INTEGRATED POWER SOURCE ON A PAYMENT DEVICE

摘要

The described payment device includes an integrated power source including a piezoelectric accelerometer. Upon motion of the payment device, kinetic energy may be translated to a mass of the piezoelectric accelerometer to generate electrical energy to power other functions of the payment device. Motion translated to the piezoelectric accelerometer may also be used in combination with other inputs to implement security functions of the payment device.

主权项

1. A payment device comprising:
an integrated power source including a piezoelectric accelerometer; a processor in communication with the integrated power source, a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing instructions that configure the processor to activate payment functions of the payment device; and an input/output circuit in communication with the processor; wherein kinetic energy translated to the payment device also translates to the piezoelectric accelerometer to cause the integrated power source to power the processor, memory, and input/output circuit and activate the payment functions of the payment device.
