Description
【0001】[0001]
本考案は、プリペイドカードに関し、特にカードの表裏、前後の識別を容易に してリーダライタへの誤挿入を防止する方向検出マーク付きプリペイドカードに 関するものである。 The present invention relates to a prepaid card, and more particularly to a prepaid card with a direction detection mark for facilitating front / back and front / back identification of the card to prevent erroneous insertion into a reader / writer.
【0002】[0002]
最近、プリペイド方式のカードが普及しつつある。このようなカード形式の媒 体は、記入や記録内容の更新が必要であり、印字カードや磁気カード、あるいは 光カードを問わず、リーダライタに挿入してアップデーションがなされるのが一 般的である。 ところで、カード形式の媒体は構造や形状的に、表裏が類似しており、また同 様にカードの前側後側も類似している。したがって、リーダライタへの誤挿入を 防止するために、例えば表側に、前方向を示す矢印等のマークを印刷する方法が 広く採用されている。 Recently, prepaid cards have become popular. Such a card-type medium requires filling and updating of recorded contents, and is generally inserted into a reader / writer to perform an update regardless of whether it is a print card, a magnetic card, or an optical card. Is. By the way, card-type media are similar in terms of structure and shape, and the front and rear sides of the card are also similar. Therefore, in order to prevent erroneous insertion into the reader / writer, for example, a method of printing a mark such as an arrow indicating the front direction on the front side is widely adopted.
【0003】[0003]
しかしながら、前記のような従来構成のカードでは、印刷されている挿入方向 指示マークが見ずらく、使用勝手の甚だ悪いものが大部分である。さらに決定的 なことは、目の不自由な利用者に対応できないことである。 そのため、極く小さな円弧状の切欠をカード辺上に設けて印としている等がな されているが、機能的にいまだ不十分であった。 さらに、装置側に迅速に挿入状態を判定させる機能を併せ有していなければな らない。ところが従来のプリペイドカードには、このような要求を満たす構成が 存在しなかった。 However, in most of the cards having the above-described conventional configurations, the printed insertion direction instruction mark is difficult to see, and most of the cards are extremely unusable. Even more critical is the inability to accommodate blind users. Therefore, it has been said that a very small arcuate notch is provided on the side of the card as a mark, but it was still insufficient in terms of functionality. In addition, the device must also have the function of promptly determining the insertion status. However, conventional prepaid cards do not have a configuration that meets these requirements.
【0004】 本考案は、このような従来技術の有する問題点を解決するため為されたもので 、その目的は利用者側にはカード方向の確認が容易であり、かつ装置側に対して は迅速な挿入状態の判定を可能とする方向検出マーク付きプリペイドカードを提 供することにある。The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above. The purpose of the present invention is to make it easy for the user to check the card direction and for the device side. It is to provide a prepaid card with a direction detection mark that enables quick determination of the insertion state.

本考案に係る方向検出マーク付きプリペイドカードは、プリペイドカードのお もて面の第1隅に第1マークを印字し、対角線上にある第2隅に第2マークを印 字し、うら面の、第1隅の裏側を第3隅として第3マークを印字し、第2隅の裏 側を第4隅として第4マークを印字し、第1マークに近いカード長尺辺と第1マ ーク間の距離と、第3マークと長尺辺間の距離と、第2マークに近いカード長尺 辺と第2マーク間の距離と、第4マークの長尺辺からの距離とをいずれも同じ距 離とし、かつ第1マークと第3マークを同じ形状で、さらに第1マークと第4マ ークを同じ形状とし、第1マークと第2マークとを異なる構成としたことを特徴 とする。 The prepaid card with the direction detection mark according to the present invention has the first mark printed on the first corner of the front surface of the prepaid card, and the second mark printed on the second corner on the diagonal line. , The third mark is printed with the back side of the first corner as the third corner, the fourth mark is printed with the back side of the second corner as the fourth corner, and the long side of the card close to the first mark and the first mark are printed. The distance between the third mark and the long side, the distance between the long side of the card close to the second mark and the second mark, and the distance from the long side of the fourth mark. The first mark and the third mark have the same shape, the first mark and the fourth mark have the same shape, and the first mark and the second mark have different configurations. To do.
