Reader and authentication system

Abstract

The present invention provides a reader that can handle identification information read from a mobile device as if it were read from a card medium. [Solution] The reader 40 includes a first communication unit 41 that receives identification information from the mobile terminal 30 by communicating with the mobile terminal 30, a specification unit 45 that identifies the card type corresponding to the identification information by communicating with the mobile terminal 30 using the first communication unit 41, and a second communication unit 42 that outputs the identification information and card type information indicating the identified card type.

Claims

1. A first communication unit that communicates with a mobile terminal and receives identification information from the mobile terminal, A specific unit identifies the card type corresponding to the identification information by communicating with the mobile terminal using the first communication unit, The system includes a second communication unit that outputs the identification information and card type information indicating the identified card type. A reading device.

2. The identification information is identical to the identification information recorded on the card medium having the specified card type. The reading device according to claim 1.

3. The second communication unit further outputs source information indicating that the identification information was transmitted by the mobile terminal. The reading device according to claim 1.

4. The identification unit communicates with the mobile terminal using the first communication unit and identifies the card type based on the ID type information obtained from the mobile terminal. The reading device according to claim 1.

5. The second communication unit outputs the card type information in place of the ID type information. The reading device according to claim 4.

6. The first communication unit is capable of receiving a plurality of identification pieces of information, including the identification piece, from the mobile terminal. The aforementioned multiple pieces of identification information are those whose corresponding ID type information is different from each other. The reading device according to claim 4.

7. The identification unit, as communication with the mobile terminal using the first communication unit, performs polling to request a response of the identification information corresponding to a specific type, sequentially changing the specific type, and identifies the card type based on the timing at which the response of the identification information is received from the mobile terminal. The reading device according to claim 1.

8. The aforementioned specific types include types of card media. The first communication unit can obtain the identification information response from the card medium by polling. The reading device according to claim 7.

9. The first communication unit receives the identification information from the mobile terminal by performing short-range wireless communication with the mobile terminal. The reading device according to claim 1.

10. A reading device according to any one of claims 1 to 9, The system includes an authentication device that receives the identification information and card type information output by the reader and authenticates the received identification information. Authentication system.

11. Furthermore, it includes an output unit that outputs the authentication history by the authentication device, The authentication device receives, in addition to the identification information and the card type information, source information output by the reader, which indicates that the identification information was transmitted by the mobile terminal. In the history, it is possible to determine whether the authenticated identification information was transmitted via the mobile terminal or the card medium. The authentication system according to claim 10.
