SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC FOB SYNCHRONIZATION AND PERSONALIZATION
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating synchronizing transponder information associated with a transponder, said system comprising:
- a first enterprise data collection unit of a first enterprise that stores at least one of update transactions and pending transactions, associated with said transponder and said first enterprise;
a second enterprise data collection unit of a second enterprise that stores at least one of update transactions and pending transactions, associated with said transponder and said second enterprise;
an object database system that stores said transponder information based, at least in part, on at least one of said update transactions and said pending transactions, wherein said transponder information includes a data object having an application, and wherein said object database system is communicatively coupled to said first and second enterprise data collection units; and
an update logic system having a processor that routes said transponder information from said first and second enterprise data collection units to a point-of-sale device in order to effect synchronization of said transponder information associated with said transponder and said object database system, wherein said point-of-sale device includes a transponder-reader communicatively coupled with said transponder and said first and second enterprise data collection units.

Abstract
A system generally for personalizing and synchronizing fob data in the context of a distributed transaction system is disclosed. A dynamic fob synchronization system may comprise point of service (POS) devices configured with transponder-readers to initiate a transaction in conjunction with a fob, an enterprise data collection unit, and a fob object database update system. An exemplary dynamic synchronization system (DSS) may comprise various fob POS devices, a secure support client server, a fob object database update system (FODUS), one or more enterprise data synchronization interfaces (EDSI), an update logic system, one or more enterprise data collection units (EDCUs), and one or more fob POS devices configured to interoperably accept and interface with fobs. In an exemplary embodiment, DSS may comprise a personalization system and an account maintenance system configured to communicate with FODUS. Personalization of multi-function fobs may be accomplished using a security server configured to generate and/or retrieve cryptographic key information from multiple enterprise key systems during the final phase of the fob issuance process.

17. A method for facilitating synchronizing transponder information associated with a transponder, said method comprising the following steps:
-
using a first enterprise data collection unit associated with a first enterprise to facilitate storing update transactions and pending transactions associated with said transponder and said first enterprise; using a second enterprise data collection unit associated with a second enterprise to facilitate storing update transactions and pending transactions associated with said transponder and said second enterprise; interfacing with said transponder and said first and second enterprise data collection units through at least one point-of-sale device configured with a transponder-reader; storing said transponder information in accordance with said update transactions and said pending transactions at an object database system coupled to said first and second enterprise data collection units, wherein storing said transponder information may include storing a data object having at least one application; and using an update logic system to facilitate routing said transponder information from said first and second enterprise data collection units to at least one of said point-of-sale device in order to effect synchronization of said transponder information associated with said fob and said object database system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
