The invention provides a method for improving decoding compatibility of a magnetic stripe card reader, which comprises two effective signal judgment methods: the effective signal identification method takes the signal average energy of continuous signals and the amplitude difference of adjacent bit signals as judgment basis.
For the former: firstly, generating initial bit signal energy according to a first frame preamble synchronous signal, generating a first signal energy threshold by the product of the ratio of the value and the initial bit signal energy threshold, and taking the first signal energy threshold as a final condition for effective signal judgment. And secondly, the card reader acquires the first bit data signal, generates first bit signal energy and assigns the first bit signal energy as the average energy of the previous bit signal. And then, the card reader acquires a second bit data signal and generates second bit signal energy, generates second bit signal average energy according to the previous bit signal average energy, the signal average energy smoothing factor and the second bit signal energy in a calculation mode of the signal average energy, and resets the previous bit signal average energy to the second bit signal average energy.

For the latter, the decision rule includes two: whether the waveform of the second bit data signal meets the requirement of the encoding format of the magnetic stripe card encoding F2F is judged, if yes, the signal is continuously compared, otherwise, the signal is noise; and subtracting the amplitude difference of the second bit data signal from the amplitude difference of the previous bit signal, taking an absolute value of the obtained difference, judging whether the absolute value exceeds a preset noise signal amplitude difference lower limit, if not, the second bit data signal is an effective signal, otherwise, the second bit data signal is noise. After the card reader judges the second bit data signal according to two discrimination modes of signal average energy and adjacent signal amplitude difference, if the second bit data signal is judged to be an invalid signal, the card reader does not directly quit the decoding process but adds 1 to an invalid signal counter for maximum compatibility consideration, and the card reader should quit the operation until the invalid signal counter is larger than the non-standard signal upper limit, which indicates that the magnetic strip card magnetic medium environment is too severe. The judgment modes from the third bit to the last bit are consistent with the judgment flow of the second bit. Therefore, the method of the invention not only has sufficient means for judging the effective signal, but also can improve the decoding compatibility to the severe signal environment by setting the signal average energy and the invalid signal counter.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a method for improving decoding compatibility of a magnetic stripe card reader provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps:
step 1, initializing the value of an invalid signal counter to be 0 by the card reader, initializing the value of a decoding state to be 0, initializing the value of bit signal average energy before initialization to be 0, and initializing the value of magnetic stripe data after decoding to be null.
And 2, the card reader acquires the non-standard signal upper limit and the signal average energy smoothing factor from the system area.
And 3, acquiring a first frame preamble synchronous signal and a first frame data signal of the magnetic stripe data by the card reader through the relative motion of the magnetic head and the magnetic stripe.
Here, the encoding format of the magnetic stripe card storage medium is implemented in accordance with the magnetic stripe card F2F encoding format. According to the F2F encoding format, each of the valid information data stored on the magnetic strips is preceded by a segment of synchronization signal data. The purpose is to make the magnetic head ready for signal synchronization and digital signal conversion by reading the synchronous signal data. In the embodiment of the invention, the energy average calculation is carried out on the segment of the synchronous signal to generate the energy of the start bit signal.
And 4, the card reader sums all signal peaks in the first frame preamble synchronous signal to generate a peak sum according to the first frame preamble synchronous signal, and performs peak sum average calculation on the peak sum according to the peak sum of the first frame preamble synchronous signal to generate initial bit signal energy.
Here, all peaks appearing in the synchronization signal are extracted first, and the peaks are superimposed to generate a peak sum. And then extracting the total number of peaks in the synchronous signal, dividing the total number of the peaks by the total number of the peaks to perform average calculation, and obtaining the data which is the energy of the initial bit signal. This starting bit signal energy will be one of the important decision parameters for the subsequent valid signal.
