Description

  The present invention relates to a writing machine that is installed in a store of a financial institution such as a bank and records transaction contents for a passbook issued to an opened account.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, financial institutions such as banks have issued a passbook that records transaction details for an established account. A financial institution has installed a writing machine for writing (printing) transaction contents in a passbook at an automatic machine corner or a lobby in a store. A conventional bookkeeping machine has a passbook insertion slot on the front of the main body. The user inserts the passbook to be recorded into the passbook insertion slot. The bookkeeping machine takes this passbook into the main body and transports it along the passbook transport path formed inside. The bookkeeping machine reads the account number recorded with the magnetic data on the magnetic stripe attached to the bankbook transported along the bankbook transport path, and acquires the transaction details of the unbooked from the host device. Then, the bookkeeping machine records the transaction content acquired from the host device in the bankbook transported along the bankbook transport path. The bookkeeping machine discharges the bankbook in which the transaction contents are booked to the book entry slot and returns it to the user. In this way, the user can make a book entry into the passbook simply by inserting the passbook into the passbook insertion slot.

  In addition, considering the operability of users who have multiple passbooks to be booked, a batch bookkeeping cassette that can set multiple passbooks at a time is provided, and the passbooks set in this batch bookkeeping cassette are passed through by one passbook A bookkeeping machine has been proposed in which transaction contents are written for each bankbook that has been fed out and conveyed to a discharge unit (see Patent Document 1). The recorded passbook is collected in the discharge section.

JP 2009-134599 A

  However, the bookkeeping machine described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 improves the operability of the user who has a plurality of passbooks to be booked, but compared with the bookkeeping machine that inserts the passbook to be written into the passbook insertion slot. Thus, the operability of a user who has one passbook to be recorded is reduced.

  Further, in any of the above-described bookkeeping machines, a user who has a plurality of bankbooks to book may occupy the bookkeeping machine for a long time. In this case, other users wait while there are occupied users. In particular, a user who has only one passbook to book may have a waiting time several times longer than the time for actually using the bookkeeping machine. There were many users who were dissatisfied with this, and there was also a problem that the service for the users was not good.

  The object of the present invention is not to deteriorate the operability even if there are one or more passbooks to be booked, and other uses by a user who has multiple passbooks to be booked. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bookkeeping machine that can suppress an increase in the waiting time of the user and improve the service for the user.

  The bookkeeping machine of the present invention is configured as follows in order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object.

  The first bookkeeping processing means transports the passbook inserted into the first passbook insertion slot for inserting the passbook one by one along the book feed path, records the transaction contents, and then the first passbook insertion slot. The process to discharge to. Therefore, a user who has only one passbook to be booked can insert the passbook into the first passbook insertion slot to make a book entry into the passbook.

  Further, the second bookkeeping processing means feeds one passbook set in a passbook set port where a plurality of passbooks can be set at a time, conveys the passbook along the passbook transport path, records the transaction contents, and then passes the passbook. Discharge to the outlet. The batch entry processing means repeats the second entry processing means to process a plurality of passbooks set in the passbook set port. Therefore, a user who has a plurality of passbooks to be booked can set the passbooks in each passbook by simply setting them in the passbook set port.

  Further, the interrupt means confirms whether or not the passbook is inserted into the first passbook insertion slot each time the second bookkeeping processing means completes the book entry for the passbook set in the passbook set slot. If a passbook is inserted into one passbook insertion slot, the first bookkeeping processing means is executed by interruption. That is, if a passbook is inserted into the first passbook insertion slot while processing a plurality of passbooks set in the passbook set slot, the book entry for the passbook is processed first. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an increase in the waiting time of a user who has a plurality of passbooks to occupy a bookkeeping machine for a long time and a single passbook to be booked. Therefore, the service for users can be improved.

