- the electronic circuitry (27) of the reader medium (24) may additionally have its own temporary storage means (27a) as well as means of data validation (27b).
- the external reader means (24) consists of a device comprised in a substantially cylindrical or flat elongated housing (29), which disposes at its media end of coupling (25) consisting of the present practical embodiment in an opening (30) preferably opened by its middle plane, suitable for coupling to an external electronic chip through the electrical contacts (31) arranged for this purpose.
- the external reader medium (24) has means for activating / deactivating reading (32).
- said external reader means (24) has communication means (26) with said user interface (1), which in the present practical embodiment consist of an electric cable (33) which at its other end is connected to the communications port (23) of the user interface (1).
- the electrical cable (33) is connected to the user interface (1) by means of a suitable connector, preferably not permanently connected to the user interface.
- a suitable connector preferably not permanently connected to the user interface.
- communication between the user interface (1) and the external reader medium (24) can be established by any conventional transmission means such as cable transmission, radio transmission or optical transmission.
- both the electronic circuitry (27) of the external reader medium (24) and the communications port (23) of the user interface (1) will have the signal converting means as well as the appropriate receiver / transmitter means.
- said external information and data carrier (34) can incorporate a microchip (35) of the type used in smart cards.
- Said microchip must cover all the specifications of the ISO 7816 standard for chip cards, except for the dimensions of the physical support, that is, instead of being placed on a plastic card, it will be placed on a different support ( 36) such as a rigid fabric tag or any rigid material that functions as a label.
- the microchip (35) is a silicon microprocessor with asynchronous communication, which will be an induplicable and unique piece, which prevents it from being copied.
- the operating system or mask of the chip supports an encryption system called (DES) that can make communication with the device reading it completely secure and therefore avoids fraud not only in the tag (chip), but also avoids it in the reader.
- DES encryption system
