Abstract:
1. A method comprising: attaching a holder, by an adhesive layer formed on the holder, to an electronic device, wherein the holder includes a shield which includes a pair of U-shaped members; after the attaching step, inserting a contactless integrated circuit (IC) identification card into a pouch formed in the holder in order to secure the contactless IC identification card to the electronic device; wherein the contactless IC identification card includes a card-shaped body, an antenna embedded in the card-shaped body, and an IC embedded in the card-shaped body and coupled to the antenna; and moving the two members relative to each other between a first configuration and a second configuration, the two members, when in the first configuration, positioned to block signals from being received by and/or transmitted from the antenna of the contactless IC identification card; the two members, when in the second configuration, positioned to partially overlap each other so as to unmask the antenna of the contactless IC identification card, thereby allowing the antenna to receive and/or transmit signals, wherein a degree of overlap between the two members is substantially greater in the second configuration as compared to the first configuration.
