Abstract

A personalized multifunctional access device that possesses an individualized form of authenticating and controlling data exchange following a unique authentication of a user by the access device, wherein the access is further disposed to create a secure exchange environment for a user through pairing with a corresponding medium and subsequent authentication.

Claims

1. A personalized multifunctional access device possessing an individualized form of authenticating and controlling data exchange comprising:

a biometric fingerprint module, wherein the fingerprint module is disposed to receive at least one of a user'"'"'s fingerprints for use in an authentication process of the user;

a near field communications module, wherein the near field communications module is disposed for data communication with at least one separate medium;

a plurality of light emitting diodes, wherein the light emitting diodes are disposed to indicate a status of the performance of an operation on the access device;

a micro secure digital card slot, wherein the card slot is disposed to transfer and receive a plurality of data from a micro secure card;

at least one non-removable storage module, wherein each storage module is disposed for the secure storage of a user'"'"'s profile data; and

wherein the access device is disposed to control at least one data exchange with a separate medium through the creation of a secure exchange environment following an individualized authentication process of a user by the access device.

2. The multifunctional access device of claim 1, wherein the access device is disposed to utilize a wireless communication for data exchange with a separate medium in order to exhibit the function of a universal access control device.

3. The multifunctional access device of claim 1, wherein the access device is disposed to be in data communication with a corresponding mobile device via wireless communication.

4. The multifunctional access device of claim 3, wherein the access device is disposed to exert computational control over the data exchange function of the corresponding mobile device.

5. The multifunctional access device of claim 3, wherein the access device is disposed to exert computational control over the corresponding mobile device during a user authentication procedure.

6. The multifunctional access device of claim 1, wherein the access device further comprises an embedded operating system disposed to control the access device and a plurality of corresponding medium.

7. The multifunctional access device of claim 1, wherein the access device further comprises a magnetic stripe reader disposed to enable a user to input a plurality of information stored on magnetic strip card.

8. The multifunctional access device of claim 7, wherein the plurality of information relates to a user'"'"'s credit card information.

9. The multifunctional access device of claim 1, wherein the access device further comprises a plurality of sound tunnels disposed to channel a quantity of sound from a microphone and speaker located on a corresponding mobile device.

10. A method for the creation of an individualized system for a secure data exchange environment utilizing the multifunctional device of claim 1, wherein control responsibility for the system is divided into prongs, the steps comprising:

initiating contact with the access device by a user;

prompting an authentication request of the user by the access device;

inputting a plurality of authentication data for receipt by the access device;

storing the authentication data on the access device;

obtaining a plurality of authentication data from a corresponding medium for receipt by the access device;

generating a data package from the authentication data for the user and the corresponding medium by the access device; and

creating a public and private key by the access device based on the data package generated.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of authentication data provided by a user is selected from the group consisting of at least one fingerprint, a unique light emitting diode combination, a unique hand gesture with the access device by a user or any combination thereof.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising the steps of:

connecting the access device to a corresponding desktop computer via a universal serial bus connection;

initiating a universal serial bus connection by the computer to enable data communication with the access device;

transmitting a serial number of the desktop computer to the access device;

creating a public and private key from the serial number of the computer and the authentication data from the corresponding medium and access device;

distributing the public key to the corresponding medium; and

distributing the private key to the desktop computer.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the authentication data of the corresponding medium includes at least one data value selected from the group consisting of a serial number, an international mobile equipment identity number and a subscriber identity module.

16. The personalized multifunctional access device of claim 1, wherein the access device is disposed to be utilized in at least one application selected from the group consisting of an mobile commerce, a loyalty card, e-Ticketing, parking, Smart posters, a validating terminal, a mobile ticket vending machine, and an electronic identity card.

17. The personalized multifunctional access device of claim 16, wherein the mobile commerce application is disposed to allow for payment selected from the group consisting of a contactless interface, a third party payment gateway provider, an EMV compliant contactless card payment, an EMV compliant credit/debit payment card, and a contactless bank card.

14. A method for a secure individualized authentication of a user with the multifunctional access device 1 the steps comprising:

initiating contact with the access device by a user;

prompting an authentication request of the user by the access device;

inputting a plurality of authentication data by the user for receipt by the access device;

storing the authentication data on the access device;

verifying the authentication data provided by the user; and

enabling the user to interact with the access device following verification of the user'"'"'s authentication data.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the multifunctional access device is disposed to initiate a series of events during authorized use, the steps further comprising:

verifying a pre-determined authentication data which indicates unauthorized use of the access device;

scrambling all of the data stored on the access device to prevent data recovery; and

enabling an authorized user to undertake a plurality of false data exchange on the access device.
