“USB CARD READER” was devised with the purpose of reading specially constructed USB flash drives designed in the shape of a credit card. Such a USB flash drive was created and developed by the Israeli company Walltex Inc.
Unlike other USB readers, this “USB CARD READER” had to meet particular requirements – both mechanical and regarding software:
- Mechanical (regardless of the way the card is inserted, it always needs to have contact, as well as great mechanical resilience – the keyboard facing the operator has to be exceptionally robust);
- Software (enables internet connection via mini USB connectors, exceptionally capable hardware which can read such a large memory card – up to 64GB, and the memorization of all transactions executed with this card).
Such a card reader allows for the use of all the advantages which this USB flash drive offers, namely:
- Paying bills using the flash drive
- Conducting marketing activities (paying extra drinks after a certain amount is spent)
- User ID in the case of security issues
