Description

  The present invention relates to a card reader / writer device, an insertion guide plate, a control method, and a program for reading or writing data of a contact card and a non-contact card.

In recent years, not only contact cards such as magnetic cards and contact IC (Integrated Circuit) cards, but also contactless cards such as contactless IC cards have been used as payment cards. . Accordingly, card reader / writer devices used for toll collection on highways and the like are also required to support both contact-type cards and non-contact-type cards.
Conventional card reader / writer devices corresponding to contact type cards and non-contact type cards can be roughly classified into the following two types.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a configuration of a card reader / writer device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The card reader / writer device 100 includes a contact type card reader / writer unit 110 and an insertion guide plate 120.
The contact card reader / writer unit 110 takes in the card 10 and reads or writes data if the card 10 is a contact card such as a magnetic card or a contact IC card.

The IC contact unit 114 is provided inside the contact type card reader / writer unit 110. If the card 10 is a contact type IC card, a process of reading data from the IC chip of the card 10 or a process of writing data to the IC chip is performed. Do.
The contact-type card processing unit 115 controls reading or writing of data from the card 10 via the magnetic head unit 112 or the IC contact unit 113.

The insertion guide plate 120 includes an antenna unit 121, a non-contact card processing unit 122 (non-contact communication determination unit), and an LED (Light Emitting Diode) 123 (notification unit).
In addition, the insertion guide plate 120 is a plate formed of a synthetic resin, for example, and includes a circuit board having functions of an antenna unit 121, a non-contact card processing unit 122, and an LED 123 as shown in FIG. To do. 1 shows an example in which the circuit board is embedded in the insertion guide plate 120. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the card 10 and the circuit board are included in a state where the card 10 is placed on the insertion plate 120. If communication with the antenna unit 121 is possible, a circuit board such as a lower part of the insertion guide plate 120 may be installed outside the insertion guide plate 120.
The antenna unit 121 communicates with the card 10 by RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or the like if the card 10 is a contactless card.
The non-contact card processing unit 122 reads or writes data from the card 10 via the antenna unit 121.
The LED 123 is lit when the non-contact card processing unit 122 completes reading or writing of data and notifies the completion of the processing, and flashes when the non-contact type card processing unit 122 fails to read or write data and an error occurs. Is notified.

The card reader / writer device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a magnetic head unit 113 that reads or writes data of a contact card, an IC contact unit 114, a contact card processing unit 115, a magnetic head unit 113, and an IC contact unit. 114, a conveyance unit 112 that automatically conveys a card to a communicable position, an insertion guide plate 120 that is installed outside the conveyance unit 112 and guides insertion of the card into the conveyance unit 112, and is not in contact with the insertion guide plate 120 The antenna unit 121 is installed at a position where communication with the non-contact type card is possible with the type card placed, and the data of the non-contact type card is read via the antenna unit 121. Alternatively, a non-contact card processing unit 122 that performs writing is provided.
With such a configuration, the card reader / writer device 100 realizes quick processing in reading or writing of a card.

Next, the operation of the card reader / writer device 100 will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the card reader / writer device.
The non-contact type card processing unit 122 in the insertion guide plate 120 of the card reader / writer device 100 intermittently polls the card 10 via the antenna unit 121 (step S1). When the contactless card processing unit 122 performs polling, the card 10 determines whether or not there is a response to the polling from the card 10 (step S2).
When it is determined that there is a response to polling (step S2: YES), the non-contact card processing unit 122 communicates with the card 10 via the antenna 121 to read or write data (step S3). The determination that there is a response to polling is performed when the user places the card 10 that is a contactless card on the insertion guide plate 120 and the card 10 transmits a response to polling.
When the non-contact card processing unit 122 reads or writes data on the card 10, the LED 123 is turned on to notify the user of the completion of processing (step S4). When the LED 123 is lit, the card reader / writer device 100 ends the processing with the card 10.
Thus, when the card 10 is a non-contact type card, the non-contact type card processing unit 122 of the card reader / writer device 100 is provided inside the insertion guide plate 120 installed outside the transport unit 112. Communication with the card 10 is performed via the antenna unit 121. Therefore, data can be read or written without taking the card 10 into the card reader / writer device 100. Thereby, in the process of the card | curd 10, the time of taking in and discharge | emission processing does not take.

