(Structure of card processing device)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of the card processing device according to this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, the card processing device 1 includes a control section 10, a recording medium 11, a conveying mechanism 120, a magnetic head 121, and an IC contact 122. As shown in FIG.
The control unit 10 is a processor that controls the operation of the card processing device 1 as a whole, and exhibits various functions described later by operating according to a preloaded program, for example.
The recording medium 11 is an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), or the like, and is a storage device incorporated in the card processing apparatus 1 .

The transport mechanism 120 is a driving mechanism that pulls in the card T inserted from the insertion slot I and transports it to a position where various processes can be performed. The transport mechanism 120 also transports the card-type medium that has undergone various processes back to the insertion slot I. FIG. The structure of the transport mechanism 120 will be described later.
The magnetic head 121 is a mechanism for reading magnetic data from the magnetic stripe T1 attached to the card T. FIG. The magnetic head 121 reads magnetic data from the magnetic stripe T<b>1 while the card T is being transported by the transport mechanism 120 .
The IC contact 122 is a device that makes electrical contact with the IC chip T2 mounted on the card T. FIG. When the card T is transported to an appropriate position by the transport mechanism 120, the positions of the IC contacts 122 and the positions of the IC chip T2 are aligned to form electrical contacts.

In addition, in the following description, the card T is not limited only to an IC card. In this embodiment, the card T may be any card having a standard size (for example, 54 mm long, 85 mm wide, and 0.76 mm thick) that can be transported by the transport mechanism 120 of the card processing apparatus 1. Aspects are included. That is, the card T may include those without either or both of the magnetic stripe T1 and the IC chip T2 depending on the type thereof.

Next, the structure of the transport mechanism 120 will be described.
The conveying mechanism 120 carries out a conveying operation so as to draw the card T inserted from the insertion slot I into the toll collection machine 1A (+X direction in FIG. 2). In the following description, of the transport path of the card T formed by the transport mechanism 120, the side closer to the insertion slot I is also referred to as the "upstream side", and the side farther from the insertion slot I (closer to the IC contact 122) is also referred to as "upstream side". side) is also referred to as the “downstream side”.

As shown in FIG. 2, the transport mechanism 120 includes a DC motor M, a pulley P, three transport rollers R1, R2, and R3, a pressure roller Rp, and two flat transport belts B1 and B2. and
The DC motor M rotates based on a command signal from the controller 10 . Power of the DC motor M is transmitted through the pulley P to the transport roller R3.
The three transport rollers R1, R2, and R3 are arranged from the insertion slot I along the transport direction of the card T (±X direction). Each transport roller R1, R2, R3 is connected by two transport belts B1, B2.
The transport belt B1 is a rubber flat belt that connects the transport roller R1 and the transport roller R2, and the transport belt B2 is a rubber flat belt that connects the transport roller R2 and the transport roller R3. When the DC motor M rotates the transport roller R3, the power rotates the transport rollers R2 and R1 through the transport belt B2 and the transport belt B1.
A card T inserted from the insertion slot I is conveyed through friction with the surfaces of flat belts (conveyance belts B1 and B2) that rotate while connecting the conveyance rollers R1, R2 and R3.

Further, as shown in the lower part of FIG. 2, a pressing roller Rp is provided above (on the +Z direction side) the transport rollers R1 and R2. The pressing roller Rp rotates while sandwiching the card T moving on the transport belts B1 and B2 in the thickness direction (±Z direction) between the transport roller R1 and the transport roller R2. As a result, even if the card surface of the card T is distorted or warped, the card can be transported while correcting the distortion or warp.

The transport mechanism 120 further has four detection sensors S1, S2, S3, and S4 arranged at different points on the transport path of the card T. As shown in FIG.
Each of the detection sensors S1 to S4 can detect whether or not the card T is present at each location. For example, the detection sensors S1 to S4 are composed of a pair of a light projecting element and a light receiving element arranged in the height direction (±Z direction). , the detection light projected from the light projecting element does not reach the light receiving element. Therefore, it can be grasped that the card T exists at the point where the detection sensors (S1 to S4) are arranged. Note that specific aspects of the detection sensors S1 to S4 are not limited to the above.

