Supplementary coding on inductive debit cards and reading process refers to supplementary information regarding variables such as date of issue and country in which the card is valid, which are included without any change in the number of credits on the card by using the front and back handling strips (17, 18). Such an encoding comprises the division of said strips, in a number of segments or tracks (41, 42, ... 49) equal to the number of cell columns on the card, coinciding the center of said tracks with the axes (31, 32, ... 39) of said columns; the metallized tracks correspond to bit "1" and the non- metallized tracks to bit "0", the four tracks located at the corners of the card (41, 49, 41', 49') being always metallized. The reading of the information on the card is carded out during the insertion of the card (30) into the reading head by the row of sensors (64) the farthest away from the entrance slot (69). On detecting the presence of a pair of metallized tracks on the corner of the card, the bits contained in either strip are read and stored in a temporary register for a later interpretation.

Codage supplémentaire sur cartes de débit inductives, et procédé de lecture. Il s'agit d'informations supplémentaires concernant des variables telles que la date d'émission d'une carte et le pays où la carte est valable, ces informations étant enregistrées sur la carte, sans modification du nombre de crédits, par utilisation des pistes auxiliaires avant et arrière (17, 18). Pour ledit codage, on divise ces pistes en un certain nombre de segments ou de bandes (41, 42, ... 49) dont le nombre est égal à celui des colonnes de cellules présentes sur la carte, les centres desdites bandes coïncidant avec les axes (31, 32, ... 39) desdits colonnes. Les bandes métallisées correspondent au bit "1" et les bandes non métallisées correspondent au bit "0", les quatre bandes (41, 49, 41', 49') situées dans les coins de la carte étant toujours métallisées. La lecture des informations présentes sur la carte est effectuée, lors de l'introduction de la carte (30) dans la tête de lecture, par la rangée de capteurs (64) la plus éloignée de la fente d'introduction (69). Lors de la détection de la présence d'une paire de bandes métallisées dans le coin de la carte, les bits compris dans l'une ou l'autre des bandes sont lus et stockés dans un registre temporaire en vue d'une interprétation ultérieure.
