【No. 0558】Tosho Cards (Book Cards)
Jun 28, 2016 10:31
There are magnetic prepaid cards for books in Japan, that are called "tosho cards."
Tosho cards have been familiar as gifts of anniversary or supplementary prizes in small contests for more than 25 years.
However, "tosho card NEXT" was launched from this month.
In the tosho card NEXT, since the usage history and the balances are managed on a server, you can check the information by using smartphone or computers.
On the other hand, in previous tosho cards, you can check only rough balances by looking punched holes on the card.
Personally, I prefer previous cards because when you want to check the balances of new cards, you have to connect the Internet and input an ID number and a PIN number.

図書カードNEXT
日本には図書カードと呼ばれる、本を購入するための磁気式のプリペイドカードが存在します。
図書カードは記念日の贈り物や、小さいイベントの副賞として25年以上親しまれてきました。
しかし今月からは、図書カードNEXTが登場しました。
図書カードNEXTは、カードの利用履歴や残高をサーバで管理し、スマートフォンから確認できます。
一方、これまでの図書カードはカード自体にパンチ穴を空けて、大まかな残高が確認できる仕組みでした。
図書カードNEXTでは残高確認において、インターネットに接続し、ID番号とPIN番号を入力しないといけないので、個人的には以前の図書カードのほうが好きです。
