Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the constitution for preventing a forgery, and also, to obtain a recording medium of a large capacity by making its shape solid, and forming its side face to a curved surface, for instance, a spherical body, an egg shape or a column. CONSTITUTION:A part of a spherical body 5 is formed to a plane part 6, a rotary core hole 7 is provided on its center, and a dead-weight 8 is attached to the inside of the flat part. As for a material, a plastic resin is selected, and a magnetic storage part 9 is provided on the periphery of the curved surface of the spherical body 5. As for the spherical body 5, both a hollow and filling to the inside are available. As for its dimension, in order to secure the storage capacity of a card type, diameter 40mm is enough, and as a matter of fact, about 40-60mm is desirable by considering the storage capacity and portability. The magnetic storage part 9 is positioned in the center part of the magnetic spherical body 5 and its width is set to about 10-20mm. By forming its shape to a three-dimensional one, a forgery can be easily prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a prepaid card and its device used for paying for parking, for example, and related art.In the conventional system using a card, it is easy to counterfeit the card. . For this reason, various efforts have been made to prevent accidents caused by these.

For example, a protective magnetic layer may be provided on top of the magnetic layer where the necessary data is written, or a method for inputting codes;
In general, methods have been devised and used in which discrimination is made based on the activation or non-operation of a switch element that operates based on the distance between the card and the reading machine.

Figure @1 shows a conventional protection method using a double magnetic layer.A magnetic tape section (2) of a plastic card (1) has a magnetic layer (3) with a weak magnetic force on the upper side, and a magnetic layer (3) with a weak magnetic force on the lower side. A true magnetic 1m (4) is provided to prevent counterfeiting of the necessary information.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention With such a configuration, there are problems with the addition of a plastic card production process and quality confirmation, resulting in extra process steps.

Moreover, since the card and the magnetic head move in a straight line, it was not possible to obtain a memorized word that was very memorized.

An object of the present invention is to provide a storage medium that has a simple structure for preventing counterfeiting and has a large capacity.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is a magnetic storage medium characterized in that the magnetic storage medium is formed into a three-dimensional shape and a magnetic tape is placed on the peripheral surface of the magnetic storage medium.

Function According to the present invention, by forming the shape three-dimensionally, it is possible to easily prevent counterfeiting.

Furthermore, by changing the shape or size, it is possible to obtain even more effective counterfeit prevention and an increase in storage capacity.

Embodiment FIG. 2.3 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view and a cross-sectional view of a spherical magnetic storage medium (hereinafter referred to as a magnetic sphere).

A part of the sphere (5) is made into a flat part (6), and a rotating core hole (7) is formed in the center thereof, and a weight (8) is attached inside the flat part.

In this example, plastic resin was selected as the material. A ceramic storage section (9) is provided around the curved surface of the sphere (5). The sphere (5) can be either hollow or filled inside, but in this example it is hollow for weight reduction and fashionability.

As for dimensions, a diameter of 40 m is sufficient to ensure the storage capacity of a conventional card type, and in reality, a diameter of about 40 to 60 m is desirable in consideration of storage capacity and portability.

The magnetic storage part (9) is located at the center of the magnetic sphere (5) and has a width of about 10 to 20#.

Figure 4 is a configuration diagram of a machine used when paying parking fees when exiting a parking lot, and the main part is the main body (10).

Clock (11), display panel (12), memory calculation device (13)
, quality 0/diameter measuring device (14), motor (15), !
It consists of a magnetic head (16) and is configured to allow automatic payment by inserting a magnetic sphere (5) shown in Fig. 2.3 when leaving the warehouse.

In this example, the warehousing machine that writes the warehousing time at the time of warehousing is almost the same as the warehousing settlement machine, so it is omitted.
When the user leaves the warehouse, the user inserts the magnetic sphere (5) whose warehousing time is written in the magnetic storage section (9) by the magnetic head of the machine at the time of warehousing, through the slot (17) of the settlement machine at the time of warehousing.

This inserted magnetic sphere (5) is stage A part Cl8)
There, the flat part (6) is turned down and set in a position where the rotation core hole (7) and the rotation shaft of the motor (15) fit.

In this stage A section (18), this magnetic sphere (5
) is determined by the mass and diameter measuring device (14).
Judgment is made by checking size and insect marks.

Furthermore, if necessary, it is also possible to add a pattern or magnetic tape to the inside of the sphere to provide even more anti-counterfeiting effects.

In this process, if the magnetic sphere (5) is determined to be abnormal, the belt (19) is operated to return it to the input port (17).

If it is determined to be normal, the shutter solenoid (20)
is activated, the shutter (21) is opened, and the magnetic sphere (
5) is set on the stay 98 part (22).

At this time as well, as in the stage A section (18), the magnetic sphere (5) is set with the flat part (6) facing down and in a position where the rotation core hole (7) and the rotation shaft of the motor (15') fit together.

In this stay 98 part (22), the magnetic sphere (5) is rotated by the motor (15'), and the storage date and time written in the magnetic storage part (9) of the magnetic sphere (5) at the time of storage by the magnetic head (16) is Based on the current time data obtained from the clock (11), the storage calculation device (13) calculates the inventory time, converts this to a degree, and then subtracts this from the remaining degree. , as a new remaining power, the magnetic head (1G) reads the magnetic storage part (
9) and taken out to the return slot (27).

If the remaining power of the magnetic sphere (5) is insufficient and cannot be reduced, the remaining power is first subtracted and the used magnetic sphere is demagnetized by the demagnetizing device (23).
In addition, the used item is clearly marked with a stamp TL (24), and the item is returned to the return slot (27).

The user selects either paying an additional fee or purchasing a new magnetic sphere as a method of paying for the shortfall, and inserts the money into the cash slot (25).

In the case of additional fee payment, the shortfall is settled by the cash identification device (26). In the case of purchasing a new magnetic sphere, the delivery solenoid (28) is activated, the new magnetic sphere (5') is carried out to the stay 98 section (22), and the new remaining power after deducting the insufficient power is sent to the magnetic head (16). After paying for the missing amount, it is returned to the return slot (21).

In this example, a spherical shape was chosen as the shape of the magnetic storage medium, but this shape can be oval or oval if it has curved sides.
It can also be implemented in a three-dimensional shape such as a cylinder.

Effects As described above, according to the present invention, simply changing the shape of the magnetic storage medium to a three-dimensional type is effective in preventing counterfeiting, and the storage capacity can be significantly increased by changing the diameter slightly. Can be done.

Furthermore, this shape makes it possible to prevent accidents such as loss and to create something that is fun to own and has an excellent design, expanding its utility value.
