Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information recording card, and more particularly, to an information recording card that can easily handle and secure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An information recording card is a card-like thin plate member provided with a magnetic recording section and an IC recording section. The recording section is read by a reader, and personal identification, shopping, card loan transactions, expiration dates, Used for dealing with accident information. In the case of an information recording card of the registration system, in the case of loss or theft, the handling restriction can be registered in the transaction system to ensure the safety of the handling.

[0003]

However, even if the accident card is restricted, the card must be read by a dedicated reader. Unless an online inquiry is made, the handling restrictions cannot be determined. The same applies to shopping transactions with a fixed amount or less that do not require prior approval from a card company or the like. In addition, due to the problem of time required to obtain the result of data inquiry and the wisdom of customers, it is especially important to refer to the data every time the payment is settled, especially in the case of temporary part-time clerk handling. It is not realistic to satisfy all because of lack of knowledge, sense of responsibility, etc. In addition, those who intend to abuse are often aimed at nighttime when the number of employees or the like is small, or during busy hours when there are many customers, particularly when no credit inquiry terminal is provided. If a dedicated credit reference terminal is not provided, it is possible to directly refer to the handling restriction by telephone or the like, but this is more inconvenient than using a credit reference terminal.

[0004] As described above, the determination of the card handling restriction requires online inquiry or telephone inquiry using a dedicated credit inquiry terminal every time a shopping transaction is performed. They are unable to take advantage of the benefits and are also targets for exploitation. An object of the present invention is to provide an information recording card that can easily and immediately determine a handling restriction due to an accident such as loss or theft.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an information recording card having a substantially rectangular card-like thin plate member provided with a recording section made of a magnetic material or the like for reading recorded contents by a dedicated reader is provided. In the card-shaped thin plate member, a receiving unit that outputs a coincidence signal when a certain radio transmission wave is received, and a display unit that changes a display in accordance with the coincidence signal of the receiving unit are embedded and information is embedded. A recording card was formed.

The information recording card outputs a coincidence signal when the receiving unit receives a certain radio transmission wave, and the display unit changes the display content in accordance with the output. Can be displayed on the target card almost at the same time as sending. Since any change in the display of the display unit can be visually identified by anyone, it is possible to determine the accident card without the need for online inquiry or telephone inquiry, so that it is possible to take immediate measures, In addition, since unauthorized use can be prevented, it is possible to ensure the handling safety of the information recording card.

The receiving section includes a small chip-shaped dielectric antenna, a demodulation section for demodulating a radio transmission wave received by the dielectric antenna, and a register capable of reading identification data in advance with the demodulated signal. By comparing the data of the registration unit with the comparison unit that outputs a coincidence signal when both are the same, the reception unit demodulates the signal of the radio transmission wave received by the small dielectric antenna. Since the display unit changes the display content by comparing the demodulated signal with the data of the registration unit and outputting the coincidence signal by the comparison unit, the antenna can be formed in a thin plate shape without projecting from the card. In addition, the use of a card reader such as an automatic teller machine at a financial institution or a credit reference terminal can be performed without any trouble in carrying the card.

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the structure of an information recording card according to the present invention. The information recording card 1 comprises a substantially rectangular card-shaped thin plate member 3 provided with a recording unit 2 made of magnetism or IC, and further comprises a thin plate-shaped receiving unit 4 and display unit 5 formed of a thin plate member 3. Embed on top and configure.

The recording unit 2 records a membership number or the like by magnetism or the like in advance so that it can be read by a dedicated card reader. The registration number of the recording unit 2 serves as an identification key for a payment settlement process or the like. When the recording unit 2 is configured by an IC, the contents of transactions and the like are recorded and updated as needed by a reader / writer.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the information recording card of FIG. The receiving unit 4 includes a small chip-shaped dielectric antenna 11, a demodulation unit 12 for demodulating a radio transmission wave received by the dielectric antenna 11, a demodulated signal from the demodulation unit 12, and identification data such as a member number. And a comparing unit 14 that outputs a coincidence signal when the data of the registration unit 13 and the demodulated signal are compared and matched.
Are integrated.

