Description

The present invention uses a thermal printer of a handy terminal used for meter reading of gas, water, electric power, etc., so that it is possible to perform a highly accurate printing such as a postal transfer payment payment request. This relates to a handy terminal with a different eye mark detection function.

Recently, a handy terminal using a thermal printer has been used for meter reading of gas, water, and electric power meters. This handy terminal reads the usage amount of gas, water, electric power, etc., prints the result as a notification form at the site, separates the printed result and passes it to the user.
In this case, for users who have not made a contract for automatic withdrawal of usage charges, payment is made to charge the usage charges to the users again from the gas, water, power, etc. supplier based on the data of the meter reading. The present situation is that a notice or a payment slip is sent and the user pays a fee. The administrative procedure for sending a payment notice or a payment request to a user who does not have an automatic withdrawal contract requires a lot of time and money. It has become one.

JP 06-218997 A, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-9728, JP 06-99638 A, JP 05-147310 A

In order to solve these problems, for users who have not made a contract for automatic withdrawal of usage fees, meter readings are made when the amount of gas, water, power, etc. used is measured and the results are printed on-site. It is desirable to be able to print an invoice for a usage fee attached with a payment form filled with a payment fee together with a result notification form. At present, automatic reading processing using OCR based on image processing is becoming widespread in the transfer of charges for gas, water, electricity, etc., and postal transfer private standards that are the standard for postal transfer payment documents are also used for postal transfers. Has been created.
7, FIG. 8, and FIG. 9 show the positional relationship standard between the payment handling slip and the payment slip of the postal transfer private standard. The postal transfer payment slip consists of a first payment handling slip consisting of an account number column, an amount column, and a subscriber name column as shown in FIG. 7, and a second transfer slip / receipt as shown in FIG. It consists of a payment slip of a vote, and has a structure in which a perforation is inserted between the payment handling slip and the payment slip, and the positional relationship is strictly defined as shown in FIG. That is, the perforation on the left side of the payment handling slip must be within 4 mm ± 0.3 mm from the vertical line on the left side of the account number column, as shown in FIG. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 9, the position of the printing position alignment frame of the second payout slip should be within 54.26 ± 1 mm from the perforation on the right side of the account number.

The postal transfer payment slip is a series of 2-vote postal transfer payment slips and is premised on data processing by the OCR reader, so that the positional relationship between the two payout slips is required to be accurate. For this purpose, print a specified series of two-payment postal transfer payment format in advance on OCR paper, etc., and write the data in that format by hand, or write it by thermal transfer, ink jet, or laser recording. Thus, the input process is performed. In contrast, the handy terminal thermal printer that prints the results of meter readings of gas, water, electricity, etc., as a notification slip, has poor print launch accuracy, and is based on postal transfer private-manufactured standard dimensional accuracy. It is very difficult to realize.
It is required to solve such a problem and to create a payment form that satisfies the standard of the size of the transfer form of the private transfer standard using a thermal printer such as a handy terminal.

The present invention provides a handy terminal with a function for detecting a number of different eyemarks in order to create a series of two-vote postal transfer payments using a thermal printer at the handy terminal. Using the thermal printer paper provided with the eye mark for the first vote and the eye mark for the second vote, the print position of the first vote is determined by the eye mark for the first vote, and printing is performed. By creating a handy terminal with the function of detecting the number of different eyemarks, the printing position of the second vote is determined by the eye mark for the vote, and the transfer is made according to the postal transfer private standard. This makes it possible to create payment documents that satisfy the dimensional accuracy standards.

The present invention provides a handy terminal with a function for detecting a number of different eyemarks in order to create a series of two-vote postal transfer payments using a thermal printer at the handy terminal. Using the thermal printer paper provided with the eye mark for the first vote and the eye mark for the second vote, the print position of the first vote is determined by the eye mark for the first vote, and printing is performed. Postage transfer privately made payment form by realizing a handy terminal with the function of detecting the number of different eyemarks, in which the print position of the second vote is determined by the eye mark for the vote. A payment form that satisfies the dimensional accuracy standards can be created.
Therefore, the user can immediately perform the payment procedure by bringing the payment form to the post office. In addition, since electricity, gas, water, and other suppliers do not need to send invoices with transfer papers to users who do not have an account transfer contract, they can collect funds very efficiently. It becomes possible to do business. As described above, by selecting and printing an arbitrary print format of a necessary format according to the fee payment form of the user, it is possible to perform an efficient meter reading operation with high added value.

