Abstract

A device can include a display; memory that stores biometric information and commercial information; a sensor that senses biometric information; authentication circuitry that authenticates sensed biometric information at least in part via a comparison to stored biometric information; and display circuitry that renders at least one graphic to the display based at least in part on a portion of the commercial information responsive to authentication of sensed biometric information. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Claims

1. An electronic card comprising:

a graphical display disposed on a side of the electronic card;

memory that stores biometric information and commercial information;

a sensor disposed on the electronic card and separate from the display wherein the sensor senses biometric information and senses touch input;

authentication circuitry that authenticates sensed biometric information from the sensor at least in part via a comparison to stored biometric information;

display circuitry that renders at least one graphic to the display based at least in part on a portion of the commercial information responsive to authentication of sensed biometric information;

handwriting recognition circuitry that recognizes handwriting from the sensor based at least in part on touch input received via the sensor; and

navigation circuitry that scrolls information rendered to the graphical display based at least in part on touch input received via the sensor.

2. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the device comprises a standardized card form factor.

3. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the at least one graphic comprises at least one character.

4. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the at least one graphic comprises a universal product code (UPC).

5. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the at least one graphic comprises a quick response code (QRC).

6. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the commercial information comprises account information.

7. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the commercial information comprises account information for a plurality of accounts.

8. The electronic card of claim 7 comprising selection circuitry that selects one of the plurality of accounts.

9. The electronic card of claim 8 wherein the selection circuitry is wherein the selection circuitry receives output from the sensor for selection of the one of the plurality of accounts.

10. The electronic card of claim 8 comprising a button coupled to the selection circuitry.

11. The electronic card of claim 7 wherein the display circuitry scrolls graphic renderings for the plurality of accounts responsive to successive authentications of sensed biometric information.

12. The electronic card of claim 11 comprising a timer that determines whether an authentication is a successive authentication.

13. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the sensor comprises a fingerprint sensor and a touch input sensor.

14. The electronic card of claim 1 wherein the display circuitry renders a graphical representation of sensed handwriting to the display.

15. The electronic card of claim 1 comprising a battery.
