A contact card is enhanced based on a knowledge graph. A communication application initiates operations to enhance a smart contact card upon receiving a communication from an organization or brand. A knowledge graph is queried to retrieve an association information between a recipient of the communication and the organization or brand. The association information is matched to an interest of the recipient. The association information is also inserted into a smart contact card of the organization or brand. A control element to interact with the association information is inserted into the smart contact card as well. Furthermore, the smart contact card is presented to the recipient.

The challenge of the present invention is to be able to use a large number of code generation apparatuses and to be able to identify each one.

In the apparatus, a plurality of electrodes detected by a change in a physical quantity detected by a touch panel by bringing it into contact with or by substantially into contact with the touch panel connected to a first information processing apparatus is arranged on a bottom surface of a housing, and the apparatus comprises a communication processing unit that is equipped with a housing formed of a conductive member connected to the plurality of electrodes and that enters a connected state based on at least a part of an electrode code with the first information processing apparatus that recognizes the electrode code formed based on electrodes detected by the touch panel among the plurality of electrodes.

The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a planar, capacitive information carrier comprising a graphic artwork and electrically conductive areas forming a code layout wherein the graphic artwork and code layout coincide. The coincidence of the graphic artwork and code layout makes it difficult for a user of the information carrier to differentiate between the aesthetic and functional parts of the information carrier. The information carrier may also comprise inactive electrically conductive elements for further distracting the attention of said user from the functional code layout. In another aspect, the invention relates to information carrier and a method for reading out an information carrier.

The present invention relates to a capacitive, planar information carrier wherein vias form an electrical and/or galvanic connection between sub-areas of a first electrically conductive area being part of an electrically conductive layer on one side of the information carrier and an electrically conductive pattern on the other side of the information carrier. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method for the manufacture of an information carrier.

The present invention relates to an information carrier comprising an electrically non-conductive substrate with an electrically conductive layer arranged as a pattern which encodes information, wherein said pattern is formed from at least one input region, at least one connecting line and at least one contact area. The information carrier is inter alia characterized in that the sub areas of the at least one input region have an area coverage in a range of 20 to 80% and/or the at least one contact area has an area coverage in a range of 5 to 80%. In further aspects, the invention relates to a use of said information carrier and a method of manufacture.

A multilayer body with a carrier and a layer arranged thereon which comprises electrically conductive material in such an arrangement comprises an information area and a background area (18) which are galvanically separated from each other. In each information area a first zone (10) with electrically conductive material is provided, over the entirety of which electrically conductive material is conductively connected to it. In each background area a plurality of second zones with electrically conductive material is provided, which are galvanically separated from each other. Each first zone (10) preferably occupies a surface area that is at least five times larger than each of the second zones. The electrically conductive material is preferably provided with an average surface coverage which varies over all information areas and background areas (18) by less than 25%. A homogeneous appearance of the multilayer body is thereby ensured, and an item of information provided in the information area, provided by the shape, size and/or alignment of the first zone, is not visible without aids, and therefore cannot be copied.
