FUNCTIONING METHOD OF CARD-READER FOR FIRMWARE, CARD-READER FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF METHOD, AND OPTOELECTRONIC SENSOR FOR CARD-READER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G07D7/12 

FIELD: instrument making.

SUBSTANCE: method consists in recording, reading and reproduction of information from memory cards 2 of different standards and further use of the same information during electronic interaction with the corresponding firmware. Peculiar features consist in the fact that an electronic device of card-reader 1 is equipped with an optoelectronic sensor functionally being a device for memory card 2 authenticity identification by means of detection of at least one protective mark made on it. For that purpose, the section of memory card 2, which has the protective mark, is arranged in sensor field of view. Besides, the above recording, reading and reproduction of information is performed after the above sensor registers positive result of authenticity identification, which is obtained by means of the corresponding processing of data file formed during detection. Card-reader 1 is provided for implementation of the method, the electronic device of which is equipped with an optoelectronic detection sensor, and one of possible versions of certain design of the above sensor is provided.

EFFECT: improving quick action and accuracy of reading.