  For users who have multiple passbooks to be booked, the time taken to complete all the passbooks is delayed by the interruption of the first bookkeeping processing means described above. Compared to the time required, it is a short time. For this reason, many users who have multiple passbooks to book do not feel dissatisfied with the interruption of the first bookkeeping processing means.

  In addition, when the passbook is set at the passbook set port, the user specifying information for specifying the input user is stored in the user specifying information storage means. Then, when the passbook is set in the passbook set port, the door provided at the passbook discharge port is locked, and after the book entry for all the passbooks set this time is completed, it is stored in the user identification information storage means When the user identification information is input, a configuration for unlocking the door provided at the passbook outlet may be added.

  Furthermore, the locking and unlocking of the door provided at the passbook set port may be controlled in synchronization with the locking and unlocking of the door provided at the passbook discharge port.

  In this way, a user who has multiple passbooks to be booked does not carry away the passbook to others even if he / she is away from the main body while the passbook is being booked. In other words, a user who has multiple passbooks to be booked must leave the bookkeeping machine while sitting on these passbooks, sit on a chair installed in the lobby, etc. Can wait for it to complete.

  In addition, the passbook inserted into the second passbook insertion slot for inserting the passbook one by one is transported along the passbook transport path, and after the transaction contents are recorded, the second passbook is inserted into the second passbook insertion slot. Three bookkeeping processing means may be provided. By providing one of the first passbook insertion port and the second passbook insertion port on the front side of the device main body and the other on the back side of the device main body, it can be installed at a financial institution's window, etc. There may also be a staff member that can be used.

  The interrupt means also checks whether or not a passbook is inserted in the second passbook insertion slot each time the second bookkeeping processing means completes the book entry for the passbook set in the passbook set slot. If the bankbook is inserted in the bankbook insertion slot, the third bookkeeping processing means may be executed by interruption.

  Furthermore, when a new bankbook issuance instruction is received from the host device, one unused bankbook stored in the cartridge may be fed out and recorded, and then discharged to the second bankbook insertion slot. .

  According to the present invention, operability is not deteriorated regardless of whether one passbook or a plurality of passbooks are recorded. Moreover, since the increase in waiting time of other users can be suppressed by a user who has a plurality of passbooks to be booked, the service for the users can be improved.

That is, the lock unit 8 controls the locking and unlocking of the doors 42a and 43a. The communication unit 9 communicates with a host device or the like installed at a financial institution center.

  The host device stores a transaction history of transactions for each opened account. Further, the host device stores the transaction history of each account in a format in which it is possible to determine whether the transaction content has not been recorded in the passbook or whether the transaction content has already been recorded in the passbook.

  A bookkeeping process in which the bookkeeping machine 1 writes the transaction contents in a passbook will be described.

  First, a bookkeeping process for a passbook inserted into the passbook insertion port 41 will be described. In the bookkeeping machine 1, the passbook transport unit 4 transports the passbook inserted into the passbook insertion port 41 to the passbook processing unit 3 along the passbook transport path 40. The passbook processing unit 3 reads data such as an account number recorded on the magnetic stripe attached to the back cover of the passbook that is being transported along the passbook transport path 40 by the magnetic data processing unit 32. The bookkeeping machine 1 communicates with the host device in the communication unit 9 and acquires the transaction content of the account with the account number read this time for each transaction whose transaction content is unrecorded. In addition, the optical reading unit 33 reads the barcode indicating the page number printed on the page in which the passbook is opened, detects the last booked line in which the transaction contents are booked, and the like. Determine the starting line.

  The bookkeeping machine 1 records (prints) the transaction contents of the unbooked transaction acquired by the printing unit 31 from the host device in the book. At this time, the bankbook transport unit 4 controls the position of the bankbook with respect to the print head so that the printing position of the printing unit 31 in the bankbook is appropriate. The passbook transport unit 4 transports the passbook that has been booked to the passbook insertion port 41 and discharges it.

