Method and system for managing token image replacement
First Claim
1. A system for managing token image replacement in a token, comprising:
- a token acceptance device configured to receive the token, the token having a token image; and
a server configured to communicate with the token via the token acceptance device;
wherein upon receiving an indication that the token image on the token is to be updated, the server retrieves a backup token image for the token and uploads the backup token image to the token via the token acceptance device to replace the current token image on the token.

Abstract
A system for managing token image replacement is provided. The system includes a remote server, a personal computer (PC) connected to the remote server, a smartcard that can be read by the PC, and a card image server. Using application logic and rules, the remote server is able to read the card image on the smartcard and determine if the card image on the smartcard needs to be updated. If an indicator on the smartcard is set to “update”, the remote server then retrieves a backup card image that corresponds to the card from the card image server. The remote server forwards the backup card image to the PC which, in turn, writes the backup card image including transaction information to the smartcard. Once the backup card image is written onto the smartcard, the indicator in the smartcard is then reset to ensure that subsequent interactions with the system would not initiate an update.

7. A system for managing token image replacement, comprising:
-
a token having a token image and an indicator used to indicate whether the token image is to be updated;
a token acceptance device configured to communicate with the token;
a processing server configured to communicate with the token via the token acceptance device; and
a token image server configured to store a plurality of backup token images;
wherein the processing server examines the indicator to determine the token image in the token is to be updated; and
wherein if it is determined that the token image is to be updated, the processing server retrieves a backup token image for the token from the token image server and uploads the backup token image to the token via the token acceptance device to replace the current token image on the token. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
