Two piece dual layer transaction device
A two part dual layer transaction device comprising a computerized master unit powered by rechargeable battery, the master unit capable of connecting wirelessly to a data network and accessing at least one network server, the master unit having a length, a width, and an internal volume, and a transaction card element having a form factor acceptable for use as a debit or credit card, wherein the transaction card element may be docked or otherwise coupled to the master unit in an idle state and may be uncoupled by the user for the purpose using or cleaning the card element.
1. A two-part dual layer transaction device comprising:
a computerized master unit powered by rechargeable battery, the master unit storing a plurality of aggregated financial transaction accounts in datasets and capable of connecting wireles sly to a data network and accessing at least one network server, the master unit having a housing with a length, a width, forming at least one planar side and an internal volume;
a transaction card element having a rectangular planar form factor having a first planar surface and a second planar surface, acceptable for use as at least one of a debit card and a credit card; wherein the transaction card element is coupled to the master unit in an idle state and may be uncoupled by the user for the purpose of using the card element in a physical financial transaction;
wherein the master unit and transaction card are attracted to and held adjacent to one another via aligned electrostatic micro-structures provided by a silicon film between the at least one planar side of the housing and all of the planar surface of either the first or second planar surfaces, and at least one dataset is transferred to the transaction card thereby enabling the transaction card to physically accomplish a financial transaction at a financial terminal.
2. The transaction device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless network is one of a wireless fidelity network (WiFi) and a long-term evolution (LTE) network.
3. The transaction device of claim 1 , wherein the master unit and transaction card element may exchange data over at least one of a Bluetooth wireless network connection and a near field connection 20 (NFC).
4. The transaction device of claim 1 , wherein the transaction card element unit may transact via a magnetic stripe at point of sale terminals with EMV EVM.
5. The transaction device of claim 1 , wherein the transaction card element may transact via NFC at point of sale terminals with NFC.
6. The transaction device of claim 1 , wherein the master unit and transaction card element are physically aligned and snapped together via snap seats and snap posts.
7. The transaction device of claim 1 , wherein the master unit and transaction card are physically aligned, and press fit together via post seats and posts.
8. The transaction device of claim 1 , further including two or more aligned micro-structure arrays adapted as binding sites to each side of the silicone membrane.
9. The transaction device of claim 1 , wherein the master unit includes a sleeve track architecture sized to accept docking by slot insertion of the transaction card element.
10. The transaction device of claim 1 , further including an optical fingerprint reader on the master unit.
