ABSTRACT:
Chip cards that operate contact-free are supplemented by additional elements to enable remote transmission of data. Also, elements include sensors that enable the acquisition of physical, chemical or biological information from the environment of the card. Further, the card includes elements for storing electrical energy, electronic components for constructing an electronic oscillation circuit for the remote transmission and reception of data, as well as a switch accessible by a user for selectively connecting the energy storage elements to the electronic components thereby forming an electromagnetic oscillation circuit for the transmission of electromagnetic oscillations with information modulated thereon. In a preferred embodiment, one or both of the coils that are provided on the card are connected via the switch such that the coils serve as an antenna for the electromagnetic oscillation circuit for the remote transmission of data. In addition, the electronic oscillation circuit operates at a frequency which differs sufficiently from the frequency used in the short-distance transmission and also lies outside of the harmonics of the short-distance transmission so that a receiver of the information can differentiate merely on the basis of frequency, whether the remote transmission or the short-distance transmission is active.
