Benefits of technology
The patent describes a handheld device that can be used as a replacement for a smartcard on a transit vehicle. The device has a NFC interface that allows it to receive information from a host device, such as a phone, in a standard smartcard format. The device stores the information and provides a notification when it has been received. The device can also be used to access the transit vehicle by receiving an identifier from the fare access media on the vehicle. The device displays, stores, or processes the information it receives from the host device. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more convenient and secure way to access transit vehicles using a handheld device that can be used as a smartcard replacement.
Problems solved by technology
Where such information cannot be stored on the fare media then conventional handheld devices often require constant communication within a backend or remote server to process information to determine this status.
This causes delays in processes requiring such data transmissions.

Embodiment Construction
[0014]For the purposes of explanation, the ensuing description provides specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that various embodiments may be practiced without some of these specific details. For example, circuits, systems, networks, processes, and other components may be shown as components in block diagram form in order not to obscure the embodiments in unnecessary detail. In other instances, known circuits, processes, algorithms, structures, and techniques may be shown without unnecessary detail in order to avoid obscuring the embodiments. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form.
[0015]Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for utilizing standard smartcard message command and reply protocols to emulate a smartcard using a handheld transit fare device. Such systems and methods utilize existing near fiel...

A handheld transit fare device is provided. The transit fare device includes an NFC interface configured to send and receive data, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, via the interface, a list of transactions from a host device using standard smart card protocol commands and reply structures. The list of transactions includes identifiers of fare access media used to gain access to a transit vehicle. The processor is configured to store the list of transactions on the memory and to provide a first indication that the list of transactions has been received. The processor is configured to receive, via the interface, an identifier from a fare access media on the transit vehicle, determine whether the identifier from the fare access media matches one of the identifiers from the list of transactions, and provide a second indication that provides a result of the determination.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This nonprovisional application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 914,248, filed on Dec. 10, 2013, the complete disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Fare collection systems used in transit systems often involve handheld fare devices that interrogate transit fare media to determine the usage history and status of that media. Where such information cannot be stored on the fare media then conventional handheld devices often require constant communication within a backend or remote server to process information to determine this status. This causes delays in processes requiring such data transmissions.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]In one aspect, a handheld transit fare device is provided. The transit fare device may include a near field communication (NFC) interface configured to send and receive data, a memory, and a processor. The processor may be configured t...
