Passive Wireless Article with Passcode Touch Sensor Array

摘要

Mechanisms are provided, in a portable wireless device, for enabling transmission of stored data from the portable wireless device. The portable wireless device receives an interrogation signal requesting that the portable wireless device transmit stored data. The portable wireless device detects, in response to receiving the interrogation signal, a pattern of activated touch sensors on the portable wireless device activated at approximately a same time. The portable wireless device compares the detected pattern of activated touch sensors to a required pattern of activated touch sensors. The portable wireless device transmits the stored data in response to the detected pattern of activated touch sensors matching the required pattern of activated touch sensors.
