Description

Automatic transaction device and method to control said device.

Background of the invention

The present invention generally relates to automatic page turning units, and more particularly to a automatic page turning unit used to transport a medium with pages to a desired position and pass one. middle page with pages. The automatic page turning unit (to which later referred to as "PPA unit") according to the The present invention is suitable for a terminal that feeds and passes page of a savings book, such as an ATM ("CA"), a cash dispenser ("DM") and a automatic depository ("DA").

The present invention is not limited to unity PPA, but largely covers a transaction system automatic that has the PPA unit. Transaction systems automatic (or devices) are the systems that execute a process default (which includes broadcast, recording, reading, interleaving, editing, manufacturing, etc.) for a medium (such as a savings book, banknote, currency, card, ticket of train, admission ticket, certificate of values and others titles, mutual betting ticket, lottery tickets, items, and medical treatment card). Although the systems of Automatic transactions in this application cover in sense Wide an automatic money lending machine, machine Automatic card issuance, automatic device issuance of guards, etc., the most typical example is a CA arranged in a financial institution such as a bank, etc. Likewise, it must be understood that a medium with pages is not limited to a savings book, but extensively includes a metallic notebook, a register, etc.

Recently, bank terminals 24 hours have been increasingly designed to improve services to the client. These bank terminals have to be more stable to perform an operation without assistance. To register the result of a transaction on a plurality of pages in a savings book, a conventional AC is mounted with a unit PPA that automatically turns page of a savings book. The PPA unit is used to carry a savings book and pass your page using a PPA roller. The PPA unit turns the page of a savings book by feeding it a predetermined distance by under the PPA roller, and then turning the PPA roller on its desired page in the opposite direction to the address of feeding.

Banks use various types of notebooks each having a different thickness and stiffness, as seen in the general passbooks, term deposit account books, savings account books, etc. Since a user enters sometimes a savings book in a CA taking it out of your pocket, a savings book frequently has an end face disfigured (curved or distorted) or wavy. In that case, the notebook crashes into its distorted end face with the roller PPA at a right angle in the conventional PPA unit, and cannot slide under the PPA roller due to its rigidity, causing a traffic jam To make matters worse, a feeding force, which is constantly applied by the feeding mechanism to the savings book to feed the savings book below of the PPA roller, compress and wrinkle the end face of the notebook against the PPA roller.

The conventional PPA unit has thus been unable to  successfully feed a passbook that has a face of disfigured end below the PPA roller, and has often caused an incomplete jam or page step. A traffic jam makes The CA is unusable not only for customer services current, but also for all customers waiting in line. In particular, at night or on other occasions when you are not available the maintenance staff of the CA, the services until the following business hours.

Although a notebook successfully goes down the roller PPA, the PPA roller sometimes grabs your page to pass and prevents a full page step, also causing a jam or a step of insufficient page

Detailed description of the invention

With reference now to figure 1, it will be offered a description of an aspect of a principle of a system of automatic transactions 1 of an exemplified embodiment according to this invention. Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of the automatic transaction system 1. The system of automatic transactions 1 includes a controller 10, a unit PPA 20, and a processing part 30. Controller 10 is connected to the PPA unit 20 and the processing part 30, and controls each component The controller 10 can communicate with a machine external exchange (not shown). PPA 20 unit can transport a medium with P pages along a path of FP feed and turn middle page with pages P. The part processor 30 can transport the medium with P pages along of a feed path 11 and process it. The part processor 30 can be performed, for example, as a recorder that records information in the middle with P pages, like a reader who read media information with P pages, or a device collation that files a card, a movie, a tag, etc., in the middle with pages P. It is not necessary to state that the automatic transaction system 1 can include a means feeder in the entire FP feed path and various types of processing part 30. The medium with P pages is a book, book pocket, etc., composed of two or more pages.

The PPA 20 unit includes a (main) means of step 22, an auxiliary means of step 24, a feeder means 26 and a sensor means 28. The passage means 22 can turn the page of the medium with P pages in cooperation with the auxiliary medium of step 24 with or without an aid of the feeder means 26 or other means. When the means of step 22 can turn a page only in one address, the PPA unit 20 may have an internal mechanism or external to rotate the medium P 180 degrees.

