Document Having an Integrated Contactless Resonator Electronic Device
First Claim
1. Document including a support (10) having at least a first portion (12) and a second portion (14) adapted to be moved relative to each other and a contactless electronic device (1) mounted in the first portion (12) of the support (10) and including an electronic microcircuit (3) and an antenna (2) electrically connected to said electronic microcircuit (3) and adapted to be (electro)magnetically coupled to an external reading station (5), the electronic microcircuit (3) being adapted to exchange information with the external environment, characterized in that the second portion (14) includes means (7) for attenuating the (electro)magnetic coupling, including a resonator circuit coupled to said antenna and disposed substantially in line with the antenna when the first portion (12) and the second portion (14) are substantially superposed one on the other, and adapted to render inoperative or operative the exchange of information with the external environment as a function of the offset between the first and second portions (12 and 14).

Abstract
A support (10) provided with at least first (12) and second (14) parts capable of displacing relative to one another along a selected axis of displacement (16), and a contactless electronic device (1) mounted in the first part (12) of the support and including an electronic microcircuit (3) and an antenna (2) electrically connected to the electronic microcircuit (3), and capable of being (electro)magnetically coupled with an external reading station (5), the electronic microcircuit (3) being capable of exchanging information with the outside. The second part (14) is provided with electromagnetic coupling attenuating elements, having a resonator circuit (7) coupled to the antenna (2), and situated in line with the antenna (2) when the first and second parts are essentially superimposed one above the other, and are capable of rendering the exchange of information with the outside inoperative or operative according to the distance between the first and second parts.
