  In S411, the reading result confirmation program determines whether the fourth digit of the reading result data acquired in S409 is S and the fifteenth digit is E (the reading result data acquired in S409 is the passbook data). It is determined whether or not the read result data acquired in S409 is data obtained by reading the magnetic part 311 of the passbook in the forward direction. In S411, the read result data acquired in S409 is the data obtained by reading the magnetic part 311 of the passbook in the forward direction (the fourth digit of the read result data acquired in S409 is S, 15). If it is determined that the digit is E), the next step S412 may be skipped.

  Next, the read result confirmation program performs a format check process for the inverted data card in S412. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the fourth digit of the read result data acquired in S409 is E and the fifteenth digit is S (the read result data acquired in S409 is in the read data format of the passbook). It is determined whether or not the data of the read result acquired in S409 is data obtained by reading the magnetic part 311 of the bankbook in the reverse direction.

  In S411 or S412, the reading result confirmation program determines whether the reading result data acquired in S409 is determined to be data obtained by reading the magnetic part 311 of the passbook (S413).

  If it is determined that the read result confirmation program is data obtained by reading the magnetic part 311 of the passbook (S413: YES), the process proceeds to S414. On the other hand, if it is determined that the data is not obtained by reading the magnetic part 311 of the bankbook (S413: NO), the process proceeds to S416.

  In S416, the reading result confirmation program outputs an alert having the contents included in the alert screen of FIG. 5C, and returns the process to S402 and S404. Specifically, this alert is transmitted to the application, or the alert is displayed on the screen of the reading result confirmation program. Here, the content of the alert includes the fact that an object that is not the designated reading type has been read, or the fact that magnetic data other than the format defined in the specification has been detected. In addition, the alert here may include reading the magnetic part of the passbook instead of the cash card.

  FIG. 5C is a diagram illustrating an example of the alert screen displayed in S422 or S416.

  In S414, the reading result confirmation program generates “01234456789” in which data between the start code S and the end code E of the passbook are arranged in the forward direction as passbook data. Here, of the generated passbook data, only the data (for example, account number) corresponding to the request data received in S402 can be generated, or the application corresponding to the application name received in S402. Only the necessary data (eg, account number) can be generated. Then, the process proceeds to S415.

  Next, the process of S417-S420 is demonstrated.

  Next, in S417, the reading result confirmation program performs a format check process for the forward direction data card.

  Specifically, in S417, the reading result confirmation program determines that the second digit data of the reading result data acquired in S409 is B, the fifth digit is [DEL] (control code), and the nineteenth digit is [ DEL] (control code) (by determining whether the read result data acquired in S409 matches the read data format of the cash card), the read result acquired in S409 Is the data obtained by reading the magnetic unit 310 of the cash card in the forward direction. In S417, the read result data acquired in S409 is data obtained by reading the magnetic unit 310 of the cash card in the forward direction (the second digit data of the read result data acquired in S409 is B). When it is determined that the fifth digit is [DEL] (control code) and the 19th digit is [DEL] (control code), the processing of the next S418 may be skipped.

  Next, in step S418, the reading result confirmation program performs a format check process for the inverted data card.

  Specifically, it is determined whether the fourth digit of the read result data acquired in S409 is [DEL], the 17th digit is [DEL], and the 20th digit is B (obtained in S409). By determining whether or not the read result data matches the read data format of the cash card), the read result data acquired in S409 can be read in the reverse direction from the magnetic unit 310 of the cash card. Determine if it is data.

  Then, in S417 or S418, the read result confirmation program determines whether or not the read result data acquired in S409 is determined to be data obtained by reading the magnetic unit 310 of the cash card (S419). .

  S413 and S419 are application examples of the determination unit of the present invention, and it is determined whether the read data acquired by the acquisition unit of S409 is the type of data received by the reception unit of S403 or S405.

  If the read result confirmation program determines that the data is obtained by reading the magnetic unit 310 of the cash card (S419: YES), the process proceeds to S420. On the other hand, if it is determined that the data is not obtained by reading the magnetic unit 310 of the cash card (S419: NO), the process proceeds to S416.

  In S416, the reading result confirmation program outputs an alert having the contents included in the alert screen of FIG. 5C, and returns the process to S402 and S404. Specifically, this alert is transmitted to the application, or the alert is displayed on the screen of the reading result confirmation program. Here, the content of the alert includes the fact that an object that is not the designated reading type has been read, or the fact that magnetic data other than the format defined in the specification has been detected. In addition, the alert here may include reading the magnetic part of the cash card instead of the bankbook.

  S416 is an application example of the output means of the present invention, and the determination result by the determination means of S419 or S413 is output. In other words, the output unit determines whether the reading data acquired by the acquisition unit of S409 is not the type of data received by the reception unit of S405 or S403 by the determination unit of S419 or S413. An alert for notifying the user that the type of the reading object read in step S is different from the type received by the receiving unit is output.

  In S420, the reading result confirmation program generates “012345789789” in which data between the start code [DEL] and the end code [DEL] of the cash card are arranged in the positive direction as card data. Here, of the generated card data, only the data corresponding to the request data received in S402 (for example, the expiration date) can be generated, or the application corresponding to the application name received in S402. Only the necessary data (eg, account number) can be generated. Then, the process proceeds to S415.

  In S415, the reading result confirmation program transmits the data generated in S420 or S414 to the application, or displays the generated data on the display unit (S415), and returns the process to S402 or S404.

  S415 is an application example of the output means of the present invention, and it is determined by the determination means of S413 or S419 that the read data acquired by the acquisition means of S409 is the type of data received by the reception means of S405 or S403. If it is, the read data acquired by the S acquisition means is output to the application requesting the read data.

  In S421, the application receives the data transmitted in S415 or the alert transmitted in S416.

  Then, the application displays the data or alert received in S421 (S422).

  The display screen displayed in the alert display processing in S422 is, for example, the alert screen in FIG.

  In addition, the application stores, for example, an account number and account holder information in association with the account number in a storage unit such as a memory of the information processing apparatus 101.

  Therefore, when the data received in S421 is an account number, the application acquires data indicating the account holder stored in the storage unit corresponding to the account number, and displays the account number. 5 (A) is displayed in the display field 503, and the account holder is displayed in the display field 504 in FIG. 5 (A). In this way, the account number is displayed in the display field 503 in FIG. 5A, and the account holder is displayed in the display field 504 in FIG.