If the contactless card processing unit 122 determines in step S2 that there is no response to polling (step S2: NO), the insertion slot sensor 111 of the contact type card reader / writer unit 110 indicates that the card 10 is in the card insertion slot. It is determined whether or not it exists (step S5). Whether or not a card is present at the card insertion slot is determined as follows, for example.
When the insertion slot sensor 111 is an optical sensor, the insertion slot sensor 111 detects that light from an LED (not shown) disposed opposite to the insertion slot sensor 111 and the card 10 becomes a card insertion slot. When it is determined that the card 10 does not exist and the insertion slot sensor 111 cannot detect light from an LED (not shown), it is determined that the card 10 is present at the card insertion slot.
When the insertion port sensor 111 is a pressure sensor, the insertion port sensor 111 detects whether or not the card 10 is in contact with the conveyance unit 112 and detects contact between the conveyance unit 112 and the card 10. When it is determined that the card 10 is present at the card insertion slot and contact between the transport unit 112 and the card 10 cannot be detected, it is determined that the card 10 does not exist at the card insertion slot.

  If the insertion slot sensor 111 determines in step S3 that the card 10 does not exist in the card insertion slot (step S5: NO), the process returns to step S1 and polling is continued. The determination that the card 10 does not exist at the card insertion slot is made when the user does not place the card 10 on the insertion guide plate 120.

  When the insertion slot sensor 111 determines in step S3 that the card 10 is present in the card insertion slot (step S5: YES), the transport unit 112 can read the card 10 from the magnetic head unit 113 and the IC contact unit 114. It is conveyed to the position (step S6). When the transport unit 112 transports the card 10, the contact card processing unit 115 turns off the power of the antenna unit 121 and the non-contact card processing unit 122 (step S7). In this process, the radio waves generated by the antenna unit 121 and the non-contact card processing unit 122 may be disturbing radio waves for communication by the magnetic head unit 113 or the IC contact unit 114. We are going to eliminate radio waves that can become radio waves.

When the power of the antenna unit 121 and the non-contact type card processing unit 122 is turned off, the contact type card processing unit 115 reads the data of the card 10 through the magnetic head unit 113 and determines whether there is a response from the card 10 (data of the data). Presence / absence) is determined (step S8).
When the contact-type card processing unit 115 determines that there is no response from the card 10 via the magnetic head unit 113 (step S8: NO), the contact-type card processing unit 115 communicates with the card 10 via the IC contact unit 114. Whether or not there is a response is determined (step S9).

The contact-type card processing unit 115 determines that there is a response from the card 10 via the magnetic head unit 113 in step S8 (step S8: YES), or a response from the card 10 via the IC contact unit 114 in step S9. If it is determined that there is a card (step S9: YES), data is read from or written to the card 10 via the magnetic head part 113 or communicated with the card 10 via the IC contact part 114 (step S9: YES). Step S10).
When the contact-type card processing unit 115 reads or writes data on the card 10, the transport unit 112 transports the card 10 to the insertion guide plate 120 (step S11). When the transport unit 112 transports the card 10, the contact type card processing unit 115 turns on the power of the antenna unit 121 and the non-contact type card processing unit 122 (step S12).
When the contact card processing unit 115 turns on the power of the antenna unit 121 and the non-contact card processing unit 122, the LED 123 is lit to notify the user of the completion of processing (step S13). When the LED 123 is lit, the card reader / writer device 100 ends the processing with the card 10. After the process is completed, the user picks up the card from the insertion guide plate 120.

When the contact-type card processing unit 115 determines in step S9 that there is no response from the card 10 via the IC contact unit 114 (step S9: NO), that is, the data cannot be confirmed by the magnetic head unit 113, and the IC contact unit If communication with the card 10 is not possible via 114, the transport unit 112 transports the card 10 to the insertion guide plate 120 (step S14). When the transport unit 112 transports the card 10, the contact card processing unit 115 turns on the power of the antenna unit 121 and the non-contact card processing unit 122 (step S15).
When the contact-type card processing unit 115 turns on the power of the antenna unit 121 and the non-contact type card processing unit 122, the non-contact type card processing unit 122 communicates with the card 10 via the antenna unit 121, and from the card 10 Whether or not there is a response is determined (step S16).

