摘要：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. Optical security chip areas, including reflective optical recording medium for recording optical data, are formatted on a carrier utilizing the same layout and spacing as integrated circuit chips formatted on an integrated circuit chip carrier so that the optical security chip carrier may be loaded onto the smart card/integrated circuit card manufacturing equipment. In one embodiment, the carrier may remain blank and optical security chips are defined and removed by a punching tool of the integrated circuit card manufacturing equipment. A cavity is milled in a card body. The 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 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 fraudulent manipulation or duplication of the card.
