IC card processing equipment Technical field

The present invention relates to, for example, an IC card processing device used for processing power in an IC card as electronic cash, even if a user has an IC card of a plurality of specifications. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an IC input processing device capable of improving usability and shortening a check time required for checking card data of an IC card. Background art

At present, electronic cash is attracting attention as a new currency that replaces banknotes. Of this electronic cash, the IC card type electronic cash has the merit that it is easy to use because it is close to the current form of transaction (consumers carry cash in their wallets). The IC card is a credit card-sized plastic card equipped with a one-chip microcomputer consisting of an IC (Integrated Circuit), and is regarded as a container for electronic cash.

The IC includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and an EE PROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable), wherein the EE PROM is capable of reading and writing stored data, and This is a so-called non-volatile memory that does not lose its stored contents when the power is turned off. The EEPROM stores encrypted balance data, payment history data, and payment history data such as overnight data.

In addition, IC card type electronic cash can be distinguished into open type and closed type by digitizing money or settlement. Open electronic cash is the electronic form of money, and this open electronic cash has the same properties as existing cash. Distribute child cash from person to person.

On the other hand, electronic payments are closed electronic cash. In this closed electronic cash, electronic cash is returned to the issuing entity each time it is used, so electronic cash must be passed through a bank account. Although it is not possible to relocate, use history etc. remain, which is advantageous in terms of compensation for loss.

In addition, users (consumers, etc.) carry an IC card as electronic cash, and pay for it by giving the IC card to a clerk when shopping. The store is equipped with a reader / writer that reads / writes data stored in the EEPROM of the IC card, and the store clerk inserts the received IC card into the reader Z writer. In this way, payment processing is performed. That is, when the IC card is inserted into the reader / writer, the payment amount is subtracted from the balance in the IC card, and the payment is made on the reader Z writer side, and the amount is added.

Further, in a state where only the IC card is carried, since the card data is electronic data, the user cannot directly know the balance of the IC card. For this reason, an IC card processing device for displaying the above-mentioned IC power consumption data (balance, payment history, withdrawal history, etc.) has been carried along with the IC card. Here, if the IC card is cash, the IC card processing device serves as a wallet.

FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the conventional IC card processing device 10 described above. The IC card processing device 10 shown in this block diagram has a shape like a calculator, and has an entrance (not shown) for interfacing with the IC card 20. The IC card 20 is composed of a force base material 21 and an IC 22 and is, for example, a card compatible with the above-mentioned open electronic money management application. This IC card 20 is a so-called IC card with external terminals.

The card base material 21 is made of PVC (vinyl chloride polymer), PVCA (vinyl chloride • vinyl acetate copolymer) or the like, which is formed in a thin plate shape. IC 22 is a CPU, It is composed of EE PROM (all not shown) and operates based on the application program AP of the above “open type” specification, which will be described later. In other words, the IC 22 does not operate properly with an application program other than the application program AP of the “open type” specification.

The IC 22 operates by being supplied with power from the IC card processing device 10. The EE PROM stores card data such as balance data, payment history data, and withdrawal history data. Further, the IC 22 outputs initial response data after a lapse of a certain time after being activated by the supply of power. Here, the above-mentioned initial response data includes physical information of the IC 22, connection information characters such as the logical characteristics of the transmission protocol, and general information on the IC card 20 (for example, card manufacturing date). Etc. refers to data composed of management information characters.

In the IC force processing device 10, the MPU 11 controls each unit of the device. The operation of the MPU 11 will be described later in detail. The power supply unit 12 has, for example, a so-called button battery, and supplies power to each unit of the IC card processing device 10 and the IC 22 of the IC card 20. The oscillating unit 13 generates a clock signal of a predetermined frequency and supplies this to each unit. In the IC card processor 10, each unit operates based on the clock signal.

The ROM (Read Only Memory) 14 stores an application program AP of an IC card 20 (open type) specification. The application program AP is executed by the MPU 11 and is a program for reading card data stored in the EEPROM of the IC 22 and the like. Here, as described above, the application program AP corresponds only to the IC 22 (IC card 20) of the “open type” specification, and does not correspond to any other program.

A RAM (Random Access Memory) 15 temporarily stores various data and variable data generated when the MPU 11 executes the application program AP. The communication section 16 has an IC 22 inserted into an insertion port (not shown), Interface between the IC 22 and the MPU 11 when connected. The detecting unit 17 electrically detects the IC 22 when the IC 22 is inserted into the entrance.

The display unit 18 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays card data (balance, payment history, payment history) stored in the EEPROM of the IC 22 under the control of the MPU 11. The key section 19 is composed of a plurality of keys such as a selection key for selecting a display on the display section 18 and an arrow key for switching the display. The user can display a balance, a deposit history, a withdrawal history, etc. on the display section 18. Operated when checking from the screen. The components of the MPU 1 and the oscillators 13,... Are connected via a bus B.

In the above configuration, when the IC card 20 is inserted into the gateway of the IC card processing device 10, the IC 22 and the communication unit 16 are electrically connected, and the detection unit 17 detects the IC 22. As a result, the detection result information is output from the detection unit 17 to the MPU 11 via the bus B. As a result, the activation process for IC 22. is performed under the control of MPU 11, power is supplied from power supply unit 12 to IC 22, and I'C 22 is activated.

Then, after a certain period of time has elapsed since the power was supplied, the IC 22 outputs initial response data to the MPU i 1 via the communication unit 16 and the bus B, and the MPU 11 outputs the initial response data. The application program AP is executed by accessing the ROM 14 via the bus B with the evening input as a trigger. As a result, the MPU 11 outputs a command instructing to read the card data stored in the EEPROM of the IC 22 to the IC 22 via the bus B and the communication unit 16.

Then, the CPU of the IC 22 outputs the card data to the MPU li via the communication unit 16 in accordance with the above command, and the MPU 11 outputs the required data based on the key operation of the key unit 19. The card data (for example, balance) is displayed on the display section 18. This allows the user to visually check the display screen of the display unit 18 to know the balance. Can be

If the IC 22 (IC card 20) is not of the "open type" specification, for example, of another "closed type" specification, the application program AP force "closed type" Therefore, the card data cannot be read from the IC 22 and displayed on the display unit 18. In this case, an error is displayed on the display unit 18.

