Method for use in association with identification token and apparatus including identification token
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- sensing movement of an identification token, the identification token comprising a mobile telephone device;
determining whether a criteria to operate the identification token as a proximity payment device based on the sensing of the movement of an identification token is satisfied, wherein the determining comprises determining whether the movement satisfies a reference criteria, including determining whether the movement indicates that the identification token has been shaken with a force having a magnitude in excess of a reference magnitude; and
enabling operation of the identification token, in an instance the criteria is satisfied, as a proximity payment device, wherein the sensing and the enabling is initiated prior to presentation of the identification token to a proximity coupling device.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a method comprises: sensing at least one of movement and position of an identification token; determining if a criteria is satisfied; and enabling operation of the identification token if the criteria is satisfied; wherein determining if the criteria is satisfied comprises determining if the at least one of movement and position satisfies a reference criteria; and wherein the sensor comprises a sensor to provide a signal indicative of at least one of movement and position of the identification token prior to presentation to a proximity coupling device. In some embodiments, apparatus comprises: an identification token comprising: a sensor to provide a signal indicative of at least one of movement and position of the identification token; circuitry, to receive the signal, to determine if a criteria is satisfied, and to enable operation of the identification token if the criteria is satisfied; wherein the circuitry comprises circuitry to determine if the at least one of movement and position satisfies a reference criteria wherein the sensor comprises a sensor to provide a signal indicative of at least one of movement and position of the identification token prior to presentation to a proximity coupling device.

10. An apparatus comprising:
an identification token comprising; a mobile telephone device; a sensor to provide a signal indicative of movement of the identification token, wherein the sensor comprises a sensor to provide a signal indicative of acceleration of the identification token; and circuitry, to receive the signal, to determine whether a criteria to operate the identification token as a proximity payment device based on the signal is satisfied, and to enable operation of the identification token, in an instance the criteria is satisfied, to operate the identification token as a proximity payment device, wherein the circuitry comprises circuitry to determine whether the movement satisfies a reference criteria; wherein the sensor provides a signal indicative of movement of the identification token and the circuitry determines whether to operate the identification token as a proximity payment device prior to presentation of the identification token to a proximity coupling device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
