Chip card e.g. subscriber identity module card, for e.g. portable telephone, has sensor interface connected to sensor of measurement circuit, where circuit is placed in rigid case for defining electronic module

摘要

The card has an integrated circuit (11) with a memory unit e.g. Flash memory, for storing personal data, chip card's identification code and/or configuration parameters. A measurement circuit is placed in a rigid case for defining an electronic module (10). The measurement circuit has a movement sensor (C) e.g. triaxial accelerometer, for detecting an impact or measuring acceleration. A sensor interface is connected to the sensor to supply a physical parameter e.g. acceleration, measurement signal. The measurement circuit is electrically connected to external connection terminals on the case. An independent claim is also included for a method for fabricating a chip card.
