Systems and methods for providing an adaptable transponder device
First Claim
1. A transponder alteration system for altering the state of a transponder device in the field, the transponder device used by a transponder user, and the transponder device disposed in a user device of a user, the system comprising:
- an interim interface device; and
an alteration portion, in the form of a computer processing machine, disposed in a banking system, the alteration portion inputting an alteration request from a user for an application to be disposed upon the user'"'"'s transponder device, the alteration portion;
accessing a database to retrieve data to process the alteration request;
generating an information packet for the user based on the retrieved data, and outputting the information packet to the user device of the user, the generating the information packet including adding location information into the information packet, the location information regarding a particular location to alter the transponder device;
generating a data packet based on the retrieved data, andoutputting the data packet to the interim interface device; and
the interim interface device maintaining a watch mode to detect when the transponder device is in proximity to the interim interface device at the particular location;
the interim interface device, from the watch mode, detecting that the transponder device is in proximity to the interim interface device;
the interim interface device initiating communication with the proximate transponder device; and
the interim interface device interfacing with the transponder device to transmit the data packet from the interim interface device to the transponder device.

Abstract
Transponder alteration systems and methods are provided for altering the state of a transponder device in the field, the transponder device used by a transponder user. The system may comprise an alteration portion, disposed in a banking system, the alteration portion inputting an alteration request from a user for an additional application to be disposed upon the user'"'"'s transponder device. The processing of the alteration portion may include (1) accessing a database to retrieve data to process the alteration request; (2) generating an information packet for the user based on the retrieved data, and outputting the information packet to the user; and (3) generating a data packet based on the retrieved data, and outputting the data packet to an interim device, such that the interim device interfaces with the transponder device to transmit the data packet to the transponder device.

18. A transponder alteration system for altering the state of a transponder device in the field, the transponder device used by a transponder user, and the transponder device disposed in a user cell phone device of a user, the system comprising:
-
a transponder device; an interim interface device; and an alteration portion, in the form of a computer processing machine, disposed in a banking system, the alteration portion inputting an alteration request from the user cell phone device for an application to be disposed upon the user'"'"'s transponder device disposed in the user cell phone device of a user, the alteration portion; accessing a database to retrieve data, based on the alteration request, to process the alteration request; generating an information packet for the user cell phone device based on the retrieved data, which was retrieved from the database, the generating the information packet including adding location information into the information packet, the location information regarding a particular location to alter the transponder device; outputting the information packet to the user cell phone device; generating a data packet based on the retrieved data, which was retrieved from the database, and outputting the generated data packet to the interim interface device; and the interim interface device maintaining a watch mode to detect when the transponder device is in proximity to the interim interface device at the particular location; the interim interface device, from the watch mode, detecting that the transponder device is in proximity to the interim interface device; the interim interface device initiating communication with the proximate transponder device; and the interim interface device interfacing with the transponder device to transmit the data packet from the interim interface device to the transponder device; wherein the application is selected from the group consisting of a loyalty application, a rewards application, a public transportation application, and a building access application; the transponder device includes at least one loaded application; and the transponder device includes a self destruct portion, the self destruct portion causing the inoperability of the at least one loaded application.

19. A method for altering the state of a transponder device in the field, the transponder device used by a transponder user, and the transponder device disposed in a user device of a user, the method comprising:
-
inputting, by a communication portion, an alteration request from a user for an application to be disposed upon the user'"'"'s transponder device disposed in the user device of a user, the communication portion forwarding particulars of the request to an alteration portion; performing processing, by the alteration portion, of the particulars of the request, the processing including; accessing a database to retrieve data to process the alteration request; generating an information packet for the user based on the retrieved data, the generating the information packet including adding location information into the information packet, the location information regarding a particular location to alter the transponder device; outputting the information packet to the user device of the user; generating a data packet based on the retrieved data, and outputting the data packet to an interim interface device; and maintaining, by the interim interface device, a watch mode to detect when the transponder device is in proximity to the interim interface device at the particular location; detecting, by the interim interface device, from the watch mode, that the transponder device is in proximity to the interim interface device; initiating, by the interim interface device, communications with the proximate transponder device; and interfacing, by the interim interface device, with the transponder device to transmit the data packet from the interim interface device to the transponder device; and wherein the alteration portion is in the form of a computer processing machine.
