Abstract
An integrated circuit card including: a card body; an input means formed on the card body; and a function part that operates corresponding to the input of the input means; wherein, in the direction of the thickness of the card body, an uppermost part of the input means is located at the same height as that of a surface of the card body, or is located more inwardly than the surface of the card body.
Claims8
An integrated circuit card comprising:
- a card body including a first component and a second component, the second component defining an outer surface of the card body and being operatively secured to the first component;
- an input means formed on a first surface of the first component of the card body;
- and
- a function part formed on the first surface of the first component of the card body, the function part operating corresponding to the input of the input means;
- wherein, in a direction of a thickness of the card body, an uppermost part of the input means is located at an approximately equal height as that of the outer surface of the card body, or is located more inwardly than the outer surface of the card body;
- and
- wherein the height from the first surface of the first component to an uppermost part of the input means is lower than the height from the first surface of the first component to an uppermost part of the function part.
