Electronic Device Readable by Magnetic Card Readers

摘要

An electronic card uses a magnetic stripe communication device in which either a horizontal magnetic field generator or a vertical magnetic field generator is selectively activated on a transaction specific basis as determined by the electronic card to transmit data to a magnetic reader to emulate a magnetic stripe

1: An apparatus, comprising:
a magnetic stripe communication device carried by an electronic device, said magnetic stripe communication comprising:
a horizontal magnetic field generator;a vertical magnetic field generator; and means for selective activation of either the horizontal magnetic field generator or the vertical magnetic field generator to transmit data to a magnetic reader to emulate a magnetic stripe card function depending upon a characteristic of the magnetic reader as detected by sensing system.
