PCT No. PCT/JP95/00430 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 10, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 10, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 15, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/28792 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 19, 1996An IC card system which includes an IC terminal and a remote IC card found processing center operatively connected to the IC terminal by way of a telephone line for processing a lost and found IC card. The IC terminal includes a first card insertion slot which receives insertion of a lost and found IC card; a second card insertion slot which receives insertion of a second IC card to receive reward data from the IC card processing center; a key input unit which permits the user to initiate processing of the lost found IC card; a display unit which provides a visual display of processing conditions of the lost and found IC card; and a processor which reads information from the lost and found IC card and records reward data for the processing of the lost and found IC card from the remote IC card processing center into the second IC card. The remote IC card processing center includes a first memory which stores information of the lost and found IC card transmitted from the IC terminal; a second memory which stores reward data; and a processing unit which transmits data indicating reception of the processing request of the lost and found IC card on the basis of a calling signal from the IC terminal, generates an instruction to invalidate operations of the lost and found IC card after storage of the information of the lost and found IC card, and transmits the reward data and the operation invalidating instruction to the IC terminal. This way lost IC card may be effectively returned to the rightly owner, and the finder of the lost IC card may be rewarded conveniently. |
