Dans un aspect, le pion est constitué de plusieurs parties qui peuvent être éloignées. Une première partie contient l'électronique et l'intelligence. Une seconde partie contient la signature du pion. Les deux parties sont reliées par des moyens filaires conducteurs d'information ou par des ondes sans fil.  In one aspect, the pawn is made up of several parts that can be moved away.

Les figures annexées représentent un mode particulier de l'invention sur lesquelles :  The appended figures represent a particular embodiment of the invention in which:
- La figure 1 représente une coupe simplifiée de côté du pion selon l'invention  - Figure 1 shows a simplified side section of the pin according to the invention

La figure 1 représente une coupe simplifiée de côté du pion (P). L'utilisateur maintient le pion (P) avec sa main sur la zone de maintien (ZM) conductrice. Un circuit conducteur (10) traverse le pion (P) et va atteindre la semelle (ZS) du pion (P) qui est posée sur l'écran capacitif du terminal numérique. La figure 2 représente la semelle (ZS) du pion (P) qui présente une série de picots conducteurs maillés entre eux. En touchant la zone de maintien (ZM) et en plaquant la semelle (ZS) du pion (P) sur l'écran capacitif, l'utilisateur transmet sa conductivité à l'écran qui lit une série de points tel que sur la semelle du pion. Cette lecture est couplée dans d'autres brevets à une signature de l'identité du pion. Un interrupteur électronique (11) monté dans le pion (P) peut couper et ouvrir le circuit conducteur (10). Ce pilotage du circuit conducteur permet donc d'émettre des informations sous une forme alternée d'ouverture / fermeture à l'écran, et permet ainsi une transmission en bit d'information. Un peu à la façon du morse, le pion peut donc parler et être entendu par l'écran capacitif. Cette faculté du pion de parler au terminal numérique à travers l'écran capacitif ouvre donc de forte perspective en terme de fonctionnalité du pion qui gagne une forme d'intelligence et qui peut donc revêtir des fonctions utiles pour par exemple le jeu, la bureautique, la communication. La figure 3 représente une variante avancée de l'invention dans laquelle l'électronique interrupteur (11) est monté sur un clé de stockage USB (30). La clé de stockage (30) étant de type connu avec une fiche mâle USB (31) destinée à être raccordée à des ports USB d'ordinateurs. La clé UBB (30) comporte une électronique de commande et de stockage (33), montée sur une carte (32), qui dialogue avec l'ordinateur à travers la fiche mâle (31) avec l'ordinateur en se branchant dessus. Un interrupteur électronique (11) est monté en série sur la carte (32) avec la l'électronique de commande et de stockage (32) qui pilote l'interrupteur électronique (11). L'ensemble de cet interrupteur électronique est branché par une première sortie (37) sur la zone de maintien et par une seconde sortie (35) vers la zone de signature (ZS). Sous une forme particulière la seconde sortie (35) est connectée à la fiche mâle de la clé de stockage USB (30). La figure 4 représente l'intégration d'une clé USB de stockage (30) montée dans un pion (P) avec une ouverture (40) permettant de retirer et de repositionner la clé dans le pion (P). Il est bien compris que l'utilisateur peut ainsi utiliser sa clé dans sa fonction stockage, par exemple pour recueillir ou préciser des informations qui seront ensuite transmises au terminal numérique avec les moyens tels que décrits dans la présente invention. La figure 5 représente un pion (P) en deux parties selon une première variante de l'invention. Selon cette figure, le pion (P) est tel que celui décrit en figures 1 à 4. Sa différence tient dans le fait que sa semelle de signature (ZS) est détachée du pion et reliée au pion par un liaison filaire conductrice ((50). Cette solution offre l'avantage de pouvoir faire évoluer le pion sur une surfac de jeu exportée de cellle du plateau de jeu tout en continuant à envoyer des informations de jeu au terminal numérique à travers son écran capacitif. La figure 6 représente une variante du même type que celle de la figure 5, à la différence que dans ce cas, la liaison entre le ion (P) et la zone de signature (ZS) se fait par une liaison sans fil. Figure 1 shows a simplified sectional side of the pin (P). The user holds the pin (P) with his hand on the conductive holding zone (ZM). A conductive circuit (10) passes through the pin (P) and reaches the sole (ZS) of the pin (P) which is placed on the capacitive screen of the digital terminal. Figure 2 shows the sole (ZS) of the pin (P) which has a series of conductive pins meshed with each other. By touching the holding zone (ZM) and pressing the sole (ZS) of the pin (P) on the capacitive screen, the user transmits its conductivity to the screen which reads a series of points such as on the sole of the pawn. This reading is coupled in other patents to a signature of the identity of the pawn. An electronic switch (11) mounted in the pin (P) can cut and open the conductive circuit (10). This piloting of the driver circuit thus makes it possible to transmit information in an alternating form of opening / closing on the screen, and thus allows information bit transmission. A bit like the walrus, the pawn can speak and be heard by the capacitive screen. This ability of the pawn to speak to the digital terminal through the capacitive screen thus opens up a strong perspective in terms of functionality of the pawn which gains a form of intelligence and which can thus take on useful functions for example the game, the office, Communication. Figure 3 represents an advanced variant of the invention in which the switch electronics (11) is mounted on a USB storage key (30). The storage key (30) being of known type with a USB plug (31) intended to be connected to USB ports of computers. The key UBB (30) comprises a control and storage electronics (33), mounted on a card (32), which communicates with the computer through the plug (31) with the computer by plugging on it. An electronic switch (11) is connected in series on the board (32) with the control and storage electronics (32) which controls the electronic switch (11). All of this electronic switch is connected by a first output (37) to the holding area and a second output (35) to the signature area (ZS). In a particular form the second output (35) is connected to the plug of the USB storage key (30). Figure 4 shows the integration of a storage USB key (30) mounted in a pin (P) with an opening (40) for removing and repositioning the key in the pin (P). It is well understood that the user can thus use his key in its storage function, for example to collect or specify information which will then be transmitted to the digital terminal with the means as described in the present invention.
