Patent number: 6510125Abstract: The present invention provides a storage medium having intelligence that has, in one-piece, a storage medium and an electronic circuit, and has communication structure with an external apparatus to reduce loads of a main-frame of a system, and that can further manage and control external system equipment, the apparatus communicating information with the electronic circuit, and a system including them. The electronic circuit mounted on the intelligent disk 2 has a contact type or a non-contact type interface as communication structure. The contact type interface is connected to an external contact electrically and/or mechanically. The non-contact type interface is connected to an external interface via sound, light, radio waves, or induction. The non-contact type, a plurality of balanced microstrip lines are formed on a rotating medium and a fixed body in concentric circles, they are located so that respective balanced microstrip lines face.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1998Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha OPTROMInventors: Takashi Shigetomi, Tetsuo Saito, Tsunematsu Komaki
