Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wertkartenmappe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a prepaid card holder according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Mappen sind nach Art von Visitenkartenbüchern oder Flipmappen handelsüblich, oft integriert in ein Portemonnaie oder in eine Brieftasche, wie beispielsweise in der DE 2 95 16 145 U1 näher beschrieben. Gegen Herausrutschen der eingesteckten Kredit-, Scheckoder Chipkarten sind sie häufig mit Druckknöpfen oder Stecklaschen und dergleichen einfach zu öffnenden mechanischen Verschlüssen versehen. Das bedeutet allerdings, daß ein Unbefugter, der eine solche Mappe entwendet oder findet, recht problemlos die darin enthaltenen Karten unautorisiert nutzen kann.Such folders are commercially available in the manner of business card books or flip folders, often integrated into a wallet or into a wallet, such as in DE 2 95 16 145 U1 described in more detail. Against slipping out of the inserted credit, check or Chip cards are often simple with snaps or tabs and the like mechanical closures. However, this means that a An unauthorized person who steals or finds such a folder can easily find the one contained in it Can use cards without authorization.
Deshalb ist in der gattungsbildenden DE 1 96 34 876 A1 ein Verschluß für eine Magnetkarten-Mappe vorgesehen, der erst durch Eingabe einer Geheiminformation freigebbar ist. Sollte die dortige Mappe von einem Unbefugten, also ohne vorherige Eingabe der korrekten Geheiminformation geöffnet werden, dann wird dadurch ein Stromkreis geschlossen und über integrierte Spulen ein elektromagnetisches Feld erzeugt, das die in den Magnetstreifen der Karten enthaltenen Informationen stört oder sogar zerstört; jedenfalls so verändert, daß mit den unbefugt entnommenen Karten kein Mißbrauch mehr getrieben werden kann. Therefore, in the generic DE 1 96 34 876 A1 is a closure for a magnetic card folder provided that can only be released by entering secret information. If the folder there is accessed by an unauthorized person, i.e. without entering the correct one beforehand Secret information is opened, then a circuit is closed and generates an electromagnetic field via integrated coils, which is in the magnetic stripe disrupting or even destroying the information contained in the cards; anyway so changed that the cards are no longer misused with unauthorized cards can.
Allerdings ist jede der in einer solchen Mappe untergebrachten Wertkarten vom Befugten gewöhnlich nur mit derjenigen PIN-Nummer verwendbar, die ihr individuell zugeordnet ist und die aus Sicherheitsgründen von Zeit zu Zeit eingezogen wird, um sie durch eine andere zu ersetzen, z.B. bei Ausgabe einer neuen Wertkarte nach Ablauf der bisherigen Nutzungsfrist. Daraus resultiert, daß der Nutzer eine Vielzahl von wechselnden PIN-Nummern kennen muß, um seinen Kartenvorrat auch nutzen zu können. Wenn er sich aber gegen Verwechslungen oder allgemein gegen seine Vergeßlichkeit die PIN-Nummern in der Nähe der Karten notiert, dann ist der Sicherungszweck verfehlt, weil auch ein Unbefugter sich dann wieder der Karten - nun über ihre PIN-Nummern - bedienen kann, was versicherungstechnisch als grobes Mitverschulden am dadurch eintretenden Schaden gewertet wird.However, each of the prepaid cards in such a folder is authorized usually only usable with the PIN number that is assigned to it individually and which, for security reasons, is drawn in from time to time by another to replace, e.g. when a new prepaid card is issued after the previous period of use. As a result, the user knows a variety of changing PIN numbers must also be able to use his card stock. But if he is against confusion or generally, against his forgetfulness, the PIN numbers near the Cards noted, then the security purpose is wrong, because even an unauthorized person again the cards - now using their PIN numbers - can serve what is underwriting is regarded as gross contributory negligence in the damage that occurs as a result.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, trotz erhöhter Sicherheit gegen unbefugte Kartennutzung einen gesteigerten Nutzungskompfort bei Wertkarten beliebiger Systeme in Hinblick darauf zu eröffnen, daß eine Kartenbenutzung gewöhnlich nur in Verbindung mit der Eingabe individuell zugeordneter Geheiminformationen, den sog. PIN-Nummern möglich ist, die Vielzahl im Einsatz befindlicher Karten mit ihren unterschiedlichen PIN-Nummern aber leicht zu Verwechslungen führt.The invention is therefore based on the object, despite increased security against unauthorized persons Card usage increases the convenience of using value cards of any system in view of the fact that card use is usually only in connection by entering individually assigned secret information, the so-called PIN numbers are possible, the variety of cards in use with their different PIN numbers but easily leads to confusion.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die gattungsgemäße Wertkartenmappe gemäß dem Kennzeichnungsteil des Hauptanspruches ausgelegt ist.This object is achieved in that the generic Prepaid card folder designed according to the labeling part of the main claim is.
