IC CARD PROCESSOR

摘要

An IC card processor carried with an IC card as electronic money confirms information about the balance related directly to electronic money as well as other information such as shop names. When the IC card (20) is connected, pieces of card information (main and supplement information) are read out from nonvolatile memory of the IC (22). A user searches, displays and selects such main information as shop names and payments by pressing SHIFT key (5) and SELECT key (4). Supplement information, such as award points, is displayed by pressing ENTER key (6). The card information can be sorted, edited or selectively deleted. IC cards of different specifications can also be handled.
