  Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the card update system 1 of FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram for explaining the outline of the update card issuance procedure in the present embodiment. In FIG. 5, the card issuer 11 includes a card issuer and a card issuer device 10. The service provider 31 includes a service provider, a service provider device 30, and a card update device 40. The card user 21 includes a card user and the card user device 20.

  When the renewal deadline of the current card 60a approaches, the card issuer 11 notifies the card user 21 by mail or e-mail (S101). The card user 21 performs a card update procedure for the card issuer 11 (S102). The card issuer 11 notifies the service provider 31 that a renewal card is issued and the renewal deadline of the current card 60a (S103), and issues a renewal card 60b to the card user 21 (S104). Note that the card issuer 11 can identify the current card 60a when issuing the update card 60b, for example, the current card number, the card number of the update card 60b, and the number of each application installed in the current card 60a. Are written in the update card 60. Here, it is assumed that these pieces of information are written in the AP unit 64 of the update card 60b. Note that the card issuer 11 can specify the number of the application mounted on the current card 60a by a mounting permission application from the service provider 31 (a permission application for mounting the application on the IC card).

  Note that a period of time after the update card 60b is issued is a combined period in which both the current card 60a and the update card 60b can be used. For example, it is good also as a combined use period until the renewal time limit of the current card 60a.

  If the card user 21 presents the current card 60a to receive any service during the combined period (S105), the service provider 31 uses the renewal card 60b because the renewal deadline of the current card 60a is near. To the card user 21 (S106).

  When the card user 21 presents the update card 60b again to receive the service (S107), the service provider 31 confirms the validity of the update card 60b and is installed in the current card 60a. The written application is written in the update card 60b and the requested service is provided (S108).

  Next, processing executed by the card update device 40 in the procedure in FIG. 5 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining card update processing by the card updating apparatus.

  In step S201, the card information acquisition unit 41 receives information (hereinafter referred to as “card update information”) including the fact that the update card 61b is issued and the update deadline of the current card 60a from the card issuer device 10, and receives them. Save the information. This process corresponds to step S103 (FIG. 5).

The card number of the current card 60a read from the IC card reader / writer along with the PIN verification is transmitted to the card update device 40. The update deadline determination unit 42 refers to the card update information (information stored in S201) for the card number read by the IC card reader, so that the presented current card 60a is updated (predetermined until the update deadline). (S202). Note that the update deadline may be recorded on the current card 60a. In this case, the update time limit determination unit 42 may determine whether or not it is the update time based on the update time limit recorded on the current card 60a.

  If it is time to update the current card 60a, the user notification unit 43 prompts the card user 21 to use the update card 60b (S203). For example, the user notification unit 43 provides a service message such as a message indicating that the presented update card 60a is at the update time, a screen for selecting whether to replace the card on this occasion (hereinafter referred to as “selection screen”), and the like. The information is displayed on the display device of the provider device 30.

  When the card user 21 selects replacement of the card on the selection screen, a screen prompting to present the update card 60b is displayed. Therefore, when the card user 21 presents the update card 60b, the update card 60b is inserted into the reader / writer, and the update card determination unit 44 determines the validity of the update card 60b (S204). The validity is determined by verifying the correspondence between the current card 60a and the update card 60b. That is, if the card number of the current card 60a recorded in the AP section 64 of the update card 60b matches the card number of the current card 60a read from the current card 60a already presented, the validity of the update card 60b Is confirmed.

  When the validity of the update card 60b is confirmed, the application mounting unit 45 mounts the application used in the current card 60a on the AP units 62 and 63 of the update card 60b (S205). The application used on the current card 60a is determined based on the application number recorded on the update card 60b. However, an application mounted on the current card 60a may be determined based on the contents of the current card 60a. In this case, the card issuer 11 does not necessarily have to write the application number installed in the current card 60b in the update card 60a.

  In addition, after confirming that the application is normally loaded on the update card 60b, the card user 21 is prompted to re-present the current card 60a, and the process of stopping the service of the current card 60a is performed. Good.

  By the way, as the service provider device 30, not only a computer but also various devices capable of information processing may be used. For example, a multifunctional image processing apparatus or image forming apparatus called a multifunction peripheral or a multifunction peripheral may be used.

  In this case, when the current card 60a loaded with the confidential printing application is tricked into the multifunction device, a screen for prompting the card update is displayed on the operation panel of the multifunction device, and the confidential printing application 60b is displayed on the update card 60b on the spot. It is also possible to install.

  In addition, when the user device 20 logs in to a predetermined application using an IC card, if the current card 60a at the update time is deceived, a screen for prompting the card update is displayed on the display device of the user device 20, and The application may be mounted on the update card 60b in the field.

  As described above, according to the card update system 1 in the embodiment of the present invention, the application is transferred to the update card at the place where the service is received. Further, the application is migrated after the validity of the update card is confirmed. Therefore, the card renewal required for the physical service life can be safely and easily performed while maintaining the independent separation between the card issuer and the service provider.