By the way, in the conventional IC card processing device 10, it was stated that the specifications of the application program AP shown in Fig. 15 and the IC 22 of the IC card 20 correspond one-to-one. . Therefore, if the IC card processing device 10 has the “open type” specification, it is natural that only the “open type” specification can be used as the IC card 20.

For this reason, conventionally, when a user owns a plurality of IC cards of the “open type” specification and the “closed type” specification as the IC card 20, the user corresponds to each of these specifications. It will own an “open type” specification IC card processing device 10 and a “closed type” specification IC card processing device (not shown).

Therefore, the conventional IC card processing apparatus has to carry a plurality of IC card processing apparatuses for the number of specifications of the IC card, which is extremely inconvenient.

Further, conventionally, when trying to check the card data of one IC card among a plurality of IC cards, one IC card processing device corresponding to the IC card is selected from a plurality of IC card processing devices. Must choose. Therefore, in the conventional IC card processing device, in addition to the time required to select the IC card processing device, the access time of the IC card processing device to the IC card takes time, so that the user should check the card data. After that, there was a problem that the confirmation time required until finally confirming the card data of the IC card 20 was inevitably increased. The present invention has been made in view of the above, and even when the user has an IC card of a plurality of specifications, the usability can be improved and

It is another object of the present invention to provide an IC card processing device capable of shortening a check time required for checking card data of an IC card. Disclosure of the invention

Power supply unit 4 1, for example, has a button cell, each unit and the first IC card 50 of the IC card processor 30, the first IC 52 i (second IC 52 ₂ or the third Supply power to the IC 52 ₃ ). The oscillating unit 42 generates a clock signal of a predetermined frequency and supplies this to each unit. In the IC card processing device 30, each unit operates based on the above-mentioned click signal.

The ROM 43 stores the first application program A corresponding to the “A type” specification as an “A type file” and the second application program AP ₂ corresponding to the “B type” specification as a “B type as ", are each saying his own憶third of the application program AP ₃ as the" C-type file "corresponding to the" C-type "specification.

RAM 44 temporarily stores variable data such as during execution of the first application program (second applique one Chillon program AP ₂ or a third application program AP _3). The non-volatile memory 45 is, for example, an EEPROM, and is a memory that can read and write stored data and does not lose its stored contents even when the power is turned off. The non-volatile memory 45 stores a preset selection order table T ,. In the example shown in the figure, in the selection order table, “A type file” (first application program AP!) Has the selection order set to “1” and “B type file” (second application program). In the program AP ₂ ), the selection order is set to “2”, and in the “C type file” (third application program AP ₃ ), the selection order is set to “3”. The communication unit 4-6, the insertion opening (not shown), for example, the first IC card 50 first IC 52 of,, is inserted (second IC 52 ₂ or the third IC 52 _3), and electrically when connected to the take first (second IC 52 ₂ or the third IC 52 ₃₎ and interface one Fuwesu of communication performed with the MPU 37.

Next, the operation of the IC card processing device 30 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In Figure 1, the user first IC card 5 0, is the second IC force one de 5 0 ₂ and the third IC card 5 0 _3, and the IC power one de processor 30 possessed Shall be. 'In such a possession state, the user may, for example, store the first card data (for example, the first IC data stored in the first IC 52, (EEPR〇M) of the first IC card 50 i of the “A type” specification When confirming the data of “the balance”, the user inserts a part of the first IC card 50, into the power inlet 32. As a result, the connector (not shown) of the card entrance 32 and the terminal of the first IC 52, of the first IC card 50, are electrically connected to each other, so that the detection unit shown in FIG. 47 detects that the first IC 52, has been electrically connected.

Then, the data of the detection result is input to the MPU 37 via the bus BU. Thereby, the activation control unit 38 of the MPU 37 proceeds to step SA1 shown in FIG. 3, and executes the activation process for the first IC 52, of the first IC card 50 ,. Specifically, the activation control unit 38 controls the power supply unit 41 to supply power from the power supply unit 41 to the first IC 52,. As a result, the first IC 52, is activated, and after a lapse of a predetermined time from the supply of the power, the first initial response data described above is selected / filed via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU. Output to execution unit 40.

Thus, in step SA2, the file selection / execution unit 40 of the MPU 37 searches the selection order table 1 stored in the non-volatile memory 45, and the “A type” of which the selection order is “1” Select "File". Next, the file selection Z execution section 40 reads the first file corresponding to the “A type file” from the ROM 43. After reading the first application program APi via the selected file reading unit 39, the first command obtained from the first application program AP, is transferred to the ith IC 52! Via the bus BU and the communication unit 46. Output to Here, the first command is instruction data indicating that the first application program AP, of the “A type” specification, is used. After outputting the first command, the file selection Z execution unit 40 proceeds to step SA3.

In step SA3, the file selection / execution unit 40 sets the IC (in this case, the first IC 52,) of the IC card (in this case, the first IC card 50,) inserted in the IC card processing device 30. ,) To determine whether the first response data has been input. Here, the above-mentioned first response data is data indicating that the Ic force <“A type” specification is supported.

Then, when the first command is input to the first IC 52, the first IC 52, because of the powerful “A type” specification, the first IC 52, Is output to the file selection / execution unit 40 via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU. As a result, the file selection / execution unit 40 sets the determination result of step S A3 to “YES”, and proceeds to step S A9.

The first IC 52, but if "Type A" Specifications other than IC (e.g., the second IC 52 _2, a third IC 52 ₃₎ if it is also the first command is input However, the first response data described above is not output to the file selection Z execution unit 40 from the IC.

Then, in step S A9, the file selection / execution unit 40 performs the application processing by executing the first application program ΑΡ. Specifically, during this application processing, information is exchanged between the MPU 37 and the first IC 52 of the first IC card 50, so that the first IC 52, The first data is stored in the RAM 44 via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU.

Then, for example, when the user presses the selection key 34 shown in FIG. Then, the MPU 37 outputs the data of “balance” among the first card data stored in the RAM 44 to the display section 33. As a result, for example, "500 yen" is displayed on the display section 33 shown in FIG. 1 as "Balance", and the user visually confirms this display to display the first IC. It recognizes that the balance of the card 500, is "500,000 yen".

