Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a security device with sensors for checking whether the security device ( 1 ) is in an undamaged state and checking for the presence of a specified support ( 9 ) of the security device ( 1 ), said support ( 9 ) being an object, in particular a mechanical or electronic component, characterized in that the sensors detect movements and/or accelerations of the security device ( 1 ) relative to the support ( 9 ) and/or material properties of the support ( 9 ) and/or of the security device ( 1 ) and are connected to an electronic system ( 3 ) for signal evaluation. In a method for using such a security device ( 1 ) the state of the security device ( 1 ) and the presence of a specified support ( 9 ) are ascertained multiple times and in different ways, wherein signals are used which are obtained as actual values and which are compared with specified target values in an electronic system ( 3 ). An action is triggered upon a deviation of at least one of the actual values from the target values.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
