Method for the production of a portable data support

Method for production of a portable data carrier, the data carrier comprising a carrier and an element with an integrated circuit and a contact field galvanically connected to the integrated circuit,

• wherein the portable data carrier is shaped in an area defined by the contact field and the contact field is embodied such that a direct contacting of the contact field by a contacting component embodied in accordance with the USB standard is enabled, and
• wherein the element of the portable data carrier featuring the integrated circuit and the contact field is produced in chip card technology and the element is embodied as a chip card element having a card body in a shape of a flat piece, and
• wherein either or both data and program code required to operate the portable data carrier is loaded into the integrated circuit, and
• wherein the carrier is embodied partially congruent to the element and partially laterally extends beyond the element, the partially lateral extension forming an at least partially framed section on a main surface of the carrier, and
• wherein the card body of the element is placed in the at least partially framed section on the main surface of the carrier, and
• wherein the card body of the element is subsequently permanently connected to the carrier.
