Claims
- 1. An IC card comprising:
an input/output interface for exchanging data through connection with a terminal; a memory for accumulating a plurality of application programs and data; and a processor for executing the application programs, the memory accumulating, as one of the application programs, a game application having the following routines of: storing a game pattern to the memory; displaying a game corresponding to the game pattern on a display of the terminal connected via the input/output interface; and receiving the user input data through the terminal via the input/output interface and then judging the result of the game by referring to the user input with the game pattern stored in the card.
- 2. The IC card according to claim 1, wherein the game application has a routine to disable the use of the game pattern corresponding after a user has played the game.
- 3. The IC card according to claim 1, wherein the game pattern can be input from the terminal connected to the input/output interface.
- 4. The IC card according to claim 1, wherein the data input concerned about the game from the outside via the input/output interface is ciphered and the input data is deciphered.
- 5. The IC card according to claim 1, wherein the game application has a routine to generate the game pattern depending on the data having defined the number of playing times of the game input through the input/output interface.
- 6. The IC card according to claim 5, wherein generation of the game pattern is conducted on the basis of random numbers generated in the IC card.
- 7. The IC card according to claim 5, wherein game parameter data defining winning probabilities of the game or a game point are stored in the memory and the game pattern is generated based on the game parameter data.
- 8. The IC card according to claim 1, wherein the pattern data comprises data forming a set with a question which requires an answer to a user and the answer to the question.
- 9. The IC card according to claim 3, wherein the application programs has a routine to hold, in the memory, log data regarding the game played by the IC card and storing of the game pattern is controlled by referring to the log data in a routine to store the game pattern in the memory.
- 10. The IC card according to claim 5, wherein the game application has a routine to bold the log data regarding the game played in the IC card to the memory and generation of the game pattern is controlled by referring to the log data in the routine to generate the game pattern.
- 11. The IC card according to claim 1, wherein the pattern data is ciphered and is then backed up the outside of the IC card through the input/output interface, the backup pattern data is received by designation of a user, after it is ciphered, this data is then stored again to a pattern data store unit.
- 12. The IC card according to claim 1, wherein the routine to display the game corresponding to the game pattern on the display of a terminal connected via the input/output interface includes a routine that a part or entire part of the pattern data is selectively extracted and is then displayed on the terminal in the routine to display the game corresponding to the game pattern on the display of terminal connected via the input/output interface.
- 13. The IC card according to claim 12, wherein a parameter to designate which part of the game pattern should be responded as the display data is received from the terminal and a part of the pattern data is selectively extracted depending on the parameter and is then displayed on the display of the terminal.
