Yesterday – AU-201

Yesterday – AU-201 AU-201 A good card reader but…
…it‘s quite expensive …it supports only a small portion of card technologies …it can only read universal IDs (serial IDs), no private IDs …its driver inside the Firmware does not offer any customization possibilities
5
Yesterday – AU-201 What Konica Minolta needs
Support of more card technologies for solution sales HID, Legic Advant, MiFare PIDs, Magnet Stripe, Motorola/Indala, RFID 125KHz, Barcode, iClass… Device FW that can adapt to different card technologies Support depends on what’s implemented in the firmware in Japan… we can’t wait for special FW for each case! Better pricing Competition is tough and OpenAPI applications already might increase the total cost for one device significantly Too expensive card readers can badly affect ROI for accounting software A fast and reliable card evaluation process To know what kind of card a customer is dealing with and what we need to supply A less space-consuming mounting for authentication devices Directly attached to device, theft-protection, no working table Perfect: integrated into the device

Today – Loadable Drivers

Today – Loadable Drivers
A Loadable Driver is a small add-on to MFP firmware Each loadable driver adds additional support for an USB authentication device Loadable drivers need to be written for specific USB devices by specific suppliers Loadable drivers need to be uploaded to the device by CF card – similar to the firmware itself Each driver will provide its own configuration screen for settings/activation in the Admin Mode Once uploaded, loadable drivers can not be deleted, but only overwritten by another loadable driver In the first step, BT and BEU will provide loadable drivers for three different new card readers by three different suppliers Kaba (Legic) Gemalto (MiFare) Omnikey (HID)

Y Soft Cooperation KM‘s one-stop card reader provider
Y Soft is a global acting, aspiring accounting/authentication provider for the MFP market KM is in the nice situation to have a very good relationship with Y Soft and business in many European countries already Y Soft agreed to provide the following services exclusively to KM [1] Card evaluation services [2] Card reader production [3] Development of related loadable drivers [4] Development of customized KM mounting options fitting to their and our devices A. external B. internal [5] Competitive pricing To be supported technologies RFID 125 kHz Motorola/Indala W26, W27, ABA Track II, Lite, KANTECH HID, HID UDF,HID iClass Proxlite (Casi-Rusco, GE Interlogix) MIFARE,MIFARE + RFID 125 kHz Unique, TIRIS 134 kHz COTAG Magnet stripe cards, Barcodes swipe-through/external laser … Available: begin of FY09/10
17
Tomorrow What Konica Minolta will get will get
Support of more card technologies for solution sales New authentication devices will already help in many customer cases Y Soft will be ready for future technology adaptations Device FW that can adapt to different card technologies Loadable driver architecture allows direct customization in Europe – no interaction with BT required Better pricing New authentication devices are priced much more competitive USB host boards not needed anymore for Donau/LaPlataM, GangesM A fast and reliable card evaluation process Y Soft will provide this to BEU A less space-consuming mounting for authentication devices Y Soft will produce and provide customized mounting options Quick adaptation into the device will be possible, as soon as MFPs provide this space will get will get
