Abstract

A credit card (10) issued to an authorized user which looks like a conventional credit card, but is slightly thicker to house some electronics which enable the card to read (11) the authorized user's fingerprint initially, and only once, and store the fingerprint 'signature', and display (12) on the card the need for a Private PIN Number. The display changes to 'PIN # O.K.' when the same fingerprint is read again. The credit card has a computer chip disposed in a recess therein, and includes a microprocessor and a memory. The credit card is provided with a conventional fingerprint reader and a display such as an LCD display.

Description

PATENT APPLICATION PRIVATE PIN NUMBER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to credit cards and, more particularly, to the use of fingerprint technology to identify the authorized user of a credit card.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Typically, the user of a credit card memorizes a four or five digit personal identification number (PIN) and keys in the number at a card reading machine such as an automated teller machine (ATM) to prove that the user is authorized to use the credit card. Due to the increase of credit card fraud, a more foolproof method is needed to identify the authorized user of a credit card.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION In accordance with the principles of the present invention, there is provided a credit card incorporating therein a fingerprint reader and a display. The credit card of the present invention also includes a microprocessor comprising an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), a random access memory (RAM), and a masked read only memory. A battery is connected to the computer chip, as are the fingerprint reader and the display. The credit card is issued to a potential user who permits the card to initially "read" his fingerprint. The fingerprint "signature" is stored in the credit card. The display on the credit card displays the message that a Private PIN Number is needed. When the same fingerprint is read again, the display message changes to "PIN # O.K.". The display stays "O.K." for a specified period of time and then reverts to the previous message. Card reading machines like ATM are equipped with a display reader to read the display on the credit card.

Reference numbers refer to the same or equivalent parts of the invention throughout the several figures of the drawing.
BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Referring now to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, there is illustrated a credit card
10 constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. Typically, the credit card 10 is made of plastic and is similar to conventional credit cards except that it may be slightly thicker to accommodate electronic elements disposed in the interior thereof. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the credit card 10 is provided with a fingerprint reader 11 and a display 12. The display 12 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), or the like. Fingerprint readers are well known. The California Department of Motor Vehicles employs a fingerprint reader identified as a model MINI. II manufactured by Fingermatrix Inc. of Dobbs Ferry, New York. An article surveying fingerprint technology was published in the Los Angeles Times on April 2, 1995. Some manufacturers of apparatus used in fingerprint technology are the following: Identix Inc., Sunnyvale, CA; Digital Biometrics Inc., Minnetonka, Minn.; Cogent Systems, Alhambra, CA; Printrak, Costa Mesa, CA, Fitcorp, Redondo Beach, CA; and Nippon Electric Co. (NEC) of Japan.
Referring now to Fig. 3 of the drawings, there is shown a fragmentary cross- sectional view of the credit card 10. As can be seen in Fig. 3, a recess 15 is molded in the credit card 10. An adhesive layer 16 employing epoxy resin or the like is disposed in the bottom of the recess 15. A computer chip 17 is disposed in the recess 15 and secured by the adhesive layer 16. A printed circuit board (PCB) 18, including printed circuit wiring, is installed in the recess 15 to interconnect the various electronic elements such as the fingerprint reader 11, the display 12 and the computer chip 17. Referring now to Fig. 4, there is shown a block diagram of the interconnection of the various electronic elements of the credit card 10. The computer chip 17 includes a microprocessor 20, an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) 21, a random access memory (RAM) 22, and a masked read only memory (ROM) 23. A battery 24 is connected to the computer chip 17, as are the fingerprint reader 11 and the display 12.
Referring again to Fig. 1, in operation, a credit card 10 is issued to a potential user. The user initially applies a thumb or finger 27 to the fingerprint reader 11. This enables the credit card 10 to "read" one fingerprint initially, and only once, and then store the fingerprint "signature". The display 12 displays a message that a Private personal identification number (PIN) Number is needed. When the same fingerprint is read again, the message on the display 12 changes to "PIN # O.K. ". The display 12 displays the "O.K. " message for a predetermined length of time. After the predetermined length of time has elapsed, the previous message is restored.
Referring to Fig. 5, there is shown a diagrammatic outline drawing of an embodiment of a card reading machine 30, such as an automated teller machine (ATM), or the like. The card reading machine 30 is provided with an opening 31 into which the credit card 10 is inserted. The card reading machine 30 is provided with a display reader 32 that is positioned to read the message on the display 12.
Referring now to Fig. 6, there is shown a flow chart of method steps employed in utilizing the credit card 10 of the present invention. At the start of the process, block 40 indicates that the authorized user's fingerprint is initially read by the fingerprint reader 11 on the credit card 10. Block 41 indicates that the fingerprint signature is stored. Block 42 indicates that the display 12 displays a message indicating that a Private PIN Number is required. Block 43 indicates that the fingerprint reader 11 reads the same fingerprint again. Block 44 indicates that the display 12 displays the message: "PIN # O.K.". Block 45 indicates that the message on the display 12 is read by a display reader 32 in card reading machine 30. Finally, block 46 indicates that after a specific time delay, the message displayed by the display 12 reverts to the original message that a Private PIN Number is required.
Thus, the user of a credit card no longer needs to memorize a four or five digit PIN and key the number in to a card reading machine to p /e that the user is authorized to use the credit card. The credit card 10 of the present invention reduces the incidence of credit card fraud, because it provides a more foolproof method to identify the authorized user of a credit card.
It is to be understood that the above-described embodiment is merely illustrative of some of the many specific embodiments which represent applications of the principles of the present invention. Clearly, numerous variations can be readily devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
