Abstract:
The present invention detects the current flowing through the contacts of the smart card reader due to the presence of a “shim”. Small value resistors are connected in series with either the Power connection or the Ground connection, or both. Values are typically 47 milliohms to 100 milliohms. The use of such small values ensures that little voltage is dropped across the resistors and that the card is therefore adequately powered. With no card present, the current through these resistors should be zero and therefore the voltage across the resistors will also be zero. Amplifier circuits are employed to monitor and amplify the voltage across the resistors and in the “PayPod” design the amplifier outputs are connected to analogue to digital inputs on the microprocessor. Where the microprocessor (or other processing electronics) used has no analogue to digital inputs, separate analogue to digital circuits may be used. The microprocessor may then monitor the current flowing into the power supply contacts of the card reader.
