Abstract
Abstract A data transfer method which is so arranged that, through employment of a portable terminal unit (14), part or all of the data store in a first memory of a first IC card (1) is transferred to a second memory of the first IC card (1). By depressing a total sum push-button of a data transfer terminal device (i.e., settling terminal device) (9), with the first IC card (1) and a second IC card (3) inserted in the data transfer terminal device (9), all the data within the second memory of the first IC card (1) is transferred to a memory of the second IC card (3).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A data transfer method which comprises the steps of transferring at least part of data memorized in a first non-volatile memory means of a first data carrier (1) to a second non-volatile memory means of the first data carrier (1) by a portable terminal unit (14) for receiving said first data carrier (1) which is portable and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, rewritable first and second non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and thereafter, transferring all the data memorized in the second non-volatile memory means of said first data carrier (1) to a non-volatile memory means of a second data carrier (3) by a data transfer terminal device (9) for receiving the second data carrier (3) which is portable and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, a rewritable non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and also, said first data carrier (1
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A data transfer method which comprises the steps of transferring at least part of data memorized in a first non-volatile memory means of a first data carrier (1) to a second non-volatile memory means of the first data carrier (1) by a portable terminal unit (14) for receiving said first data carrier (1) which is portable and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, rewritable first and second non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and thereafter, transferring all the data memorized in the second non-volatile memory means of said first data carrier (1) to a non-volatile memory means of a second data carrier (3) by a data transfer terminal device (9) for receiving the second data carrier (3) which is portable and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, a rewritable non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and also, said first data carrier (1
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
71 words
A data transfer method as claimed in Claim 1, wherein said portable terminal unit (14) includes at least coupling means with the data carriers, and an external input means, thereby to transfer predetermined data from the first non-volatile memory means of the data carrier to the second non-volatile memory means thereof according to a recitation number and instruction inputted from the external input means by a bearer of said data carrier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
113 words
A data transfer method which comprises the steps of transferring at least part of data memorized in a first non-volatile memory means of a data carrier to a second non-volatile memory means of the data carrier by a portable terminal unit (14) for receiving said data carrier which is portable and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, rewritable first and second non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and thereafter, transferring all the data memorized in the second non-volatile memory means of said data carrier to a non-volatile memory means of a data transfer terminal device (9) by the data transfer terminal device (9) for receiving said data carrier.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
113 words
A data transfer method which comprises the steps of transferring at least part of data memorized in a first non-volatile memory means of a data carrier to a second non-volatile memory means of the data carrier by a portable terminal unit (14) for receiving said data carrier which is portable and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, rewritable first and second non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and thereafter, transferring all the data memorized in the second non-volatile memory means of said data carrier to a non-volatile memory means of a data transfer terminal device (9) by the data transfer terminal device (9) for receiving said data carrier.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
149 words
A data transfer method which comprises the steps of transferring at least part of data memorized in a non-volatile memory means of a first data carrier (111) to a non-volatile memory means of a second data carrier (112) by a first portable terminal unit (14) for receiving said first and second data carriers (111, 112) each being portable and including at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, rewritable non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and thereafter, transferring all the data memorized in the non-volatile memory means of said second data carrier (112) to a non-volatile memory means of a third data carrier (121) by a second portable terminal unit (14') for receiving a third data carrier (121) which is portable, and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, a rewritable non-volatile memory means, and calculating means, and also, said second data carrier (112).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
149 words
A data transfer method which comprises the steps of transferring at least part of data memorized in a non-volatile memory means of a first data carrier (111) to a non-volatile memory means of a second data carrier (112) by a first portable terminal unit (14) for receiving said first and second data carriers (111, 112) each being portable and including at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, rewritable non-volatile memory means, and a calculating means, and thereafter, transferring all the data memorized in the non-volatile memory means of said second data carrier (112) to a non-volatile memory means of a third data carrier (121) by a second portable terminal unit (14') for receiving a third data carrier (121) which is portable, and includes at least a coupling means with the terminal unit, a rewritable non-volatile memory means, and calculating means, and also, said second data carrier (112).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
82 words
A data transfer method as claimed in Claim 4, wherein said portable terminal unit includes at least coupling means for both of first data carrier (111) and second data carrier (112), and external input means, thereby to transfer predetermined data from non-volatile memory means of the first data carrier (111) to non-volatile memory means of the second data carrier (112) according to a recitation number and instruction inputted from the external input means by a bearer of said first data carrier (111).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
