BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card which can be commonly used by a plurality of facilities having different purposes and which has a function of designating the usable facilities in accordance with the user of the card. . In the drawings below, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a common ID card (usually a normal ID card in which a user's ID code is written in a plurality of facilities provided in a company for different purposes, such as a dining room, a telephone, a bank deposit / withdrawal terminal, etc. Is being made available by using a magnetic card).

[0003]

However, there is a facility in the company, such as a dormitory, in which only a specific person is allowed to enter or leave the room, and there is a demand for the card to be used to enter or exit the room. However, as long as the ID card as described above is an employee of the company, it does not particularly limit the user, so a different card may be created for the use of the facility where the user is desired to be limited as described above. However, this requires duplicate investment in the card system, and the actual handling of the card becomes complicated.

Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to use a plurality of facilities having different purposes on a common card system,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a card with a facility restriction function that allows facility restrictions according to users.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the card according to claim 1 has at least ID data (ID code 100 etc.) for identifying the user of the card and a plurality of objects having different purposes. Of each facility of each facility for designating the availability of use to the user (facility designation flag 2
01-204, etc.) is written.

According to a second aspect, only when the card according to the first aspect is inserted into a card terminal device (a card reader / writer 2 such as 01) of a facility designated to be usable by the flag, The card terminal enables the facility to be used by the card (via the facility availability determination unit 5A or the like). Further, in claim 3, the card according to claim 1 or claim 2 is a magnetic card (1 or the like).

[0007]

[Function] An area for designating and storing the facility to be used is provided on the ID card format, and the breakdown is, for example, a dining room, a telephone, a bank terminal, a dormitory (entry / leaving room), etc., and the card is only for this designated facility. Make it available.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the essential parts of a card system as an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a magnetic card as an ID card, 100 is an ID code written in the card 1, and 200 is a facility designation flag. Reference numeral 01 is a card terminal provided for each facility. 2 is a card reader / writer belonging to this card terminal 01, 3 is also a memory, 4 is a judgment lamp,
Reference numeral 5 is an arithmetic unit also including a CPU and the like.
It has the role of controlling 1. Reference numeral 5A is the facility availability determining means as a main partial functional part of the arithmetic unit 5 relating to the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows the structure of the main part of the magnetic card 1.
Reference numeral 10 is a magnetic area, 100 is the above-mentioned ID code written in this area 10, and 200 (201 to 204) is the above-mentioned facility designation flag. In this example, 201 is a cafeteria flag that enables the use of a cafeteria, 202 is a telephone flag that enables the use of a telephone, 203 is a bank flag that enables the use of a bank deposit / withdrawal terminal, and 204 is a dormitory available. It is assumed that this is the entry / exit flag. The card 1 is issued to the user after the data in the magnetic area 10 has been written in advance according to the type, request, etc. of the user.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing a main part operation (of the facility availability determining means 5A) of the card terminal 01 of FIG. That is, when the magnetic card 1 is inserted into the card reader / writer 2, the ID code 100 in the magnetic area 10 and the facility designation flag 2 from the card reader / writer 2 are inserted.
The contents of 00 are read out and sent to the arithmetic unit 5. The arithmetic unit 5 determines whether the individual flags in the flag 200, that is, the cafeteria flag 201, the telephone flag 202, the bank flag 203, and the entry / exit flag 204 are present, respectively, and there is a flag that can use the facility. If so, the availability judgment lamp 4 is turned on so that the facility can be used. The result of this use is stored in the memory 3 or the like, and when a facility requiring settlement is used, the amount of the use will be deducted from the salary of the user at a later date.