  Further, when the booked page is full before the bookkeeping is completed, it is conveyed to the page turning unit 34, the page of this bankbook is turned over, and the remaining transaction contents are booked by the printing unit 31. Further, if the passbook being filled is filled before the completion of the bookkeeping, the passbook is conveyed and discharged to the passbook insertion port 41, and one unused passbook is fed out from the passbook cartridge 44, and the passbook processing unit 3 to transport. This bankbook that has been sent out becomes a carry-over bankbook. In the passbook processing unit 3, the printing unit 31 records the remaining transaction contents in the carryover passbook, and the magnetic data processing unit 32 writes data such as an account number in the magnetic stripe attached to the back cover of the carryover passbook. . The carry-over passbook that has been booked is conveyed to the passbook insertion port 41 and discharged.

  Next, the bookkeeping process for the passbook set in the collective passbook set port 42 will be described. The bookkeeping machine 1 feeds one passbook set in the collective passbook set port 42 to the passbook transport path 40. The passbook transport unit 4 transports the passbook fed from the batch passbook set port 42 to the passbook processing unit 3 along the passbook transport path 40. The passbook processing unit 3 reads data such as an account number recorded on the magnetic stripe attached to the back cover of the passbook that is being transported along the passbook transport path 40 by the magnetic data processing unit 32. The bookkeeping machine 1 communicates with the host device in the communication unit 9 and acquires the transaction content of the account with the account number read this time for each transaction whose transaction content is unrecorded. In addition, the optical reading unit 33 reads the barcode indicating the page number printed on the page in which the passbook is opened, detects the last booked line in which the transaction contents are booked, and the like. Determine the starting line.

  The bookkeeping machine 1 records (prints) the transaction contents of the unbooked transaction acquired by the printing unit 31 from the host device in the book. At this time, the bankbook transport unit 4 controls the position of the bankbook with respect to the print head so that the printing position of the printing unit 31 in the bankbook is appropriate. The bankbook transport unit 4 transports the bankbook that has been booked to the bankbook discharge port 43 and discharges it.

  Further, when the booked page is full before the bookkeeping is completed, it is conveyed to the page turning unit 34, the page of this bankbook is turned over, and the remaining transaction contents are booked by the printing unit 31. Further, when the passbook being filled is filled before the completion of the bookkeeping, the passbook is transported to the pass outlet 43 and discharged, and one unused passbook is fed out from the passbook cartridge 44, and the passbook processing unit. 3 to transport. This bankbook that has been sent out becomes a carry-over bankbook. In the passbook processing unit 3, the printing unit 31 records the remaining transaction contents in the carryover passbook, and the magnetic data processing unit 32 writes data such as an account number in the magnetic stripe attached to the back cover of the carryover passbook. . The carry-over passbook that has been booked is transported to the passbook discharge port 43 and discharged.

  In this way, the bookkeeping machine 1 transports the bankbook inserted into the bankbook insertion slot 41 to the bankbook insertion slot 41 and discharges it after completing the bookkeeping. Further, the passbook set in the collective passbook set port 42 is conveyed to the passbook discharge port 43 after the completion of the bookkeeping. In this bookkeeping machine 1, for a user who has only one passbook to be booked, a drop in operability can be prevented by inserting the passbook into the passbook insertion port 41. For a user who has multiple passbooks to be booked, the operability can be prevented from being lowered by setting the multiple passbooks to be booked in the batch passbook set port 42.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the bookkeeping machine 1 will be described.

  3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the operation of the bookkeeping machine. The bookkeeping machine 1 inserts a passbook into the passbook insertion port 41 (s1), a passbook set request to the collective passbook set port 42 (s2), or a passbook removal request from the passbook discharge port 43 (s3). waiting. When the bookkeeping machine 1 detects that a bankbook has been inserted into the bankbook insertion slot 41 at s1, the bankbook transport unit 4 transports this bankbook to the bankbook processing unit 3 along the bankbook transport path 40 (s4). The bankbook processing unit 3 performs the above-described bookkeeping process on the bankbook transported by the bankbook transport unit 4 (s5). When the passbook processing unit 3 completes the bookkeeping, the passbook transfer unit 4 transfers the passbook to the passbook insertion port 41 and discharges it (s6), and returns to s1. The user receives the passbook (booked passbook) discharged to the passbook insertion port 41.

