Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is based on information stored in a magnetic or IC card (hereinafter simply referred to as a card) and is used in a device (for example, a facility such as a ground or a gymnasium). The present invention relates to a card type control device for controlling the operation of an illumination lamp to be used).

[Conventional technology]

A certain frequency (for example, amount of money, time, etc.) is written in advance on the card used in the card type control device, and is lent or sold to the user of the device. The user can use the device by using this card.

For example, in the card type lighting control device, the user
An illumination lamp can be used by the card. When the user inserts the card into the card-type lighting control device, the frequency of the card and the unique number of the card at the time of insertion are stored in the memory section of the card-type lighting control device, the illumination lamp is turned on, and the card operation starts. When entering the card driving, the card is returned to the temporary user. Then, the frequency stored in the memory unit is subtracted according to the time the illumination lamp is used, and the user can use the illumination lamp until the frequency becomes “0”.

Next, when the user inserts the card again to turn off the illumination lamp, it is determined whether the unique number of the card and the unique number stored in the memory unit are the same. The usage frequency is subtracted from the starting frequency, and the remaining frequency is written on the card and returned.

As described above, in the conventional card-type lighting control device, it is necessary to determine whether or not the card inserted at the start of use of the device is the same as the card inserted after the end of use of the device, in order to prevent unauthorized use of the card. A unique number that is different for each card is written on the card used in this device.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the conventional card type lighting control device, in order to write a unique number for each card, it is necessary to change the write data of each card at the time of card initialization. For this reason, the conventional card-type lighting control device has drawbacks in that writing work at the time of card initialization is troublesome and management of the card number is troublesome.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and whether the card inserted at the end of use of the device is the same as the card inserted at the start of use of the device without writing a unique number for each card at the time of card initialization. An object of the present invention is to provide a card type control device capable of easily and surely determining whether or not it is.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises a reading unit for reading information on a magnetic or IC card, a writing unit for writing information on the card, and a conveying unit for conveying the card, and inserting the card. The card-type control device, which operates the device by the above, temporarily returns the card to the user of the device while the device is operating, and stops the operation of the device when the card that has been temporarily returned is reinserted. The unique number generating means for generating, the unique number control means for writing the numerical data generated by the unique number generating means into the card inserted at the start of use of the device through the writing means as the unique number data, and the unique number controlling means. A storage unit for storing the unique number data written in the card, and a unique number data of the re-inserted card read by the reading unit. And a determination means for determining whether or not it is the same as the unique number data of the card at the start of use of the device stored in the storage means, and the unique number of the reinserted card is stored in the storage means It is configured to stop the operation of the device when the unique number of the card at the start of use is the same.

[Action]

According to the present invention, when the card is inserted into the apparatus by the above means, the unique number control means takes out the numerical data at the time of inserting the card from the unique number generating means, and the numerical data is written as the unique number data through the writing means to the card. And the unique number data is stored in the storage means and the card is temporarily returned to the user via the transportation means. Then, when the card is inserted again to end the use of the device, the determining means determines whether or not the unique number data stored in the storage means at the start of use of the device and the unique number data of the reinserted card match. By doing so, it is determined whether or not the reinserted card is the same as the card inserted at the start of use of the apparatus. Therefore, it becomes unnecessary to write the unique number data for each card at the time of card initialization.
