Dynamic transaction card protected by dropped card detection
First Claim
1. A dynamic transaction card comprising:
- an outer protective layer having an outer edge;
a card backing having an outer edge, wherein the card backing outer edge and the outer protective layer are connected to one another along the respective outer edges to form a casing for the components of the dynamic transaction card;
wherein the components of the dynamic transaction card include;
a secure payment chip comprising a contact plate accessible from the outer protective layer and a secure payment processor;
a microcontroller;
at least one sensor that detects indicators of the dynamic transaction card, wherein the indicators cause input data to be transmitted to the microcontroller, and wherein the microcontroller processes the input data to detect whether the dynamic transaction card has been dropped;
an antenna comprising a Near-Field Communication (NFC) antenna, a short-range communication standard antenna, and/or a radio-frequency identification (RFID) antenna; and
an energy storage component to power the dynamic transaction card;
wherein upon detection of the dropping of the dynamic transaction card and/or subsequent impact, the microcontroller pushes a mobile detection notification to a user'"'"'s mobile device.

Abstract
A dynamic transaction card that includes a transaction card having a number of layers, each of which may be interconnected to one another. For example, a dynamic transaction card may include an outer layer, a potting layer, a sensor layer that may detect and identify a card free fall and/or subsequent impact, which may trigger a microcontroller to send a mobile notification to a cardholder notifying the user that the card has been dropped, and/or may disable or deactivate the card and/or a user account associated with the card, a display layer (including, for example, LEDs, a dot matrix display, and the like), a microcontroller storing firmware, Java applets, Java applet integration, and the like, an EMV™ chip, an energy storage component, one or more antenna (e.g., Bluetooth™ antenna, NFC antenna, and the like), a power management component, a flexible printed circuit board (PCB), a chassis, and/or a card backing layer.
