CPC G06K 19/0723 (2013.01) [H05K 1/181 (2013.01); H05K 2201/10098 (2013.01); H05K 2201/10151 (2013.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A contactless communication device, comprising:
an electronic integrated circuit chip;
an antenna coupled to the electronic integrated circuit chip to supply an electric signal for powering the electronic integrated circuit chip; and
an ambient luminosity detection element external to the electronic integrated circuit chip;
wherein the ambient luminosity detection element comprises a band made of a photoresistive polymer or of a photoresistive resin that is electrically coupled to the electronic integrated circuit chip; and
wherein the electronic integrated circuit chip is configured to read an ambient luminosity level measured by the ambient luminosity detection element, compare said ambient luminosity level with a darkness threshold, and authorize a contactless communication only when said ambient luminosity level is greater than said darkness threshold.
