Abstract: An information tag for exchanging information with an external device, including a tag body, a contact memory module disposed on the tag body, the contact memory module being configured to exchange information with the external device via electrical conduction, and a first remotely accessible data module disposed on the tag body, the first remotely accessible data module being configured to exchange information with the external device without contact with the external device.

Abstract: Information devices including a casing, a circuit board installed in the casing, the circuiting having electrically conductive contact surfaces, and a memory device in electrical communication with the circuit board. In some examples, the information device includes a remotely accessible data device positioned on the casing or the circuit board. In some examples, the information device includes a symbology element disposed on the casing or the circuit board. In some examples, the information device includes a transceiver coupled to the casing or the circuit board.
