Further, the balance information is stored for sequential management as data every time the user makes a transaction.
[0018]
2 and 3 are diagrams showing the configuration of the passbook certificate issuing device. FIG. 2 shows the overall configuration of the device, and FIG. 3 shows the control block.
[0019]
In FIG. 2, a plurality of types of passbooks and certificate media 10 are respectively stored in a passbook certificate storage unit 13. The storage unit 13 has a three-stage structure and includes a plurality of hoppers 21 and 22, respectively. The upper hopper 21 includes three hoppers 211, 212, and 213, and stores different types of certificates 102, respectively. As the certificate, for example, a periodic certificate, a currency exchange certificate and the like are stored. The middle and lower hoppers 22 are each composed of four hoppers 221 to 224 and store different kinds of bankbooks 101 respectively. As passbook, general passbook, fund passbook, pension passbook, etc. are stored. Rollers are arranged at the outlets of these hoppers, and the medium 10 is sent out to the conveyance path 14 in the direction of arrow h.
[0020]
A roller (not shown) is disposed in the conveyance path 14, and the medium 10 is conveyed toward the issue port 12 by the roller in the direction of arrow g. A magnetic stripe read / write unit 12 is disposed on the transport path in front of the issue port 15, and records and reads information on a magnetic stripe such as a passbook. A roller is disposed in the issue port 15 and holds the issued medium 10 with the medium 10 being held until the bank clerk removes the issued medium 10. In addition, a sensor (not shown) is disposed at the issuing port 15 to optically detect that the medium 10 has been removed and notify the control unit 18.
[0021]
A display input unit 11 such as a touch panel is provided on the upper surface of the issue port 15 to display the status of the issue device 4 and to input various instructions. For example, an instruction is inputted by a bank clerk, the medium 10 is selected, and a conveyance control instruction is given.
[0022]
In the control block diagram of FIG. 3, a display input unit 11, an issue port mechanism 15 ′, a storage mechanism 13 ′, a transport mechanism 14 ′, and a magnetic stripe read / write unit 12 are connected to the control unit 18. The issue port mechanism 15 ′, the storage mechanism 13 ′, and the transport mechanism 14 ′ indicate drive systems such as rollers disposed in the issue port 15, the storage unit 13, and the transport path 14, and are driven by control from the control unit 18. Then, the medium 10 is conveyed. The control unit 18 controls each unit. In particular, a signal is sent to the drive system of the rollers of the hoppers 21 and 22 designated from the storage mechanism 13 ', and the rollers are driven to feed out the medium.
[0023]
The control unit 18 is connected to a power supply unit 16 that supplies power to each unit of the apparatus and an interface unit 16, and transmits and receives information to and from the controller 3 through the interface unit 16.
[0024]
The control unit 18 has a memory (not shown), and corresponds to an address that specifies the plurality of hoppers 21 and 22 in the storage unit 13, and identification information that specifies the type of passbook or certificate stored therein Is stored as a table. Therefore, the hopper is specified from the identification information / hopper address pair stored in the memory using the identification information of the medium included in the information transmitted from the controller 3 as a key, and the storage having the roller at the outlet of the hopper The mechanism 13 ′ is driven to feed the designated medium to the transport path 14.
[0025]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the print processing device 5.
The print processing device 5 performs print processing or the like on the medium 10 fed from the passbook certificate issuing device 4. The medium 10 is set in the insertion / ejection unit 41, and the medium 10 on which the printing process has been performed is ejected here. A conveyance path 42 is connected to the insertion / ejection unit 41 to convey the medium 10 to the inside and to convey it in the discharge direction.
[0026]
On the conveyance path 42, a printing unit 43 that performs printing processing on the medium 10, a magnetic stripe reading / writing unit 12 that reads and writes magnetic stripe information, a page changing unit 44 that turns the cover of the passbook 101 and a middle sheet, In addition, an image reading unit 45 that reads a barcode printed on the medium 10 or printed information is disposed.
Moreover, the control part 40 for controlling each of these units is provided. Although not shown, a display input unit for displaying the status of the print processing device 5 and inputting various finger instructions may be provided.
