Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic transaction apparatus in a bank or the like, and more particularly to data writing and reading of a magnetic stripe portion of a bankbook.

  In recent years, there has been a demand for multifunctional automatic cash handling equipment (ATM). One of them is a bankbook handling device that supports double-stripe bankbooks. The double-strip passbook has a magnetic stripe A2 on the spine cover 1 in the general passbook shown in Fig. 1, but also has a magnetic stripe B4 on the cover 3 as shown in Fig. 2, and the insertion direction of the passbook is reversed. It is a passbook that can be used.

  That is, the bankbook has the magnetic stripe A2 at a position rotated 180 degrees around the center of the bankbook with the magnetic stripe A2 opened. Hereinafter, the magnetic stripe A2 is referred to as the forward rotation side, and the magnetic stripe B4 is referred to as the reverse side in the text. A passbook handling device corresponding to the double stripe passbook is a passbook handling device capable of processing both the magnetic stripes A2 and B4 without taking in and out the passbook.

  The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine capable of processing a magnetic stripe at a higher speed in a bankbook handling apparatus that processes magnetic data while conveying a bankbook, among bankbook handling apparatuses compatible with the double stripe bankbook. As ATM which handles a double stripe passbook, there exists a thing of Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2006-146964 (patent document 1).

JP 2006-146964 A

  When writing magnetic data to the magnetic stripe on the reverse side, the passbook is reciprocated on the magnetic recording head more frequently than when writing magnetic data to the magnetic stripe on the reverse side. The processing time may be longer than when writing magnetic data. An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art and to provide a passbook handling device corresponding to a double stripe passbook that can process a magnetic stripe at a higher speed.

  When writing magnetic data to the magnetic stripe on the reverse side, read the magnetic data in the direction opposite to the normal direction with respect to the format of the magnetic data, and the same direction as when writing magnetic data to the magnetic stripe on the normal side By transferring the passbook and writing the magnetic data in the magnetic stripe on the reverse side, the passbook transfer distance necessary for writing the magnetic stripe data and the number of inversions in the passbook transfer direction are reduced.

  According to the present invention, the processing speed can be improved because the distance for carrying the bankbook is shortened during magnetic data processing on the reverse side. In addition, since the distance for transferring the passbook is shortened and the number of times the passbook is reversed is reduced, the risk associated with the passbook transfer such as a passbook jam can be reduced. Furthermore, since the magnetic recording head has a fixed magnetic data writing direction, the conventional method requires that the reverse magnetic recording head be mounted in the opposite direction to the forward magnetic recording head. Mounting in the same direction is possible, and another passbook having a magnetic stripe on the reverse side at the position of the magnetic recording head on the reverse side can be handled.

It is a figure which shows the bankbook of a general magnetic stripe. It is the schematic of a double stripe passbook. It is a figure of ATM in the 1st example of the present invention. It is a figure explaining the writing direction of the magnetic data in 1st Example of this invention.

  FIG. 3 shows the structure of a passbook handling device (ATM) corresponding to the double stripe passbook in the first embodiment of the present invention, and is a view of the passbook transport path as seen from above. Some components of the apparatus not directly related to the present invention are omitted. A series of operations described below is executed by an ATM control unit (not shown).

  The passbook taken in from the passbook insertion port 5 moves along the passbook transport path 6 by a transport roller (not shown) and stops at the reference stop position 7. On the passbook transport path 6, there are a magnetic recording head A8 that performs magnetic data processing on the magnetic stripe A2 and a magnetic recording head B9 that performs magnetic data processing on the magnetic stripe B4. Stop on.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the magnetic stripe data has a direction, and the magnetic data is written from the beginning 10 to the end 11. Therefore, when processing a double stripe passbook in the passbook handling device, when writing data to the magnetic stripe B4, move the passbook from the reference stop position 7 toward the magnetic recording head as shown in FIG. When the magnetic stripe B4 passes through the magnetic recording head B9 as shown in 5-2, the carrying direction of the passbook is reversed and the magnetic stripe B4 passes over the magnetic recording head B9 again as shown in FIG. 5-3. After confirming whether the magnetic data was correctly written by reversing the direction of the passbook as shown in Fig. 5-4, reverse the direction of carrying the passbook again as shown in Fig. 5-5 Return to the reference stop position 7.

  Some types of bankbooks write magnetic data from the end code 11 to the first code 10. In this case, the reverse side also writes magnetic data from the end code 11 to the first code 10. That is, writing is performed in the same direction on the forward side and the reverse side with respect to the format of the magnetic data. For this reason, when the magnetic data is written on the forward rotation side and when the magnetic data is written on the reverse rotation side, the passbook transport direction is reversed.

  FIG. 6 shows an ATM structure in the second embodiment of the present invention.

The magnetic recording head A8 in FIG. 6 performs processing of the magnetic stripe A2, and the magnetic recording head B9 performs processing of the magnetic stripe B4. The magnetic recording head B9 can write magnetic data in the direction opposite to the normal rotation side with respect to the format of the magnetic data by the data write / inversion device 12. (Example: When the normal rotation side first writes from the code 10 to the end code 11, the reverse side writes magnetic data from the end code 11 to the start code 10.)
The bankbook is taken in from the bankbook insertion slot 5, moves along the bankbook transport path 6, and stops at the bankbook reference stop position 7 after reading the magnetic data of the magnetic stripe A2 by the magnetic recording head A8. The passbook stops at the reference stop position 7 after the magnetic data processing is completed.

Next, the movement when magnetic data is written to the magnetic stripe B4 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8-1, the passbook is moved in the direction of the magnetic recording head from the reference stop position 7, and when the magnetic stripe B4 passes through the magnetic recording head B9 as shown in FIG. The magnetic data is written from the end code 11 to the start code 10. Next, as shown in FIG. 8-3, the conveyance direction of the bankbook is reversed to check whether the magnetic data is correctly written, and the bankbook is returned to the reference stop position 7 as it is.

  In the configuration described in the first embodiment, the passbook reciprocates twice from the start to the end of the magnetic stripe processing, but in the present invention, the processing can be completed in one reciprocation.
