Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare an issuance notice which can be appreciated only by a user oneself, containing the inherent information to specify the user recorded in an IC card, without going to an issuer and without being known by other persons. CONSTITUTION:When the issuing processing of an IC card is completed, the card is sent to a stacker 38 and accumulated. A reading writing control part 39 respectively adds '1' to respective contents of an issuing counting area 72 and an issuing cumulative area 74 of a memory part 60 of a key card KC. After the holding data are written, a host processor 12 prints the sending notice of the IC card with a printer 19, and prepares an issuance notice to print a carrier temporary personal identification number by a printer 20. After the printing processing is executed, the temporary personal identification number of the memory part is deleted and the security can be improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a portable storage medium processing device that issues portable storage media such as IC cards.

(Prior art) Cards with magnetic stripes, so-called magnetic cards, which are generally used for identification cards or credit cards, have a limited number of stored data days and are easy to read out, so they have low security. There's a problem.

Therefore, recently, portable storage media, so-called IC cards, which have high security for reading out stored contents and have a large storage capacity, are being used. This type of IC card is usually handed over from the card manufacturer to the card issuer in an unissued state, and the card issuer writes predetermined data on it, issues it, and hands it to the user. .

By the way, with magnetic cards, the user generally declares unique information that identifies the user (for example, a PIN number) to the issuer, and the issuer records the declared unique information on the magnetic card. ing. However, in the case of IC cards, it has been considered that the issuer creates unique information for identifying the user (for example, a temporary password that can be changed later) and records this unique information on the IC card. In this case, a problem arises in that the user must go to the issuer in order to know the unique information.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As described above, if a publisher creates unique information that identifies a user and records that unique information on a portable storage medium, the user will know the unique information. A problem arises in that the user must go to the issuer's office in order to obtain the information.

Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose of the present invention is to remove the unique information that identifies the user recorded on the portable storage medium.
To provide a portable storage medium processing device capable of creating an issuance notice that can be known only to the user without going to the issuer's place and without letting others know.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The portable storage medium processing device of the present invention issues a portable storage medium by writing predetermined data into the portable storage medium. a write processing means for writing predetermined data into the portable storage medium; a control means for controlling the write processing means; and an operation for calculating unique information identifying a user of the portable storage medium. means, recording means for recording the unique information calculated by the calculating means on the portable storage medium, and means for creating a sealed issuance notice recording the unique information calculated by the calculating means. It is a feature.

(Function) In addition to recording the unique information that identifies the user on a portable storage medium, it is possible to create a sealed issuance notice that records the unique information, and the issuance notice can then be sent to the user. As a result, only the user himself/herself can know the unique information without going to the issuer's office and without it being known to others.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a portable storage medium according to the present invention.
The appearance of an IC card with a magnetic stripe after being issued is shown. That is, 1 is a card body, which is made of, for example, a rectangular thin plastic plate. A magnetic stripe 2 is provided at the end of the front surface of the card body 1 in the form of a strip in the longitudinal direction. In addition, on the surface of the card body 1, embossed information 3 is written on an embossed print.
is formed. The embossed information 3 includes, for example, the name of the card holder, the account number, and the expiration date of the card.
It consists of identification information of the cardholder.

Furthermore, the surface of the card body 1 is electrically connected to an integrated circuit (IC) 4 embedded in the card body 1, and serves as an input/output terminal for electrical contact with a card reader/writer (not shown). A contact portion 5 is provided. The integrated circuit 4 includes a control section (for example, a microprocessor) 6 and a memory section (for example, an EEPROM) 7. In addition, emboss information 3 is required before issuance.
is not formed.

FIG. 2 shows an external perspective view of an IC card processing device that issues IC cards as an example of a portable storage medium processing device according to the present invention, and FIG. 1 shows a block configuration diagram thereof. That is, 11 is a host control unit, which includes a host processor 12 consisting of a control section (not shown) and a memory section containing a control program, and a hard disk drive 13 that stores a program for controlling the entire apparatus and the processing contents of the apparatus. and a floppy disk device 14 for inputting data that is part of the data to be written on the IC card and that differs from IC card to IC card, such as the name of the card holder and the account number in the case of a cash card. This is the host for the device. Similar to the floppy disk device 14, 15 is a magnetic tape unit for inputting different data for each IC card, and is connected to the host processor 12, and is used by an IC card issuer for its services, for example. It is also possible to use the magnetic tape created by the magnetic tape unit of the host computer from the list of new subscribers registered in the host computer of the system.

16 is a keyboard for performing various operations, and 17 is a CRT display device for displaying operating procedures, status, etc., and these are connected to the host processor 12.

