内蔵する必要がある。 Conventional cards have a magnetic stripe on them that allows for reading and writing of records, but in recent years, with the aim of increasing the amount of information and expanding functionality, semiconductor devices such as microcomputers and random access memory have been developed. Many proposals have been made for so-called IC cards, which have integrated circuits built into the same size as conventional cards. It is fine if the semiconductor integrated circuit is composed only of non-luminescent memory, but there is a growing demand for a built-in random access memory, etc., and it is necessary to incorporate a battery for backup into the card.

It is exposed to the outside, and is used to exchange signals with the outside world and to receive power. Semiconductor integrated circuit 6
The main body 1 consists of a microprocessor, random access memory, etc., and is configured as required. However, when a microprocessor is included, the capacity of the backup battery 7 must be particularly large, and the main body 1 itself must also be large. I don't like it.

Reference numeral 8 denotes an IC card holder main body, in which the IC card main body 1 shown in FIG. 1 is housed. Reference numeral 9 denotes a backup battery, and the positive electrode of the battery 9 is electrically connected to a holder power supply terminal 10.
When the IC card body 1 is stored in the IC card holder body 8, the power terminal 2 on the IC card body 1
and the holder power supply terminal 10 are electrically connected. Although not shown, a backup battery 9
A holder power terminal is provided which is also electrically connected to the negative electrode of the IC card, and is electrically connected to the power terminal 3 of the IC card. In other words, when the IC card is stored in the IC card holder, the holder power terminal is provided at the part that comes into contact with the IC card's power terminal, so power can be supplied from the battery inside the IC card holder to the IC card for backup. becomes possible.

A power regulator circuit may be provided between the battery and the holder power terminal. Alternatively, it is also possible to provide a power supply voltage indicator or the like to notify the battery life of the IC card holder. Further, in the description of the present invention, one IC card is housed in the IC card holder, but the present invention is not limited to one IC card, and includes a structure in which a plurality of IC cards can be housed.
