Description

  The present invention protects against unauthorized access from the outside in a card used as a transaction card with a built-in telemeter information transmitter, and prevents data from being leaked and misused. The present invention relates to a card protector that can be prevented.

  Conventionally, many of cash cards and credit cards used in financial relations are magnetic. Recently, skimming has been carried out by illegally occupying these cards, writing the data on other cards, and the original cards have been returned, but malicious crimes that illegally use copy cards have frequently occurred.

  Focusing on the above points, recently, a card having a built-in IC chip or a built-in information transmitter for telemeters has been developed in place of the card as a transaction card described above instead of a magnetic card.

  The former performs signal exchange and power supply by electrical connection, and the latter performs non-contact via an antenna or the like. That is, in the case of a telemeter information transmitter, power supply is not required, and high frequency energy transmitted from the transmitter is received to excite a high frequency starting force in a resonance circuit composed of a coil and a capacitor. This electric power is rectified and stored in a capacitor having a larger capacity to operate an electronic circuit or the like, and data obtained as a result of information processing is wirelessly transmitted to the outside.

  Compared to the conventional magnetic medium, this telemeter information transmission device has a complicated structure such as a radio device and an electronic circuit. Therefore, the information reading method and control method can be applied to a card as a transaction card. However, it was considered impossible to make a counterfeit (copy) because it was much more complicated and difficult than a magnetic card. In addition, when not in use, there is no supply of high frequency power from the outside and it does not operate at all, so it has been considered that no reaction occurs and its presence can be concealed.

However, since a card with a built-in information transmitter for telemeters has been developed at present, a variable frequency high frequency power generator or a personal computer is used for the purpose of knowing its existence and misusing it as before. There is a risk that the card search and internal circuit, stored data, etc. will be analyzed and elucidated, and copied or tampered with.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 36-22343

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that when a card with a built-in telemeter information transmitting device is accessed by unauthorized means, this supplied high frequency is prevented and the telemeter in the card is prevented. There is no means (device, method) for obstructing the operation of the information transmission device.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the card protector according to the present invention is installed in close contact with or in close proximity to a card having a telemeter information transmitter, and is an electromagnetic wave absorber in the form of a sheet or film. Alternatively, it is characterized in that it has one or more electromagnetic wave blocking bodies, is molded of plastic, contains the above described electromagnetic wave absorbing body or electromagnetic wave blocking body inside, and has at least the same vertical and horizontal dimensions as the above-mentioned card It is characterized by being formed.

  The card protector according to the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of irregularities or holes are provided on the surface.

  The card protector according to the present invention is configured as described above. For this reason, all access signals in a situation where the cardholder does not intend to use the card consciously will be blocked, and the telemeter information transmitter will not react at all. The situation in which the response content is analyzed or the data is stolen does not occur.

  Further, according to the invention described in claim 4, even when static electricity or moisture is generated when the card is stored in a pocket, a wallet, a card case or the like together with the card, it can be easily separated and can be taken out. There will be no hindrance.

  This is realized by configuring as in the embodiment shown in the drawings.

  Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a combination of a card protector embodying the present invention and a card incorporating a telemeter information transmitting device, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a case where the card protector is also arranged on both sides of the card. 3 is a partially broken perspective view showing the structure of the card protector, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the use state, FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another use state, and FIG. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the storage state, FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing another example of the card protector, and FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the storage state.

  In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a card that incorporates a telemeter information transmitter and is used as a transaction card, and 2 denotes a card protector. This card protector 2 has substantially the same size and size as the card 1 and can be superposed on one surface of the card 1 without any room.

  The card protector 2 has a plastic casing 2a in the shape of a hollow box, and a sheet-like or film-like electromagnetic wave absorber or electromagnetic wave shielding body 3 having a predetermined size is enclosed in the casing 2a. It is as a configuration. Specifically, the box-shaped plastic casing 2a is formed by coating or laminating plastic on the entire circumferential surface of the electromagnetic wave absorber or electromagnetic wave blocking body 3, and maintains the strength of the electromagnetic wave absorbing body or electromagnetic wave blocking body 3. , Guard from foreign affairs. In addition, a name, an advertisement, and other favorite designs can be printed on the outer surface of the casing 2a.

  The card protector 2 according to the present invention is configured as described above. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, one side of the card 1 and one side of the card protector 2 are closely polymerized, or The card protectors 2 and 2 are placed in close contact with both sides of the card 1 so that the card 1 is sandwiched and polymerized. In this state, the card 1 is stored in a wallet pocket or a pass holder, and carried. .

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a folding wallet 4 that accommodates the polymer of the card 1 and the card protector 2 described above. The folding wallet 4 is connected to a pair of leaves 6 and 6 through a connecting portion 5 so as to be pivotable together. A card pocket, a coin purse, a ticket slot or the like is formed between the leaves 6 and 6 or on the inner surface of the leaf 6.

  FIG. 7 shows the inner surface of the leaf 6 of the folding wallet 4 or a card storage leaf 7 provided separately, and the card 1 and the card protector arranged in the above-described use state in the pockets 8 and 8 formed therein. It is the state which accommodated the polymer of 2.

  In such a storage state, the card protector 2 performs its function, and the telemeter information transmitting device in the card 1 can be operated even if it is close to or close to the power generating device. The reception power is extremely low, and the operation is prevented and the protection is achieved. In this state, the owner can use the card 1 properly. Further, since there is a difference in power intensity required for operation depending on the type of the card 1, it may be necessary to use two card protectors 2, and the card issuer gives instructions. It becomes important.
