To provide a compact and low-cost glass antenna in which an antenna position can be easily recognized by emitting a light near the antenna position, and thus a passerby or the like can easily grasp the position when he or she holds up a tag. The glass antenna has plate-like glassesA andB, antennasA andB provided on the plate-like glassesA andB, and a light emitting unitthat is provided so as at least a part thereof to be overlapped with the antennas as seen from the direction that the antennasA andB are directed, and scatters the light guided by the plate-like glassesA andB to emit light in the vicinity of the antenna.

Glass antenna

One purpose is to provide a user friendly IC card reading apparatus conforming to different communication standards. A linear power amplifier supplies an antenna circuit with a power source voltage for Type A which is supplied from a power supply switching circuit when transmitting a radio signal of Type A, while supplying the antenna circuit with a power source voltage for Type B which is supplied from the power supply switching circuit when transmitting a radio signal of Type B, based on the instructions of a CPU. This makes it possible to read out of IC cards of both Type A and Type B.

IC card reading apparatus and its related method

Either one or both of the antenna pattern and a ground pattern, which reflects a radiated radio wave radiated from the antenna pattern, are buried inside the glass substrate. As a result, it is possible to provide high-gain, low-loss glass antennas in which glass is used as their substrates.

In order to provide a compact loop antenna, for use in an inductive read/write apparatus, capable of extending a communication range even if the antenna area or power supply thereto is constrained, a compact loop antenna, for use in an inductive read/write apparatus, comprises two layers of loop antennas, each thereof comprising a printed circuit boardfor featuring a loop pattern, a loop patternformed by an etching process on the printed circuit board, and a start terminaland a end terminalfor supplying power for signal transmission and outputting a received signal and each thereof maintaining a predetermined distance from each other.

A command from an upper device is transferred from a communicating section via three bus interfaces to three command control sections and a result of the command processing is transferred therethrough from each of the command control sections to the communicating section and, a diagnosis command is transferred from the communicating section via three diagnosis check paths to the command control sections and a result of the diagnosis is transferred therethrough from each of the command control section to the communicating section. A command received from the upper device is transferred to a command control section or command control sections confirmed as normal as a result of diagnosis for execution of the command processing.

As an alarm reception flag offers an &ldquo;ON&rdquo; state indicating that a sign of an occurrence of abnormality on a digital cash module associated with the alarm reception flag is detected, a control unit of a digital cash safe performs on a priority basis a processing for transfer of digital cash data to an IC card, which is the primary service of the digital cash safe, and simultaneously performs a save processing for digital cash data stored in the digital cash module on which a sign of abnormality is detected.