Then, when the first IC card 50 is removed from the IC card processing device 30 shown in FIG. 1 by the user who has completed the balance check, the activation control unit 38 of the MPU 37 proceeds to step SA8. Proceed to stop the power supply from the power supply unit 41. After executing the deactivation process, end all the processes.

The user, for example, "B type" Specification of a second IC card 5 0 ₂ of the second IC 5 2 ₂ second card data stored in the (EEPROM) (e.g., data of "balance") When confirming the above, the user inserts a part of the _second IC card 502 into the force input 32 instead of the first IC card 50 described above. Thus, as in the operation described above, the card揷入port 3 second connector (Fig示略) and second IC 5 2 ₂ and the terminal is electrically connected, the connection state shown in FIG. 2 Detected by the detector 47.

Thus, activation control unit 3 8 of MPU 3 7 proceeds to step S A'l shown in Figure 3, to perform an activation treatment with respect to the second IC 5 2 _2. As a result, the second IC 52 ₂ is activated, after elapsed since power is supplied a predetermined time, via a second initial communication response data section 4 6, and a bus BU described above file selection Z execution unit Output to 40.

Accordingly, in step SA2, the file selection / execution unit 40 of the MPU 37 selects the “A type file” of the selection order power “1” in the selection order table stored in the nonvolatile memory 45. . Next, the file selecting / executing unit 40 reads the first application program corresponding to the “A type file” from the ROM 43 via the selected file reading unit 39, and then executes the first The first command obtained from the application program AP, After outputting to the _second IC 522 via the BU and the communication unit 46, the process proceeds to step SA3.

When the first command is input to the "B type" second IC 5 2 ₂ specifications, not the IC 5 2 ₂ "type A" specification of the second, the second IC 5 2 No data is output from 2. That is, in this case, the second IC 5 2 ₂ is an unresponsive state.

Therefore, in step SA3, since the first response data corresponding to the "A type" specification is not input, the file selection Z execution unit 40 sets the determination result to "N〇" and proceeds to step SA4. In step SA4, the file selection / execution unit 40 of the MPU 37 searches the selection order table T _: stored in the non-volatile memory 45 to find the "B type" of "2". Select "File".

Next, the file selection / execution unit 40 reads out the second application program AP ₂ corresponding to the above “B-type file” from the R〇M 43 via the selected file reading unit 39. Thereafter, the second command obtained from the second application program AP2 is output to the _second IC 522 via the bus BU and the communication section 46, and then the process proceeds to Step SA5.

Here, the second command is data of a command statement indicating that the second application program AP 2 of the “B type” specification is used.

In step SA 5, the file selection Z executing section 4 0, the IC card processing device 3 0 to揷入has been that the IC card (in this case, the second IC card 5 0 ₂₎ For the IC (this second the IC 5 2 ₂₎ than the second response data you determine whether or not the input. Here, the second response data is data indicating that the specification corresponds to the IC power “B type” specification.

In this case, since those of the second IC 5 2 ₂ force base "B type" specification, when the second command is input to the second IC 5 2 _2, the second IC 5 2 ₂ is The second response data indicating the “B type” specification is output to the file selection / execution unit 40 via the communication unit 46 and the source BU. As a result, the file selection / execution unit 40 9 9 The result of determination in step SA5 is determined as "YES", and the flow advances to step SA10.

Then, in step SA10, the file selection Z execution unit 40 executes an application process by executing the _second application program AP2. Specifically, during this application process, similarly to the processing in step SA9, between the MPU 37 and the second IC 52 ₂ of the second IC card 5 0 _2, exchange of information lines by dividing, the second force one Dodeta in the second IC 52 ₂ via the communication unit 4 6 and the bus BU, and stored in the RAM 44.

Then, for example, when the user presses the selection key 34 shown in FIG. 1, the MPU 37 outputs the data of “balance” among the second card data stored in the RAM 44 to the display unit 33. You. As a result, the display unit 33 shown in FIG. 1 displays, for example, "6000 yen" as the "remaining balance", and the user can visually confirm this display to obtain the second IC power. It recognizes that de 5 0 ₂ of the balance is "¥ 600.0".

Then, the user completing the balance confirmation, the IC card processing apparatus 3 0 power shown in FIG. 1, when et second IC card 50 ₂ is pulled out, the activation control unit 3 8 of MPU 37, the process proceeds to step SA8 After executing the above-described deactivation processing, all processing ends.

Further, the user, for example: a third card data stored in the third IC 52 ₃ of the third IC card 50 ₃ '(type "Specifications (EEPROM) (e.g., data) of the" balance " to check, Interview monodentate, instead of the second IC card 5 02 described above, the piece portions of the third IC card 50 ₃ to be inserted into the card揷入port 32. Thus, through the above operation , activation control unit 38 of the MPU37 proceeds to step SA i shown in FIG. 3, that perform activation processing for the third IC 52 _3. As a result, a third IC 52 ₃ is activated After a lapse of a predetermined time from the supply of power, the above-described third initial response data is output to the file selection / execution unit 40 via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU.

Accordingly, in step SA2, the file selection / execution unit 40 of the MPU 37 In the same manner as described above, after selecting the “A type file” having the selection order of “1” in the selection order table T, the corresponding first application program AP, is selected by the selected file reading unit 39. Read from ROM 43 via Next, the file selection / execution unit 40, after outputting a first command obtained from? The first application program AP to the third IC 52 ₃ through the bus BU and communication unit 4 6, step Proceed to SA 3.

Since the it is input to the first command ( "Type A" specification) force "(Type" third IC 52 ₃ specifications, not the IC 52 ₃ force the third "type A" specification, from the third IC 52 _3, one of the data is also not output. That is, in this case, the third IC 52 ₃ is no response state.

Therefore, in step SA3, since the first response data corresponding to the "A type" specification is not input, the file selection Z execution unit 40 sets the determination result to "NO" and proceeds to step SA4. In step SA4, the file selection / execution unit 40 of the MPU 37 searches the selection order table Ti to select the "B type file" having the selection order of "2", and then selects the "B type file". the corresponding second application program AP ₂ via the selected file reading unit 39 reads the R OM4 3. Next, the file selection / execution unit 40, the second command obtained from the second Abu RIQUET one Deployment program AP ₂ through the bus BU and communication unit 4 6, the output to the third IC 52 ₃ After that, go to step SA5. In step SA5, the file selection Z execution unit 40 determines the IC (in this case, the third IC 52 ₃ ) of the IC card (in this case, the third IC card 50 ₃ ) inserted in the IC card processing device 30. ) To determine whether the second response data has been input.