Taking fig. 3 as an example of a data signal diagram of the magnetic stripe card encoding format F2F provided by the embodiment of the present invention, assuming that there are 4 leading zero-value bit data signals in the leading synchronization signal of the first frame, the peak sum is the peak sum in 4 bits, i.e., the peak value sum is the signal peak value P11+ the signal peak value P12+ the signal peak value P13+ the signal peak value P14, the total number of the peak values is 4, and the value of the energy of the starting bit signal is (the signal peak value P11+ the signal peak value P12+ the signal peak value P13+ the signal peak value P14)/4.
And 5, the card reader extracts a first bit data signal according to the first frame data signal, calculates the signal amplitude difference of the first bit data signal to generate a front bit signal amplitude difference, extracts the maximum peak value of the first bit data signal to generate first bit signal average energy, and resets the front bit signal average energy according to the first bit signal average energy.
Here, the signal amplitude difference calculation is performed on the first bit data signal to generate a previous bit signal amplitude difference, specifically, a maximum peak value and a minimum peak value of the first bit data signal are extracted, and the minimum peak value is subtracted from the maximum peak value to obtain a difference, which is the previous bit signal amplitude difference;
taking fig. 3 as an example of a schematic diagram of a data signal in the magnetic stripe card encoding format F2F according to the embodiment of the present invention, the amplitude difference of the bit signal of the first bit data signal, that is, the amplitude difference of the bit signal at the previous place, is specifically an amplitude difference a 1;
extracting the maximum peak value of the first bit data signal to generate first bit signal average energy, specifically, setting the value of the first bit signal average energy as the maximum peak value of the first bit data signal;
taking fig. 3 as an example of a schematic diagram of a data signal in the magnetic stripe card encoding format F2F according to an embodiment of the present invention, the maximum peak value of the first bit data signal is specifically the signal peak value P21, that is, the average energy of the first bit signal is specifically the signal peak value P21.
And 6, the card reader extracts a second bit data signal according to the first frame data signal.
And 7, the card reader judges the noise signal according to the amplitude difference of the second bit data signal and the previous bit signal to generate a first signal judgment result.
Here, the values of the first signal determination result include: both valid and noise signals. If the signal waveform of the second bit data signal does not conform to the encoding format of the magnetic stripe card F2F, the value of the first signal judgment result is a noise signal; and if the absolute value of the difference value between the signal amplitude difference of the second bit data signal and the signal amplitude difference of the previous bit data signal is greater than the lower limit of the noise signal amplitude difference, the value of the first signal judgment result is a noise signal.
Here, taking the schematic diagram of the data signal in the magnetic stripe card encoding format F2F provided in fig. 3 as an example, the amplitude difference of the previous bit signal is specifically an amplitude difference a1, and the signal amplitude difference of the second bit data signal is specifically an amplitude difference a 2. If the amplitude difference A2-the amplitude difference A1| > the lower limit of the amplitude difference of the noise signal, the current signal amplitude difference deviates from the range of the effective signal amplitude difference, namely the current bit signal is judged as the noise signal. Otherwise, the current signal amplitude difference does not deviate from the effective signal amplitude difference range, and the signal amplitude difference of the previous bit is reset according to the amplitude difference A2.
And 8, judging the first signal judgment result by the card reader, turning to the step 9 when the first signal judgment result is an effective signal, adding 1 to the value of the invalid signal counter when the first signal judgment result is a noise signal, and turning to the step 12.
Here, when the current bit data signal is found to be substantially a noise signal, the statistics are performed by the invalid signal counter. The invalid signal counter is used for counting invalid signals when a number of bit signals in a current data frame signal exceeds a non-standard signal upper limit set by a system, and when the number of the invalid signals exceeds the non-standard signal upper limit set by the system, the invalid signals in the current data frame signal are excessive, namely the environment of a magnetic medium on a read magnetic stripe is too poor or interference signals in the reading environment of a magnetic head are excessive, in this case, time is saved, misreading is avoided, and the card reader can definitely quit the current reading and decoding process and send error early warning information to an upper computer.
And 9, the card reader extracts the maximum peak value of the second bit data signal according to the second bit data signal to generate second bit signal energy.