The detection sensor S1 is arranged on the most upstream side (-X direction side) in the transport path. The detection sensor S1 is a sensor for detecting whether or not the card T has been inserted into the slot I. As shown in FIG. That is, the controller 10 rotates the DC motor M when the user inserts the card T into the slot I and the detection sensor S1 detects the presence of the card T. As shown in FIG. When the DC motor M is rotationally driven, the card T is drawn inside (+X direction) due to friction with the conveying belt B1.

The detection sensor S2 is arranged downstream of the detection sensor S1. Further, the detection sensor S3 is arranged downstream of the detection sensor S2. The detection sensor S2 and the detection sensor S3 are provided mainly to detect whether or not there is an abnormality in the transport operation of the transport mechanism 120 . For example, it is assumed that a “card jam” or the like occurs while the card T is being transported by the transport mechanism 120 . Assuming such a problem, the controller 10 assumes that a "card jam" has occurred when the card T is not detected by the detection sensor S3 within a certain period of time after the card T is detected by the detection sensor S2. Report the abnormality to the person in charge, etc.

The detection sensor S4 is arranged on the most downstream side (+X direction side). The detection sensor S4, in combination with the detection signal of the detection sensor S3, detects whether the card T has reached the target position (that is, the position where electrical contact can be obtained between the IC contact 122 and the IC chip T2). It is provided to determine whether or not Specifically, the control unit 10 changes the state from the state in which both the detection sensors S3 and S4 are "on" (the state in which the card T is detected) to the state in which only the detection sensor S3 is "off" (the state in which the card T is detected). ), it is determined that the card T has reached the target position.

(Functional configuration of control unit)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the control unit according to this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 10 includes a sensor information acquisition unit 100, a motor control unit 101, a magnetic data acquisition unit 102, an IC chip processing unit 103, a recording processing unit 104, an erasure processing unit 105, and a forced discharge detection unit 106. , the forced discharge unit 107 , the monitoring unit 108 , and the external device cooperation unit 109 .

The sensor information acquisition unit 100 receives a detection signal from each of the detection sensors S1 to S4 (see FIG. 2) and determines information (“ON” or “OFF”) indicated by the detection signal.
A motor control unit 101 controls the operation of the DC motor M. FIG. For example, when the sensor information acquisition unit 100 receives an "ON" detection signal from the detection sensor S1, the motor control unit 101 controls the DC motor M to rotate forward. As a result, the card T inserted into the slot I is drawn inside. Further, when the IC chip processing unit 103 (described later) completes a series of read processing and write processing with respect to the card T, the motor control unit 101 controls the DC motor M to reverse. As a result, the card T for which a series of reading and writing processes by the IC chip processing unit 103 has been completed is returned to the insertion slot I.

The magnetic data acquisition unit 102 reads and acquires the magnetic data recorded on the magnetic stripe T1 attached to the card T through the magnetic head 121 (read processing unit).
The IC chip processing unit 103 (read processing unit) performs read/write processing on the IC chip T2 attached to the card T through the IC contact 122 . The IC chip processing unit 103 also performs a process of determining whether or not the IC chip T2 is mounted on the card T based on the result of trying to apply electricity through the IC contact 122 .
The magnetic head 121 and the IC chip processing unit 103 are read processing units that perform read processing on the magnetic stripe T1 and the IC chip T2 (storage unit) of the card T after the completion of transportation of the card T into the card processing apparatus 1. An example.

The recording processing unit 104 reads data recorded in the magnetic stripe T1 or IC chip T2 (storage unit) of the inserted card and performs processing for recording the data in the recording medium 11 inside the card processing device 1 .
The erasure processing unit 105 performs processing for erasing the processing target data recorded on the recording medium 11 before the card T is ejected. The erasure processing unit 105 erases the data to be processed recorded on the recording medium 11 inside the card processing apparatus when the forced ejection operation is detected. The forced ejection operation is the detection of forced movement such as the act of removing the card, the detection of the induced electromotive force generated by rotating the motor, and the abnormal value of the rotation speed when a tachometer is attached to the shaft of the motor. Incorrect card ejection that is different from normal ejection operation, such as detection of cases, detection of abnormalities by external devices such as when a hand is inserted and the cover is opened, detection of ejection operations including ejection commands from the host device, etc. Indicates an action or its sign. An abnormality detected by an external device, such as when a hand is inserted and the cover is opened, is a sign of an illegal card ejection operation.
The forced ejection detection unit 106 detects the forced ejection operation of the card T. FIG.
The forcible ejection unit 107 forcibly ejects the inserted card T. FIG.
A monitoring unit 108 monitors the motor.
The external device cooperation unit 109 transmits and receives processing target data and various commands to and from the external device 2 .

