Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart card technology, and more specifically, to an interactive commemorative card kit. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Near Field Communication (NFC) technology has been widely used in access control cards, payment cards, and some cultural and creative products. For example, the hotel industry commonly uses NFC cards as room keys, while some cultural and creative products use built-in NFC tags to provide users with interactive experiences that allow them to jump to specific web pages or listen to music.

[0003] However, existing NFC cards, whether used as hotel room keys or ordinary cultural and creative products, typically have a rather simple structure and design, lacking sufficient aesthetic value and emotional appeal. They are more often seen as disposable or functional tools than as keepsakes worth treasuring long-term. Furthermore, these cards are usually delivered independently, lacking accompanying packaging and display design, further diminishing their sense of ritual and value as souvenirs.

[0004] Therefore, the urgent technical problem to be solved is how to provide a kit that not only enhances the artistic appeal and commemorative value of the NFC card itself, but also integrates the NFC card into a kit that combines protection, display, and a sense of ceremony through a matching card sleeve design, thereby transforming a simple functional tool into a complete cultural and creative gift worthy of permanent collection by users. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an interactive commemorative card kit, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing NFC cards having a simple structure, lack of artistry and commemorative value, and being unsystematic.

[0006] This utility model provides an interactive commemorative card kit, including: an interactive commemorative card; and a card sleeve for storing the interactive commemorative card; wherein, the interactive commemorative card includes: a card body with a through hole; a transparent sheet disposed in the through hole; and an electronic tag embedded in the card body, wherein the electronic tag stores a jump link for accessing media content.

[0007] As can be seen, this utility model cleverly binds a physical card to a specific piece of online digital content (such as music or video) through a built-in electronic tag containing media content links. This endows the card with interactive functions and emotional value that transcend its physical form, allowing users to relive specific fond memories at any time through simple interaction. Furthermore, by providing a matching card sleeve, not only is this uniquely designed interactive commemorative card effectively protected, but the overall quality and sense of ceremony of the product are also enhanced, making it a more exquisite and thoughtful formal commemorative gift. Thus, a functional tool is completely elevated into a cultural and creative product that combines emotional value, interactive experience, and collectible significance, solving the problem of the lack of a systematic approach in existing technologies.

[0008] Optionally, the sleeve includes a back plate and a front plate, the opening of the front plate is arc-shaped, and the height of the front plate is less than the height of the back plate.

[0009] It is evident that this irregular design, which is lower in the front and higher in the back, can reveal the core design elements (such as the transparent sheet) at the top of the commemorative card when it is stored, thus achieving both protection and display effects and enhancing the overall appeal of the product.

[0010] Optionally, the electronic tag on the interactive commemorative card is a near-field communication tag.

[0011] As can be seen, the use of NFC technology provides an extremely smooth and convenient user experience. When listening to music, simply tap your phone against the screen; there's no need to install an app or scan a code, meeting modern users' demands for efficient and seamless interaction.

[0012] Optionally, the electronic tag of the interactive commemorative card is a rewritable electronic tag. In addition to storing a jump link, the rewritable electronic tag can also be temporarily written with data to enable access control functionality.

[0013] As can be seen, this solution cleverly endows this highly commemorative card set with temporary practical functions. For example, in a hotel setting, while serving as a souvenir for guests, the cards can also have their room information temporarily written into them during their stay, functioning as room keys. This not only doesn't diminish its commemorative value but, through the combination of functions, creates a deeper connection between the card set and a specific experience of the guest (such as a trip), enhancing the meaning and value of the souvenir.

[0014] Optionally, the electronic tag of the interactive commemorative card includes: a second electronic tag for enabling access to the media content; a first electronic tag for enabling access control; and a shielding layer disposed between the first electronic tag and the second electronic tag.

[0015] As can be seen, this solution, by setting up two independent tags separated by a shielding layer, allows media access and access control functions to coexist without interference. This provides users with a more convenient and complete experience. For example, during their stay, guests can use the card to listen to music at any time, and also use it to open the room door, ensuring both access control security and convenient media playback.

[0016] Optionally, the transparent sheet of the interactive commemorative card may be printed with a transparent or semi-transparent pattern.

[0017] It is evident that by printing exquisite transparent or semi-transparent patterns on the transparent sheet in the core visual area, not only is the artistic beauty and design of the card further enhanced, making it more like a work of art, but it also serves as a visual prompt to guide users to interact with NFC, achieving a perfect combination of function and aesthetics.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing a complete kit including an interactive commemorative card and a matching card sleeve, this utility model solves the problem of the single and unsystematic design of existing NFC cards. Specifically, the innovative structure of embedding a transparent sheet into the card body successfully transforms a standard NFC media interactive card into a cultural and creative product with high artistic and collectible value; while the uniquely designed card sleeve combines protection and display functions. The combination of these two elements transforms a one-time consumer experience into a lasting, ritualistic brand memory and emotional connection, providing related industries with a new, high-value-added customer relationship maintenance tool.

[0027] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.

