Description

Multi-purpose card

The present invention relates to a multi-purpose universal card, in particular to a multi-purpose universal card which can be applied to both a card reader and an optical drive for data reading, and can not only integrate a magnetic card, an IC card, a CD, etc. The storage medium is in a disk for easy carrying, and the memory capacity, security, and application functions of the disk can be greatly improved by this.

Background technique

With the rapid development of social informatization, people's lives have already become the era of plastic cards. Each person holds a variety of cards, using various financial cards, credit cards, ATM cards, access cards, VIP cards, identification cards, magnetic induction. Cards, IC cards, memory cards, smart cards, etc. can be easily carried by users, and are widely used in various fields such as finance, transportation, communication, security, identification, medical treatment and so on.

In Figure 1A and Figure 1B, there are three-dimensional schematic diagrams and side views of the existing general IC card / magnetic card, respectively. The IC card (magnetic card or dual-purpose card) 15 mainly uses an ISO 7816 protocol specification (85. 6mmX 53 98mm X 0.8mm _; plastic card with thickness indicated by A), at its proper position, there is a magnetic strip 17 or IC chip 19 that can store a variety of data, and an IC card / magnetic card 15 with recorded data inside Then, the card swipe port 113 or the card slot 115 of a card reader 11 can be used to read or calculate the data in the magnetic stripe 17 or the IC chip 19 online, and successfully complete the functions that the IC card / magnetic card 15 design performs.

Although the above-mentioned IC card / magnetic card 15 has the advantages of small size and easy portability, the magnetic stripe magnetic card only has a memory capacity of about 1.2 K, and the IC card has only a memory capacity of about 250 K. For the pursuit of In today's society where the memory capacity is large to accommodate larger data sources or computing functions, the IC card / magnetic card 15 does have limitations in its use.

In Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B, the three-dimensional structure and the side view structure of the conventional existing CD disc are shown. The CD disc 20 is 120mm or 80mm in diameter according to the protocol specification of the international standard disc (Red Book or Orange Book II). The disc structure with a thickness B of 1.2 mm is provided with a central hole 21 at the center, and the periphery of the central hole 21 is provided with a ring which can record data such as music, data, or video. CD reading surface 25. These data are digitized into 0 and 1 data, and then embossed into a series of holes (pits; 1) 251 and lands 255 that are read on a CD. Inside the storage layer 257 of the face 25. When you want to read or burn the data stored in the CD disc 20, you only need to place the CD disc 20 in a CD reading slot 30 or optical drive. The spindle motor 39 of the CD reading slot 30 will use the CD disc 20's The center hole 21 quickly drives the CD disc 20 to rotate, and cooperates with the laser source 31, the beam splitter 33, the photodetector 35, and the transmission 37 of the optical pickup 32 to read the signal hole 251 and The platform 255 message, and convert and restore the stored data. Generally, the memory capacity of the CD disc 20 is about 650M. Compared with the 250 K memory capacity of the existing IC card / magnetic card 15, the CD disc 20 is of course more suitable for data or arithmetic processing. However, the CD disc 20 is a large disc with a diameter of 12 cm. Compared with the IC card I magnetic card 15, it is not suitable for carrying around. Therefore, the industry has developed a business card type CD such as a business card, an IC card, or a magnetic caliper. Chip (memory capacity is about 50M), for example, US Patent No. 6,016, 298, "CALLING CARD" structure disclosed by Adivan High Tech AG, or Taiwan Patent Bulletin No. 374375, issued by 铼德科技股份有限公司The structure of the disclosed "disc-type business card" has a disc 40 as shown in FIG.

Although, the above-mentioned business card type CD structure can be similar to a business card, IC card, or magnetic card in size and is easy to carry. However, the thickness of the specification limited to the structure of the CD sheet is 1.2 pictures (B), while the specification thickness of the IC card / magnetic card structure is 0.8 let (A), the thickness of the two is as large as about 0.4mm Therefore, if you want to combine the advantages of the two cards into one, with the convenience of swiping or inserting a card, and the greatly expandable memory capacity (50M), you will encounter great technical difficulties.

For example, if the thickness of the CD is 1.2mm, the card cannot be swiped or inserted in a general card reader 11. Of course, if you want to read the data in the magnetic stripe (17) or IC chip 19, Is not feasible. Conversely, if the thickness specification of the IC card / magnetic card 0.8 band is to be determined, the card cannot be smoothly judged by the optical detector 35 when the card is placed in the optical disc drive or the optical disc reading slot 30. The correct data of the platform 255 (the distance between the optical pickup 32 and the CD 20 is far below the distance C), according to the stipulated depth of the information hole is 1/4 wavelength of the laser light source, so the tolerance of the optical disk cannot be higher than 0. 1 band, otherwise it will cause focus error and tracking error, making the data in CD 20 unreadable. For this reason, although the industry wants to integrate the two types of cards and absorb the advantages of both sides to benefit the majority of users, it is suffering from the lack of technology or structure to solve the problem of the thickness of the two types of cards, which has deeply troubled the related industries and users.

