Battery charger for a transaction card
Examples described herein describe a battery charger for a transaction card. According to some implementations, a charging device may detect a transaction card is received within a charging slot when an integrated circuit (IC) chip of the transaction card is in contact with a charging terminal; request a user device to provide power to charge the transaction card via the charging terminal, wherein the user device is communicatively coupled to the charging terminal; receive the power from the user device; and provide the power to the transaction card to charge a battery of the transaction card.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a charging device, a transaction card and a user device;
detecting, by the charging device and based on receiving the transaction card and the user device, the transaction card and the user device;
sending, by the charging device and to an application, of the user device, associated with the transaction card, a request to charge the transaction card; and
charging, by the charging device and based on receiving a response, from the application, to the request to charge the transaction card, the transaction card.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request to charge the transaction card is sent via a charging jack of the charging device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein charging the transaction card comprises:
receiving, by the charging device, an amount of power from a battery of the user device; and
providing, by the charging device, at least a portion of the amount of power to the transaction card.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein charging the transaction card comprises:
drawing, by the charging device, an amount of power from a battery of the user device; and
providing, by the charging device, at least a portion of the amount of power to the transaction card.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the charging device and based on detecting the transaction card and the user device, an amount of power in a battery of the transaction card,
wherein sending the request to the application is based on determining the amount of power in the battery of the transaction card.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the charging device and based on detecting the transaction card and the user device, an amount of power in a battery of the charging device,
wherein sending the request to the application is based on determining the amount of power in the battery of the transaction card.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
presenting, by a user interface of the charging device, information relating to charging the transaction card.
8. A charging device, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
detect a transaction card and a user device;
determine, based on detecting the transaction card and the user device, an amount of power in a battery of at least one of the charging device or the user device;
send, based on the amount of power in the battery of the at least one of the charging device or the user device and to an application, of the user device, associated with the transaction card, a request to charge the transaction card; and
charge, based on receiving a response, from the application, to the request to charge the transaction card, the transaction card.
9. The charging device of claim 8 , wherein the request to charge the transaction card is sent via a charging jack of the charging device.
10. The charging device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, to charge the transaction card, are configured to:
receive an amount of power from a battery of the user device; and
provide at least a portion of the amount of power to the transaction card.
11. The charging device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, to charge the transaction card, are configured to:
draw an amount of power from a battery of the user device; and
provide at least a portion of the amount of power to the transaction card.
12. The charging device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
determine, based on detecting the transaction card and the user device, an amount of power in a battery of the transaction card,
wherein sending the request to the application is based on determining the amount of power in the battery of the transaction card.
13. The charging device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
present information relating to charging the transaction card.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a charging device, cause the charging device to:
detect a transaction card and a user device;
receive, from an application, of the user device, associated with charging the transaction card, a request to charge the transaction card;
send, based on an amount of power in a battery of at least one of the charging device or the user device and to the application of the user device, a response to the request; and
charge, based on receiving a response, from the application, to the request to charge the transaction card, the transaction card.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the charging device to detect the transaction card, causing the charging device to:
detect an integrated chip of the transaction card.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the request to charge the transaction card is sent via a charging jack of the charging device.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the charging device to charge the transaction card, cause the charging device to:
receive an amount of power from a battery of the user device; and
provide at least a portion of the amount of power to the transaction card.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the charging device to charge the transaction card, cause the charging device to:
draw an amount of power from a battery of the user device; and
provide at least a portion of the amount of power to the transaction card.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the charging device to:
determine, based on receiving the request to charge the transaction card, the amount of power in the battery of at least one of the charging device or the user device,
wherein sending the response to the request is based on determining the amount of power in the battery of the at least one of the charging or the user device.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the charging device to:
provide, via a user interface of the charging device, information relating to charging the transaction card.
