Definitions
- Radio-frequency identification device
- the present invention relates to a radio-frequency identification device, in particular a device that is insertable inside foldable documents, possibly provided with a cover.
- the invention furthermore relates to a foldable document, in which a radio-frequency identification device is inserted.
- Radio-frequency identification devices are known from the prior art that are constituted by an antenna made into a spiral in conductive material and by an integrated circuit, or microchip, applied between the two ends of the antenna.
- the antenna may be constituted by a conductive track made by printing with conductive inks, on a stiff or flexible support, or can be made with metal engraved on said support, or by means of conductive wires wound and fixed on said support .
- the integrated circuit connected to the ends of the antenna is always placed inside the antenna coil. This means that to connect the outermost end of the antenna with the innermost end through the integrated circuit it is necessary to make a connecting bridge that is insulated from the coils of the antenna.
- Known radio-frequency identification devices can be inserted into different types of documents such as, for example, membership cards, credit cards, tickets for shows or events in general .
- Radio-frequency identification devices have recently been inserted into other types of documents, such as, for example, passports or folding documents in general, which may be provided with covers, i.e. documents constituted by two parts that can be folded in relation to each other along a preset folding line.
- the insertion into a foldable document of a radio-frequency identification device of the type disclosed above has the problem of protecting the integrated circuit of the radio- frequency identification device, which could get damaged due to incorrect folding of the document, i.e. folding along folding lines that are different from the preset one or get damaged by violent blows, e.g. rubber-stamping.
- the present invention proposes providing a radio-frequency identification device that can be inserted into a foldable document in such a way that the risk of accidental damage to the device due to incorrect folding of the document or to blows such as stamping of stamps is eliminated or at least greatly reduced.
- a radio-frequency identification device comprising an antenna constituted by a conductive element wound in a spiral configuration and an integrated circuit connected to the ends of said antenna, characterised in that said integrated circuit is arranged outside said spiral configuration.
- the positioning of the integrated circuit outside the spiral configuration of the antenna enables the integrated circuit to be placed in the most suitable position in a foldable document, to eliminate, or at least minimise, the risk of damage to the circuit due to incorrect folding of the document or due to blows to it .
- a document foldable along a preset folding line in which there is inserted a radio-frequency identification device comprising an antenna and an integrated circuit connected to the ends of said antenna, characterised in that said integrated circuit is arranged in the proximity of said preset folding line.
- the position of the integrated circuit in the proximity of the said preset folding line corresponds to the zone of greatest rigidity of the foldable document, in particular when the document is provided with a semi-rigid cover.
- the integrated circuit is in a zone of the document that is unlikely to be affected by incorrect folding or by blows such as rubber-stamping, which eliminates or greatly reduces the risk of damage to the integrated circuit.
- Figures 1 and 2 illustrate embodiments of a prior-art radio- frequency identification device
- Figures 3 and 4 illustrate embodiments of a radio-frequency identification device according to the invention
- Figures 5 and 6 illustrate embodiments of a foldable document provided with a radio-frequency identification device according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a radio frequency identification device 1 comprising an antenna 2 constituted by a conductive track 2a comprising a series of concentric coils 3 to constitute a spiral-shaped configuration.
- the conductive track 2a is made, for example, by printing with conductive ink on a support element or is made in an engraved lamina of aluminium or copper.
- the antenna 2 has two ends: a first end 7 that constitutes the start of the innermost coil 8 of the antenna 2 and a second end 10 which constitutes the end of the outermost coil 3a of the antenna 2.
- Said second end 10 is connected to a first end of a bridge 4 in electrically conductive material that passes over the coils 3 of the conductive track 2a and is insulated from it by a layer 5 of insulating material .
- a second end of the bridge 4 is connected to a first end of a further conductive track 6, placed inside the spiral 3.
- a second end of the further conductive track 6 and the first end 7 of the antenna 2 are connected to an integrated circuit or microchip 9, which is arranged inside the antenna 2.
- Figure 2 shows a further embodiment of a prior-art radio- frequency identification device 1 in which the coils of the antenna 2 are made of an insulated wire 2b in conductive material.
- the second end 10 of the antenna 2 extends inside the spiral configuration of the antenna 2 and is connected to the first end 7 of the antenna 2 by an element 11 in electrically conductive material, to which the integrated circuit 9 is connected.
- the integrated circuit 9 is arranged inside the spiral configuration of the antenna 2.
- Figure 3 shows a first embodiment of a radio-frequency identification device 101 according to the invention.
- the device 101 comprises an antenna 102 constituted by an electrically conductive track 102a forming a series of concentric coils 103 to constitute a spiral-shaped configuration.
- the electrically conductive track 102a is made, for example, by printing with conductive ink on a support element or is made of an engraved lamina of aluminium or copper.
- the antenna 102 has two ends: a first end 107 that constitutes the start of the innermost coil 108 of the antenna 102 and a second end 110 which constitutes the end of the outermost coil 103a of the antenna 102.
- the first end 107 of the antenna 102 is connected by a bridge 104 in electrically conductive material that passes over the coils 103 of the antenna 102 and is insulated from them by a layer 105 of insulating material, with a first end 112 of a further portion 113 of conductive track arranged outside the antenna 102.
- a second end 114 of said further portion 113 is connected, together with the second end 110 of the antenna 102, to an integrated circuit, or microchip 109, which is thus arranged outside the antenna 102, instead of inside the antenna as in the previously shown examples of the prior art.
- Figure 4 shows a further embodiment of a radio-frequency identification device 101 according to the invention, in which the coils of the antenna 102 are made of insulated wire 102b, for example enameled, in electrically conductive material .
- the first end 107 of the antenna 102 extends outside the antenna 102, passing over the other coils 103 and is connected, together with the second end 110 of the antenna 102, to an element 111 in electrically conductive material, to which an integrated circuit 109, or microchip is connected.
- the integrated circuit 109 is outside the antenna 102.
- the position of the integrated circuit 109 in relation to the antenna 102 is not substantially subject to any constraint, as the first end 107 and the second end 110 of the antenna 102 can be extended without problems to reach the integrated circuit 109, which can be placed in any position outside the antenna 102.
- the integrated circuit 109 can be placed in the most suitable position for avoiding or minimising the risk of damage to the integrated circuit 109.
- the integrated circuit 109 can be arranged in a position that is not normally affected by incorrect folding of the document, which could cause damage to the integrated circuit 109.
- the integrated circuit 109 can be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the preset folding line of the document, parallel to it, in such a way that, by folding the document along this preset folding line, there is no deformation at the integrated circuit 109, which is furthermore protected from accidental folding and from blows due, for example, to rubber-stamping.
- a cover such as for example a passport or an employment-record book
- Two examples of foldable documents 115 with a radio- frequency identification device 101 integrated into them according to the invention and the integrated circuit 109 are shown in Figures 5 and 6.
- the foldable document 115 is a document provided with a cover, for example a passport or employment-record book, comprising a first cover page 116 and a second cover page 117.
- the radio-frequency identification device 101 is positioned, in the illustrated examples, in the second cover page 117 with the integrated circuit 109 applied in the immediate vicinity of the binding line of the pages, in a position in which the application would not be possible if the integrated circuit were inside the spiral .
