CHIP CARD WITH A MEASURING CIRCUIT THAT HAS A SENSOR, AND METHOD OF MAKING THE CHIP CARD

摘要

The chip card (11) includes at least one integrated circuit (11) fitted with a memory unit, in which personal data and/or at least one chip card identification code and/or configuration parameters can be stored. The integrated circuit is enclosed in an insulating material (3) that forms said card. The chip card (1) also includes connecting means (2) for communicating with an electronic instrument. These connecting means are electrically connected to corresponding contact pads of the integrated circuit. The chip card further includes a measuring circuit with a sensor for measuring a physical parameter so as to provide at least one output signal relating to the measurement (SD) of the physical parameter. The measuring circuit containing a sensor is arranged in a rigid case to define an electronic module (10), which is enclosed in the insulating material (3) that forms said chip card. The measuring circuit includes a movement sensor (C) for detecting a shock or for measuring an acceleration, and a sensor interface connected to the sensor for supplying a physical parameter measurement signal. The measuring circuit is electrically connected through the module case to external connection terminals on the case.
