Description

The invention relates to a mobile card terminal for reading chip cards, the card terminal having four chip card contacting units for a chip card, a surface sensor-based input option, at least one USB interface and an energy store.

Smart cards are used in various areas as a storage medium and for authentication or identification.

The insurance cards issued by the health insurances to the insured persons are in practice memory chip cards, which are usually equipped with a memory chip with a size of 256 bits. This applies to statutory health insurance as well as private health insurance. A record stored on a standard insurance card usually consists at least of the card number, name of the insured person, address, date of birth, insurance number, insurance name, insured status, insurance number and, if applicable, validity period. The insurance number and the name or designation of the insurance identify the respective health insurance or the respective branch or branch of a health insurance. The insurance number allows the insured person to be identified by this insurance. The card number allows the identification of a single chip card issued by the respective insurance company. The memory chip is written by the respective health insurance, which then issues the insurance card to the insured person. With the respective service providers (eg physicians), the personal data stored on the chip card can be read into a computer with a chip card reader (or card terminal). Reading in the data merely serves to simplify data collection in the service provider's home and to simplify subsequent billing.

Incidentally, in the banking sector debit cards on magnetic stripe basis and money cards or cash cards with a chip known. These are so-called Smart Cards or microprocessor cards, which have a microprocessor (CPU) and, where appropriate, also ROM, EEPROM, RAM and an I / O port. The use of such cards is often in the context of a PIN code entry to enable functions provided by the card by an authorized user.

Chip cards can u. a. be used as an electronic wallet, SIM card, passport, e-ticket, identity card, calling card or smart card.

To read the chip cards card readers are described in the prior art. The card readers not only read data stored on the card, but can also write data to the card or drive applications on the smart card; Therefore one speaks also of a chip card terminal.

The devices power the smart card, clock it, and establish communication according to the supported parameters of the card, which the card tells the reader via the ATR (Answer to Reset). The chip card readers are often differentiated according to the main area of application, with no universally applicable card reader is described. In the prior art, the card readers can be used for administration and finance, but also for mobile communications.
