Abstract:
A device for contactless communication with a terminal, the device comprising: an antenna for receiving a wireless signal emitted by the terminal; an embedded chip configured to generate data for communication to the terminal to perform a first function associated with the device; and a module separate from the chip configured to perform processes as part of a second function associated with the device, the module being connected to the antenna and comprising a power-harvesting unit configured to harvest power from the received wireless signal to power at least the module.

Claim (Index 7):
A device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the module is a biometric sensor module and the second function is biometric sensing of a user feature, the biometric sensor module comprising a power conditioning circuit coupled to the one or more contact elements; the power-harvesting unit and at least one other internal component of the module; the power conditioning circuit comprising:\n a circuit path coupled at a first end to the one or more contact elements and at a second end to the power harvest unit and said at least one internal component of the module; a switching element interconnecting a first part of the circuit path comprising the first end and a second part of the circuit path comprising the second end; a bypass circuit providing a path that bypasses the switching element, the bypass circuit permitting current to flow in a direction from the first end to the second end of the circuit; and a coupling unit coupled to the first part of the circuit path and the switching element; the circuit being arranged so that: when the card is in contact communication with the terminal, power supplied through the contact elements drives the switching element via the coupling unit to an open configuration thereby limiting current to flow from the first end to the second end of the circuit through the bypass circuit; and when the card is in contactless communication with the terminal, power harvested by the power-harvesting unit causes the switching element to adopt an open configuration thereby preventing current flow from the second end of the circuit to the first end of the circuit.