【0006】[0006]
前記のように構成された本考案の方向検出マーク付きプリペイドカードは、表 裏、前後方向の異なる4通りの挿入状態に対応して、例えば短尺辺側に現われる マークの位置と形状の組み合わせがすべて異なる。よって例えば短尺辺側に現わ れるマークの位置と形状を検出することで、正しいおもて/うら面と前後方向を 装置側が確認できる。また利用者も自ら確認することができる。 The prepaid card with the direction detection mark of the present invention configured as described above corresponds to four insertion states in which the front and back sides and the front and back directions are different, and, for example, all the positions and shapes of the marks appearing on the short side are all combined. different. Therefore, for example, by detecting the position and shape of the mark appearing on the short side, the device side can confirm the correct front / back surface and front-back direction. Users can also check for themselves.
【0007】[0007]
図1は、本考案の方向検出マーク付きプリペイドカードの一実施例の正面図で ある。 図2は、図1の方向検出マーク付きプリペイドカードの背面図である。但し図 1とは上下反転した状態を示している。 以下、本考案の実施例を図1と図2に基づき説明する。本考案のプリペイドカ ード1のひとつの面をおもて面1Aとし、おもて面1Aの前辺1Cと上辺1Eと の隅を第1隅として該第1隅に第1マークM1を印字し、該第1隅と対角線上に ある、後辺1Dと下辺1Fとの隅を第2隅として該第2隅に第2マークM2を印 字する。ついで、うら面1Bの、おもて面1Aの第1隅の裏側の隅を第3隅とし て該第3隅に第3マークM3を印字し、前記第2隅の裏側の隅を第4隅として該 第4隅に第4マークM4を印字する。 FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a prepaid card with a direction detection mark according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the prepaid card with the direction detection mark of FIG. However, FIG. 1 shows a state in which it is turned upside down. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. One surface of the prepaid card 1 of the present invention is referred to as a front surface 1A, and a corner between the front side 1C and the upper side 1E of the front surface 1A is defined as a first corner, and the first mark M1 is provided at the first corner. The second mark M2 is printed and the second mark M2 is printed on the second corner with the corner between the rear side 1D and the lower side 1F, which is on the diagonal line of the first corner, as the second corner. Then, the back side corner of the front side 1A of the back side 1B is set as the third corner, and the third mark M3 is printed at the third corner, and the back side corner of the second corner is set at the fourth side. As the corner, the fourth mark M4 is printed on the fourth corner.
【0008】 第1マークM1に近い上辺1Eを第1長尺辺とし、第1マークM1から上辺1 Eの距離を距離d1とする。同様に、第3マークM3から上辺1Eの距離を距離 d1とする。 一方、第2マークM2に近い下辺1Fを第2長尺辺とし、第2マークM2から 下辺1Fの距離を同じ距離d1とする。同様に、第4マークM4から下辺1Fの 距離を同じ距離d1とする。ここで各第1〜第4マークM1〜M4の長尺方向距 離すなわちカード進行方向距離は、すべて同一のd3である。An upper side 1E near the first mark M1 is a first long side, and a distance from the first mark M1 to the upper side 1E is a distance d1. Similarly, the distance from the third mark M3 to the upper side 1E is defined as the distance d1. On the other hand, the lower side 1F close to the second mark M2 is the second long side, and the distance from the second mark M2 to the lower side 1F is the same distance d1. Similarly, the distance from the fourth mark M4 to the lower side 1F is the same distance d1. Here, the distances in the lengthwise direction of the first to fourth marks M1 to M4, that is, the distances in the card traveling direction are all the same d3.
