SECURITY CARD HAVING FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION, PROCESSING SYSTEM AND PROCESSING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a security card processing system and method, and more particularly, to a security card system and method wherein a security card is activated and security information stored in the security card is externally transmitted only when the card owner's fingerprint is authenticated using a fingerprint sensor built into the security card, thereby protecting against unauthorized use by other people. According to the present invention, unauthorized use of the security card by other people can be prevented and also security information of the owner of the security card can be protected from leaking since the security card is activated and the security information stored in the security card is externally transmitted only when the card owner's fingerprint is authenticated using a fingerprint sensor built into the security card.

1. A security card that performs fingerprint authentication, the security card comprising:
a fingerprint sensor configured to sense a fingerprint and generate fingerprint information; a memory configured to store reference fingerprint information in a security region and further store at least one of financial information for financial works, personal information, a personal identification number (PIN), and authority information in the security region; and a controller configured to provide information stored in the security region to the outside via an input/output interface or a radio frequency (RF) module only when the sensed fingerprint information is identical to the reference fingerprint information.
