Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of data communication with a card by providing the card with a means for outputting data stored in the card contactlessly when the card is in a prescribed state. CONSTITUTION:A cipher part M for specifying the owner of a card is formed on the back of the card CD with magnetic ink or the like. The cipher part M is decoded by a head part RH of a reader R, and simultaneously information known only by the owner is applied to the reader from a keyboard KB through terminals C1, C2, H1, H2 and so on. When a CPU recognizes that various conditions are satisfied, the CPU outputs an instruction for executing prescribed processing.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a card processing device with increased added value.

Calculators in recent years have become ultra-thin and have added functions such as a clock function, making them more useful and portable. In addition, the thickness has gradually become thinner and flexible, and it has become possible to manufacture it to a thickness of about 0.5111 m to 2 mm, allowing it to be carried along with business cards, banknotes, etc.

On the other hand, cashless payments are becoming more and more common, and people begin to carry around a large number of cash cards, credit cards, etc., and as they become thicker, they become more difficult to carry around. Or, you may forget a necessary card and carry an unnecessary card by mistake.

You must also carry a train pass, etc. separately.

In view of the above points, the present invention provides a card processing device for adding various functions to, for example, a card equipped with a storage device and having a terminal for writing information to or reading information from the storage device. ) I agree with you.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a clock and an alarm card CD according to an embodiment of the processing device of the present invention, where LC is a liquid crystal display, KB is a keyboard, AL is an alarm, and it is similar to a cash card or credit card. have the same thickness and flexibility. In FIG. 2, the back side is provided with a code section M using magnetic ink or other known technology to identify the owner, similar to a cash card or credit card. This M part is decoded by the head RH of the reading device R (processing device) as shown in FIG. Give no information. This makes it possible to identify the card owner and prevent unauthorized use. If the reader R is set correctly, cash will be paid if it is a cash card. At this time, the payment amount can also be input from the keyboard KB. In addition, when using a credit card, the user can input the amount needed at that time from the keyboard KB and deduct it from the current deposit amount storage memory in the card CD, allowing the user to check the current amount at any time by operating the memory recall key. preferable. Also a commuter pass.

It can also be applied to employee badges, driver's licenses, etc. Figure 4 is the second
This is an example of a cash card that is configured to read display contents from a liquid crystal display LC without providing a special section M in the figure. When a card CD is loaded into the reading device R of a cash dispensing machine at a bank, etc., and the user enters the encrypted code such as his/her date of birth and other necessary key operations from the keyboard KB, the reading device R detects the card insertion or key operation. Then, the lamp L is turned on and the contents of the reflective or transmissive liquid crystal display LC are read. Further, the next key operation, etc. is notified by a well-known interactive display DSP or the like. As above, enter the payment amount using the key K.
If the CPU in FIG. 5 recognizes that the various conditions are satisfied, the requested amount is paid. At this time, the CPU deducts the current payment amount from the deposit balance storage memory in the calculator circuit section CAL via terminals CI, C2, H1, 82, etc. Therefore, the balance can be easily checked as described above, and if the withdrawal amount is over, the alarm AL is activated to warn you. This alarm may be activated when the regular purchase period approaches.In the case of a commuter pass, the card according to this embodiment is loaded into the reading device of the automatic regular issuing office, and the required amount is inserted into the currency reading device. Updates the memory contents in CAL until the next validity period.

At this time, the card is inserted into an automatic commuter pass discriminator at the station, which requires a specific code key operation, and when recognition is completed by a simple key operation, the CPU opens the gate for a certain period of time and allows the user to pass. This usage can also be applied to identification cards and the like.

According to the present invention, there is provided a storage means for storing data and a card that can modify the data stored in the storage means with data stored in an external device, when the card is in a predetermined state. By having a means to output the data stored on the card without contact, data communication with the card can be performed more efficiently.
