COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a system comprising a reader (20) and a contactless integrated circuit intended to be connected to an antenna to be incorporated, together with the integrated circuit, in a portable object body, and a method for communicating with such an integrated circuit. The invention is characterised in that the integrated circuit and the reader are electrically connected through conductive lines (25, 26) so that said reader and said integrated circuit are able to communicate according to a contactless communication protocol, without antennas. The invention specifically applies to contactless cards.