The auxiliary means of passage 24 helps the means of step 22 when turning middle page with pages 1 adjusting a media condition with P pages, which includes its orientation and position, etc., before and after the middle of step 22 begins A step operation. For example, the auxiliary means of passage 24 would compress and adjust the deformed end face in the middle with P pages that is about to be introduced in the middle of step 22. In addition, the auxiliary means of step 24 would eliminate all capture a page to pass or an incomplete page step in the step means 22. The step 24 auxiliary means thus collaborates with the step 22 before and after the operation of step, thus avoiding, for example, both an introduction insufficient in the middle of step 22 as an incomplete operation during the step operation. The present invention also covers, however, that the auxiliary means of passage 24 cooperates with the means step 22 only before or after the operation begins on the way. The auxiliary means of passage 24 may be incorporated or separated from the passage means 22. The auxiliary passage means 24 can use a mechanical, magnetic, electrical or optical means or its combination.

The feeder means 26 can transport the medium with P pages along the FP feed path using a mechanical means such as a roller, a belt, etc, a magnetic medium that uses a magnet, etc., an electric medium that employs an electric force of attraction, etc., or its combination. The position of the feed path 26 shown in the figure 1 is merely illustrative, and thus the feeder means 26 can feed, medium P freely in the PPA unit 20. The medium feeder 26 may, if necessary, be incorporated with the medium feeder 36 to be described later or any other means external feeder

The sensor means 28 detects a state of the medium with P pages, including, for example, its position, etc., and a status of the element (s) related to the operation of passage of the medium with P pages, and communicates the information to controller 10. Controller 10 controls the operation of each component in the PPA 20 unit based on the information. The middle sensor 28 can use several types of sensors known in the technique. A position of the sensor means 28 shown in the figure 1 is merely illustrative. And the sensor means 28 may include, by example, a plurality of sensors located in a plurality of positions.

The processing part 30 includes a means processor 32, a sensor means 34, and a feeder means 36. The half processor 32 executes a predetermined process (for example, writing, reading, collation, etc.) for the medium with P. pages For example, the processor means 32 may receive, when you try to write default information, the information of controller 10 or an external central machine connected to the controller 10. Alternatively, the processing part 30 can have a memory (not shown) to store the information.

The sensor means 34 detects the position of the medium with P pages and other states, and a status of the element (s) related to a media process with P pages, and communicates the information to controller 10. Controller 10 controls an operation of each component in the processing part 30 based on the information. The sensor means 34 can employ various types of sensors known in the art. The position of sensor means 34 shown in figure 1 is only a example, and the sensor means 34 may include, for example, a plurality of sensors located in a plurality of positions.

The feeder means 36 can transport the medium with P pages along the FP feed path using a mechanical means such as a roller and a belt, a magnetic medium that uses a magnet, etc., an electric medium that employs an electric force of attraction, etc., or its combination. A position of the feeder means 36 shown in Figure 1 it is only an example, and the feeder means 36 can be placed freely in the processing part 30. The feeding means 36 may, if necessary, be incorporated with another feeder means external.

The configuration shown in Figure 1 is just one example, and the PPA 20 unit and / or the processing part 30 may have, for example, independent control means that can communicate with controller 10. When the PPA unit 20 and the processing part 30 respectively have control means independent that can intercommunicate with each other, the controller 10 can be omitted.

An exemplified operation of the system Automatic transactions 1 will be explained now. First the controller 10 orders the external feeder medium (no represented) that transports the medium with P pages to the part processor 30. Alternatively, a user of the system automatic transactions 1 can manually supply the medium P to the processing part 30. The sensor means 34, for example, can detect the reception of the medium P by the processing part 30. This Detection signal is transmitted to controller 10. In response, the controller 10 activates the feeder means 36 and orders the medium feeder 36 that transports the medium P to a process position (not shown) where the processor means 32 can operate. The feeder means 36 can transport the medium P a distance default Alternatively, the feeder means 36 can accurately place the medium P in the process position under the controller control 10 that has received a detection signal indicating the position of the medium P, the orientation, etc., of the medium sensor 34.

