Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a magnetic card issuing device that can write specific information on a magnetic card to issue a magnetic card having a specific value, and particularly relates to a magnetic card issuing device that can write specific information on a magnetic card and issue a magnetic card having a specific value. The present invention relates to a magnetic card issuing device that can store magnetic cards in advance and automatically record magnetic information while selecting and taking them out according to the purpose of use.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional magnetic card issuances, such as prepaid cards, credit cards, cash cards, and other magnetic cards on which information with specific value is written, a B-ki card on which value information has been written in advance is kept, and a voucher or It was often supplied in exchange for cash. Storing magnetic cards with such value attached, especially bripaid cards that have value information recorded on them similar to cash, in a store or company and issuing them in exchange for cash may lead to theft or unauthorized use. Yes, it was extremely dangerous.

For this reason, we prepare only magnetic cards with no information written on them, insert the raw card into the card reader at the time of issuance at the same time as receiving the charge, and at that time value information is recorded magnetically for the first time, and then the magnetic card is ready for use. A magnetic card issuing device that issues cards has been proposed.

[Means for solving problems]

For this purpose, it is safe from a management point of view to record amount information by inserting a raw card prepared in advance into a magnetic reading/writing device such as a card reader. However, as the range of use of Vrivaid cards has expanded, even the method of simply recording magnetic information on raw cards has often found that the magnetic card issuing function is insufficient. For example, if the color or design of a prepaid card is changed depending on the amount used, a magnetic card issuing device must be installed for each amount, or a raw card stored manually must be selected and recorded magnetically. Naturally, the work was complicated and error-prone. Furthermore, even when a single magnetic card issuing device has to issue multiple types of prepaid cards for different purposes, conventional methods require that the different types of prepaid cards be stored separately. Therefore, the work of issuing cards was extremely complicated.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of the above drawbacks, the present invention provides a plurality of cartridges each holding a plurality of different magnetic cards, and a conveying means for selecting and drawing out only a specific magnetic card from the cartridges. A magnetic device comprising: a printing means for printing specific characters on a magnetic card pulled out by the conveying means; and a writing means for magnetically recording specific information on a magnetic recording medium of the magnetic card. It provides a card issuing device. [Function] In the present invention, a cartridge storing a plurality of different types of magnetic cards is housed inside the magnetic card issuing device. Inside these cartridges, there are stored multiple types of magnetic cards (raw cards) with no information written on them, each with a different purpose of use, a different amount of money, and a different design. When issuing a magnetic card with value information recorded, the raw card is pulled out from one of the cartridges by giving selective instructions, and the raw card is filled with denomination information and ticket issuing machine information. Specific information such as information is written on the card, and the card is automatically ejected and issued as a usable magnetic card. Therefore, there is no need to manually distinguish the types of magnetic cards, making it extremely easy to issue magnetic cards.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, each cartridge l1, 12, l3 has a first
A plurality of magnetic cards M shown in FIG. 2 are stored.

Each of these magnetic cards M has a magnetic stripe S,
Preliminary information necessary for different publishing purposes is written in the magnetic stripe S. However, in this state, no value information is written on it, making it a so-called raw card, and no code such as amount or type is written on it. Therefore, even if the card stored in this cartridge, the magnetic card M, is used, it will not perform the payment function as a prepaid card. However, the magnetic stripe S has a code written therein containing a password indicating what purpose the magnetic card M is used for. This magnetic card M is attached to each cartridge 11.
, 12, 13, and each cartridge 11, l2
, 13 are combined with take-out mechanisms 8, 9, and 10, respectively. If power is supplied to the magnetic card issuing device in this state, the magnetic card issuing device will wait for card issuance.

Then, the user selects one of the selectable switches 15 and instructs which denomination of the magnetic card M is to be issued.

Then, this instruction is transmitted to the CPU via the input/output device, and operates to issue a magnetic card. Based on this instruction, the CPU determines which magnetic card M is to be issued, and transmits the signal to one of the motors 176, 185, 186 via the input/output device and switching circuit 190. For example, consider a state in which the motor 176 is activated.

The motor 176 is inserted into the take-out mechanism 8, and first, the output of the motor rotates the rotating shaft 160 via a pulley 177, a helmet 179, and a booley 178. At the same time, the rotating shaft 166 is also rotated via the booley 173, belt 175, and pulley 174. Therefore, the auxiliary rollers 167, 168, 171, 172 are rotated, and the main rollers 169, 170 are simultaneously rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. Then, among the magnetic cards M stored in the main body 180 of the cartridge l1, the one closest to the roller side is pulled down by the frictional force of the rollers 167 to 172, and only one card is pulled out from the ejection port B. .

The output device then activates the motor 175 of the transport section 7. Therefore, the rotational output of the motor 151 is
2, belt 156, booley 152, booley 155,
Via the belt 157, each of the boleys 144 to 149 is rotated in the direction shown in FIG. For this reason, the shaft 12
0, 121 and rollers 122, 123 are rotated, and at the same time shafts 132, 133, rollers 134,
135 is also rotated. Therefore, one magnetic card M pulled out from the ejection port B is
It is supported in between and then pulled further downward.

Next, the magnetic card M is moved further downward while being supported between the rollers 134 and 135.

After being moved by the bells 134 and 135, this magnetic card M contacts the guide plate 141, and its direction of movement is reversed by approximately 90 inches, and the magnetic card M is moved by the rollers 138 and 139.
The direction is reversed. Since the rollers 138 and 139 are rotated by the belt 157 as described above, the magnetic card M is moved horizontally while being supported between the rollers 138 and 139, and is moved in the direction of the printing mechanism 6. It will be done.

A motor 85 in this printer 6 is also rotated by an input/output device, and when the magnetic card M is moved, it is supported between the rollers 8l and further moved in the horizontal direction. At this time, the bottom surface of the printer 83 comes into contact with the surface of the magnetic card M.
3, the characters necessary for issuance, the amount, etc. are printed on the surface of the magnetic card M so that they can be visually discerned.

FIG. 13 shows the state after characters have been printed on the magnetic card M by the printer.

Then, the magnetic card M that has passed through the printing section 6 is moved to the writing section 5. In the writing part 5, the rail body 2l and the lid body 2
However, since the motor 62 is driven by the input/output device as described above, the output of the motor 62 is transmitted through the boley 63, the belt 65, and the boley 64. This means that the shaft 50 and the shaft 49 are being rotated. Therefore, the driving rollers 55 and 53 are rotating, and the supporting roller 57
, 58 are in contact with the drive rollers 53, 55, the magnetic card M is driven by these rollers 53, 55,
It is moved while being supported by 57 and 58. At this time, the reading head 60 and the writing head 59 come into contact with the lower surface of the magnetic card M. First, information stored in advance on the magnetic stripe S of the magnetic card M is read by the reading head 60, and this magnetic card M is
Determine whether the raw card can be set with E4fL information. The preliminary information signal read by the reading head 60 is transmitted from the input/output device to the CPU through the read circuit, and
It is determined whether the settings are correct by comparing them with the setting conditions stored in the OM. Once the validity of the magnetic card M is determined and it is determined whether the magnetic card M can be issued as a bripaid card, the CPU transmits specific value information to the write circuit 188 via the input/output device. .

For this reason, the write circuit transmits information necessary for a bripaid card, such as amount information and issue date, to the write head 59, and writes specific value information on the magnetic stripe S. FIG. 13 is a plan view showing the state of the prepaid card N after information has been written on the magnetic card M, which is in the state of a raw card, and specific characters have been printed on the surface.

The prepaid card N written by the writing head 59 is ejected from the slit A of the front panel 25 to the outside.
