Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne les cartes de crédits, à puces, à bandes magnétiques, simples, de toutes formes ou de toutes natures, et qui permettent le suivi visuel, immédiat et compréhensible des consommations et surtout du crédit restant, apres une manipulation aisée de la part de l'utilisateur, ou de façon automatique lors de l'utilisation d'un appareil conçu à cet effet. La mémorisation est passive et reste à demeure sur la carte. The present invention relates to credit cards, chips, magnetic strips, simple, of all shapes or of all kinds, and which allow visual, immediate and understandable monitoring of consumption and especially of the remaining credit, after easy handling of the from the user, or automatically when using a device designed for this purpose. Memorization is passive and remains permanently on the card.
A ce jour, les utilisateurs de cartes accréditives,téléphoniques entre autres sont souvent handicapés par la non connaissance du crédit restant, qu'il s'agisse d'argent, d'unités de télephone, ou d'une quelconque unité de service; parking, spectacles, etc... To date, users of credit cards, telephone cards among others are often handicapped by not knowing the remaining credit, whether it be money, telephone units, or any service unit; parking, shows, etc ...
Les solutions suivantes permettent d'optimiser l'utilisation de toutes ces cartes. The following solutions optimize the use of all these cards.
SOLUTION 1: Cartes à usage unique:(Figure 1) --Appii-orr-aux certes -tléphoniques, mais pouvant trouver n'importe quelle autre utilisation, sans restriction. SOLUTION 1: Single-use cards: (Figure 1) --Appii-orr-certainly-telephone, but can find any other use, without restriction.
Le principe consiste à suivre le crédit d'utilisation en extrayant à l'aide d'un objet pointu (pointe de crayon ou autre), les pastilles de la zone 1. Chacune d'elles aura un trou ou creux en son centre, permettant le positionnement aisé de l'objet qui servira à la chasser.Sa forme géométrique peut être quelconque, ainsi que la methode de retenue au reste de la carte:(entretoises, film souple, pellicule fine etc...)
Une deuxième rangée de pastilles, sous-jacente améliorerait la précision en divisant par deux l'échelle des grandeurs située dans la zonel associées à un graphisme donnant le sens de la variation décroissante(2).The principle consists in following the usage credit by extracting using a pointed object (pencil point or other), the pellets from zone 1. Each of them will have a hole or hollow in its center, allowing the easy positioning of the object which will be used to drive it out. Its geometric shape can be arbitrary, as well as the method of retaining it to the rest of the card: (spacers, flexible film, thin film, etc.)
A second row of pellets, underlying, would improve accuracy by dividing by two the scale of quantities located in the zone associated with a graphic giving the direction of the decreasing variation (2).
Toutes les impressions seraient recto-verso, les pastilles et les graphismes pouvant adopter n'importe quelle figure géométrique sur la carte, sans limitation d'emplacement taille ou quantité. All the prints would be double-sided, the pastilles and the graphics being able to adopt any geometrical figure on the card, without limitation of location size or quantity.
Une autre methode consisterait à utiliser des pastilles de tailles décroissantes(Figure 2). Another method would be to use pastilles of decreasing size (Figure 2).
La mémorisation est ainsi effectuée par l'utilisateur aussitôt que la machine de laquelle il retire sa carte, lui signale la valeur restante. The memorization is thus carried out by the user as soon as the machine from which he withdraws his card, informs him of the remaining value.
La fabrication des pastilles se ferait en même temps
que celle des cartes, plusieures méthodes éxistant à ce
jour.The manufacture of the pellets would be done at the same time
than that of cards, several methods exist at this
day.
SOLUTION 2: cartes réutilisables: ( Figure 3). SOLUTION 2: reusable cards: (Figure 3).
Le principe consiste à déplacer à volonté un ergot (3) (Fig.4) en face de l'échelle des grandeurs,à l'aide de deux doigts, ou d'un objet pointu,grâce à un trou (7), un creux ou une saillie. The principle consists of moving a lug (3) (Fig. 4) at will in front of the scale of sizes, using two fingers, or a pointed object, thanks to a hole (7), a hollow or protrusion.
Une ouverture longitudinale (4) est amenagée, possédant à l'intérieur des cotés (5) et (6) deux rainures glissières, dans le fond desquelles (cela peut être que d'un seul côté) se trouve un crantage servant à positionner l'ergot, par conséquent son marquage (8) en face du vernier des grandeurs (10). A longitudinal opening (4) is provided, having inside the sides (5) and (6) two sliding grooves, in the bottom of which (it may be only on one side) is a notch serving to position the 'pin, consequently its marking (8) opposite the vernier of the sizes (10).
--IP mouvPmPnt de. l'ergot ne peut s'effectuer que suite à une action mécanique indifférente dans le sens de la fente. Un évidement judicieux à une entrée des glissières permettra de faire entrer l'ergot lors de la fabrication, et sera rebouché ensuite (9). --IP movPmPnt of. the lug can only be carried out following an indifferent mechanical action in the direction of the slot. A judicious recess at an entry of the slideways will allow the lug to enter during manufacture, and will then be filled in (9).
