  • Patent number: 10515299
    Abstract: A document includes a sensor, at least one antenna, a first processor, a second processor, storage, and a switch. The first processor is configured to communicate with an external reading device via the antenna. The switch is configured to switch the antenna between a first stable state in which a communication is prevented between the first processor and the reading device, and a second stable state, in which a communication is possible between the first processor and the reading device. The sensor is configured to detect a first identification feature of a user of the document. The second processor is configured to compare the first identification feature with a second identification feature saved in the storage, wherein the second processor is configured to switch the switch to a second state if there is conformity between the first identification feature and the second identification feature.
