Description

  The present invention relates to a crime prevention management system for paper sheets with serial numbers (banknotes, securities, etc.).

  Examples of the paper sheets with serial numbers include banknotes and securities (for example, public and corporate bonds and stock certificates). All of them suffer from forgery problems, and various techniques for determining the authenticity of banknotes have been proposed.

  For example, it comprises magnetic ink detection means for detecting magnetic ink used in special manuscripts such as banknotes and securities, and discriminating means for discriminating whether or not the manuscript is a special manuscript based on the detection result by the magnetic ink detection means. A special document discrimination device has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, a paper sheet identification method and apparatus that perform statistical processing on feature information of bills, collect them into a small number of feature amounts, and perform authenticity determination using the feature amounts have been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2). ).

  However, nowadays, general printing and copying technologies have also been developed, and magnetic ink and the like are easily available, making it difficult to identify the authenticity of banknotes.

  On the other hand, against theft, banknotes or the like are stored in a safe, or an ATM (automatic transaction apparatus) or the like uses an alarm device or a monitoring device to prevent crime (for example, see Patent Document 3).

However, recently, there are frequent cases in which safes are stolen or banknotes are stolen by destroying ATMs using heavy machinery, and an effective solution to theft is strongly demanded.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a security management system 1 for serially numbered paper sheets according to the present invention includes a server device 20 and a plurality of client devices 10 that are communicably connected via a communication line 30. Each time 20 receives a serial number of a paper sheet from each client device 10, if it matches and matches the registered serial number, it is determined that it is a counterfeit paper sheet and is registered as a stolen paper sheet. If they match with the serial number, they are determined to be stolen paper sheets, and abnormality occurrence information is transmitted to the client device 10 respectively. In other words, the crime prevention management system 1 manages and records the serial numbers of the paper sheets with serial numbers (such as banknotes), thereby facilitating the discovery of forged paper sheets and theft paper sheets and preventing theft. Is.

  In this embodiment, banknotes (thousand-yen bills, two-thousand-yen bills, five-thousand-yen bills, ten-thousand-yen bills) currently generally distributed in Japan are selected as the paper sheets with serial numbers. The server device 20 is installed in a center (banknote serial number management center) that records, collates and manages banknote serial numbers in a lump. Further, the client device 10 is installed at a location managed by a contractor (individual, company, various financial institutions, etc.) who has signed a contract with the banknote serial number management center.

  As the communication line, any one of an Internet line, a wired telecommunication line (general line, dedicated line), an optical communication line, and a satellite communication line is used. Further, in order to more effectively solve the bill crime, the server device 20 and the police are connected via a communication line, and the abnormality occurrence information is reported to the police.

  Here, an identification number and a password corresponding to the client device 10 are issued from the banknote serial number management center to the contractor described above. When the contractor has a plurality of safes, ATMs, and the like and installs the client device 10 in each, an identification number is issued for each device 10.

  More specifically, each client device 10 includes an information transmission unit and an information output unit that can receive and output information from the server device 20, and uses a computer organization or the like. Note that the mail function or WEB communication function of a mobile phone may be used instead of the computer organization. In this embodiment, each client device 10 includes a control unit 11, a keyboard 12, a storage unit 13, a communication unit 14, a scanner 15, a display unit 16, and the like as shown in FIG. Matters relating to the abnormality occurrence information are notified through the display unit 16.

  The bill serial number reading means includes a scanner 15 for reading the serial number of the bill and an OCR. In this embodiment, the bill serial number reading means also includes a keyboard 12 so that the bill serial number can be manually input. In a place where a large number of banknote serial numbers are read, such as in a bank, etc., with a dedicated machine for reading banknote serial numbers (for example, an automatic reader that automatically transports banknotes to a reader and reads serial numbers at high speed) You may comprise a bill serial number reading means.

  In addition, in ATM, although authenticity determination is performed when counting a banknote, it is good also as a system which reads a serial number in the process. In a store or the like, the client device 10 may be incorporated in a register, and a bill serial number may be read using the device 10. In the case of an individual, a method of reading an image of a banknote serial number using a scanner, transmitting the image data to the server device 20, and converting the image data into digital data (alphanumeric) by the server device 20 is used. It may be adopted.

