Sensor card
First Claim
1. A sensor card comprising:
- a sensor for sensing an external physical phenomenon, for converting the sensed physical phenomenon into an electric signal and for outputting said electric signal;
an integrated circuit having a memory, said integrated circuit processing the electric signal from said sensor and storing a sensed value represented by said electric signal in said memory;
an output terminal for outputting the sensed value stored in said memory to a device which is external to said sensor card; and
a single card substrate in which said sensor, said integrated circuit and said output terminal are mounted.

Abstract
A sensor card includes a signal card substrate in which are mounted a sensor for sensing an external physical phenonemon and for converting the sensed physical phenomenon into an electric signal. An integrated circuit processes the output of the sensor and stores the sensed value represented thereby in a memory. An output terminal outputs the sensed value stored in the memory of the integrated circuit. The sensor card can be adapted not only to store signal-processed detection values but also to have a function for subjecting these signals to computation or evaluation. The stored data can be read out to an external unit in the form of a signal through a physical contact or magnetically in contactless fashion.
