Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a personal identification card (1den'tifiaati).
on aara (hereinafter referred to as ID card), in particular,
The present invention relates to an improvement of an active ID card equipped with an oscillator for emitting energy waves and a power source for driving the oscillator.

[Prior art]

ID cards are generally used to control traffic at doors leading in and out of nuclear power plants, computer centers, financial institutions, and the like. For this ID card, you can punch holes in the card itself,
Alternatively, if you magnetize it and insert it into a card reader or machine installed near the door, the nine card readers will determine whether or not it is a pre-registered card.
There are devices that unlock the door only for pre-registered cards, but recently, the cards themselves have built-in oscillators that emit energy waves such as ultrasonic waves, as well as power sources to drive these oscillators. , the so-called active type (a
cttve type) is being considered.

This active ID card itself emits energy waves, so it can be read without contact. It has the advantage that it can be read even when the card is in the pocket.

However, when this active ID card emits ultrasonic waves as energy waves, the ultrasonic waves are significantly attenuated depending on the structure of the pocket in which it is carried and the nature of clothing, making it difficult to use it effectively as described above. Ta.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides an ID card that is equipped with an oscillator for emitting energy waves and a power source for driving this oscillator. It has a locking means or shape that protrudes outside the pocket, and by exposing the shoulder oscillator to the outside of the part of the pocket that protrudes from the pocket, it is possible to read it while carrying it in the pocket. This paper proposes an ID card that can be used as an ID card.

[Example of invention □]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention, together with its usage and the configuration of a reading device, will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows how to use an active ID card.

An unlocking indicator lamp (8) is provided, and a person (4) carrying an ID card (at) in order to pass through the door (
1) When you approach the front of the card reader or near the card reader, the card reader receives energy waves emitted from the ID card, and for example, when the code matches the registered code. When the electric lock (2) is unlocked, the unlock indicator lamp (8) is turned on, and in this state, automatic opening or manual opening of 5(1) is enabled.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ID card used in this way is connected to the body part 0η so that it can be bent, and is bent in the direction of the arrow A by means of a spring clip A. The energy generating part (2) is pressed and comes into contact with the main body part, and eight ultrasonic oscillators α→ are attached in a state where they are exposed on the side opposite to the face that comes into contact with the main body part, that is, on the outside. has been done.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the detailed configuration of this ID card (G), and the main body part 01) is equipped with a vapor battery (
110), oscillators (121) to (12B) each receiving operating power through jumpers (111) to (118)'i whose connection positions differ depending on the card number, and amplifiers (131) to amplify their outputs. (138) is installed, and the energy generating unit 020 receives operating power via the same jumper as the oscillator and amplifier, and the outputs of the amplifiers (131) to (138) are used to generate the oscillators (121) to (128), respectively. ) Ultrasonic oscillators (141) to (148) that generate ultrasonic waves corresponding to the frequencies of
is installed.

Next, FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the detailed configuration of the nine card readers (foundation), including the ultrasonic oscillators (141) to (
148) Ultrasonic receivers (211) to (21B) that individually receive ultrasonic waves emitted from the ultrasonic receivers, and amplifiers (221) to (228) that amplify the output signals of each ultrasonic receiver, respectively.
), level detectors (231) to (23B) that determine whether the output of each amplifier exceeds a predetermined level and output a %Hl signal when the output exceeds the predetermined level, and information on the ID card. Rather than storing the ID information memory (241) and the outputs of the level detectors (231) to (238) as bit information, the code is compared with the code registered in advance in the ID information memory (24). If both match, %
A coincidence detection circuit (242) that outputs an H# signal, and when this coincidence detection circuit (242) outputs a pulse signal,
It comprises a monostable i-multiviprator (243) which applies a signal at % Hz level for eg 10 seconds to the electric lock (2) and the unlock indicator lamp (8).

The operation of the ID card configured as described above will be explained below together with the operation of the card reading device.

First, when storing the main body part cIJ of the ID card (g) in a pocket of clothes (not shown), the energy generating part (2) is shown by a broken line and is expanded to the next position against the force of the spring clip 011), and then released. Then, the edge of the pocket is held between the main body part Qll and the energy generating part (helper). Therefore, the energy generating part 0 protrudes outside the pocket, and the ultrasonic oscillator 04 is exposed outward as seen from the human body. I will do it.

Next, the oscillators (121) to (128) are connected to the vapor battery (11) via jumpers (111) to (118), respectively.
0), they oscillate at different frequencies, and accordingly, the ultrasonic oscillators (141) to (148) generate frequencies f□, f2゜..., f8 (f<f2<...・＜f
8) Ultrasonic waves are emitted.

In this case, the jumpers (111)--(118) are cut out in different positions by the card, so that the paper battery (110) has two of the oscillators (121) and (128).
When two systems are connected, ultrasonic waves of frequencies fU and f8 are output, and these become the ID card number as bit information. These relationships are shown in the table below.

In this way, the radiated ultrasonic waves at the frequency f8 are received by the ultrasonic receiver (211), the ultrasonic waves at the frequency f8 are received by the ultrasonic receiver (218), and then the amplifiers (221), (228) ) and level detector (2
31), a coincidence detection circuit (242) via (238)
added to.

In the match detection circuit (242), the received 8-bit ID
The code is compared with the code registered in advance in the ID information memory (241), and when the two match, a pulse signal is generated and applied to the monostable multivibrator (243).

When the monostable multivibrator (243) receives this pulse, it activates the electric lock (2) and unlock indicator lamp (8), respectively.
) is applied with a %Hl level signal for 10 seconds.

In this way, the door (1) can be opened automatically or manually, allowing passage through.

At this time, the ultrasonic oscillator of the ID card αQ is outside the pocket and exposed to the outside when viewed from the human body.
The ultrasonic waves are not attenuated by the pocket, so it is possible to read the ID card while carrying it in the pocket.In the above embodiment, an ID card that is folded in two has been described. For example, even if the main body part aη is formed vertically as shown in FIG. The same reading as described above is also possible even if it is exposed outward.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the jumper is cut off to emit ultrasonic waves at a frequency corresponding to the card number, but instead of cutting off the jumper, the oscillator, ultrasonic oscillator, etc. may be removed. .

By the way, in the ID card having the shape shown in Fig. 2, the main body and the energy generating part are connected by a flexible wire, but instead of this, a contact or a contact and a slip ring may be used. .

In addition, a solar cell may be used instead of the battery that should be used as a power source. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an ID card that sends and receives ultrasonic waves to and from a reader is described, but ultrasonic waves Instead, the present invention can also be applied to devices configured to transmit and receive energy waves such as infrared rays, microwaves, and electromagnetic waves.

Next, the nine card readers mentioned above are equipped with multiple ultrasonic receivers corresponding to ID cards, but one receiver receives ultrasonic waves and then detects the frequency to detect the frequency. is also possible.

In addition, the ID card described above generates ultrasonic waves independently of the 9 readers, but if it is made to generate ultrasonic waves only when it receives a specific signal from the 9 readers, for example, it can be made unnecessary. It is possible to prevent severe disturbances and extend the life of the battery.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, the ID card of the present invention has a locking means or shape that causes a portion of the main body to protrude outside the pocket when the main body is stored in the pocket, and the portion that protrudes from the pocket is separated from the human body. Since the oscillator is exposed on the outside of the device, it is possible to read it while carrying it in your pocket.・