[0027]
In the system having the passbook certificate issuing device 4 and the print processing device 5 configured as described above, the controller 3 issues a passbook for issuing the passbook and certificate medium to the control unit 18 of the passbook certificate issuing device 4. . When a response indicating that the medium has been normally fed out and the processing has been completed is received from the passbook certificate issuing device 4, a command to perform the printing process is issued to the control unit 40 of the printing processing device 5. The controller 3 can also manage the operation status of the subordinate passbook issuing device 4 and the print processing device 5. The status of issuing and printing is displayed on the display input unit of each device. The clerk can check the displayed content and confirm the content of the next work to be done. When a failure occurs, information transmitted from the device in which the failure has occurred can be displayed on the display input unit.
What is characteristic of the above-described configuration is that the printing device is not arranged on the passbook storage unit as in the conventional passbook issuing device (for example, Patent Document 1). The issuing device 4 can be made compact as a whole and can be easily accommodated, for example, under a desk. If a caster is provided on the bottom surface of the device 4, it can be moved to various places. Since the upper surface is flat, it can also be used as a platform for objects.
[0028]
Further, as in the prior art, due to the necessity of providing a stacker in the printing apparatus, the passbook transport path must be placed behind the apparatus. However, according to this embodiment, since the printing apparatus is configured as another apparatus, it is not necessary to provide a stacker in the printing apparatus. For this reason, it is not necessary to guide the conveyance path 14 from the back of the apparatus to the issuing port 15. Rather, the length of the conveyance path 14 can be shortened as a whole by positively guiding it to the entire surface of the apparatus. Thereby, the conveyance time of the medium is shortened, and the issuing time can be shortened.
[0029]
Next, medium issue and print processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0030]
First, an instruction to issue a new bankbook 27 is sent from the host 1 to the controller 3 via the server 2 (S501). Issuance of a new bankbook is instructed by the host 1 when the printing of the bankbook used in the past is full in the print processing device 5 and there is still data to be printed. It is to be noted that an instruction to issue a new passbook is also given by an instruction input from the bankbook certificate issuing device 4 by the bank clerk.
An instruction for issuing a medium such as a passbook and information necessary for issuance are transmitted from the host 1 to the controller 3.
[0031]
FIG. 6 shows a format of data transmitted from the host 1 to the controller 3.
[0032]
When the medium to be issued is a normal and regular two-subject bankbook, the transmission data includes magnetic stripe information 61, type information 62, cover print data 63, reverse print data 64, normal print data 65, and regular print data 66. included.
[0033]
The magnetic stripe information 61 is information recorded in the magnetic stripe of the passbook, and includes information for identifying the individual user and information for identifying the transaction account. The type information 62 is information for identifying the medium to be issued. Since different codes are assigned to passbooks and certificates to identify them, the medium to be issued is specified by this identification information. The cover print data 63 and the facing print data 64 are information printed on the cover of the passbook and the facing pages. When the passbook to be issued is a two-course passbook, normal print data 65 and regular print data 66, which are print contents, are included.
[0034]
The data in these formats may be configured to include all the data for unrecorded books, but may be configured in units of pages to be printed.
In addition, when the issued medium is, for example, a periodic certificate, it is understood that the above-described identification information 62 is different and does not include data such as the cover print data 63, the reverse print data 64, and the normal print data 65. .
[0035]
Returning to FIG. 5 again, when the controller 3 receives a passbook issuance instruction and data in the format of FIG. 6 from the host 1, the controller 3 sends the new passbook received from the host 1 to the print processing device 5. Data necessary for issuance and a passbook issuance instruction are sent (S502).
[0036]
At this time, a method for the passbook certificate issuing apparatus 4 to obtain information from the host 1 is as follows. Data for issuing a passbook sent from the controller 3 to the print processing device 5 is acquired via the interface unit 17 of the passbook certificate issuing device 4, and the control unit 18 uses the data in a necessary format, that is, a medium. The type information 62 is decoded. Based on the decryption result, the control unit 18 refers to a table held by itself to know the address of the hopper 22 in which the passbook specified by the identification information is stored. Then, the storage mechanism 13 'and the transport path mechanism 14' of the hopper 22 are driven corresponding to the address. As a result, the designated bankbook 101 is fed out from the hopper 22 and is conveyed on the conveyance path 14 in the direction of the arrow g (S503).
