Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the display of selection menus with no input of a command nor a password by registering previously the selection menus to be shown in an IC card and the display procedure of these menus. CONSTITUTION:A card reader 4 reads an IC card 5 where the selection menus performing the different functions and the display procedure of these menus are registered. Then the contents of the card 5 are sent to a computer 6 through a terminal 1. Thus the prescribed selection menus are shown on a display device 2 in a prescribed display procedure based on an instruction of the computer 6. As a result, a user is not required to store a command or a password for simple display of the selection menus. The different selection menus can be decided by different users respectively. Therefore a user is impossible to user the selection menus except the one shown by his own card 5 unless other relevant IC cards are used. Thus a security function is also attained.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing system consisting of a terminal and a computer, and more particularly to a selection menu for executing a different function in advance on an information card such as an IC card and a procedure for executing the selection menu. The present invention relates to an information processing system capable of operating a selection menu by registering it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional information processing system is constructed as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, 1 is a terminal, 2
Is a display device, 3 is a keyboard, and 6 is a computer. A flow chart showing the operation of this system is shown in FIG. To explain the operation, first, the power of the terminal 1 is turned on (step S10). Next, a command input screen is displayed on the display device 2 of the terminal 1, a predetermined command and password are input from the keyboard 3, and when the input command and password are correct, the display device 2
Displays a selection menu corresponding to the command and the password (steps S12 to S15). Then, steps S12 to S15 are performed for each selection menu to be displayed.
The above process was repeated many times.

[0003]

Since the conventional information processing system is configured as described above, it is necessary to input a command and a password from an input device such as a keyboard in order to display a selection menu. There was a problem that it took time and effort. In particular, the user needs to remember all the passwords and commands, and if those passwords and commands are forgotten, the intended selection menu cannot be displayed, which wastes a lot of time. In addition, since only the password and the command can be input, anyone can display any selection menu on the display device, so that there is a problem that information is leaked to anyone other than the person concerned.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. By registering a selection menu and a display procedure of the selection menu in an information card, it is possible to automatically save time and effort. To provide an information processing system capable of increasing the security of information such as a selection menu that does not need to be displayed because the selection menu can be displayed on the display device and the displayable selection menu is registered in the information card in advance. is there.

[0005]

In the information processing system according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, an information card (IC card 5) storing information on a predetermined selection menu and a display procedure of the selection menu, and this information. Information card reading means (card reading device 4) for reading the above information from the card and sending it to the computer 6 via the terminal and displaying only a predetermined selection menu on the display device 2 is provided.

[0006]

In the information processing system according to the present invention, the information card in which the selection menu for performing different functions and the display procedure thereof are registered is read by the information card reading means and transmitted from the terminal to the computer. According to an instruction from the computer, a predetermined selection menu is displayed on the display device in a predetermined display procedure. Therefore, the user can easily display the selection menu without remembering the command or password. In addition, the selection menu to be used is determined by each user, and if a user uses a selection menu other than the selection menu indicated by the information card that the user has, if there is no information card that can display the selection menu. I can not use it. Therefore, it also has a security function.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a terminal, 2 is a display device, 3 is a keyboard, 4 is a card reading device as an information card reading means, 5 is an IC card as an information card, and 6 is a computer. The respective units except 4 and 5 have the same functions as those of the conventional one, and therefore, the same reference numerals are given to them, and the description of the following configuration will be omitted for simplicity. The IC card 5 has registered therein a selection menu for performing different functions displayed on the display device 2 and a display procedure for displaying the selection menu. The card reading device 4 reads the registered selection menu and information about the display procedure of the selection menu from the IC card 5, and sends it to the computer 6 via the terminal 1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 are flow charts showing the operation of this embodiment, FIG. 2 is a flow chart when only an information card is used, and FIG. 3 is an application of FIG. 2 when an input device such as an information card and a keyboard is used. Here is an example. Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 2, when the user inserts his / her IC card 5 into the card reading device 4, the user turns on the power of the terminal 1 (step 1). Terminal 1 is IC
It is determined whether or not the card 5 is inserted (step S
2) When the IC card 5 is inserted, the selection menu registered in the IC card 5 and the information about the display procedure of the selection menu are read, the computer 6 is queried, and the selection menu is displayed on the display device 2. (Step S
4). If the power of the terminal 1 is on, the IC card 5
Is not inserted (NO in step S2),
A message such as "Please insert the IC card into the card reader" is displayed on the display device 2 (step S
3).

Next, the flowchart of FIG. 3, which is an application example of FIG. 2, will be described. First, when the user turns on the power of the terminal 1 (step S5), the display device 2 of the terminal 1 is displayed.
For example, a selection menu having two options of "use IC card" and "do not use IC card" is displayed (step S6). The user determines whether or not to use the IC card 5 (step S7), and when using it (YES in step 7), causes the display device 2 to display a selection menu for the IC card 5 (step S8). If it is not used (NO in step 7), another process is performed (step 9). As described above, the information processing system of the present invention can automatically display only the selection menu used by the person holding the IC card on the display device. Therefore, troublesome operations such as inputting passwords and commands are not required, and operability is improved. Of course, it is also possible to display a selection menu by inputting a conventional password or command.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the information card in which the information of the predetermined selection menu and the display procedure of the selection menu is registered, and the information card reading for reading the above information from the information card and sending it to the computer. Since the means is provided, there is an effect that the operation procedure for displaying the selection menu is simplified. In addition, since the selection menu to be displayed on the display device and the display procedure of the selection menu are registered in the above information card, only the predetermined registered selection menu can be displayed on the display device. There is also the effect that the security of the menu etc. can be strengthened.