18 is a card league writer, and host processor 12
It is possible to insert an access key card AC to activate the device. Here, as the access key card AC, for example, an IC card similar to the IC card shown in FIG. 3 is used.

However, it is assumed that the magnetic stripe 2 and the embossed information 3 are not provided.

19 is a printer that creates a shipping note for shipping the issued IC card to its holder, and 2o is a printer that sends the card holder's temporary PIN (which can be changed by the card holder) to the card holder and the IC card. is a printer that creates an issue notice 21 for separate notification, and these are connected to the host processor 12.The issue notice 121 created by the printer 20 is configured, for example, as shown in FIG. That is, an envelope-shaped issuance notice 21 is formed on two stacked sheets of paper 22 with the peripheral edge (hatched area 23) glued in advance, and can be cut at the perforations 24 provided on the peripheral edge. The issuance notice 21 contains the address, name 25, and temporary PIN number 2.
6 etc. will be printed. In this case, the area where the address/name 25 is printed will also be colored on the first sheet on the front, and the area where the temporary PIN number 26 will be printed will be colored only on the front (inside) of the second sheet on the back, and the area where the temporary PIN number 26 will be printed will be colored only on the front (inside) of the second sheet. is designed not to develop color. As a result, the temporary PIN number is written so that only the cardholder can know it.

27 is an issuance processing unit that processes the IC card to be issued, and is connected to the host processor 12. The issue processing unit 27 is configured as follows. That is, 28 is a microprocessor, and host processor 1
IC card issuance control according to commands from 2, that is, control to write magnetic data on the magnetic stripe 2 of the IC card, control to form embossed information 3 on the IC card, and write data to the memory section 7 of the IC card. Performs I control, etc. 29 is a keyboard, and 30 is a display device, which are connected to the microprocessor 28. The keyboard 29 is used for inputting a PIN number and for book issuance processing unit 2.
It is used as an input for test operation of 7, reset in case of trouble, etc. The display unit 30 is the main issue processing unit 27
It displays the status and test operation results.

Unissued IC cards are stacked and stored in a hopper 31, and are taken out one by one in response to a signal from the microprocessor 28. The IC card taken out from the hopper 31 is sent to an encoder section 32 in which magnetic data is written.
sent to. After a detector (not shown) detects that the IC card has arrived at the encoder 32, the microprocessor 28 writes magnetic data on the magnetic stripe 2 using a write/read head (magnetic head) (not shown). After the writing is completed, the microprocessor 28 reads the written data and sends the IC card to the embossing unit 33 after checking whether the loaded data has been correctly written.

If the written data is incorrect, the magnetic data is written again and then checked. If the writing still cannot be done correctly, the data passes through the embossing unit 33, further passes through the reader/writer unit 34, and is sent to the destruction unit 35, where, for example, as shown in FIG. open it. This results in
To make an IC card unusable and to visually determine that it is a defective IC card. Further, if the emboss information 3 has been formed, a hole 9 is also made in the emboss information 3 portion as shown in FIG. 4, for example. Regarding electrical recording, it is possible to insert a void command into the memory section 7 so that the IC card cannot be used by the control section 6 of the IC card, so it is not necessarily necessary to destroy the IC card by drilling a hole or the like. This not only makes it impossible to use this IC card in a terminal that can use it, but also makes it possible to determine that this IC card cannot be used without using a terminal. The punching of the magnetic stripe 2 and the embossed information 3 and the writing of a void command into the memory section 7 are performed in the following manner.

The first is when the magnetic stripe 2 is defective, the writing to the magnetic stripe 2 is completed normally but there is an error in the middle of forming the embossed information 3, and the second is when the embossed information 3 is formed normally. and cases where the embossed information 3 is formed normally but not normally (for example, when the last digit of the account number is embossed with an incorrect number) and it is impossible to write to the memory unit 7. It is. Third, although the magnetic stripe 2 and emboss information 3 are normal, a part of the memory section 7 is defective, so it is not a normal IC card, but the terminal that can use this IC card is partially used. If possible.

In the first case, a hole 8 is made in the magnetic stripe 2 by the destruction unit 35, and a hole 8 is made in the magnetic stripe 2 by the reader/writer unit 34.
A void command is written in the memory section 7. Although the emboss information 3 is not formed at all, since it is incomplete, it can be determined by looking at it, and therefore there is no need to make holes with the destruction unit 35.

In the second case, since the magnetic stripe 2 has been written normally and the embossed information 3 has been formed normally, each part of the magnetic stripe 2 and embossed information 3 is punched by the destruction unit 35. Let's do it. Since it is not possible to write into the memory section 7, there is no need to write a void instruction in the reader/writer unit 34, or rather, it is impossible to write the void instruction itself).

