Conventionally known cards include credit cards, telephone cards, cash withdrawal cards, and various credit cards. These mainly adopt information storage using magnetic. When a magnet is close to the magnetic, it is applied to a magnetic tape or magnetic thin film. Since the stored information may be erased, the carrying is very careful, and if the information is erased, there is inconvenience such as having to reissue the card.

In addition, the conventional terminal device developed to query / record the magnetic card transmits the registration number and credit rating of the cards to the computer of the bank through a communication line, and if the approval is dropped, the merchant prints and prints the slips directly. It was configured to receive anyone who could use the card.

In other words, it relies only on the cardholder's signature without a password or encryption key for each card. Anyone can use a similar signature if the card can be used. If the card is lost or stolen, a large amount of the object can be acquired or stolen. There was a problem that often occurs card accidents that are billed to the card owner to buy.

In order to solve this problem, in recent years, an IC card in which a small computer chip including a CPU is installed on a synthetic resin board having a conventional card shape has been developed, which can replace cash payment as a card without holding cash. The information stored in the card is stored permanently as long as the card is not damaged and is widely used as a prepaid IC card and a debit IC card.

At this time, the prepaid IC card stores the amount data corresponding to cash through a predetermined input procedure in the CPU of the card, and when the purchase price is paid for a relatively small item, the merchant stores the amount of data stored on the card. The amount of money in the card is protected by a password, and the amount of information in the card is protected by a password to prevent other people from using it easily.

In addition, the debit IC card is configured to deposit the required amount (comparatively large amount) directly from the bank account of the client to the franchise account through the bank.

Therefore, in order to use the magnetic card and the IC card, a separate card terminal system is required.

The basic purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose card terminal system that can communicate smoothly while using the above cards without carrying cash, the card and the computer of the bank while maintaining the complementary information. To provide.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose card terminal system which can use both an existing magnetic card and an IC card, and can prevent a password from being known to others.

It is a third object of the present invention to provide a multipurpose card terminal system in which information communication between a main terminal device and a printer or a main terminal device and a pin pad can be selectively performed in a wired or wireless manner.

It is a fourth object of the present invention to provide a multi-purpose card terminal system capable of maintaining beauty by making the connectors of the wires for interconnecting respective devices to make information communication visible to the outside of the device body.

A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose card terminal system in which a pin pad is normally maintained on a top surface of a printer and can be charged with a constant voltage at all times.

The sixth object of the present invention is to install an inquiry / recording device capable of reading and writing an IC card even on a pin pad, so that payment of the IC card can be made even by using a conventional terminal for a magnetic card, thereby eliminating unnecessary economic loss of a merchant using a card.
