Abstract

The disclosure provides a portable electronic card system and a method for manufacturing a rewritable plastic card. The portable electronic card system includes: a portable personal electronic device, a rewritable plastic card and a writing device. The portable personal electronic device is used for obtaining a certificated code and a personal information from a database by internet. The rewritable plastic card has a rewritable storage device for storing the personal information. The writing device electrically connects to the portable personal electronic device, and is used for writing the personal information into the rewritable plastic card.

Claims

1. A portable electronic card system, comprising:

a smart phone or a tablet computer, for obtaining a certificated code and a personal information for writing into a rewritable plastic card from a database located out of the smart phone or the tablet computer by internet, the smart phone or the tablet computer comprising;

an application module for inputting an application data by applicant in manual operation; and

a communication module for communicating with a remote controller located out of the smart phone or the tablet computer and transmitting the application data to the remote controller by Internet, and then receiving a password from the remote controller when the application data be verified by the remote controller, wherein the password is originally unknown to applicant, the application data is originally known to applicant without any certificated code and being filled in an application list by applicant for recording in the smart phone or the tablet computer before communicating with the remote controller and transmitting the application data to the remote controller;

a program module used to input the password received from the remote controller and transmit the password to the remote controller, and then receiving the certificated code from the remote controller when the password be verified by the remote controller, and then transmitting the certificated code to the remote controller for verification, wherein the certificated code is originally unknown to applicant,

wherein the personal information be downloaded to the smart phone or the tablet computer from the remote controller after verifications of the password and the certificated code originally unknown to applicant by the remote controller through a bidirectional verifying communication between the remote controller and the smart phone or the tablet computer and for storing the personal information and for transferring the personal information into the rewritable plastic card,

wherein the bidirectional verifying communication comprising;

when the smart phone or the tablet computer receives the password and the certificated code originally unknown to applicant, the program module feedbacks the password and the certificated code originally unknown to applicant to the remote controller for verification,

the rewritable plastic card, having a rewritable storage device for storing the personal information;

a writing device, electrically connecting to the smart phone or the tablet computer and writing the personal information; and

a reading device, electrically connecting to the smart phone or the tablet computer and reading the personal information from the rewritable plastic card;

wherein the writing device and the reading device are embedded in the smart phone or the tablet computer.

2. The portable electronic card system according to claim 1, wherein the database is installed in the remote controller.

3. The portable electronic card system according to claim 1, wherein the smart phone or the tablet computer stores a plurality of personal information, the smart phone or the tablet computer further comprises a selecting module for selecting one of the personal information.

4. The portable electronic card system according to claim 1, wherein the rewritable storage device of the rewritable plastic card comprises at least one magnetic strip or at least one chip.

5. The portable electronic card system according to claim 1, wherein the writing device comprises a slot for accommodating the rewritable plastic card.

6. The portable electronic card system according to claim 1, wherein the rewritable plastic card is used for a credit card, a banking card, an automatic teller machine card, membership card, a private identification card, a debit card or a key card.

7. The portable electronic card system according to claim 1, wherein the rewritable plastic card further comprises a screen.

8. A method for manufacturing a rewritable plastic card, comprising:

(a) obtaining a certificated code and a personal information for writing into a rewritable plastic card from a database of a remote controller located out of a smart phone or a tablet computer by using the smart phone or the tablet computer by internet, and using an application module located inside of the smart phone or the tablet computer to input an application data by applicant in manual operation, and using a communication module located inside of the smart phone or the tablet computer to communicate with the remote controller and transmit the application data to the remote controller by Internet, and then receiving a password originally unknown to applicant from the remote controller after the remote controller verifies the application data, and using a program module located inside of the smart phone or the tablet computer to input the password received from the remote controller and transmit the password to the remote controller, and receiving the certificated code originally unknown to applicant from the remote controller after the remote controller verifies the password, and transmitting the certificated code to the remote controller for verification, wherein the application data being without any certificated code and being filled in an application list by applicant for recording in the smart phone or the tablet computer before communicating with the remote controller and transmitting the application data to the remote controller;

wherein the personal information be downloaded to the smart phone or the tablet computer from the remote controller after verifications of the password and the certificated code originally unknown to applicant by the remote controller through a bidirectional verifying communication between the remote controller and the smart phone or the tablet computer, and for storing the personal information into the program module and for transferring the personal information into the rewritable plastic card by the program module,

wherein the bidirectional verifying communication comprising;

when the smart phone or the tablet computer receives the password and the certificated code originally unknown to applicant, the program module feedbacks the password and the certificated code originally unknown to applicant to the remote controller for verification,

(b) writing the personal information from the program module into the rewritable plastic card by using a writing device; and

(c) reading the personal information from the rewritable plastic card by using a reading device.
