Description

  The present invention relates to a portable storage case used for storing and carrying a recording medium.

  In the case of payment with a credit card, it is usually passed through a credit information inquiry terminal called CAT (Credit Authorization Terminal), and it is settled at the stage where the credit card company authenticates. In addition, there is a device called a skimmer for stealing credit card information, and this skimmer causes a copy of the encoded data of the magnetic stripe portion of the credit card. The information read in this way is used to produce a tampered card that allows illegal payments. In this way, forged cards are manufactured by illegally reading out magnetic recording information such as credit cards and cash cards using skimmers. Many damages such as being withdrawn have occurred.

Many of the crimes were to collect skimmers set on the CAT and steal the magnetic recording data of financial cards such as credit cards and cash cards. Recently, however, it has been discovered that there is a transmitter that can receive magnetic recording data at a remote location by radio, and it is difficult to identify the criminal. Also, as card crimes become more widespread, the criminals' tricks have gradually become more sophisticated, and there are cases where victims suffer damage even though they do not remember using credit cards or cash cards. This is a technique for extracting magnetic recording information without touching any credit card or cash card. In other words, the magnetic recording information can be read illegally just by holding the reader over the pocket or bag of clothing that seems to contain a credit card or cash card. There are many cases of being damaged. Because many victims are not aware of the damage, it is more difficult to identify the culprit without knowing when and where the information was read.
In other words, as long as you own a credit card and a cash card, it is a damage that can happen to anyone.

As a crime prevention measure, for example, a magnetic prevention case capable of protecting a magnetic recording layer such as a magnetic card from an external magnetic field is known. This is a magnetic shield sheet having a configuration in which two rectangular magnetic shield plates having a predetermined size are bonded to a mount in a state where one side of the magnetic shield plate is abutted with each other at a predetermined interval and arranged in parallel. This is a magnetic shielding case having a configuration in which the magnetic shielding plate is folded in two so that the magnetic shielding plate faces outside at the abutting portion of the magnetic shielding plate and is housed in a plastic case (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-105595 A

  In the case of the above magnetic shielding case, a magnetic shielding plate having a size substantially the same as or slightly larger than the magnetic recording layer attached to the bankbook, magnetic card or the like to be accommodated is arranged biased to one side in the width direction of the mount. . Therefore, the user needs to accommodate the passbook or magnetic card so that the magnetic recording layer is aligned with the position where the magnetic shield plate is located. Further, when the magnetic recording layer is provided along the longitudinal direction of the magnetic card, the magnetic recording layer cannot be aligned with the magnetic shield plate, and information in the magnetic card may not be protected.

  The present invention solves the problems of the related art, and the object of the present invention is more practical, enables efficient storage of the recording medium, and ensures the information in the recording medium. It is to provide a portable storage case that can be protected.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is a portable storage case that can be carried with a recording medium, and includes a storage portion that stores the recording medium, and a metal that shields external magnetism and electromagnetic waves. A shielding material, and the metal shielding material can cover the entire surface of at least both sides of the data storage unit regardless of the orientation of the recording medium stored in the storage unit. Features.

  According to the portable storage case of the present invention, regardless of the orientation of the recording medium stored in the storage section for storing the recording medium, the shielding metal material so as to cover the entire surface of at least the data storage section of the recording medium. Therefore, it is possible to reliably shield external electromagnetic waves and magnetism and prevent unauthorized reading of data recorded on the recording medium. In other words, for example, a credit card or a cash card is often used as a recording medium that is always carried. Even if a non-contact type reader is brought close to such a financial card, the data recorded inside is illegally used. Can be prevented from being read. In addition, since it can be stored regardless of the position of the magnetic recording layer provided on the recording medium, it is more practical.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