[0037]
According to this method, the controller 3 can transmit information from the host 1 to the print processing device without being aware of the connection of the passbook certificate issuing device 4. Moreover, the passbook certificate issuing device 4 obtains necessary information from the data transmitted from the controller 3 to the print processing device 5 and controls it to issue a medium by decoding it. The present embodiment can be applied relatively easily without modification.
[0038]
Now, when the new passbook fed out from the hopper 22 and transported through the transport path 14 passes through the magnetic stripe read / write unit 12, the passbook stripe is sent to the stripe of the passbook and the detailed information about the issued passbook is issued. Information, that is, the account number, user name, and transaction details are written. Then, the passbook is conveyed to the issuing port 15 (S504). The bankbook is held at the issuing port 15 in a state of being sandwiched between rollers, and waits for removal of a bank clerk.
[0039]
Then, the passbook held in the issuing port 15 of the passbook certificate issuing device 4 is extracted by a bank clerk and set in the insertion / ejection unit 41 of the print processing device 5 (S505). Thereafter, the process proceeds to print processing in the print processing device 5. When it is detected that the passbook has been extracted from the issue port 15 of the passbook certificate issuing apparatus 4, the passbook management of the passbook certificate issuing apparatus 4 is updated to the latest state.
[0040]
The bankbook 10 set in the insertion / ejection unit 41 of the print processing device 5 is sucked and conveyed through the conveyance path 42 and passes through the magnetic stripe read / write unit 12. At this time, information recorded in the magnetic stripe of the passbook is read and sent to the control unit 40. Then, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the passbook to be issued is correct (S506).
[0041]
That is, in the control unit 40, the information shown in FIG. 6 is sent from the controller 3 as described above, and the type information of the medium to be issued is held in the memory. Whether the issued passbook is correct or not can be determined by comparing and collating the type information held in the memory with the information read from the magnetic stripe.
[0042]
If the result of this determination is that the passbook is not correct, the taken passbook is conveyed to the insertion / ejection unit 41 and discharged (S507). In this case, on the display input unit of the print processing device 5 or the controller 3, a guidance display indicating that the bankbook is set incorrectly and that a correct bankbook is set is displayed (S508). In response to this display, the bank clerk searches for the correct bankbook and sets it again in the insertion / discharge section 41.
[0043]
The information of the magnetic stripe is read in the same way for the next bankbook, and whether it is correct or not is determined in the same manner (S511). There are often several types of bankbooks across multiple customers on the bank clerk's desk, and passbook set errors can occur.
[0044]
In this way, if the correct bankbook is set within the specified time and is not determined, the timer is over and the time is over (S512). In this case, an error display due to time over is displayed on the display input unit of the print processing apparatus (S513). Then, the abnormal process ends (S514).
[0045]
On the other hand, if it is determined that the correct bankbook is set within the specified time, the bankbook is conveyed to the printing unit 43 and print data is printed (S509). The print data is data corresponding to the cover print data 63 to the regular print data 66 shown in FIG. 6, transmitted from the controller 3, and stored in the memory of the control unit 40.
[0046]
In addition, when it is necessary to change the page during printing on the passbook page, the passbook is sent to the page changing unit 44 on the conveyance path 42, where the cover page or inner page is turned. Further, after a page break, whether or not the page is correct is determined by optically reading the barcode printed on the edge of each page by the image reading unit 11 and determining the result by the control unit 40.
When printing is completed, the passbook is conveyed to the magnetic stripe reader / writer 12 where transaction information, updated balance information, and the like are written in the magnetic stripe (S509).
[0047]
Thereafter, the bankbook is transported on the transport path 42 to the insertion / ejection unit 41 and discharged (S510). Then, it is reported from the control unit 40 of the print processing device 5 that the designated passbook issuance and print processing has been completed (S515). The completion report is transmitted to the host 1 via the server 2. As a result, the host 1 recognizes that a series of processing relating to the issuance of the designated passbook has been completed.
[0048]
If the issued medium 10 does not have a magnetic stripe, writing and reading to the medium 10 are not performed. It is understood that the determinations in steps S505 to S511 are not performed.
[0049]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a passbook issuing process according to another embodiment.
