发明名称 Techniques for providing an electronic representation of a card
摘要 Techniques for making electronic cards that can be displayed on a mobile phone. The techniques permit making an electronic card based on an arbitrary SMS message and making an electronic card (eCard) that corresponds to a pre-existing non-electronic privilege card such as a loyalty card. In the latter case, the system on which the card is being made obtains information about the user and the issuer and uses the information to determine whether to issue the eCard and also to make use validity information which is associated with the card and is used to determine the validity of the card as it is used.

主权项 1. A system configured to make electronic versions of previously-issued non-electronic privilege cards for users, the previously-issued non-electronic privilege cards having been issued by a plurality of card issuers, each of the previously-issued non-electronic privilege cards having been issued to one of the users with a card identifier by one of the plurality of card issuers, the system comprising: a plurality of mobile devices, each mobile device being associated with one of the users and comprising a camera; a server computer being remote from the plurality of mobile devices; wherein the plurality of mobile devices and the server computer are not operated by the card issuers; wherein each of the plurality of mobile devices is configured to: capture an image of a previously-issued non-electronic privilege card; use data contained in the image to transmit issue validation information for the previously-issued non-electronic privilege card to the server computer and not via the card issuer for the privilege card, the issue validation information including at least the card identifier for the previously issued non-electronic privilege card; wherein the server computer is configured to: receive, from the mobile devices and not via the card issuers, the issue validation information for electronic versions of previously-issued non-electronic privilege cards; for each privilege card for which issue validation information is received from a mobile device, validate whether the electronic version of the previously-issued non-electronic privilege card should issue on the mobile device, according to the received issue validation information and additional information of the card issuer for the privilege card; and for each privilege card for which issue validation information is received from a mobile device, in response to validation, make the electronic version of the previously-issued non-electronic privilege card available for use as the privilege card through the mobile device.