Since the dielectric antenna 11 has a small chip shape and can be formed in a thin plate shape without protruding from the thin plate member 3, it does not hinder the carrying of the card. Make it possible.

The display unit 5 changes colors in an irreversible manner upon receiving a signal, or a general display member for displaying a symbol or a character indicating a warning, for example, a litmus or the like that is sealed with a charge denaturing material. Those using a coloring agent, a coloring material by oxidation or other reaction, a polarizing glass, or a coloring magnetic powder can be used. If necessary, a silver oxide battery, a lithium ion battery, a flexible thin polymer battery or the like is embedded in a card to constitute a power supply unit, and a liquid crystal or the like can be used for a display unit.

The wireless transmission means for the information recording card 1 is formed by using a wireless communication network such as a mobile phone or a communication network equivalent thereto, or by using a communication satellite or the like, so that the card can be located anywhere on the earth. The transmission wave can be received, and the wireless transmission can be performed at any place on the earth. Calls can also be sent from places other than the country where the card company is located. In this case, transmission and reception can be performed by wireless or the Internet during that time.
When a wireless communication network of a mobile phone is used, identification information is configured by combining additional code information in addition to the call code of the mobile phone in order to cover the amount of identification information of the information recording card. Alternatively, transmission / reception of information dedicated to the present case can be added to the current communication network.

In the information recording card 1 having the above configuration, when a radio transmission wave is received via the dielectric antenna 11 of the reception unit 4, the demodulation unit 12 demodulates the reception wave. Is compared by the comparing unit 14, and when they match, a match signal is output to the display unit 5, so that the display unit 5 is switched to the abnormal display.

Therefore, by wirelessly transmitting the member number in response to the accident report, an abnormality is displayed on the corresponding accident card, and through this change in the display, the accident information can be visually identified as an abnormality on the card. Because it is possible, it is possible to determine the abnormality of the card at the time of the transaction at the store, without the need for online inquiry of the data or telephone inquiry, and who can look at anytime, anywhere.
Rapid response measures are possible, and handling safety can be ensured.

With the effects of the present invention, it is possible to avoid inconveniences in system operation as in the prior art. For example, if you take restrictive measures for accident cards, if you do not have a dedicated credit reference terminal, if you do not make online inquiries of data, or if you do not require prior approval from a card company etc. Even in such cases, the handling restrictions can be determined, and in particular, it is possible to solve a problem in handling a card caused by a lack of interest, knowledge, and sense of responsibility of a temporary part-time clerk.

[0017] Further, it is possible to prevent nighttime when the number of employees and the like is small, busy hours when there are many customers, and abuse when a credit reference terminal is not provided. Since no data inquiry is required, it is possible to improve a time problem until a result of the data inquiry is obtained and a feeling for a customer.

[0018]

According to the information recording card of the present invention, when the receiving section receives a certain radio transmission wave, it outputs a coincidence signal, and the display section changes the display content according to the output. The change in the display on the display can be visually identified, and the accident card can be identified without the need for an online inquiry or telephone inquiry, so that immediate measures can be taken and illegal use can be prevented. Therefore, the security of handling by the information recording card can be ensured.

The receiving section includes a small chip-shaped dielectric antenna, a demodulation section for demodulating a radio transmission wave received by the dielectric antenna, and a registration section for reading identification data in advance with the demodulated signal. By comparing the data of the registration unit with the comparison unit that outputs a coincidence signal when both are the same, the reception unit demodulates the signal of the radio transmission wave received by the small dielectric antenna. Since the display unit changes the display content by comparing the demodulated signal with the data of the registration unit and outputting the coincidence signal by the comparison unit, the antenna can be formed in a thin plate shape without the antenna protruding from the card. Thus, the use of the card reader can be performed without any trouble in carrying the card.
