CAPACITIVE INFORMATION CARRIER PATTERN INTEGRATED INTO PRINT PRODUCT ARTWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a planar, capacitive information carrier comprising a graphic artwork and electrically conductive areas forming a code layout wherein the graphic artwork and code layout coincide. The coincidence of the graphic artwork and code layout makes it difficult for a user of the information carrier to differentiate between the aesthetic and functional parts of the information carrier. The information carrier may also comprise inactive electrically conductive elements for further distracting the attention of said user from the functional code layout. In another aspect, the invention relates to information carrier and a method for reading out an information carrier.
