Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect the setting of the incorrect page of a bankbook to an automatic machine immediately by recording unprinted leading page information magnetically in the magnetic recording part of the bankbook. CONSTITUTION:The unprinted leading page information is recorded on a magnetic stripe formed on the back surface of the bankbook by a magnetic means in addition to the account number and the newest balance information of a customer. A page bar detecting part 24 in the automatic machine 20 is a bar code reader and detects the page bar indicating the page of the set bankbook by a light emitter 23 and a photosensor 11. A page information reading-out part 25 reads out the unprinted leading page information of the bankbook which is stored in the magnetic stripe through a magnetic head 14. A page number comparing part 27 compares the current number of pages detected by the page bar detecting part 24 on the basis of an optical means with the unprinted leading page information detected by th page information reading-out part on the basis of a magnetic means and checks whether both values coincide with each other or not.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (4) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a page check processing method in an automatic passbook machine, particularly when a customer enters a passbook at an automatic teller/dispensing machine (ATM), etc. in an online φ banking system. This invention relates to a page check processing method in an automatic bankbook machine that automatically detects when a wrong page is set and prevents erroneous bankbook printing such as one duplicate printing or skipped page printing.

(3) Prior art and problems Recently, automatic teller/dispensing machines (ATMs), which allow deposits, withdrawals, and passbook entry, are being developed to save labor and provide simple and quick banking services. So-called automatic machines such as digital cameras (CD) are increasingly being used.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are diagrams illustrating problems in the conventional method.

Traditionally, when a customer sets a passbook into an automatic machine for deposits, cash withdrawals, or later diary entries, in most cases there is no checking as to whether the loaded page is correct or not, depending on the convenience of the mechanical mechanism and the center's software. Met. In other words, the customer was held responsible for the incorrect printing on the incorrectly set passbook.

For example, the following two methods are used to check whether the set page is correct. The second method uses an optical sensor in an automatic machine to determine whether or not the inserted page has been printed by scanning the print line area. The second method is to store the correct negative number in the center ledger and check it by comparing it with the inserted page.

However, according to the method 2--above], there is a drawback that when a completely new page is inserted, it cannot be determined whether it is the correct page or not. For example, a 9-passbook has 24 lines per page, and as shown in FIG. 1(a), the last transaction was just printed on the last line of the third page and ended. For the next transaction, you must print from the first line of the fourth page.

Figure (b) As shown in the diagram, if the customer turns over an extra page and sets page 5 by mistake, printing will start from the first line of page 5 because it will not be a T-ler. . Additionally, as a recent trend, automatic machines using dot printers have become mainstream, as they can generate any kanji code. However, with dot printers, the print is a collection of fine dots.

Unlike printing with a type hammer, there is a problem in that '#' cannot be completely understood, and it may not be possible to judge correctly whether or not it has been printed. Another problem is that if the sensor is dirty, it may misrecognize the sensor.

On the other hand, in the case of the second method above, insert two bankbooks into the automatic machine (-
There is a problem in that it is not possible to perform an early check immediately after That is, 2, for example, as shown in FIG.

In the case of center check, if you are making a deposit, insert your passbook or card and put in two banknotes, if you are making a withdrawal, insert your card and enter your PIN number, and if you have two passbooks, put two passbooks after Zenjin. Enter the amount.

After pressing the send button, 8 pages of information will be sent to the center.
An error will be detected. and.

When making a deposit, the banknotes and passbook are returned; when making a withdrawal, the passbook and card are returned. Therefore.

It is difficult to deal with page errors immediately, and the timing of checking is delayed, resulting in insufficient customer service.

0 Purpose and Structure of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to make it possible to reliably detect incorrect page setting of a passbook to an automatic machine, and to make it possible to immediately detect it on the terminal side. It is said that Therefore, the page check processing method in the automatic passbook machine of the present invention is as follows.

A page for magnetically recording and storing unprinted first page information in the magnetic storage section of one passbook in an automated passbook system that handles passbooks having a magnetic storage section and prints and outputs transaction data on the passbook. Information recording means 1 Page information reading means for reading the first page information stored in the magnetic storage section when the bankbook is inhaled.

A page number detection means for optically reading the page information printed in advance on page 6 of the passbook, and a page check for reading out the page information by the page information reading means and comparing and collating the page information with the page information detected by the page number detection means. The present invention is characterized in that it includes at least a means for checking the printed pages of the set passbook. This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

0 Embodiment of the invention FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a passbook related to the present invention, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the internal mechanism of an automatic machine, and FIG. 5 is a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 shows a processing explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

The passbook used in the present invention is as shown in Figure 1, for example, in Figure 3. In the figure, 1 (σ) represents a passbook, 2 represents a page bar area, 3 represents a magnetic stripe, and 4 represents a bar code.

An A bar area 2 is provided on the left side of each page of the passbook 1, and a predetermined bar code 4 is printed in advance. In this example, PL is the barcode of page 1.

P2 represents the barcode of the second page, P6 represents the barcode of the sixth page, and so on. Therefore, by reading this barcode 4, it is possible to know which page of the bankbook is set.

Also, on the back cover of 1 bankbook 1 is 2, for example, as shown in the illustration.

A magnetic stripe 3 is provided. In the case of the present invention.