In the third case, each part of the magnetic stripe 2 and embossed information 3 is opened by the destruction unit 35, and a void command is written in the memory section 7 by the reader/writer unit 34.

After the above-mentioned unusable processing is performed on the defective IC cards, they are sorted by the sorting section 36 and are stacked in the reject stacker 37.

The IC card on which magnetic data has been normally written and sent to the embossing unit 33 has embossed information 3 formed thereon. Here, we generally use character types (
Although raised characters are formed on the upper side by pressing (convex and concave), raised characters may also be formed by pasting characters. When forming emboss information 3 by pressing a character mold, the position of the press mold for each character is checked, and the microprocessor 28 checks whether or not the emboss is done correctly. Immediately after this happens, embossing is stopped and the above-mentioned unusable process is performed. Of course, the data to be embossed is controlled by the microprocessor 28.

When the embossed information 3 is normally formed, the IC card is sent to the reader/writer unit 34, and the contact portion 5 of the IC card is placed at the contact position of the reader/writer unit 34.
came and was stopped. After that, the reader/writer unit 34
The microprocessor 28 controls the contact portion (not shown) of the IC card so that it comes into contact with the contact portion 5 of the IC card.

When the microprocessor 28 inputs a signal to the read/write controller 39 indicating that the contact of the contact portion 5 has been completed, the read/write controller 39 applies power to the IIJ til1 portion 6 and the memory portion 7 via the contact portion 5. supply and send a start signal (command).

The read/write IIJ control section 39 is the control section 6 of the IC card.
After receiving a reply signal (response) from the card reader/writer 4 connected to the read/write Ill 8 section 39
Key card KO inserted into 0, and card reader/
Fixed data card FC inserted into writer 41
The data is written into the memory section 7 of the IC card and checked. Here, when the reading/writing 1iIIt2I1 section 39 confirms that the data has been written normally, the microprocessor 28 receives a signal from the reading/writing control section 39 and sends the contact section 5 of the IC card to a contact (not shown). The reader/writer unit 34 is controlled to separate the parts. Then microprocessor 2
8, the IC cards pass through the destruction unit 35 and are sorted by the sorting section 36, and the IC cards on which all writing has been normally completed are stacked in the stacker 38. Here, as the key card KC and the fixed data card FC, for example, an IC card similar to the IC card shown in FIG. 3 is used.

However, it is assumed that the magnetic stripe 2 and the embossed information 3 are not provided.

The three writings of magnetic data, embossed information, and electronic recording are carried out at the electronic recording unit, i.e., the reader/writer unit 34, at the end.

This is because the embossed information is inserted by pressing, so that the integrated circuit 4, contact portion 5, etc. can be recorded on an undamaged IC card during this operation, that is, the product can be checked.

In addition, in FIG. 2, 42 is the I in the stacker 37°38.
This is an exit door for taking out the C card.

FIG. 6 shows the contents of the memory section 50 of the access key card AC. 51 is a control program area, 52 is a terminal access code area, 53 is a card access code area, 54 is a pin number area, 55 is a user name (code) area, 56 is a void area, 57 is an error count area, and 58 is an issue area. This is the recording area.

FIG. 7 shows the contents of the memory section 60 of the key card KO. 61 is l1ltll program area, 62 is issue code area, 63 is terminal access code area, 6
4 is a card access code area, 65 is a pin number area, 66 is a user name code area, 67 is an issue signboard pin number area, 68 is an issuer record area, 69 is a void area, 70 is an error count area, 71 72 is an issue count area, 73 is a defect count area, 74 is an issue cumulative area, and 75 is an issue record area.

Figure 8 shows the memory section 80 of the fixed data card FC.
It shows the contents. 81 is a control program area;
2 is an issue code area, 83 is a terminal access code area, 84 is a card access code area, 85 is a pin number area, 86 is a user name (code) area, 87 is a void area, 88 is an error count area, and 89 is data area.

FIG. 9 shows the contents of the memory section 7 of the IC card after it is issued. 91 is a basic control program area, 92 is a manufacturer record area, 93 is an issuer record area, 94 is an issue record area, 95 is an application program area, 96 is a carrier record area, and 97 is an empty area.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when you turn on the power to this device, the host processor 1
Step 2 performs initial settings, and if there are no problems, displays a message "Insert the access key card" on the display device 17 (Sl). Here, the operator inserts the access key card AC into the card reader/writer 18 (S2). Then, the access key card AC is supplied with Nm and activated, and a check is made between the access key card AC and the host processor 12 to see if the inserted access key card AC is compatible with this device. It is done (S3.S4). This compatibility verification is performed, for example, in the following manner.