Therefore, how to propose a novel multi-purpose universal card structure for the problems mentioned above, which can integrate IC cards (magnetic cards) and CDs in one disc, and can be used in general card readers and optical drives at the same time, and The convenience of swiping or inserting a card and the expandability of a large memory capacity can be taken into consideration at the same time, which is the focus of the present invention.

Two completely different types of card specifications can not only take into account the simplicity of swiping or inserting a card, but also achieve the scalability and security of a large increase in memory capacity.

A secondary object of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose universal card, which uses simple structural changes to 6 IC cards (magnetic cards) and CDs can be easily integrated. Not only is the manufacturing process simple, but they can also be used for various purposes to benefit the vast number of users.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose universal card whose reading sleeve can be fitted on a disc with a CD reading surface built in at any time, so that the CD reading surface is protected from external environment pollution. This protects the correctness of the data on the reading side of the CD and extends its service life.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose universal card, which is adhered to the upper surface of a disc by using a disc protective film having a concave-convex pattern or a zigzag pattern, so that the disc structure may not be damaged. Various patterns or glyphs are formed on the upper surface to meet the actual needs of users.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose universal card, which utilizes the eccentric design of the positioning holes of the disc to effectively solve the position limitation of the IC chip when it is placed on the disc, which not only makes the disc more flexible in design space. It can also effectively solve the embarrassment that the disc is easy to engage with its inner roller when it is used in a suction card reader.

When the disc 40 is to be taken out, it is only necessary to press the positioning convex tooth 555 downward, and the disc 40 can be elastically sleeved out by using its squeezing force, just like the same disc storage box.

In addition, although a rectangular disk 40 and a reading sleeve 50 having a circular shape are taken as examples in this embodiment, if a circular disk 43 is provided on both sides of the rectangular disk, It immediately becomes an oval-like shape that can facilitate the rotation of the disc. Therefore, the disc 40 and the reading sleeve disc 50 can be designed into various geometric patterns such as rectangles, ovals, circles, or rings according to actual needs. Also, its magnetic strip 47, IC chip 49. The CD reading surface 45 is provided on the same surface or different front and back surfaces of the disc 40 according to actual needs. In FIG. 5, when the present invention is performing data reading, when the data of the CD reading surface 45 is to be read, At this time, the disc 40 only needs to be placed in the placement area 53 of the reading set 50, so that the two are closely attached, and the same is placed in the optical disc drive or the optical disc reading slot 60. With the help of the laser source 61 and optical reading of the optical disc drive 60, The pickup 62, the beam splitter 63, the photodetector 65, the transmission device 67 and the spindle motor 69 function. Through the placement area 53 with a light transmission effect, the distance thickness (C) is the same as that of existing ordinary optical discs. The hole 451 and the platform 455 can completely achieve the purpose of integrating the magnetic stripe 47, the IC chip 49 and the CD reading surface 45 on a card.

In addition, in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, another embodiment of the reading sleeve of the present invention mainly designs the reading sleeve 70 as a thin plate with a light transmitting effect, for example, in this embodiment, it is A circular thin plate with a diameter of about 80mm has a thickness of about 0.4 bandit (D = B—A). A fixed convex plate 77 is provided on both sides of the circular thin plate, and the reading sleeve 70 A central positioning post 75 that can be inserted into the central hole 41 of the disc is also protruded at the center, and the disc 40 can be tightly fixed to the reading sleeve 70 (with a thickness of A by means of the fixed convex plate 77 and the central positioning post 75). ), Such thickness can meet the requirements of 1.2 (B), and can also achieve the purpose of integrating two card specifications and applications.

In addition, in FIG. 7, when placing the disc in the present invention, in order to achieve the purpose that the disc 40 fits tightly in the reading sleeve 70, the outer dimensions of the disc 40 and the reading sleeve 70 need to be somewhat different. It is required that, in order to facilitate the placement and retrieval of the disc 40, the reading sleeve 70 of the present invention is specially made of a flexible material. If the disc 40 is to be placed or taken, only the reading sleeve is required. The fixing convex plate 77 of the disc 70 is slightly opened to both sides, so that the distance between the fixing convex plates 77 can be enlarged, and the bottom of the reading sleeve 70 is raised upward, thereby facilitating the placement of the disc 40 or The disc 40 is bounced up to achieve the purpose of placing or taking the disc 40.