Deren Verschluß kann für die Zugänglichkeit zu den im Innern der Mappe enthaltenen Karten und somit zur Kartenentnahme nur von dem Berechtigten geöffnet werden, der eine dafür als Geheimnummer frei vorgebbar einprogrammierte geheime Zeichenfolge kennt und korrekt eingibt. Dann läßt sich der Verschluß lösen und die Mappe öffnen, um die in ihr enthaltenen Karten zugänglich zu machen, also entnehmen zu können. Nur bei korrekter Eingabe der geheimen Zeichenfolge läßt der Verschluß sich also öffnen, und im Innern der nun aufklappbaren Wertkartenmappe werden die Wertkarten zugänglich, die weitgehend rutschfest in ihnen jeweils zugeordneten Steckfächern ruhen. Bezüglich der Karten und ihrer Standorte ist gemäß der Erfindung nun vorgesehen, den einzelnen Wertkarten zugeordnet deren PIN-Nummern für Unautorisierte unzugänglich bereitzuhalten; nämlich nur zur Anzeige zu bringen, wenn die Mappe korrekt - d.h. vom Befugten - geöffnet wurde.Their closure can be used for accessibility to those contained inside the folder Cards and thus for card withdrawal can only be opened by the authorized person, the one knows the secret string that can be freely programmed as a secret number and enter correctly. Then the lock can be released and the folder open to the in to make the contained cards accessible, i.e. to be able to remove them. Only if it is correct Entering the secret string, the shutter can be opened, and inside The prepaid card folder, which can now be opened, opens most of the prepaid cards rest non-slip in the respective compartments assigned to them. Regarding the cards and their locations is now provided according to the invention, the individual prepaid cards assigned to keep their PIN numbers inaccessible for unauthorized persons; namely only to be displayed if the portfolio is correct - i.e. by the authorized person - was opened.
Die Abspeicherung dieser Geheiminformationen erfolgt in einem in die Mappe integrierten elektronischen Register, in das den Positionen der Wertkartentaschen zugeordnet die PIN-Nummern über eine Tastatur eingespeichert werden können. Wenn dann eine Wertkarte aus ihrer Aufnahmetasche herausgezogen wird, spricht ein Sensor darauf an, und für diese Taschenposition wird die örtlich zugehörige, aus dem Speicher aktuell ausgelesene PIN-Nummer vorübergehend anzeigt. Die Anzeige kann unmittelbar an der jeweiligen Stelle der gerade entnommenen Karte erfolgen, technologisch zweckmäßiger jedoch auf einem zentralen Display etwa auf dem den Taschen gegenüberliegenden Innendeckel der Mappe.This secret information is stored in an integrated in the folder electronic register in which the positions of the prepaid card pockets are assigned PIN numbers can be saved using a keyboard. If so, a prepaid card is pulled out of its pocket, a sensor responds to it, and for this pocket position becomes the locally associated one currently read from the memory Displays the PIN number temporarily. The display can be directly on the respective Place of the card just taken out, but more technologically appropriate a central display, for example on the inside cover of the Folder.
Zwecks Zuordnung einer neuen PIN-Nummer zu einer Taschenposition kann eine zum Öffnen der Mappe ohnehin benötigte, also extern zugängliche Tastatur auch zur Speichereingabe benutzt werden.For the purpose of assigning a new PIN number to a pocket position, one for Opening the folder anyway required, i.e. externally accessible keyboard for entering memory to be used.
