Abstract

A device, such as a flexible card, may include a dynamic magnetic stripe emulator operable to transmit magnetic stripe information, a first magnet adjacent to a first side of the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator, and a second magnet adjacent to a second side of the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

Claims

1. A device, comprising:

a dynamic magnetic stripe emulator operable to transmit magnetic stripe information;

a first magnet adjacent to a first side of the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator; and

a second magnet adjacent to a second side of the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the surface of the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator is in the same plane as the surface of the device.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the first magnet, the second magnet, and the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator is in the same plane as the surface of the device.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the first side and the second side are opposite sides of the dynamic stripe emulator.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the first magnet is operable to bias the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are operable to bias the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the first magnet is operable to bias a first track of the magnetic stripe information transmitted by the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the first magnet is operable to bias a first track of the magnetic stripe information transmitted by the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator and the second magnet is operable to bias a second track of the magnetic stripe information transmitted by the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator is narrower than a traditional magnetic stripe.

10. The device of claim 1, further comprising a shield.

11. The device of claim 1, further comprising a shield wherein the shield is on the opposite side of the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator from a surface of the device closest to the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

12. The device of claim 1, further comprising a shield wherein the shield is on the opposite side of the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator, first magnet, and second magnet from a surface of the device closest to the dynamic magnetic stripe emulator.

13. The device of claim 1, further comprising a shield operable to block electromagnetic data.