Of course, according to the inventive concept of the present invention, it is also possible to directly design the disc 40 as cards having two different thicknesses, as shown in FIG. 3; it mainly sets the disc 40 as central regions of different thicknesses (solid lines (Shown) and both sides (shown in dotted lines), where the thickness of the central region is 1.2 bandits, and a CD reading surface 45 is provided on the central region to facilitate the use of the CD drive; 0.8mm thickness conforming to ISO 7816 specification, and a magnetic strip 47 (or IC chip 49) is provided on it to facilitate the use of the card, so the effect of integrating two card specifications can also be achieved.

In addition, FIG. 8 shows another preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the main structure of the present invention includes a reading sleeve 90, a disk 80, and a disk protective film 82. At least one surface of the disk 80 (or front and back) is provided with an appropriate chip such as an IC chip. 89 or the data reading area of the CD reading surface 85, and the center of the CD reading surface 85 of the disc 80 is also provided with a positioning hole 81, and the CD reading surface 85 is also provided with a protective layer similar to that of a general CD disc , Storage layer, transparent substrate, pits and lands. In addition, the reading sleeve 90 mainly fits the disk 80 at its appropriate position. The shape of the chisel is provided with a placement area 93. The placement area 93 with light transmission effect can also be matched with the positioning hole 81 of the CD reading surface 85 and a central positioning post 95 is convex. The central positioning post 95 can also be a smooth center. A cylinder or a central cylinder with at least one positioning convex tooth 955 on the top.

The main feature of this example is that a disc protective film 82 is provided, and the surface of the disc protective film 82 is preset with magnetic stripe 87, or characters, numbers, patterns, bumps or a combination of markers 86, and for matching Corresponding disk 80, therefore, a protective film positioning hole 84 and an exposed slot 88 that allows the disk IC chip 86 to be exposed are also formed in the appropriate position of the disk protective film 82. According to the user's use situation and actual needs, the magnetic strip 87 or various patterns, characters and embossed marks 86 can be formed on the surface of the disc protective film 82 in advance, and then the disc protective film 82 can be attached to the disc 80. In this way, without damaging the structure of the disc 80, the surface of the disc 80 is formed with markers 86 representing various meanings of use.

The thickness A1 of the disc 80 plus the thickness A2 of the disc protective film 82 may conform to the thickness of the ISO 7816 protocol specification, about 0.8mm (0.76mm- 0.82mm). For example, the thickness of the disc 80 is set to 0. 6mm, and the thickness of the disk protective film 82 can be 0.2mm, so the disk affixed to the disk protective film 82; 80 can also be swiped or inserted in a card reader such as a general card reader or card reader The card operates to read the data in the magnetic stripe 87 or the IC chip 89. Of course, the thickness D3 of the reading sleeve placement area 93 (the thickness B3 of the reading sleeve 90 minus the depth A3 of the placement area 93) is to match the thickness 80 of the disc 80, and the setting A1 + D3 can conform to the international standard CD The thickness of the sheet specification, for example, in this embodiment, the thickness A1 of the disc 80 is set to 0.6, the thickness D3 of the placement area 93 can be 0.6 bandit. Therefore, when the disc 80 with the disc protective film 82 is placed in the placement area 93, the CD reading surface 85 can be heightened by the thickness of the placement area 93 with a light transmission effect, and can be restored to conform to the international standard CD disc specifications. The thickness is, for example, about 1.2 ram, which is suitable for being used in a general CD-ROM drive or an optical disc reading slot, and performing data reading or burning operations on the CD reading surface 85, as shown in FIG. 9.

In addition, in FIG. 10, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, in order to cooperate with the magnetic stripe 87 of the disc 80, the magnetic stripe 87 is mainly provided on the surface of the disc 80 in this embodiment. Therefore, the width L2 of the disc protective film 82 can be designed to be not larger than the width L1 of the disc 80 minus the width L3 of the magnetic stripe 87, so that when the disc protective film 82 is attached to the disc 80, the disc magnetic stripe 87 Automatically exposed outside the disc protective film 82.

In addition, according to the actual needs of the user, the IC chip 89 may also be designed as the surface position of the disc 80 on the same surface as the CD reading surface 85, as shown by the dotted line 89. In addition, since the placement area 93 of the reading sleeve 90 is designed inwardly, the disc 80 can be stably placed in the placement area 93.