That is, a terminal access code is stored in the terminal access code area 52 of the memory section 50 of the access key card AC, and by requesting this terminal access code from the host processor 12 and returning it to the host processor 12, the host It is compared with a code registered in the processor 12. Next, the host processor 12 sends the card access code to the access key card AC, and the access key card A is checked against the card access code in the card access code area 53 of the memory section 50.
Do this in C. By any method, it is verified that the host processor 12 and the access key card AC can access each other. If the host processor 12 and the access key card AC cannot be matched here, the access key card AC is connected to the card reader.
It is ejected from the writer 18 (S5), and the entire process ends.

Note that since the access key card AC was different, if another access key card AC is used, the process will start from the first step.

In step S4, if the host processor 12 and the access key card AC are matched, the host processor 12 displays the message "Enter your PIN" on the display device 17.
A message is displayed (S6). Here, the operator inputs the password using the keyboard 16 (
S7). This entered PIN number is sent to the access key card AC by the host processor 12, and is sent to the control section (not shown) of the access key card AC and the control program area 51 of the memory section 50 within the access key card AC. Verification with the password in the password area 54 is performed using the tl1m program (S8).
. If the PIN numbers do not match here, the error count area 57 of the memory unit 50 is checked (
S9). For example, if the number of mismatches reaches 3, it is determined that the access key card AC cannot be used.If the control program in the control program area 51 controls the access key card AC, it is determined whether the number of mismatches (the number of errors) is 3 or not. Check whether Here, if the number of mismatches has not reached 3, the value in the error count area 57 is 1.
The count is counted up (510), and the display device 17 shows “
The message "Password code mismatch, please enter the code again" is displayed, but the operation returns to step S6.

Then you will have to enter your PIN again. On the other hand, if the number of mismatches has reached three, a void command is written in the void area 56 of the memory section 50 (S11), and the access key card AC cannot be used thereafter. This method is carried out, for example, by issuing an unusable code instead of the terminal access code when verifying the host processor 12 and the access key card AC. In this way, when the access key card AC is voided, the user name area 55 of the memory section 50
The contents of the file are read out, and the user's name, unverified comments, date, etc. are printed by the printer 19 (812).
), the entire process ends after this printing is completed. The access key card AC is ejected from the card reader/writer 18 after the user's name is read before the above printing.

If the passwords match in step S8, the host processor 12 causes the display device 17 to display a message "insert key card" (813). Here, the key card KC is inserted into the card reader/writer 40 (814). Then, the key card KO and the read/write control unit 39 perform verification in the same manner as the above-described verification that the host processor 12 and the access key card AC can access each other (81).
5,816). If the key card KC and the reading/writing control unit 39 cannot be matched here, the key card KC is ejected from the card reader/writer 40 (S
17). If there is a new keycard KC, i.e. if you have inserted a different keycard KC by mistake, you can insert another correct keycard KC (318
).

If there is no other key card KO, press the end key on the keyboard 16 (S19). Then, after the contents of the user name area 55 of the memory section 50 of the access key card AC are read out, the access key card AC is ejected from the card reader/writer 18 (820). At the same time, the user name read from the user name area 55 is printed by the printer 19 along with the date (821).
, the entire process ends after this printing is completed.

In step 816, when the key card KO and the read/write-Jlll1 section 39 are matched, a signal to that effect is received from the read/write control section 39 via the microprocessor 28, so that the host processor 12
causes the display device 17 to display the message "Enter your password" (822). Here, the password is input using the keyboard 29 (823). If the password is entered by the administrator rather than by the operator using the access key card AC, the security of the IC card issuance operation will be enhanced. In addition, since the password is entered using the keyboard 29 provided in the issuance processing unit 27 instead of using the keyboard 16, security is improved as there is no wiring to the outside to prevent eavesdropping. It is being

The password entered on the keyboard 29 is sent to the key card KC by the microprocessor 28 via the reading/writing control section 39, and is sent to the key card KC by the control section (not shown) of the key card KO and the memory section 60. The control program in the control program area 61 is compared with the password in the password area 65 (S24). The verification result is sent from the key card KC to the read/write control unit 39 and further sent to the host processor 12 via the microprocessor 28. Therefore, the matching results (match, mismatch) are displayed on the display device 1.
7 can also be confirmed, the display 3 of the issuance processing unit 27
0, the verification result is also displayed, making the operation easy for the person who inputs the password of the key card KC in the issuance processing unit 27.

If the passwords do not match in step 824, the error count area 70 of the memory unit 60 is checked (825). For example, if the number of mismatches reaches three, if the key card KC is not usable and is controlled by the control program in the ilJ control program area 61, check whether the number of mismatches (errors) is three or not. Check. Here, if the number of mismatches has not reached three, the value in the error count area 70 is incremented by one (S26), and the display [17] shows [Password mismatch, please enter the code again. ” is displayed, but the operation returns to step 822. Then you will have to enter your PIN again. On the other hand, if the number of mismatches has reached three, a void instruction is written in the void area 69 of the memory unit 60 (827),
The key card KC cannot be used thereafter.

