This IC card can be used when a user registers personal identification information using a living body in the personal identification information registration unit 1 before use. That is, it is a high security IC card system using biometric information. For example, in the personal identification information registration unit 1, a microphone and a voice identification device are arranged in a chip shape. Therefore, this I
When using the C card system, the user blows the identification voice into the microphone of the personal identification information registration unit 1 with his / her own voice. When the signal from the voice identification device matches the registered voice of the user stored in advance, a display indicating that the voice is available is displayed on the display unit 4, and the IC card can be used.

The personal identification information registering section 1 is provided with a fingerprint plate and a fingerprint input device. Therefore, when using this IC card system, the user presses his / her finger on the fingerprint-specific plate of the personal identification information registration unit 1 to input a fingerprint. If the fingerprint matches the registered fingerprint of the user stored in advance,
A display indicating that the card can be used is displayed on the display unit 4, and the card can be used.

Further, an input device for the retina (iris) is arranged in the personal identification information registration unit 1, and when the input retina (iris) matches the pre-stored registered retina (iris) of the user, A display indicating that the card can be used is displayed on the display unit 4, and the card can be used. Also, a DNA input device is arranged in the personal identification information registration unit 1, and when the registered DNA matches the registered DNA of the user stored in advance, the display unit 4 displays an indication that the user can use the card and uses the card. Becomes possible.

As described above, unless the user's own personal identification information is provided to the personal identification information registration section of the IC card, the IC card cannot be used. That is, it is confirmed that the IC card carrier is the person himself / herself and is the person himself / herself at the time of use. In addition, a living body multi-card can be obtained by combining these.

Furthermore, if the personal identification information is registered and the card can be used at any time, the personal identification information can be stolen by another person and the card can be used. Since there is no difference from the case of unauthorized use, in order to prevent this, if the IC card is not used within a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) after registering personal identification information, The identification circuit can be turned off by a timer so as to invalidate the personal identification information registration performed this time. In this case, the personal identification information is registered again, and the IC card is used within a predetermined time.
