Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Objective of the Invention J <Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a portable storage medium processing device for issuing a portable storage medium such as an IC card.

(Prior art) Generally, cards with magnetic stripes used for identification cards or credit cards, so-called magnetic cards, have problems such as low security because they have a small amount of stored data and are easy to read out. There is.

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, in the conventional IC card issuance processing method, data written on a magnetic tape or floppy disk is directly input to a card reader/writer via a host computer, as in the case of conventional magnetic card issuance.
A method is used in which the IC card is issued by writing on an unissued IC card.

However, in the past, since IC cards were only issued, even if an IC card was issued fraudulently, it was impossible to pursue the issue, posing a security problem.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the past, even if a portable storage medium was tampered with, it was impossible to investigate, posing a security problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a portable storage medium processing device that can easily investigate illegal processing of a portable storage medium and has excellent security. do.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The portable storage medium processing device of the present invention records information that can identify the portable storage medium processing \Alt on the processed portable storage medium. It is characterized by

(Function) Since information that can identify the portable storage medium processing device is recorded on the processed portable storage medium, if the portable storage medium is illegally processed, this recorded information can be checked. , which portable storage media processing device processed the portable storage media, etc. It is easy to identify the portable storage media processing device that processed the portable storage media illegally, and it is easy to pursue the problem, and it has excellent security. Become something.

(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. , is the host of this RH. 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 CR7 display device for displaying operating procedures, status, etc., and these are connected to the host processor 12.

18 is a card reader/writer, and the 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.

Reference numeral 19 is a printer that creates a shipping time for shipping the issued IC card to its holder, and 20 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 issuance notice 21 for separate notification, and these printers are connected to the host processor 12. The issuance notice 21 created by the printer 20 is structured as shown in FIG. 5, for example. 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 perforations 24 provided on the peripheral edge. ing. Then, on this issuance notice 21, 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, that is, control to write magnetic data on the magnetic stripe 2 of the IC card according to instructions from 2, and illumination to form embossed information 3 on the IC card.
l II.

A keyboard 29 and a display 3o are connected to a microprocessor 28 for controlling the writing of data into the memory section 7 of the IC card. The keyboard 29 is used for inputting a password, testing the book issuing processing unit 27, resetting in case of trouble, and the like. The display 30 displays the status of the main issue processing unit 27, the results of test operations, and the like.

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 encoding unit 32, the microprocessor 28 writes magnetic data on the magnetic stripe 2 using a write/read head (not shown). After writing is completed, the microprocessor 28 reads the written data, checks whether the written data is correctly written, and then sends the IC card to the embossing unit 33.

If the written data is incorrect, the magnetic data is damaged 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 write 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 punching 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 device. 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 is written normally and the embossed information 3 is 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 using the reader/writer unit 34 (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 punched 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 control section 39 indicating that the contact of the contact section 5 has been completed, the read/write control section 39 supplies power to the control section 6 and the memory section 7 via the contact section 5. and sends a start signal (command).

After receiving a reply signal (response) from the IC card control unit 6, the read/write IJtl1 unit 39 reads the key card KC and the card reader/writer inserted into the card reader/writer 40 connected to the read/write control unit 39. The data from the fixed data card FC inserted into the writer 41 is written into the memory section 7 of the IC card and checked. Now read and write that the data has been successfully written! 111!1 section 39, the microprocessor 28 receives a signal from the read/write control section 39 and moves the reader/writer unit 3 to separate the contact section (not shown) from the contact section 5 of the IC card.
Control 4. Thereafter, under the control of the microprocessor 28, 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 is the key card KO
and fixed data card FC, for example, the third
An IC card similar to the one shown in the figure 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 so that since the embossed information is written using a press, 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.

96 is a carrying person recording 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 an N source and activated, and a check is made between the access key card AC and the post processor 12 to see if the inserted access key card AC is compatible with this device. is done (33.84). This compatibility verification is performed, for example, in the following manner.

