A data communicating device which exchanges data with an IC memory card, has a mechanism for ejecting the IC memory card into and out of the data communicating device. The data communicating device also has a controller for controlling an operation of the ejecting mechanism, and a detector for detecting whether data is being exchanged between the IC memory card and the data communicating device. The control inhibits the ejecting mechanism form ejecting the IC memory card while data is being exchanged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide an improved data communicating device in which the corruption of data is prevented when the IC memory card is ejected.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a data communicating device which exchanges data with an IC memory card, in which the device includes: a mechanism for ejecting the IC memory card out of the data communicating device; a detector for detecting whether data is being exchanged between the IC memory card and the data communicating device; and a controller for inhibiting the mechanism from ejecting the IC memory card if detector detects that the data is being exchanged.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for loading an IC memory card into and ejecting the IC memory card out of a data communicating device; the method includes the steps of: monitoring data transfer between the IC memory card and the data communicating device; and inhibiting the IC card from being ejected out of the data communicating device if data is being transferred.
