Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute an object program without an operator's operation by using an IC card incorporated with an IC chip in which operation procedures are programmed. CONSTITUTION:An IC chip 6 in which operation procedures are programmed is incorporated in an IC card 5. When executing a service, an operator sets the IC card 5 to a reader 4. As a result, the reader 4 transmits a signal to a software 3, by which a service program is operated. Subsequently, when an operator's operation becomes necessary, the software 3 waits for the operation and transmits its fact to the IC chip 6. The IC chip 6 which receives it sends a mecessary command to the software 3 in place of the operator, and the service is continued again. In this way, an object program can be executed without an operator's operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a processing device that is capable of executing a target program without operating an operator by using an IC card incorporating an IC chip in which operating procedures are programmed.

Conventionally, when carrying out work at a terminal, an operator inputs commands and data using a keyboard or the like.

However, in this case, the operator was not only unable to leave his/her terminal while performing his/her duties, but also had to handle complex terminal operations all by himself. Further, the operating procedures for conducting a business are usually limited to only a few types, except in special cases, and the operator has to repeatedly perform the same operating procedures.

In order to solve these shortcomings, this invention uses an IC guard that has a built-in IC chip in which operating procedures are programmed, and allows the required program to be loaded into the processing device by attaching the necessary IC card to the processing device. This is what I did. This invention will be explained below.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a terminal device, 2 is the terminal device 10/ware, and 3 is software. 4 is a reader, 5 is an IC card, and an IC chip 6 in which operating procedures are programmed is built-in. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the IC card 5 is attached to the reader 4.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When an operator performs a job, he sets an IC card 5 corresponding to the job in the reader 4.

This causes the reader 4 to send a signal to the software 3,
This allows the business program to operate.

When the software 3 requires an operator operation (inputting a command, etc.), it waits for the operation and notifies the IC chip 6 to that effect. When the IC chip 6 receives signals from the software 3, it sends necessary commands to the software 3 according to the program instead of the conventional operation, and the business is resumed. This procedure is repeated thereafter, and the task is completed. IC cards 5 are prepared for business purposes,
Moreover, since it is a card, it can be easily carried.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the operation of the IC card 5 for information retrieval work. Terminal device 1° reader 4. 2 shows transmission of signals between the IC card 5 and the IC card 5. 5' is a command storage area in which the first command, second command, . . . , final command are stored.

Now, in communication with the information center 1o, the terminal device 1
When commands and parameters need to be sent, the IC
Send a command request to card 5.

In the IC card 5, commands and parameters to be input in business are stored in order, and are sent one by one to the terminal each time a command is requested. As a result, the operator can carry out his work simply by inserting the IC card 5.

Furthermore, since there is a central processing unit (CPU) in the IC card 5, some internal processing (semi-normal) may occur.

(including recovery in the event of an abnormality), and in this respect, it is possible to store and store the transmitted data.
This is different from media such as a double disk (FD). Also, 1
By boogramming the day's work, unattended work is also possible.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the program is a game.

Conventionally, in this type of game, ROM, FD, etc. have been used as program storage media. RO the program
For game devices installed in M, the contents of the ROM can be
Because it can be easily read by a person, a similar program format (created) is also used.Also, ROM is built into a game device and can be easily read by a single game device.
I couldn't play the game.

Furthermore, when using an FD, many games can be played with one device, but since programs written on the FDK can be easily read, it has the disadvantage that similar products can be created by third parties.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks. 4' is a microcomputer game machine, 4A is a card reader, 4B is a card interface, 4C is a basic program for microcomputer games, 5 is an IC card, and 5A is a microcomputer game machine. The microcomputer game machine 4
5B is a program protection module that prohibits or restricts reading of the program stored in the memory of the IC card 5, and 5C is a program storage memory that stores the program.

The microcomputer game machine 4' has a basic program 4c, which can perform only basic functions common to all games. Therefore, the IC card 5 has seven pre-quection sections specific to each game.

When running a game, the operator is an IC that supports the game.
One person reads the card 5 from the card reading section 4All'ctII.

I C: h F 5 ]7' The q-gram is stored in the program storage memory 5c, and the microcomputer game machine 4' and the program storage memory 5C run together to execute the game. interface module 5A,
The program protection module 5B performs communication between the microcomputer game machine 4' and the IC card 5, and protects the programs.

That is, the program protection module 5B transfers the processing results of the program in the IC card 5 to the microcomputer game machine 4'.
The program protection module 5B may be provided with a key function, and reading from a device that opens the key may be permitted.

Further, the method of realizing the program reading prohibition function and the key function for program reading of the program protection module 5B is as follows. All memory reading commands from the microcomputer game machine 4' are received by the card interlace 4B and sent to the memory reading CPU (
(not shown). Here, if the interface module 5A is designed so that the command to read the program in the memory cannot be executed, the program will not be output to the outside of the card.

In addition, in order to provide a key function for program reading, the program protection module 5B must be provided only when the device sends a read command and a key signal (complex PIN number, fingerprint, voice print, etc.) to the interface module 5A. The structure is such that the CPU executes the program read command.

In this way, various games can be played by changing the IC card 5, and programs can be prevented from being read out indiscriminately.

As explained in detail above, this invention has an operating procedure program built into the IC chip in the IC card.
(1) With Operator, there is no need to perform operations such as inputting commands when performing tasks. (2) Therefore, there is no need for the operator to be near the terminal device when performing work. (3) Furthermore, since it is an IC card, it is easy to carry and can be used on many terminals with one IC card. There are many advantages such as it is easy to prevent boograms from being read indiscriminately.
