摘要： A system employing encoded cards and a card readout machine wherein the cards incorporate both embossments and electrically conductive means which cooperate with said machine to read out information encoded on individual cards. The readout machine which is employed in the system may be adapted for either ''''on line'''' usage with a computer or perform ''''off line'''' functions. In the latter arrangement the readout machine incorporates means to punch a memorized code thereinto, means to read encoding embossments on a card and means including electrical circuitry to determine for card verification purposes whether or not embossment encoding on the card complements the combination punched into the machine. The off line machine further includes means cooperating with electrically conductive encoding means on the card to determine whether or not the card is counterfeit. The on line machine incorporates means for reading a card encoded with both embossments and printed circuitry and for feeding the encoded information to an electronic data processing (EDP) center. In addition, the on line machine may be utilized to feed to the EDP center information relating to such matters as the location of the machine, the amount of money being charged and/or information regarding the source of the card being utilized in combination with the machine.

摘要： A system employing encoded cards and a card readout machine wherein the cards incorporate both embossments and a light responsive encoding surface which cooperate with said machine to read out information encoded on individual cards. The readout machine which is employed in the system may be adapted for either ''''on line'''' usage with a computer or perform ''''off line'''' functions. Regardless of the usage to which it is adapted, the machine employs embossment encoding readout means in the form of a plurality of sensing pins which are mounted for movement within the machine and are adapted to be brought into engagement with an encoded card when it is suitably positioned within the machine. The pins perform switching functions in the machine''s card readout circuitry in response to the locations of the embossments on the card. The embossments may take the form of embossed card identification numerals or a pattern of discrete embossments arranged in accordance with a predetermined code. The card further includes a light responsive encoding surface which cooperates with a suitable light source on the machine for anticounterfeit or fraud detection purposes.
