Definitions
- the invention relates to an information terminal which has at least one basic housing, a screen and an input device such as a keyboard and / or a card reader and an output device for the output of documents.
- Information terminals of the generic type are known in many embodiments and are used and used in banks, commercial buildings, authorities and museums, but also in industrial or production rooms in industry 10.
- the terminal often has a card reader which is designed as a magnetic card reader or chip card reader.
- the terminal user enters his magnetic or chip card that contains his personal data and can then call up personal information relating to him on the device, such as his account balance data on a bank statement printer.
- a keyboard can be provided for entering information.
- the terminal is also equipped with a printer so that the data retrieved can be printed out on paper.
- the document is offered to the user, who usually also takes it. If, however, the user has failed to remove the receipts from the output device within a certain time interval, they are drawn in again and stored in a return compartment. The receipts are then later taken out of the return compartment by the service personnel. However, if this is personal data that should not be viewed by a third person, a security vulnerability may occur.
- the object of the invention is therefore to close this security gap.
- the documents are made illegible before being placed in the return compartment.
- the documents be completely or partially blackened or cut 30.
- Printing unit used like an inkjet printer. If the documents are thermal paper, a thermal print line can also be used.
- a document shredder can be used to separate the documents.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective illustration of an information terminal according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of a printing unit.
- the information terminal 1 shows an information terminal 1, which can be, for example, an account statement printer or a device for accessing and processing personal data. Such information terminals are used in industry in production facilities, for example for processing vacation applications.
- the information terminal 1 has a basic housing 2, a screen 3, an input device 4 in the form of a keyboard and / or a card reader (not shown here) and an output device 5 for issuing receipts.
- a computer (not shown here) for data processing and the control of the individual components as well as a printing unit 6 for printing receipts and a container for the paper supply.
- the individual components of the printing unit 6 are shown in more detail in FIG.
- the printing unit 6 comprises a printing station 7, the embodiment shown here being a thermal printing line 7a for printing on thermal paper. Since a thermal printing line is characterized by a very long service life, the replacement of used ribbons as with a dot matrix printer is not necessary, so that subsequent service work at the printing station is not required, which is particularly advantageous in the self-service environment.
- a dot matrix printer, an inkjet printer or a laser printer can also be used.
- the paper to be printed is fed to the printing station 7 in a document feeder 8. It can also be a double document feeder, which enables the feed of different paper formats or pre-printed receipts, which are provided with a colored logo, for example.
- a colored cover sheet can be printed first and then customary white paper.
- It can be single sheet paper or continuous paper that is cut to the desired format in the printing unit.
- a transport roller 9 serves to transport the paper and presses the paper against the thermal printing line 7a.
- the transport roller 9 thus serves here as a pressure counter bearing.
- further rollers and transport rollers can be used within the scope of the invention.
- a collecting drum 11 is provided, for example, to form bundles.
- an assembly 14 is arranged in front of the take-back compartment 12, which makes the withdrawn document illegible. If it is a bundle of documents, the assembly 14 is preferably designed as a cutting device, for example in the form of a document shredder, which cuts the bundle of documents in such a way that it is no longer readable. However, if only single sheets are preferably output, then complete or partial blackening is advantageously provided. In this case, the assembly 14 is preferably designed as a printing unit.
- an inkjet printer can be used as the printing unit, which colors the sheet or the critical information on the receipt with an ink, which can also be colors other than black.
- a thermal printing unit can be used to blacken the paper as assembly 14, this being a thermal printing line 15 or also a fixing station such as is used, for example, in laser printers can. It is also conceivable that in the case of a thermal printing line, not all pixels are controlled at the same time, but only some of the pixels, so that only a partial blackening of the document takes place, which, however, is sufficient to make the document unrecognizable.
- a bundle consisting of thermal paper is also to be blackened by means of a thermal printing station
- the bundle is to be separated in front of the assembly 14 by means of a separating device so that individual sheets can be fed to the thermal printing station 15 in each case.
- a separating device so that individual sheets can be fed to the thermal printing station 15 in each case.
- a bundle of documents is of course also separated if an inkjet printer is used as assembly 14.
- the module 14 is only activated if the documents involved are sensitive data. Therefore, the information is identified accordingly, so that activation of the assembly 14 can be controlled as a function of the content of the information by means of application software.
- the invention thus closes the security gap for withdrawn documents that contain personal or other sensitive data.