Denn für die Eingabe der Zeichenfolge zum Öffnen der Mappe kann es sich zwar grundsätzlich auch z.B. um Einstellen eines mechanischen Zahlenschlosses auf die Geheimnummer handeln, bei der sich das Schloß öffnen läßt. Zweckmäßiger da kleinbauender und vielfältiger sicherbar ist aber die bevorzugte Ausstattung der Mappe mit einem elektromechanischen Verschluß, dessen geheime Zeichenfolge für die Freigabe etwa über eine kleine auf dem Vorderdeckel der Mappe außen angeordnete Tastatur eingegeben werden kann. Dann ist in deren Nähe der Betrieb einer optoelektronischen Anzeige zweckmäßig, über die jedenfalls die Anzahl der Eingabevorgänge, gegebenenfalls aber sogar die eingegebene Zeichenfolge direkt angezeigt wird. Für den ersterwähnten Fall würde eine kurze Reihe einzelner Leuchtdioden, oder die Darstellung von Flags in einem einfachen Display, ausreichen. Für die vollständige Informationsdarstellung wäre ein kleines numerisch oder alphanumerisch anzeigendes Segment- oder Mosaikdisplay vorzusehen.Because it is basically possible to enter the string to open the folder also e.g. to set a mechanical combination lock to the secret number act where the lock can be opened. More practical because it is small and However, the preferred configuration of the folder with an electromechanical device can be secured in a variety of ways Closure, its secret string for release about a small keyboard located on the front cover of the folder can be entered. Then the operation of an optoelectronic display is expedient in the vicinity, via the in any case, the number of input processes, but possibly even the input String appears directly. In the first case, there would be a short series single light-emitting diodes, or the display of flags in a simple display, are sufficient. A small would be numeric or alphanumeric for the complete information display display segment or mosaic display.
Sicherer als die externe Möglichkeit, PIN-Nummern einzuspeichern, ist es jedoch, dafür eine im Innern gelegene Tastatur vorzusehen, da eine Nummerneingabe dann nur erfolgen kann, nachdem der Berechtigte selbst die Mappe geöffnet hat. Auch eine Änderung der Geheimnummer zum Öffnen der Mappe sollte dann nur über diese innen gelegene und dadurch gesicherte Tastatur erfolgen können.However, it is safer than the external option of storing PIN numbers to provide an internal keyboard, since a number is then only entered can, after the beneficiary has opened the folder himself. Also a change in The secret number for opening the folder should then only be on the inside and therefore secured keyboard can be done.
Damit eine entnommene Wertkarte dann nicht irrtümlich in eine falsche möglicherweise mehrerer freier Positionen zurückgesteckt wird, können die Aufnahmetaschen mit einer Abbildung der in sie jeweils einzusteckenden Karten belegt oder hinterlegt sein.So that a removed prepaid card may not be erroneously inserted into a wrong one more than one free position, the pockets with one Illustration of the cards to be inserted into them must be occupied or deposited.
