ABSTRACT:
An IC card system in which either an on-line transaction or an off-line transaction can be made by using an IC card. The IC card contains a memory for storing the data about every transaction made by using the IC card. Whenever an on-line transaction is made, the data about every off-line transaction previously made is read from the memory and then transferred to a host computer. Further, whenever the number of continuously performed off-line transactions becomes greater than a predetermined value, no further off-line transactions will be prohibited.