This method is carried out, for example, by issuing an unusable code instead of the terminal access code when checking the read/write control section 39 and the key card KC. In this way, when the key card KC is voided, the contents of the user name area 55 of the memory section 50 of the access key card AC and the contents of the user name area 66 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC are read out. After that, the access key card AC is ejected from the card reader/writer 18 and the key card KC is ejected from the card reader/writer 40. At the same time, the printer 19 prints the user name read from the user name area 55, the user name read from the user name area 66, unverified comments, date, etc. (S28).

After such processing, the operation of the apparatus ends, and if it is to be operated again, it must be restarted from the beginning.

If the passwords match in step S24, the host processor 12 causes the display @17 to display a message "Insert the fixed data card"(329>. Here, the fixed data card FC
is inserted into the card reader/writer 41 (S30). Then, fixed data card FC and read/write I
ll 1111 unit 39 performs verification in the same manner as the above-described verification that the read/write control unit 39 and key card KC can access each other (83
1,832). If the fixed data card FC and the reading/writing control unit 39 cannot be matched here, the fixed data card FC is
It is discharged from the writer 41 (833). If there is a new fixed data card FC, i.e. if a different fixed data card FC was inserted remotely, the correct different fixed data card FC can be inserted (834). If there is no other fixed data card FC, press the end key on the keyboard 16 (335). Then, after the contents of the user name area 55 of the memory section 50 of the access key card AC and the contents of the user name area 66 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC are read, the access key card AC is transferred to the card reader. The key card KC is ejected from the writer 18 and the card reader/writer 4o (S36).
At the same time, the printer 19 prints the user name read from the user name area 55, the user name read from the user name area 66, the comment, the date, etc. (337). After such processing, the operation of the apparatus ends, and if it is to be operated again, it must be restarted from the beginning.

In step 832, the fixed data card F
If C is matched with the read/write control unit 39, then the fixed data card FC and key card KC are matched (838°539). This verification is performed, for example, by reading the issuing code in the issuing code area 82 of the memory section 80 of the fixed data card FC by the reading/writing control section 39 and sending it to the key card KC. This is done by comparing the issue code in the issue code area 62. Both the key card KC and the fixed data card FC are used as bare cards, and therefore it is necessary to perform the above verification. Fixed data card FC has different issuers but is used in the same way (for example, if OO Bank and XXX Bank are affiliated and can be used with each other, it will be the same application), key card KC and fixed data card FC It is effective to separate the data card FC and data card FC. In this case, issue code area 8 of memory section 80 of fixed data card FC
By creating multiple issue codes in 2, it becomes possible to deal with key cards KC from different issuers. Of course, key card K
By storing all the data of the fixed data card FC (data that is included in the issued IC card) in O, it is also possible to start the device with only the key card KO. In this case, initial settings can be made using the keyboard 29 of the issue processing unit 27.

In step 839, if the key card KC and the fixed data card FC cannot be matched, the process proceeds to step 833 where the fixed data card FC is ejected, and the above-mentioned fixed data card FC and reading/writing control unit 39 are connected to each other. The same processing as when no match is made is performed.

In step S39, if the key card KO and fixed data card FC are matched, a signal to that effect is read and written to the microprocessor 2 by the write control unit 39.
8, the host processor 12 causes the display W117 to display a message "Enter your password" (S40). Here, the host processor 12 displays the message "Enter your password" on the display W117 (S40). 841). This is also a key card K
If the administrator, rather than the operator using the access key card AC, enters the PIN number in the same way as inputting the PIN number in C, the security of the IC card issuance operation will be enhanced.

The password entered on the keyboard 29 is sent to the fixed data card FC by the microprocessor 28 via three read/write control units, and is sent to the fixed data card FC within the fixed data card FC.
The control unit (not shown) in C, the control program area in the memory unit 80, and the control program in the area 81 perform verification against the password in the password area 85 (84
2). This verification result is the fixed data card FC.
The data is sent to the read/write control unit 39 and further sent to the host processor 12 via the microprocessor 28. Therefore, the display of the verification result (match, mismatch) can be confirmed on the display device 17, but the verification result is also displayed on the display 30 of the issuance processing unit 27, and the issuance processing unit 27 displays the password of the fixed data card FC. It is easy to operate for people who are inputting information.

