Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized use of cards. A first recording area in which first attribute information of a card holder is recorded, and a second recording area in which conversion information obtained by converting the first attribute information based on a predetermined logic is recorded. And is provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a prepaid card suitable for use when it is determined that a card is forged and is illegally used.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a method for discriminating forgery or unauthorized use of a prepaid card, the personal identification number of the card holder is recorded in an information recording area such as a magnetic stripe formed on the card, and the user inputs it when using the card. A method is generally used in which the identified personal identification number is compared with the personal identification number recorded on the magnetic stripe to determine whether or not the user is an authorized user.

In addition, a method is generally used in which a hologram, which is generally difficult to manufacture, is formed on a card to visually determine whether or not the card is a real card.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional card described above has a problem in that a card forger can also copy (copy) a magnetic stripe, and many forged cards appear.

In addition, like the magnetic stripe, holograms have also been duplicated, and nowadays, the technical level of forgery is improved, and the difference between a real hologram and a forgery hologram is visually discriminated. There was a problem that I could not do it.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a prepaid card which is difficult to forge.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, a prepaid card according to the present invention comprises a first recording area in which first attribute information of a holder of a prepaid card is recorded, and A second recording area in which conversion information obtained by converting the first attribute information based on a predetermined logic is recorded.

[0008]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, it becomes difficult to analyze the information on the card, and the forgery of the card can be suppressed.

[0009]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the structure of an embodiment of a card according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows the back surface of the card, and since the front surface is the same as the conventional one, the illustration is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the card 11 is formed with a magnetic stripe 12 which is a magnetic information recording area. The magnetic stripe 12 is recorded with information consisting of character strings of X1, X2, X3, X4, ..., Xn (hereinafter referred to as X column). Attribute information such as the registration number of the holder of the card 11 and the personal identification number of the card are recorded in the X column.

A two-dimensional bar code 13 is formed on the lower left side of the card 11. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the two-dimensional bar code 13. The two-dimensional bar code 13 has information recorded in a two-dimensional area. The two-dimensional bar code 13 may be printed with either a visible ink or an invisible ink, but it is preferable to use an invisible ink that has a masking effect.

The character strings of the information recorded in the two-dimensional bar code 13 are A1, A2, A3, A4, ..., An (hereinafter, referred to as A line) and B1, B2, B3. , Bn (hereinafter, referred to as column B). In column A, information about the physical characteristics of the cardholder (skin, hair, eye color, nationality, height, weight, etc.) is recorded. Further, in the B column, information obtained by converting the information in the X column recorded in the magnetic stripe 12 according to a predetermined logic is recorded.

Further, on the lower right side of the card 11, a machine-readable hologram 14 and a magnetic barcode 15 which can be mechanically read by a card reader or the like are formed. Information such as the logic coefficient is recorded on the machine-readable hologram 14 and the magnetic barcode 15. The machine readable hologram 14 and the magnetic barcode 15 are formed as needed to further improve the counterfeiting prevention effect of the card 11.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the prepaid card of the present invention, the card has the first recording area and the second recording area in which the information converted by the predetermined logic is recorded. It becomes difficult to analyze the information on the card and the counterfeit of the card can be suppressed.