Here, the reason why the contactless card processing unit 122 performs communication again in step S16 will be described.
First, there are the following four reasons why the contactless card processing unit 122 fails in communication with the card 10 in steps S8 and S9 in the contactless card processing unit 122 in step S2.
First, there is a case where the card 10 is neither a contactless card nor a contact card. For example, this is a case where the card 10 is a type of card that does not perform communication such as a business card.
Secondly, there is a case where the card 10 is broken. For example, the antenna coil built in the non-contact card is damaged, or the data on the magnetic card is damaged under the influence of some magnetic force.
Third, the card 10 is a contact card and the insertion direction is wrong.
Fourth, the card 10 is a contactless card and communication in step S2 has failed. The communication failure of the contactless card is because the card 10 moves and the communication becomes unstable because the card 10 is placed on the insertion guide plate 120 by a user operation when the contactless card processing unit 122 performs communication. May occur.
Therefore, in order to eliminate the communication failure due to the fourth reason described above, communication by the non-contact card processing unit 122 is attempted again in step S16.

If the non-contact card processing unit 122 determines that there is a response from the card 10 in step S16 (step S16: YES), it communicates with the card 10 via the antenna 121 to read or write data (step S17). ).
When the non-contact card processing unit 122 reads or writes data on the card 10, the LED 123 is turned on to notify the user of the completion of processing (step S18). When the LED 123 is lit, the card reader / writer device 100 ends the processing with the card 10.

  If the non-contact card processing unit 122 determines in step S16 that there is no response from the card 10 (step S16: NO), the LED 123 blinks to notify the user of the occurrence of an error (step S19). When the LED 123 blinks, the card reader / writer device 100 ends the processing with the card 10. After the process is completed, the user picks up the card 10 from the insertion guide plate 120. At this time, since the LED 123 is blinking, the user can determine that the card 10 has failed to communicate for any of the first to third reasons described above.

Thus, according to the present embodiment, when the card 10 is a non-contact card, the non-contact card processing unit 122 of the card reader / writer device 100 is inserted outside the transport unit 112. The communication with the card 10 is performed via the antenna unit 121 provided in 120. Therefore, data can be read or written without taking the card 10 into the card reader / writer device 100. Thereby, in the process of the card | curd 10, the time of taking-in and discharge | emission processes does not take.
When the card 10 is a contact card, the transport unit 112 transports the card 10 to the contact card processing unit 115 via the insertion guide plate 120, and the contact card processing unit 115 communicates with the card 10. Do. Therefore, the user can process the card without determining whether the card 10 is a contact card or a contactless card. Thereby, the user can perform a quick process.

As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to the above, and various design changes and the like can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is possible to
For example, in the present embodiment, the case where the LED 123 notifies the completion of communication or the occurrence of an error has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other notification means such as a buzzer or a liquid crystal screen are used to notify the completion of communication or the occurrence of an error. You may do it.

  In the present embodiment, the case has been described in which the contactless card processing unit 122 performs communication with the card 10 by intermittently performing polling. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the contactless card processing unit 122 may perform communication with the card when the insertion port sensor 111 detects the card 10 without performing intermittent polling. Thereby, since communication after the card | curd 10 is fixed can be performed, communication can be stabilized.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the contactless card processing unit 122 communicates with the card 10 when the card 10 is inserted and ejected is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only when the card 10 is inserted or ejected. The non-contact card processing unit 122 may communicate only at times.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the card 10 transported by the transport unit 112 from the insertion guide plate 120 into the contact card reader / writer unit 110 is contacted by the transport unit 112 after the processing by the contact card processing unit 115 is completed. Although the case where the reader / writer unit 112 transports from the inside to the insertion guide plate 120 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the contact type card reader / writer unit 110 includes a card discharge port in addition to the card insertion port.