If the passwords do not match in step 842, the error count area 88 of the memory section 80 is checked (843). For example, if the number of mismatches becomes three, it is determined that the fixed data card FC cannot be used.If the control program in the control program area 81 controls the number of mismatches (the number of errors), it is determined that the fixed data card FC cannot be used. Check whether Here, if the number of mismatches has not reached 3, the error count area 8
The value in 8 is incremented by one (S44), and the message "Password number mismatch, please enter the password again" is displayed on the display device 17, but the operation returns to step S40. Then you will have to enter your PIN again. On the other hand, if the number of mismatches has reached three, a void instruction is written in the void area 87 of the memory section 8o (
S45), the fixed data card FC cannot be used thereafter. This method is performed by, for example, outputting an unusable code instead of the terminal access code when comparing the read/write control unit 39 with the fixed data card FC. In this way, if the fixed data card FC is voided,
The contents of the user name area 55 of the memory section 50 of the access key card AC and the fixed data card FC
After the contents of the user name area 86 of the memory section 8o are read out, the access key card AC and the fixed data card FC are voiced from the card reader/writer 18 and 41, respectively. At the same time, the printer 19 prints the user name read from the user name area 55, the user name read from the user name area 86, unverified comments, date, etc. (S46). After such processing,
The operation of this device has ended, and if it is to be operated again, it must be started from the beginning.

If the PIN numbers match in step S42, the host processor 12 causes the display device i7 to display a message "Please input data" (S47).Here, for each IC card to be written to the IC card to be issued, A floppy disk (or magnetic tape) containing different data files is set in the floppy disk device 14 (or magnetic tape unit 15) (848).
). Next, an unissued IC card is set in the hopper 31 of the issuing processing unit 27 (S49). Next, by pressing the start key on the keyboard 16 (8
50), the startup of this device is completed.

The read/write control section 39 reads the contents of the issued number area 71 (the number of issued sheets written in advance by the administrator and is to be issued this time) and the issued count area 72 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC, and stores both contents. Compare,
When the contents of the issue number area 71 are larger than the contents of the issue count area 72, a signal indicating that there is an issue number is sent to the host processor 12 via the microprocessor 28.

As a result, the host processor 12 reads the IC card issue data from the floppy disk device 14 and sends it to the microprocessor 28.

Then, the microprocessor 28 outputs the I from the hopper 31.
Take out one C card (851). When the removed IC card comes to the encoder 32, the microprocessor 2
8 writes the data sent from the host processor 12 onto the magnetic stripe 2 of the IC card (S52). After the writing is completed, the microprocessor 28 reads the written data and compares it with the data stored in the microprocessor 28 and sent from the host processor 12.
It is checked whether the written data is correctly written (853). If the writing is incomplete in this check, the microprocessor 28 writes the data again (S54). Then, check again (S5
5) If the writing is still incomplete, the IC card is considered defective and sent to the destruction unit 35, a hole 8 is punched in the magnetic stripe 2 (S56), and the IC card is sent to the destruction unit 35.
are accumulated in the reject stacker 37 (857
), and the record thereof is recorded in the hard disk device 13 by the host processor 12. When the defective IC cards are accumulated in the reject stacker 37, the microprocessor 28 returns to step 851 and returns to the hopper 3.
The next IC card will be taken out from 1.

If the writing is normal in the check at step 853 or 855, the IC card on which the magnetic data has been written is sent to the embossing unit 33, and embossed information 3 is formed by the microprocessor 28 (858).

Since the embossing is performed by pressing one character at a time, the microprocessor 28 performs the embossing while checking the pressed character position one character at a time (S59).

Therefore, when one character is erroneously embossed during embossing, the embossing is stopped and the IC card is sent to the destruction unit 35 as defective (360). The embossed information is usually at least the number (account number in banks) and name of the person carrying the IC card, so if it forms one line of either of these, or both, it is impossible to use it fraudulently. Destroy the embossed information 3 part.

Here, in order to emboss the wearer's number first, a hole 9 is made in the part corresponding to the number using the destruction unit 35.

In this case, the progress of embossing formation is determined (the microprocessor 28 checks the point at which embossing is interrupted).
(861), the microprocessor 28 punches only the magnetic stripe 2 (862'') or punches both the magnetic stripe 2 and the embossed information 3 (863), and then proceeds to step 857. It is accumulated in a reject stacker 37.

When the embossed information 3 is accurately formed, the IC card is sent to the reader/writer unit 34, and the contact part 5 comes to the contact position of the reader/writer unit 34 and is stopped. Then, the microprocessor 28 controls the contact section (not shown) of the reader/writer unit 34 to come into contact with the contact section 5 of the IC card, and then sends a signal indicating that the contact section has been brought into contact to the read/write control section 39. . Read/write control section 3 that receives this signal
9 supplies Na to the control unit 6 and memory unit 7 of the IC card, and performs initial signal transmission and reception (the basic control program in the basic control program area 91 of the memory unit 7 is
This is written when the card is manufactured, so initial signals can be sent and received). When the initial signal exchange is completed, the key card KO is issued via the reading/writing control unit 39.
Verification with the C card is performed (864, 865).