  As described above, when the entry field of the passbook inserted by the user is full, the user receives not only the inserted passbook but also the carry-over passbook that is subsequently discharged to the passbook insertion port 41. .

  Further, when accepting a passbook set request to the collective passbook set port 42 in s2, the bookkeeping machine 1 executes the processing shown in FIG. First, the card processing unit 5 accepts insertion of a cash card (s7). The user performs an input operation related to a passbook set request to the collective passbook set port 42 by the operation unit 6 and inserts a cash card. At this time, the display unit 7 displays an operation guidance screen for the user on the display 7a to assist the user's operation. Further, the process related to s7 is a process for specifying the user who sets the passbook in the collective passbook set port 42, and the cash card used here is in the same account as one of the passbooks for recording the transaction contents this time. It may be issued to a cash card or may be issued to a completely different account. In other words, the user who sets a passbook in the current batch passbook set port 42 may be a cash card possessed by the user.

  The card processing unit 5 reads information such as the account number recorded on the cash card accepted in s7, and then discharges the cash card and returns it to the user. In addition, the bookkeeping machine 1 accepts a password setting input via the operation unit 6 (s8). The personal identification number received in s8 is temporary and may not be the personal identification number corresponding to the cash card accepted in s7. The user inputs a password of a predetermined digit (for example, 4 digits) on the operation unit 6. The bookkeeping machine 1 associates the account number read from the cash card received in s7 with the password entered in s8 and stores it in the memory of the control unit 2 (s9).

  The user opens the door 42a, sets the passbook to be booked this time in the collective passbook set port 42, then closes the door 42a, and performs an input operation for setting completion with the operation unit 6. When the bookkeeping machine 1 receives an input operation for completion of setting (s10), the lock unit 8 locks the electronic lock provided on the doors 42a and 43a (locks the doors 42a and 43a) (s11).

  In the bookkeeping machine 1, the display unit 7 displays a guidance message such as “Please wait for a while because it will take a while to complete processing” on the display 7 a for a certain period of time. That is, the user is notified that there is no problem even if the user leaves the bookkeeping machine 1 main body.

  The bookkeeping machine 1 feeds one passbook set in the collective passbook set port 42 (s12) and conveys the passbook to the passbook processing unit 3 (s13). The bankbook processing unit 3 performs the above-described bookkeeping process on the bankbook transported by the bankbook transport unit 4 (s14). The passbook transport unit 4 transports the passbook that has been booked in the passbook processing unit 3 to the passbook outlet 43 (s15).

  Note that, as described above, when the passbook of the passbook fed out from the current batch passbook set port 42 becomes full, the carry-over passbook fed out from the passbook cartridge 44 is also conveyed to the passbook discharge port 43.

  When the bookkeeping process for the passbook fed out from the current batch passbook set port 42 is completed, the bookkeeping machine 1 determines whether or not there is a passbook set in the batch passbook set port 42 (whether there is an unprocessed passbook) (s16). . If there is a passbook in the collective passbook set port 42, the bookkeeping machine 1 checks whether or not a passbook is inserted in the passbook insertion port 41 (s17). That is, it is confirmed whether another user has inserted a passbook into the passbook insertion port 41.

  In the bookkeeping machine 1, if there is a bankbook in the bankbook insertion slot 41, the bankbook transport unit 4 transports this bankbook to the bankbook processing unit 3 along the bankbook transport path 40 (s18). The bankbook processing unit 3 performs the above-described bookkeeping process on the bankbook transported by the bankbook transport unit 4 (s19). When the passbook processing unit 3 completes the bookkeeping, the passbook transport unit 4 transports the passbook to the passbook insertion port 41 and discharges it (s20). The process concerning s18-s20 is the same as the process concerning s4-s6 mentioned above.