La chute de la carte sur un sol dur, d'une hauteur d'environ 1 mètre, sur la tranche la plus défavorable, ne fera pas déplacer l'ergot. The fall of the card on hard ground, from a height of about 1 meter, on the most unfavorable edge, will not cause the lug to move.
La forme de l'ergot,des rainures, du crantage, pourront être de géométrie quelconque, compatibles avec les impératifs de résistances structurales, d'ergonomie, de coût. The shape of the lug, the grooves, the notching, may be of any geometry, compatible with the requirements of structural resistance, ergonomics, cost.
L'ergot ne sortira pas facilement de ses glisières, et devra faire la vie de la carte. The lug will not easily come out of its slides, and will have to make the life of the card.
Cette carte réutilisable trouvera son application judicieuse dans les SMART CARDS, permettant le suivi du crédit argent restant. L'unité monétaire du pays, ou ses multiples seront inscrits sur l'échelle (10), recto-verso. This reusable card will find its judicious application in SMART CARDS, allowing the monitoring of the remaining money credit. The currency unit of the country, or its multiples, will be written on the scale (10), on both sides.
Un onglet (11) (coupe A-A),Fig.5, déplaçable dans les mêmes conditions que l'ergot(3)(avec crans d'arrêts en butées) indiquera, lorsqu'il est visible, la face utilisée de la carte (fenètres 12 et 13). Deux échelles différentes, l'une au recto,l'autre au verso, permettront d'étaler la valeur des grandeurs à suivre pour plus de souplesse; (par exemple,1000 Frs d'un côté, 500 Frs de l'autre par divisions de 50 Frs pour les 1000, 25 Frs pour les 500).Toutes les combinaisons étant possibles. A tab (11) (section AA), Fig. 5, movable under the same conditions as the lug (3) (with stop notches in stops) will indicate, when visible, the used side of the card ( windows 12 and 13). Two different scales, one on the front, the other on the back, will spread the value of the quantities to be followed for more flexibility; (for example, 1000 Frs on one side, 500 Frs on the other by divisions of 50 Frs for the 1000, 25 Frs for the 500) .All combinations are possible.
La position de la fente(4) et des fenètres(12)et(13)ainsi que leurs dimensions seront fonction des positions respectives de la puce et ses connecteurs, de la bande magnétique, des écritures matricées sans limites. The position of the slot (4) and of the windows (12) and (13) as well as their dimensions will depend on the respective positions of the chip and its connectors, of the magnetic strip, of the matrixed writings without limits.
L'onglet signalétique sera mis en place de la même façon que l'ergot. The signage tab will be set up in the same way as the lug.
SOLUTION 3: cartes à jeter:
Les pastilles à casser peuvent être remplacées par des gommettes collées, transparentes ou non, sur lesquelles les chiffres des grandeurs sont imprimés. En les décollant, 1'.Ut ilisateur effectue le suivi de ses consommations.SOLUTION 3: cards to throw:
The pastilles to be broken can be replaced by glued stickers, transparent or not, on which the numbers of the sizes are printed. By taking them off, the user tracks their consumption.
Fabriquées en matière resistant aux agents chimiques rencontrés habituellement, elles seraient de tailles décroissantes, suivant un motif quelconque, pouvant être disposées sur plusieures rangées. Made of material resistant to chemical agents usually encountered, they would be of decreasing sizes, according to any pattern, which can be arranged in several rows.
Cette solution est la plus facile à mettre en oeuvre, et comme les précédentes peut faire l'objet d'une production industrielle de masse. Les différentes solutions décrites seront utilisables par les non voyants. This solution is the easiest to implement, and like the previous ones can be the subject of mass industrial production. The various solutions described will be usable by the blind.
SOLUTION 4:cartes à jeter:
La gestion des consommations peut également s'effectuer directement dans le lecteur de cartes, soit: par impression thermique, par encre (jet à bulles ou marquage traditionnel) avec une tête d'impression adaptée, sur une piste support rapportée à un endroit judicieux de la carte, de composition adaptée au type d'impression, soit par un stylet de gravure mécanique, qui entamerait une couche superficielle,dévoilant par contraste la matière sous-jacente.Le positionnement correct des différents moyens de marquages se ferait en incrémentant le précédent à mesure de l'utilisation.SOLUTION 4: cards to throw:
Consumption management can also be done directly in the card reader, either: by thermal printing, by ink (bubble jet or traditional marking) with a suitable print head, on a support track brought to a suitable place for the card, of composition adapted to the type of printing, either by a mechanical engraving stylus, which would start a surface layer, revealing by contrast the underlying material. The correct positioning of the different marking means would be done by incrementing the previous to usage measurement.
Cette technique peut être mise en application dans les appareils dejà en service, ou par adjonction extérieure du lecteur/imprimeur connecté ou indépendant. This technique can be applied in devices already in service, or by external addition of the connected or independent reader / printer.
I1 est également possible de produire à une échelle industrielle les appareils ci-dessus. It is also possible to produce the above devices on an industrial scale.
