The pay token is equipped with four or five selector buttons for carrying out a large variety of performance modifications. Aided by visual feedback through an integrated display window, the user may using a single button
(a) insert a confidential number into the pay token for internal comparison with a factory-made number which cannot be read out
(b) Select and activate one of 9 account or similar registers
(c) Define a small cash amount in single figures currency units or a multiple thereof which the user desires to transfer from a selected token account to an uncommitted register, the rapid payment register or money register. The latter is electronically so connected that entry of the Personal Identifying Number is not required prior to payment from that register- as is required when payment is made from any of the account registers directly.
The purpose of producing a long-life multiple account pay token is gradually to reduce the demand of coins and bank notes thereby lowering the high cost of minting and printing them; in parallel thereto the relatively high cost of operating cheque accounts by Banks shall be reduced.,下面是Portable data carrier incorporating manually presettable processing modes专利的具体信息内容。
This invention relates to improvements in portable self-contained data carrying components which can be used for bi-directional communication via an associable data terminal with a calculator or location encoder terminal, and which data carrier is capable of performing at least a portion of the required data processing function within its own miniaturized circuitry.
The present paper is a continuation of the authors' earlier work as manifested in British Patent 1,314021, B.P Applications 7931208 7911393,8010709, US Patents 3,870,866 and 3,906460 to some of which reference will have to be made in the course of the detail description. Also other attempts have become known to create personal information bearer; it is noteworthy that the general trend is restricted to the aim of making already existing bank cards more secure and of obliging the general public to observe the constraints placed upon their proper use. To this comes the additional aim of avoiding on-line contact from the bank-or point of sale terminal with a central computer installation because of the considerable cost of dedicated data lines.
The object of this invention includes but is not limited to the named improvements; not the replacement of one bank card by another is the main objective but the replacement of money in a large number of situations where this implies inconvenience as well as administrative inefficiency, often rightout harmful or costly bottlenecks in the delivery of services and facilities. The purpose of this invention is therefore the creation of devices which, on the one hand, can be handled as conveniently and rapidly as a coin in the pocket, on the other hand become a link at the disposal of the individual in a network of electro- nic fund transfer communication lines.
While thus the field of 'small cash transaction' is in the foreground, the technique to be developed must also fully meet the requirements of a bank card for medium and even large purchases. The comprehensiveness of these objectives brings problems since it is wellknown in the art that a valuable card can be protected against misuse by finders in the event of loss only by certain preparatory action required to be performed by the card user before the card functions. This is the keying in of a secret personal number which is checked against the true record of that number in the card itself.
Such a process takes time, there may be more people in a queue using the same terminal. Someone wishing to pay, say, 47 p in coins would resent having to spend any time whatever on dialling a personal number. Speed and Security appear thus as contradicting requirements. One of the purposes of this invention is to overcome this matter. Another problem is that many people have several accounts which they use dependent on circumstances. In some cases Giro is best, in others one of the large Clearing Banks, in still others a local Bank, and, here cash flow suggests a credit card account is often used. All these accounts should benefit from electronic fund transfer technology but it would be too expensive to produce a separate 'electronic coin' for each of them. This leads to the concept of a"multi-mode electronic fund transfer purse". Just as a purse has several compartments meant for coinage, bank notes, credit cards and cheques, so the proposed on-person pay device would be adaptable to give out or receive value data at one time from into a selected bank account, at another time from/into a credit account, and for all rapid small cash transactions from a money store. In addition, the device should perform checking and calculating duties in situations where small cash payments . are frequent such as in supermarkets, in the use of taxis and public transport, and in many access control requirements where payment for access, or the time lapse of the period within the paid area,also occurs.( See for example Br. P. 857,658 or US Patent 3,609,300 and US Patent 3,870,866 ).Paralell with the described requirements goes the need to be able to call forth on a display window, preferably away from any terminal, the status in any of the memory sections. In its general form, new solutions are offered and described in the copending British patent application Ser. No. 8028824 . The techniques hereunder described constitute special embodiments which, among others, illustrate the possibility of producing a very compact personal data carrier such as could be carried about on a key ring together with standard Yale or similar keys.
