  • Publication number: 20130273999
    Abstract: The invention relates in particular to a method for saving the state of a session of a game played by at least two players, the game including game elements having chips that are capable of contactless communication with a terminal via an interface. The terminal includes a screen, the game consisting of presenting game elements to the interface, each player being identified by the terminal by a game element referred to as the master element. According to the invention, the saving method involves: recording the history of the game session, recording the game elements which have not been in play, if applicable, and recording the game elements in the possession of the players at the time that the game was interrupted, by means of master elements, so as to be able subsequently to resume the game session in the same state in which the game was when interrupted.

  • Patent number: 8359729
    Abstract: A method for producing a device having a transponder antenna connected to contact pads. An antenna with terminal connections is provided in contact with a substrate. The contact pads are placed on the substrate and connected to the terminal sections of the antenna. The connection is produced by means of a soldering by introducing energy between the pads and the terminal sections. The pads are placed such as to provide a surface facing an antenna terminal connection section. The section is arranged on the substrate and the soldering energy is directly applied to the pads. The invention also relates to the device obtained.

  • Patent number: 8107246
    Abstract: The invention relates to a format adapter comprising a storage device having: a front surface provided with electrical contact pads opposite a rear surface defining a lower peripheral border (2a); a body having a cavity (4) for receiving the device and opening on a front and rear side of the body, and; an adhesive film (8a), which is sensitive to pressure, adhered to the rear side of the body and which has at least one adhesive portion inside the cavity in order to hold the storage device. The adhesive film has an inner recess (10) essentially centered on the cavity and has at least one shoulder bordering on the cavity that assures a localized adhesion only on the lower peripheral border (2a) of the storage device. The invention also relates to a method for producing the adapter and to a use of the adapter for manufacturing and packaging the storage device.

  • Patent number: 7837122
    Abstract: A method of producing a smart card having a reduced format in relation to a second standard format and an adapter with the second format, which is associated with the smart card. A card body has a zone for the extraction of the smart card and a zone for the extraction of the adapter. At least the smart card is extracted from the support. The smart card is extracted from a zone located outside the peripheral outline of the adapter extraction zone. The invention also relates to the support thus obtained.

  • Publication number: 20100200662
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a device comprising a radio frequency transponder antenna, said method comprising a step of producing the antenna with two terminal sections (15, 17) on a support by means of a wiring technique. The method is characterised in that it comprises a step of producing an end point (9) on an antenna wire at the end of at least one of said terminal sections (5, 15, 17). The invention further relates to the device thus produced.
