JP2001331977A - Card storage medium having radio function - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a card storage medium having a radio function, characterized in that a deformed card storage medium such as a CD, a DVD or the like is provided with a card function, i.e., the composition function of a magnetic card, an IC card or the like to verify the money payment or an owner, and an ID code managed by the deformed storage medium and an ID code managed by the card function are shared. SOLUTION: Both ends of the long sides of a deformed card storage medium such as a CD, a DVD or the like are formed thin, a function as a magnetic card is provided by attaching a magnetic stripe to this part to permit insertion into a reading device such as a card reader or the like, at the same time, no metallic material refection films for processing the deformed storage medium are coated on thin parts of both ends of the long side, and thus no function damages are given to the antenna of a radio communication device loaded on the long side for the purpose of providing a non-contact IC card function.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technology for giving a card function such as a magnetic card or an IC card to a storage medium such as a card type CD or DVD.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a card type CD as a storage medium having a different shape. There are magnetic cards, IC cards, and the like as cards for making payments and confirming owners. There are two types of IC cards: contact type and non-contact type. Further, the card-type CD has the same electronic components as those used in the non-contact type IC card.
Some have a function of a non-contact IC card as shown in FIG.

However, there is no storage medium having a different shape, that is, a card-type CD or the like, which has the functions of a magnetic card and an IC card in combination, and the ID managed by the storage medium having the different shape.
Code and I / O managed by magnetic card or IC card, etc.
There is nothing that can share and use D-codes.

Further, in order to add the functions of the magnetic card and the IC card to a card type CD or the like, it is necessary to solve the following problems. When considered as a magnetic card or a contact IC card, a card-type CD or the like cannot be inserted into a reader such as a card reader because of its thickness. Non-contact IC
When considered as a card, a metal material is coated in a reflective film forming process at the time of manufacturing a CD, thereby impairing the antenna function of wireless communication and impairing the communication function.

[0005]

The problem to be solved is that an odd-shaped storage medium, that is, a card-type CD or the like, has a card function, that is, a magnetic card or an I / O, due to a thickness or structural problem.
This is a point that the function of the C card cannot be combined.

[0006] In the following description, a storage medium such as a card-type CD, that is, a CD or DVD is referred to as a modified storage medium.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention reduces the thickness of a storage medium of a specific shape so that it can be inserted into a reader such as a card reader, and can be used in a reflection film forming step during manufacturing. The most important thing is to limit the range of coating of the metal material so that the shielding effect of the metal material does not impair the wireless communication antenna function and also provide functions such as a non-contact IC card. Features.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention.
1 is a perspective view of an embodiment, in which 1 is an irregularly shaped storage medium, 2 is a space portion, 11 is a first wireless communication device, 12 is a magnetic stripe, and 13 is a metal material reflection film.

[0010] By forming the space portion 2 in which the thickness of both ends of the long side of the odd-shaped storage medium 1 is reduced, the portion where the magnetic stripe 12 is attached can be inserted into a reader such as a card reader so as to form a magnetic card. At the same time, the metal material reflection film 13 is
The first wireless communication device 1
The antenna function of No. 1 was not affected.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the device according to the present invention, in which reference numerals 1, 2, 11 to 13 are the same as those in FIG. 1, and reference numeral 14 denotes a second wireless communication device. is there.

Both ends of the long side of the odd-shaped storage medium 1 are space portions 2 not coated with a metallic material reflection film 13, and the space portion 2 has first and second wireless communication devices 11 and 2, which use different frequency bands. 14 to enable high-speed wireless communication by simultaneous parallel processing, such as, for example, confirming and changing the number of times of ticket use on the other side while performing ID code authentication and the like on one side.

[0013]

As described above, the card-type storage medium with a wireless function of the present invention is used for a terminal device such as a personal computer or a game machine having a drive device such as a CD or DVD which can be connected to a communication network such as the Internet. In addition to this, since it can be used as a card in a conventional card reading device, an ID code managed by a storage medium such as a CD or a DVD and an ID code managed by the card added to the storage medium are unique. By sharing as an ID code, for example, after making a purchase reservation for a product or ticket via the Internet using the terminal device,
By using the storage medium as it is as a card, it is possible to receive goods and confirm entry at a store, an event site, or the like, so that the card is convenient when using e-commerce (electronic commerce).