Taking fig. 3 as an example of a schematic diagram of a data signal with an encoding format of the magnetic stripe card F2F according to an embodiment of the present invention, the energy of the second bit signal is specifically the signal peak P22.
Step 10, the card reader carries out effective signal judgment operation according to the initial bit signal energy, the previous bit signal average energy and the second bit signal energy to generate a second signal judgment result,
the method specifically comprises the following steps: step 101, a card reader acquires a signal average energy smoothing factor and an initial bit signal energy threshold proportion from a system area;
102, generating a first signal energy threshold by the card reader according to the product of the initial bit signal energy and the initial bit signal energy threshold ratio;
103, the card reader calculates the average energy of the current signal according to the second bit signal energy, the average energy of the previous bit signal and the smoothing factor of the average energy of the signal to generate the average energy of the second bit signal, resets the average energy of the previous bit signal according to the average energy of the second bit signal,
the method specifically comprises the following steps: step 1031, the card reader calculates according to the formula (1- α) x Pave + α x Pcur and the signal average energy smoothing factor and the second bit signal energy, the previous bit signal average energy and the signal average energy smoothing factor to generate the second bit signal average energy, wherein α is the signal average energy smoothing factor, Pave is the previous bit signal average energy, and Pcur is the second bit signal energy;
taking fig. 3 as an example of a schematic diagram of a data signal in a magnetic stripe card encoding format F2F according to an embodiment of the present invention, where Pcur is specifically a signal peak value P22, and Pave is specifically a signal peak value P21, the average energy of the second bit signal is specifically (1- α) × signal peak value P21+ α × signal peak value P22, and after the calculation of the average energy of the second bit signal is finished, the average energy of the previous bit signal, that is, the value of Pave is changed to the average energy of the second bit signal.
Here, there is a special processing procedure for Pave calculation, because there is no so-called previous bit signal average energy for the first bit signal data, so that at the time of the first bit, the first bit signal average energy is identical to the first bit signal energy, and from the second bit until the last bit, the current bit signal energy is different from the current bit signal average energy. The specific relationship is shown in the following table.
Watch 1
Step 1032, the card reader resets the average energy of the previous bit signal according to the average energy of the second bit signal, specifically, the card reader resets the average energy of the previous bit signal to the average energy of the second bit signal:
and step 104, when the value of the average energy of the second bit signal is greater than or equal to the value of the first signal energy threshold, the card reader sets the value of the second signal judgment result as an effective signal.
Here, the values of the second signal determination result include: an active signal or an inactive signal.
And 11, judging the second signal judgment result by the card reader, turning to step 13 when the second signal judgment result is a valid signal, adding 1 to the value of the invalid signal counter when the second signal judgment result is an invalid signal, and turning to step 12.
And step 12, the card reader judges whether the value of the invalid signal counter is greater than the value of the non-standard signal upper limit, if the value of the invalid signal counter is greater than the value of the non-standard signal upper limit, the value of the decoding state is set to be 1, the step 15 is carried out, and if the value of the invalid signal counter is less than or equal to the value of the non-standard signal upper limit, the step 14 is carried out.
Here, if the card reader sets the value of the decoding state to 1, the identification is made when the number of invalid signals exceeds the non-standard signal upper limit set by the system.
And step 13, the card reader performs effective signal decoding operation according to the second bit data signal to generate a second bit value, and performs bit adding operation on the decoded magnetic stripe data according to the second bit value.

And step 15, the card reader judges whether the value of the decoding state is 0, and when the value of the decoding state is 0, the card reader sends decoding success state information and decoded magnetic stripe data to the upper computer.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a method for improving decoding compatibility of a magnetic stripe card reader provided in the second embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps:

Here, the encoding format of the magnetic stripe card storage medium is implemented in accordance with the magnetic stripe card F2F encoding format. According to the F2F encoding format, each of the valid information data stored on the magnetic strips is preceded by a segment of synchronization signal data. The purpose is to make the magnetic head ready for signal synchronization and digital signal conversion by reading the synchronous signal data. In the embodiment of the invention, the energy average calculation is carried out on the segment of the synchronous signal to generate the energy of the start bit signal.
