A sensor of a communication device detects whether a card associated with an account is present within a range. Responsive to the communication device detecting the card is outside the range of the sensor longer than a user specified time limit, the communication device sends a first communication to an account provider system via a network for the card to automatically place an account associated with the card on hold, wherein the account provider system blocks transactions to the account when the account is placed on hold. Responsive to the communication device detecting the card return within the range of the sensor, the communication device sends a second communication to the account provider system via the network to automatically reactivate the account associated with the card, wherein the account provider system allows transactions to the account when the account is reactivated.

User communication device based card presence monitoring and account status control

A method, computer program product, and data processing system for analyzing trace data containing bus transactions taking place in packets of varying length is disclosed. A dump of raw trace data from a logic analyzer is stored in a computer file. A computer program then analyzes the raw trace data to identify the locations of packets within the raw trace data. A packet type is determined for each packet, and data fields are extracted from the packet, according to the packet type. A summary of each packet containing the data fields and their contents is then presented to a user.
