Method and Apparatus for Preventing Concealed, Unauthorized Wireless Data Access

摘要

In a method and an apparatus for preventing concealed, unauthorized wireless data access, a communication and identification element (1) which belongs to a transaction or identification system and wirelessly interchanges data has an electrical or mechanical interruption element (2) which prevents the wireless data connection (4) and is permanently in the interrupted position. The sensor elements (7) integrated in the communication and identification element can convert the acting force into an electrical, capacitive, resistive, inductive or piezoelectric signal, with the result that the interruption of the wireless data connection is cancelled during the time of the action of force.

主权项

1. A method for preventing concealed, unauthorized wireless data access, wherein a communication and identification element which belongs to a transaction or identification system and wirelessly interchanges data has an electrical or mechanical interruption element which prevents or interrupts the wireless data connection,
the method comprising setting the electrical or mechanical interruption element permanently in the interrupted position, and cancelling this interruption of the wireless data connection or the interrupted position either permanently or only during the time of action by virtue of the action of a defined force or a capacitive, electrical, electromagnetic or magnetic field on the communication and identification element from the outside at one or more defined locations.
