PLANAR DATA CARRIER
First Claim
1. Data carrier, comprisingan at least sectionally applied adhesive layer is arranged on an electrically non-conductive substrate, an at least single-layered information layer congruently applied thereto, wherein the said adhesive layer and information layer are layers applied as coatings by a transfer process, preferably through a foil transfer method and more preferably through a cold foil transfer method and wherein at least a portion of the structured information layer serves at the same time as an encoder for a capacitive reading device.

Abstract
The invention relates to a data carrier or a group of such data carriers which allow for accurate correlation of information, the use of these data carriers, as well as a reading device, by means of which a data carrier via its structured information layer is associated with an action of a data processing system or can trigger the said action. More particularly, the invention also relates to a game card system that learns the unique playing characteristics of players and allows the processing of other game-related data, whereby the system comprises the use of game cards and collector cards over the Internet (online) as well as via a local data processing system (offline), and where, accordingly, the invention relates to a particularly preferred embodiment, that is a combination of the traditional collector card game with computer and video games. More preferably, the invention also serves as an access system for cards and debit cards for payment systems using the data carrier with a unique code that is readable using a reading device.
