2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, multimedia, which interactively provides a plurality of information media such as images, sounds, characters, etc. as new information by making full use of a computer, has been developed on a global scale and its backbone network has been improved. Came. Especially in Japan, the Internet is accelerating the diffusion not only to companies but also to general households, and information is being digitized. The core of multimedia is a computer such as a personal computer, but not only the exchange of data between computers but also the PDA (P
personal Digital Assistants
A form using a device such as a portable information terminal) has also become popular, and the barrier between the devices has been removed, and video, audio, and characters have become one. In order to support the evolution of personal computers, mobile communication devices, network devices, and consumer devices and make them even easier to use, digitization technology (MPEG decoder / encoder, AT
(Eg, M-LAN LSI), communication MMIC, low-voltage flash memory, etc. are being developed at a rapid pace.

With the progress of multimedia on a global scale and the advance of information technology, cards have come to be widely used for approval by cards, authentication of individuals, supply of various contents, and the like. The IC card is a medium that replaces the magnetic card, and is a generic name for business card-sized cards that incorporate ICs such as a microcomputer and memory, and is widely used as an ID card. It has features such as high security and large memory capacity. Some cards themselves have a cryptographic function. In addition, equipped with a microcomputer, the calculation function,
A card having a judgment function is also called a microcomputer card. A multi-function card that adds a display function, a manual input function, a function that also functions as a magnetic card, etc. to the functions of the microcomputer card has recently appeared. Recently, signals are exchanged and power is supplied without contacting the card terminal. Various types of contactless cards are available.

On the other hand, for various purposes, a PC card (Pers) that is used by removing it from a computer is used.
(onal computer card) is an IC memory card (flash memory, DRAM, SRAM, etc.) equipped with a large-capacity memory due to the increase in the capacity and cost of semiconductor memory and the integration of various I / O functions.
And I / O card (serial communication, parallel communication, etc.)
Has been developed and commercialized. Also, an SD card (Secure Digital card) that complies with the dedicated standard
Has come to be used for PDAs equipped with SD card slots.

The contactless IC tag mounted card, which has been mainly developed for industrial use as a physical distribution management card, a book management card, etc., is also applied to an entrance / exit management card, a parking lot entrance / exit management card, and the like. .

As described above, with the progress of multimedia and information technology, various cards have come to be used according to their purpose, and more recently, in order to perform a desired function, There has been proposed a function card in which a card is provided with a predetermined function part. For example, the applicant of the present application has proposed and developed a functional card or the like having a sensor for reading a personal characteristic feature such as a fingerprint and an authentication data acquisition function.

Under these circumstances, the intensity of ultraviolet rays, the intensity of infrared rays, the amount of various gases, vibrations such as earthquakes, sound, temperature, humidity,
There has been a demand for a method that can easily obtain a desired amount such as an ion concentration, a flow rate, and a pollen amount and can use such information. For example, in recent years, along with environmental changes, there has been an increasing demand for acquisition of information on the intensity of ultraviolet rays at the individual level from the viewpoint of beauty and health, or from the viewpoint of growing agricultural products. Ultraviolet rays (100-400 nm) have positive aspects such as use for sterilization and production of vitamin D in the human body, but may cause skin cancer or cataracts,
It is known to have negative aspects such as adversely affecting the growth of agricultural products. In the ultraviolet, wavelength 280nm ~
B ultraviolet light, which is ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 320 nm, is generally called “harmful ultraviolet light” because it is harmful to living organisms. In addition, 100 to 280 nm ultraviolet rays are C ultraviolet rays, 28
UV of 0 to 320 nm is B UV, 320 to 400 n
m is called A ultraviolet ray. Even on the windshield of a car, whether or not UV protection measures have been taken, or whether A UV and B
With ultraviolet rays, the transmittance varies greatly. It is said that the intensity of ultraviolet rays changes variously depending on the season, weather, time zone, altitude, etc. In particular, in high latitude areas, the increase in the ozone hole due to the destruction of the ozone layer has become a problem in recent years. Then, there has been a demand for development of a device for easily measuring the ultraviolet intensity and a data utilization system capable of utilizing the measurement data of the ultraviolet intensity. Many UV intensity measuring devices are portable, but there are problems in size and weight for carrying them at the daily life level. Most of the conventional ultraviolet ray measuring devices are pocket-sized (for example, a digital ultraviolet intensity meter made by Shiro Sangyo Co., Ltd., W70 x H131 x D20 mm), and can be carried around, but large enough to be carried on a daily life level. I have to say. There is also a small and lightweight card type (telephone card size), but these are only temporary data measurements, or the measured data is not a method that can be easily loaded into a computer. The processing content of was fixed and could only be used for a specific purpose. In other words, the problem with these devices that measure the intensity of ultraviolet light is that they are not small and lightweight and are not suitable for being carried, or even if they are of a portable type, the processing contents of the measured data are for specific applications and can meet various needs. There was a problem of lacking in flexibility. Small handy type products include UV checkers made by Tanita Co., Ltd., UV-mira (UV-mira),
There is a telephone card size product (Sun check UV measurement card manufactured by Advance Craft Design Co., Ltd.), but since the measured results are not converted into electronic data, they can be easily processed by an external computer or the processed results can be used. I couldn't do that. That is, since it was not in a form that could be easily connected to a computer, it took time and effort to input the measurement data again in order to use the measurement data.
It was not suitable for storing a large amount of data, and it was not possible to make a countermeasure using the stored data. Also, because it is not directly connected to the Internet, using the analysis function installed in another system,
It was not possible to immediately bring out countermeasures on the spot. There are also products such as Konami's UV teddy that further process the measurement data and return the result to the user. However, as the data processing, the processing for the specific purpose built in the device main body is performed. It could not be used for various purposes. That is, the measuring machine is connected to other equipment,
In particular, there has never been a system that can easily connect to the Internet, which enables various uses. In this way, it is possible to measure ultraviolet light easily anytime, anywhere, and there is no system to inform the user easily the measures according to various purposes based on the measurement data. It was not enough. In addition, as a database system of ultraviolet intensity measurement data, there was a database in which a specific person (corporation) measured the ultraviolet intensity in a specific area, such as Shonan Institute of Technology in Kanagawa Prefecture and Shiseido Co., Ltd. However, there is a problem that the data contents are unevenly distributed and insufficient for multipurpose use because the place is limited or the number is small.
