Abstract

Case (10) for a memory-type bankers card, memory-type credit card, prepayment card or the like including a compartment for accommodating the said card, electrical contact means arranged in the said compartment so as to be able to establish an electrical contact between the microprocessor of the memory card and the computerised facilities of the case. The case has display means available for displaying the information contained in this memory and processed by the computerised facilities of the case.

Description

La présente invention concerne un étui pour une carte bancaire à mémoire, une carte de crédit à mémoire, une carte à prépaiement ou analogue. The present invention relates to a case for a memory bank card, a memory credit card, a prepayment card or the like.

Les cartes bancaires à mémoire, les cartes de crédit à mémoire, les cartes à prépaiement ou analogues présentent, pour leur utilisateur, le grave inconvénient de ne pas comporter d'indication visuelle du montant des opérations effectuées et/ou du solde restant disponible, de sorte que l'utilisateur doit tenir, indépendamment, un relevé des opérations qu'il effectue ou bien, se rendre à un guichet de pour lire dans la mémoire de la carte, les opérations effectuées et/ou le solde. Memory credit cards, memory credit cards, prepayment cards or the like present, for their user, the serious drawback of not having a visual indication of the amount of the operations carried out and / or of the remaining balance available, so that the user must maintain, independently, a statement of the operations which he carries out or, go to a counter to read in the memory of the card, the operations carried out and / or the balance.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, grâce à la réalisation d'un étui pour carte bancaire, carte de crédit, carte à prépaiement ou analogue comportant un compartiment adapté pour recevoir ladite carte, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens de contact disposés dans ledit compartiment, de façon à permettre les contacts électriques nécessaires entre l'étui et le microprocesseur contenant la mémoire de ladite carte. The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks, by making a case for a bank card, credit card, prepayment card or the like comprising a compartment adapted to receive said card, characterized in that it comprises contact means arranged in said compartment, so as to allow the necessary electrical contacts between the case and the microprocessor containing the memory of said card.

L'étui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte des moyens informatiques permettant de lire le contenu de la mémoire de ladite carte, et des moyens d'affichage pour afficher le contenu de la mémoire de la carte. The case is characterized in that it comprises computer means making it possible to read the content of the memory of said card, and display means for displaying the content of the memory of the card.

De préférence, le contenu de la mémoire de la carte peut être appelé et affiché au moyen du clavier de l'étui. Preferably, the content of the card memory can be called up and displayed using the keyboard of the case.

L'utilisateur peut donc, à tout moment, tant que la carte est dans son étui, afficher le contenu de la mémoire et connaître ainsi le solde de son compte, ainsi que la date et le montant des opérations effectuées, enregistrées par la mémoire de la carte lors de son utilisation si, bien sûr, le microprocesseur de la carte le permet.  The user can therefore, at any time, as long as the card is in its case, display the contents of the memory and thus know the balance of his account, as well as the date and the amount of the operations carried out, recorded by the memory of the card during its use if, of course, the microprocessor of the card allows it.

D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention apparaitront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, et à ltexamen du dessin annexé dans lequel
- La Fig.1 est une vue en plan de face de ltétui selon l'invention.Other characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, and on examining the appended drawing in which
- Fig.1 is a front plan view of the case according to the invention.

- La Fig.2 est une vue en bout, de droite de l'étui de la Fig.1, et
- La Fig.3 est une vue en plan, de la face arrière de l'étui de la Fi g.1
Sur la Fig.1, on a représenté un étui (10) pour carte bancaire ou analogue (non représentée). La face supérieure de l'étui est formée par la face supérieure d'une calculette (12) incorporée à l'étui. La calculette (12) est de type classique, à l'exception des modifications nécessaires à la mise en oeuvre de l'invention et qui seront expliquées ci-après. Cette calculette (12) comporte un clavier (14), un écran d'affichage (16) de données, un écran d'affichage (18) de date et un interrupteur de mise hors fonction en fonction (20).- Fig.2 is an end view, from the right of the case of Fig.1, and
- Fig.3 is a plan view of the back of the Fi g.1 case
In Fig.1, there is shown a case (10) for bank card or the like (not shown). The upper face of the case is formed by the upper face of a calculator (12) incorporated into the case. The calculator (12) is of conventional type, with the exception of the modifications necessary for the implementation of the invention and which will be explained below. This calculator (12) comprises a keyboard (14), a data display screen (16), a date display screen (18) and a function deactivation switch (20).

Conformément au mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les divers registres de la mémoire de la carte peuvent être appelés successivement et leur contenu affiché au moyen des touches t , 1 , 1 , l , - > + prévues sur le clavier. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the various registers of the card memory can be called successively and their content displayed by means of the keys t, 1, 1, l, -> + provided on the keyboard.

L'affichage ainsi décrit fait alors apparaitre date et montant d'une dépense s'il y a pression des touches t ou 5 (pour un ordre chronologique avant ou après) placés au-dessus de la touche - , ou d'un encaissement s'il y a pression des touches (22) ou (24). Le total des dépenses s ' affiche par pression de la touche - . Le total des encaissements s'affiche par pression de la touche + .Le solde de ces opérations s'affiche par pression de la touche =
I1 y a lieu de noter qu'il est également possible, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, de prévoir la possibilité d'utiliser la calculette pour d'autres fonctions numériques classiques (touches 0123456789=±x )en isolant temporairement les circuits réservés à la lecture des informations contenues dans la mémoire de la carte des circuits de calcul, par exemple par actionnement d'une touche de fonction appropriée de la calculette. Comme représenté sur la Fig.2, l'étui comporte une fente d'accès (28) par laquelle la carte peut être introduite dans un compartiment prévu pour la recevoir.The display thus described then shows the date and amount of an expense if the t or 5 keys are pressed (for a chronological order before or after) placed above the - key, or a collection s '' the buttons (22) or (24) are pressed. The total expenditure is displayed by pressing the - key. The total receipts are displayed by pressing the + key. The balance of these operations is displayed by pressing the = key.
It should be noted that it is also possible, without departing from the scope of the invention, to provide for the possibility of using the calculator for other conventional digital functions (keys 0123456789 = ± x) by temporarily isolating the circuits reserved for reading the information contained in the memory of the calculation circuit card, for example by pressing an appropriate function key of the calculator. As shown in Fig.2, the case has an access slot (28) through which the card can be inserted into a compartment intended to receive it.

Dans ce compartiment est disposé un ensemble de contacts électriques glissants qui vont se positionner sur les contacts du microprocesseur de la mémoire contenu dans la carte lorsque celle-ci est convenablement en place. On a désigné par (32) sur la Fig.3 une pile servant à alimenter

Figure img00020001
In this compartment is arranged a set of sliding electrical contacts which will be positioned on the microprocessor contacts of the memory contained in the card when the latter is properly in place. We designated (32) in Fig.3 a battery used to power
