判断することができる。 6 and 7 show examples of key symbols on the front and back sides of the memory card 2. On the front side, a key symbol corresponding to the store mode in which data is input and written to the RAM 25 is printed, and on the back side, the key symbol is printed.
A key symbol corresponding to the read mode in which data is read from the RAM 25 and displayed is printed.
By the circuit shown in Fig. 8, this memory card 2
When the connector terminal group 8 on the front side is connected to the information processing main body 1 and when the connector terminal group 9 on the back side is connected to the information processing main body 1, even if the CPU 5 tries to access the same address, the ROM 2
The address data input to 4 is different. Therefore, when the memory card 2 is inserted into the information processing main body 1 with its surface facing up and a command is entered from the transparent touch key 4 in accordance with the key symbol for the store mode, the application program for processing the store mode is loaded from the ROM 24. read and executed. In addition, when the memory card 2 is inserted into the information processing main body 1 with the back facing up and a command is input from the transparent touch key 4 according to the key symbol of the read mode, the application program that processes this read mode is read from the ROM 24. issued and executed. The same address is designated for the RAM 25 whether the memory card 2 is on the front or back side. Therefore, common data can be used when executing application programs in different store and read modes, so for example, data written in store mode can be read out as is in read mode, and the memory card The functions of electronic devices can be greatly improved. In this case, the user can see at a glance whether the memory card 2 is installed in the information processing unit 1 with the front side up or the back side up, so the user can check whether the process currently being executed is in store mode or read mode. can be easily determined.

ザーにとつて操作の正確さが増大する。<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, in the present invention, a memory card having a built-in first memory storing different types of application programs corresponding to key symbols on the front side and key symbols on the back side is used. Since different application programs can be executed depending on the direction in which the memory card is installed in the information processing main body, different application programs can be executed with a single memory card. Moreover, the same address of the second memory for data storage is specified by the information processing unit regardless of the orientation in which the card is installed, so common data can be used in different application programs, and the memory card It can enhance the functionality of electronic devices. In addition, the processing mode currently being executed can be easily determined by the key symbol that is visible when the memory card is inserted into the information processing main body, which increases the accuracy of operation for the user.

とするメモリーカード電子機器。1. An information processing body having an arithmetic processing means and a transparent touch key input means, and a card having a printed key symbol and a built-in first memory in which an application program is stored and a second memory in which various data are stored. The card is removably attached to the information processing main body, and the arithmetic processing means executes the application program in response to a key input according to the key symbol visible through the transparent touch key input means. In the memory card electronic device, the card has different key symbols printed on both the front and back sides, and different types of applications corresponding to the key symbols on the front side and the key symbol on the back side, respectively. The card is equipped with the first memory storing programs, and the second memory storing data related to each application program or data resulting from the execution of each application program, and this card is connected to the information processing main body. When the card is inserted, the corresponding application program is selected and executed depending on whether the front or back side of the card is facing upward, and regardless of the orientation in which the card is inserted, the corresponding application program is selected and executed from the information processing main body regardless of the orientation of the card. A memory card electronic device characterized in that the same address of the second memory is specified.