The controller 10 can recognize that the medium P is placed in a process position by the detection signal of the sensor means 34, or alternatively can recognize indirectly the same for a termination signal of feed from the feeder means 36. When the controller 10 recognizes that the means P is placed in the position of process, then orders the processor means 32 to process the half P in a predetermined way. A procedural state is detected by sensor means 34 and transmitted as a signal of detection to controller 10. Controller 10, when it recognizes in based on the detection signal from the sensor means 34 that is must turn the page of the medium 10, order the processor half 32 that  interrupt the process and to the feeder means 36 that carries the half P to the PPA unit 20.

The sensor means 28, for example, can detect a reception of the medium P by the PPA unit 20. This signal of detection is transmitted to controller 10. In response, the controller 10 activates the feeder means 26 and instructs it to transport medium P to a passage position (not shown) where the middle of step 22 can turn the middle page P. In that occasion, if necessary, the rotating medium (not shown) rotates the Medium P 180 degrees. The feeder means 26 can transport the half P a predefined distance. Alternatively, the medium feeder 26 can accurately place the medium P in a step position under the control of the controller 10 that has received the detection signal indicating the position of the medium P, the orientation, etc., of the sensor means 28.

The auxiliary means of step 24 collaborates in a fixing operation to properly place the means P (it is say, with proper guidance). The auxiliary means of passage 24, if necessary, adjust a media status with P pages that includes your orientation, position, etc.

The controller 10 can recognize that the medium P has been correctly placed in the position of the signal of detection from the sensor means 28. Alternatively, it can  indirectly recognize the same using the signal of feed termination of the feeder means 26. As the page turn operation of medium P could result in a traffic jam or a bad step unless the medium P is placed in a appropriate orientation, it is preferable that the sensor means 28 detect that the medium P has been correctly placed in a position of He passed. The sensor means 28 can directly detect the state of the medium P, but can be detected indirectly by detecting a condition of the element (s) that indicate the status of the half P.

The controller 10 orders, when it recognizes that the means P is correctly placed in the step position, when step 22 means (and components that operate with it) that look for through the middle P. In response, the middle of step 22 turns the page of the medium P. The auxiliary means of step 24 facilitates the passage of page to properly turn the landing page. The middle step auxiliary 24 operates so that it can facilitate the passage of page always or in case of insufficient page turning. The middle sensor 28, for example, can detect page turning insufficient, and sends a detection signal as the result of detection to controller 10. Controller 10, in response to the detection signal activates the auxiliary means of step 24. By For example, the controller 10 can order the auxiliary means of passage 24 to push the landing page, when the page is captured, in The direction of passage.

The sensor means 28 transmits, upon detecting that the landing page in the middle 1 has been passed successfully, a sign of  detection as the result of detection to controller 10. In response to this detection signal, the controller 10 orders the feeder means 26 that conveys the means P to the part processor 30. The sensor means 34, for example, can detect the reception of the medium P by the processing part 30. This signal of detection is transmitted to controller 10, so the controller 10 activates the feeding means 36 and orders the feeding means 36 that transports the medium P to the process position. How has it described above, when the medium P is transported to the process position The processor means 36 resumes a continuation of the previous process. Then, when the process of the medium P, the controller 10 orders, for example, the feeder means 36 that transports the medium P outside.

This operation is merely illustrative, and some or all operations can be implemented without the controller 10. When the PPA unit 20 and / or the processing part 30 they can have, for example, independent control means that can communicate with controller 10, you can use these means of control for the previous operation.

As stated above, according to automatic transaction system 1 of the present invention, the  auxiliary means of step 24 facilitates the page turning of the medium with P pages before and after the step operation begins, thereby avoiding a jam when the medium P is about to be placed in the passage position where the passage means 22 can operate, and avoiding insufficient page turning after the Step 22 means finish the operation.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, will now describe the PPA unit, the power unit provided of the PPA unit, and the AC equipped with the conveyor unit of a more concrete embodiment according to the present invention.