  In addition, when handling a large amount of banknotes, the serial number is read and bundled, and a number is attached to the wrapping and handled in a lump. In the case of breaking the band seal, it is assumed that the bank note serial number management center is notified of the fact that the band seal is to be broken, or the band seal is broken when the bank note is read for the serial number.

  The information transmission unit having the above configuration is configured to temporarily store the banknote serial number read by the banknote serial number reading unit and then transmit it to the server device 20 as it is or after encryption or compression. In addition to the serial number of the banknote, the data sent by the information transmission unit includes the identification number unique to the contractor, the password of the contractor, the date and time of payment, requirements (acceptance, withdrawal, verification, inquiry, etc.), recipient, and withdrawal There is a point etc.

  The server device 20 includes a paper sheet registration unit, a paper sheet registration control unit, a stolen paper sheet registration unit, a theft paper sheet control unit, and an abnormality occurrence determination unit. It records, verifies, and manages the serial numbers of banknotes sent. In this embodiment, a computer organization is used.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the server device 20 includes a control unit 21, a keyboard 22, a communication unit 23, a storage unit 24, a display unit 27, and the like. The server device 20 has a storage capacity of about 300 gigabytes. This is currently on the market if the bank note number 6 × 10 = 60 bits, the contractor identification number 30 bits, the password 10 bits, the deposit date and time, and other 28 bits 128 bits = 16 bytes as a unit. This is because it is possible to cope with a storage capacity of 300 gigabytes with 16 billion banknotes.

  Here, the paper sheet registration unit (25) is means for storing the serial number of the banknote in association with the identification number or the like, and is configured using a partial area of the storage unit 24. In this paper sheet registration unit 25, (b) a method in which the serial number is used as an address and the identification number of the input client device 10 and other items related to the contractor are stored as data; The serial number or the like is recorded by any one of a method of storing the serial number and the like as data and (c) a method of storing the serial number and the identification number in a list. It is checked whether the serial number etc. was registered twice in any system. Further, the recording period is a fixed time (for example, one week) or until the next regular registration.

  When receiving the serial number of the paper sheet from each client device 10, the paper sheet registration control unit registers the serial number in association with the identification number in the paper sheet registration unit 25, and deletes the specific serial number. When a command is received, it is means for deleting the corresponding serial number from the paper sheet registration unit 25, and is configured using a partial function of the control unit 21.

  The theft paper sheet registration unit (26) is means for storing the theft paper sheet serial number in association with an identification number or the like, and is configured using a partial area of the storage unit 24. Any one of the above (a) to (c) is applied mutatis mutandis.

  When the theft paper sheet control unit receives the theft paper sheet serial number, the theft paper sheet control unit deletes the corresponding serial number of the paper sheet registration unit 25 and associates the serial number with the identification number to store the theft paper sheet registration unit. 26, and is configured by using a partial function of the control unit 21.

  The abnormality occurrence determination unit checks the first abnormality when there is a match that matches all the serial numbers registered in the paper sheet registration unit 25 each time a paper sheet serial number is received. If there is a match between the occurrence information and all the serial numbers of the theft paper sheet registration unit 26, the second abnormality occurrence information is transmitted to the client device 10, respectively. It is configured using some functions of the control unit 21. In this embodiment, when the second abnormality occurrence information is transmitted to the corresponding client device 10, the serial number is disclosed so that when a banknote that has been stolen is used, recording or notification can be performed. It is supposed to be prepared.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  (When the contractor is a financial institution such as a company or a bank) At the stage of depositing / dispensing banknotes, the client apparatus 10 is used to transmit the banknote serial number to the server apparatus 20.

  (A) In the case of depositing In the case of depositing, the serial number of the accepted banknote is transmitted to the server device 20 using the client device 10. Upon receiving the banknote serial number, the server device 20 (specifically, the paper sheet registration control unit) registers the serial number in the paper sheet registration unit 25 in association with the identification number of the client device 10. At this time, each time the banknote serial number is received, the abnormality occurrence determination unit of the server device 20 collates with all the serial numbers already registered in the paper sheet registration unit 25 to match. In some cases, the first abnormality occurrence information is transmitted to the client device 10. Also, all the serial numbers in the theft paper sheet registration unit 26 are collated, and if there is a match, the second abnormality occurrence information is transmitted to the client device 10. In addition, the police will be reported.

