Abstract

A data migration system includes a migration source device and a migration target device that are capable of reading and writing data from and to an IC card. The migration source device includes a first storage section and a data write section. The first storage section stores user information. Upon detection of a waving of an IC card of a user, the data write section authenticates the user of the IC card and stores a user information piece about the authenticated user stored in the first storage section to the IC card. The migration target device includes a second storage section and a data receiving section. Upon detection of a waving of the IC card of the user, the data receiving section authenticates the user of the IC card and stores the user information piece stored in the IC card to the second storage section.

Claims

1. A data migration system comprising a migration source device and a migration target device that are capable of reading and writing data from and to an IC card,

wherein the migration source device includes:

a first storage section configured to store user information; and

a data write section configured to authenticate a user of an IC card upon detection of a waving of the IC card by the user and store to the IC card a user information piece about the authenticated user stored in the first storage section, and

the migration target device includes;

a second storage section; and

a data receiving section configured to authenticate the user of the IC card upon detection of a waving of the IC card of the user and stores the user information piece stored in the IC card to the second storage section.

2. A data migration system according to claim 1, wherein

upon detection of a waving of an IC card of an administrator, the data write section authenticates the administrator of the IC card, stores common setting information in the migration source device to the IC card, and awaits then a waving of the IC card of the user, and

upon detection of a waving of the IC card of the administrator, the data receiving section authenticates the administrator of the IC card, replaces common setting information in the migration target device by the common setting information stored in the IC card of the administrator, and then awaits a waving of the IC card of the user.

3. A data migration system according to claim 2, wherein

the migration source device further includes a finalizing section configured to store, if a user information piece remains in the migration source device when a waving of the IC card of the administrator is detected in termination of data migration, the user information piece remaining in the migration source device to the IC card of the administrator, and

the data receiving section stores, if a user information piece remains in the IC card of the administrator when a waving of the IC card of the administrator is detected in termination of data migration, the user information piece remaining in the IC card of the administrator to the second storage section.

4. A data migration system according to claim 3, wherein

when the finalizing section stores the user information piece remaining in the migration source device to the IC card of the administrator, the common setting information in the migration source device and the user information stored in the first storage section are deleted from the first storage section.

5. A data migration system according to claim 1, wherein

the migration source device further includes a touch panel, and

when the user is not authenticated, the data write section causes the touch panel to display a screen indicating that the user is not authenticated.

6. A data migration system according to claim 1, wherein

in response to the user information piece stored in the first storage section being stored to the IC card, the data write section deletes the user information piece from the first storage section.

7. A data migration method for a data migration system including a migration target device and a migration source device that are capable of reading and writing data from and to an IC card,

the migration source device including a first storage section, while the migration target device including a second storage section,

the data migration method comprising:

causing the migration source device to authenticate a user of an IC card upon detection of a waving of the IC card of the user, and to store a user information piece about the authenticated user stored in the first storage section to the IC card; and

causing the migration target device to authenticate the user of the IC card upon detection of a waving of the IC card of the user, and to store the user information piece stored in the IC card to the second storage section.
