Rotation-activated electronic component with time-limited use
First Claim
1. An electronic module comprising:
- a communication module adapted to interact with an external device,a power source,a component adapted to process first information received from the communication module and to send second information to the communication module,wherein the second information being intended for the external device,a time usage limiter for disabling the electronic module after a predetermined time in use, anda switch adapted to provide power to the time usage limiter when it is subject to predetermined rotational speed so that the time usage limiter can keep track of the time in use.

Abstract
A rotation-activated electronic component, preferably a RFID tag mounted on or incorporated in a support that is rotated when read, e.g. a CD or DVD. The RFID tag comprises an antenna, a rotational switch, a component, advantageously a processor, and a time usage limiter. The antenna is adapted to transform received RFID signals to electric energy that powers the component and the rotational switch is adapted to cut the circuit unless the support does not rotate at or above a certain rotational speed. The time usage limiter counts down a timer when it is powered via the rotational switch and disables the RFID tag when the timer expires. Supports equipped with the RFID tag of the invention will thus respond until the timer expires, and preferably only if they rotate sufficiently.