The explanation of the invention principles is aided by examples which are illustrated in drawings 1 - 9 wherein
The display window shown in Figure 4,item 80, can also be seen in the diagram Figure 1A, item 15; equally, the push buttons C,R,T and D can be seen in the said diagram, figures 1A,1B.
The function of the control button R is to reset all temporary stores. By depressing button C the Oscillator 1 receives operating voltage from the battery which is encapsulated in the component(Figs 2 or 4). In consequence 80 c/s pulses pass through gate 7 which can only work when the device is in its PS - 0 condition ( program step 0, see patent appl. 8028824 ). Applied to a divide by 64 counter the output provides for one clock pulse every i seconds which passes through OR gate lla to a BCD counter 9 which applies the 4-line output to an 4-7 encoder 14. The ripple counter 10 has five output lines which act as enable inputs to the 5 latchable 4 to 7 encoder circuits within block 14.These in turn drive five display digits in unit 15. Initially, only the first digit on the left is enabled through ripple counter output 'l'. As button 'C' is depressed the first digit on the left counts successively from 1 to 9 at ¾ seconds interval and goes on counting that way as long as button C remains depressed. The user has the task to insert into the first three left-hand figu..res a 3- digit number known only to him. This number is then to be compared in a comparator 18 with a number permanently record/in a 12 bit shift register 17. Dependent on whether the comparator output 18a is forthcoming or not, any subsequent operation is either permitted or not. - The personal data are inserted into the shift register 17 by the issuing office when the data token is first acquired. In that initial condition the register is in its serial mode due to the fact that the fuse-resistor 21 is still conductive. After the insertion of the number during program step PS - 1 ( reference BPA 8028824), the register is still in the serial mode and to put it once for all into the paralell data input mode the pushbutton T must be pressed. This renders the transistor 20 highly conductive so that the relatively high . current burns out the resistor element 21.
The method of producing three personal number digits is to release button C as soon as the desired first digit appears. This causes oscillator 1 to stop, at the same time the ripple counter 10 receives a single clock pulse generated in the resistor-capacitor combination 4,5. Accordingly, the next digit is enabled and when button C is depressed again the count begins there while the first digit remains latched. And so on until all the three personal numbers are in place. This insertion of the secret personal 'Enable' number- can be carried out in complete privacy, and therefore constitutes an improvement on the present practice of having to use a public terminal. In this system the private identification number is actually compared with the number in register 17 only after the data token is used for any functional purpose. Prior to that, any error can be corrected by cancelling the display by means of reset button R and repeating the process. Once the token proceeds to a functional stage the error cannot be undone; only a limited number of such errors are permitted before the data token is irreversibly disabled ( see US patent 3,906 460 ).This is achieved by providing in the circuitry (here not shown) a so called fraud counter. The same is advanced every time a faulty comparison occurs and, at a given or preset point, the register causes the named irreversible action.
Once the PIN number is inserted, the user may carry it about ( the display would be cut out by an internal time switch after about 6 seconds ) until the occasion for use arises. In that case, any payment would be made from a previously set account store. However, if payment should be made from another account store, this must be preset as well, and that is done in the following manner:
The count-down debiting pulses are applied to any of the selected stores in program step 8 ( see pat specie cation BP 8028824). External readout occurs in PS-7 whereas in PS-12 value data are added to the status of a selected account and in PS-12 the result is externally read out ( see the named British application ). 'Count down' is identical with reducing the value data level by the amount preset by the external point of sale terminal. Overstepping the allowed credit is not possible since the readout in PS-7 establishes at once whether there is anough value in the account concerned.
