Claim:
1. A card, comprising: an electrically non-conductive substrate with a top surface and a bottom surface; a coupling point disposed on the top surface of the non-conductive substrate; a plurality of conductive lines each having a first end and a second end and disposed on the top surface of the non-conductive substrate, each conductive line connecting with the coupling point at the first end of the conductive line; a plurality of conductive points disposed on the bottom surface of the non-conductive substrate, each conductive point connecting with the second end of the conductive line through a conductive via embedded inside the electrically non-conductive substrate; and a switch positioned between one of the conductive points and the coupling point and switchable between an open state and a closed state, wherein the conductive points activate a first pattern of first locations on a touchscreen of an electronic device and provide the card with a first identification when the switch is in the open state, and wherein the conductive points activate a second pattern of second locations on the touchscreen of the electronic device and provide the card with a second identification when the switch is in the closed state.