Since the is input the second command to the third IC 52 ₃ ( "B type" specifications) force "C type" specifications, not the IC 52 ₃ force base "B type" Specification of third from the third IC 52 _3, also not output any data. That is, in the case of this, a third IC 52 ₃ is still no response state. Therefore, in step SA5, the second response data corresponding to the “B type” specification is not input, and the file selection execution unit 40 determines that the determination result is “NO” and proceeds to step SA6. In step SA6, the file selection Z execution unit 40 of the MPU 37 searches the selection order table 1 \ to select a "C type file" having a selection order of "3".

Next, the file selection / execution unit 40, the above-mentioned from ROM43 "(: Type Huai Norre" after reading through the third application program AP ₃ the selected file read- portion 39 corresponding to, this third The third command obtained from the application program AP is output to the _third IC 523 via the bus BU and the communication unit 46, and then the process proceeds to Step SA7. , is a de Isseki of statements indicating that the use of a third application program AP ₃ of "(type" specification.

In step SA7, the file selection Z execution unit 40 determines the IC (in this case, the third IC 52 ₃ ) of the IC card (in this case, the third IC card 50 ₃ ) inserted in the IC card processing device 30. ) To determine whether the third response data has been input. Here, the third response data is data indicating that the IC is compatible with the “C type” specification.

In this case, the third IC 52 ₃ Chikaraku: for those of "(type" specification, when the third command is input to the third IC 52 _3, a third IC 52 ₃ is " The third response data indicating the “C type” specification is output to the file selection / execution unit 40 via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU. Is determined as “YES”, and the flow advances to step SAi1.

Then, in step SAi1, the file selection Z execution unit 40 performs the application processing by executing the _third application program AP3. Specifically, during this application process, similarly to the processing in step SA9, between the third IC 52 ₃ MPU 37 and the third IC card 50 _3, exchange of information is by the third force one of the third IC 52 ₃ The data is stored in the RAM 44 via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU.

Then, for example, when the selection key 34 shown in FIG. 1 is pressed by the user,

The MPU 37 outputs the data of “balance” among the third card data stored in the RAM 44 to the display unit 33. As a result, the display unit 33 shown in FIG. 1 displays, for example, “700,000 yen” as “Balance”, and the user visually confirms this display to display the third IC. sure the balance of forces one de 5 0 ₃ is "7 0 0 0 ¥ J, to identify.

Then, the user who has finished checking the remaining balance receives an IC card processing device 3 shown in FIG.

0 When the third IC card 5 0 ₃ is withdrawn, activation control unit 3 '8 of MPU 3 7 proceeds to step SA 8, after performing the deactivation process described above, all of the processing finish.

As described above, according to the IC card processing apparatus 3 0 according to the first embodiment described above, saying the first application program AP! ~ Third application program AP ₃ different specifications respectively ROM 4 3 himself憶In addition, the selection order of the three specification application programs (files) is stored in the nonvolatile memory 45 as a selection order table T, and the first application program is stored in accordance with the selection order table T, AP, since it is configured to sequentially perform a to third application program AP _3, the first IC card users of multiple specifications 5 0! Can be shared to third IC card 5 0 ₃ in one IC card processing apparatus 3 0.

Therefore, according to the IC card processing device 30 according to the first embodiment, the first IC card 50! -Even if the user has the _third IC card 503, it is possible to improve the usability of the user and to check the card data of the IC card. It is better to save time.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of an IC card processing device 60 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this figure, the parts corresponding to the parts in FIG. The same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted. 4, an MPU 61A is provided in place of the MPU 37 shown in FIG. 2, and the selection order table T, stored in the non-volatile memory 45, is used. It is configured so that it can be updated. The external configuration of the IC card processing device 60 according to the second embodiment is the same as the configuration shown in FIG. 1 described above.

In the MPU 61A shown in FIG. 4, a table updating unit 62 is newly provided in addition to the activation control unit 38, the selected file reading unit 39, and the file selection execution unit 40 shown in FIG. I have. The table updating unit 62 sets the selection order of the file (application program) most recently executed in the selection order table 7 to “1”, and changes the selection order of the files whose selection order is other than “1”. Perform the table update process of changing.

Specifically, as an example, the selection order table T is in the state A, (selection order “1”-“A type file”, selection order “2” → “B type file”, selection order “3 j →“ C It is assumed that a “B type file” (second application program AP ₂ ) is executed when “type file”) is set. In such a case, the table updating unit 62 updates the nonvolatile memory 45 so that the selection order table T \ is changed from state Α, to state.

That is, the table updating unit 62 changes the selection order of the most recently executed “B type file” from “2” (state A,) to “1” (state B,). Along with this change, the table updating unit 62 changes the selection order of “A type file” from “1” (state A,) to “2” (state B!). As a result, in the selection I table in state 状態, “B type file” is selected as “1”, “A type file” is selected as “2”, and “C type file” is selected as “C type file”. "3".

Next, the operation of the IC card processing device 60 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. The non-volatile memory 45 shown in FIG. 4 stores a selection order table T for state A, (initial state). And In this storage state, since the selection order table T, of the state A, has the same contents as the selection order table shown in FIG. 2 described above, each of the steps SB1 to SB11 shown in FIG. The processing is the same as the above-described processing of steps SA1 to SA11 shown in FIG.

That is, the first IC card 50, the second IC card 50 ₂ and the third IC card 50

Among C force one de 50 _3, for example, a second card data stored in the "B type" Specification of the second IC card 5 0 ₂ of the second IC 52 ₂ (EEPROM) (e.g., " When confirming the “data of the balance”, the user inserts a part of the _second IC card 502 into the card insertion slot 32 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Thus, in the same manner as described above, the force one de揷入port 32 of the connector (not shown) and the second IC 52 ₂ and the terminal is electrically connected, the connection state are shown in Figure 4 Detected by the detection unit 47.

