- G07F7/0873—Details of the card reader
Definitions
- the invention relates to a card reader and a method for triggering an event in one such device according to the generic terms of the independent Expectations.
- Card readers of this type are for example used in telephones to prepaid cards read and devalue. The value of the card is according to the applicable fees will be reduced until the card is devalued. Validated cards usually have only worth to collectors unless the cards can be recharged.
- the card is checked whether the The value of the card is in a certain range or has reached a target value and whether it is at the same time belongs to a certain subgroup of all possible cards. If these two conditions are met, then so a certain event is triggered. At this event for example it can be a surprise act for the user, in particular to indicate whether the user has won a lottery or not.
- a serial number memory is preferably stored in the card arranged, which checked by the reader becomes. The event is only triggered if based on the serial number it is determined whether the card belongs to the subgroup. For example, the Final digits of the serial number compared to a table be stored in the reader.
- the serial number is a number for each individual card is different, or at least only one small number of cards is used at the same time.
- a group memory can be provided which says whether the card to trigger the event is justified at all.
- Such a group memory needs only a single bit or a few bits and allows a secure check of the card authorization, even if it cannot be determined based on the serial number alone is whether the card can trigger the event. In particular, it is not necessary that all of the potentially authorized cards with certain serial numbers Possess characteristics.
- the value verification and selection step is preferred executed regardless of whether the store of value previously changed in the same reader is. This has the advantage that not all of the readers need to be able to follow the steps mentioned perform. If the card is e.g. devalued in one device, which cannot trigger the event, can the user then checks them in a device which set up to perform the necessary steps is.
- a prepaid card In the embodiment shown in the figures is an application in the field of Telephones. Especially in the public area such devices are often equipped with a card reader. To operate the device, a prepaid card must be in this reader will be inserted.
- the prepaid card has a memory, for example optically or electronically can be, which reflects the current card value. During a conversation, the accrued Card fees are charged and their value is reduced.
- Common cards of this type are, for example, in the ISO standard 7816 and described in the ETSI standard PrEN 726. Cards of this type are e.g. as "postcards" or Credit cards used.
- FIG. Such a map is shown in FIG. It has contacts 1 for the card reader connected to a memory chip inside the card are. As a rule, it bears an inscription 2, in The present example also has a printed serial number 3rd
- FIG. 2 shows the basic structure of a telephone set with card reader 4.
- the device includes one Controller 5, which accesses data in a memory 6.
- the controller 5 controls the function the telephone part 8, which comprises the elements that give the device the actual telephone functions, such as. a handset and suitable interface circuits to the telephone network 9.
- the Telephone part 8 also a modem, by means of which the controller 5 can exchange binary data over the telephone network 9.
- the first type is conventional cards, that have a certain initial value.
- the card value is reduced in a known manner when making calls, until the card is canceled. After that, the card has at most still collector's value.
- the second type of card is lottery tickets. These cards are also included at the beginning equipped with a certain value when calling is reduced according to the applicable fees. As soon as However, if the card is canceled, it acts as a lottery ticket. If the telephone device detects a canceled ticket, it checks whether this card is entitled to win. If so, this will suit the user communicated.
- Map memory refers to a non-volatile memory which is divided into two areas 10 and 11 is divided. In area 10 there are values which will not be changed after the card has been sold can, while the data in area 11 also from Phone reader at least to a limited extent are changeable.
- serial number memory in the protected area 10 12 arranged.
- This memory contains one Serial number, which is different for each card, or who have at least few cards. It can for example, it is a number with which the Card manufacturers ascending the cards of a delivery numbered.
- the serial number can, as shown in Figure 1, additionally printed on the outside of the card be.
- a group memory 13 This memory indicates whether it a ticket is a lottery ticket or a conventional one Card deals. This information is special then significant, if not based on the serial number alone can be determined whether a card is a ticket or not.
- the group memory is required just a few bits.
- Figure 4 is an extract of the memory 6 of the Reader shown. Located in this area a list of the serial numbers that are eligible to win. In a first part 16 of the table are for example those serial numbers that have a profit of Show CHF 100.-. These serial numbers are in the present Example characterized by their three last digits are 235, 421 or 991. In part 17 of the The table contains a corresponding list of final digits for serial numbers that entitle you to CHF 1,000. In the last part 18 there is a list the serial numbers to which one of the main prizes is due.
- the data are preferably in the table according to Figure 4 in encrypted form before the danger unauthorized reading, e.g. on a stolen Reader, reduce.
- the group memory 13 of the card read out. If the card is due to this Is not a lottery ticket (step 22), then the Check at point C canceled and the card is marked as normal prepaid card used.
- step 24 the serial number from the corresponding serial number memory 12 with those in the Table compared according to Figure 4. The number meets the Not win criteria (step 26), so the test canceled at point C.
- step 28 the card value is in the value memory 14 after each debit, repeated if necessary, checked. If the card value has not yet reached 0 (step 22), the test is terminated at point C. Otherwise an event is triggered at point B.
- the device then automatically connects to the telephone the lottery operator's headquarters (step 34) where the winner is told how to get to his Profit comes, e.g. by sending his card to the lottery operator sends or at a designated place swaps for the profit.
- a different event e.g. a text adapted to the profit the display 7 is shown.
- the table according to FIG. 4 or the corresponding one Evaluation algorithm can be stored permanently in the device be.
- this has the disadvantage of being a scam through, however, complex investigations which of the cards are eligible to win.
- the winning numbers can be changed periodically.
- the value in the table can preferably be according to Figure 4 or the corresponding evaluation algorithm per Telephone by reprogramming the terminal accordingly be tracked.
- the Serial number mathematically using any suitable algorithm be transformed, the transformed Value is then checked against certain criteria. So can, for example, by means of a serial number a hash value is generated using a suitable algorithm, e.g. a checksum, showing a win if the hash value has a predetermined size.
- the card must be eligible to win not necessarily encoded in the card number too be. It is also conceivable that in the protected part 10 of the card memory, corresponding information is explicit is registered. This information can e.g. include a phone number in the event of a win Called certain height or displayed to the user becomes.
- steps 28 and 30 using a random algorithm decides whether the card will be eligible to win should. The result can no longer be changed on the map registered and communicated to the user. Because of statistical considerations should be considered in this case, however very high amounts of winnings are waived.
- the The card is a value card that can only be validated once.
- a chip card can also be used is rechargeable.
- the user when loading his card tell if he has an additional one Who wants to pay the fee to attend entitled to the lottery. If so, the group memory 13 set the card accordingly and the card becomes a ticket.
- the invention is not only for use in Suitable for telephones. It is also conceivable for others Equip devices with a corresponding function, e.g. Petrol station machines, drinks machines, etc.
