Abstract:
A consumable component apparatus including a receptacle region for receiving configured to receive a substance or material which is consumed under the control of a consumer device, an authentication circuit configured to authenticate the consumer device, and a switch coupled to the authentication circuit. The authentication circuit is configured to control the switch in such a way that the consumable component apparatus is activatable only if the consumer device is authenticated by means of the authentication circuit, and that the consumable component apparatus is deactivated if the consumer device is not authenticated by means of the authentication circuit.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a chip card is provided, having a first contact area and a second contact area, a measuring circuit that is configured to measure an impedance between the first contact area and the second contact area and a control circuit that is configured to take the measured impedance as a basis for configuring a function of the chip card.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a chip card arrangement for carrying out contactless interaction with an external apparatus is provided. The chip card arrangement may include: a chip card, which has an electronic circuit, and having an optical coding element, which can be used to present an optically capturable code, wherein the electronic circuit is designed such that the interaction requires at least the code.