And 24, the card reader sums all signal peaks in the first frame preamble synchronous signal to generate a peak sum according to the first frame preamble synchronous signal, and performs peak sum average calculation on the peak sum according to the peak sum of the first frame preamble synchronous signal to generate the starting bit signal energy.
Here, all peaks appearing in the synchronization signal are extracted first, and the peaks are superimposed to generate a peak sum. And then extracting the total number of peaks in the synchronous signal, dividing the total number of the peaks by the total number of the peaks to perform average calculation, and obtaining the data which is the energy of the initial bit signal. This starting bit signal energy will be one of the important decision parameters for the subsequent valid signal.
And 25, the card reader extracts a first bit data signal according to the first frame data signal, calculates the signal amplitude difference of the first bit data signal to generate a front bit signal amplitude difference, extracts the maximum peak value of the first bit data signal to generate first bit signal average energy, and resets the front bit signal average energy according to the first bit signal average energy.

step 273, the card reader judges whether the result of the second judgment result is successful, if the second judgment result is successful, the card reader sets the value of the first signal judgment result as an effective signal, and the step 28 is switched to; if the second determination result is failure, the card reader exits the noise signal determination operation procedure and sets the value of the first signal determination result as the noise signal, and goes to step 28.
Here, the values of the first signal determination result include: both valid and noise signals. If the signal waveform of the second bit data signal does not conform to the encoding format of the magnetic stripe card F2F, the value of the first signal judgment result is a noise signal; and if the absolute value of the difference value between the signal amplitude difference of the second bit data signal and the signal amplitude difference of the previous bit data signal is greater than the lower limit of the noise signal amplitude difference, the value of the first signal judgment result is a noise signal.
In step 28, the card reader determines the first signal determination result, and proceeds to step 29 when the first signal determination result is a valid signal, and increments the value of the invalid signal counter by 1 when the first signal determination result is a noise signal and proceeds to step 32.
Here, when the current bit data signal is found to be substantially a noise signal, the statistics are performed by the invalid signal counter. The invalid signal counter is used for counting invalid signals when a number of bit signals in a current data frame signal exceeds a non-standard signal upper limit set by a system, and when the number of the invalid signals exceeds the non-standard signal upper limit set by the system, the invalid signals in the current data frame signal are excessive, namely the environment of a magnetic medium on a read magnetic stripe is too poor or interference signals in the reading environment of a magnetic head are excessive, in this case, time is saved, misreading is avoided, and the card reader can definitely quit the current reading and decoding process and send error early warning information to an upper computer.
And 29, the card reader extracts the maximum peak value of the second bit data signal according to the second bit data signal to generate second bit signal energy.
Step 30, the card reader carries out effective signal judgment operation according to the initial bit signal energy, the previous bit signal average energy and the second bit signal energy to generate a second signal judgment result,
the method specifically comprises the following steps: step 301, a card reader obtains a signal average energy smoothing factor and an initial bit signal energy threshold proportion from a system area;
step 302, the card reader generates a first signal energy threshold according to the product of the initial bit signal energy and the initial bit signal energy threshold ratio;
step 303, the card reader calculates the average energy of the current signal according to the second bit signal energy, the average energy of the previous bit signal, and the smoothing factor of the average energy of the signal to generate the average energy of the second bit signal, and resets the average energy of the previous bit signal according to the average energy of the second bit signal,
the method specifically comprises the following steps: step 3031, the card reader calculates to generate the second bit signal average energy according to the formula (1- α) x Pave + α x Pcur according to the second bit signal energy, the previous bit signal average energy and the signal average energy smoothing factor, wherein α is the signal average energy smoothing factor, Pave is the previous bit signal average energy, and Pcur is the second bit signal energy;
3032, the card reader resets the average energy of the previous bit signal according to the average energy of the second bit signal, specifically, the card reader resets the average energy of the previous bit signal to the average energy of the second bit signal;
and step 304, when the value of the average energy of the second bit signal is greater than or equal to the value of the first signal energy threshold, the card reader sets the value of the second signal judgment result as an effective signal.
