I have a Ruby on Rails web app via which I want to access my smart card 
reader connected to my PC via a USB.

The idea is to press a button in the web app to initiate read action in the 
card reader.[I have a ruby script to read the data serially].I however want 
to extend the functionality to the web app,i.e. when the user clicks the 
read button on the webapp the card details are read via the card reader and 
displayed in the web page(Ruby on Rails web app). I am not sure on how to 
go about it. These are some of the "sources" that I have encountered online 
which might be the possible way: 

WebUSB API 
chrome.usb 
libusb

Anyone who has previously done the same please guide me on how to go about 
it.
