Augmented reality numberless transaction card

1. A method implemented on an augmented reality (AR) electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving a request to activate a transaction card account on a transaction card;

activating the transaction card account on the transaction card; and

displaying a virtual representation of transaction card account information corresponding to the transaction card account on the AR electronic device, the virtual representation of transaction card account information being visible on the AR electronic device when the transaction card is viewed through the AR electronic device,

wherein an exterior of the transaction card is free of account identifying information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein activating the transaction card account on the transaction card comprises sending a wireless signal to the transaction card, the wireless signal including information regarding the transaction card account which is to be activated.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the wireless signal is received by a wireless communication device on the transaction card.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein before activating the transaction card account on the transaction card, the method further comprises:

obtaining an identity of a person wearing the AR electronic device; and

determining that the person wearing the AR electronic device is authorized to activate the transaction card account on the transaction card and to view transaction card account information on the AR electronic device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the obtaining step comprises:

using biometric identification to obtain the identity of the person, wherein the biometric identification is at least one of retinal scan, facial recognition, voice recognition and finger print scan.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving step comprises:

receiving a voice command to activate the transaction card account, the voice command identifying the transaction card account.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing identification information for a plurality of payment card accounts on the transaction card.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activating step comprises:

programming a near-field communication device on the transaction card to transmit data associated with the transaction card account.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the activating step comprises:

programming a dynamic magnetic stripe on the transaction card with data associated with the transaction card account.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein, after the transaction card is activated, the method further comprises:

receiving an activating command for another transaction card account;

deactivating a currently active transaction card account on the transaction card; and

activating the another transaction card account on the transaction card.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction card stores transaction card account information corresponding to a plurality of transaction card accounts, the method further comprising:

generating an alert on the AR electronic device when one of the plurality of transaction card accounts is compromised.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving information for a new transaction card account at the AR electronic device; and

replacing the information for the compromised transaction card account with the new transaction card account information.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of transaction card accounts comprises one or more of credit cards, debit cards, loyalty cards and reward cards.

14. An augmented reality (AR) device comprising:

a processing unit; and

system memory, the system memory including instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR device to:

initiate activation of a transaction card account on a transaction card in response to a command;

obtain identification factors from a person wearing the AR device, the identification factors including at least one biometric identification factor;

authenticate the person wearing the AR device based on the obtained identification factors to determine that the wearer of the AR device is authorized to activate the transaction card account on the transaction card and to view transaction card account information on the AR device;

after authenticating the person wearing the AR device, activate the transaction card account on the transaction card, the activation of the transaction card comprising sending a wireless signal to the transaction card, the wireless signal including information identifying the transaction card account to be activated; and

display a virtual representation of account identifying information corresponding to the activated transaction card account on the AR electronic device, the virtual representation being projected on the transaction card by the AR electronic device, the account identifying information including one or more of an account name, an account number, an expiration date and a card verification value (CVV) for the transaction card account,

wherein an exterior of the transaction card is free of the account identifying information.

15. The AR device of claim 14 , wherein the system memory stores information for a plurality of payment card accounts, and wherein the system memory further includes instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to generate an alert on the AR electronic device indicating that one of the plurality of payment card accounts is compromised.
