... Alternatively, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) transponders or tags could also be used. If a metal playing surface is used, the RFID tag of the face lying against the playing surface will not transmit a signal, thereby indirectly identifying the uppermost face. In a further feature of the invention which protects the electronic die from being illegally copied, each RFID tag within the die is configured with its own ID code which is compared with a code transmitted by the computer. It is thus possible to check the legality or originality of the particular die and whether the game or software application using the die is a copy or an original. ...
