aircraft.
- additional unit 7 capable of printing and issuing sheets of paper and cards containing desired data and/or numbers.
- the owner can issue true mini-checks of his own that are securely covered in that they cannot be issued unless a corresponding credit exists in the memory, and these mini-checks can serve as cash for making payments to persons or companies that do not have an electronic wallet.
- the device be equipped with an electronic unit capable of distinguishing among a large number of impulses with identical characteristics, and to allow for the reception only of the closest signal. This makes it possible to avoid illicit intrusions into the operations by third parties.
- two wallets cannot exchange impulses when they are placed at a distance greater than a certain reference distance. This distance can be set to about 1 m, for example.
- the inventor has also provided that the frequencies and the other physical characteristics of the emitted signal vary automatically over time according to a secret preset logical sequence.
- This mechanism also serves to avoid intrusions and unauthorized uses by third parties.
- a final mechanism to achieve maximum security is the fact that all the circuits with which the device is equipped are connected to an internal part (for example a covering or a frame) of shell 1 of the device itself so that any event that causes it to break also cause the circuits themselves to be interrupted or short-circuited.
- outlets 12 which serve either for long-distance operations or for other connections, for example for the transmission of data to the institution that issued the wallet.
- the device is portable, it is obvious that it is powered by batteries (8) .
