Multi-part system for deploying near field communications in order to facilitate the ability of a visually-impaired person to ascertain the identity of a playing card
A multi-part system utilizing an active-passive configuration of Near Field Communications (“NFC”) in order to facilitate the ability of a visually-impaired person to: (i) ascertain the specific rank and suit of a playing card and (ii) maintain privacy of information regarding the identity of the card. The present invention comprises: (i) a passive “NFC Tag” that is embedded within a playing card and that is encoded with the information necessary to identify the rank and suit of the card and (ii) an active “NFC Reader” that is disposed within a wearable sheath and is designed to receive and to relay the said information to a wearable earpiece and (iii) a said earpiece that deploys a combination of hardware and software in order to convert the said information to an audible signal that identifies the card for a user of the invention.
