Problems solved by technology

Recharging by bank card is only possible if the user has an account that allows him to hold a credit card, it limits access to the business
Also, some users are reluctant to give out their credit card numbers over the phone, although communication for this type of transaction is very secure
Finally, monthly recharges that are directly debited limit the user's freedom to choose whether to recharge his card

Embodiment Construction

[0070] The device according to the invention comprises a contactless smart card (1), a recharging kiosk (2), a mobile terminal (3), eg a GSM terminal, and a recharging server (4).

[0071] A contactless smart card (1) is a card that includes a chip (11) connected to an antenna (12) for radio frequency communication between the smart card (1) and a device that can send information to the chip or request the chip to transmit information communication. A contactless smart card may eg be a card using RFld technology.

[0072] The recharge kiosk (2) interfaces with the contactless smart card (1) through conventional communication means between the contactless smart card and the kiosk suitable for such a card. The recharge kiosk (2) can also interface with the recharge server through conventional means between the application and the kiosk. The recharge kiosk (2) can be interactive, in other words it can communicate with the user to help him in his operations. Each recharge kiosk...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for utilizing a wireless device to recharge a signature card. The invention relates to a device which is used to recharge for a non-contact smart card (1), which comprises a recharging telephone booth (2) which is provided with identification characters which specially aims at the recharging telephone booth (2) and can communicate with the non-contact smart card (1), a moving terminal (3) provides a recharging managing procedure (33) which can communicate with a recharging server (4) through any-type communication devices, a device which passes through communication network and pays through an identification module, and a recharging server (4). The invention is characterized in that the moving terminal (3) comprises a shape reading device (31) which is used to obtain identification characters of the telephone booth (2) and the relative recharging method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recharging a signature card by using a wireless device, and is especially suitable for the field of telecommunication. Background technique [0002] The widely distributed use of contactless smart cards is known in the prior art. The technology is widely distributed in many industries, including transportation and leisure. In the transportation industry, validation machines for magnetic and mechanical tickets are replaced by contactless smart cards and appropriate telephone booths. Similarly, in the leisure industry, ski resorts use similar technology to replace their fixed fees. One of the main disadvantages of using such cards is that they have to be reloaded very frequently. This recharging requires the use of traditional payment methods such as bank cards or cash payments. [0003] The telecommunications sector, especially the telephony sector, is a major consumer of rechargeable cards. This is why telepho...
