    摘要: In a value box in an electronic money system with a high reliability which is excellent in usage efficiency and maintenance, a front door and a rear door are provided before and after a main body portion and an indicator is provided to show operating states of a door locking key and a whole value box, particularly, a state in which a trouble or the like has occurred in the value box and a maintenance is necessary is provided for the front door. A communication line for transmitting information regarding power source lines and electronic money for a number of IC card readers/writers provided in the main body is connected to the rear door. The front door can be opened by hinges. A number of IC card readers/writers are enclosed in the main body portion. IC card inserting slots of IC cards for those IC card readers/writers are arranged and provided in the front surface of the main body portion at two upper and lower stages. An IC card operation indicator is provided in correspondence to each IC card inserting slot.

    摘要: An electronic wallet includes a plurality of operating keys at least having a plurality of numeric and calculation keys, a display part for displaying thereon electronic money information and IC card state information, at least one independent function switch in addition to a power switch, a plurality of control keys for operating the electronic money information stored in IC cards and the IC card state information, and a plurality of function keys having a plurality of function level layers having a plurality of tasks, for selecting the plurality of tasks having the respective function level layers. Thereby the electronic wallet can have many functions. Further, a modem unit, which is removably mounted to card slots of the electronic wallet, is provided with a through opening to communicate with the card slots and a modular jack to be connected to a communication line. Since a user can insert the IC card into the electronic wallet from the card slots with the modem unit already mounted to the card slots, handling of the electronic wallet is convenient upon transfer of the electronic money through the communication line. In addition, the user can insert the IC card into the electronic wallet which is still connected to the communication line.

    摘要: A processing apparatus for processing information contained in an IC card. When an application is newly registered in the IC card, registration of a corresponding service application program in the processing apparatus is required. Further, when applications stored in the IC card differ from those stored in the processing apparatus, a method of displaying names of the applications in a uniformized manner is required. For coping with these cases, an IC card read/write unit of the processing apparatus is made use of for registering service application programs in a memory incorporated in the processing apparatus, while the application names are registered in a memory area of the IC card in a common character code for allowing the names of the applications registered in the IC card to be displayed whenever occasion requires.

    摘要: An electronic-money collecting system is capable of returning a lost IC card used as an ‘electronic purse’ to the owner of the lost IC card or an institution issuing the lost IC card with a high degree of efficiency without imposing a burden on the lost-IC-card finder or the institution issuing the IC card. When a lost IC card in which money data representing the amount of electronic money stored on the card is found, the found IC card is inserted into a terminal installed at places, such as a banking organization or a public institution. At that time, information read out from the IC card is transmitted to a center by way of a communication line. At the center, a storage unit is searched for information on the legitimate owner of the IC card. owner. The owner of the lost IC card is then notified.
