ABSTRACT:
A method for sound-enabling a plastic card without interfering with the operation of the card consists of drilling small holes in the card in the area that does not have a magnetic strip or embossed characters, and inserting thin integrated circuits containing a touch sensor, a speaker, a rechargeable capacitor and a controller. A thin sticky film is used to hold the system together. Electrical connectors on the surface of the card are used to recharge the battery and to change the recording. The user of the plastic card can activate the sound recording by pushing a touch sensor.
