Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to the field of trading cards in which a user who is a fan purchases or exchanges cards printed with athletes, entertainers, characters, and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, digital storage media of a CD or DVD having a card shape as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-138667 have started to be distributed, but like the conventional 12 cm or 8 cm CD or DVD, a CD has been started. Due to the nature of high-speed rotation when inserted into a drive device, it is necessary to consider the limitations of rotation balance and thickness, and attach an electronic circuit to the digital storage medium to add additional functions such as a contactless IC card function and a light emitting function. Is difficult.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The problem to be solved is that a trading card using a digital storage medium of CD or DVD cannot have additional functions such as a non-contact IC card function and a light emitting function.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the trading card is provided with an additional function such as a non-contact IC card function and a light emitting function. Therefore, the additional function is provided not on a digital storage medium such as a CD or DVD but on a holder for storing the digital storage medium. It is characterized by having a trading card.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An electronic circuit is incorporated in a holder having a standard size of trading card of 63.5 mm x 89.0 mm and a tolerance of ± 2 mm to have a non-contact IC card function and a light emitting function, and a digital storage medium such as a CD or DVD is provided in the holder. This was achieved by making it a different shape that can be stored.

[0006]

【Example】

 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view of FIG. 1 to 3, 1 is a holder, 2 is a digital storage medium, 3 is an IC chip, 4 is a light emitting element, 5 is a battery, and 6 is a switch.

The size of the holder 1 is 63.5 mm × 89.0 mm, which is a standard size of a trading card, and has a tolerance of ± 2 mm. The holder 1 has a digital storage medium such as a CD or DVD. 2 are stored. The digital storage medium 2 stores data such as photographs, voices, characters, and the like of athletes, entertainers, characters, and the like related to the pattern of the trading card. Software that includes a communication protocol for connecting to the communication network, and ID codes and the like necessary to authenticate the connected user are recorded. Preferably, the ID code is a unique ID code including a nationality code, a management code, and the like, which become one in the world.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the holder 1, which is a simple trading card by embedding an IC chip 3 used for a non-contact IC card in a portion other than a space for accommodating the digital storage medium 2. The certain holder 1 can be an IC card having a non-contact IC card function. Here, the place where the IC chip 3 is embedded is other than the storage space of the digital storage medium 2 because the non-contact IC card transmits and receives data using radio waves, and thus is structurally formed by aluminum evaporation or the like. If a circuit of a non-contact IC card composed mainly of the IC chip 3 including an antenna is arranged under the digital storage medium 2 such as a CD or a DVD which requires a reflection layer according to This is because there is a risk of being blocked by the reflective layer of the digital storage medium 2 and failing to exhibit sufficient performance as a non-contact IC card. Of course, as long as the antenna position and the like are not affected and the performance as a non-contact IC card is not affected, the place where the IC chip 3 or the like is embedded is free.

A company that shares the ID code managed by the IC chip 3 and the ID code managed by the digital storage medium 2 as the unique ID code described in FIG. 1, and manages the unique ID code. And the like, form a network with a card company, a bank, a convenience store, an event venue, and the like on a network such as the Internet, and a user having the digital trading card of the present invention can use the digital storage medium 2 to connect to a personal computer or the like. If the user is registered with the unique ID code using the Internet or the like from the Internet, based on this information, the holder 1 which is the digital trading card having the non-contact IC card function can purchase goods and conduct event venues. Can be entered.

FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the holder 1. By incorporating an electronic circuit in which the light emitting element 4, the battery 5, and the switch 6 are combined into the holder 1, the battery 5 is pressed when the switch 6 is pressed. The holder 1 connected to the light emitting element 4 and incorporating the light emitting element 4 can emit light. In FIG. 2, the use of the holder 1, which is a trading card having a non-contact IC card function, is described as entering a venue such as an event, that is, as a substitute for a ticket. This is an alternative to the penlights often used in concert venues.

The trading card using the holder 1 according to the embodiment incorporates both the non-contact IC card function using the IC chip 3 described with reference to FIG. 2 and the light emitting function using the electronic circuit described with reference to FIG. It is free and only one of the functions may be used. Also, electronic circuits other than the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be freely incorporated, and for example, a trading card that emits or vibrates may be used.

The above description has been made on the premise that the trading card is based on the holder 1. However, if the trading card can be inserted into a CD drive device and the rotational balance can be maintained, the CD or DVD digital storage medium 2 can be used. The size of the trading card may be used to mount the IC chip 3 or the light emitting element 4 and an electronic circuit.

However, the CD or DVD digital storage medium 2 is provided with a hole having a diameter of about 15 mm at the center for convenience of mounting and positioning on a CD drive device. Although it is possible to do so, it is necessary to design the trading card so that the two-dimensional pattern of the trading card escapes from the hole, and the design of the trading card becomes less flexible. Therefore, the holder 1 shown in FIG. 3, which is irrelevant to whether a hole is formed in the center of the digital storage medium 2 or not, can be said to be able to print a picture on the entire bottom surface and is excellent as a trading card.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the non-contact IC card of the present invention and the digital trading card having a light-emitting function incorporate electronic circuits into a holder instead of a digital storage medium that requires rotation, such as a CD or DVD. Since there is no particular need to consider the thickness, it is possible to incorporate electronic circuits freely, and to propose a new trading card in which, for example, sound is reproduced or vibrates.