  When the passbook is not inserted into the passbook insertion port 41 in s17, or the processing relating to s18 to s20 is completed, the bookkeeping machine 1 returns to s12 and repeats the above-described processing.

  As described above, when the bookkeeping machine 1 performs the bookkeeping with respect to a plurality of passbooks set in the batch passbook set port 42, the bookkeeping machine 1 completes the bookkeeping with respect to one passbook set in the batch passbook set port 42. Then, it is confirmed whether or not a passbook is inserted into the passbook insertion port 41. If a passbook is inserted, the entry for the passbook inserted in the passbook insertion port 41 is processed by interruption. Therefore, a user who has multiple passbooks to occupy the bookkeeping machine 1 for a long time, and an increase in waiting time of a user who has only one passbook to be booked can be suppressed, so the service for the user can be improved. .

  For users who book in multiple passbooks, they can sit in a chair in the lobby and wait for the book entry for all passbooks to be completed. Although the timing of completing the book entry for all the passbooks is delayed, there is no particular problem.

  If it is determined in s16 that there is no passbook set in the collective passbook set port 42, the bookkeeping machine 1 notifies the completion of the book entry for a plurality of passbooks set in the collective passbook set port 42 (s21). Sit on a chair in the lobby and let the waiting user know. When notifying the s21, the bookkeeping machine 1 returns to s1 and performs the above-described processing.

  Next, an operation when the user sets the collective passbook set port 42 and takes out a plurality of booked passbooks from the passbook discharge port 43 will be described. As described above, the lock portion 8 locks the doors 42a and 43a at s11.

  The user uses the operation unit 6 to perform an input operation related to a passbook removal request from the passbook discharge port 43. When the bookkeeping machine 1 accepts a passbook removal request from the passbook outlet 43 in s3, the card processing unit 5 accepts insertion of a cash card (s22). The user inserts the cash card used in s7 described above into the card processing unit 5. The card processing unit 5 reads information such as the account number recorded in the cash card accepted in s22, and then discharges the cash card and returns it to the user. Further, the bookkeeping machine 1 accepts an input of a password at the operation unit 6 (s23). The user inputs the password entered in s8 described above.

  The bookkeeping machine 1 confirms that the account number recorded in the cash card received in s22 and the password received in s23 match the account number and password stored in the memory of the control unit 2 in s9. It is determined whether or not (s24). If at least one of the account number or the personal identification number does not match in s24, the bookkeeping machine 1 returns to s1 and repeats the above-described processing. At this time, the display unit 7 temporarily displays a message indicating that the re-operation is performed on the display unit 7a, and allows the user to recognize that the cash card or the password is different.

  If the bookkeeping machine 1 determines that both the account number and the personal identification number match in s24, the lock unit 8 unlocks the electronic locks of the doors 42a and 43a (the doors 42a and 43a are unlocked). ) (S25), return to s1. The user opens the door 43 a and takes out the bankbook that has been recorded in the bankbook discharge port 43.

  As described above, when the user sets a passbook in the collective passbook set port 42, the bookkeeping machine 1 uses information for identifying the user (in the above example, the cash card (account number), the password). ) Is received, and when the passbook is taken out from the passbook outlet 43, input of this information is requested. The lock unit 8 locks the doors 42a and 43a when a bankbook is set in the collective bankbook set port 42. Further, the lock unit 8 unlocks the doors 42a and 43a if the information used to identify the user input when taking out the passbook from the passbook outlet 43 is appropriate. Therefore, a user who has a plurality of passbooks to be booked does not carry away the passbook to others even if he / she is away from the main body of the bookkeeping machine 1 while the passbook is being booked. In other words, a user who has a plurality of bankbooks to be booked can leave the bookkeeping machine 1 main body while the bankbook is being booked.

