Abstract
An electronic transaction terminal, in which a memory for information for storing therein an identification number inputted from a ten-key and a power unit for memory for supplying power to this memory for information are connected to each other with a film for printed pattern wiring (FPC). The FPC is placed throughout the internal surface of a security case. If someone tries to make a hole on the security case, any point of the wiring pattern of the FPC is cut off. For this reason, power supply to the memory for information is shut down and data on the memory for information is deleted.
Claims10
An electronic transaction terminal for inputting therein information for an electronic transaction such as a personal identification number and some other data through a control section and carrying out communications for the electronic-transactional information with a host computer through a communication means;
- wherein an electronic component requiring security is accommodated in a security case inside a case, of a main unit thereof, wiring is run throughout an entire internal surface of this security case, and functions of the terminal are terminated in response to cutting off of this wiring.
An electronic transaction terminal for inputting therein information for an electronic transaction such as a personal identification number and some other data through a control section and carrying out communications for the electronic-transactional information with a host computer through a communication means;
- wherein an electronic computer requiring security is accommodated in a security case inside a case for a main unit thereof, redundant wiring is provided throughout the entire internal surface of this security case, and functions of the terminal are terminated in response to cutting off of this wiring.
An electronic transaction terminal for inputting therein information for an electronic transaction such as a personal identification number and some other data through a control section, storing this inputted electronic-transactional information on a memory, and carrying out communications for the electronic-transactional information with a host computer through a communication means;
- wherein the memory is accommodated in a security case inside a case for a main unit thereof, wiring is run throughout an entire internal surface of the security case, and the electronic-transactional information stored on the memory is deleted in response to cutting off of this wiring.
An electronic transaction terminal for inputting therein information for an electronic transaction such as a personal identification number and some other data through a control section, storing this inputted electronic-transactional information on a memory, and carrying out communications for the electronic-transactional information with a host computer through a communication means;
- wherein the memory is accommodated in a security case inside a case for a main unit thereof, redundant wiling is provided throughout the entire internal surface of the security case, and the electronic-transactional information stored on the memory is deleted in response to cutting off of this wiring.
