ABSTRACT:
An IC card has additional connection terminals adjacent to existing conventional connection terminals. Corresponding additional terminals are arranged in a terminal unit. When the additional terminals of both the IC card and terminal unit are not used, the additional terminals are put under an input mode or a floating mode. Only when the additional terminals are used, they are switched to an input/output mode, under which data are communicated between the IC card and the terminal unit through the additional terminals.
