  • Patent number: 6126078
    Abstract: An identification medium with passive electronic data carrier and contactless, encoded communication with an associated read and write station (WR) has in a memory (42) a data organization with a common data field (CDF), with invariable, uncopiable master data (44), with a segmentable application data field (ADF), in which several independent applications can be written in application segments S1, S2, S3). A hierarchical authorization system (A) valid for all the identification media (IM-S) and all the read and write stations (WR) is established, with which each identification medium (IM-S) must be initialized and which ensures the mutual uninfluenceability of all the independent applications.

  • Patent number: 5844244
    Abstract: The contactless identification carrier which can be carried by a person and having access functions for particular areas, particularly skiing areas, is constructed as a separate, flat carrier element and is fixed in interchangeable, portable manner on a personal bracelet PA. The carrier element (1) contains a passive, integrated, electronic data carrier MI with processor, as well as an integrated antenna (2) surrounded by a dielectric (4) and a detachable fixing device (3). The antenna has partly open radiating surfaces FAO, which are not covered by electrically conductive parts of the personal bracelet PA. This gives a universally usable identification and access medium with very good comfort and convincing practical characteristics.
