Some examples of the many applications include to regulate communication over the world wide web or Internet, such as by identifying individuals as subscribers of particular internet service providers, or as employees of particular corporations or government agencies, etc.
  • a memory card can be used to verify identity of an individual in situations where merchandise or services owed to that individual is desired to be received, such as will call transactions.
  • Configuration - a storage device despite its complexity of microchips and printed circuit board interconnections, is configured into a lightweight device, such as a card that can be easily stored in a wallet. 2. a storage device does not require a battery for its operation.
  • Security - data entered via contacts or pins is encrypted and stored. Outgoing data is then decrypted. This can only be done if the contact reader is classified as a reader for that specific data.
  • All data is partitioned or compartmentalized so only certain readers (also referred to as playback/send units) can have access to certain data. For example, if this device were used as a driver's license, a police reader would have access to the digital photo, driving record, arrest or conviction record of the driver.
  • Data from the card is automatically stored in the hard drive of the card-issuing establishment and can therefore be easily replaced by uploading using special software.
  • Interactive nature - a storage device can be edited as well as unedited.
  • the advantage of this feature is reflected in this example: A person visits a doctor. The person presents his card. He or she is biometrically linked to the card so ownership is verified. His or her insurance information and medical information from his or her last encounter with any physician is recorded, as is the time and place he or she was seen. The doctor examines the patient, updates the card through the physicians send/play back unit and writes the patient a new prescription (special software can further assure that the prescription does not interact adversely with other medications the patient is presently taking, can also inform whether the drug is covered by his or her insurance company, and can clearly print the name of the mediation and instructions). The patient then goes to the pharmacy.
  • the pharmacy reader cannot read other information about the patient except items permitted to access. This will primarily be insurance information and the prescription information. This is one example of the interactive nature of the card, although as should be understood, other examples may also be provided.
  • the interactive nature of the identification card in accordance with embodiments of the present invention may provide any number of the following advantages: ⁇ Identification protection through encryption and/or biometrics.
  • D Security no one reader can read all portions of the system ⁇
  • Reduction in medical error the information on the patient's exam is accessible to all medical specialists in different locations all over the world.
  • the time and place stamp helps with the accuracy and decreases the doctor's need to rely completely on patient recall, which leads to better care and markedly reduced costs to the medical industry (less duplication of test, etc.).
  • An identification card may be uniquely treated so that it is resistant to elements and routine mechanical stress. An example of this is flame resistance, water resistance and bend resistance. 12. Contact as well as adaptation to contactless operation between the card, reader and host device.
  • Power source included in the card such as alkaline, nickel, lithium battery or solar cell, as examples.
  • Mechanism for emergency contact such as an E911 feature - this may be a contact feature or a voice recognized feature, as example, responding to words such as "help”.

The information may also be date/time stamped for added protection as well as tracked where desired. Depending on use, a memory card may be tracked by an individual and not necessarily any organization. This may be done via a cellular/satellite network and correspondingjnternet website. An aspect here is the ability to compartmentalize the data and its use. This allows one card to be used for all features and privacy to be maintained.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une carte d'identification à mémoire universelle, légère, facile à transporter, qui enregistre des données et contrôle l'accès à ces données. La carte à mémoire comprend un système de fichiers contenant des fichiers électroniques automatiquement détectés et reconnus par des lecteurs autorisés choisis. Le système de fichiers est organisé de sorte que des fichiers électroniques stockés apparaissent dans des compartiments cryptés séparés et distincts sur la carte, si bien que seuls des lecteurs autorisés préétablis ont accès à des compartiments particuliers. Des données d'identification biomériques sont imprimées sur la carte, de sorte qu'aucune donnée ne puisse être transférée si une comparaison biométrique n'est pas établie entre un lecteur et une personne à laquelle la carte est attribuée et dont elle est la titulaire. Les compartiments séparés de la carte à mémoire peuvent comprendre un compartiment renfermant des données médicales, administratives ou financières se rapportant à l'utilisateur titulaire de la carte, lesdites données n'étant accessibles qu'à un lecteur de cartes à mémoire présélectionné comprenant le code PIN unique associé au compartiment renfermant les données médicales. La carte d'identification à mémoire peut également intégrer un système de positionnement global (GPS) à puce unique servant à identifier l'endroit où la carte est utilisée.
