Description

Smart Card and Method of Operating the Smart Card
The present invention relates to a smart card and to a method of operating the smart card in which the smart card has input/output means enabling the smart card to receive and transmit data regarding individual financial transactions .
Personal financial transactions can today be conducted using a wide variety of credit and debit cards . The transactions may be on-line or off-line retail purchases. Alternatively the transactions may be to withdraw cash or make financial transfers using automated teller machines or self service terminals. An even wider range of transactions has become commonplace through the advent of telephone banking whereby telephone or personal computer instructions to the relevant institution can be communicated for financial transfers and the purchase of services .
Many consumers using a wide variety of means to conduct financial transactions have no real visibility of their cashflow except from the printed receipts from machines such as point of sale (POS) terminals and automated teller machines and from monthly bank statements .
It is an aim of the present invention to provide such consumers with a more readily accessible view of cashflow.
According to the present invention there is now provided a smart card having input/output means enabling the smart card to receive and transmit data regarding individual financial transactions, a store for logging the transactions individually, and programming means to process the individual transactions so as to consolidate them into a consolidated log of transactions.
Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a method of operating a smart card having input/output means enabling the smart card to receive and transmit data regarding individual financial transactions, the method comprising logging the transactions individually and employing programming means within the smart card to process the individual transactions so as to consolidate them into a consolidated log of transactions.
The consolidated log can be accessed through the input/output means for display or printout under the control of the consumer using the smart card.
The invention will now be described further, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which;
Figure 1 illustrates smart cards, embodying the invention, communicating with a variety of devices to effect financial transactions, and
Figure 2 shows a series of processing steps to operate a smart card embodying the present invention. In Figure 1, a number of smart cards 10a, 10b and 10c are shown. Further detail of each smart card will be described with particular reference to smart card 10a but it will be apparent that each of the smart cards has the same general construction. As seen in Figure 1, the smart card 10a has a microprocessor 11 which incorporates a read only memory 12, a random access memory 13 and input/output ports 14. The smart card is able to communicate through the ports 14 when suitably positioned within a smart card reader as is well known in the art. The internal operations of the smart card are controlled by the microprocessor 11 as determined by program microinstructions that are stored in the read only memory 12. The microinstructions include a number of application programs enabling the smart card to conduct financial transactions, other related applications and transaction logging operations .
Any one of the smart cards 10a, 10b or 10c can be used in conjunction with an automated teller machine 15, a point of sale terminal 16 or a data processor 17 which may be a PC, PDA or self service terminal. It will be understood that the automated teller machine 15, the point of sale terminal 16 and the data processor 17 each incorporate a smart card reader which is adapted to co-operate with the input/output ports 14 to receive instructions and data from the smart card and to pass instructions and data back to the smart card.
Each of the smart cards 10a, 10b and 10c has a secure area 13a and an unsecured area 13b within the random access memory 13. The secure area 13a is accessible under the control of the microprocessor 11 for the storage of secure data relating to a consolidate log of financial transactions . The unsecured area is accessible under the control of the microprocessor 11 for the storage of unsecured data relating to an unsecured log of financial transactions.
The smart card 10a is shown diagrammatically in Figure 1 as co-operating with the automated teller machine 15 to conduct an automated financial transaction in which data passes between the smart card 10a and the automated teller machine 15 under the control of the application programs stored in the read only memory 12. Such transactions enable the user to withdraw currency from the machine 15 or make other financial transactions. Such other financial transactions may, for example, include the loading of currency values into the random access store 13. The smart card is programmed to receive financial data from the machine 15 into the unsecured portion 13b of the memory 13.
The smart card 10a is shown diagrammatically in Figure 1 as co-operating with the point of sale terminal 16 to conduct an automated financial transaction in which data passes between the smart card 10a and the terminal 16 under the control of the application programs stored in the read only memory 12. A retail sale may be authorised by the smart card and the resulting financial data is written to the unsecured area 13b of the memory 13. The transactions which have been described in relation to the machines 15 and 16 and are conducted by the smart card under the control of the microprocessor 11 and will be referred to as automated transactions.
The smart cards 10a, 10b and 10c are useable with the data processing machine 17 to undertake manual transactions. Manual transactions are required in those cases where the consumer has made financial transactions without using the smart card and needs to update the financial data held in the memory 13 of the smart card. For example, the consumer may have made purchases using credit or debit cards and may have made purchases offline over the telephone. An update from the data processing machine 17 may take a number of different forms . In the case where the machine is a personal computer, the update data can be entered from a keyboard of the personal computer; alternatively the data can have been downloaded to the personal computer from a remote site, or it can have been generated locally by a financial package. In the case where the machine is a self service terminal, the update data is prepared by the terminal to be presented to the smart card. It will be apparent that a variety of machines may be employed to update the smart card provided that they incorporate a suitable smart card reader. One such machine may, for example, be a mobile phone including a second smart card slot.
The means of operating the smart card 10a, 10b or 10c will now be described with reference to Figure 2. The first step 20 is to enter the smart card into a smart card reader. The microprocessor 11 determines in step 21 whether an automatic transaction is called for. If so, an authorisation program is called, in step 22, from the memory 12. In step 23, the authorisation program checks the data entered from the smart card reader to determine whether a transaction should be authorised. If so, the authorisation is communicated in step 24 to the smart card reader. If the determination in step 23 is that the authorisation is not verified, the process is terminated.
In step 25, the financial transaction data is received for the unsecured transaction log 13b in the memory 13. The microprocessor 11 calls a storage program in step 26 to access the memory 13 and stores the received financial transaction data in step 27. The program terminates following step 27.
If in step 21 the determination is made that an automated transaction is not called for, the microprocessor 11 checks in step 28 whether a manual update is to be performed. If so, the microprocessor 11 proceeds to step 25 to receive the manually entered log data and proceeds through steps 26 and 27 as before.
If in step 28 the determination is made that a manual update is not called for, the microprocessor 11 checks in step 29 whether a consolidation of the financial data is called for. If so, the microprocessor 11 first verifies in step 30 the access to the secure area 13a of memory 13. The microprocessor proceeds to step 31 to access a consolidation program from the memory 12 and then proceeds to step 32 in which the data from the unsecured part 13b of the memory 13 is transferred to the secured part 13a of the memory 13. In the transfer, the microprocessor is programmed to collect and consolidate the transaction data so as to produce a consolidated statement or log of the financial transactions .
The consolidated log is accessible by uploading from the secured part of the memory 13 into the smart card reader of the data processing device 17.
It will be apparent that the manual updating of the smart card may be direct to the secured area of the memory 13 in addition to the unsecured area of the memory 13 subject to verification of such updating by the microprocessor 11.
What has been described is a smart card having the facility to conduct both automatic and manual transactions and the capability of recording financial transactions in both unsecured and secured transaction logs. A consolidation program in the smart card enables the user to conduct a consolidation of all the financial transactions so as to provide ready access to a financial statement which indicates the cashflow situation of the user.
While the invention has been described with reference to an ATM, the ATM 15 can be replaced by the more general type of self service terminal which does not have a cash dispense facility.