The handy terminal with the function of detecting a number of different eye marks according to the present invention is not only a printout of the meter reading result, but also a payment form showing a charge for usage fee to a user who has not made an account transfer contract In addition, prints of different patterns such as receipts can be selectively printed and delivered. For this purpose, the handy terminal is not only equipped with a notification form for the meter reading results, but also a format for printing different patterns such as payment papers and receipts indicating usage charges, and is prepared in advance. A necessary format is selected based on the user's selection or preset user's data, and the meter reading result data is printed in the selected format.
In this case, the payment slip delivered to the user needs to be printed with high accuracy in which the print position is accurately regulated so as to be compatible with data processing by the OCR reader. For example, as for the postal transfer private payment card, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the positional relationship of each vote of a series of two-payment postal transfer payment forms is strictly defined.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the structure of a printer paper used for printing a postal transfer dedicated payment form or the like by a thermal printer of a handy terminal having a function of detecting a number of different eye marks according to the present invention. In FIG. 4, (a) shows the front surface of the printer paper for the thermal printer on which the postal transfer payment slip is printed, and (b) shows the eye mark on the back surface.
In FIG. 4A, P1 is an area where the first vote of the postal transfer dedicated payment document is printed, and P2 is an area where the second vote of the postal transfer dedicated payment document is printed. A print pattern for a single postal transfer payment form is formed by the areas P1 and P2. M is a perforation that is placed at the boundary of each printed pattern in order to make it easy to separate the printed postal transfer payment slip. In order to make it easy to separate the area P1 where the first vote data is printed and the area P2 where the second vote data is printed on the printed postal transfer payment document m, A perforation inserted between P2.

In FIG. 4B, dt1 and dt2 are eye marks for print positioning. The eye marks dt1 and dt2 are eye marks for positioning the area P1 where the first vote data is printed and the area P2 where the second vote data is printed. dt3 is an eye mark used for cueing a sheet for printing a postal transfer dedicated payment form and a notice sheet of meter reading results of an integrating meter indicating the amount of use of gas, water, electric power and the like. The thermal printer of the handy terminal sends out the paper when printing the format and data of the postal transfer dedicated payment form, and prints when the eye mark for print positioning at dt1 in FIG. 4B is detected. The paper is stopped, the print positioning of the area P1 where the data of the first vote is printed is performed, and the format and data are printed simultaneously. After printing the area P1, when the thermal printer detects an eye mark for dt2 print positioning in FIG. 4B, the thermal printer stops the printing paper and performs print positioning in the area P2 where the data of the second vote is printed. Print the format and data at the same time. After printing the area P2, when the thermal printer detects the dt3 eye mark in FIG. 4B, the thermal printer stops the printing paper and positions the head for printing the next print pattern.

In this way, the print position of the first vote is determined by the eye mark dt1 for positioning the first vote of the payment slip, and the eye mark dt1 for positioning the second vote of the payment slip is set immediately after the perforation m. In addition, by detecting this eye mark dt2, the print position can be improved by determining the print position of the second vote.
Further, in order to cue the next print, an eye mark dt3 is provided at a position after the payment form to prepare for the next print. The eye marks dt1, dt2, and dt3 are configured such that the function of the mark of the handy terminal can be identified by changing the width thereof. Specifically, the eye mark dt1 has a width of 2 mm ± 0.1, the eye mark dt2 has a width of 5 mm ± 0.1, and the eye mark dt3 has a width of 3 mm ± 0.1. Can be identified.
The accuracy of the position of the postal transfer payment slip printed by the thermal printer of the handy terminal is also affected by the detection accuracy of the eye mark sensor of the thermal printer.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship between the signal of the eye mark sensor and the slice level. In FIG. 5, O1, O2, and O3 indicate detection signals of the eye mark sensor, and SL indicates a slice level of the signal. As indicated by O1, O2, and O3 in FIG. 5, the output level of the detection signal of the eye mark sensor varies depending on environmental conditions. For this reason, in the detection of an eye mark by the conventional level slicing method in which such a detection signal whose level varies is detected at a constant slice level SL, the detection position varies due to a change in the output level of the detection signal of the eye mark sensor. For this reason, the accurate position cannot be detected.
For this reason, the eye mark detection method used for the handy terminal having the function of detecting the number of different eye marks according to the present invention is such that the middle of the width of the eye mark is set as the detection position. Specifically, the period during which the output level of the detection signal of the eye mark sensor exceeds the slice level SL (the period during which the eye mark is ON, that is, the width of the eye mark) is counted, and half of the period is set as the detection position. Thus, even if the output level of the detection signal of the eye mark sensor changes, a constant position can always be detected. At the same time, the functions of the eye marks dt1, dt2, and dt3 shown in FIG. 4 can be identified by measuring the width of the eye mark.

