Further, in the above-described application example 4, it is possible to set not only availability but also a usable time zone.

  In the application example 4, the card processing devices 204-1 to 204-3 may communicate with a plurality of contactless cards having different card standards as in the application example 1 described above. In this case, each of the reader corresponding devices 105-1 to 105-3 includes a communication unit for each card standard, like the reader communication unit 31 of FIG. Further, the card processing devices 204-1 to 204-3 have a communication unit for each card standard, similarly to the card communication unit 81 of FIG.

That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the reader corresponding device 106 corresponds to, for example, the signal received from the card reader device and the response information received from the non-contact card 400 in addition to the configuration provided in the reader compatible device 101 of FIG. 1. A cache information storage unit 55 is also provided for storing the information. In addition, the control unit 16 of the reader corresponding device 106 deletes the response information in the cache information storage unit 55 when a predetermined time has elapsed since the response information was written in the cache information storage unit 55.

By storing as a time cache, the traffic amount of the network 500 can be reduced. Further, there is an effect that it is possible to shorten the time from when the signal is received from the card reader device to when the reader corresponding device 106 transmits the response signal.

Further, the reader corresponding device 106 may determine whether or not the response information stored in the cache information storage unit 55 can be transmitted to the card reader device. For example, in a building equipped with a plurality of entry / exit management card reader devices, once the response information is received from the contactless card, the response information is stored for a predetermined period. The determination that information is not stored as a cache or is not read from the cache information storage unit 55 is determined based on the type of service. Further, it may be set for each user whether or not the response information is stored as a cache.

In the above-described basic embodiment, application examples 1 to 4 and reader-compatible device 106, a non-contact card has been described as an example of a card to be read at a location different from the location of the card reader. Even a contact type card is applicable. Further, even a combination card having both a non-contact type and a contact type is applicable.
In addition, as described above, there is an effect that the card can be used outside the office while the card is stored at home or the like. Further, it is possible to avoid carrying the card, and it is possible to prevent the card from being lost when the card is dropped. In addition, when the user owns a plurality of cards, there is an effect that, when the card is used, there is no need to take out the plurality of cards owned by the user and select a target card from the plurality of cards.