With reference now to figures 2 to 7, will describe the PPA 100 unit. Figure 2 is an overview in PPA 100 unit perspective. Figure 3 is an axis 120 and a shaft 106 having PPA rollers 102 and movable guides 110 for use with the PPA unit shown in figure 2. Figure 4 is a view in extended plan around axes 106 and 120 represented in Figure 3 seen from the N direction. Figure 5 is a view in partial section of the PPA 100 unit shown in Figure 2 to explain an operation of the PPA 100 unit that carries a medium with P pages, which according to a more concrete embodiment of the The invention consists of a book or bank book B. Figure 6 is a partial sectional view of the PPA 100 unit represented in figure 2 to explain an operation of the PPA 100 unit turning page of notebook B media. Figure 7 is an enlarged view of the mobile guide 110 in the PPA 100 unit to explain an auxiliary step operation for the means of notebook 13 by a mobile arm 114.

The PPA 100 unit is used to transport the passbook B along the FP feed path and turn page of savings book B. As represented in the Figures 2 to 7, the PPA 100 unit includes PPA rollers 102 and 104, mobile guides 110, axis 120, a panel P 130, a lever pressure 140, and feed rollers 150 and 152.

As depicted well in Figure 3, three PPA 102 rollers are fixed on and can rotate with the shaft 106.  As described below in detail, the PPA 102 rollers they serve to transport the booklet means B to the passage position in cooperation with the PPA 104 rollers and turn the middle page of notebook B in the passage position without cooperation of the roller Page 104. Three PPA 104 rollers are provided in position, although omitted in Figure 3, corresponding to the PPA rollers 102 of Figure 5. PPA rollers 104 (shaft 108 in which they are installed) can be removed from the FP power as described with reference to Figure 6. With reference to Figure 3, the PPA rollers 102 are formed of so that they have a roller shape in their center and a shape of gear on its edge. Such configuration prevents distortion of the savings book B, such as a wrinkle, etc., but it is not indispensable for the transport and page turning of the notebook savings B.

Two smoothing rollers 103 are provided, such as it is represented in figures 2 and 3, on axes 106 and 160, respectively. Each of the smoothing rollers 103 is formed, for example, of a rubber roller and serves to remove a wrinkle or a distortion of savings book 13 which is advancing along the FP feed path. There are rollers corresponding smoothing 103 below the previous rollers smoothing 103, although omitted in figure 2. The rollers of smoothing 103 are fixed on and can rotate with the axis 106. The smoothing rollers are illustrated, but not limited to, as a gear shape in figure 3. The smoothing rollers 103 do not they are necessarily fixed on the axis 106.

A spring 105 is installed, as shown in figures 2 to 4, about axis 106 between the PPA roller 109 and the mobile guide 110. The PPA roller 102 is fixed on the shaft 106 as explained above, while the mobile guide 110 can slide along axis 106, as will be explained more forward, although it is held at its end by a cylinder 107. The spring 105 presses against the movable guides 110 compressing them against the cylinder 107. In addition the spring 105 presses against the PPA 102 roller so that it offers a certain resistance when savings book B presses rollers 102. As a result, PPA 102 rollers allow transporting and turning the page of the savings book B in a stable and controlled way.

A gear 109 is located, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the right portion on axis 106, and is moved together with gear 159 that engages with shaft 160 by a gear mechanism 190.

The present embodiment provides two guides. mobiles 110 as depicted in figures 2 to 4, and are connected to each other by a coupling portion 119. It can be provide for any number of mobile guides that are not limited to two. For example, a movable guide 110 with a width can be provided L_ {2} instead of two mobile guides 110 each having one width L_ {1} in figure 4. The mobile guide 110 may have a arbitrary width If the mobile guide 110 is formed as depicted in figure 4, panel P 130 which will be described more afternoon has a complicated shape around axis 106 seen from above. Experimentally, the complicated form of the P panel around axis 106 would reduce the savings book jam B.

Savings book B advances between two rollers smoothing 103 on the left in figure 3, and the movable guides 110 are located around the center of savings book B. The length of the cylinder 107 can adjust a position of each mobile guide 110 (a distance from the left PPA roller 102 represented in figure 3). One position of each mobile guide 110 it is located like this around the center because the savings book B it is likely to distort around its center instead of Around its edges. Although the mobile guide 110 is arranged around axis 106, it is not fixed on axis 106 and thus can slide along it. The mobile guides 110 are retained in a end by cylinder 107 and compress at another end by the spring 105. Spring 105 and cylinder 107 thus place these guides mobile 110.

