<p>Magnetic strip interface (18) reads data from two tracks of a magnetic strip. The magnetic strip interface (18) transmits the data read from the first track to a first data handler (42), which converts this data into a first data word, and the magnetic strip interface also transmits the data read from the second track to a second data handler (42), which converts this data into a second data word. The two data handlers (42) transmit the two data words, respectively, to a multiplexer (52) in response to command signals transmitted from a control mechanism (45). The multiplexer (52) transmits the two data words received from the two data handlers (42), respectively, in response to control signals transmitted from the control mechanism (45). The control mechanism (45) analyses a priority scheme to determine the timing of transmissions from the data handlers (42). INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for the following: (a) method for interfacing data from magnetic strips.</p> |