  In the above-described example, a cash card (account number) and a personal identification number are used as information for specifying a user. However, either one or biometric information such as finger veins may be used. It is good also as a structure. In this case, a configuration for reading biometric information may be provided in the bookkeeping machine 1.

  Next, another example of the bookkeeping machine according to the present invention will be described. The bookkeeping machine 1 according to this example is installed at a store window of a financial institution and is configured to be shared by users and bank employees. This bookkeeping machine 1 is also the same as FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the inside of the bookkeeping machine 1. In FIG. 5, the same components as those in FIG. The bookkeeping machine 1 of this example has a configuration in which a clerk side display 7b, a clerk side passbook insertion slot 45, and a passbook tray 46 are added. The display unit 7 controls not only the display 7a but also the display on the employee-side display 7b. As shown in FIG. 5, the bank account-side passbook insertion port 45 is provided on the back side of the bookkeeping machine 1 main body (the side facing the passbook insertion port 41). The passbook tray 46 receives the passbook discharged from the bank account side passbook insertion port 45.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the bookkeeping machine 1 is installed at a store window of a financial institution. As described above, the bookkeeping machine 1 uses not only a user but also a bank employee. The passbook insertion port 41, the collective passbook set port 42, and the passbook discharge port 43 are located on the user side, and the clerk side passbook insertion port 45 is located on the clerk side. In FIG. 6, the bookkeeping machine 1 is arranged between two employees so that the two employees can share it. Moreover, the user can use from the side facing the clerk across the counter.

  The bookkeeping process for the bankbook inserted in the bankbook insertion slot 41 and the bankbook set in the collective bankbook set slot 42 is the same as the bookkeeping machine 1 in the above example.

  The bookkeeping machine 1 can also make a book entry for a passbook inserted into the bank account side passbook insertion slot 45. The bookkeeping process for the bankbook inserted in the bank account side bank entry slot 45 will be described. In the bookkeeping machine 1, the bankbook transport unit 4 transports the bankbook inserted in the bank account-side bankbook insertion port 45 to the bankbook processing unit 3 along the bankbook transport path 40. The passbook processing unit 3 reads data such as an account number recorded on the magnetic stripe attached to the back cover of the passbook that is being transported along the passbook transport path 40 by the magnetic data processing unit 32. The bookkeeping machine 1 communicates with the host device in the communication unit 9 and acquires the transaction content of the account with the account number read this time for each transaction whose transaction content is unrecorded. In addition, the optical reading unit 33 reads the barcode indicating the page number printed on the page in which the passbook is opened, detects the last booked line in which the transaction contents are booked, and the like. Determine the starting line.

  The bookkeeping machine 1 records (prints) the transaction contents of the unbooked transaction acquired by the printing unit 31 from the host device in the book. At this time, the bankbook transport unit 4 controls the position of the bankbook with respect to the print head so that the printing position of the printing unit 31 in the bankbook is appropriate. The bankbook transport unit 4 transports the bankbook that has been booked to the bank account side bankbook insertion port 45 and discharges it. The discharged passbook is accumulated in the passbook tray 46.

  Further, when the booked page is full before the bookkeeping is completed, it is conveyed to the page turning unit 34, the page of this bankbook is turned over, and the remaining transaction contents are booked by the printing unit 31. Further, when the passbook being filled is filled before the completion of the bookkeeping, the passbook is transported to the bank passer's passbook insertion port 45 and discharged, and one unused passbook is fed out from the passbook cartridge 44. It is conveyed to the processing unit 3. This bankbook that has been sent out becomes a carry-over bankbook. In the passbook processing unit 3, the printing unit 31 records the remaining transaction contents in the carryover passbook, and the magnetic data processing unit 32 writes data such as an account number in the magnetic stripe attached to the back cover of the carryover passbook. .