[0030] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0031] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The interactive commemorative card 1 includes a card body 11, preferably with a finished size of 140mm x 90mm. A through-hole 12 is provided on the card body 11, and a transparent sheet 13 is fixed inside the through-hole 12. The transparent sheet 13 has a transparent or semi-transparent pattern printed on it. To facilitate user identification of the interactive area, an NFC logo is also printed on the surface of the card body 11, below the transparent sheet 13. The card body 11 has a multi-layered structure, preferably made of laminated wood-textured paper with a weight of less than 300g. Its material and thickness are sufficient to conceal the internally encapsulated electronic tag 14, ensuring overall aesthetics. The electronic tag 14 is pre-programmed with a URL link at the factory, which points to specific music or video content.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3The card sleeve 2 is preferably 142mm x 95mm in size and is used to store the interactive commemorative card 1. The card sleeve 2 is preferably made of 300g wood-textured paper, cut in one piece and folded along pre-set creases. This material is sufficiently stiff and not easily deformed, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the commemorative card. Figure 3 As shown, in its unfolded state, the paper body includes a rectangular center 22, a first side wing 23 and a second side wing 24 connected to both sides of the rectangular center 22, a bottom folding portion 25 connected to the bottom of the rectangular center 22, and an adhesive edge 26 connected to the outside of the first side wing 23. The outer edges of the first side wing 23 and the second side wing 24 are both curved. The front and back surfaces of the card holder 2, i.e., the folded front and back surfaces, are printed with graphic information. When folded, the bottom folding portion 25 folds upward to form the bottom support of the card holder 2; subsequently, the first side wing 23 folds inward, and the second side wing 24 folds inward and covers the adhesive edge 26 of the first side wing 23 for fixation, together forming the front panel of the card holder 2, while the rectangular center 22 forms the back panel of the card holder 2. Since the outer edges of the first side wing 23 and the second side wing 24 are both curved, when they overlap, they form an arc-shaped opening 21 on the front of the card holder 2, which is composed of two intersecting arcs. The design of this opening makes it convenient for users to take out the commemorative card, and its height is lower than the height of the back plate. Thus, when storing the interactive commemorative card 1, the transparent sheet 13 and the pattern on its upper part can be exposed, which has both protection and display functions.

[0034] Secondly, the practical functions and usage scenarios of the interactive commemorative card of this utility model will be explained.

[0035] Example 1: Time-division multiplexing of a single tag

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the electronic tag 14 disposed within the card body 11 of the interactive commemorative card 1 is a rewritable NFC electronic tag 14. It stores the URL link of the media content.

[0037] It should be noted that, due to the limited storage capacity of a single conventional NFC electronic tag 14, it can typically only store one type of data instruction. That is, access control authorization information and media content URL redirection links are mutually exclusive at any given time and cannot coexist. Therefore, in this embodiment, function switching is accomplished through data overwriting operations.

[0038] When this commemorative card kit is used in a hotel setting, its workflow is as follows:

[0039] During check-in (temporarily used as a room key): Upon check-in, the hotel presents this kit to the guest as a souvenir. Simultaneously, front desk staff use a dedicated reader / writer to temporarily write the guest's room number, check-in validity period, and other access control authorization information into the NFC electronic tag 14 of the interactive souvenir card 1. This writing operation temporarily overwrites the original URL redirection link. During this phase, the card temporarily functions as an access control card, allowing the guest to unlock the hotel door using the sensor area.

[0040] Check-out stage (restored as a souvenir): Guests can take this kit with them when checking out. The hotel access information will automatically expire after its validity period. To restore its media interaction function, it needs to be rewritten, that is, the expired access information is cleared by hotel staff (or through automated equipment), and the original URL redirect link is rewritten into the electronic tag 14, so that it is completely restored to a pure media interaction souvenir card.

[0041] Usage: After returning home, customers simply need to bring their NFC-enabled mobile phone close to the card, and the phone will automatically jump to the music link, allowing them to relive the wonderful memories of their trip anytime.

[0042] The advantage of this embodiment is that it cleverly combines a souvenir and a practical tool at a relatively low hardware cost.

[0043] Example 2: Dual-label partitioning isolation

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the interactive commemorative card 1, in addition to serving as a media interactive souvenir, also incorporates an independent access control system. Specifically, the card body 11 contains two independent NFC electronic tags encapsulated within its interlayer, and a shielding layer 143 (e.g., ferrite material) is disposed between these two electronic tags.

[0045] The second electronic tag 142 is a media tag, which has a URL link pointing to a specific piece of music pre-installed at the factory. The first electronic tag 141 is an access control tag used to store access control information. The shielding layer 143 absorbs and blocks electromagnetic waves to prevent both tags from being activated simultaneously by a reader or mobile phone, thus avoiding signal interference.

[0046] Its workflow is as follows:

[0047] During check-in: When a guest checks in, hotel staff only need to write the information onto the first electronic tag 141 to enter the room access control information. The second electronic tag 142 remains unaffected. During their stay, guests can either use the card to open the door by tapping it against the lock, or use their mobile phone to listen to music at any time by tapping the card against the tag.

[0048] Check-out stage: Customers can take this commemorative card kit with them directly without returning it to the front desk for any processing, because the access control information in the first electronic tag 141 will automatically expire with the preset validity period.

[0049] The advantages of this embodiment are that the functions are clearly divided and do not interfere with each other, which enhances security and simplifies the hotel's operation process. Customers can enjoy all the functions during their stay and have a better experience.

[0050] In summary, the interactive commemorative card and card sleeve provided by this utility model cleverly combines a patterned transparent sheet, a built-in electronic tag, and the card body. It not only has the aesthetic value of an artwork, but also innovatively endows it with the ability to interact with users through digital content, greatly enhancing the added value of the product and the user experience. It is a cultural and creative product with great creativity and market potential.
