Claim
1. A signal transmission device comprising first and second data processing stations, at least one of the stations being incorporated in a portable object, said portable object comprising a small plastic card embodying a microprocessor, each station having transmission means for transmitting, when in a transmission mode, a signal to the other station and having receiving means for receiving, when in a reception mode, a message transmitted from the other station; and means for coupling the stations together, the coupling means providing a single bidirectional signal line over which a message is transmitted in bit serial form by variations of a signal on the line; each station including first means for placing the line in a first predetermined state when such station is in the reception mode to advise the other station that it is ready to receive a message; second means, operative when the station is in the transmission mode, for detecting said predetermined state; third means controlled by said second means for generating and transmitting a start bit signal to the other station, the start bit signal preceeding a first bit of the message; fourth means operative when the station is in the transmission mode for calculating from the transmitted message a first parity bit and for transmitting the first parity bit to the other station; fifth means operative when the station is in the receiption mode for calculating a second parity bit from the received message and for comparing the first and second parity bits; and sixth means controlled by said fifth means for placing the line in a second predetermined state different from the first predetermined state upon a difference between said first and second parity bits being detected to advise the other station of a transmission error.
2. A device according to claim 1, wherein each station includes data processing means, and said data processing stations each comprise at least one microprocessor.
3. A device for transmission of signals between two data processing stations according to claim 1, wherein the transmission means of each station has means for resynchronizing the operation of the station in the transmission mode with the operation of the receiving means of the other station in the reception mode when the other station has completed a task, such that transmission is wholly independent of other functions implemented in the stations.
4. A device for transmission of signals between two data processing stations according to claim 1, wherein said single bidirectional signal line comprises a first signal conductor, and a second conductor providing a return connection between two stations via said coupling means.
5. A device according to claim 1, wherein said single bidirectional signal line is an optical line.
6. A device according to claim 2, wherein the transmitting means and the receiving means comprises first and second tri-state amplifiers, one being connected to receive signals from the line and other being connected to output signals to the line, and first and second control gates for respectively controlling the first and second tri-state amplifiers.
7. A device according to claim 6, wherein the control gates are controlled by logic signals from the data processing station in accordance with the operating mode of the station.
8. A device according to claim 6, wherein said first and second predetermined states comprise first and second voltages, and wherein said message is transmitted by variations in a third voltage.']