Thus, MPU 6 1 A activation control unit 38 of the proceeds to step SB 1 shown in FIG. 5, to perform an activation treatment with respect to the second IC 52 _2. Next, the file selection Z execution unit 40 of the MPU 6 1 A selects the file whose selection order is “1” in the selection order table T, stored in the non-volatile memory 45 (in this case, the state shown in FIG. 4). Select "A type file").

Next, the file selection Z execution unit 40 determines from the ROM 43 an application program (in this case, the first application program AP, ) Is read out via the selected file reading section 39.

Subsequently, the file selection / execution unit 40 transmits the first command obtained from the read application program (first application program AP!) Via the bus BU and the communication unit 46 to the second IC 52 _2. After output to step SB3, go to step SB3. In step SB3, the file selection Z execution unit 40 outputs the above command (in this case, the first command), and then outputs the response data (in this case, the corresponding command) corresponding to the command (the first command). First response data) has been entered Determine whether or not. 'Then, in the same manner as described above, the even first command is input to the second IC 52 ₂ "B Type" specification, IC 52 ₂ force of the second in the "type A" specification no reason, the second IC 52 _2, also not output any data. Chi words, in this case, the second IC 52 ₂ is unresponsive state.

Accordingly, in step SB3, the required response data (in this case, the first response data corresponding to the “A type” specification) is not input, and the file selection execution unit 40 sets the determination result to “N〇” and sets step SB Proceed to 4. In step SB4, the file selection execution section 40 of the MPU 61A searches the selection order table T! Stored in the non-volatile memory 45, and finds the file whose selection order is "2" (in this case, Select “B type file” in the state A, shown in FIG. Next, the file selection execution unit 40 selects an application program (in this case, the second application program AP ₂ ) corresponding to the file of the above-mentioned selection order “2” (in this case, “B type file”) from the ROM 43. Read via the file reading unit 39.

Subsequently, the file selection Z execution unit 40, loaded to the application programs (a second application program AP ₂₎ a second IC 52 ₂ to the second command obtained via the bus BU and communication unit 46 from After output, go to step SB5. In step SB5, the file selection Z execution unit 40 outputs the above-mentioned command (in this case, the second command), and then outputs the corresponding response data (in this case, the second command) corresponding to the above-mentioned command (the second command). The second response data) is determined.

In this case, since the second IC 52 ₂ is of the "B-type" specification, when the second command is input to the ₂ second IC 52, second IC 52 ₂ is "B type The second response data indicating the specification is output to the file selection / execution unit 40 via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU. Accordingly, the file selection / execution unit 40 sets the determination result of step SB5 to "YES", and proceeds to step SB10. In step SB 1 0, file selection Z executing section 4 0, the application program (in this case, the second Abu Rikeshi Yon program AP ₂₎ of the selection order "2" in the selected ranking table by executing step SA 1 0 (see FIG. 3) and in the same manner, performing application processing on the IC card corresponding to the application program (in this case, the second IC card 50 _2). During this application processing, the user depresses the selection key 34 (see FIG. 1) to display the “balance” of the _second IC force 502 through the above-described steps by the display on the display unit 33. recognize.

Then, the user completing the balance confirmation, when the IC card processing apparatus 6 0 shown in FIG. 4 the second IC card 50 ₂ is pulled out, MPU 6 1 A activation control unit 38 of the shown in FIG. 5 Proceed to step SB8, execute the above-described deactivation processing (see FIG. 3: step SA8), and then proceed to step SB12.

In step SB 12, the table updating unit 62 sets the selection order of the file (application program) executed most recently in the selection order table to “1”, and selects the files whose selection order is other than “1”. The table is updated by changing the order.

In this case, since the most recently executed file is “B type”, the table updating unit 62 changes the selection order of “B type file” in the selection order table T, from “2” (state A,) to “ Change the selection order of “A type file” to “1” (state B,) from “Π (state At)” to “2” (state). As a result, the selection order table T, is updated from state A) to state B ,. Then, M PU6 1 A, after completion of all the processing for the second IC card 50 _2, two up technique IC card is inserted into the card insertion slot 32 (see FIG. 1), is a standby state You.

Then, when the user again inserts a part of the second IC card 50 ₂ (“B type” specification) into the card slot 32, through the above-described steps, the MPU 61 A file selection Z execution unit 4 0 executes the processing after step SB 1 shown in Fig. 5. Run. Subsequent processing is executed based on the latest selection order table (state B,) shown in FIG. That is, in step SB1, the activation control section 38 performs the activation processing on the second IC card 50 ₂ (“B type” specification) again. In the selection order table T, shown in FIG. 4, the "B type file" of the selection order "1" is selected.

Subsequently, in step SB2, the file selection / execution unit 40 sends the second command obtained from the second application program AP2 corresponding to the selection order "1J" B type file "" to the bus BU and the communication unit. through 4 6 outputs the second to the IC 52 _2. In this case, when the second command is input to the second IC 52 ₂ "B Type" specification, from the IC 52 ₂ of the second, the second response data to the file selection Z executing section 40 Is output. As a result, the file selection Z execution unit 40 sets the determination result of step SB3 to "YES", and proceeds to step SB9. In step SB 9, file selection / execution unit 40, the application program (in this case, the second application Ke one Chillon program AP ₂₎ of the selection order table T, the definitive selection order "1" by executing step SA9 (see FIG. 3) and in the same manner, performing application processing on the second IC card 50 ₂ corresponding to the second application program AP _2. During this application processing, the user presses the selection key 34 (see FIG. 1) to display the “balance” of the _second IC card 502 on the display section 33 through the above-described steps. Recognize by

Here, since the selection order of “B type file” in the selection order table (state B!) Is “1”, the selection order of “B type file” is “2” in the selection order table (state). as compared with the case where there is a, from a user to insert a second IC card 5 0 ₂ to the card揷入port 32, which reduces the time of the display unit 33 until the outstanding display.

In other words, in the selection order table (state A,) If the selection order of “2” is set to “2”, it is displayed after 6 steps of step SB 1 → step SB 2—step SB 3—step SB 4 → step SB 5—step SB 10 shown in FIG. The balance is displayed in Part 3 3.