The mobile guides 110 serve to press the disfigured notebook B and properly fed below  PPA rollers 102. Mobile guides 110 fulfill a function similar to the smoothing rollers 103 at this point, and can adjust a greater distortion of savings book B than smoothing rollers 103. The movable guides 110 are located on the axis 120 with a limited turning range, as described later. The mobile guides 110 are manufactured, for example, of inclusive POM material, etc.

The mobile guide 110 has a main body cylindrical 111 and a pair of arms 112 and 114, as depicted in Figure 7. These arms 112 and 114 can contact the axis 120 and the mobile guide 110 can rotate between a state represented in the Figure 5, where arm 112 contacts axis 120, and a state represented in figures 6 and 7, where arm 114 contacts the axis 120. Although this embodiment establishes that the angle of rotation of the mobile guide 110 is approximately 90 degrees, a Practical application can change the angle arbitrarily. The restricted rotations of the movable guides 110 as has been mentioned above do not affect the rotations of axis 106 and rollers 102 and 103 fixed on shaft 106.

Arms 112 and 114 have slopes 112a and 114a as illustrated in figure 7. Each of these earrings 112th and 114th section section an edge line on the body principal 111. In particular, as described below, the slope 114a guides a disfigured or wavy end face of the passbook B between the PPA rollers 102 and 104 during a feeding period, even if you slide and lift a page to pass in savings book B on their surfaces during a Page turn period. Accordingly, the mobile guide 110 serves to facilitate page turning before and after start the page turning operation. The elastic force of spring 105 puts the movable guides 110 in an initial state as represented in figure 5.

The shaft 120 is fixed on the frame 180 although it can be connected to arms 112 and 114. Shaft 120 restricts, as described above, a rotation of the mobile guide 110.

The P 130 panel is rotatably arranged around the axis 132 represented in figure 2. As depicted in figure 5, panel P 130 serves as a sheet protective that pushes the savings book B down while savings book B is transported. In addition, as represented in figure 6, panel P can turn clockwise so that corresponds to a bump and a page rise when you try to turn the page of savings book B. The panel P is connected to an eccentric 134 shown in Figure 2 by an axis 132, and can rotate by the rotation of the eccentric 134. Panel P 130, as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, has curves 131 that move away from the FP feed path near a shaft coupling 106. With reference to Figure 5, it is necessary to understand that (slope 114a in) arms 114 prevents the savings book B is distorted along curve 131 and is separate from the FP power path. A protective plate 136 It is arranged in a non-rotating manner, as shown in the Figures 5 and 6, in front of panel P 130 with respect to the path FP power.

A pressure panel 140 includes, as is represents in figures 5 and 6, an actuation part 142 and an outstanding part 144. The drive part 142 moves rotating the projecting part 144 and separating the part overhang 144 of the FP feed path as depicted in figure 5 in an attempt to feed the notebook saving B, while projecting part 144 protrudes FP feed path as depicted in Figure 6 in an attempt to turn the page of savings book B.

The shaft 160 is provided with three rollers of feed 150 each having the same shape as the roller PPA 102.

The PPA unit has three 172 optical sensors, 174 and 176 as illustrated in Figure 2. Optical sensors 172 and 174 are reflex optical sensors and optical sensor 176 is a transmissive optical sensor Optical sensor 172 can detect a panel dome P 130, while optical sensor 174 can detect that a page of the savings book has been passed B. Optical sensor 176 can detect if the edge of the notebook saving B has reached the coupling between the panel P 130 and the shaft 106. Reflection and optical sensor structures are known and transmissive, and therefore its detailed description is omitted. It is not it is necessary to say that one position of each sensor can be altered optic shown in figure 2, for example, making panel P 130 of a transparent element, such as a plastic, etc., or of another way.

With reference now to Figure 8, a A unit will be described below. of accounting entry 200 that it has the PPA 100 unit. The accounting entry unit 200 processes the savings book B as realization of seats, and is included in the automatic treatment system of the present invention. The accounting entry unit 200, connected with a slot notebook 316, includes an introduction unit F 210, a unit of issuance of notebook F 220, a common front unit 230, a printing unit 240, the PPA unit 101, a unit of introduction R 250, and a book issuing unit R 260.

