Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a program processing selection method, for example, a program processing selection method that can arbitrarily select a program for maintenance and inspection processing of an ATV. Regarding.

Conventional technology ATMs have a built-in microcomputer,
The memory stores various programs for business use, such as programs for processing ++3A, Wf numbers, amount data, etc. manually entered by customers, programs for processing accepted currency, and programs for payment processing. has been done.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention By the way, the above-mentioned ATMs undergo periodic maintenance and inspection, but during this maintenance and inspection, it is necessary to individually check the functions of each type. For this purpose, in the past, in addition to the above-mentioned business programs, various programs for one-time maintenance and inspection were stored in a memory, and the necessary programs were read out by operating a key for maintenance and inspection. Therefore, since various maintenance and inspection programs are stored in the memory, the memory capacity undesirably increases. but,
In ATMs, there is a certain limit to increasing the memory capacity, so the types of programs for maintenance and inspection processing that can be stored in the memory are limited. moreover,
When adding memory to increase the types of programs for maintenance and inspection processing, a problem arises in that the program body must be recreated. The above-mentioned problems are not limited to ATMs, but almost always occur in any electronic device using a microcomputer.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a program that allows an arbitrary program to be selected at the time of maintenance and inspection without storing a program for maintenance and inspection processing in advance, and that allows maintenance and inspection processing to be performed based on that program. The objective is to provide a processing selection method.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention provides an IC card incorporating an integrated circuit including at least a central processing means and a memory for storing a program, and a means for reading a program stored in the memory of the IC card. It consists of

In this invention, different programs for maintenance and inspection processing are stored in a plurality of IC cards, and at the time of maintenance and inspection, an IC card storing a desired program is selected, and the program is read out and stored in the electronic device. Then, maintenance and inspection processing is performed based on the program.

Embodiment FIG. 2 is an external view of an automatic teller machine to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied. In Figure 2, f of ATMl
! A card insertion hole 2, a passbook insertion hole 3, a handling display 4, and a call button 5 are provided on the vertical and heavy flannel surface. Card insertion hole 2 is for inserting a cash card,
The passbook insertion hole 3 is for inserting a deposit passbook.

The handling display 4 displays whether or not the ATM 1 is currently available for use. The call button 5 is operated when calling a staff member.

A banknote receiving slot 6, a coin receiving lower part, and a guidance 8 are provided on the horizontal panel surface of the ATM1.

The banknote receiving slot 6 is used to insert banknotes when making a deposit and to dispense the banknotes when making a payment. Should the hard-faced receiving loa pay? It pays out N coins.

Guidance 8 instructs the customer to insert a bankbook, insert a cash card, enter a personal identification number, etc. Generally speaking, ATMs are equipped with an attendant key. This clerk key 9 is operated by the clerk when inserting bills, coins, etc. into the ATM 1.

FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the ATV shown in FIG. 2, and FIG.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a program stored in the computer.

First, the electrical configuration of ATMI will be explained with reference to FIG. A RAM 11 and an interface 12 are connected to the CPU 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the RAM 11 is an area 11 for storing business programs.
1, and areas 112 to 114 for storing programs for maintenance and inspection processing by staff (hereinafter referred to as GE processing programs). Interface 1
2, a CRT 13, a touch panel 14, an IC card reader 15, a passbook printer 17, a bill processing section 18, a coin processing section 19, a slip processing section 20, and a floppy disk 21 are connected. The CRT 13 is used as the guidance 8 shown in FIG. 2 described above, and instructs the customer to insert a bankbook, enter a personal identification number, etc. The touch panel 14 is used to input a password, amount data, and the like.

The IC card reader 15 reads programs from the IC card 16. That is, the IC card 16 has C.
An integrated circuit including a PU 161 and a memory 162 is built in, and the memory 162 stores a program for maintenance and inspection processing. A plurality of types of such IC cards 16 are prepared, and each IC card 16
The memory 162 stores programs for different maintenance and inspection processes.

The passbook printer 17 prints data on a passbook. The banknote processing unit 18 processes banknotes that have been deposited or banknotes that are to be withdrawn. lI! One coin processing section processes coins to be paid. The slip processing unit 20 includes a printer that prints data on slips and an FK that emits printed slips.
It consists of the Mm section, etc.

FIG. 011 is a flow diagram for explaining the specific operation of an embodiment of the present invention.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, a specific operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

When the clerk operates a process selection switch (not shown) in the ATM 1, the CPU 10 determines whether or not GE processing is to be executed. If the CE processing is not executed, the business program stored in the area 111 of the RAM 11 is exposed and normal transaction processing is performed. If GE processing is to be executed, a preprocessing routine program is read from area 112 of RAM 11. This preprocessing routine
This is a program that requests insertion of the card into the card insertion hole 2. The staff member inserts the IC card 16 into the card insertion hole 2.

When the IC card reader 15 detects that the IC card 16 has been inserted, it provides a detection signal to the CPU 10 via the interface 12.

Based on the detection signal, cpuio detects the IC card 16.
is inserted. The IC card reader 15 reads the program stored in the memory 162 of the IC card 16 and sends it to the CPU via the interface 12.
Give 10. The CPU 10 stores the program read from the IC card 16 in the area 123 of the RAM 11. The CP (Jlo) then executes maintenance and inspection processing based on the program from the IC card 16 stored in the area 113 of the RAM 11.

When the CPU io finishes executing the maintenance/inspection process, it
A post-processing routine stored in advance in area 114 of AM11 is executed. This post-processing routine is for IC card 1.
It is 70 grams to return 6. When the IC card 16 is returned, the staff member takes it as a gift. When the IC card reader 15 detects that the IC card 16 has been handled, it provides a detection signal to the CPU 10. CPU 1
0 ends the series of operations when it is determined that the IC card 16 has been pulled out.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, various programs for maintenance and inspection processing are stored in the memory of an IC card, and at the time of maintenance and inspection, an IC card that stores the necessary programs is used.
A C card is selected, the program stored in the IC card is successively stored in the electronic device, and maintenance and inspection processing is performed based on the program. It is no longer necessary to memorize all the programs, and the memory capacity can be reduced. Moreover, since various programs for maintenance and inspection processing can be individually stored in the IC card and loaded on the J3, if the number of programs for maintenance and inspection processing is to be increased, it is possible to
All you have to do is increase the number of cards, and there is no need to rewrite the programs in the electronic device. Furthermore, in conventional general-purpose electronic devices, initialization is done by replacing the floppy disk, but in that case it is necessary to turn off the power and initialize. However, in the present invention, it is only necessary to read the program from the IC card, so different processing can be continued.