Next the simple data carrying component capable of holding only one account memory will be explained by means of figures 2 and 3. A plastic container 50 comprises a hollow space 51 for placing therein ferric yokes and cores57a and 58a with their coils 57 and 58 respectively. One of these serves the injection of clock pulses and energy, the other sends and receives the bidirectio- nal data stream. Another internal space is 53 wherein a trigger level 54 is hinged and spring-loaded against an opening in key ring 53.By pressing lever 54 downwards the ring is unlatched and can now turn in either direction,permitting keys to be changed. Finally,there is a spare-out space for a long-life rechargable battery 56 which is used for maintaining memory states in the encapsulated circuitry. The read/write unit with which this data carrier cooperates will be described by means of fig. 8 & 9 further below. In the area 52,Fig.2,space exists for the I C chips and subsidery items. Figure 4 and 5 show essentially the same unit equipped with a display 80 and the already discussed buttons C R T D. Both the afore-described simple and the multi-mode pay tablet may be used in the same data transfer terminal of fig. 8. As can be seen in Fig. 5, the pushbuttons are recessed but can be actuated by means of a pencil or the like. To assure readiness at all times to operate the buttons, the key ring 75 may hold a pin 81 having a displaceable spring 82. The pin can be taken off easily for the intended use and be just as easily put back on the key ring.( Fig. 4a ).
While the circuit of Fig. lA and 1B could be added to the circuitry for example as envisaged in patent applications 7931208 or 8004546 or 8028824 which are devoted to the data processing of the data tablet at a point of sale terminal, it is probably more economic to design a single dedicated data processing chip capable of performing all the functions.
The principle of this concept is represented in the functional diagram Fig. 6 which is largely self-explanatory. According to the security principles ex- plained in the cited patent application at least two number comparisons are performed for each point of sale transaction, and at least four such comparisons when the data tablet is updated with added value. A similar com- parison is required for verification of the personal identity number. It is therefore possible to unify all 'word recognition' operations More such comparisons occur when remnant money value is to be returned to the originating account within the data tablet. It is therefore desirable to unite all 'word' recognition operations. Similar contractions might be rade with res- spect to the basic processor program as also the internal data transfer and display functions. - Current batteries can stand only a definite maximum charging current. To ensure that this current is not exceeded when energy is transferred from a terminal, the capacitor 93 is provided which rapidly accepts a charge at a higher voltage.The discharge of the capacitor then occurs via field effect transitor 94 into battry 97.
Figure 7 represents an alterntive configuration of a data carrier. It consists of a steel frame 100. On its upper face are inserted the push buttons 103 and the display window 102. A handle 101 allows insertion of a standard key ring. On the rearside the flanges show lips 107. The interior containes potted circuitry and, to the right of the buttons, - equally potted are data and energy transfer coils. The interior plastic part is item 104. A paper card containing information useful when the item is lost , may be placed between lips 107. This item is marked 105.
Finally, an example for checking the data tablet rapidly is shown in Figs 8 and 9. The tablet is introduced by sliding it upright along the smooth table surface 68 between sections 60A and 60B from right to left. When reaching key section 60s, the same will dovetail with the corresponding recess portions 50s (Fig.2) or 70s (Fig. 4)respectively. Just before the moved data tablet is stopped by stopping rod 64, the spring loaded latch levers 61A and 61B snap inwards and so confine the data tablet to the precise area where it should be as long as the data transfer lasts.This period lasts a fraction of a second whereafter the stopping rod 64 is withdrawn rapidly allowing the tablet to be moved out in a forward direction.
@) The feedback line is important in the context since it senses the voltage level of the capacitor 93 and causes all clock data to be disabled until line 98 at imput e goes high. This ensures that the starting voltage level is sufficient.
The piston 64 is in this example part of a pneumatic actuator 63 with the pneumatic supply tube 65 and the electro-pneumatic valve 66 which receives its supply through pipe 69.
The electrical information transfer occurs inductively by means of sensor coils ( not shown ) whose axis are indicated by center lines 67 and 68 which , in the read/write position, are congruent with the center lines of the coils 57 and 58 of Figure 2.