The introduction unit F 210 carries the passbook B and reads magnetic information from the passbook savings B. The F 210 input unit includes a position initial for the savings book B. The emission units of notebook F 220 and R 260 can be the same units that store new notebooks B. Alternatively, one of them stores notebooks new B while the other stores receipts or documents of entry, etc., for use in a bank or other institutions Financial A new notebook B is issued, for example, when all pages in savings book B have been printed completely and another notebook is needed. The common front unit 230, which can optionally be provided, transports and reads optically the savings book B. The common front unit 230, if it is applied to a medium with P pages other than the notebook saving B, you can, for example, read information as characters, graphics, etc., in the middle with P pages as an OCR unit known.

The printing unit 240 prints an extract of  transactions in the savings book B. The printing unit 240 may use, for example, a dotted line printer or any other printers known in the art. The unit of introduction R 250 has a cavity 252 that stores the notebooks B that users have forgotten to remove. A manager or another person from a bank or other financial institutions can then take these notebooks B through cavity 252 and store them in the banks, etc. The R 250 introduction unit also has a rotation mechanism that rotates 180 degrees, for example, such a notebook B savings with magnetic information on one side only. It has been of understanding that said accounting entry unit 200 is also applicable to a medium with P pages other than the savings book B.

Next, a CA 300 will be described which has the accounting entry unit 200, with reference to figures 9 and 10. Figure 9 is here a general perspective view of the CA 300 of an exemplified embodiment of the present invention. The Figure 10 is a block diagram to explain a system of control on the CA 300 illustrated in Figure 9.

The CA 300 shown in Figure 9 can handle several transactions, including a deposit, withdrawal, transfer and switching, accounting entry, checking balance, etc. The CA 300 seems to include a slot in its housing 310 of card 312, a ticket entry / exit 314, a slot of passbook 316, an entry / exit of 318 coins, and a portion operating 320. The CA 300 also includes, as represented in the Figure 10, inside a controller 330, which is connected to the accounting entry unit 200, operating portion 320, a bill recycling unit ("UDB") 340, and a unit of 350 card processing. Controller 330 is connected to many components, but are omitted in figure 10.

The 312 card slot through which a user inserts a card, is connected to the unit card processing 350 depicted in figure 10. The unit Card processing 350 has a card reader inside, a relief reader, and a portion of printer, although it is not represented in figure 10. The card reader reads the information recorded on a magnetic stripe on the card entered by a user The relief reader reads the information of characters and symbols embossed on the card. The portion of Printer prints the result of a transaction.

The entry / exit of tickets 314, through that a user withdraws and deposits a ticket, is connected to the UDB 340 illustrated in Figure 10. The UDB is a compatible unit deposit / withdrawal that allows the user not only to withdraw, but also deposit a ticket by entering information Transactional default. This unit can analyze and then Recycle deposited bills. The UDB includes, for example, a 10,000 yen banknote stacker that stores banknotes 10,000 yen

The structure of CA 300 represented in the Figure 9 is merely illustrative and the UDB 340 can be replaced by a ticket dispensing unit ("UDB") or a unit of deposit of envelopes ("UDS"). The UDB is a unit of dedicated withdrawal that dispenses a ticket equivalent to the amount  Withdrawal in response to a user (customer) who enters default transactional information, such as a card and a PIN, a withdrawal amount, etc. The UDS is a unit of deposit dedicated that handles a deposit amount in response to a user who enters transaction information and enters a envelope containing the bills to deposit.

A user enters a savings book B a through notepad slot 316 for transaction statements past The passbook B introduced through the slot of passbook 316 is transported to the accounting entry unit 200 in figures 8 and 10. The entry / exit of coins 318, through from which a user withdraws and deposits coins, is connected to a deposit of coins (not shown).

Operating portion 320 includes a screen in known color that has a touch keyboard (not shown). The Color display represents operational options and information necessary for transactions. According to the indications of screen navigation, a user performs a transaction pressing the touchpad and entering the information necessary, or otherwise.

The controller 330 can communicate with a central computer of an external financial institution by a means of communication (not shown). 330 controller controls the operations of the accounting entry unit 200, the operative portion 320, the UDB 340, the treatment unit of 350 cards and other components.