On the other hand, if the selection order of “B-type file” is “1” in the selection II table (state), step SB 1 shown in Fig. 5 → step SB 2—step SB 3 → Step SB 9 The balance is displayed on the display unit 33 through 4 steps, so the time is reduced by 2 steps (6 steps-4 steps).

Then, the user completing the balance confirmation, the IC card processing apparatus 6 0 power shown in FIG. 4, when et second IC card 5 0 ₂ is withdrawn, activation control unit 3 8 of MPU 6 1 A is Proceed to step SB8 shown in FIG. 5, execute the above-described deactivation processing (see FIG. 3: step SA8), and then proceed to step SB12.

In step SB12, the table updating unit 62 executes a table updating process on the above-mentioned selection order table T ■. However, in this case, the most recently executed “B-type file” and the “B-type file” of the selection order “1” in the latest selection order table T, (downturn B,) are the same file. Therefore, the process ends without performing the table update process for the selected order table.

As described above, according to the IC card processing apparatus 60 according to Embodiment 2 described above, the table updating unit 62 updates the file (application program) having the selection order “1” in the selection order table T, to the latest. Since the configuration is such that the executed file (application program) is updated, the force data of the IC card can be confirmed as compared with the IC card processing device 30 according to the first embodiment (see FIG. 2). The confirmation time required to perform can be further reduced. In particular, when the number of application programs stored in the ROM 43 is large and a plurality of application programs are continuously executed, the above-described effect that the confirmation time can be shortened becomes remarkable.

FIG. 6 shows an electrical configuration of an IC card processing device 70 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. FIG. In this figure, parts corresponding to the respective parts in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. In the IC card processing device 70 shown in FIG. 6, an MPU 61B is provided instead of the MPU 61A shown in FIG. In the MPU 61B, a selection order setting unit 71 is provided instead of the table updating unit 62 shown in FIG. Further, the key part 48 shown in FIG. 6 has a function as a selection order change key for the user to arbitrarily change the selection order of the selection order table T ,.

Here, in FIG. 7, since each process of step SC1 to step SC11 is the same as each process of step SB1 to step SB11 shown in FIG. Omitted. However, FIG. 7 does not show a step corresponding to step SB12 shown in FIG. 5, but corresponds to this step. The process is executed in step SD1 and step SD2 shown in FIG. 8 as a process different from steps SC1 to SC11 shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the operation of the selection order setting section 71 of the MPU 61B shown in FIG. 6 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Selection level table T stored in the nonvolatile memory 4 5, but the state A ₂ (selection order "1" - "A Type File", selection order "2" → "B type file" selection order "3" - "C-type file"). In this state, the selection order setting unit 71 of the MPU 6 1B proceeds to step SD1 shown in FIG. 8, and determines whether or not the above-described selection order table has been input from the key unit 48. If the judgment result is “N0”, the same judgment is repeated.

Then, when the user exchanges the selection order “1” and the selection order “2” in the selection order table T, of the lying state A ₂ , the user selects the display mode of the display unit 33 by pressing the key unit 48. Enter the rank setting mode. That is, when the key section 48 is pressed, the selection order setting section 71 reads out the selection order table of the state A ₂ from the nonvolatile memory 45 and outputs it to the display section 33. Thus, the display unit 3 3, displays the selected order table state A ₂ is, the user can check the display of the display unit 33 recognizes the selection order of the current selection level table T.

Next, the user designates a file to be changed (set) in the selection order table in the selection order table (state A ₂ ) by pressing the key section 48. In this case, assuming that the user sets the selection order so that the selection order of “A type file” and “B type file” in the selection order table T, (state A ₂ ) is switched, the key The setting result is output from the unit 48 to the selection order setting unit 71 via the bus BU as the selection order setting data.

As a result, the selection order setting section 71 sets the determination result of step SD1 shown in FIG. 8 to “YES” and proceeds to step SD2. At step SD 2, the selection order set tough 71 according to the input selection order setting data, the selected state A ₂ Position Te one After switching the selection order “1” and the selection order “2” in the table Ti, the write control is performed on the nonvolatile memory 45 so that the selection table “T” becomes the state B ₂ , Returning to step SD1, the above steps are repeated.

Thereafter, in the IC card processing device 70 shown in FIG. 6, instead of the selection order table T of the state A ₂ , the selection order table T of the newly set state B ₂ is used. Steps SC1 to SC11 in the flowchart shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a Bcock diagram illustrating an electrical configuration of an IC force processing apparatus 80 according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In this figure, parts corresponding to the respective parts in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 9, an iMPU 81A is provided in place of the MPU 61 # shown in FIG. 6, and the non-volatile memory 45 has a selection order table T, shown in FIG. count value table T ₂ are stored.

Here, the count value table # ₂ indicates the correspondence between the file of each application program stored in the ROM 43 and the count value corresponding to the number of executions of the file (application program). Refers to a table. In the example shown in the figure, the count value table T ₂ (Fukutai Alpha ₃₎ is "Alpha type file I Le" (first application program Arufaro) count value corresponding to the number of times of execution of Toko (hereinafter, first The corresponding relationship between the “B-type file” (second application program AP ₂ ) and the force value (hereinafter, referred to as the second count value) corresponding to the number of executions, And “(: type file)” (third application program AP ₃ ) and It shows the corresponding relationship with the count value (hereinafter referred to as the third count value).

Also, in the MPU 81A shown in FIG. 9, a count value reading section 82, a count value comparing section 83 and a count value adding section 84 are newly provided instead of the selection order setting section 71 shown in FIG. It is provided in. The count value read section 82 refers to the count value table T ₂ stored in the nonvolatile memory 4 5, reads out the data of the first to third count value mentioned above, the count of these data Output to value comparison unit 83.

The count value comparison unit 83 compares the data of the first to third count values read by the count value read unit 82, and selects the data of the maximum count value as a file selection / execution unit 40. Output to Here, the file selection (execution unit 40) selects the file in the count value table ( ₂₎ corresponding to the maximum count value based on the comparison result of the count value comparison unit 83, and then executes this file. The application program is read from the ROM 43 via the selected file reading unit 39 and executed.

The count value adder 84 increments the count value in the count value table # ₂ corresponding to the file (application program) normally executed by the file selector / executor 40 by one. Here, “executed normally” means that the file is executed in a state where the specifications of the executed application program match the specifications of the IC card input to the IC card processing device 80. This means that the card data of the IC card is normally displayed on the display unit 33.

