Definitions

• the present invention relates to a self-service device according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Such self-service devices are known, for example, in the form of value machines, in particular automatic cash dispensers, or account statement printers as well as information and / or transaction terminals in various designs.
• the basic housing of such a self-service device is designed according to the respective intended use.
• the operator panel is arranged in an ergonomically favorable position for the user.
• the components of the operator panel may be, for example, input and output devices, display devices and keyboards.
• Input devices may be, for example, magnetic card readers and cash entry devices. Output devices may be configured to issue bills and / or account statements, receipts, and the like.
• the display devices are usually screens and / or displays.
• the keyboard is used to enter numerical combinations for performing the respective action of the user.
• the keyboard need not be designed as touch-sensitive keys, but may also be integrated in the display as a so-called touch-screen and, for example, located next to, above or below the screen.
• skimming refers to a method of illegally using identification card data such as credit cards or Spy out bank cards. This data is read from the magnetic stripe of the card and then copied to counterfeit cards.
• the above-mentioned magnetic noise signals are generated by means of electronics and radiated as a magnetic interference through a coil located near the card-entry slot.
• a coil located near the card-entry slot.
• a coil consists of a wire winding, which is mounted on a ferrite core to increase the inductance.
• the position of the coil is particularly important for effective coupling into the reading head of a skimmer, since the position of the magnetic strip on a magnetic card may be different. Therefore, to effectively prevent skimming, multiple coils must be placed at specific locations near the card entry slot, which entails a high installation time and material costs.
• Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a self-service device, are effectively prevented in the fraud attempts by skimming in a cost effective manner.
• the magnetic interference unit of the self-service device is embodied as a coil circulating around the input device for identification cards.
• This has the advantage that this arrangement is suitable for all layers of the Magnetic strip of a magnetic card is equally effective.
• the magnetic interference unit can also be positioned closer to the input device for identification cards. This increases the effectiveness of the radiation of interference, so that the energy required to emit the interference is reduced compared to conventional jamming devices.
• the magnetic interference unit is designed as a so-called print coil. This is a printed on a printed circuit board or etched coil, which is particularly inexpensive to produce.
• the print coil is multi-layered.

• top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc. refer exclusively to the example representation and position of the self-service device and other parts selected in the respective figures. These terms are not intended to be limiting, that is, in various working positions or by mirror-symmetrical design or the like, these references may change.
• the self-service device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is equipped with a basic housing 2.
• a control panel 3 with a keyboard 4 of an input and / or output device 6 for notes of value, an input device 7 for identification cards and a screen 5 is provided on the operator side.
• the input device 7 for identification cards is preferably formed as a card slot 9 in the base housing 2, the identification cards are for example bank cards, which are designed as magnetic cards and have a magnetic strip on which various data of the holder of the identification card are stored.
• a magnetic interference unit 8 Arranged around the input device 7 for identification cards designed as a slot 9 is a magnetic interference unit 8 designed as a coil circulating around this slot 9 and electrically connected to electronics (not shown). By means of this electronics, the circulating coil emits magnetic interference signals which are suitable for coupling into the magnetic reading heads of skimming modules mounted on a slot 9.
• the trained as a rotating coil magnetic interference unit 8 is formed in a first embodiment as a winding coil.
• the circulating coil designed as a magnetic interference unit 8 is designed as a print coil printed or etched onto a printed circuit board 11, preferably in multilayer fashion as a so-called multilayer print coil, to increase the inductance.
