In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic identification device is provided, comprising an ultra-high frequency (UHF) communication unit, wherein said UHF communication unit is configured to be activated restrictedly. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a method of operating an electronic identification device is conceived, said electronic identification device comprising an ultra-high frequency (UHF) communication unit, the method comprising restrictedly activating said UHF communication unit. In accordance with a third aspect of the present disclosure, a non-transitory machine-readable medium is provided, comprising instructions that, when executed, carry out a method of the kind set forth.

Electronic identification device

In a lead-frame configuration (), a module () and a data carrier (), two connecting plates () of the module (), which are each intended for connection to a connecting contact or bump () of a chip (), are connected to a reinforcement film () formed from a fiber-reinforced film of plastics material by means of a layer () of an adhesive that is particularly well suited to transmitting shear forces, in which case there is additionally provided in an advantageous further embodiment, on the reinforcement film (), at least one further layer () that is able to serve for protecting, damping or fastening purposes.

A data carrier has a carrier body with a recess, an insulating layer with an outer surface exposed to an environment of the data carrier and with an inner surface, a chip module that is mounted in the recess, and a transmission coil with coil contacts. The chip module has a chip with chip contacts, a cover of electrically insulating material, and a metal lead frame. The transmission coil is mounted in a zone outside the chip module. The metal lead frame has a first part, a second part and a third part. The first, second a third parts are substantially coplanarly arranged with respect to each other. The first part carries the chip at a side remote from the environment, and the second and third parts form lead frame contacts that are electrically coupled to the coil contacts and the chip contacts. The insulating layer and a cover part inside the data carrier form the cover. The inside cover part electrically insulates the first, second and third parts, and mechanically couples the first, second and third parts to each other. The metal lead frame is mechanically coupled to the inner surface of the insulating layer.

A key and lock system has a key with an integrated transponder coil that is connected to a transponder unit, and a lock with an integrated write/read coil. The key has a key bit portion and a bow portion. When the key bit portion is inserted into an elongated aperture of a key cylinder of the lock, an axis of the write/read coil forms an acute angle with an axis of the transponder coil. The acute angle substantially differs from a zero degree angle.
