Abstract:
An RF reception system including a terminal and a portable object such as a smart card for communicating with the terminal. The system includes an RF receiver for receiving a plurality of data flows from an RF signal. The portable object includes a data storage area. The data storage area includes predetermined data identifying a specific data flow. The system further includes selection means for selecting the specific data flow identified by the predetermined data from the plurality of data flows.
Abstract:
The chip card comprises a card body (24) and an embedded chip module (14) having a plurality of contact fields (C1-C8) connected to respective terminals of the chip. The card body further comprises a positioning feature (28) adapted to univocally identify said contact fields according to their location and orientation on the card body. The positioning feature is a hole or a notch formed on the card body in an area including the chip module such as a contact field (C1-C8) which has no electrical functionality as contact field C6 according to ISO 7816-2. The invention is particularly adapted to card bodies including a plug-in removable portion of smaller size comprising said chip module and said positioning feature such as smaller size 'mini-plug' SIMs for mobile phones.