The CA 300 is illustrated as the called type of lobby in figure 9, but, in fact, can be applied to a CA wall call. The wall AC has a front (or a front cover) exposed outside the wall through which A user performs several transactions and inserts a card. The Remaining part (or a housing body) of the AC is embedded Inside the wall

With reference to Figure 11, below is will describe a seating operation in the CA 300 according to the present invention. Figure 11 is a flow chart to explain a seat operation of the CA 300. First, the 330 controller Determine if a user has selected the seat transaction from among a plurality of transactions shown on the screen in color of the operative portion 320 (step 1002). The controller 330 orders, when it determines that the user has selected the accounting transaction, to operating portion 320 that indicate on the color screen an instruction that indicates user who enters savings book B (step 1004). In The user is asked to enter the answer book. saving B through the pad slot 316. Generally, at user is prompted to enter savings book B with the Open seat homepage.

The entered notebook B is transported to the introduction unit F 210 shown in Figure 8, and reads Your magnetic information. The magnetic information read includes ID information that specifies the user's account. The controller 330 communicates, based on such information of identification, with a central computer in the institution financial that issued the savings book and acquires a account information (history) (step 1006). 330 controller extract from the account information the seat information that has not yet been introduced and transmits the information of seat to print unit 240 in figure 8. The drive unit print 240 stores the seat information in a memory volatile, such as a RAM (not shown) and expects a seat start instruction (step 1008). When a user enter savings book B while closing or while opening an erroneous page, the controller 330 can order the medium feeder in the F 210 input unit that returns the savings book by reverse rotation. Alternatively, the PPA unit can turn pages to the home page of seat. However, for descriptive purposes, a user has introduced a savings book while opening a page of proper seat start.

Controller 330, once it recognizes that there are a passbook B in the initial position in the unit of Introduction F 210, begins to transport savings book B to the PPA 100 unit. Controller 330, if necessary, reads the Character and graphic information using the front unit common 230, and orders the common front unit 230 to transport savings book B to a printing position before the PPA 230 unit. The printing position is set to a position, for example, where the magnetic strip (not shown) on the seat page of savings book B arrives at the position just below holes 182 at the entrance of all the unit 100 shown in figure 2. An optical sensor (not represented) can detect if passbook B has reached The printing position. When controller 330 determines by a sensor detection signal that the savings book B has reached the print position (step 1010), order the unit print 240 that starts printing the seat information (step 1012). When controller 330 determines that all Seat information has been printed on the current page (step 1014), return the savings book and finish the transaction of seat (step 1024). Controller 330 can find the end of the printing, for example, using a termination signal from printing of the printing unit 240. When the printing is finished printing, controller 330 can selectively indicate the termination of accounting entry on the color screen of the operating portion 320.

The printing operation by the unit printing 240 continues until all of the printing has been printed Seat information on the current page. 330 controller then determine using an optical sensor (not shown) if the current page of savings book B has been printed completely while still not recording information from seat, namely, if a page of the notebook should be passed Savings B (step 1016). Alternatively, controller 330 can determine if it is necessary to turn the page comparing the information of seat with the number of lines on each page in the notebook saving. For example, when savings book B has 24 lines per page, controller 330 can easily calculate the page turning timing from the information in seat. Once controller 330 determines what to pass  page, orders print unit 240 to interrupt the printing, and to the PPA 100 unit that carries the notebook saving B for the page step (step 1018).

In response, the PPA 100 unit moves the medium feeder (not shown), then the feed rollers 150 and 152, and carry savings book B to the left in Figure 5. Next, controller 330 determines using optical sensor 176 if the top of the notebook saving B has reached the coupling between panel P 130 and the axis 106 (step 1020). When controller 330 determines that the top of savings book B has reached the coupling between panel P 130 and axis 106, instructs the PPA 100 unit that interrupt the transfer by the feed rollers 150 and 152 and then transport savings book B to the position of step by default steps (step 1022). The position of step is a position in which the passbook B should be place so that you can turn the current page, for example, with reference to figure 5, the step position is established near a position where the top of the notebook Savings B passes through the PPA 102 roller.

