Description

  The present invention relates to an information card with a skimming prevention function that is carried in a wallet.

In recent years, various information has been flooded around us.
IT information on personal computers, mobile phones, etc., magnetic information on magnetic cards, electromagnetic information on electromagnetic cards (commonly known as IC cards), printed information on printed matter, etc., but it is important how to receive such information efficiently. .

  In particular, printed information by printed materials is overflowing with familiarity, and most of them are not used effectively and are wasted. For example, pamphlets, various tickets, flyers, etc. placed in financial institutions are only discarded after use.

  As electromagnetic information, we have electromagnetic cards called IC cards such as cash cards and credit cards in the wallet. These are confidential matters as personal information, and their security is important. Security by self-responsibility has become an important era, especially with the increasing crime of illegally acquiring data called so-called skimming.

  As described above, information on printed matter is wasteful, and security is important for electromagnetic information.

  In order to make it easier for individuals to use the printed information distributed effectively, the present invention makes it easy to carry printed matter containing printed information by adding an effective shape and an additional function for preventing skimming to the information medium. At the same time, it aims to protect the electromagnetic information possessed by individuals.

  Therefore, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a composite sheet material that can be printed on both sides of a paper sheet material or a resin sheet material such as PP (polypropylene), with aluminum vapor deposition or aluminum stays attached to them. The shape was almost the same as that of banknotes.

The operation of the above problem solving means is as follows.
That is, the information card can be distributed by printing information on both sides of the composite sheet material.

  Furthermore, the composite sheet material can be put in a personal wallet by forming it in substantially the same shape as a bill. This makes it possible to carry information in a personal wallet.

  Moreover, an electromagnetic wave shielding effect can be obtained by providing an aluminum vapor deposition part or an aluminum foil part in a part of the composite sheet material.

  In producing a composite sheet material having these functions, it is not necessary to develop a special material, and a composite sheet material distributed in the market may be used as it is. In particular, various quantities of composite sheet materials in which a part of the material is provided with an aluminum deposition part or an aluminum stay part are sold, and a processing line from printing to molding has been established.

  As for the electromagnetic wave shielding effect by aluminum material, it is well known that it has an excellent electromagnetic wave (radio wave) shielding effect in the practical frequency band, without needing to show the data described later. It is used as an electromagnetic shielding material.

  As described above, the information card with a skimming prevention function of the present invention can be always put in the wallet together with the bill by making the shape similar to that of the bill. This makes it possible for an individual to carry print information to be transmitted.

  In addition, by using aluminum material in part, the electromagnetic wave shielding effect can be obtained, and the electromagnetic information on the cash card or credit card in the wallet is not read by unauthorized electromagnetic waves (radio waves) from the outside. it can. That is, it is possible to prevent skimming damage that has increased rapidly in recent years.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an information card with a skimming prevention function (hereinafter referred to as an information card), which has a shape substantially the same as a bill. The front surface is a printable front side print surface 3, and the back side is a printable back side print surface 4. On the front and back printing surfaces 3 and 4, front side printing 5 and back side printing 6 are printed as information.

  FIG. 2A is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1 of the information card 1, and is from a composite sheet material 2 in which an aluminum vapor-deposited layer or an aluminum foil layer 2a and a resin sheet 2b such as PP (polypropylene) are bonded together. It is configured.

  FIG. 2B is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1 of the information card, and is composed of a composite sheet material 2 in which an aluminum deposited layer or an aluminum stay layer 2a and a paper sheet material 2c are bonded together.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the information card 1 is put in a folded wallet.

  The folded wallet 7 is formed with a bill insertion opening 7a for inserting bills 8 and a card storage portion 7b for storing an electromagnetic card 9 (hereinafter referred to as an electromagnetic card) such as a cash card or a credit card. .

  The information card 1 is put in the wallet 7 like the banknote 8. The composite sheet material 2 constituting the information card 1 has the same thickness as that of the banknote 8, and is sufficiently flexible to bend similarly to the banknote 8, and does not interfere with the banknote 8.

  FIG. 4 is a plan view of the state in which the information card 1 enters the folded wallet 7 as viewed from the side of the bill insertion opening 7a of the wallet, as shown in FIG.

  The information card 1 mixed with the bills 8 is arranged so as to surround the electromagnetic card 9 in a wallet 7 folded in half.

  FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a state in which the illegal electromagnetic wave 10 is shielded with the information card 1 in the folded wallet 7.

  Since the information card 1 is arranged so as to surround the electromagnetic card 9, even if an illegal electromagnetic wave 10 is emitted to the electromagnetic card 9, the aluminum vapor deposition layer or the aluminum foil layer 2 a of the information card 1 shields the electromagnetic wave, so that the electromagnetic The skimming of information from the card 9 is prevented.

  Here, in the case of electromagnetic waves of medium frequency, it is well known that a generally known metal material such as aluminum is very effective as an electromagnetic shielding material. Since most of the cards that are also distributed in the electromagnetic card 9 activate and use an internal circuit in a medium frequency band of several Hz to several hundred MHz, the shielding effect of the information card 1 against the illegal electromagnetic wave 10 is large.

  FIG. 6 shows electric field shielding characteristics and magnetic field shielding characteristics of the composite sheet material 2 used for the information card 1 with a skimming prevention function.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the electromagnetic shielding performance was measured for a plurality of composite sheet materials 2 sold in large quantities, and an average electric field attenuation factor of 99.9% or more was obtained in the medium frequency band. As is well known in the art, a field attenuation factor of 90% or more is very effective as an electromagnetic shielding material.

  However, there is almost no effect on the static magnetic field, and a shielding effect cannot be expected for a so-called magnetic card.

  As described above, the information card with a skimming prevention function according to the present invention has a shape that makes it easy to carry print information to be provided to the receiving side, so that it can be reduced that it is wasted.

  Furthermore, by adding the added value of the skimming prevention function to the information card with the skimming prevention function, the information card can be more easily accepted.

  Moreover, when producing this information card, there is no need for special materials and processes, and mass-produced products distributed in the market can be used, and the information processing card can be manufactured at low cost.

  Information card with skimming prevention function showing an embodiment of the present invention   (A) The AA line expanded sectional view in FIG. 1 of the information card with the skimming prevention function (b) The AA line enlarged sectional view of the information card with the skimming prevention function using another material in FIG.   The perspective view which showed the state which puts the information card with the skimming prevention function in a two-fold wallet   The top view which looked at the state where the information card with the same skimming prevention function was put in a double-folded wallet from the opening side of the wallet   The top view which showed the state which shields an improper electromagnetic wave in the state where the information card with the same skimming prevention function was put in a double-folded wallet   Electric field shielding characteristic and magnetic field shielding characteristic of composite sheet used for information card with same skimming prevention function
