Abstract:
1. A simulated contactless identification card reader, comprising: an antenna adjacent a card presentation image printed on at least a portion of a substantially planar paper sleeve, the antenna, coupled to and housed substantially within the substantially planar paper sleeve, for exchanging wireless signaling with a contactless identification card presented to the card presentation surface; a detection unit coupled to the antenna and the substantially planar paper sleeve to detect a presence of a contactless identification card; and an output indicator coupled to the detection unit and the substantially planar paper sleeve to provide a user-perceivable indication when the detection unit detects a presence of a contactless identification card, wherein the simulated contactless card reader is not able to receive any data from the contactless identification card responsive to said detection, and further wherein the simulated contactless identification card reader is not able to directly or indirectly communicate data from the contactless identification card to any person or device outside the simulated contactless identification card reader.