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a first example of the forced discharge detection mechanism.
As shown in FIG. 4, an example in which the monitoring unit 108 provided in the control unit 10 of the card processing device 1 is the voltage monitoring unit 1081 is shown. The motor M is controlled by the motor control section 101 . The voltage monitoring unit 1081 monitors the timing at which the motor control unit 101 controls the motor M and the voltage of the power line connected to the motor M. FIG. If the voltage of the power line connected to the motor M is not a predetermined voltage at a timing other than the timing at which the motor M is controlled, the voltage monitoring unit 1081 outputs an unauthorized detection signal indicating unauthorized removal of the card T to the forced ejection detection unit 108 . Output to As an example, if the card T is illegally removed and the motor M rotates, this generates an electromotive force. Voltage monitoring unit 1081 outputs a fraud detection signal to forced discharge detection unit 106 when the voltage of the power line connected to motor M detects a voltage due to an electromotive force different from a predetermined value at a timing other than the timing at which motor M is controlled. As a result, the forced discharge detection unit 106 detects the forced discharge operation.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a second example of the forced discharge detection mechanism.
As shown in FIG. 5, an example in which the monitor 108 provided in the controller 10 of the card processing device 1 is the rotation monitor 1082 is shown. In this case, the motor M is connected to a rotary encoder 110 . A rotary encoder 110 outputs a signal according to the rotation of the motor M. FIG. When the rotation monitoring unit 1082 receives a signal from the rotary encoder 110 at a timing other than the timing at which the motor M is controlled, it outputs a fraud detection signal to the forced discharge detection unit 106 . As an example, when the motor M rotates due to unauthorized removal of the card T, this causes the rotary encoder 110 to output a signal. The rotation monitoring unit 1082 outputs a fraud detection signal to the forced discharge detection unit 106 when detecting a signal from the rotary encoder 110 at a timing other than the timing at which the motor M is controlled. The forced ejection detection unit 106 may detect the operation of forced ejection in this way.

(Example of data to be processed)
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of data to be processed.
When the card T is inserted from the insertion slot I and the card T is conveyed inside, the magnetic data acquiring unit 102 acquires the acquired magnetic data (magnetic data recorded on the magnetic stripe T1), and the IC chip processing unit 103 The recorded data recorded in the read IC chip T2 is output to the recording processing unit 104 . The recording processing unit 104 records these data on the recording medium 11 as the data D to be processed.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of transporting the card T according to this embodiment.
7A and 7B both show a state in which the transport mechanism 120 transports the card T to the downstream side (+X direction side).
FIG. 7(a) shows the state immediately after the detection sensor S2 transitions from the ON state (detecting the card T) to the OFF state (not detecting the card T). FIG. 7(b) shows the state immediately after the detection sensor S3 transitions from the ON state (detecting the card T) to the OFF state (not detecting the card T). When the detection sensor S3 is in the OFF state and the detection sensor S4 is in the ON state, the card processor 1 can obtain an electrical contact between the card T at the target position (that is, between the IC contact 122 and the IC chip T2). position) has been reached.

(First processing of control unit)
FIG. 8 is a first diagram showing the processing flow of the control unit according to this embodiment.
The processing flow shown in FIG. 8 starts when the card T is inserted into the slot I (FIG. 2).
When the sensor information acquisition unit 100 of the control unit 10 detects the insertion of the card T by the detection sensor S1 (FIG. 2), the sensor information acquisition unit 100 acquires detection signals output from the detection sensors S1 and S2 ( step S100). When the external device linking unit 109 acquires the detection signals of the card T from S1 and S2, it transmits the detection signals from S1 and S2 to the external device 2 (step S101). When the external device 2 receives the detection signals in S1 and S2, it transmits a pull-in command to the card processing device 1 . The motor control unit 101 of the control unit 10 receives the pull-in command (step S102). Then, the motor control unit 101 controls the DC motor M (FIG. 2) to start transporting the card T by the transport mechanism 120 (step S103).

