Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a card reader that accepts and processes the short side of a substantially rectangular IC card conforming to international and JIS standards, said card reader being capable of easily determining whether or not the orientation of the inserted IC card is correct. This card reader comprises: an insertion port wherein a card having a built-in IC chip is inserted; a metal detection mechanism for detecting an external connection terminal of the IC chip formed in the card; and a tip detection mechanism for detecting the tip, in the insertion direction, of the card inserted from the insertion port. In this card reader, the metal detection mechanism and the tip detection mechanism are provided such that, when the tip detection mechanism detects the tip, in the insertion direction, of the card inserted in the correct orientation from the insertion port, the metal detection mechanism is arranged at a position that detects the external connection terminal.
