Description

The present invention relates to a radio wave shielding package for sending a non-contact type IC card, and in particular, falsification of data previously written on the non-contact type IC card at a sending stage by mail or the like of the non-contact type IC card having an IC chip and an antenna. The present invention relates to a radio wave shielding package for sending a non-contact type IC card, which can prevent write-once and additional writing and can easily determine the opening of the non-contact type IC card by a person other than the authorized user while sending the card.

磁 気 Conventionally, magnetic cards have been widely used as telephone cards, credit cards, bank cards, or cards for public transportation such as railways because of their small memory capacity, mainly as user identification cards. However, in recent years, instead of a magnetic card, an IC card has been widely used because a large amount of data can be stored in the card itself and intelligence can be provided. In particular, the non-contact type IC card has been used as a non-contact type IC card "Suica" (registered trademark) issued as a commuter pass or the like by JR companies because of its good usability and operability when used by users. I have.

This non-contact card is a kind of data processing device formed as a card having a built-in IC chip and antenna means, and is in a non-contact state via an electromagnetic wave (radio wave) with an external IC card reading / writing device. Can be transmitted and received.

Since a non-contact type IC card can transmit and receive data to and from a spatially isolated external device, for example, if the card is sent as it is in an envelope or the like, the envelope or the like must be opened at the sending stage. In addition, there is a risk that illegal reading or tampering of internal data, additional writing or destruction of data, or destruction of an internal circuit due to strong electromagnetic wave irradiation may be performed. Also, it is difficult to see that the IC card has been removed from the sending envelope at the sending stage.

Therefore, when sending the non-contact type IC card by mail or the like, the security at the sending stage is ensured, and even if the above-mentioned misconduct is performed at the sending stage, the fact can be seen. Conventionally, various means have been proposed.

For example, for the purpose of discriminating the use or non-use of a non-contact type IC card, a part or the whole is sealed with a packaging material composed of a conductive film, and a part including the antenna coil is a conductive film that can be peeled off. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).

It is also intended to prevent the reading or falsification of data by external electromagnetic waves and the destruction of circuits such as IC chips, and to make it possible to discriminate non-contact type IC cards, which are stored items, with transparency or semi-transparency. A laminate formed by further laminating a heat seal layer made of a thermoplastic resin on a base material made of a polymer material having transparency is overlapped so that the heat seal layers face each other, and heat-sealed between heat seals. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-163,055 discloses a structure in which a sealing portion is formed to form a storage portion for a non-contact type IC card, and a member for blocking electromagnetic waves is provided at least in a portion of the storage portion corresponding to the coupling means. 2).

Further, a non-contact type card is attached to an electromagnetic wave shielding sheet itself or a card mount to which the electromagnetic wave shielding sheet is attached, and the card is sealed in a sending envelope (for example, see Patent Document 3).

However, in the conventional radio wave shielding packaging for sending a non-contact type IC card described above, for example, in the case of the one disclosed in Patent Document 1, a non-contact type packaging material partially or wholly made of a conductive film is used. Since it is necessary to enclose the mold card, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased.

Further, the one disclosed in Patent Document 2 discloses a method in which an unauthorized user reads or falsifies data with an electromagnetic wave from outside in a transport path until the non-contact type card reaches the hand of an authorized user, and a device such as an IC chip. There is a problem that the destruction of the circuit cannot be prevented.

Furthermore, the one disclosed in Patent Document 3 increases the cost of an electromagnetic wave shielding sheet that is also used as a card mount or a card mount to which the electromagnetic wave shielding sheet is attached. There is a problem that the user's intervention may not be detected.
