Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a card capable of displaying data.

For example, in banking, a card system is used in which deposits are withdrawn using a card with card data recorded on a magnetic stripe, but when checking the balance of a deposit, the above-mentioned card must be inserted into an automatic teller machine each time. This has the drawback that balance inquiries are troublesome.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a data badge card that allows users to arbitrarily check the contents stored on the card without providing the card to the main body of the device, as in the above-mentioned example.

The present invention includes a memory circuit that stores data including value data in a card-like body, a display device that can display the stored contents, and a display device that reads out the data in the memory circuit when not connected to an external device. Since the card is equipped with a key input means for displaying the data on the device, it is convenient to be able to view the stored data whenever necessary without connecting the card to the device. By connecting it, it can be used as a card and its stored contents can be rewritten.

As a result, when the data badge card of this invention is used as an automatic payment machine card, it is convenient because the bank balance can be checked at any time and there is no need to carry the receipt. It does not need to be issued and can be omitted if necessary. In addition, by displaying not only the balance but also transaction data from the previous use up to the current balance, it can be used in place of a passbook.

Furthermore, when used as a stored air card, you can display the balance of advance payments for railways, supermarkets, etc.
When used as a mobile counter card, for example, it can be used as an expense management counter for each department using a copier, and when used as a flexible time card, it can be used to display the cumulative amount of flexible work hours, and as a credit card. When used, the credit amount can be displayed and the credit limit can be updated sequentially.

Additionally, this data badge card can be used in a wide range of areas.

An embodiment of the present invention having such characteristics will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

The drawings show data badge cards used in automatic teller machines for banking services, and in Figure 1, Figure 2,
The card 1 is formed into a thin card-like body by a front housing 2 and a gland housing 3, and one end of the front housing 2 is formed shorter than the corresponding end of the gland housing 3, and this part has the above-mentioned automatic An external terminal 4 connected to a payment machine is provided in an exposed manner.

A display 5 is provided on the upper end of the front housing 2, and display buttons 6 are provided on the lower end of the front housing 2. One button 6a displays the expiration date of the card, and the other button 6b displays the expiration date of the card. is operated to display transaction data on the display 5, and another button 6c is operated to display the balance on the display 5.

A board 7 is provided inside the housings 2 and 3, and the board 7 is configured to be connected to the external terminal 4, the display 5, and the display button 6, as well as an integrated circuit 8 and a power source. 9 are connected and configured,
Further, the above-mentioned integrated circuit 8 and power supply 9 are connected to the above-mentioned external terminal 4.

Note that the power source 9 described above is constituted by a rechargeable battery.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a card lock notch, which is used to lock the card 1 when the card is installed in an automatic payment machine.

FIG. 3 shows a control circuit, in which external terminals 4... are connected to an input/output section and a power supply 9, and input/output section 1
1 controls data input/output when the external terminal 4 of this card 1 is connected to an automatic teller machine.

The storage unit 12 is capable of writing and reading card data, and the card data includes data necessary for the card, such as account number, expiration date, set amount of transaction data, and deposit balance.

The operation unit 13 is composed of the above-mentioned display button 6,
The address of the storage section 12 is designated by the operation section 13, and the data in the storage section 12 is displayed on the display 5.

The card 1 configured as described above has an external terminal 4
is connected to an automatic payment machine, and data in the storage section 12 is read out under the control of the input/output section 11, whereby payment processing can be performed as a normal card.

At this time, the power supply 9 is charged by being supplied with electric charge from the automatic payment machine side, and update data among the transaction data and card data is written into the storage section 12 under the control of the input/output section 11.

Do not attach Card 1 above to the automatic payment machine,
For example, if you want to check your deposit balance, display button 6.
By operating c, the area of the deposit balance in the storage section 12 is addressed and read out, and the deposit balance is displayed on the display 5.

If it is desired to display transaction data for other expiration dates and set amounts, the display can be obtained by operating the display buttons 6a and 6b, respectively, in the same manner as described above.

Although the above embodiment has been described as a card used in an automatic teller machine, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