Here, the values of the second signal determination result include: an active signal or an inactive signal.
In step 31, the card reader determines the second signal determination result, and proceeds to step 33 when the second signal determination result is a valid signal, and increments the value of the invalid signal counter by 1 when the second signal determination result is an invalid signal, and proceeds to step 32.
In step 32, the card reader determines whether the value of the invalid signal counter is greater than the value of the non-standard signal upper limit, if the value of the invalid signal counter is greater than the value of the non-standard signal upper limit, the value of the decoding state is set to 1, and the process goes to step 35, and if the value of the invalid signal counter is less than or equal to the value of the non-standard signal upper limit, the process goes to step 34.
Here, if the card reader sets the value of the decoding state to 1, the identification is made when the number of invalid signals exceeds the non-standard signal upper limit set by the system.
And step 33, the card reader performs effective signal decoding operation according to the second bit data signal to generate a second bit value, and performs bit adding operation on the decoded magnetic stripe data according to the second bit value.
And step 34, the card reader extracts the third bit data signal according to the first frame data signal and performs noise signal judgment, effective signal judgment and effective signal decoding on the third bit data signal until the end bit data signal of the first frame data signal is extracted and completes the noise signal judgment, the effective signal judgment and the effective signal decoding on the end bit data signal.
And step 35, the card reader judges whether the value of the decoding state is 0, and when the value of the decoding state is 0, the card reader sends decoding success state information and decoded magnetic stripe data to the upper computer.
The invention provides a method for improving decoding compatibility of a magnetic stripe card reader, which comprises two effective signal judgment methods: the effective signal identification method takes the signal average energy of continuous signals and the amplitude difference of adjacent bit signals as judgment basis.
For the former: firstly, generating initial bit signal energy according to a first frame preamble synchronous signal, generating a first signal energy threshold by the product of the ratio of the value and the initial bit signal energy threshold, and taking the first signal energy threshold as a final condition for effective signal judgment. And secondly, the card reader acquires the first bit data signal, generates first bit signal energy and assigns the first bit signal energy as the average energy of the previous bit signal. And then, the card reader acquires a second bit data signal and generates second bit signal energy, generates second bit signal average energy according to the previous bit signal average energy, the signal average energy smoothing factor and the second bit signal energy in a calculation mode of the signal average energy, and resets the previous bit signal average energy to the second bit signal average energy. The card reader compares the average energy of the second bit signal with the first signal energy threshold, and if the average energy of the second bit signal is smaller than the first signal energy threshold, the card reader is regarded as an invalid signal; otherwise, the signal energy greater than or equal to the first signal energy threshold is regarded as a valid signal.
For the latter, the decision rule includes two: whether the waveform of the second bit data signal meets the requirement of the encoding format of the magnetic stripe card encoding F2F is judged, if yes, the signal is continuously compared, otherwise, the signal is noise; and subtracting the amplitude difference of the second bit data signal from the amplitude difference of the previous bit signal, taking an absolute value of the obtained difference, judging whether the absolute value exceeds a preset noise signal amplitude difference lower limit, if not, the second bit data signal is an effective signal, otherwise, the second bit data signal is noise. After the card reader judges the second bit data signal according to two discrimination modes of signal average energy and adjacent signal amplitude difference, if the second bit data signal is judged to be an invalid signal, the card reader does not directly quit the decoding process but adds 1 to an invalid signal counter for maximum compatibility consideration, and the card reader should quit the operation until the invalid signal counter is larger than the non-standard signal upper limit, which indicates that the magnetic strip card magnetic medium environment is too severe. The judgment modes from the third bit to the last bit are consistent with the judgment flow of the second bit. Therefore, the method of the invention not only has sufficient means for judging the effective signal, but also can improve the decoding compatibility to the severe signal environment by setting the signal average energy and the invalid signal counter.
