Personal Money Management Device - The intent of this project was to create a personal banking device for the year 2020. This device is supposed to replace the current wallet. Incorporating credit cards cash and anything else you might keep in your wallet or use your wallet for.

Trends Research

Technology Research - WITH ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY THE PERSONAL MONEY MANAGEMENT DEVICE’S DESIGN IS VIRTUALLY LIMITLESS.

Ideation - MY IDEATIONS STARTED AS MORE OF A PDA LOOKING DEVICE, BUT WITH MORE THOUGHT MY DEVICE TURNED INTO A MORE ERGONOMIC DEVICE THAT COULD BE OPERATED SECURELY WITH ONLY ONE HAND.

Ideation - WITH THIS ONEHANDED DESIGN, THE OPERATOR HAS ENHANCED SECURITY BY HAVING VERY LITTLE OF THE DEVICE EXPOSED WHILE IN USE. IT ALSO GIVES THE USER A GOOD GRIP TO DETER THEFT.

Final Direction - THIS IS THE FINAL DIRECTION OF THE PERSONAL MONEY MANAGEMENT DEVICE. THE THUMB PAD IS A TOUCHPAD SIMILAR TO TOUCHPAD’S ON TODAY’S LAPTOP COMPUTERS, BUT ALSO HAS A FINGERPRINT SCANNER FOR PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION. THE SCREEN EXPOSES ITSELF ONCE THE OWNERS FINGERPRINT IS VERIFIED, AND RETRACTS WHEN A TRANSACTOIN ENDS. I ALSO DREW AN INFLATING POUCH ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DEVICE TO GIVE THE OPPEREATOR A BETTER GRIP AND TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE DEVICE WHILE BEING CARRIED IN A POCKET OR PURSE.

Features - This personal money management device can do anything your wallet, check book, computer, and atm can do and more. It contains a thumb scanner so there is no more need to check a signature . It automatically changes your currency when you cross borders, eliminating the need for currency exchange. It contains all your account information: current balances, due dates on your credit cards, your car note, savings and checking accounts, and so on. This device can wirelessly transmit money to anything

Rhino Model - THIS IS A QUICK RHINO MODEL JUST TO VERIFY THE SKETCHES BEFORE CREATING THE FINAL MOCKUP MODEL.

Physical Model - This is the final physical mock up. As you can see it fits very well in the hand and while in use there is very little for a thief to grab.
