First Claim
1. A method of delivering advertisement information from a source of advertisement information to a chip card for display on a display element of the chip card, comprising:
- establishing a communication path between the source and the chip card;
transmitting the advertisement information from the source to the chip card via the communication path; and
displaying the transmitted advertisement information on the chip card display element,wherein the display element is capable of being flexed, without permanent damage, into the shape of the card supporting the display element when the card undergoes the following bending steps;
(1) with the contacts facing up, bending the long side of the chip card through a deflection of 1 cm at a rate of 30 bendings per minute, for a total of 250 bendings;
(2) with the contacts facing down, bending the long side of the chip card through a deflection of 1 cm at a rate of 30 bendings per minute, for a total of 250 bendings;
(3) with the contacts facing up, bending the short side of the chip card through a deflection of 0.5 cm at a rate of 30 bendings per minute, for a total of 250 bendings;
(4) with the contacts facing down, bending the short side of the chip card through a deflection of 0.5 cm at a rate of 30 bendings per minute, for a total of 250 bendings;
(5) placing the chip card in a machine that applies torsion to its short sides, the maximum displacement being 5 degrees (plus or minus 1 degree) in alternative directions at a rate of 30 torsions per minute for a total of 1,000 torsions.
