Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a hybrid IC card having functions both of a contact type IC card, which is supplied with operation power and sends/receives signals via an external terminal, and of a noncontact type IC card, which is supplied with operation power electromagnetically and sends/receives signals without using any external contacts.
A hybrid IC card has an IC card and a housing. The IC card has a card member and an integrated circuit device fixed in a recess of the card member, and the integrated circuit device includes on one surface an antenna terminal and an external connection terminal while the opposite surface includes an integrated circuit element functioning as a contact type card and a noncontact type card, in which the antenna terminal and the external connection terminal are connected with the integrated circuit element. The housing includes an antenna and an antenna contact is connected to the antenna, to which the IC card is attached removably, wherein in a state that the IC card is attached to the housing, the antenna terminal of the IC card is in contact with the antenna contact of the housing so that they are connected electrically, and the IC card functions as a noncontact type IC card. |
