Abstract

See full text

A method for the automated manufacture of personal optical security cards utilizing commercial equipment known in the art for creating integrated circuit chip cards, also known as smart cards. A cavity is milled in a card body. An optical security chip carrier is loaded onto the smart card manufacturing machine and the milled card is fed into the machine. The optical security chip carrier uses the same layout and spacing as an integrated circuit carrier chin so that the optical carrier may be loaded onto the machine. The optical security chip is removed, for example, by being punched out from the optical security chip carrier, and is embedded within the card cavity with the smart card manufacturing machine. Optical data and graphical elements may be recorded on the optical security chip and/or card body to personalize the card and to decrease the possibility of fraud.
