Abstract: A security element for a data input device and a method for detecting intrusion in the data input device. The security element has a shape suited to closing contacts via each of two extremities respectively on first and second printed-circuit boards of the data input device when the data input device is in the closed position. The extremities are not electrically connected to each other.

Abstract: A keyboard of a data entry device includes a printed circuit board, a spacer having a plurality of key-positioning locations, a plurality of keys, each key being disposed so as to be at least indirectly in contact with a corresponding key imprint on the printed circuit board and a plate of transparent material in which holes corresponding to each key are made. The printed circuit board, the spacer and the plate of transparent material are applied so as to constitute an assembly that is non-dismountable from the exterior of the data entry device.

Abstract: A power supply base for a payment terminal is provided with a housing having an opening for receiving a memory card. The power supply base includes a guide for guiding the payment terminal towards a position wherein it can receive the power supply, the guide including at least one guiding part shaped in such a way as to enable the insertion thereof into the opening of the payment terminal.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing the entry of data by pressing on a touch surface of an electronic terminal. The method includes: configuring a pressing validation time delay, delivering a variable pressing validation time delay according to at least one predetermined variation parameter and a rank of the pressing in a series of several pressings; and managing a plurality of pressings on the touch surface of the electronic terminal, taking account of the variable pressing validation time delay configured.

Abstract: A device is provided for supporting a magnetic reading head. The device includes a guide for guiding and cushioning the reading head. The guide is mounted between a base of the reading head and a bearing surface parallel to the base, and includes at least one part made of a material, the Young's modulus of which is greater than 200 N/mm2.

Abstract: A payment device is provided, which is to be paired with a communication device in order to form an electronic payment terminal. The payment device includes an upper half-shell and a lower half-shell, which includes a surface for attaching a modular interface for pairing the communication device and which includes a longitudinally extending slot. The lower half-shell further includes, within the slot, an opening which enables a magnetic reading head to pass therethrough. Beneath the attachment surface, an electronic circuit card is arranged laterally relative to the magnetic reading head such that the electronic circuit card prevents the insertion of a fraudulent device into the payment device.