This verification method is performed, for example, by verifying the issued tone plate password. It is considered that when an unissued IC card is handed over from a manufacturer to an issuer, a password is set for the exchange between the manufacturer and the issuer to prevent unauthorized use by a third party. Furthermore, since this PIN number is required only when the IC card is delivered, the issued tone plate PIN number is used as a separate PIN number after the IC card is issued. Verification using the issued tone plate PIN number is performed in the following manner. First, the reading/writing control section 39 reads out the issued tone plate password in the issued tone plate password area 67 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC, and sends it to the control section 6 of the IC card to be issued. The control unit 6 reads the issue tone plate password written by the manufacturer in the issuer recording area 93 (area where data such as issuer name and issuer code are written) of the memory unit 7, and reads the issue tone plate password from the read/write control unit 39. Check it against the issued tone plate PIN number sent from . If the issued tone plate PIN numbers do not match after this verification, the writing of the magnetic data and the formation of the embossed information have been completed, so the IC card is sent to the destruction unit 35 (866
), the magnetic stripe 2 and the embossed information 3 are widened (867), and then the process proceeds to step 357 where they are stacked on the reject stacker 37.

If the issuing board PIN numbers match in step 865, the fixed data in the issuer record area 93 and application program area 95 of the memory section 7 and the variable data (carryer's (name, account number, etc.) (86
8). This writing is performed as follows. First, fixed data is read from the data area 89 of the memory section 80 of the fixed data card FC and written into the memory section 7. The contents of the fixed data include the application program written in the application program area 95,
These include area divisions of the issue record area 94 and the bearer record area 96. When writing of this fixed data is completed, the contents of the issuer record area 68 of the memory section 6o of the key card KC are successively written to the issuer record area 9 of the memory section 7.
Write in 3. Reading of data from the fixed data card FC and key card KO and writing of data to the memory section 7 are all performed by the read/write control section 39. When the writing of these data is completed, the read/write control unit 39 writes the variable data for the wearer sent from the host processor 12 via the microprocessor 28 into the wearer recording area 96 of the memory unit 7.

In this way, when data writing to the memory section 7 is completed,
The read/write control section 39 reads the written data and checks the written data in the memory section 7 by comparing it with the data from the fixed data card FC1 key card KC and the host processor 12 (S8
9). As a result of this check, if the writing is defective, the data is written into the memory section 7 again (S70). However, if there is a write failure again (S71) and the application is possible to some extent (872), the void data is written to the issue recording area 94 of the memory unit 7 so that it cannot be used (S7
4). If it is not possible to write void data, it is sent as a defective IC card to the destruction unit 35, where holes are punched in the magnetic stripe 2 and embossed information 3 parts (873, 875), and then the process proceeds to step 857 where it is rejected. They are accumulated in a stacker 37. Of course, when a defective IC card is stacked in the reject stacker 37, it is checked and sent to the reading layer control section 39 via the microprocessor 28, so that the defect count area 73 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC is checked. One content is uploaded and recorded. This is done by the encoder 32 and the encoder 32.

Similarly, if the embossing unit 33 becomes defective,
This is recorded when a defective IC card is stacked on the reject stacker 37. Of course, the data is also recorded on the hard disk device 13 of the host processor 12.

If the writing is normal in the check in step 869 or 871, the read/write unit 39 calculates the temporary carrier PIN number using random numbers (376), and records the calculated temporary carrier PIN number in the memory unit 7. Write to area 96 (877), then read and write 1l
The Jlss 39 reads the cumulative issuance value from the cumulative issuance area 74 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC, adds 1 to the cumulative issuance value, and writes it as an issuance number in the issuance record area 94 of the memory section 70 (378). At the same time, the user's name (or code) is successively outputted from the access key card AC1 key card KC and the fixed data card FC and written into the issuance recording area 94 of the memory section 7. When this is completed, the read/write control unit 39 writes unrewritable hold data in the basic control program area 91 of the memory unit 7 (S79), and writes the temporary PIN of the carrier and the PIN of the carrier into the basic control program area 91 of the memory unit 7. It is not possible to rewrite anything other than what is written when receiving the data.

Then, this IC card is issued, and the stacker 38
The data is sent to and accumulated (882). Further, the read/write control section 39 increments each content of the issuance count area 72 and the issuance cumulative area 74 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC by 1 (380). After writing the hold data in step 879, host processor 1
2 prints a shipping note for the IC card (all this data can be created from data recorded on the floppy disk of the Otsubi disk device 14 or the magnetic tape of the magnetic tape unit 15) by the printer 19, and prints the above-mentioned information by the printer 20. An issuance notice 121 is created with the calculated mobile signboard PIN code printed on it (881). When the temporary PIN number of the bearer is printed by the printer 20, the memory in the read/write control unit 39 is erased, and the temporary PIN number thereby becomes highly secure.

