Abstract:
1. A smart card device for providing wireless network and secure personal token features to a cellular communication device, said smart card device comprising: a protocol element for providing an interface between a transceiver of said cellular communication device and said smart card device, wherein said transceiver establishes a connection between said cellular communication device and a computing system by way of a wireless network; a memory element, in communication with said protocol element, for storing at least one of: a network profile, an identity profile, or a transaction instrument profile; a processor element in communication with said protocol element and said memory element, wherein said processor element is configured to receive a selection of at least one of: said network profile, said identity profile, or said transaction instrument profile; and facilitate a transaction using a parameter stored within at least one of: said network profile, said identity profile, or said transaction instrument profile; a validation element for validating a user credential, wherein said user credential is provided to an interface of said cellular communication device in response to a credential prompt, and wherein said validation is based on said user credential and said identity credential; an interface element for presenting a transaction instrument prompt at said cellular communication device, wherein said transaction instrument prompt is in response to said validating; and a sending element for sending an authorization response to said protocol element, wherein said authorization response is constructed based on a prompt response and said transaction account credential, and wherein said cellular communication device processor sends said authorization response to said network; wherein the cellular communication device includes a Network Access and Credential Verification (NACV) module in communication with the memory element and with a server in the wireless network, and wherein the NACV module functions as a transaction instrument reader and includes a transaction manager for providing an interface for entry of a personal identification number (PIN) and payment authorization.