The magnetic data acquisition unit 102 reads magnetic data through the magnetic head 121 while the transport mechanism 120 is transporting the card T (step S104). The recording processing unit 104 records the read magnetic data as processing target data D on the recording medium 11 (step S105). Under the control of the motor control unit 101, the card T is further pulled into the card processing device 1 (+X direction). Then, the sensor information acquisition unit 100 sequentially acquires detection signals output from the detection sensor S3 and then from the detection sensor S4.

After obtaining the detection signal from the detection sensor S3, the control unit 10 obtains the detection signal from the detection sensor S4 (step S106). The external device linking unit 109 continues to transmit detection signals from the detection sensors S3 and S4 to the external device 2 (step S107). After acquiring the detection signals of the detection sensors S3 and S4, the external device 2 continuously acquires the detection signals, furthermore, acquisition of the detection signal from the detection sensor S3 is stopped, and only the detection signal from the detection sensor S4 can be acquired. In such a state, it is determined that the card T has reached the target position (that is, the position where electrical contact can be obtained between the IC contact 122 and the IC chip T2). The external device 2 then transmits a destination position arrival signal to the card processing device 1 .

The IC chip processing unit 103 of the control unit 10 receives the destination position arrival signal via the external device linking unit 109 (step S108). Then, the IC chip processing unit 103 reads data to be processed from the IC chip T2 mounted on the card T through the IC contact 122. FIG. The IC chip processing unit 103 outputs data to be processed to the recording processing unit 104 . The recording processing unit 104 records the processing target data D read from the IC chip T2 on the recording medium 11 (step S109).

The external device linking unit 109 transmits the processing target data D read through the magnetic head 121 and the processing target data D read from the IC chip T2 to the external device 2 (step S110). The external device 2 receives the data D to be processed. The external device 2 performs processing using the data D to be processed. The processing using the processing target data D by the external device 2 is, for example, billing processing. The external device 2 transmits a command to eject the card T to the card processing device 1 when the processing using the processing target data D is completed.

The erasure processing unit 105 of the card processing device 1 acquires the ejection command via the external device cooperation unit 109 (step S111). The erasure processing unit 105 erases the processing target data D recorded on the recording medium 11 so that the processing target data D does not remain on the recording medium 11 (step S112). As a result, unauthorized access to the data D to be processed after the card T is ejected can be prevented. When the motor control unit 101 completes erasing the target data D, the motor control unit 101 controls the motor M so that the card T is conveyed upstream (-X direction side) based on the ejection command (step S113). .

(Second processing of control unit)
FIG. 9 is a second diagram showing the processing flow of the control unit according to this embodiment.
In parallel with the first processing flow described above, the control unit 10 performs the processing shown in the second processing flow.
The forced discharge detection unit 106 of the control unit 10 repeatedly detects forced discharge. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, forced discharge detection unit 106 determines whether or not a fraud detection signal has been received from monitoring unit 108 (voltage monitoring unit 1081 or rotation monitoring unit 1082). When the forced discharge detection unit 106 receives the fraud detection signal, it determines that the forced discharge operation has been detected (step S201). The card processing device 1 may have a configuration other than the voltage monitoring unit 1081 and the rotation monitoring unit 1082 to detect forced ejection. For example, the card processor 1 is provided with a shutter in the slot I for the card T to isolate the card T so that it cannot be touched from the outside. In the card processing device 1, when the card T is pulled inside (+X direction), the switch mechanism for detecting opening of the shutter outputs an open signal based on the opening of the shutter. In such a case, the forced discharge detection unit 106 may receive the open signal and detect the forced discharge based on this open signal.

The forced ejection detection unit 106 instructs the deletion processing unit 105 to delete the data D to be processed when the forced ejection operation is detected. The erasure processing unit 105 erases the processing target data D recorded on the recording medium 11 so that the processing target data D does not remain on the recording medium 11 (step S202). As a result, unauthorized access to the processing target data D can be prevented when fraud such as forced ejection of the card T is detected.

Further, the forced ejection detection unit 106 outputs a detection signal of forced ejection to the forced ejection unit 107 . The forced discharge unit 107 instructs the motor control unit 101 to discharge. Then, the motor control unit 101 controls the motor M so that the card T is conveyed upstream (-X direction side) (step S203).

(action, effect)
By deleting the data to be processed recorded in the recording medium 11 when an attempt to illegally access the recording medium 11 is detected by the above processing, the data to be processed D can be illegally accessed. can be prevented.
