Tamper-resistant dynamic transaction card and method of providing a tamper-resistant dynamic transaction card
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A dynamic transaction card comprising:
- an outer layer comprising a plastic material;
electrical components;
at least one connector between the electrical components, wherein;
the connector is constructed from a conductive, dissolvable material;
a mixed polymer is injected into molding to irreversibly cure the plastic material to creat the connector; and
upon dissolving the outer layer using a solvent, the at least one connector is dissolved to break the connection between the electrical components and deactivate the dynamic transaction card.

Abstract
A dynamic transaction card that is manufactured using conductive plastic jumpers that will dissolve when in contact with a solvent used to tamper with the dynamic transaction card. Internal components of a dynamic transaction card may be manufactured using a synthetic or semi-synthetic organic material, such as, for example, plastics. These materials may be conductive to provide functionality to a dynamic transaction card, such as a connection between an integrated circuit and other card components such that when the materials dissolve, the connections are broken and the dynamic transaction card may be inactive due to the loss of various connections.

12. A method of manufacturing a dynamic transaction card:
-
preparing a plastic mixture to construct at least one connector for a dynamic transaction card; injecting the plastic mixture into a molding for the at least one connector, wherein the plastic mixture is irreversibly cured in the molding; creating connections between electrical components of the dynamic transaction card using the at least one connector; and securing the components of the dynamic transaction card and at least one connector between two outer layers, wherein each outer layer is constructed out of a plastic material, wherein by dissolving at least one outer layer the at least one connector dissolves to break the connection between the electrical components and deactivates the dynamic transaction card. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
