Abstract

PURPOSE:To use an IC card reader / writer from an external part by providing a radio communication part between an interface part, which reads and writes the data of an inserted IC card, and the IC card reader / writer equipped with an external radio communication equipment. CONSTITUTION:When a radio wave signal is received from an IC card reader / writer T to the antenna 31 of an adapter, this signal is demodulated by a radio transmission / reception part 32 and decoded by a decoder circuit 23. When the signal is a read command signal, a read control signal is outputted to an interface 22 so that the data of the IC card can be read. The I/F 22 reads the data of an IC card C according to the reading protocol of the IC card, transfers the data to an encoder circuit 24 and executes encoding. Then, the data are returned form the transmission / reception part 32 through the antenna 31 to the IC card reader / writer T as the radio wave signal. When the received radio wave signal is a write command signal, a write control signal is sent from the decoder circuit 23 to the I/F 22 and according to the writing protocol of the IC card, the data to be sent from the reader / writer continuously to this write command signal are written to the IC card C.
