Abstract
An information recording and reproducing apparatus comprising a mechanism for accepting a card recording medium having a plurality of recording sections includes at least one recording section including at least an IC chip. A recording/reproducing circuit performs at least one of a recording mode for recording information into the IC chip and a reproducing mode for reproducing the information from the IC chip, a transporting mechanism for transporting the recording medium to a first position in which the IC chip faces the recording/reproducing circuit, and a moving mechanism for, in order to bring the IC chip into contact or close to the recording/reproducing circuit, moving the recording medium transported to the first position by the transporting mechanism toward the recording/reproducing circuit to a second position in which the recording/reproducing circuit can perform at least one of the recording mode and the reproducing mode.
