Abstract

As disclosed herein, a computer mouse (1) may include a contact-less communication element (2) for communication with a mobile communication device (3), such as a mobile phone. The communication element (2) may be a near-field communication (NFC) element, and may be adapted to establish a connection with a secure element (4) for processing data communicated between a computer (5) and the mobile communication device (3). The secure element (4) may be configured in a memory device, which may be located in the computer mouse (1) or on a separate carrier (6). The carrier (6) may be a removable memory card, the insertion of which into a corresponding connector (7) may establish a connection between the communication element (2) and the secure element (4). The communication element (2) may include an antenna, which may be formed on a printed circuit board in the computer mouse (1). A computer mouse (1) as described herein may enable a computer (5) to communicate with a mobile communication device (3) in a secure manner.
