Abstract
A reader and system for a noncontact type information storage medium, capable of providing an easy-to-use user interface for information exchange between the non-contact formation type information storage medium and the reader. A reader for a noncontact type information storage medium for reading data from the medium via an antenna through magnetic induction or magnetic coupling, the reader having a display device for displaying whether a reception of data transmitted from the medium via the antenna is succeeded or failed or for displaying a communication result with the medium.
Claims8
A reader for a noncontact information storage medium for reading data from the medium via an antenna through magnetic induction or magnetic coupling, the reader comprising:
- an antenna coil having an inner periphery region and an outer periphery region, wherein said reader is a card reader and said noncontact information storage medium is an IC card;
- and
- a display device for displaying a communication result of whether a reception of data transmitted from the medium via the antenna is successful, wherein said communication result includes a recognition of a proper positioning between the medium and the antenna coil, said display device including an LCD device disposed along said inner periphery region of said antenna coil and a plurality of LEDs disposed along said outer periphery.
A system for a noncontact information storage medium, having a semiconductor memory built in the medium and a reader for reading data from the medium via an antenna through magnetic induction or magnetic coupling, the system comprising:
- an antenna coil having an inner periphery region and an outer periphery region, wherein said reader is a card reader and said noncontact information storage medium is an IC card;
- and
- display means for displaying a communication result of whether a reception of data transmitted from the medium via the antenna is successful, wherein said communication result includes a recognition of a proper positioning between the medium and the antenna coil, said display means including an LCD device disposed along said inner periphery region of said antenna coil and a plurality of LEDs disposed along said outer periphery.
A system for a noncontact information storage medium, having a semiconductor memory built in the medium and a reader for reading data from the medium via an antenna through magnetic induction or magnetic coupling, the system comprising:
