Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an information recording card sharing method for jointly using information recording cards that are used separately by multiple groups such as mutually affiliated companies and retail stores, and the sharing method. The present invention relates to a reader/writer device used for.

0002

[Prior Art] Information recording cards formed with the same specifications and recorded with data, such as prepaid card systems issued by third parties, are generally used by multiple groups that are not affiliated with each other. There is. In such a case, it was necessary to prohibit the use of information recording cards of other groups in order to prevent troubles regarding payments and the like. Conventionally, the group ID data of the group using the information recording card is recorded on the information recording card, and as shown in FIG. An identification section 11 is provided, and the ID identification section 11 collates the group ID data recorded on the information recording card, and when the two do not match, the information recording card is ejected without performing data processing.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] As the demand for information recording cards increases, there is a demand for information recording cards that can be used jointly by multiple groups. If there is a change in the composition of the group, the above-described conventional reader/writer device 10 cannot cope with the change, which hinders the sharing of information recording cards.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, facilitates the sharing of information recording cards by a plurality of groups, and provides a reader/writer device for realizing the sharing of information recording cards. purpose.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an information recording card formed with the same specifications and used in a plurality of groups on which data is recorded, and a reader/writer device for the information recording card. The information recording card records information data according to the purpose of use and group ID data for identifying the group to be used, and the reader/writer device processes the information data read from the information recording card. The controller includes a data processing section and a control section that inspects a group of inserted information recording cards and controls the data processing section, and the control section has a shared table storing group ID data of registered groups and an information recording card. Group I read from card
an ID identification section that compares the D data with the group ID data stored in the shared table; and an ID identification section that checks the group ID data stored in the shared table; The present invention is characterized in that it includes a processing control section that causes the data processing section to perform data processing.

[0006] The invention as set forth in item 2 also provides a reader for reading and writing recorded data on an information recording card on which information data according to the purpose of use and group ID data for identifying the group to be used are recorded. In the writer device,
The control unit includes a data processing unit that processes information data read from the information recording card, and a control unit that inspects the group of the inserted information recording card, and the control unit includes a shared table that stores group ID data of the registered groups. and the group ID data read from the information recording card and the group ID stored in the above shared table.
an ID identification unit that compares data with the data; and a processing control unit that causes the data processing unit to process data only when the group ID data read from the information recording card is included in the group ID data stored in the shared table. It is characterized by having the following.

[0007]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a reader/writer device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the reader/writer device 1 of this embodiment includes a data read/write section 2 that reads and writes data recorded on an information recording card 9, and a data processing section that processes the read data read by the data read/write section 2. 3 and a control section 4 that inspects the group using the information recording card 9 inserted into the reader/writer device 1 based on the read data of the data read/write section 2 and controls the operation of the data processing section 3. Become.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the information recording card 9 includes information data 91 (money data, remaining balance data, etc.) according to the purpose of use, and group ID data 90 for identifying the group to be used. It has been recorded. In addition,
The information recording format of the information recording card 9 is not limited to a specific format, and may be magnetic recording or optical recording. Alternatively, an IC card may be used. The data reading/writing section 2 uses a magnetic head, an optical pickup device, etc. in accordance with the recording format of the information recording card 9.

The control unit 4 includes a buffer memory 5 that receives and records group ID data 90 from among the data read from the information recording card 9 by the data read/write unit 2.
, a shared table 6 storing group ID data of groups registered as groups that can use the reader/writer device 1 (hereinafter referred to as "registered groups"), group ID data 90 of read data, and group ID data of the shared table 6. The data processing unit 3 includes an ID identification unit 7 that collates the ID identification unit 7 and a processing control unit 8 that controls the operation of the data processing unit 3 based on the verification result of the ID identification unit 7. Also, common table 6
A writing means 6a such as a keyboard may be connected to write the group ID data of the registered group from the outside.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When the user inserts the information recording card 9 into the reader/writer device 1, the data reading/writing section 2 of the reader/writer device 1 reads the information data 91 and group ID data 90 of the information recording card 9. Then, the information data 91 is sent to the data processing section 3, and the group ID data 90 is sent to the control section 4.
The data is sent to the buffer memory 5 of.

Buffer memory 5 stores group ID data 9
0, the ID identification section 7 reads the group ID data of the registered group from the common table 6, collates it with the group ID data 90 of the information recording card 9 stored in the buffer memory 5, and sends the result to the processing control section 8. . At this time, if group ID data that matches the group ID data 90 of the information recording card 9 is stored in the common table 6, it is known that the group using the information recording card 9 is a registered group. On the other hand, when group ID data that matches the group ID data 90 of the information recording card 9 is not stored in the shared table 6, the group using the information recording card 9 is not a registered group.

Based on the verification result of the ID identification section 7, the processing control section 8 causes the data processing section 3 to perform data processing when the group using the information recording card 9 is a registered group. When the group using the information recording card 9 is not a registered group, the information recording card 9 is ejected without causing the data processing section 3 to process the data.

Note that if the writing means 6a is connected to the common table 6, the group I stored in the common table 6 can be
It becomes easy to rewrite the D data, and it is possible to quickly respond to changes or additions to registered groups.

[0014]

As explained above, the present invention records group ID data on an information recording card, and allows the reader/writer device to determine whether the group using the information recording card is a registered group based on the group ID data. By providing a control section that checks whether the data processing section is present or not and controls the data processing section, there is an effect that the information recording card can be easily shared by a plurality of groups.