Um Mißbrauch noch zuverlässiger zu unterbinden, werden alle im Register enthaltenen PIN-Nummern automatisch irreversibel gelöscht, wenn jemand versuchen sollte, einen der z.B. mit Metallgittern armierten und dadurch zugleich elektrisch geschirmten Deckel der Mappe zu durchschneiden oder den Verschluß der Mappe gewaltsam zu öffnen. Das Löschen aller Daten erfolgt auch schon, wenn mehrmals nacheinander eine unzutreffende Geheimnummer zum Versuch des Öffnens des Verschlusses eingegeben wurde. Nur wenn - selbst nach einem Löschvorgang - der noch unversehrte Verschluß mit der korrekten Geheimnummer, also vom Befugten selbst wieder geöffnet wird, kann dieser (über die äußere oder wie gesagt bevorzugt über eine innere Tastatur), den Stecktaschenpositionen zugeordnet, PIN-Nummern für Wertkarten neu in das Anzeigeregister einspeichern. Um diesen Vorgang zu beschleunigen, kann eine am Register nur bei vorschriftsgemäß geöffneter Mappe apparativ zugängliche bzw. elektrisch freigeschaltete serielle oder parallele Schnittstelle in Form etwa eines genormten elektromechanischen Steckers oder eines Lichtsignalempfängers zum Überspielen der PIN-Nummern aus einem Sicherheitsspeicher, etwa von einer gesondert verwahrten und mittels eines Laptop auslesbaren Sicherungsdiskette eingerichtet sein.In order to prevent abuse even more reliably, all are included in the register PIN numbers are automatically deleted irreversibly when someone tries to use one of the e.g. reinforced with metal grids and thereby electrically shielded lid of the To cut through the folder or to open the folder's closure by force. The deleting All data is already given if an incorrect one is repeated several times PIN number was entered to attempt to open the lock. Only if - even after a deletion - the still intact closure with the correct secret number, If the authorized person opens it himself, he can (via the external or, as I said, preferably via an internal keyboard), assigned to the pocket pocket positions, Store PIN numbers for prepaid cards in the display register again. To this Accelerating the process can only be done at the register if it is opened properly Folder accessible by means of equipment or electrically enabled serial or parallel interface in the form of a standardized electromechanical connector or a light signal receiver to transfer the PIN numbers from a security memory, such as from a separately kept backup diskette that can be read out using a laptop his.
Zusammenfassend ist also in Hinblick darauf, daß mit der Zunahme des Einsatzes von Wertkarten für Geschäftsabläufe des täglichen Lebens die Probleme deren sicherer Verwahrung wie vor allem auch der korrekten PIN-Zuordnung anwachsen, festzustellen, daß diese Probleme erfindungsgemäß durch eine Wertkartenmappe gelöst werden, die nur bei korrekter Eingabe einer Geheiminformation geöffnet werden kann und dann im Innern die zu einer gerade entnommenen Wertkarte abgespeicherte PIN-Nummer vorübergehend anzeigt, so daß der Nutzer sich lediglich noch die Geheimnummer seiner Kartenmappe merken muß. Bei unautorisierten Öffnungsversuchen oder sonstigen mechanischen oder elektrischen Manipulationen an der Mappe können alle eingespeicherten PIN-Nummern gelöscht werden. Nur nach autorisiertem Öffnen der Mappe können - manuell über eine Tastatur oder im Block über eine Schnittstelle - im Speicherregister den Kartensteckpositionen im Innern der Mappe neue PIN-Nummern zugeordnet werden.In summary, it is in view of the fact that with the increase in the use of Value cards for everyday business processes the problems of keeping them safe how above all the correct PIN assignment grow to determine that According to the invention, these problems are solved by a prepaid card wallet that is only available at correct entry of secret information can be opened and then the inside temporarily displays the saved PIN number for a prepaid card, so that the user only has to remember the secret number of his card portfolio got to. In the event of unauthorized opening attempts or other mechanical or electrical attempts Tampering with the folder can delete all stored PIN numbers become. Only after authorized opening of the folder - manually via a keyboard or in a block via an interface - the card slot positions in the memory register new PIN numbers can be assigned inside the folder.
Zur näheren Veranschaulichung der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung ein bevorzugtes Realisierungsbeispiel stark abstrahiert skizziert.To illustrate the invention in more detail, a preferred implementation example is shown in the drawing outlined in a highly abstract manner.
Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt den Blick in das Innere einer aus zwei verschwenkbar
miteinander verbundenen, innenseitig flach kastenförmig eingerahmten Deckeln 11
bestehenden und hier buchförmig aufgeklappten Wertkartenmappe 12. Die eine Innenseite
13 ist mit mehreren Karten-Aufnahmetaschen 14 in Form von vorzugsweise durchsichtigen
Einsteckhüllen für Wertkarten 15 bestückt. Ein Sensor 16 am Taschenboden, etwa eine
Kontaktfeder, spricht an, wenn eine Karte 15 gezogen wird. Der dadurch freigegebene
Kontaktschluß am Sensor 16 bewirkt, daß die dieser Taschenposition zugeordnete
PIN-Nummer aus einem Register 17 aufgerufen und auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung 18 in
Klarschrift dargeboten wird. Sicherheitshalber verlöscht diese Darbietung nach kurzer Zeit
wieder. Zum erneuten Aufruf muß die Karte 15 dann erst wieder ganz in die Aufnahmetasche
14 eingeschoben und erneut gezogen werden.The only figure in the drawing shows the view inside one of two pivots
interconnected
Beispielsweise in die Innenseite 13 des - den Aufnahmetaschen 14 mit ihren Sensoren 16
gegenüberliegenden - Deckels 11 der Mappe 12 sind eine Knopfzellen- oder eine
Flach-Batterie 19 und ein Elektronikmodul 20 mit dem Speicher- und Anzeige-Register 17
sowie eine Schnittstelle 21 für externe Einspeisung eines vorbereiteten Satzes von
PIN-Nummern unter noch frei wählbarer oder schon vorgegebener Positionszuordnung
eingelassen. An den Elektronikmodul 20 ist eine Tastatur 22 zur manuellen Eingabe von
PIN-Nummern - unter Ortszuordnung hinsichtlich der koordinatenmäßigen Lage der einzelnen
Aufnahmetaschen 14 - angeschlossen. Für diese manuelle Eingabe kann zwar
grundsätzlich die zum Öffnen der Mappe 12 ohnehin vorhandene, extern zugängliche Tastatur
herangezogen werden; bevorzugt handelt es sich aber um eine zusätzliche, nur bei
vorschriftsmäßig geöffneter Wertkartenmappe 12 bedienbare Tastatur 22 im Innern der
Mappe 12. Ferner ist an den Elektronikmodul 20 die Anzeigeeinrichtung 18, etwa ein
flachbauendes Flüssigkristalldisplay angeschlossen, um die gerade in das Register 17 eingegebene
beziehungsweise die daraus bei einer Kartenentnahme wieder auslesbare
PIN-Nummer vorübergehend anzuzeigen.For example, in the
Eine wahlfreie Änderung des Geheimcodes zum Öffnen der Mappe 12 ist tunlichst ebenfalls
nur nach autorisiertem Zugang zum Innern der Mappe 12 und dann dort über die innere
Tastatur 22 - und auch das erst nach Aktivieren einer bestimmten, geheimen Tastenkombination
- möglich.An optional change of the secret code to open the
Der in der Zeichnung skizzierte Elektronikmodul 20 bedient auch eine Sabotage-Überwachungsschaltung
23, die anspricht, wenn etwa bei geschlossener Wertkartenmappe 12 die
wiederholte Eingabe falscher Geheimnummern oder sogar mechanische Manipulationen
am Verschluß 24 oder an einer der miteinander in Eingriff stehenden Außenseiten der
Wertkartenmappe 12 festgestellt werden, um dann über einen elektroakustischen Signalgeber
25 ein Notsignal abzustrahlen und oder sicherheitshalber sogleich alle PIN-Nummern
im Register 17 dauerhaft zu löschen.The
Für die Vorgabe einer neuen PIN-Nummer und / oder für deren Anzeige bei Entnahme
einer Wertkarte 15 können also grundsätzlich auch die außen auf der Mappe 12 für das
Öffnen des Verschlusses vorgesehenen Einrichtungen (Tastatur und Anzeige) benutzt werden.
Zuverlässiger und handlicher ist es jedoch, wenigstens eine zweite Anzeigeeinrichtung
vorzusehen, nämlich wie skizziert im Innern der Mappe 12 bei jeder der Stecktaschen 14
für die Wertkarten 15 - oder besser noch eine zentrale Anzeigeeinrichtung 18 für die
PIN-Nummern aller Wertkarten 15 neben deren Aufnahmetaschen 14, und für eventuelle
weitere Aufgaben, auf der gegenüberliegenden Innenseite des Mappendeckels 11.For specifying a new PIN number and / or for displaying it when it is removed