The operation of the handy terminal having the function of detecting a number of different eye marks according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the handy terminal that uses thermal printer paper with the repetitive number of eye marks of the present invention, a different pattern of invoices for usage charges with a postal transfer payment payment attached at the same time as printing of a notice slip informing the result of meter reading Can be printed selectively.
For this purpose, the handy terminal not only prints the meter reading results, but also prepares a program format for printing different patterns such as invoices for usage charges with postal transfer payments attached. Depending on the terminal user's selection or based on preset user data, the required format is selected, and the meter reading result data is inserted into the selected format and printed. . FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a preparation operation of a handy terminal having a function of detecting multiple different eye marks according to the present invention. As a preparatory work for using the handy terminal, data of the user in the meter reading area in charge of the user of the handy terminal is downloaded from the host computer of the supply company of gas, water, electric power, etc. to the memory of the handy terminal.

In this case, conventionally, only the withdrawal data from the bank account up to the previous month was downloaded, and the receipt of the withdrawal was printed and delivered to the user who withdrew from the bank account along with the meter reading result. It was.
In the handy terminal of the present invention, the data downloaded from the host computer is
1. User payment method (whether or not you have a withdrawal account from a bank account)
2. User data is downloaded, such as whether there is an unpaid fee for the payment of the user's fee, and how many months have not been paid.
For this purpose, handy terminal data is extracted from the original data of the host computer. Handy terminal data is extracted from the host computer's original meter reading schedule data, payment prompting data, and payment slip basic data databases only from the meter reading area users in charge of handy terminal users. The extracted data is subjected to data synthesis processing, and meter reading prospective person data is created.

This meter reading planner data is individually created by the host computer for each meter reading area in charge of the user of each handy terminal.
The planned meter reading data created by the host computer is arranged in the order of meter reading and downloaded to the handy terminal. Thereby, the preparation work for the handy terminal is completed, and the preparation for starting the meter reading process work is completed.
FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of the meter reading operation and receipt / invoicing operation of the handy terminal of the present invention. When preparations for starting the meter reading processing work are completed, the meter reading operator starts the meter reading work in his own area with the handy terminal set in the state of the meter reading processing work starting. At the time of meter reading, the handy terminal determines whether or not meter reading work needs to be executed based on data input to each user and notifies the meter reading operator. For a user who determines that the handy terminal needs to perform meter reading work, the meter reading operator performs meter reading and inputs the result to the handy terminal.

After inputting the result of meter reading, the meter reading operator presses the start button for starting printing on the handy terminal. When the print start button is pressed, the printer receives a status request command and checks whether the printer is ready for printing. If printing is possible, the printer sends a printable status response and forms overlay. Perform restoration transmission. The handy terminal performs various calculation processes for obtaining data necessary for printing on the result of meter reading in response to the printable status response transmission and the form overlay restoration transmission. When the calculation process is completed, the handy terminal detects the payment form of the user. The detection of the payment form is to detect how the user pays the fee, that is, whether the user has a contract for automatic withdrawal from the bank account. When the payment form is detected, the handy terminal edits print information corresponding to the payment form.

When the print information is edited, the handy terminal selects an appropriate layout for printing the print information. In selecting an appropriate layout, the print format is set in accordance with the payment method of the user's fee. Since the print format differs depending on the payment form, a print format that matches the payment form of the user's fee is selected. Since the user's fee payment method data is input in advance in the handy terminal memory, the handy terminal checks the user's fee payment method and automatically sets the print format type. When the editing of the print information and the selection of the suitable layout are finished, the handy terminal supplies the print information and the information of the suitable layout simultaneously to the printer as print issuance data, and the printer prepares for printing by editing these two pieces of information. As a result of the editing, it is possible to obtain a print format of information that is a combination of the meter reading result data in a format that matches the payment method of the user's fee.

FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of the printing operation of the output information of the handy terminal of the present invention. When the user has an account transfer contract, the fee is automatically withdrawn from the bank account and there is no need to perform the fee payment procedure on its own, so there is no need to issue a payment slip. Since the output information only needs to know the result of the meter reading, it is not necessary to perform printing in which the print position is accurately regulated. Therefore, high-precision printing is not performed (NO), and printing is performed by a conventional method. In this case, there is no problem even if the position of the notification slip is slightly shifted, and the print position is detected by detecting the dt3 eye mark in FIG. Printing is performed at the position where the feeding is performed.
After the printing of the notice sheet is completed, the cueing eye mark IM3 for the next printing is detected. If IM3 is detected, it is determined that the printing has been normally performed, and the next meter reading is performed. Cue for printing the result and finish the work.