One end face of savings book B introduced by the pad slot 316 is usually deformed or corrugated section for example by being transported by the user in his pocket. This distortion is compressed in the path of FP power supply through panel P 130 until the coupling between the P panel and axis 106. However, without the movable guide 110, the face end of the passbook B is likely to crash against the PPA roller 102 after curve 131. In contrast, according to the PPA unit of the present invention, the slope 114a of the arm 114 on each mobile guide 110 drives the end face deformed or wavy of the savings book B between the rollers PPA 102 and 104, thereby preventing the end face of the B passbook crash with the PPA 102 roller. A force elastic is provided to the mobile guide 110 by the spring 105. The elastic force is provided to allow opposing the force of understanding of the savings book B transported. The plate protector 136 prevents deformation of the savings book B under FP power travel. In addition the protective sheet 136 prevents savings book B from colliding with rollers 102 and 104. When the passbook B is inserted between the rollers PPA 102 and 104, the deformation of the edge of savings book B It is corrected by the smoothing rollers 103.

Next, controller 330 removes the shaft 108 and the PPA rollers 104 down in Figure 6 (step 1026). The controller 330 moves the drive part 142 in the pressure lever 140 and protruding the protruding part 144 to FP power travel (step 1028). As a result, the savings book B is distorted and bulges like a continuous line represented in figure 6. This distortion of savings book B It facilitates a page step. Along with the distortion of the notebook saving B, panel P 130 turns clockwise in the figure 6.

The controller 330 rotates the upper rollers PPA 102 to the left (that is, in the opposite direction to the feed direction) in figure 6 moving the mechanism of 190 gears (step 1030). As a result, each mobile guide 110 turn to the left along with axis 106 from a position represented in figure 5 to a position represented in the Figure 6 where the inner surface of each arm 114 is limited by axis 120. The fixing of each mobile guide 110 on the position represented in figure 6 does not affect the rotation of rollers 102 and 103. Then the current page of the savings book B.

In step 1030, the PPA rollers 102 pass the page of savings book B, for which the page is uploaded, and together with said page rise, panel P 130 turns more towards right in figure 6. The ascending page then slides to along the slope 114a of the arm 114 in each mobile guide 110. As illustrated by the continuous line in Figure 7, conventionally sometimes an ascending page is captured and remains in the PPA 102 rollers. A booklet feed savings B in this state as in step 1038 would return to the original position or curl the top of the page. In in contrast, the PPA 100 unit of the present embodiment eliminates this problem, because arm 114 in each mobile guide 110 slide the page to pass along its slope 114a as it illustrated in figure 7.

Controller 330 determines the termination of the page turning in the step position detecting a bulge of panel P 130 using the optical sensor (step 1032). When he controller 330 determines, using optical sensor 172, that the page has reached a position as represented by the line of a point in figure 6 (step 1032), scale the rollers 104 like this as axis 108 (step 1034). The controller 330 then moves the actuator part 142 on the pressure lever 140 and removes the  protruding part 144 of the FP feed path, removing the distortion of savings book B (step 1036). Is Elimination of distortion from savings book B would facilitate the next transport of the savings book B. Together with the distortion of savings book B, panel P turns towards left in figure 6. However, panel P is still FP feed path spacing since it has been passed a page of savings book B.

The controller 330 then orders the unit PPA 100 carrying the B passbook on the left in the Figure 6 by default steps (step 1038). The page to turn it is not located between the PPA rollers 102 and 104, and thus falls to the side opposite when savings book B is transported. Notepad saving B, when transported, partially protrudes to the introduction unit R 250 in figure 8. The controller 330 can detect, using optical sensor 174 which detects a bulge of panel P 130, if the page to be passed has fallen to the side  opposite. When controller 330 determines a termination of the page turning detecting that the page to pass has fallen to the side opposite (step 1040), order unit PPA 100, the unit common front 230, and the introduction unit F 210 in the figure 8 that move savings book B to the initial position in the introduction unit F 210 in figure 8 (step 1042). When he controller 330 determined using a sensor (not shown) that savings book B has reached the initial position, transport savings book B again to a position of print (step 1044), and return to step 1010.

Although the seating process has been described before where a user selects an accounting entry transaction in the operative portion 320, it is not necessary to state that the CA 300 You can ask the user if you want to enter the notebook savings, for example, after a transaction is completed withdrawal and if the user wishes to do so, the seat operation

Despite these aforementioned embodiments of the present invention, it is obvious that several can be done modifications and changes in the present invention without departing from Your spirit and reach.
