(17) FIG. 2A illustrates a drawing depicting a master ID card with a specific ID in the system for identifying ID according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, the master ID card includes a card case 201, a first conducting electrode 202 and eight second conducting electrodes 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209 and 210, wherein the master card is disposed on the card placement position 101 of the card reader in FIG. 1, the position of the first conducting electrode 202 is corresponding to the first transmission unit Tx101 and the positions of each of the second conducting electrodes 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209 and 210 are corresponding to the positions of the first receiving unit R101, the second receiving unit R102, the third receiving unit R103, the fourth receiving unit R104, the fifth receiving unit R105, the sixth receiving unit R106, the seventh receiving unit R107 and the eight receiving unit R108.

(18) In the present embodiment, the first conducting electrode 202 is electrically connected to the second conducting electrodes 205 and 209. Therefore, when the master ID card is disposed on the card placement position 101 of the card reader in FIG. 1, and the first transmission unit Tx101 transmits a wireless signal, the third receiving unit R103 and the seventh receiving unit R107 would respectively receive the wireless signal. As such, the control circuit 102 determines that the raw data of the master ID card is “00100010”. Further, people having ordinary skill in the art should know that the maximum number of the master ID of the master ID card would be C(8, 0)+C(8, 1)+C(8, 2)+C(8, 3)+C(8, 4)+C(8, 5)+C(8, 6)+C(8, 7)+C(8, 8)=1+8+28+56+70+56+28+8+1=256 according to the electrical connection between the first conducting electrode 202 and the second conducting electrodes 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209 and 210.

(19) Moreover, the first conducting electrode 202 and each of the second conducting electrodes 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209 and 210 are disposed at the upper side of the ID card. In addition, the card reader still includes the second transmission unit Tx102, the ninth receiving unit R109, the tenth receiving unit R110, the eleventh receiving unit R111, the twelfth receiving unit R112, the thirteenth receiving unit R113, the fourteenth receiving unit R114, the fifteenth receiving unit R115 and the sixteenth receiving unit R116 which is disposed at the lower side of the card placement position 101. Those units are for identifying a slave ID card.

(20) FIG. 2B illustrates a drawing depicting a slave ID card with a specific ID in the system for identifying ID according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2B, the slave ID card includes a card case 211, a third conducting electrode 212 and eight fourth conducting electrodes 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219 and 220, wherein the position of the third conducting electrode 212 is corresponding to the second transmission unit Tx102 and each of the fourth conducting electrodes 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219 and 220 are corresponding to the positions of the ninth receiving unit R109, the tenth receiving unit R110, the eleventh receiving unit R111, the twelfth receiving unit R112, the thirteenth receiving unit R113, the fourteenth receiving unit R114, the fifteenth receiving unit R115 and the sixteenth receiving unit R116 when the slave ID card is disposed on the card placement position 101 of the card reader.

(21) In the present embodiment, the third conducting electrode 212 is electrically connected to the fourth conducting electrodes 213 and 216. Therefore, when the slave ID card is disposed on the card placement position 101 of the card reader in FIG. 1 and the second transmission unit Tx102 transmits a wireless signal, the ninth receiving unit R109 and the twelfth receiving unit R112 would respectively receive the wireless signal. As such, the control circuit 102 determines that the raw data of the slave ID card is “10010000”. In addition, people having ordinary skill in the art should know that the maximum number of the slave ID of the slave ID card would be C(8, 0)+C(8, 1)+C(8, 2)+C(8, 3)+C(8, 4)+C(8, 5)+C(8, 6)+C(8, 7)+C(8, 8)=1+8+28+56+70+56+28+8+1=256 according to the electrical connection between the third conducting electrode 212 and the fourth conducting electrodes 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219 and 220.

(22) According to the master ID card and the slave ID card of the abovementioned embodiment, many of application for the ID card can be implemented, such as electrical card game. It is assumed that one master ID card represents Thor, the other master ID card represents Loki. Further, it is assumed that one slave ID card represents Mjolnir, the other slave card represents Chitauri Scepter. When the Thor card is disposed on the card placement position 101 of the card reader of a game console (or an arcade game machine), the game console (or the arcade game machine) would identify that the card on the card placement position 101 represents Thor. Moreover, if the Mjolnir card is placed on the Thor card on the card placement position 101, the game console (or the arcade game machine) would identify that the Thor card and the Mjolnir card are paring cards, and the game console (or the arcade game machine) would show “power up”. However, if the Chitauri Scepter card is placed on the Thor card on the card placement position 101, the game console (or the arcade game machine) would identify that the Thor card and the Chitauri Scepter card are not paring cards, and the game console (or the arcade game machine) would not show “power up”. However, if the Chitauri Scepter card is placed on the Loki card on the card placement position 101, the game console (or the arcade game machine) would identify that the Loki card and the Chitauri Scepter card are paring cards, and the game console (or the arcade game machine) would show “power up”.

(23) In the embodiment in FIGS. 2A and 2B, every positions of the second conducting electrodes and the fourth conducting electrodes have conductors. People having ordinary skill in the art should know that the positions of the second conducting electrodes 203, 204, 206, 207, 208, 210 can have no conductor, and the positions of the fourth conducting electrodes 214, 215, 217, 218, 219, 220 also can have no conductor. In other words, if the implementation of the ID card in FIG. 2A or FIG. 2B is changed to a slot type, such as to change the positions of the second conducting electrodes 203˜210 as slots, the positions of the second conducting electrodes 203, 204, 206, 207, 208, 210 can be without disposition of any conductor. Similarly, if the positions of the second conducting electrodes 211˜220 is changed as slots, the positions of the fourth conducting electrodes 214, 215, 217, 218, 219, 220 can be without disposition of any conductor.

(24) In the abovementioned embodiment, the card reader can be used for identifying the master/slave cards. In the following embodiment, a rotatable circular ID card is adopted to describe the present invention.

As such, the control circuit 902 can be not only for identifying the ID of the ID card, but also the control circuit 902 can be for identifying the speed of the ID card, the position of the ID card and the moving direction of the ID card.

(40) In summary, the spirit of the present invention is to use a electrical connection between the first conducting electrode and the second conducting electrode(s) to combine into different connection style. After the card is disposed on the card placement position, the card reader emits the wireless signal from the position of the first conducting electrode and determines the receiving unit(s) which receive(s) the transmission signal to determine the electrode connection between the first conducting electrode and the second conducting electrode(s). As such, the card reader can determine the ID code of the ID card. The sensing device, including the transmission unit and the receiving units, can be implemented by the electric field pulse wave transmitting and receiving devices or the electromagnetic induction devices. Since the electrical connection between the conducting electrodes in the card represents its ID, the cost of ID would be greatly reduced.

(41) While the present invention has been described by way of examples and in terms of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications. Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications.
