Description

A CREDIT CARD EQUIPPED LED LAMP
BACKGROUND OF THE UTILITY MODEL 1. Field of the Utility model
This utility model relates to a credit card that is equipped with an LED lamp, which enables various kinds of information to be inputted into an RF integrated circuit within the credit card and visually senses the information status of the credit card using the LED lamp.
2. Description of the Background Art Generally, credit cards are widely circulated and various kinds of information are inputted into them.
The credit cards that are currently in use contain only simple information. Thus, it is impossible to input various information into tliem. In addition, since existing credit cards need to be directly passed one by one through a card reader, the user faces the problem of taking out the credit cards from his/her purse.
Furthermore, since a detector is required to certify the information status of the credit card, the user cannot deterrnine the status of his/her credit card with the naked eye.
Finally, since there are no means of controlling the use of the credit card by another person, it can cause credit sales problems. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
The objective of the utility model is to provide a credit card that enables various kinds of information to be inputted into an RF integrated circuit within the credit card, thus allowing it to be used for several functions. Another objective of the utility model is to provide a credit card that easily shows its status and other irrformation with the naked eye using an LED lamp.
The final objective of the utility model is to provide a credit card that would prevent other persons from using it through a fingerprint-sensing plate on the credit card.
To accomplish the abovementioned objectives, a utility model is presented herein for a credit card comprising of an RF integrated circuit mounted within the credit card and an LED lamp that is electronically connected to the RF integrated circuit. The surface of the LED lamp is mounted for exposure to the outside of the credit card.
Preferably, the credit card of the utihty model is further comprised of a finge rint- sensing device connected to the RF integrated circuit within the credit card.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND ILLUSTRATIONS
The abovementioned objectives, features and advantages of the utihty model will be apparent from the following detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the utihty model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE UTILITY MODEL Fig. 1 is a partial cutaway view of the utihty model.
Referring to Fig. 1, the utility model constitutes a credit card (C) prepared by laying an inner film (la) and an outer film (lb). An RF integrated circuit (2) connected to a microcomputer for the inputting of information, such as the identification number, sum of money aid others, is attached to the inner side of the credit card (C). Furthermore, a fingerprint-sensing device (3), an LED lamp (4) and an antenna (5) are attached to the inner side of the credit card (C), and are electronically connected to the RF integrated circuit (2).
The LED lamp (4) is mounted to expose its surface. The utihty model having the abovementioned components is used after the credit card (C) has been issued in the usual manner. If a user places his/finger on the sensing plate (3a) of the fingerprint-sensing device (3), a detecting section (3b) senses the fingerprint. Then, if the sensed fingerprint is identical to a previously inputted and stored fingerprint, a signal is transmitted to the RF integrated circuit (2). In the RF integrated circuit (2), the sum of money and other data are calculated by a separate checking system, wliich is not shown in Fig. 1, which stores various kinds of information about the credit card such as the available balance and others. Furthermore, the LED lamp (4) allows the user to determine with the naked eye the status of the credit card, such as whether it had been used, the balance, and the used number, through a flickering signal. If the number of LED lamps (4) is increased, it can be used more effectively. Specifically, the signal transmitted from the outside enables the user to identify with the naked eye whether or not the various messages transferred through the credit card (C) exist by using the LED lamp (4).
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
From the foregoing description, the credit card of the utility model has the function of preventing forgeries by putting an RF integrated circuit within the credit card. Furthermore, the credit card prevents other persons from using the credit card without permission.
Finally, the utility model enables the user to easily obtain various kinds of information with the naked eye using the LED lamp.
