Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to exactly detect a printed line and to improve reliability even when there are stains on a date column and the printing on a rear page transmits by providing a moving mechanism moving an optical detection mechanism part in the direction perpendicular to the carrier direction of a bankbook. CONSTITUTION:When the printed line printed in a bankbook 14 is detected, an optical detection mechanism part 1 is set to the location of the data column of a normal bankbook 14, and when the bankbook 14 is carried by the driving rollers 8a to 8d of a bankbook carrier mechanism part, the detection of the printed line is performed by scanning the date column. When there are stains on the date column and the printing on a rear page transmits, a carrier 3 on which the optical detection mechanism part 1 is mounted is driven by a driving motor 6 via a carrier belt 7, the carrier is moved in the direction perpendicular to the carrier direction of the bankbook making a carrier guide 4 as a guide and it is stopped at the location of the balance column of the bankbook 14. Thus, the erroneous detections due to stains and the transmission of the printing on the rear page, etc., can be prevented and the right collation with magnetic stripe data becomes possible.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passbook handling device,
In particular, it relates to means for detecting printed lines on a passbook.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional passbook handling device, an optical detection mechanism for detecting a printed line (printed line) on the passbook is fixed at a predetermined position of the passbook handling device. Printed lines are detected by running the.

[0003]

As described above, since the printed line detecting means in the conventional passbook handling apparatus detects the printed line only in a specific area on the passbook, it is free from stains and back lines. However, it has a drawback that erroneous detection may be performed due to the transmission of the print of the page.

[0004]

A passbook handling device of the present invention is a passbook transport mechanism for transporting a passbook, and reflected light emitted from an LED and reflected on the surface of the passbook is processed by an image sensor and printed. A passbook handling apparatus including an optical detection mechanism section for detecting a line is provided with a moving mechanism section for moving the optical detection mechanism section in a direction perpendicular to a conveyance direction of the passbook.

That is, the passbook handling apparatus of the present invention detects a print line by processing the passbook transport mechanism section for transporting the passbook and the reflected light emitted from the LED and reflected on the surface of the passbook by the image sensor. In a passbook handling device including an optical detection mechanism unit that performs, a carrier that mounts the optical detection mechanism unit, and a carrier guide that guides the carrier in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the passbook,
A moving mechanism section having a drive motor for driving the movement of the carrier via a carrier belt is provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a main portion of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view showing an optical detection mechanism portion of the embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a passbook handled in the embodiment of FIG. It is a top view showing an example.

In FIG. 1, when the line printed on the passbook 14 (printed line) is detected, the drive rollers 8a ...
8d conveys in the direction from the left to the right (arrow A) in the figure. In a normal state, the optical detection mechanism unit 1 is set at the position of the date column 15 of the passbook 14 shown in FIG. 3, and the passbook 14 is conveyed by the drive rollers 8a to 8d of the passbook conveyance mechanism unit. When this is done, this date column 15
Is scanned to detect the printed lines.

As shown in FIG. 2, the optical detection mechanism 1 uses the self-fox lens array 10 to reflect the reflected light emitted from the light emitting diode arrays (LED arrays) 11a and 11b and reflected on the surface of the passbook 14. The image sensor 12 processes the image data through the image sensor 12, and when the number of black points of the data processed by the image sensor 12 is equal to or larger than a specified value, it is determined that the image data is already printed, thereby detecting the printed line.

The number of printed lines detected by the optical detection mechanism 1 is compared with the number of printed lines in the data written in the magnetic stripe (not shown) provided in the passbook 14. However, when the two match, the next operation is performed.

When this printed line is detected, the date column 15
When the line is dirty or the print on the back page is transparent, it is erroneously detected that the unprinted line has already been printed, and as a result, it is detected by the optical detection mechanism section 1. The number of printed lines does not match the number of printed lines in the magnetic stripe data, and the next operation cannot be performed.

In the present embodiment, at this time, the carrier 3 having the optical detection mechanism 1 mounted thereon is driven by the drive motor 6 via the carrier belt 7, and the carrier guide 4 is used as a guide for the passbook. The balance column 18 of the passbook 14 (see FIG. 3) is moved in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction.
Stop at the position.

At this position, it is conveyed again in the direction of arrow A, and the optical detection mechanism section 1 scans the balance column 18 to detect the printed line. When the number of printed lines detected at this time matches the number of printed lines in the data of the magnetic stripe of the passbook 14, the operation proceeds to the next operation.

Depending on the specifications of the passbook 14, the balance column 18 may not be printed on all lines.
In such a case, pay the optical detection mechanism section 1
6 and the deposit amount column 17 are scanned, and the respective columns are scanned to comprehensively detect the printed lines.

[0015]

As described above, the passbook handling apparatus of the present invention is capable of moving the optical detection mechanism section for detecting printed lines in a direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the passbook. , When the number of printed lines detected by the optical detection mechanism section from the date column does not match the number of printed lines in the data of the magnetic stripe of the passbook, the printed line is detected by the other columns of the passbook. By doing so, there is an effect that it is possible to correctly detect the printed line even when the date field is dirty or the printing on the back page is transparent. There is an effect that a highly efficient passbook handling device can be obtained.
