Abstract: The present application relates to an electronic document module comprising a medium having a so-called internal face provided with at least two contact interfaces with an antenna, each of the contact interfaces with the antenna of the internal face of the medium being configured to be in contact with a connection pad of an antenna of an electronic document body, and with a chip comprising at least one I/O port, and one of the two contact interfaces with the antenna of the internal face of the medium being connected to the I/O port of the chip. The application also relates to an electronic document comprising such a module and a method for checking a connection between the module and a corresponding antenna.

Abstract: A method for collecting transaction history data and an associated terminal device. The method may include: collecting on-line, from a remote server (SV), first history data (DT) representative of at least one transaction associated with a user account (15); communicating contactlessly with a smart card (2), during which the terminal (T) recovers second history data (DH) stored locally in a memory (10) of the smart card, the second history data being representative of transactions processed by the smart card in association with the user account (15); and analyzing, during which the terminal (T) aggregates the first and second history data in order to obtain up-to-date history data. It is thus possible to generate transaction-following data from the up-to-date history data.

Abstract: Methods and devices for sending security information are disclosed. The methods may be performed by an electronic device and may include several steps or operations, such as: detecting an event encountered by the electronic device; storing security information that is representative of the event in a secure memory of the device; after the storing, starting a transaction with an external terminal; and sending the security information to the external terminal in a transaction message during the transaction.

Abstract: A hinge lid container (100) for consumer articles comprises a box portion (102) formed from a blank having a thickness (T) and defining a front wall of the box portion (102); a lid portion (104); and an inner frame (108) received within the box portion (102). A portion of an inner frame front wall (110) extends beyond an upper edge of the box portion front wall. A magnetic closure comprising a first magnetic material (200) is provided on an inner surface of the lid portion (104). A second magnetic material (202) is provided on the inner frame front wall (110). The first and second magnetic materials (200, 202) overlap when the lid portion (104) is in the closed position to magnetically retain the lid portion in the closed position.

Abstract: A container for consumer articles is at least partially formed from a laminar blank having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a thickness (T) of from about 100 micrometers to about 350 micrometers. The laminar blank defines a portion of the container that comprises a first planar wall and a second planar wall connected to one another by a first edge portion. The inner surface of the first edge portion comprises one or more ablated lines extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the first edge portion, each of which is provided as a groove within the blank, having a minimum residual thickness (RT) of from about 15 percent to about 40 percent of the thickness (T) of the laminar blank, and an ablated width (X) as measured transversely to the longitudinal direction of the first edge portion.
