PROCESSING DEVICE FOR THE CONTACTLESS COMMUNICATION WITH A DATA CARRIER WHICH IS DETACHABLY CONNECTED TO THE PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

A processing device (1;14) having a housing (4) includes first communication means (2, 6) for receiving and/or transmitting an information signal (AS) and processing means (7) for processing the information signal (AS) received and/or to be transmitted, as well as second communication means (10, 11) for the contactless retrieval of control information (BI, TI) stored in a data carrier (12) which is detachably connected to the housing (4) of the processing device, which processing of the information signal (AS) by the processing device (1;14) can be influenced with the aid of the retrieved control information (BI, TI).