That is, a terminal access code is stored in the terminal access need 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 1'2 sends the card access code to the access key card AC, and the card access code in the card access code area 53 of the memory section 50 is checked in the access key card AC. However, the host processor 12 and the access key card AC are verified to be able to access each other.If the host processor 12 and the access key card AC cannot be verified here, the access key card AC is ejected from the card reader/writer 18 (85), 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. The control program checks the PIN number in the PIN area 54 (88). If the PIN numbers do not match, the memory unit 5
The error count area 57 of 0 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 three, the value in the error count area 57 is incremented by one (S10), and the display bag [17] shows the message ``Password mismatch, please enter the pin 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 (811), 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 contents of the user name area 55 of the memory section 50 are read out, and the printer 19 reads out the user's name,
Mismatched comments and dates are printed (S12).
, 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 bag @17 to display a message "insert key card" (313). Here, the key card KC is inserted into the card reader/writer 40 (314). Then, the key card KC and the read/write control unit 39 verify that they can access each other in the same way as the host processor 12 and the access key card AC described above verify that they can access each other (31).
5,816>. If the key card KC and the reading/writing control unit 39 cannot be matched here, the key card KO is ejected from the card reader/writer 40 (3
17). If there is a new keycard KO, i.e. if you have inserted a different keycard KC by mistake, you can insert another correct keycard KC (818
).

If there is no other key card KC, press the end key on the keyboard 16 (819). 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 guard KC and the read/write controller 39 are matched, the host processor 12 receives a signal to that effect from the read/write controller 39 via the microprocessor 28, and the host processor 12 displays the display device 17. A message "Please enter your password" is displayed (822). Here, the password is input using the keyboard 29 (S23). 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 process will be completely improved. 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 KO by the microprocessor 28 via the read/write controller 39, and is stored in the 1IIlltl1 section (not shown) of the key card KO and the memory section 60 inside the key card KC. The control program in the control program area 61 is compared with the password in the password area 65 (S24). This verification result is sent from the key card KO to the read/write control section 39 and further sent to the host processor 12 via the microprocessor 28. Therefore, although the display of the matching result (match, mismatch) can be confirmed on the display device 17, the issue processing unit 2
The verification result is also displayed on the display 30 of No. 7, making the operation easy for the person who inputs the password of the key card KC in the issuing processing unit 27.

If the passwords do not match in step 824, the error count area 7o of the memory section 60 is checked (825). For example, if the number of mismatches reaches 3, if the key card KC is not usable and is controlled by the control program in the control program area 61, check whether the number of mismatches (errors) is 3 or not. To check. Here, if the number of mismatches has not reached 3, the value in the error count area 70 is incremented by one (S26), and the display 17 displays "Password mismatch, please enter your code again". message 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 command is written in the void area 69 of the memory section 60 (827>), and 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 6o 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 KO is ejected from the card reader/writer 4o. At the same time, the printer 19 prints the user name read from the user name area 55, user name read from the user name area 66, unverified comments, date, etc. (828);
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 824, the host processor 12 causes the display device 17 to display a message "insert fixed data card" (829). Here, Fixed Data Card FC
is inserted into the card reader/writer 41 (830). Then, the fixed data card FC and the read/write controller 39 perform verification in the same manner as the above-described verification that the read/write controller 39 and the key card KC can access each other (S31). .532)
. If the fixed data card FC and the reading/writing control unit 39 cannot be matched here, the fixed data card FC is ejected from the card reader/writer 41 (833). If there is a new fixed data card FC, that is, if a different fixed data card FC is inserted by mistake, another correct fixed data card FC can be inserted (S34). 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 (836). 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. (837). 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 (83B).

$39). This verification is carried out, for example, by reading the issuing code in the issuing code area 82 of the memory section 80 of the fixed data card FC using the reading/writing system m section 39 and sending it to the key card KC. This is done by comparing it with the issue code in the issue code area 62 of. Both the key card KC and fixed data card FC are used as a pair, so 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 OQ 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, by creating a plurality of issue codes in the issue code area 82 of the memory section 800 of the fixed data card FC, it becomes possible to deal with key cards KC from different issuers. Of course, the fixed data card FC data (data to be written to the issued IC card) is stored in the key card KC.
By storing all of the information, 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 KO and fixed data card FC cannot be matched, the process proceeds to step 333 where the fixed data card FC is ejected, and the above-mentioned fixed data card FC and reading/writing control section 39 are connected. The same processing as when no match is made is performed.

In step 839, if the key card KC and fixed data card FC are matched, a signal to that effect is sent from the read/write control unit 39 to the microprocessor 2.
8, the host processor 12 causes the display 1fff17 to display a message "Enter your password" (840). Here, the user inputs the password using the keyboard 29 in the same way as inputting the password of the key card KC (841). This also applies to the access key card AC in the same way as inputting the PIN number of the key card KC.
If the administrator rather than the operator using the IC card issues the IC card, the security of the IC card issuing operation will be improved.

