Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the automation of a slip processing by a sheet by reading a content described on the sheet of a slip, etc., on a carrying path by an image scanner, converting it to a code at a recognition processing part, and controlling the slip processing of a transfer job, etc., at a control part based on a converted code. CONSTITUTION:When the sheet 13 is set at an inlet opening 12, the sheet 13 is attracted to the carrying path 14, and is moved on the carrying path 14, and described information is read by the image scanner 8, and is printed by a print head 10. Simultaneously, data read by the image scanner 8 is sent to the recognition processing part 9, and a result recognized at this part is outputted to the control part 2 after being converted to the code, and the control part 2 controls each device so as to perform the slip processing described on the sheet 13. In such a way, it is possible to automatically perform the job of transfer, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automated teller machine for processing slips such as transfers using slips in financial institutions.

[Prior Art] Conventional automated teller machines for financial institutions are configured to have a function of processing cash deposits and withdrawals.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, conventional automated teller machines have the function of performing deposit and withdrawal operations, but when performing remittance operations using paper such as slips, Since it is difficult to read the written characters, the process has to be done at a bank counter, which has the disadvantage that it takes a long time.

[Means for solving the problems] The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems,
This makes it possible to read and recognize the contents written on the form of the slip. Specifically, in an automatic teller machine equipped with a conveyance path for conveying passbooks, etc., and a passbook printer disposed on the conveyance path and printing on the passbooks, etc., the automatic teller machine is arranged on the conveyance path and an image scanner that reads the contents of the paper such as a slip when the paper is conveyed to the machine; a recognition processing unit that converts the content that cannot be read by the image scanner into a code; and a code converted by the recognition processing unit. The system is equipped with a control unit that controls slip processing such as transfer operations based on the above.

[Example] Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing an example of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the process of processing a sheet conveyed through a conveyance path according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the automated teller machine according to this embodiment basically includes a communication circuit 1 that communicates with a host computer, a control section 2 that controls the device, and a control section 2 that accepts banknote deposits and processes payments. A banknote withdrawal unit 3 accepts coin deposits and makes payments; a customer operation unit 5 performs customer guidance and key manual processing; Magnetic card imprinter/printer unit 6 that reads or writes magnetic stripe data and performs emboss printing and journal printing on cards.
, a passbook printer 7 that prints on paper 13 such as a passbook or slip, an image scanner 8 built into the passbook printer, and a recognition process 659 that performs recognition processing based on image data sent from the image scanner 8. configured.

Note that the paper 13 may be a slip or the like for processing a normal transfer or the like.

The bankbook printer 7 is arranged on a conveyance path 14 that conveys paper 13 such as a bankbook or a slip (FIG. 2). This passbook printer 7 basically includes a print head 10, a magnetic stripe reader/writer 11, an image scanner 8,
The recognition processing section 9 is also provided. In this embodiment, the image scanner 8 is incorporated into the passbook printer, but it may be provided separately.

The magnetic stripe reader/writer 11 reads and writes the magnetic stripe of a bankbook.

The print head 10 prints on paper 13 and the like.

The image scanner 8 is arranged on the conveyance path 14 and performs OCR on the written contents of the paper 13 conveyed through the conveyance path 14.
It is read by etc.

The recognition processing unit 9 converts the content read by the image scanner 8 into a code, and outputs the code to the control unit 2.

The control unit 2 controls the processing of slips, such as transfer operations, written on the form 13 based on manually entered codes.

For example, in the case of a transfer using a slip process, the transfer destination (for example,
(taxes, water charges, etc.) and the amount to be transferred, and if the entries on form 13 are correct, instructions are given to transfer the money to a predetermined account via communication line 1. Then, a notification (for example, a receipt) is output to the user that the transfer has been completed. In addition, if the entries on Form 13 are incorrect, a notification to that effect and Form 1 will be sent.
Make it output 3.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, when the paper 13 is set in the suction port 12, the paper 13
3 is sucked into the conveyance path 14. Subsequently, the paper 13 moves on the conveyance path 14, and the information written on the paper 13 is read by the image scanner 8. Next, various types of paper 13 are printed by the print head 10. At the same time, the data read by the image scanner 8 is sent to the recognition processing section 9.
The recognized result is converted into a code and output to the control unit 2. As a result, the control unit 2 controls each device to perform the slip processing described on the form 13, so that operations such as transfers can be performed automatically.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, the automatic teller machine according to the present invention has the following effects:
The contents of documents such as slips on the conveyance path are read by an image scanner, the contents read by the image scanner are converted into codes by the recognition processing section, and the control section processes the documents such as bank transfers based on the converted codes. Since the system is configured to be controlled, in addition to conventional deposit and withdrawal operations, paper-based slip processing can be automatically performed, making it possible to improve the efficiency of bank operations.
