Abstract
A button assembly for exchanging data comprising a button housing assembly, a circuit board, a switch element, and an actuator member. The circuit board is arranged within the button housing assembly. The circuit board stores data. The switch element is mounted on the circuit board. The actuator member is supported on the button housing assembly. Application of a force to the actuator member causes the actuator member to engage the switch element and form an antenna circuit. The data on the circuit board can be downloaded when the antenna circuit is formed.
