IC card having camera, microphone, and modem for use in information processors

An IC card comprising:

• a first connector connectable to a terminal for processing information;
• a second connector connectable to a communication line;
• an image input device converting an optical signal to an electrical signal;
• an acoustic input device converting an acoustic signal to an electrical signal;
• a transmission controller transmitting an electrical signal received from said image input device or said acoustic input device through said second connector to the communication line and transmitting an electrical signal received from the communication line through said first connector to the terminal;
• a frame mounting said image input device, said acoustic input device, said transmission controller and said first and second connectors, said frame comprising a main body and an extension connected thereto, said extension enclosing said image input device and said acoustic input device and mounting said second connector at an end thereof, said extension comprising a first hole for propagating an image to said image input device and a second hole for propagating a sound to said acoustic input device;
• and
• a panel connected to said frame, said panel enclosing said transmission controller.
