Abstract

A mobile communication device is disclosed. The disclosed mobile communication device performs corresponding identity (ID) and data verification processing on a server through a smart chip and comprises a wireless communication unit, a smart chip, and a processing unit. The smart chip is configured to store ID verification information. The processing unit is electrically connected to the smart chip and the wireless communication unit. When the processing unit runs a transaction procedure, the processing unit accesses the ID verification information from the smart chip. The processing unit also drives the wireless communication unit to send the ID verification information to the server and requests the server to perform an ID verification procedure, so as to determine whether the transaction procedure is valid. Additionally, when the transaction procedure is invalid, the processing unit cancels the transaction procedure.

Claims

1. A mobile communication device, wherein the mobile communication device performs corresponding identity (ID) and data verification processing on a server through a smart chip, the mobile communication device comprising:

a wireless communication unit;

a first receiving slot storing a subscriber identify module (SIM);

a second receiving slot storing a smart chip storing ID verification information, wherein both the first and second receiving slots electrically connect both the SIM and the smart chip to a processing unit, wherein the processing unit is electrically connected to the wireless communication unit, and

when the processing unit runs a transaction procedure, the processing unit accesses the ID verification information from the smart chip, the processing unit drives the wireless communication unit to send the ID verification information to the server and requests the server to perform an ID verification procedure, so as to determine whether the transaction procedure is valid, and when the transaction procedure is invalid, the processing unit cancels the transaction procedure;

an external antenna located external to both the SIM and the smart chip and within the mobile device and electrically connected to the smart chip; and

at least one extended contact external to the second receiving slot and electrically connected to the second receiving slot, the extended contact connecting the external antenna with the smart chip;

wherein the external antenna further comprising;

a radiating part comprising at least one antenna coil operable for radio communication of the wireless communication unit;

a feeding part electrically contacting the at least one extended contact; and

a conducting part connecting the radiating part and the feeding part;

wherein the extended antenna, when installed under a battery of the mobile device overlaying the feeding part, conducting part, SIM, and extended contact, electrically connects the feeding part and extended contact, and the conducting part is flexible such that after the installation of the extended antenna, the conducting part flexes enabling the radiating part to overlay at least a portion of the battery, conducting part, feeding part, and extended contact.

2. The mobile communication device according to claim 1, wherein the wireless communication unit adopts IEEE 802.11 series wireless transmission, blue tooth wireless communication, or near field wireless communication.

3. The mobile communication device according to claim 1, wherein when the transaction procedure is invalid, the processing unit executes a corresponding attention procedure according to a processing result of the transaction procedure.
