4ACER/070Q4TW is. The media used by the Intel-based PCs handles the non-contact reading from the reading unit 14'. Information. By means of the operating system, the processor 16 executes the program to process the read data 22, such as verifying, encrypting, decompressing, decompressing, copying, printing, or transmitting through a network. Or according to the data 22, the other steps should be initiated. In the embodiment, the data medium 20 is an integrated circuit crystal (or a smart card (SmartCard)), and the stored data is 22 ίί, material (for example: Information such as account number, transaction password or gold record), Tian. Betting unit 14 sends a magnetic field signal or RF signal 18 to read the data, and when the data is 22, the application 16 encrypts the data through the processor 16 and transmits the data through the network. The data 22 is transmitted to the electronic bank to complete the electronic transaction. Further, as is known to those skilled in the art, the processor 16 can also be implemented as a specific application integrated circuit (ASIC). In particular, the magnetic field signal provided by the reading unit 14 18 Series-Near Field Communication. For near-field communication signals, refer to ECMA 340 and ETSI TS 102 190 V1.1.1 and ISO/IEC 18092 standards. The above standards specify the modulation of near-field communication signal equipment. Program, Code, transmission speed and frame format of the RJ7 interface and initialization schemes and conditions required for data collision control during active and passive near field communication signal mode initialization. In particular, ECMA 340 is the main standard for near field communication signals. 'that is the norm and the development of NFC interface and agreement. NFC is currently the most

4ACER/07004TW ; PNAI-CO-0074-TWXX South transmission speed is 424kbps 'The farthest distance in active mode is 2〇cm, while in passive mode, the farthest distance is only 1GemU. The above distance (within 2〇cm) is bluer. Near-field communication signals are short-distance transmissions in the case of Bluetooth and WiFi meters to tens of meters. Bluetooth and WiFi use the ISM universal band (2 4GHz), so it is necessary to strengthen anti-jamming design, such as frequency hopping (FHSS), spread spectrum (DSSS) and so on. However, the near field communication signal also uses the ISM universal frequency band (13.56 MHz). However, due to the lower frequency and shorter uploading distance, the number of interferences is relatively reduced. This is one of the characteristics of the near field communication signal. Therefore, in the embodiment, when the data medium 20 carrying the data 22 is close to the housing 12 corresponding to the reading unit 14, the reading unit 14 is within a certain distance range (for example, the distance of the near field communication signal transmission). The data 22 on the data medium 20 is read by the signal 18 in a non-contact manner. The connection between the reading unit 14 and the processor 16 includes a Universal Serial Bus, a Universal Asynchronous Receiver (Transmitter), a System Management Bus, and an I2C (Inter). -Integrated Circuit) or other connection method. The processor 10 transmits the control signal to the reading unit 14 and the data 22 from the data medium 20 read by the receiving unit 14 through the connection method described above. In an embodiment, one surface of the housing 12 further includes an input sheet

The first and third figures show another embodiment of the present invention, and the input unit 14 is implemented as The touchpad 246 'the touchpad 246 is for the user to control the cursor and input the selection command, and generally can replace the function of the conventional/mouse. In this embodiment, the reading unit 14 is disposed under the touchpad 246. When the user brings the data medium 2 (for example, an integrated circuit chip card) close to the touch panel 246, as described above, the reading unit 14 reads the data medium 22 by using a magnetic field or a radio frequency 18 signal. It is worth mentioning that As described above, the reading unit 14 uses the magnetic field or the RF signal 18 to read the data 22 of the data medium 20, so if the material of the casing 12 (for example, metal) shields or shields the signal 18, the housing may be caused. The reading unit 14 in 12 cannot be signaled by 8, the signal is transmitted. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1E, an opening 248 is formed above the casing 12 due to the shielding effect of the material of the casing 12 (a, b, c and The area formed by d) is provided with a touch panel 246 at the opening 248. The contact plate 246 is made of a material (eg, acryl) that does not shield or shield the signal 18, and the reading unit 14 is disposed on Below the touchpad 246, the signal 18 can smoothly read the data medium 20 through the contact plate 246. -12-