If IM3 is not detected, it is determined that the printing has been performed beyond the designated length field, and the printing operation is performed again.
It is necessary to pay the fee of the user who does not make the account transfer contract by himself. For this purpose, the handy terminal is configured to print a postal transfer dedicated payment form, etc., after printing the notice slip, and a print format for information in which the postal transfer dedicated payment form is set is prepared. . The payment slip of the postal transfer dedicated payment form is selected to perform high-precision printing (YES), in which high-precision printing is performed with the print position accurately regulated so that data processing by the OCR reader can be handled.
High-precision printing is performed by using two eye marks dt1 and dt2 in FIG. 1B in order to correct the positional accuracy of the printer.

FIG. 6 shows the data state of the postal transfer dedicated payment form on the printer memory map. The data of the first vote P1 of the postal transfer dedicated payment form shown in FIG. 4A is arranged from the first dot to 960 dots in the memory. The data of the second vote P2 of the postal transfer dedicated payment form shown in FIG. 4A is arranged from the 969th dot to the 1408th dot in the memory, and the data of the first vote P1 and the data of the second vote P2 Between these, a spare area of 8 dots from the 961st dot to 968 dots (1 mm in print pitch) is provided. This spare area is used for adjusting the print start position of the data of the second vote P2. When the handy terminal prints the postal transfer payment slip, the paper is sent and when the handy terminal detects the eye mark for dt1 print positioning in FIG. The print positioning of the area P1 where the data of the first vote is printed is performed, and the format and data set from the first dot to 960 dots on the memory map of FIG. 6 are printed simultaneously.

If the eye mark for dt1 print positioning in FIG. 4B is not detected (NG), it is determined that the position of the cue is not correct, and printing of the data for the first vote is stopped. Then, the eye mark of dt3 in FIG. 4B is detected and the sheet is still fed, and the next print is cued. After the printing of the area P1, when the handy terminal detects an eye mark for dt2 print positioning in FIG. 4B, the printing paper is stopped and the printing of the area P2 in which the data of the second vote is printed. Perform positioning. In this case, the print start position of the data of the second vote P2 is adjusted using the spare area on the memory map according to the result of printing the data of the first vote.
Note that if the first vote data is printed beyond the eye mark for dt2 print positioning in FIG. 4B, dt2 is not detected, so the second vote data is printed. Is canceled (NG), the eye mark dt3 in FIG. 4B is detected, the sheet is still fed, and the next print is cued.

When the print start position of the second vote P2 is determined, the format and data set from the 969th dot to the 1408th dot on the memory map of FIG. 6 are simultaneously printed. In this way, by using the two eye marks dt1 and dt2, the payout paper in which the first and second votes of the postal transfer dedicated payment form are printed at the positions meeting the standard is printed out. can do. When the printing of the second vote is finished, the eye mark dt3 in FIG. 4B is detected and the paper is still sent, and the next print is cued.
When the second vote print is printed beyond the eye mark for cueing dt3 in FIG. 4B, dt3 is not detected and the second vote data is printed normally. It is determined that it has not been performed, and printing is restarted from the beginning. When the user has selected to pay from a payee other than the post office, the handy terminal sets the payout slip in a payment format that can be used at a bank or a convenience store, and performs high-precision printing. The meter reading operation of one user is completed by the above operation. When the meter reading operation of one user is completed, the handy terminal displays the data of the next user and causes the meter reading operator to perform the meter reading operation of the next user. In this way, the user's meter reading is sequentially performed, and when all the user's meter reading operations input to the memory of the handy terminal are completed, the meter reading operation for that day is completed.

FIG. 10 shows a postal transfer dedicated payment form (example) created by a handy terminal having a function of detecting multiple different eye marks according to the present invention and a conventional thermal printer using one eye mark. It shows a comparison of accuracy with the postal transfer payment slip (comparative example) created by. As is apparent from FIG. 10, even if a thermal printer having the same positioning accuracy is used, it is possible to perform printing that sufficiently satisfies the standard of the postal transfer payment form according to the present invention. According to the present invention, for users who have not made a contract for account transfer, the amount of data required for payment is posted on the postal transfer dedicated payment form together with a notice slip that prints the usage amount of the meter reading result and the usage fee for this. It becomes possible to issue a combined print format of the printed payment paper. Users who have received a postal payment payment slip printed with the data required for payment along with the notification slip can immediately carry out the payment procedure by bringing the postal payment payment slip to the post office. .
In addition, since electricity, gas, water, and other suppliers do not need to send invoices with transfer papers to users who do not have an account transfer contract, they can collect funds very efficiently. It becomes possible to do business.