When the read/write control section 39 counts up the issuance count area 72 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC, it compares the number with the content of the issued number area 71 to determine whether the number of issued cards has reached the planned number. It is checked whether or not (883). As a result of this check, if the planned number of cards has not been reached, a signal to that effect is sent to the host processor 12, so after receiving the data from the host processor 12, the microprocessor 28 takes out one IC card from the hopper 31 ( 851). As a result of the check in step S83, if the scheduled number of sheets has been reached (if the contents of the issuance count area 72 after counting up and the contents of the issuance number area 71 are the same), the issuance ends. Of course, even if there is data to be issued to the host processor 12 side, the issuance ends.

In addition, before writing the hold data in step 879, the serial number written in the manufacturer record area 92 of the memory section 7 (a serial number is attached to each IC card manufactured by the manufacturer, along with the manufacturing record). By reading out the stored number) and writing it in the issuance record area 75 of the memory section 60 of the key card KO as the serial number of the issued IC card, it is possible to check the IC card including the manufacturing number, which is effective for management.

When the issuance is completed in this way, the read/write control unit 39 writes the contents of the issuance count area 72 and defective count area 73 of the memory section 6o of the key card KC to the issuance record area 75 along with the date (884), and then issues The contents of the count area 72 and defective count area 73 are cleared respectively. Since the content of the cumulative issue area 74 is the total number of issues issued so far, it remains unchanged and becomes the final issue number. When this writing is completed, the host processor 12 causes the display device 17 to display a message "Press the end key" (885). Here, press the end key on the keyboard 16 (8
86). Thereby, the host processor 12 prints the issuance record stored in the hard disk device 13 using the printer 19 (S87). For example, as shown in FIG. 11, this issuance record includes the serial number read out from the IC cards issued in the order of issuance number, the name and address of the bearer inputted by the floppy disk device 14 (or magnetic tape unit 15). etc. will be printed.

Also, by opening the outlet door 42 of the issue processing unit 27, the reject stacker 37 and the stacker 38 can be removed.
The defective IC card and the issued IC card are respectively taken out (888). In addition, defective IC cards,
Since at least the magnetic stripe 2 or both the magnetic stripe 2 and the embossed information 3 are perforated, it can be easily distinguished from the issued IC card.

After that, when the end key is pressed again on the keyboard 16 (S89), the host processor 12 writes the issuance date and the issuance date to the issuance record area 758 of the access key card AC, in the same way as the issuance record was written to the key card KC. The number of issued cards, number of defective cards, key card code, fixed data card code, etc. are written (S90). This records what kind of issue was issued, when and how many copies were issued.

Then, the access key card AC, key card KC, and fixed data card FC are ejected (
S91), all operations of this device end.

In the IC card processing device described above, the read/write control unit 39 calculates unique information that identifies the carrier (user) of the IC card, that is, a temporary PIN number, and stores the calculated temporary PIN number in the memory of the IC card. Record in 7. At the same time, a sealed issuance notification 21 with the temporary password calculated above printed thereon is created using the printer 2o. Therefore, by sending the created issuance notice 21 to the person carrying the IC card, you can transfer the temporary PIN given to the person carrying the IC card without having to travel to the issuer's office (and without it being known to others). Only the person carrying the phone can know.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, instead of the key card KO and its card reader/writer 40, a data holding device equipped with a control section and a memory section that can store information that identifies the user and perform internal verification may be used, and the read/write control section 39 may be used. It is conceivable to connect them with detachable contacts.

Similarly, the fixed data card FC and its card reader/writer 41 are also data storage devices equipped with a control unit and a memory unit that can store and internally check information that identifies the user, and control reading and writing. It is conceivable to connect to the portion 39 by a detachable contact. In addition, although a secret IE number was used to identify the user of the key card KC and fixed data card FC, it is also possible to memorize the user's physical characteristics such as fingerprints or signature, and use that information for verification. It is. In that case, the keyboard 29 of the issuing processing unit 27 needs to be provided with means for inputting fingerprints, signatures, etc.

Further, in the above embodiment, the portable storage medium is an IC card with a magnetic stripe, but the same applies to an IC card without a magnetic stripe or an optical memory card called a laser memory card. can.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, the unique information that identifies the user recorded on the portable storage medium can be made known to others without having to go to the issuer. It is possible to provide a portable storage medium processing device that can create an issuance notice that only the user himself/herself can know.
