Abstract

PURPOSE:To check a card whether storage information is falsified or not and to prevent falsification of the card by disposing resistor elements so that these element can be cut by through holes made to indicate the use frequency. CONSTITUTION:Resistor units 5, 5,... are formed as a resistor layer in the main body 1 of a card and protected from any change such as falsification (by users). These units 5,5 are disposed at the position corresponding to the indication position for certain use frequency. Moreover, the one resistor element 7 of each unit 5 is disposed on the position where a through hole 3 is to be made to indicate the use frequency, so that the resistor element 7 can be cut by the hole 3. When one resistor element is cut by a through hole, the total resistance changes to give some information to the card. Thereby, falsification of storage information is prevented.

Each resistor element 6, 7 is formed of a metal film resistor element or a carbon resistor element used in insulated metal substrate technology, and is designed to be thin. Note that the portions of the resistance layer other than the resistance elements 6 and 7 are made of copper foil.

Furthermore, the resistance values of the two resistance elements 6 and 7 are made different, and the resistance value of the resistance element 7 on the side to be cut by the through hole 3 is made sufficiently lower than the resistance value of the resistance element 6 on the side not to be cut. 3 can be easily obtained as a resistance value, and even if the through hole 3 is filled with some kind of substance, unless it has the same resistance value as the original linear resistance layer. I'm trying to make it easy to identify.

この状態を第3図及び第4図の3個の抵抗層5に例をと

This state will be explained by taking three resistance layers 5 in FIGS. 3 and 4 as an example.

Now, the resistance value of each resistance element 7 on the side to be cut by the through hole 3 is r (Ω), and the resistance value of each resistance element 7 on the side not to be cut is R[
R=10Or(Ω)], the total resistance value ro(Ω) between the terminal portions 4, 4 in a state where they are not cut by the through hole 3 as shown in FIG. 3 is as follows.

ro = (300/101) r3r (Ω) Next, as shown in Fig. 4, when the resistance element 7 of the first resistance layer 5 is cut at the through hole 3, the total resistance value between the terminal parts 4, 4 is r+(Ω) is as follows.

r+ = (100+200/101)rキ102r

(Ω) Thereafter, when the resistive elements 7 of the second and third resistive layers 5 are sequentially cut through the through holes 3, the resistance value increases by about 10or each time. A change in power can be detected by this change in the overall resistance value.

Even if the through hole 3 is filled with an insulating material in the state shown in FIG. 4, rl will not change, so tampering to increase the frequency is impossible.

In addition, if an attempt is made to tamper with the through hole 3 by stuffing a conductor into it, the resistance value r2 between the terminal parts 4 and 4 will be r2 = (0 + 200/ 101) r' = 2 r, and the difference between rl and Since there is a difference of about 10Or between
This makes it easy to determine that the information has been tampered with.

Further, although resistance elements 6 and 7 having different resistance values are used, they may have the same resistance value. However, if the resistance values are made to have a large difference as in the embodiment, the overall resistance value can vary greatly during cutting.
