Patent Images
1. A magnetic smartcard comprising:
- a card base;
an electric power source, embedded in said card buss, which powers the magnetic smartcard;
an at least partly ferromagnetic element, embedded in said card base, having an elongated portion which is shaped and positioned for operatively interfacing a magnetic card reader;
a processor, embedded in said card base, which generates a modulated output corresponding to preselected card information and operative for updating said output in accordance with a preselected time schedule; and
an inductor, associated with said processor, operative to induce in said ferromagnetic element a modulated magnetic field corresponding to said modulated output,wherein the at least party ferromagnetic element regenerates a substantially spatially uniform magnetic field, corresponding to said modulated magnetic fields, in the vicinity of said elongated portion.
