Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Correction) [Purpose] Each user saves the trouble of initializing the purchased IC memory card 2 in order to match the equipment with which he has a card. [Structure] An IC memory card 2 as an information storage medium used in a personal computer, a word processor or the like is initialized in advance so as to correspond to each card-using device.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an IC memory card corresponding to each IC memory card using machine.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As is well known, an IC memory card is used as an information storage medium. That is, IC memory cards are used as information storage media in office automation equipment such as personal computers and word processors, FA equipment used in each factory, and the like.

However, conventionally, the IC memory card has not been formatted (initialized) in advance at the shipping stage for each IC memory card using machine. That is, the final user had purchased an uninitialized IC memory card.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 According to the above conventional technique, there are some problems in the following points. That is, one is that the above IC memory card has not been initialized in each IC memory card using machine, so when the end user purchases it, the IC memory card of OA equipment, FA equipment, etc. owned by each user The IC memory card had to be initialized according to the model used, and the work was troublesome.

Further, each user may own a plurality of different IC memory card using machines, and when an uninitialized IC memory card is purchased and it is about to be initialized, which IC There was a problem that I was wondering which IC memory card model should be used to initialize the memory card.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to save the user the trouble of initializing the IC memory card purchased by each user according to the model of the IC memory card used by each user, and When using different types of IC memory card using different IC memory cards, you do not have to worry about which IC memory card corresponds to which IC memory card using model and how to initialize it. It is to provide a technology capable of handling a memory card.

[0007]

[Means for solving the problem]

 In order to solve the above object, the present invention has the following technical means. That is, to explain with reference to the reference numerals in the accompanying drawings corresponding to the embodiments, the present invention is an IC memory card 2 as an information storage medium for use in personal computers, word processors, etc. and for storing information. The IC memory card 2 is an IC memory card corresponding to each IC memory card user machine, which is initialized in advance corresponding to each IC memory card user machine.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, since the IC memory card 2 is initialized in each IC memory card user machine in advance, when each user purchases the IC memory card 2, the IC memory card owned by each user It is not necessary to initialize the IC memory card 2 according to the model used, and when each user has a plurality of IC memory card using machines different from each other, which IC memory card 2 is used and which IC memory card is used Does it need to be initialized according to the model being used? There is no need to hesitate to perform initialization, and it can be used easily.

[0009]

【Example】

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Usually, initialization means such as the personal computer 1 is prepared. Then, an IC memory card reader / writer 3, which is a device for reading and writing, is connected to the uninitialized IC memory card 2 used in the personal computer 1. Further, an initialization software 4 in which a program for initializing the uninitialized IC memory card 2 inserted in the IC memory card reader / writer 3 connected to the personal computer 1 is prepared is prepared. .

The initialization software 4 is, for example, a program for initializing each uninitialized IC memory card 2 corresponding to each IC memory card using machine so that each IC memory card using machine can use it. It is recorded on a floppy disk. Further, if there are different types of IC memory card using machines, the uninitialized IC memory card 2 that is not initialized corresponding to the respective types of IC memory card using machines is prepared.

Next, an initialization process of the IC memory card 2 having the above configuration will be described. First, an uninitialized IC memory card 2 of a type compatible with an IC memory card using machine is prepared. On the other hand, the personal computer 1 is made to read the initialization software 4. Then, the uninitialized IC memory card 2 is inserted into the IC memory card reader / writer 3, and the initialization command of the initialization software 4 read by the personal computer 1 is transferred to the IC memory card reader / writer 3 via the personal computer 1. Then, the IC memory card reader / writer 3 initializes the uninitialized IC memory card 2.

Of course, the above-mentioned initialization work is such that the uninitialized IC memory card 2 prepared corresponding to each IC memory card using machine is suitable for use in each IC memory card using machine. Is selected so that initialization is performed. Specifically, one floppy disk has a plurality of initialization programs recorded for each IC memory card model. It is possible to select the one suitable for the IC memory card 2 to be initialized, or record the initialization program corresponding to the model using each IC memory card on multiple floppy disks. Alternatively, a floppy disk on which an initialization program suitable for the IC memory card 2 to be initialized is recorded may be selected.

In this way, the IC memory card 2 initialized in advance for each IC memory card using machine is obtained. Then, the end user purchases the initialized IC memory card 2 corresponding to the owning IC memory card using machine.

As described above, since the IC memory card 2 is pre-initialized in each IC memory card using machine at the shipping stage, the end user can initialize the corresponding IC memory card using machine. It suffices to purchase the prepared IC memory card 2, and it is not necessary to initialize the IC memory card 2 itself.

[0015]

【effect】

 As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the IC memory card is initialized in each IC memory card using machine, so that when each user purchases the IC memory card, the IC memory owned by each user It is not necessary to initialize the IC memory card according to the model used, and it is possible to omit the initialization work of the IC memory card.