Next, the operation of the IC card processing device 80 according to Embodiment 4 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. It is assumed that the nonvolatile memory 45 shown in FIG. 9 stores the state # ₃ as the count value table # ₂ . That is, in the count value table T ₂ state Alpha _3, the first count value of "Alpha type file" is "4 5", "B type File" No. The count value of 2 is “30”, and the third count value of “(: type file” is “10J”.

Therefore, in the past, in the IC card processing device 80, the “A type file” (the first application program AP,) was normally executed “4 5” (the first count value) times. The “B type file” (second application program AP ₂ ) has been executed normally, “30” (second count value) times, and the “C type file” (third application program AP ₃ ) It has been executed successfully 10 times (3rd count value) times.

In addition, from the user's point of view, in the past, the user has pushed the first IC card 50, of the “A type” specification “45” times (first count value) times, and the second IC card of the “B type” specification. · Ι C card 5 0 ₂ "3 0" (second count value) times, "(: type" third "1 0", the IC card 5 0 ₃ of the specification (the third count value) times, This means that they are used in the IC card processing device 80.

In other words, Come to the user, the first IC card, of the second IC power over de 5 0 ₂ and the third IC card 5 0 _3, the first IC card 5 0! ( "Α type" specification) the frequency of use of the "4 5" times and the highest, then the second of the IC card 5 0 ₂ and the next high ( "B type" specification) of the frequency of use is "3 5" times Become the third

The frequency of using 1 C force 5 0 ₃ (“C type” specifications) is the lowest, “10 times”.

In this state, the user, for example, when the second IC card 5 0 ₂ piece portion of the "B type" specification is inserted in the force one de insertion port 3 2 (see FIG. 1), the aforementioned operation and in the same manner, the card揷入port 3 2 connectors with (not shown) a second IC 5 2 ₂ and the terminal are electrically connected by the detection unit 4 7 this connection facedown state is shown in FIG. 9 Is detected.

As a result, the activation control unit 38 of the MPU 81A proceeds to step SE1 shown in FIG. 10 and executes the second IC5 in the same manner as the processing of step SA1 (see FIG. 3).

Execute the activation process for 22. Next, in step SE2, MPU 8.1 Count value read section 82 of eight reads the data of the count values in the count value table T ₂ from the non-volatile memory 4 5. In this case, since the count value table T ₂ is a state Alpha _3, the count value read section 82, the first count value ([gamma] 4 5 "), the second count value (" 3 0 ") and After reading each data of the third count value (“10”), these data are output to the count value comparing section 83.

Thus, in step SE3, the count value comparing section 83 compares the data of the first to third count values and recognizes the maximum count value. In this case, the maximum count value is the first count value ("45"). Next, the count value comparing section 83 outputs the data of the first count value (“45”) to the file selecting / executing section 40.

Thus, in step SE4, the file selection {executing unit 40} selects a file in the count value table # ₂ (covered state # ₃ ) corresponding to the maximum count value. In this case, since the maximum count value is the first count value (“4 5”), the file selection / execution unit 40 sets the first count value in the count value table Τ ₂ (state Α ₃ ). Select “Αtype file” as the file corresponding to the value (“4 5”).

Next, the file selection Z execution unit 40 reads out the application program corresponding to the selected file from the ROM 43 via the selected file reading unit 39. In this case, the file selection Z execution unit 40 loads the first application program ΑΡ, corresponding to the “A type file” from the ROM 43.

5 joke out 'o

Next, the file selection Z execution unit 40 executes the first application program AP! In the same manner as the processing in step SA2 (see FIG. 3). Power, data of a first command obtained al ( "A-type" specification) through the bus BU and communication unit 4 6 shown in FIG. 9, the second IC card 5 0 ₂ ( "B type" Specifications After the output to the _second IC 522, the process proceeds to step SE5. In step SE5, the file selecting / executing unit 40 sends the IC (in the second case, the second IC card 50) of the IC card (in this case, the second IC card 50 :) inserted into the IC card processing device 80. than of IC 5 ₂ 2), the first of the application program AP! The corresponding application program (in this case, the first application program AP!) Is normally executed according to the result of whether or not the first response data (“A type” specification) corresponding to the above is input. Is determined.

In this case, since the second IC card 5 0 ₂ ( "B type" specification) second IC 5 2 not 2 force "A type" specifications, from the second IC 5 2 _2, either No data is output. That is, in this case, the second IC 5 2 ₂ is an unresponsive state.

Therefore, in Step SE5, since the first response data corresponding to the “A type” specification is not input, the file selection Z execution unit 40 sets the determination result to “N〇” and proceeds to Step SE6. At step SE 6, firstly, the file selection Z executing section 4 0, the count value table T ₂ (Fukutai Alpha ₃₎ count value reading section the maximum count value within each count value of the unexecuted file in 82 Recognize from the read result of 2.

In this case, in the count value table Τ ₂ (state Α ₃ ), the unexecuted files are “Β type file” and “C type file”. Of the second count value (“30”) of the “file” and the third count value (“10”) of the “C-type file”, the second count value (“3” 0 ”).

Next, the file selection Roh executing section 4 0 selects the file I le of the maximum count value recognized from the count value table T _2. In this case, the file selection {executing unit 40} selects the “カウント type file” of the second count value (“30”) as the selected file.

Next, the file selecting / executing unit 40 loads the second application program Α Ρ ₂ corresponding to the selected “Β type file” from the ROM 43 into the selected file. It is read via the child reading unit 39. Next, the file selection Z execution unit 40 executes the second command (“B type”) obtained from the second application program AP _{2 in the same} manner as in the processing of step SA 4 (see FIG. 3). The specification) is output to the _second IC 522 of the second IC card 502 (“B type” specification) via the bus BU and the communication unit 46 shown in FIG. Return to step SE5.

At step SE 5, file selection / execution unit 4 0, as in the processes described above, the second IC force "B type" specification is inserted in the IC card processing apparatus 8 0 - than de 50 _2, corresponding to the second application program AP _2, performs the above. the determination of whether the second response data ( "B type" specification) is input. Technique to One, file selection / execution unit 40, the determination result from said second applique one-motion program AP ₂ determines whether or not it has been successful.