This example is based on the premise that there are a plurality of controllers 31, 32, and respective passbook certificate issuing devices 51, 52 and print processing devices 41, 42 connected to the controllers 31, 32. A so-called proxy printing process method is described in which the passbook printing process is performed by the other printing processing apparatus by making good use of the above.
[0050]
That is, in the above-described embodiment, the bank clerk sets the drawn out passbook in the print processing device 41 on the controller 31 side, but the print processing device 41 is out of order or under maintenance, or other crew members For example, it is more convenient to perform print processing using the print processing device 42 connected to the other controller 32.
[0051]
In FIG. 7, the server 2 issues a passbook issuance request to the initial controller 31 (S1), and feeds the designated passbook using the passbook certificate issuing device 41 on the controller 31 side (S2). The bank clerk sets the passbook in the print processing apparatus 2 (S3). At this time, the result of the determination in the print processing device 42 (S506) is a bankbook set error, and this is displayed (S4). Further, a surrogate processing request for issuing a passbook is sent from the controller 32 to the server 2 (S5). This proxy processing request can be made by inputting an instruction from the print processing device 52.
[0052]
In response to this request, the server 2 checks whether a passbook issuance request has been issued to another print processing device 51. If it is confirmed that the request has been issued, the print processing apparatus 51 is instructed to cancel the request (S6). Then, a substitute request is permitted to the controller 32 (S 7), and the information shown in FIG. 6 held in the memory in the server 2 is sent to the print processing device 52. The print processing device 52 performs print processing on the set passbook (S8). The details of the printing process and the like are the same as the operation with reference to FIG.
[0053]
As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned Example, It can implement in various deformation | transformation.
[0054]
According to the above embodiment, the passbook certificate issuing device 4 obtains necessary information from the data transmitted from the controller 3 to the print processing device 5, and uses a method of issuing a medium by decoding it. As another method, for example, a part of the software of the controller 3 is changed, control is performed so as to be aware of the connection between both the print processing device 5 and the passbook certificate issuing device 4, and an instruction to issue a medium from the host 1 and necessary Information may be sent to both devices. The passbook certificate issuing device 4 feeds the designated passbook based on the received information. According to this method, although there is a slight change in the system, it is possible to obtain the issuance management and various guidance in the passbook certificate issuing apparatus 4 from the information from the controller 3 for the operator who operates the apparatus. It is possible to build a high security system with
[0055]
In the passbook certificate issuing device 4 described above, information necessary for the magnetic stripe of the passbook is recorded by the magnetic stripe reading / writing unit 12 when the medium 10 is issued. As another example, the magnetic stripe reading / writing unit 12 The medium may be issued without recording the information, while the necessary information may be recorded on the magnetic stripe by the magnetic stripe reading / writing unit 12 of the print processing device 5. Even in this way, it is possible to manage the issuance of new media.
[0056]
As yet another modification, steps S512 to S514 shown in FIG. 5 can be omitted, and the medium printing process can be performed regardless of the order of the medium issuance requests. A bank clerk may respond to this by printing a batch of a plurality of mediums 10 that have been fed out.
[0057]
For example, the server 2 sequentially stores the data of FIG. 6 received from the host 1 in the memory each time it is received. With respect to the passbook certificate issuing apparatus 4, the medium 10 relating to S501 to S502 in FIG. However, in this case, it is not expected that the fed medium 10 is set in the print processing device 5 within a specified time.
[0058]
When the banker sets an arbitrary one of the fed out media 10 in the print processing device 5, the controller 3 uses the magnetic stripe information of the medium 10 read by the magnetic stripe read / write unit 12 as a key, and the controller 3 stores the memory of the server 2. The information (FIG. 6) that matches the magnetic stripe information among the print information relating to the plurality of media stored in is transmitted to the print processing device 5 via the controller 3. The print processing device 5 prints the received print data on the set medium. Other processing may be understood to be the same as the processing operation shown in FIG.
[0059]
When the server 2 receives the processing completion report via the controller 3, the server 2 stores a completion flag in the area corresponding to the print data relating to the medium issuance stored in the memory, and transmits the completion report to the host 1. .
[0060]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, a passbook certificate issuing system capable of issuing a passbook and a certificate relatively easily and at a low price without making a significant system change, with layout-free operation, and A passbook certificate issuing device can be obtained.
[0061]
【The invention's effect】
