Powered Authenticating Cards
First Claim
1. A powered video game playing card, comprising:
- a thin, flexible substrate;
a battery disposed within the substrate;
a dynamic token value generator disposed within the substrate, the dynamic token value generator being powered by the battery;
an electronic display mounted on the substrate for displaying a token value generated by the dynamic token value generator, wherein the token value is configured to be used in conjunction with a back-end token value secure identification system to provide access to a locked portion of a video game.

Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for powered video game playing cards, powered voter authentication cards, powered financial transaction cards, and methods for administering the use of each. The cards generally include a thin, flexible substrate and a battery disposed within the substrate. A dynamic token value generator and/or biometric sensor is disposed within the substrate and is powered by the battery. An electronic display is mounted on the substrate for displaying a token value generated by the dynamic token value generator. The token value is configured to be used in conjunction with a back-end token value secure identification system to provide access to secure electronic information or capabilities.

18. A method of administering a vote, comprising:
-
distributing a plurality of voting cards to voters, each voting card having a thin and generally flexible form and having a dynamic token value generator mounted therein;
associating a static identifier with voters that receive a voting card; and
authenticating a particular voter by;
receiving an input denoting an identification of the particular voter;
receiving an input corresponding to a static identifier, wherein the particular voter is firstly authenticated by validating that the static identifier is associated with the particular voter;
receiving an input corresponding to at least one of a biometric fingerprint scan and an instantaneous token value displayed on the voting card received by the particular voter, wherein the particular voter is secondly authenticated by validating at least one of the at least one of a biometric fingerprint scan and an instantaneous token value by means of a back-end secure identification system, wherein, if the particular voter has been firstly and secondly authenticated, allowing the particular voter to proceed to cast a vote. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A method of administering a vote, comprising:
-
distributing a plurality of voting cards to voters, each voting card having a thin and generally flexible form and having a dynamic token value generator mounted therein;
associating a static identifier with each voting card in a back-end system, wherein each static identifier is provided and distributed along with its associated voting card; and
authenticating a particular voter card by;
receiving an input corresponding to a static identifier;
receiving an input corresponding to at least one of a biometric fingerprint scan and an instantaneous token value displayed on the particular voting card, wherein the particular voter card is authenticated by validating at least one of the at least one of a biometric fingerprint scan and an instantaneous token value by means of a back-end secure identification system based on the input corresponding to a static identifier, wherein, if the particular voter card has been authenticated, allowing the voter to proceed to cast a vote. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
