Abstract

A reader/writer effective in preventing forgery of data recorded in magnetic cards, wherein an erasing head (1) is provided with a reverse current preventing circuit (3) that permits the head current to flow in only a direction in which a magnetic field for erasing data is generated and that prevents the generation of a magnetic field in the opposite direction. As a result, a reader/writer for magnetic cards can be equipped with an erasing head by which data is not rewritten. Therefore, even in case the reader/writer is stolen, it cannot be used for forging data in magnetic cards. Moreover, provision of the reverse current preventing circuit (3) makes it impossible to rewrite data in magnetic cards even if the circuitry associated with the erasing head is modified, and the safety is improved.

以下、 本発明 の実施例 に つい て 図面 を参照 し て説明す る 。  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
*実施例 の リ ー ダ一 ラ イ タ 装置は 、 磁気 カ ー ド の デ一 タ を 読み書 き す る 読み書 き 用へ ッ ド と 、 デ ー タ の消去 の み を行 う 消去用へ ッ ド と を設け て な る 。  * The reader / writer device of the embodiment has a read / write head for reading / writing magnetic card data and an erasing head for only erasing data. And a head.
本実施例 に用 い る 消去用へ ッ ド は第 1 図 に示す如 く 磁 気へ ッ ド 2 と 逆流防止回路 3 と か ら な る 。  The erasing head used in this embodiment is composed of a magnetic head 2 and a backflow prevention circuit 3 as shown in FIG.
ま た 、 消去用 へ ッ ド周辺の 回路はへ ッ ド電流 を 制御す る た め の 抵抗 1 1 と 、 N P N 型 ト ラ ン ジ ス タ 1 3 と 、 図示 し な い制御系 と N F N型 ト ラ ン ジ ス タ 1 3 と を接続 す る 消 去制御 ラ イ ン 1 4 と を 有 す る 。 こ れ に よ つ て 、 消去制御 ラ イ ン 1 4 か ら送 られ る 制御電流 は ト ラ ン ジ ス タ 1 3 に よ っ て増幅 され、 磁気へ ッ ド 2 カゝ ら磁界 を発生 さ せ る 。 こ こ で本回路を流れる 制御電流は ト ラ ン ジ ス タ 1 3 に よ っ て一定方向 に し か流れ な いため、 磁気へ ッ ド 2 か ら は一方向 に の み磁界が発生す る こ と と な る 。 し た が っ て *実施例の消去用へ ッ ド は、 消去 と 反対方向 の磁 界 を必要 と す る デー タ の睿込み に ほ使用不可能 と な る 。 The circuit around the erasing head is composed of a resistor 11 for controlling the head current, an NPN transistor 13, a control system (not shown) and an NFN transistor. It has an erasure control line 14 that connects to the transistor 13. As a result, the control current sent from the erase control line 14 is limited to the transistor The magnetic field is amplified by the magnetic head 13, and a magnetic field is generated from two magnetic heads. Here, the control current flowing through this circuit flows only in a fixed direction by the transistor 13, and therefore, a magnetic field is generated only in one direction from the magnetic head 2. And Therefore, the erasing head of the embodiment is almost unusable for digging data that requires a magnetic field in the opposite direction to the erasing.
上記逆流防止回路 3 は 、 磁気へ ッ ド 2 に並列に接続 し た ダ イ オ ー ド 1 2 a を有 し て な る 。 これ に よ つ て、 磁気 へ ッ ド 2 を流れ る へ ッ ド電流ほ一定方向 の制御電流の と き に しか流れ な い。 し たが っ て 、 消去用へ ッ ド周辺の 回 路 を 改造 し た り 、 消去用へ ッ ドの み を取外 し て他の 回路 に接続 し て も デー タ の書込みほ不可能であ る 。  The backflow prevention circuit 3 has a diode 12 a connected in parallel with the magnetic head 2. As a result, the head current flowing through the magnetic head 2 flows only when the control current is almost constant. Therefore, even if the circuit around the erasing head is modified, or if only the erasing head is removed and connected to other circuits, it is impossible to write data. .
第 2 図ほ消去用へ ッ ド の第 2 実施例 を示す図であ る 。 太実施例 の逆流防止回路 3 は磁気へ ッ ド 2 に直列 に接 続 し た ダ イ オ ー ド 1 2 b を有 し て な る 。 *実施例に おい て も 、 へ ッ ド電流は逆流防止回路 3 に よ っ て一定方向 の 制御電流の と き に し か流れな い。 こ の た め 、 磁気へ ッ ド 2 か ら ほ一方向 に の み磁界が発生す る こ と と な リ 、 デー タ の書込みは不可能 と な る 。  FIG. 2 is a view showing a second embodiment of the erasing head. The backflow prevention circuit 3 of the thick embodiment has a diode 12 b connected in series to the magnetic head 2. * In the embodiment as well, the head current flows only when the control current in a certain direction is generated by the backflow prevention circuit 3. For this reason, it is impossible to write data because a magnetic field is generated only in one direction from the magnetic head 2.
第 3 図は消去用へ ッ ドの第 3 実施例 を示す図であ る 。 *実施例 の 逆流防止 回路 3 は 、 ダ イ オ ー ド 1 2 c , 1 2 d , 1 2 e , 1 2 f を 図示の如 く S列 し て な る 。 太 実施例 に お い て は、 入力す る 制御電流の毪性 に閬係な く へ ッ ド 電流 ほ 一定方 向 に の み流れ る こ と と な る 。 し た が っ て 、 磁気へ ッ ド 2 か ら は 常 に一方向 に の み磁界が発 生す る こ と と な リ 、 デー タ の書込み は不可能 と な る 。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of the erasing head. * In the backflow prevention circuit 3 of the embodiment, the diodes 12c, 12d, 12e, and 12f are arranged in S rows as shown in the figure. In the embodiment, the head current flows only in a certain direction irrespective of the characteristics of the input control current. did As a result, the magnetic head 2 always generates a magnetic field only in one direction, and data cannot be written.
ま た 、 *実施例の消去用 へ ッ ド は 、 テ ス タ 一等 で抵抗 値 を測定 し た場合、 電流 S性の如何 に関 ら ず同 じ値 と な る た め 、 構造が外都か ら わ力 リ に く い。  Also, when the resistance value of the erasing head of the example is measured with a tester or the like, the value is the same regardless of the current S property, so that the structure is external. It is not easy to remove.
なお、 本実施例の消去用へ ッ ド は磁気 カ ー ド への デ 一 タ の書込みがで.き な い た め 、 使用 に 際 し新た なデー タ の 上書 き を必要 と す る 通常のデー タ ト ラ ッ ク に は使用 で き な い。 そ こ で *実施例の消去用へ ッ ド に適応す る 消去用 デ 一 タ ト ラ ッ ク が必要 と な る 。 消去用デ一 タ ト ラ ッ ク の フ ォ ー マ ツ ト は第 5 図 a に示す S性 と な る よ う に設定 さ れ る 。  Note that the erasing head of this embodiment cannot write data to the magnetic card, so it is necessary to overwrite new data when using it. It cannot be used for data tracks of this type. Therefore, an erasing data track is required to adapt to the erasing head of the embodiment. The format of the erasure data track is set so as to have the S-character shown in FIG. 5A.