In addition to the customer's account number, latest balance information, etc., information on the first page of the unprinted pages of the two bankbooks 1 is recorded on the magnetic stripe 3 by magnetic means.

Of course, the last printed page information may also be used.

The internal mechanism of the automatic machine is roughly as shown in FIG. In Fig. 4, l is a passbook, 10 is a passbook suction hole,
] l represents a photo sensor, 12 an inserter, 13 a printer, and 14 a magnetic head.

Inserter]-2 is a two-bankbook suction mechanism that guides the bankbook 1 inserted into the two-bankbook suction hole 10 into the inside of the automatic machine. The photo sensor 11 is normally 1 depending on the strength of the reflected light from the eye 1.
It detects the page bar and reads the current page of the two bankbooks.

The printer 13 is an 8-passbook printing mechanism that prints out bookkeeping data on the passbook 1. Magnetic head] 4 is
It is used to input and output information from the magnetic stripe 3 shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the structure of a part directly related to the present invention in an automatic passbook machine. In the figure, 11 and 14 are the fourth
Corresponding to the figure, 20 is an automatic machine, 21 is a control device, 22 is an online line, 23 is a light emitter, 24 is a page bar detection unit, 2
5 is a page information reading section.

26 is a page information update section, 27 is a negative number comparison section, 2 is a page print line count section, and 29 is a page information update control section.

The automatic machine 20 is 1, for example, a Φ Yash dispenser (CD
), automatic teller machine (ATM), etc., and 2M@
It is a machine that allows you to make deposits and withdrawals as well as bankbook entries by operating it. The control device 2]- is a device that controls the automatic machine 20, is provided for each business store or for each automatic machine, and controls a plurality of automatic machines 20 or one automatic machine 20. In addition, the control device 21
is connected to the host processing unit (
(not shown) and controls data transmission and reception with the host processing device.

The page bar detection unit 24 is a so-called barcode reader, and uses two light emitters 23 and a photosensor 11 to
The page bar representing the page of the set passbook is detected. In the present invention, the page information reading unit 25 reads out the first page information of the unprinted page of the passbook previously written to 1% of the information such as the customer's account number stored on the magnetic stripe through the magnetic head 14. On the other hand, the second page information update unit 26 uses the magnetic head 14 under the control of the control device 21 to change the page information in the magnetic stripe to the next page when it is necessary to change the first page after printing processing. This is used to replace the page value.

The negative number comparison unit 27 compares the current negative number based on the page bar detected by the 1st page bar detection unit 24 with optical means and the 9th page information reading unit 2.
5 compares the unprinted first page information detected by magnetic means to check whether they match.

If the numbers of pages are not equal, it means that the bankbook was set up incorrectly.

The page printed line number counting section 28 counts the number of printed lines on the current page, and in the case of a passbook with 24 lines per page,
When the count is 4, the page information update control unit 29 is notified to that effect. The initial count value may be given from the ledger of the host, or the number of printed lines may be stored on the magnetic stripe in the same way as page information, and the count may be read from there and set. The page information update control unit 29. In response to the notification from the page printing line number counting unit 28, the current negative number is incremented by 1 and the second page information updating unit 26 is instructed to write the updated page information on the magnetic stripe of one bankbook.

Next, the processing of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 will be explained with reference to FIG. First, when 9 passbooks are inhaled in the process 31 shown in FIG. 6, the number of banknotes is input in the process 32. Further, in process 33, the number of pages stored on the magnetic stripe (MS) is input, and in process 34, it is determined whether the negative number indicated by the 1-page bar and the negative number from the magnetic stripe are equal to 2. If they are not equal, there is an operational error in setting up the two bankbooks, so the bankbook is returned and a message is displayed instructing you to re-insert it.

If the negative numbers are equal and the print data has been transferred from the host processing device, one line is printed in process 35.

Then, in step 36, a print line number counter is counted up, and in step 37, it is determined whether two lines have been completed, that is, whether 24 lines have been printed on the page.

If printing is still possible, the process moves to step 38, where it is determined whether printing has been completed. When the transaction is completed and printing is completed, the bankbook is returned and the process is completed. If there is still print data from the host processing device.

Step 35: Repeat the same process.

As a result of the determination in process 37, if the number of lines that can be printed on the page has been completed, the process moves to process 39 and it is determined whether all pages of one passbook have been printed. If all pages have been printed, you will need to issue a new passbook because the edges of the passbook will be crossed over.

Return the printed passbook. If not.

In step 40, the number of magnetic stripes in the magnetic stripe is incremented by 1 and rewritten. Then, in step 41, it is determined whether printing has been completed, and if it has been completed, the passbook is returned. If print data still remains, the page is changed in step 42.

In the case of an automatic machine with an automatic page change mechanism, the page will be changed automatically. 2In the case of a manual machine, the passbook will be returned to the customer and 1
By the next page processing 43, which resets the next page,
Determine whether the new page is continuous with the previous negative page, if it is not continuous, perform error processing, and if it is continuous,
Return to process 35.

Repeat the process in the same way. It becomes possible to quickly and reliably check page errors on the terminal side before data communication with the host.

[F] As described in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent erroneous printing such as double printing on a passbook or skipping two pages due to a customer's setting mistake, and also to prevent Due to a printing line detection error due to defects and dirt on the passbook,
Misprinting can also be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to provide an automatic passbook machine system with improved serviceability.
