DE2032966B2 - DEVICE FOR RECORDING IDENTIFICATION DATA ON A RECORDING MEDIUM - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a device for recording identification data on a Recording medium, in particular a card, for use in connection with a key typewriter zui.! Writing data in clear text and recording this data at the same time on an information carrier, e.g. B. a punched tape, in one for feeding into a calculating machine suitable encrypted form, the recording part for the encrypted data alternatively can also be controlled by a reader for scanning tines code carrier.

In the German patent specification 1212 755 a Sehreibrnäsehinenanäge with a typewriter controllable by scanning devices and also key-operated is described. In this typewriter system, two scanning devices for scanning recording media for automatic control of a single typewriter are designed and connected in such a way that, as in other typewriter systems, special perforations (switching code combinations) in the two recording media stop the scanning device in operation and the next scanning device is turned on up to its record medium a next switching triggering switching code combination scanned \ vi ^r d, but that, instead, only the occurrence of a toggle code combination in one of the record carrier a switchover to the other (printer) -Abtaster triggers, but that the printer-scanner only; n executes single cycle, which is automatically switched back to the engine scanner, namely ^unabhänt; g \ or \ the content of the gap scanned in the printer scanner. Switching back from the printer scanner is therefore not dependent on the occurrence of a switchover code combination in the recording medium of the printer scanner. In this typewriter system, there are two scanning devices that can be switched on alternately. for tape or card-shaped recording media for typewriter control available; a memory in which information recorded with the help of the typewriter can be temporarily stored and from which it can later be retrieved for transfer to a card, so that the card as a carrier for the identification data for subsequent recordings for automatic transfer of the Recording medium can be used is not provided in this typewriter system.

The German patent specification 972 633 relates to a typewriter, in particular an accounting machine, which is equipped with a mechanical storage mechanism. Through this storage facility but it should only be achieved that when you hit the keys of the typewriter not Immediately write the posted characters in order to make any improvements to be able to. For this purpose, the keystrokes on a mechanical storage mechanism transmitted, with a display device that makes the stored characters visible connected is. The stored characters are downloaded from the storage unit after checking and any improvements made when hitting the keys for the next one Automatically transfer the writing line to the corresponding type lever. This mechanical storage mechanism thus serves as a buffer for the continuous, temporary recording of the information a single line of typing while using the typewriter.

In hospitals, medical and other laboratories, industrial companies, financial companies, Wholesale companies, warehouse operations, etc., in which to store and process observed or other data determined by electronic calculating machines are used, it is common to Writing instruments with a keyboard can be used to provide the appropriate data both in plain text write and at the same time by means of a recording device, e.g. a punch, in encrypted Form to be recorded on an information carrier, which is used to enter the data in the calculating machine to enter.

For control purposes, the plain text is generally on a journal sheet at these facilities or any other suitable written record, while as a basis for registration usually a card, account sheet or similar sheet is used, that of the relevant Person or the order or the account

is ordered. This card is entered when the memory of a calculating machine is loaded for the first time.
The following stripes are also shown with some specific

Main data provided in plain text by providing the card with the exemplary embodiment details and further details alone or together with the journal sheet on the 5 advantages of the invention.
The roller of the typewriter is placed. The drawing shows in the form of a block diagram

If the device of the invention is to be started in connection with drawing in such a device, data specific to the keyboard T and a platen V must first be struck on a keyboard typewriter SK . The incoming card and accordingly the corresponding device according to the invention can completely or partially identify patients or the like so that the wise next to the key-typewriter or also information or information are always arranged separately under it.

The key typewriter SK can be queried again with any one of this address. Known recording part P _{1 is} connected to the typewriter the data clues or information must be supplied from dersel- in encrypted form and this data is the same identification data rewritten recorded on a punched tape H by means of which ben card, so that it can on the be zugehöri-. As the recording part P ₁ gene in place of Stripes appear. Apart from the fact that the process of a tape punch is also time consuming, it contains the risk of incorrect addressing in the event of stroke errors, which are serious except for the key typewriter SK Can have consequences if, for example, the recording part P _{1 can} also Diagnostic data can be controlled by a reading mode at the address of another device L, which can be noted, for example, on control patients. > Data stored on strips or punch cards

