Claims
- 1. A method for switching connections in a circuit, which comprises the steps of:
A) exposing on a material switching contacts; and B) altering on the material the switching contacts by applying drawn lines using a pencil, ball point pen or fused toner in a manner that alters the connections to be switched.
- 2. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the pencil is a graphite pencil.
- 3. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the drawn connection performs the function of a wire.
- 4. The method claimed in claim 3, further including the step of:
erasing the drawn connection to modify the switching connection.
- 5. The method claimed in claim 4, further including the step of:
erasing the drawn connection with a pencil eraser.
- 6. The method claimed in claim 4, further including the step of:
erasing the drawn connection with a ink eraser.
- 7. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the altering step further comprises the step of:
marking connections on the material with a ink jet printer to switch the connections into the circuit.
- 8. The method claimed in claim 7, wherein the marked connections act like wires.
- 9. The method claimed in claim 8, further including the step of:
erasing the marked connections to modify the connections.
- 10. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the material is paper.
- 11. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the material is cardboard.
- 12. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the material is plastic.
- 13. The method claimed in claim 1, further including the step of:
inserting the material into a device in a manner that the switching contacts will complete a circuit.
- 14. The method claimed in claim 13, further including the step of:
inserting the material into a device in a manner that the switching contacts will cause the device to perform some function.
- 15. The method claimed in claim 13, wherein the device is a electrical or electronic device.
- 16. The method claimed in claim 13, wherein the device is a microcontroller.
- 17. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the altered bits will represent numbers that are used to dial telecommunications equipment.
- 18. The method claimed in claim 17, wherein the material is in the shape of a card.
- 19. The method claimed in claim 20, wherein the card is a business card.
- 20. The method claimed in claim 17, wherein the telecommunications equipment is a telephone.
- 21. The method claimed in claim 17, wherein the telecommunications equipment is a facsimile machine.
- 22. The method claimed in claim 17, wherein the telecommunications equipment is a personal data assistant.
- 23. The method claimed in claim 17, wherein the material is a cellulose type product.
- 24. The method claimed in claim 17, wherein the material is a plastic.
- 25. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the switching connection controls the number generation portion of a RFID circuit.