In this case, since the specifications of the second IC card 50 _2, and the second specification applique one Chillon program AP ₂ in execution is both "B type" specification, the second IC card 502 second from IC 52 ₂ is the second response de Isseki is output to the file selection Z executing section 4 0 via the communication unit 46 and bus BU. Accordingly, in step SE5, the file selection / execution unit 40 sets the determination result to “YES”.

At step SE 7, the count value adding section 84, Kaunto value of Fairu executed normally in step SE 5 (the reference count value table T ₂ of the states A ₃₎ to Bok 1 increments, via the bus BU Write control is performed on the nonvolatile memory 45. In this case, since the normally executed file is “Β type file”, the count value adder 84 calculates the second count value of “Β type file” in the state Α ₃ count value table Τ ₂ Write control is performed on the non-volatile memory 45 so that ("30") is incremented by one. As a result, the second count value is 1 incremented Bok from "30" to "3 1", count value table T ₂ is from state Alpha ₃ state beta _3. In step SE8, the file selection / execution unit 40 executes the application processing by executing the _second application program AP2.

Specifically, during this application process, similarly to the processing in step SA 1 0 (see FIG. 3), a second IC of the MPU 8 1 A and the second IC card 5 0 ₂ 5 2 ₂ between, by exchange of information is performed, the second card data definitive the second IC 5 2 ₂ via the communication unit 4 6 and the bus BU, are stored in the R AM 4 4. Then, the user presses the selection key 34 (see FIG. 1) through the same process as the above-described step SA 10 (see FIG. 3), and the display unit 33 displays the second "balance" is displayed in the IC card 5 0 _2.

Then, the user completing the balance confirmation, the second IC card 5 0 ₂ is withdrawn from the IC card processing apparatus 8 0, activation control unit 3 8 of MPU 8 1 A, the steps shown in the first 0 Figure Proceed to SE9, execute the deactivation process in the same way as the process in step SA8 (see Fig. 3), and end all the processes.

Incidentally, when the count value table T ₂ shown in FIG. 9 is in the initial state, in other words, if all of the first to third count value is "0", the Sutetsu flop SE 3 shown in i 0 Figure , the count value comparing unit 8 3, since no superiority is stuck as a result of the comparison, for example, in the count value table T _2, and outputs the comparison result, the count value of the most the beginning of the file the address of the non-volatile memory 4 5. Similarly, in step SE 6 shown in FIG. 10, since the count value of the unexecuted file is, for example, all “0”, if the comparison result is not inferior, the file selection Ζ execution unit 40 In the count value table # ₂ , the above-described processing is performed based on the count value of the first file among the unexecuted files. As described above, according to the IC card processing apparatus 8 0 according to the fourth embodiment described above, by providing the count value table T ₂ and count value adding section 8 4 stored in the nonvolatile memory 4 5, each Since the configuration is such that the file (application program) with the largest count value indicating the number of file executions is executed sequentially, the first IC card 50! ~ User holds _third IC card 503 Even if there is, the user's usability can be improved and the confirmation time required to confirm the force data of the IC force can be shortened in the same manner as in the first embodiment. be able to.

The updating operation by the table updating unit 103 will be described later. In the nonvolatile memory 45, storage areas of addresses “0” to “2” are secured.

Next, the operation of the IC card processing device 100 according to the sixth embodiment described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. The processing of steps SF7 to SF13 shown in FIG. 14 corresponds to the processing of steps S A2 to S A8 shown in FIG. 3 described above in detail.

Initial response data table T ₃ shown in the first 2 figure it is assumed that state Alpha ₅ (initial state). That is, in the initial response data table # ₃ in the state # ₅ , no data is stored in the storage areas of the addresses "0" to "2". The user by, for example, to insert the second piece part of the IC card 50 _second "Β Type" specification card揷入port 32 (see FIG. 1). As a result, the activation control unit 38 of the MPU 101 proceeds to step SF1 shown in FIG.

Execute the activation process for 2.

In step SF 2, the control unit 1 02, the IC card (in this case, the second IC card 50 ₂₎ from the initial response data to determine whether or not the input, the judgment result is "Nyu_〇 ", Repeat this determination. On the other hand, when the above-mentioned activation treatment is performed, the second IC 52 ₂ is activated, after to a Jo Tokoro time has elapsed since power is supplied, the communication unit 4 and the second initial response data described above 6 and bus BU Output to the control unit i 0 2 via _c

As a result, the control unit 102 sets the determination result of step SF2 to "YES", and proceeds to step SF3. At step SF 3, the control unit 1 0 2, after collating the second initial response de Isseki of the initial response data table T ₃ input, the process proceeds to step SF 4. In step SF4, the control unit 102 determines whether or not the same initial response data as the input second initial response data exists in the initial response data table # 3. In this case, since no data exists in the initial response data table # ₃ as in the state # ₅ shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 102 sets the determination result of step SF4 to "Ν〇". The process proceeds to step SF7 shown in FIG. At step SF 7, the control unit 1 0 2, like in step SA2 (see FIG. 3), and the first command is output to the bus BU and communication unit 4 6 via the second IC 5 2 ₂ Then, proceed to Step SF8. In step SF8, the control unit 102 determines whether or not the first response data has been input. In this case, the second IC 5'2

From 2, the first response data is not input due to the difference in specifications, so the determination result is “NO” and the process proceeds to step SF 9.

At step SF 9, the control unit 1 02, as in step SA 4 (see FIG. 3), and the second command is output to the bus BU and communication unit 4 6 via the second IC 5 2 ₂ Then, the process proceeds to step SF10. In step SF10, the control unit 102 determines whether or not the second response data has been input. In this case, since the second response data is input due to the same specification, the determination result is To “YES”. Accordingly, in step SF15, the file selection / execution unit 40 performs the application processing by executing the _second application program AP2. Specifically, during the processing of this application, the MPU 101 and the second IC 52 of the _second IC card 50. ₂ are operated in the same manner as the processing of step SA 10 (see FIG. 3). _{The second} card data in the second IC 522 is stored in the RAM 44 via the communication unit 46 and the bus BU by transmitting and receiving information to and from the second IC 522. A process is performed.
