Description
【0001】[0001]
本考案は、プリペイドカードに関し、特にカードの種別判定を容易にするカー ド種別判定構造を備えた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 having a card type determination structure that facilitates card type determination.
【0002】[0002]
最近、プリペイド方式のカードが普及しつつある。このようなプリペイドカー ドは、使用限度額等の属性を異にする、数種類のものが発行されるのが一般的で ある。 ところがこのようなカード形式の媒体は、紙幣等とは異なり、属性に応じて媒 体の寸法を変えることがなく、すべて同じ寸法形状をしている。 Recently, prepaid cards have become popular. Generally, several types of such prepaid cards are issued with different attributes such as the usage limit. However, unlike cards and the like, such card-type media do not change the size of the media according to their attributes, and all have the same size and shape.
【0003】[0003]
前記のように、従来構成のカードでは、表面の印刷図柄はともかく、寸法が1 種類に規格化されているから、少額のカードの残高を書き替える等の不正があっ てもこれに効果的な対処をするのが困難であった。さらに、種別を呈示するため 設けられた例えば小さな円弧状の切欠なども、数種類以上のカードのうちのひと つを特定させるには効果的ではなかった。 As described above, in the conventional card, the size is standardized to one type, regardless of the printed pattern on the surface, so it is effective even if there is a fraud such as rewriting the balance of a small card. It was difficult to deal with. Moreover, the small arc-shaped cutouts provided to indicate the type were not effective in identifying one of several types of cards.
【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 、その目的は利用者にとっても、またリーダライタにとってもカード種別の判定 が容易に可能なカード種別判定構造を備えた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, and its purpose is to make it easy for the user and the reader / writer to determine the card type. It is to provide a prepaid card with a judgment structure.
【0005】[0005]
本考案に係るカード種別判定構造を備えたプリペイドカードは、該プリペイド カードの一方の短尺辺に近接して凹状穴によるマークを配し、他方の短尺辺に近 接して凹状穴によるマークを、短尺方向に所定の距離だけ隔てて設けて構成した ことを特徴とする。 A prepaid card having a card type determination structure according to the present invention has a mark with a concave hole in the vicinity of one short side of the prepaid card, and a mark with a concave hole in the vicinity of the other short side. It is characterized in that it is provided with a predetermined distance in the direction.
【0006】[0006]
前記のように構成された本考案のカード種別判定構造を備えたプリペイドカー ドは、凹状穴マーク2個を1個づつ、カード種別に対応した所定の距離を短尺方 向に隔てて、両短尺辺に近接して設けたものであるから、利用者ならびにプリペ イドカードリーダライタともに容易にカード種別を判定できる。よって誤った使 用が避けられるばかりか、例えば限度額を超えた額への不正改竄を検出して排除 できる。 The prepaid card having the card type determination structure of the present invention configured as described above is provided with two concave hole marks, one at a time and a predetermined distance corresponding to the card type. Since it is provided close to the side, both the user and the prepaid card reader / writer can easily determine the card type. Therefore, not only incorrect use can be avoided, but for example, tampering with an amount exceeding the limit can be detected and eliminated.

図1は、本考案のカード種別判定構造を備えた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のカード種別判定構造を備えたプリペイドカードのX―X断面図 である。図3は、図1のカード種別判定構造を備えたプリペイドカードのY―Y 断面図である。 本考案のプリペイドカード1は、短尺辺1Aに近接して、凹状穴によるマーク G1を配し、凹状穴によるマークG2を、短尺辺1Bに近接して、カード種別に 対応している距離d1だけ短尺方向に隔てて設けて構成される。 したがって、プリペイドカード1の上端から凹状穴マークG1までの距離はd 2、凹状穴マークG1から別の凹状穴マークG2までの短尺方向距離はd1、凹 状穴マークG2からプリペイドカード1の下端までの距離はd3となる。 距離d1を変えて製造することにより、多くの種類のカードに対応させること ができる。 凹状穴マークのくぼみと大きさは、触診および目視で十分に確認区別できる程 度であることが望ましい。 FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a prepaid card having a card type determination structure of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the prepaid card including the card type determination structure of FIG. 1, taken along the line XX. FIG. 3 is a YY sectional view of a prepaid card having the card type determination structure of FIG. In the prepaid card 1 of the present invention, a mark G1 having a concave hole is arranged close to the short side 1A, and a mark G2 having a concave hole is arranged close to the short side 1B by a distance d1 corresponding to the card type. It is provided by being separated in the short direction. Therefore, the distance from the upper end of the prepaid card 1 to the concave hole mark G1 is d2, the short distance from the concave hole mark G1 to another concave hole mark G2 is d1, and the distance from the concave hole mark G2 to the lower end of the prepaid card 1 is The distance is d3. By manufacturing by changing the distance d1, it is possible to support many kinds of cards. The indentation and size of the concave hole mark should be such that they can be sufficiently identified by palpation and visual inspection.
【0008】 前記のように構成することによって、利用者はプリペイドカードの種別を極め て容易に判定できる。また同様に、プリペイドカードリーダライタも、カード種 類を、きわめて容易に検出判定できる。 また、前記凹状穴マークはプリペイドカードの縁に限定して設けられるもので あるから、例えばカード中央部まではみだして、印字記録に悪影響を及ぼすこと がない。With the above-mentioned configuration, the user can easily determine the type of prepaid card. Similarly, the prepaid card reader / writer can very easily detect and determine the card type. Further, since the concave hole mark is provided only at the edge of the prepaid card, it does not extend to the central portion of the card and have no adverse effect on print recording.
【0009】[0009]
以上の説明のように、本考案のカード種別判定構造を備えたプリペイドカード は、2個の凹状穴マークを、所定の距離だけ短尺方向に隔てて1個づつ、両短尺 辺に近接して設けたものであるから、利用者がリーダライタにカード挿入直前に 、目視によって凹状穴マーク間の隔たる距離を容易に確認することができる。よ って誤使用を未然に防止することが可能となり、使い勝手が著しく向上する。 また、プリペイドカードリーダライタにとっても、挿入されたカード種別を容 易に確認することができるという効果がある。 As described above, the prepaid card provided with the card type determination structure of the present invention is provided with two concave hole marks, one at a predetermined distance in the short direction and close to both short sides. Therefore, the user can easily visually confirm the distance between the concave hole marks immediately before inserting the card into the reader / writer. Therefore, it is possible to prevent misuse in advance and the usability is significantly improved. Further, the prepaid card reader / writer can easily confirm the type of the inserted card.
