Abstract:
The described payment device includes an integrated power source including a piezoelectric accelerometer. Upon motion of the payment device, kinetic energy may be translated to a mass of the piezoelectric accelerometer to generate electrical energy to power other functions of the payment device. Motion translated to the piezoelectric accelerometer may also be used in combination with other inputs to implement security functions of the payment device.
