Benefits of technology

The patent describes a smarter way to use a smartphone and a protective case. The case is made of hard materials to protect the phone, and it also contains a chip and slot for a universal card. This card can be used to store information about the phone, such as its camera or music collection. The case also has a security feature that allows remote access to the phone's information if it is lost or stolen. Overall, this system makes it easier and safer to use a smartphone.

Problems solved by technology

Traditionally, credit, loyalty, and personal information cards are insecure.
In the event that the cards or information is lost, users are forced to immediately call each individual card issuer and have their cards canceled.
Currently there are no smart-phone cases which allow consumers to simply logon to website and temporarily suspend all card use via the application with the click of a button, and then be able to purchase an additional case and reload the card information within hours.
