Abstract
The card has a magnetic strip with pertinent information encoded by the issuer. The magnetic strip provides monetary transaction capability, facility access, security access, and privilege access so that the card can be encoded as desired by the issuer. The magnetic strip and CPU also include medical information of a user. The card also has a battery pack that is in communication with the internally housed transponder, CPU, and GPS capability. By way of the antenna, the transponder communicates with an existing GPS transponder. A distance limitation is encoded into the card. When the card exceeds the distance limitation, the existing transponder is alarmed. The existing GPS transponder receives location information from the card so that the card user can be recovered.