The password entered on the keyboard 29 is read by the microprocessor 28 and sent to the fixed data card FC via the polishing control section 39.
The control unit (not shown) of C and the control program in the control program area 81 of the memory unit 80 perform verification against the password in the password area 85 (842
). This verification result is sent from the fixed data card FC to the read/write section 39 and further sent to the host processor 12 via the microprocessor 28. Therefore, the verification result (match, mismatch) can be displayed in the display bag [17], but the verification result is also displayed in the display 30 of the issuance processing unit 27, and the issuance processing unit 27 displays the fixed data card
This makes the operation easier for those who have entered the PIN code of C.

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 reaches 3, it means that the fixed data card FC cannot be used. Check to see if there is one. here,
If the number of mismatches has not reached three, the value in the error count area 88 is incremented by one (844).
), the message "Password code not verified, please enter the code again" is displayed on the display device 17, but the operation returns to step 840. 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 87 of the memory section 80 (845), and 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 checking the read/write section 39 and the fixed data card FC. In this way, if the fixed data card FC is voided, the memory section 5 of the access key card AC
The contents of the user name area 55 of 0 and the user name area 8 of the memory section 80 of the fixed data card FC
After the contents of 6 are read out, the access key card AC is ejected from the card reader/writer 18 and the fixed data card FC is ejected from the card reader/writer 41. At the same time, one printer prints the user name read from the user name area 55, the user name read from the user name area 86, unverified comments, dates, etc. (S46). After this process, the operation of this device ends, and if you want to restart it, you will need to start from the beginning.

If the passwords match in step S42, the host processor 12 causes the display device 17 to display a message "Enter data" (847). Here, a floppy disk (or magnetic tape), which is a file of different data for each IC card to be written to the IC card to be issued, 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 270 (349). Next, by pressing the start key on the keyboard 16 (8
50), the startup of this device is completed.

The read/write control unit 39 reads the contents of the issue number area 71 of the memory unit 600 of the key card KO (the number to be issued this time written in advance by the administrator) and the contents of the issue count area 72, and compares the two contents. death,
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 (351). 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 (852). After 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 (553). If this check indicates that the write is incomplete, the microprocessor 28 writes the data again (854). Then, check again (S5
5) If the writing is still incomplete, the IC card is considered defective! ! The magnetic stripes 2 are sent to the destruction unit 35, a hole 8 is made in the magnetic stripe 2 (356), and the reject stacker 37 is stacked by the dividing section 36 (8).
57). The record is then recorded in the hard disk device 13 by the host processor 12. When defective IC cards are accumulated in the reject stacker 37,
The microprocessor 28 returns to step 851 and takes out the next IC card from the hopper 31.

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 (860). 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 power 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 KC and the issued I
Verification with the C card is performed (864.565).

This verification method is performed, for example, by verifying the issuer's temporary PIN number. 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 is required only when the IC card is delivered, the issuer's temporary PIN is used as a separate PIN after the IC card is issued. Verification using the issuer's temporary PIN is performed in the following manner. First, the read/write control unit 39 reads out the issuer temporary PIN number in the issuer temporary PIN area 67 of the memory unit 60 of the key card KC, and sends it to the control unit 6 of the IC card to be issued. The control unit 6 reads the temporary issuer PIN written by the manufacturer in the issuer recording area 93 (area where data such as the issuer name and issuer code are written) of the memory unit 7, and executes the read/write control unit. Check it against the issuer's temporary PIN number that was sent to you from 39. If the issuer's temporary PIN does 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 (S66
), holes are punched in the magnetic stripe 2 and embossed information 3 portions (867), and the process then proceeds to step 857 where they are stacked on the reject stacker 37.

