Commonplace object with a surface that comprises a data track
First Claim
1. A commonplace objectwith an outer surface that encircles the commonplace object andwith at least one cylindrical section of the surface,a data bit sequence being written along at lease one track on the cylindrical section, whereinat least the cylindrical section of the surface consists of a material which can be changed optically, and whereinthe track extends over more than one circumference of the cylindrical section, and in that the track is designed in the form of a helix.

Abstract
The invention relates to a commonplace object with an outer surface (4) that encircles the commonplace object (2) and with at least one cylindrical section (6) of the surface (4), in which the technical problem of specifying a commonplace object to whose surface a relatively large amount of information can be applied is solved in that the cylindrical section (4) of the surface (6) consists of a material which can be changed optically, and in that a data bit sequence is written along at least one track (8) on the cylindrical section (4).
