<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To satisfactorily detect types of various cards via a simple structure. <P>SOLUTION: Inlet sensors 10, 20 and 30 for detecting the type of an inserted card are arranged in appropriate positions upstream of a reading/writing position along the card insertion direction. With detection signals from the inlet sensors 10, 20 and 30, if an unusable card is inserted, a control action of, for example, closing shutter means 40 is possible to prevent a practice card fraud and the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