【0009】 さらに、第1マークM1と第3マークM3は同じ形状とし、かつ第2マークM 2と第4マークM4は同じ形状とし、しかも第1マークM1の形状と、第2マー クM2の形状とは異なる。 例えば、図示のように第1マークM1と第3マークM3は同じ丸であり、かつ 第2マークM2と第4マークM4は同じ三角である。なお第2マークM2と第4 マークM4の三角は、向きを問わない。Further, the first mark M1 and the third mark M3 have the same shape, the second mark M2 and the fourth mark M4 have the same shape, and the shape of the first mark M1 and the second mark M2 are the same. The shape is different. For example, as shown in the figure, the first mark M1 and the third mark M3 are the same circle, and the second mark M2 and the fourth mark M4 are the same triangle. The triangles of the second mark M2 and the fourth mark M4 may be oriented in any direction.
【0010】 以上のように構成することによって、カードの表裏/前後が容易に区別できる 。例えば、前辺1Cを先端としてリーダライタに挿入するとき、おもて面1A が表面(図中、紙面手前側)に出ていれば、カード先端1Cには図中上側にある 上辺1Eから距離d1のところに第1マークM1の黒丸が出現する。ここでカー ドが裏返しであれば、図中下側に移動した上辺1Eから距離d1のところに第3 マークM3の黒丸が出現する。With the above configuration, the front / back / front and back of the card can be easily distinguished. For example, when the front side 1C is inserted into the reader / writer with the front side 1C as the tip, if the front side 1A is exposed on the front side (the front side of the paper surface in the drawing), the card front end 1C is located at a distance from the upper side 1E on the upper side in the drawing. The black circle of the first mark M1 appears at d1. Here, if the card is turned upside down, a black circle of the third mark M3 appears at a distance d1 from the upper side 1E moved to the lower side in the figure.
【0011】 つぎに、後辺1Dを先端としてリーダライタに挿入するとき、おもて面1A が表面に出ていれば、カード先端1Dには上側に移動した下辺1Fから距離d1 のところに第2マークM2の黒三角が出現する。ここでカードが裏返しであれば 、下側に移動した下辺1Fから距離d1のところに第4マークM4の黒三角が出 現する。 このように、カードの表裏/前後が異なる4通りの場合の数で、それぞれに第 1〜第4マークの1個が、出現位置と形状の組み合わせを異にして現われる。 この結果、カードの表裏/前後の異なる挿入状態を、しかもきわめて容易に峻 別できる。Next, when the front side 1A is exposed on the front side when the rear side 1D is inserted into the reader / writer with the rear side 1D as the front side, the card front side 1D is located at a distance d1 from the lower side 1F moved upward. The black triangle of the 2 mark M2 appears. If the card is turned upside down, a black triangle of the fourth mark M4 appears at a distance d1 from the lower side 1F moved to the lower side. In this way, in the number of four cases in which the front and back / front and back of the card are different, one of the first to fourth marks appears with different combinations of appearance positions and shapes. As a result, different insertion states of the front / back / front and back of the card can be distinguished very easily.
【0012】[0012]
以上の説明のように、本考案の方向検出マーク付きプリペイドカードは、表裏 、前後方向の異なる4通りの挿入状態に対応して、例えば短尺辺側に現われるマ ークの位置と形状の組み合わせがすべて異なる。よって例えば短尺辺側に現われ るマークの位置と形状を検出することで、正しいおもて/うら面と前後方向を装 置側が容易に確認可能になる。よって利用者の誤挿入をカード挿入後、極めて短 時間に実行できるという効果がある。 As described above, the prepaid card with the direction detection mark of the present invention corresponds to four insertion states in which the front and back sides are different from each other in the front-back direction. Everything is different. Therefore, for example, by detecting the position and shape of the mark appearing on the short side, the correct front / back surface and the front-back direction can be easily confirmed on the device side. Therefore, there is an effect that the erroneous insertion by the user can be executed in an extremely short time after inserting the card.
