摘要

The card reader (10) has a read device for reading data from a memory of a portable data medium over a data communication interface. An output device i.e. display, (20) outputs the data, and the data communication interface is adjusted to make a contact-type communication connection with the data medium to be read. The read device is provided to read the data by the contact-type communication connection of the data medium. A write device writes the data by the data communication into the data medium.