The object of the invention is to provide a can. Such a reading device is often used as a set device for a key-operated typewriter for connection with known writing implements, for example writing information in plain text and also for tabulating the recordings or for the timely recording of this information in the recording of fixed data,
coded form on an information carrier, e.g. the device also contains a memory M,

to create a punched tape or the like, which is controlled by a control device ST and offers the possibility of receiving the identification data required to be temporarily written on the key-operated typewriter at the beginning of a recording and of receiving them later to save to a unit P ₂ and to transfer it to a card in order to be able to release this data again for recording the stored identification card in later recordings as a code carrier. This memory M can be controlled for the automatic writing of the identification data 35 in such a way that the feeding in of it can be used. automatically terminated for storage purposes, so-

This task is performed with a device in which a certain number of characters have been written according to the invention using the gesture typewriter SK.
solves that the key typewriter with a memory. The memory M can be a memory that is used when you hit identi- 40 rather known type, for example a fikationsdaten on the keyboard of the key write magnetic core memory or a so-called active Machine for the temporary storage of this memory, which is provided and has a register of bistable elements data in encrypted form. Appropriately, a light signal that a controllable by the memory unit is provided with which the achievement of the memory card recording of the stored identification data 45 capacity is indicated.

The first time data is entered on a

Card is present: ¹ , which, as already mentioned, the memory M is fed with the same identification data for the load-related identification data in later recordings, and as a code carrier for the automatic renewed card at the same time while this is in the Clear text can be used on the recording of this data on the punched tape and, if necessary, on a journal sheet. and further written in encrypted form on the Lochin embodiment of the invention is provided for strip-H are transmitted. After the end of the fact that the memory either against deleting the identification data, the storage or against feeding in the first character solution of the memory M is ended and the further recording or the first characters of a new identification drawing on the punched tape H by writing data group is lockable. continued on the ^ asten typewriter SK , as the memory of the additional device is only used, if necessary, alternately with fixed data from one, to record identification data when recording information control strips or another code carrier in Lemationen for the first time, segerätL needs. Before you go to another card over no large storage capacity and you are 60, you insert the first card into the unit P ₂ , which is relatively inexpensive. The use, which can also be a strip hole punch or a one-and-one recording device designed according to the invention, and direction brings about important advantages for the users explained above by actuating a special key the stored data from the memory M , so that time is saved with repeated recordings under 65 they are entered in encrypted form on the card with the same "address" and the security that information will be.

information associated with certain identification data

are linked, always at the same address in one linked with other identification data

Recording, the saved in / stored information is automatically deleted so that it is ready for new identification data recording.

If a new recording is to be made later in connection with a card that has previously been punched with identification data, this card is first inserted into the reader L (after having removed a code carrier previously present in it, if necessary), which sends the relevant identification data to the Recordest ·! P ₁ for recording on the strip // passes before the further information is recorded. At the same time, the information can of course also be written in the usual way in plain text on a writing carrier on the roller V, for example on a journal sheet.

When data are to be transferred to a strip which originate from observations noted on cards, it often happens that a series of consecutive cards relating to persons, accounts, agents, etc. have certain characteristics in common, that is, entries in groups for different ones Categories are made, which therefore also have the first characters of the identification data in common. In such cases it can be useful to control the memory M by means of the control unit ST in such a way that the first character (s), ie the characters common to the group of the information data, can be masked out by means of a switch or the like, so that they can be masked out are permanently stored in the memory and, in the case of entries from cards in the same group, only a smaller number of characters are stored and deleted, namely those that are not common to the entire group.

The aforementioned features do not prevent the entire identification data from being recorded _{on the card with the aid of the unit P 2} each time a new card is used for the first time.

If the memory M is connected to only a single key-operated typewriter SK , as in the illustrated embodiment, it is a relatively inexpensive additional equipment. In factories with several writing stations, it will be more expedient to provide a single central memory that can contain several or all of them

ίο writing positions is assigned and from these after Can be controlled as required. In this case, it can also be useful to save the memory in to include the adding machine. The device according to the invention can also be used for systems where the data from the keyed typewriter is entered directly into a calculating machine will.

Since a card for repeated feeding of the identification data via the reader L in the

ao recording part P _{1 should be} usable, it is recommended to attach the code to a point on the card where it is exposed to as little damage as possible from wear, for example along an edge or in a special rag or port that is attached to the card , on which the plain text is written, is firmly connected.

In hospitals, for example, the card can be a patient card, a customer card or an account card. A writing medium that is not normally referred to as a card, for example sheets, loose sheets, journal sheets or the like, can just as well be used. It is essential that the writing medium in question is suitable for taking notes or for writing in plain text and is provided specifically for certain identification data, ie for a certain patient, an order or the like, and is suitable for use in the unit P ₂ and in the reading device L.
