The hybrid card 1 in this state
Is placed on the tray 11 which is pushed up by the pressing spring 7, so that the ICC contact 1a
It is separated from the CC connector 9.

Next, the CPU 40 supplies a drive signal for rotating the output shaft of the motor 174 of the ICC connection unit 17 at a predetermined number of rotations in the positive direction to the ICC connection unit drive circuit 42. Then, the disk portion 171 is rotated via the gear 175 by the forward rotation of the motor 174 of the ICC connection portion 17, and the rod-shaped screw portion 172 is moved downward with the rotation of the disk portion 171. Contact part 173 is IC
It is brought into contact with the surface of the hybrid card 1 corresponding to the contact 1a of C. Then, even after the contact portion 173 contacts the surface of the hybrid card 1, when the contact portion 173 is further moved downward, the tray 11 is pressed against the pressing force of the pressing spring 7 together with the hybrid card 1.

The activation process is performed on the device 91. Then, the hybrid card 1 in this state is placed on the tray 11 which is pushed up by the pressing force of the pressing spring 7, so that the CCD 19 provided on the tray 11 and the CICC coupling element of the hybrid card 1 are provided. Since the coupling surface of 101 is in close contact with the coupling state, that is, in this case, the inductive coupling regions 192 and 193 of the CCD 19 are

Therefore, in this way, the hybrid card 1 having the ICC contact 1a on one surface, the OMC optical recording area 1b on the other surface, and further having the CICC coupling element 101 inside is held. At the same time, since the CCD 19 for coupling with the CICC coupling element 101 of the hybrid card 1 is provided on the card mounting table 2 for reciprocating the hybrid card 1 in a linear direction, the hybrid card 1 is held on the card mounting table 2.

The module 191 and the electrostatic coupling region 194 are separately connected by a flexible substrate (not shown).

In this case, the same effect as in the fourth embodiment can be expected. In the description of the first to fifth embodiments, the non-contact type IC card is provided with both the coupling coils 1c and 1d and the electrostatic plate 1e. Of these, the electrostatic plate 1e is not always necessary, and there is a non-contact type IC card without the electrostatic plate 1e. Therefore, when a non-contact type IC card having no electrostatic plate 1e is inserted, a signal to that effect is automatically recorded on the card and read at the time of insertion to check whether the electrostatic plate 1e is present. The output may not be output from the electrostatic coupling region 194 by manual operation (such as input from a screen or a keyboard). Further, the coupling coils 1c, 1
A single d is also proposed (at least one coupling coil 1c, 1d is sufficient). In this case, automatically (when a card for checking whether any coupling coil is present) is inserted. The inductive coupling areas 192 and 193 are activated so that only the corresponding one of the inductive coupling areas 192 and 193 is activated by reading information on the card) or manually (such as inputting from a screen or a keyboard).
193 may be controlled.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly access a non-contact type IC card of a composite card combining at least the functions of the non-contact type IC card.

Further, the weight of the card mounting table can be reduced, and the recording / reproducing of information with respect to the contact type IC card and the non-contact type IC card can be stably performed. Furthermore, by separating the flexible board for power supply and the flexible board for signal transmission, mutual interference can be prevented,
