Wireless devices for storing a financial account card and methods for storing card data in a wireless device
A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions causing a processor to generate a menu displaying representations of a plurality of cards, the cards having associated card data; receive, from a user input device, a selection corresponding to a selected one of the cards; update the menu to display a representation of the selection; and authorize transmission of the card data associated with the selected card to complete a transaction.
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, implemented in a wireless device comprising a card slot, storing instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
generate a menu displaying representations of a plurality of cards on a display of the wireless device, wherein each card of the plurality of cards is associated with corresponding card data;
receive, from a user input device associated with the wireless device, a selection of a representation corresponding to a card of the plurality of cards;
reading, using a card reader associated with the card slot, a current card inserted into the card slot;
determine, based on reading the current card inserted into the card slot, whether the card of the plurality of cards is inserted in the card slot of the wireless device;
in response to determining that the card of the plurality of cards is inserted into the card slot of the wireless device, automatically update the menu to display the representation corresponding to the card of the plurality of cards;
in response to determining that the card of the plurality of cards is not inserted in the wireless device, automatically update the menu to display a security prompt requesting a security code; and
input, using a radio frequency identification writer, card data corresponding to the card of the plurality of cards into a radio frequency identification tag and authorize transmission of the card data using the radio frequency identification tag to complete a transaction, based upon determining that the card of the plurality of cards is inserted in the card slot of the wireless device or based on determining that the security code satisfies the security prompt.
2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the security code is stored in an encrypted form on the wireless device.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the security code comprises a personal identification number (PIN).
4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:
receive, from the user input device, the security code;
initiating a comparison of the security code to a stored security code; and
authorize the transmission based on the comparison.
5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to, in response to receiving the selection, generate a prompt for receiving at least one biometric from a user.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the at least one biometric comprises at least one of a fingerprint, a voice print, or a retinal scan of the user.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:
receive the at least one biometric from the user;
initiating a comparison of the at least one biometric to a stored at least one biometric; and
authorize the transmission based on the comparison.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the menu comprises a vertical list of representations of the plurality of cards.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising: generating a border surrounding the representation of the card of the plurality of cards.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the border is highlighted.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the user input device comprises one or more input keys.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the user input device comprises a touchscreen.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the representations of the plurality of cards comprise text.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the text comprises names that identify the plurality of cards.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the names comprise at least one name of a plurality of names of financial institutions associated with the plurality of cards or names of brands associated with the plurality of cards.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the names comprise personalized names associated with the plurality of cards based on one or more settings received from the user input device.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the representations of the plurality of cards comprise graphical images.