If the issuer temporary PIN numbers match in step 865, the fixed data in the issuer record area 93 and the application program area 95 of the memory section 7 and the variable data (the carrier's (name, account number, etc.) (86
8). This trapping is carried out as follows. First, fixed data is read from the data area 89 of the memory section 8o 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 60 of the key card KC are read out and the contents of the issuer record area 9 of the memory section 70 are read out.
Write in 3. Reading of data from the fixed data card FC and key card KC 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 section 3 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 section 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 KO and the host processor 12 (86
9). As a result of this check, if the gate is defective, it is written into the memory section 7 again (870). 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 read/write section 39 via the microprocessor 28, so that the contents of the defect count area 73 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC are checked. is uploaded and recorded. Similarly, when the encoder 32 and the embossing unit 33 become defective, the reject stacker 37 will also receive a defective IC.
Recorded when a card is collected. 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 reading/writing control unit 39 calculates the temporary carrier PIN number using random numbers (876), and records the calculated temporary carrier PIN number in the memory unit 7. 1 is entered into the area 96 (S77), and then the read/write control unit 39
The cumulative issuance value is read from the cumulative issuance area 74 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC, and the sum of 1 is added to the cumulative issuance value and written as the issuance number in the issuance record area 94 of the memory section 7 (878). At the same time, access key card AC
, Key Card KC and Fixed Data Card FC
The user's name (or code) is read out and written into the issuance record 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 70 (S79), and writes the PIN number that is the nap card number of the bearer and the 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 vl 8 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 (S80). Step S79
After writing the hold data at , the host processor 12 uses the printer 19 to send the IC card! (All of this data can be created from data recorded on the floppy disk of the floppy disk device 14 or the magnetic tape of the magnetic tape unit 15), and the temporary PIN number of the carrier calculated above is printed by the printer 20. A notification layer 21 is created (381). When the bearer's nap card number is printed by the printer 20, the memory in the read/write control section 39 is erased, thereby making the nap card number extremely secure.

When the reading capture control unit 39 counts up the issuance count area 72 of the memory unit 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 scheduled number. It is checked whether it has been done (883). As a result of this check, if the planned number of cards is not exceeded, a signal to that effect is sent to the host processor 12. After receiving the data from the host processor 12, the microprocessor 28 takes out one IC card from the hopper 31 ( 351). 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 KC 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 reading layering control unit 39 writes the contents of the issuance count area 72 and defective count area 73 of the memory section 60 of the key card KC together with the date into the issuance record area 75 (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 r 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 (887). For example, as shown in FIG. 11, this issuance record includes serial numbers read from IC cards issued in the order of issuance numbers, floppy disks, etc. f14 (or magnetic tape unit 15>) are printed.Furthermore, by opening the output door 42 of the issuance processing unit 27, the reject stacker 37 and the stacker 3 are printed.
The defective IC card and the issued IC card are taken out from 8 (888). In addition, since defective IC cards have holes punched at least in the magnetic stripe 2 or in both the magnetic stripe 2 and embossed information 3, they can be easily distinguished from issued IC cards. There is.

Thereafter, when the end key is pressed again on the keyboard 16 (S89), the host processor 12 writes the issuance date and issuance record area 58 of the access key card AC in the same way as the issuance record was written to the key card KC. The number of sheets, number of defective sheets, key card code, fixed data card code, etc. are written (890). 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 (
891), all operations of this device end.

The IC card processing device described above is capable of processing IC cards that have been processed for issuance.
For the memory section 7 of the card, information that can identify the data input means, such as the access key card AC user name for inputting data to start the device, and a key for inputting data to be written to the IC card. The names of the users of the card KC and fixed data card FC are recorded respectively. As a result, if 10 cards are issued fraudulently, each card AC recorded on the IC card
I decided to check the user names of , KC, and FC.
Each card AC used for fraudulent issuance processing.

Easily identify and track down KC and FC (users)
In addition, it provides excellent security.

In the above embodiment, each card AC, KC is provided as information that can identify the data input means on the issued IC card.
, Although the user name of the FC is recorded, any other information other than the user name may be used as long as it is identifiable information, and the information does not necessarily have to be able to identify the data input means. In short, it is sufficient to record information that can identify this device.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible. 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 check information for identifying the user inside the storage V1 is used, and the read/write control section 39 and It is conceivable to connect them with removable contacts.

Similarly, the fixed data card FC and its card reader/writer 41 are also data storage devices equipped with an Ill@ section and a memory section that can store and internally check information that identifies the user, and read and write information. It is conceivable that the controller 39 is connected to the control unit 39 through detachable contacts. Also,
Although the IIB identification number was used to identify the user of the key card KC and fixed data card FC,
For example, it is also possible to store the user's physical characteristics such as fingerprints or signatures and use them for verification. 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 embodiment, an IC card is issued by writing predetermined data to an unissued IC card.
Although we have explained the case where it is applied to a C card processing device,
The present invention is not limited to this, but can be similarly applied to an IC card processing device that writes initialization data to an IC card, for example, at the stage of manufacturing the IC card.

Further, in the above embodiments, the case where the portable storage medium is an IC card with a magnetic stripe has been described, but it can be similarly applied to the case of an IC card without a magnetic stripe or an optical memory card called a laser memory card. .

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, if a portable storage medium is illegally processed, it can be easily investigated, and a portable storage medium processing device with excellent security can be provided.