  When the client device 10 receives the first and second abnormality occurrence information, for example, the display unit 16 displays “reception refusal” or displays that the theft is registered. If it occurs at an ATM, use a security camera or store the corresponding banknote so that a fingerprint can be taken. In addition, when it is displayed that the theft is registered, the display unit 16 may display that the theft registration is canceled at the banknote serial number management center or the center branch. The theft registration is canceled on the condition that the identity of the banknote owner is confirmed and the banknote acquisition route is made clear.

  (B) When paying out When paying out (including transportation and storage), the serial number of the banknote to be paid out is transmitted to the server device 20. The server device 20 records that the banknote with the received serial number has been paid out from a bank or the like, and deletes the record after a certain period (for example, one week). When a notice that the dispensed banknote has been stolen is received (for example, when the stolen paper sheet serial number transmitted from the client device 10 is received), the corresponding serial number of the paper sheet registration unit 25 And the serial number is associated with the identification number and registered in the theft paper sheet registration unit 26. In addition, the relevant serial number will be disclosed using news media or the Internet as information on criminal investigations. In addition, when the server apparatus 20 receives a serial number that matches the serial number registered in the theft paper sheet registration unit 26, the server apparatus 20 notifies the sender and calls attention or recommends refusal to use.

  (C) In case of theft When the contractor is stolen, the contractor transmits the stolen paper sheet serial number from the client device 10 to the server device 20. When the theft paper sheet control unit of the server device 20 receives the theft paper sheet serial number, it deletes the corresponding serial number from the paper sheet registration unit 25 and associates the serial number with the identification number to obtain the stolen paper sheet. Register in the registration unit 26. If the contractor reports the theft to the banknote serial number management center by telephone or the like, the center confirms the serial number of the stolen banknote and associates the serial number with the identification number of the server device 20. It is also possible to take measures to register in the theft paper sheet registration unit 26.

  (When the contractor is an individual) The same processing as in the case of the bank described above is performed. That is, in the case of depositing, the banknote serial number obtained is read one by one using the banknote serial number reading means (scanner, OCR, etc.) of the client device 10 and then stored in a safe or the like. The server device 20 stores the serial number, compares it with an already registered serial number to check for duplication (banknote authenticity), and compares it with a theft record to check for theft.

  In the case of payment, the serial number of the bill to be paid is transmitted to the server device 20. The server device 20 records that the banknote with the serial number has been paid out from the individual, and deletes the record. Thereby, since the serial number of the banknote which remains at an individual's hand is specified, when it is stolen, it becomes easy to specify a banknote.

  Thus, the server device 20 and the plurality of client devices 10 are communicably connected via the communication line 30, and each time the server device 20 receives a banknote serial number from each client device 10, the registered serial number is registered. If it matches with the serial number registered as a stolen paper sheet, it is determined that the banknote is a stolen banknote, and the client device 10 determines that the banknote is a stolen banknote. Since it is set as the structure which transmits abnormality occurrence information, it is useful for determination whether it is a forged banknote, and also has the effect of deterring theft while facilitating the discovery of the stolen banknote.

  Therefore, for the contractor, the property can be protected because it has a theft deterrent effect, and secondary damage (injuries by criminals, damage to houses, etc.) can be suppressed. In addition, there is a higher probability that damage will be compensated in the event of theft. In addition, a reduction in non-life insurance rates can be expected due to the reduced risk of theft. From the perspective of society as a whole, it helps to stabilize the national economy.

  In addition, since the server device 20 and the police are connected via a communication line and the abnormality occurrence information is also reported to the police, the crime related to the banknote can be more reliably solved.

  Further, since the communication line is formed from any one of the Internet line, the wired telecommunication line, the optical communication line, and the satellite communication line, the application range can be further expanded.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the application object of this invention was made into the banknote, it is not limited to this, It can apply also to securities with a serial number.
