Abstract

A smart card and a communication method thereof are provided. The smart card comprises a flexible electronic system and a card body. The flexible electronic system comprises a display circuit, a communication interface, a security module, code generator and a flexible display. The communication interface is used for communicating with a reader. The security module is used for transmitting security verification information to the reader. The code generator is electrically connected to the security module and used for generating a code. The flexible display is connected to the display circuit and used for displaying the code. The card body encapsulates the flexible electronic system. After an input device receives the inputted code, the reader transmits the inputted code and the security verification information to the confirmation server to confirm whether the inputted code and the security verification information are correct.

Claims

1. A smart card, comprising:

a flexible electronic system, comprising;

a display circuit;

a communication interface used for communicating with a reader;

a security module used for transmitting security verification information to the reader through the communication interface;

a code generator electrically connected to the security module and used for generating a code; and

a flexible display connected to the display circuit for displaying the code; and

a card body used for encapsulating the flexible electronic system;

wherein, after an input device receives the inputted code, the reader transmits the inputted code and the security verification information to a confirmation server to confirm whether the inputted code and the security verification information are correct.

2. The smart card according to claim 1, wherein the code is a one-time code.

3. The smart card according to claim 1, wherein the code generator is integrated with one of the security module and the display circuit.

4. The smart card according to claim 1, wherein the input device is a keyboard, a voice input device or a button.

5. A smart card, comprising:

a flexible electronic system, comprising;

a wireless communication interface used for performing wireless communication with a reader;

a security module used for transmitting security verification information to the reader through the wireless communication interface; and

a card body used for encapsulating the flexible electronic system; and

an input device electrically connected to the flexible electronic system, wherein after the input device is triggered, the security module transmits the security verification information to the reader, which then transmits the security verification information to a confirmation server to confirm whether the security verification information is correct.

6. The smart card according to claim 5, further comprising:

a code generator electrically connected to the security module and used for generating a code.

7. The smart card according to claim 6, further comprising:

a flexible display used for displaying the code;

wherein, after the input device is triggered, the reader transmits the displayed code to the confirmation server to confirm whether the displayed code is correct.

8. The smart card according to claim 7, wherein the flexible electronic system further comprises:

a display circuit electrically connected to the flexible display;

wherein, the code generator is integrated with one of the security module and the display circuit.

9. The smart card according to claim 5, further comprising:

an indication element electrically connected to the code generator, wherein the indication element of the smart card outputs an indication signal after the code is generated.

10. The smart card according to claim 5, wherein the reader comprises an indication element, and the indication element of the reader outputs an indication signal before the input device of the smart card is triggered.

11. A communication method of a smart card, wherein the method comprises:

performing a communication between a smart card and a reader;

the smart card generating a code;

the smart card displaying the code;

an input device receiving the input of the displayed code, wherein the input device is electrically connected to the reader;

the reader transmitting the inputted code to a confirmation server to confirm whether the inputted code is correct;

the smart card transmitting security verification information to the reader; and

the reader transmitting the security verification information to the confirmation server to confirm whether the inputted code and the security verification information are correct.

12. The communication method according to claim 11, further comprising:

the reader requesting the smart card to provide at least one of the code and the security verification information.

13. A communication method of a smart card, wherein the method comprises:

performing a wireless communication between a smart card and a reader;

After an input device of the smart card is triggered, the smart card transmits the security verification information to the reader, which then transmits the security verification information to a confirmation server to confirm whether the security verification information is correct.

14. The communication method according to claim 13, further comprising:

the smart card generating a code; and

After the input device of the smart card is triggered, the smart card transmits the code to the reader, which then transmits the code to the confirmation server to confirm whether the code is correct.

15. The communication method according to claim 13, further comprising:

the reader requesting the smart card to provide the security verification information.

16. The communication method according to claim 14, further comprising:

the reader requesting the smart card to provide at least one of the code and the security verification information.

17. The communication method according to claim 13, further comprising:

the smart card displaying the code; and

After the input device is triggered, the reader transmits the displayed code to the confirmation server to confirm whether the displayed code is correct.

18. The communication method according to claim 13, wherein the smart card comprises an indication element, and the communication method further comprises:

the indication element of the smart card outputting an indication signal after the code is generated.

19. The communication method according to claim 13, wherein the reader comprises an indication element, and after the wireless communication between the smart card and the reader is performed, the communication method further comprises:

the reader outputting an indication signal.

20. The communication method according to claim 13, wherein the code is a one-time code.
