A method, system, token and scanning device for gesture-based security are provided. The token includes an information storage module such as an RFID system or a microchip system of a contactless smart card, and a fiducial marker of the token, such as a unique optically recognizable pattern. The token scanning device includes a detection module configured for retrieving details from the information storage module, a motion tracking module for tracking a trajectory of the fiducial marker relative to the scanning device, and an authentication module for authenticating the token if the tracked trajectory matches sufficiently to a reference trajectory associated with the token. A user can authenticate a usage of the token such as a financial transaction by gesture-based motion of the token to match the reference trajectory.

Method, apparatus and system for gesture based security

A method and apparatus for setting an internal register of an integrated circuit (IC) via a multiplexed pin which also passes an RF signal is provided. An internal RF signal path couples the pin to an internal terminal for the RF signal, and a register setting signal path couples the pin to an internal register. The internal register may be an address register, such as a USID address register of a MIPI RFFE bus. A capacitor on the RF signal path may block the constant voltage, and a resistor or inductor on the register setting signal path may block the RF signal. The integrated circuit may include an RF section and a controller section, where the controller section may be used to control the RF section. The controller section is responsive to an address associated with the address register.
