`ABSTRACT
`
`A transponder-reader payment system includes a fob includ
`ing a transponder, and a RFID reader for interrogating the
`transponder. The system may further include a personaliza
`tion system for populating onto the fob and RFID reader
`identifying information and security and authentication keys
`which may be used during mutual authentication of the fob
`and the reader and for completing a transaction. In exem
`plary operation, the fob and RFID reader may be personal
`ized, the fob may be presented to the RFID reader for
`interrogation, the fob and reader may engage in mutual
`authentication, and fob identifying information may be
`provided to the reader for transaction completion. In another
`exemplary embodiment, operation of the transponder-reader
`payment system may be controlled by an activation circuit.
`Further, the fob may be responsive to multiple interrogation
`signals.

`SYSTEMAND METHOD FOR PAYMENT
`USING RADIO FREQUENCY
`IDENTIFICATION IN CONTACT AND
`CONTACTLESS TRANSACTIONS
`
`RELATED APPLICATIONS
`
`This invention claims priority to U.S. Provisional Appli
`cation No. 60/304216, entitled “SYSTEMAND METHOD
`FOR RFID PAYMENT, filed on Jul. 10, 2001 and incor
`10
`porated herein by reference.
`
`FIELD OF INVENTION
`
`This invention generally relates to a system and method
`for completing a transaction, and more particularly, to
`completing a financial transaction using Radio Frequency
`Identification (RFID) in contact and contactless transactions.
`
`15
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`2
`passed to a third party server database, where the identifi
`cation data is referenced to a customer (e.g., user) credit or
`debit account. In an exemplary processing method, the
`server seeks authorization for the transaction by passing the
`transaction and account data to an authorizing entity. Once
`authorization is received by the server, clearance is sent to
`the point of sale device for completion of the transaction. In
`this way, the conventional transaction processing method
`involves an indirect path which causes undue overhead due
`to the use of the third-party server.
`A need exists for a transaction authorization system which
`allows Fob transactions to be authorized while eliminating
`the cost associated with using third-party servers.
`In addition, conventional fobs are limited in that they
`must be used in proximity to the Point of Sale device. That
`is, for fob activation, conventional fobs must be positioned
`within the area of transmission cast by the RF interrogation
`signal. More particularly, conventional fobs are not affective
`for use in situations where the user wishes to conduct a
`transaction at a point of interaction Such as a computer
`interface.
`Therefore, a need exists for a fob embodying RFID
`acquisition technology, which is capable of use at a point of
`interaction device and which is additionally capable of
`facilitating transactions via a computer interface connected
`to a network (e.g., the Internet).
`Existing transponder-reader payment systems are also
`limited in that the conventional fob used in the systems is
`only responsive to one interrogation signal. Where multiple
`interrogation signals are used, the fob is only responsive to
`the interrogation signal to which it is configured. Thus, if the
`RFID reader of the system provides only an interrogation
`signal to which the fob is incompatible, the fob will not be
`properly activated.
`Therefore, a need exists for a fob which is responsive to
`more than one interrogation signal.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`Described herein is a system and method for using RFID
`technology to initiate and complete financial transactions.
`The transponder-reader payment system described herein
`may include a RFID reader operable to provide a RF
`interrogation signal for powering a transponder system,
`receiving a transponder system RF signal, and providing
`transponder system account data relative to the transponder
`system RF signal. The transponder-reader payment system
`may include a RFID protocol/sequence controller in elec
`trical communication with one or more interrogators for
`providing an interrogation signal to a transponder, a RFID
`authentication circuit for authenticating the signal received
`from the transponder, a serial or parallel interface for inter
`facing with a point of interaction device, and an USB or
`serial interface for use in personalizing the RFID reader
`and/or the transponder. The transponder-reader payment
`system may further include a fob including one or more
`transponders (e.g., modules) responsive to one or more
`interrogation signal and for providing an authentication
`signal for verifying that the transponder and/or the RFID
`reader are authorized to operate within the transponder
`reader payment system. In this way, the transponder may be
`responsive to multiple interrogation signals provided at
`different frequencies. Further, the for may include a USB or
`serial interface for use with a computer network or with the
`RFID reader.
