Abstract

PURPOSE:To specify a bankbook and to quickly recognize a page where data should be printed by comparing a page mark list and a page mark read out of the bankbook with each other to remove the disaccording page mark list and repeating this comparison to define the last remaining page mark list as the classification of the bankbook. CONSTITUTION:An item is recognized by a magnetic stripe read by a magnetic stripe reader/writer 3, and a bankbook recognizing part 9 sets page mark lists corresponding to this item and a list of bankbook classifications in a bankbook classification table 10 from bankbook page data in a bankbook page data register part 7. A page mark 51 is read by a page reader 3 and is successively compared with page mark lists. When the comparison results is matched, the page mark list is allowed to remain as the comparison object; but otherwise, this page mark list is removed from the comparison object. The bankbook classification corresponding to the last remaining page mark list is judged to be the classification of this bankbook 50. Thus, the bankbook 50 is specified, and the page as the printing object is quickly opened.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a passbook identification method for identifying and specifying a passbook type to be used for a transaction from among a plurality of passbook types.

(Prior Art) In financial institutions, there are various types of transactions that use passbooks.For example, when bookkeeping is performed, information in a magnetic stripe attached to a passbook is used.

The magnetic stripe records information such as account numbers and account numbers that specify the transactions that the passbook can handle. Therefore, by reading the contents of the magnetic stripe, it is possible to identify the type of bankbook (what type of transaction the bankbook corresponds to).

Now, in recent years, in order to automate the bookkeeping of a large number of bankbooks, there are cases where the bankbooks are stored in a predetermined box without opening the pages, and the bookkeeping is performed while opening the bankbooks to be printed one after another.

In addition, multi-subject passbooks are being used that can handle multiple transactions in one book.

For example, if a single passbook is used to handle time deposits and savings deposits, the magnetic stripe will record account codes representing two types of accounts.

When using this multi-subject passbook, the process details selected by the clerk are compared with multiple subject data from the magnetic stripe to determine whether the passbook is a transaction target.

Even if the number and types of items that can be handled are the same, the arrangement of pages in a passbook may vary; for example, a passbook may have pages related to time deposit transactions in the first half and pages related to ordinary deposits in the second half, or may not be the same at all. Conversely, various types of multi-subject passbooks are beginning to be used, such as passbooks with pages related to ordinary deposit transactions in the first half and pages related to time deposits in the second half.

When storing a passbook that can handle multiple subjects in a box like the one described above, simply reading the subject code recorded on the magnetic stripe will result in multiple passbooks being registered. There are cases. in this case,
In order to finally identify the passbook (passbook type), we sequentially read the page marks given to each member of the passbook and the printing status of each member, that is, how many lines have been printed? It is determined whether the contents of the instruction match, for example, the subject indicating the transaction details, the page and line to be printed. Note that the page code usually indicates the transaction type (item) and the position (page) on the passbook. This page code and printed line (
The printing start line) is read one page at a time and compared with the contents instructed by the host device, and when all the contents match, the page to be printed, in other words, the identification of the bankbook is completed.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) Conventionally, when determining which pages are to be printed for a multi-subject passbook, page marks and printed lines are read for each page, and the printing instructions of the host device are read. It was necessary to determine whether the content matches or not. For this reason, the further the target page is located in the later half of the page to be turned, the longer the time required for determination becomes, which hinders the execution of quick printing processing.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a passbook identification method that can identify a passbook and quickly determine which pages should be printed.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The passbook identification method of the present invention identifies the type of passbook for a passbook in which a page mark indicating the page and the item corresponding to the transaction details to be printed is attached for each page. In the case where the page mark list indicating the arrangement of the page marks for each passbook type is compared with the page marks read from the passbook in a predetermined order set in advance, the result of the comparison is If there is a match, the page mark list used for the comparison is left as the comparison target, and if the result of the comparison is not a match, the page mark list used for the comparison is excluded from the comparison target, The comparison is repeated, and the page mark list remaining at the end as a result of the comparison is identified as the bankbook type of the bankbook.

(Operation) In this method, the type of bankbook with page marks attached thereto is identified, and when specifying the type, a page mark list indicating the arrangement of page marks is prepared in advance for each bankbook. Then, the page marks attached to the bankbook are read in a predetermined order set in advance and compared with the page mark list in sequence. If the comparison results match, that is, the arrangement of page marks on the page mark list is
This page mark list is left as a comparison target until it is determined that the order is the same as the order of page marks read from the passbook. On the other hand, if the result of the comparison is a mismatch, that is, the order of the page marks on the page mark list is different from the order of the page marks read from the bankbook, this page mark list is excluded from the comparison. This comparison is continued, and the bankbook type corresponding to the last remaining page mark list is assumed to be the bankbook type of this bankbook.

(Example) FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a bookkeeping device according to the present invention.

In the bookkeeping device 1 shown in the figure, the designated subject line storage section 2 is made up of a RAM or the like that stores subjects and lines of the contents of print instructions from a higher-level device (not shown). The page reader 3 is made up of an optical sensor, etc., and reads page marks 51 made of barcodes etc. provided on each member of the bankbook 50. It consists of a RAM etc. that stores the results. The designated mark determination unit 5 determines whether the output of the page reader 3 (information indicating subjects and rows) matches the contents of the designated subject line storage unit 2. If they match,
Enable the output signal and disable it if there is a mismatch.

This determination result is used, for example, when issuing a new or updated passbook 50. That is, since the passbook type has already been determined as a predetermined one when these are issued, it is only necessary to know that the page has been opened correctly.

The bankbook page data registration means 6 controls the registration of bankbook page data in a bankbook page data registration section 7, which will be described later. The passbook page data registration unit 7 stores a page mark list of all passbooks that can be handled by this bookkeeping device 1.
It consists of AM, etc.

The magnetic stripe reader/writer 8 reads and writes to a magnetic stripe (not shown) provided in the passbook 50. The passbook recognition unit 9 includes a passbook page data registration unit 7 corresponding to the reading result of the magnetic stripe reader/writer 6.
The above page mark list is extracted and the passbook type corresponding to this page mark list is recognized. The bankbook type table 10 is made up of a RAM and the like that stores the page mark list extracted by the bankbook recognition unit 9 and the list of recognized bankbook types.

The comparison/judgment unit 11 compares the page mark list stored in the bankbook type table 11 with the contents of the page mark reading data storage unit 4 for each bankbook type. Note that the comparison/judgment unit 11 deletes from the bankbook type table 10 the page mark list that does not match as a result of the comparison and the bankbook type corresponding to this page mark list.

The passbook identification code storage unit 12 includes a register or the like that stores a passbook identification code that specifies the book type determined by the comparison and determination unit 11. The judgment page storage section 13 is made up of a register or the like that stores a page code that specifies the page read by the page reader 3 when the comparison judgment section 11 determines the passbook type.

The page break mechanism unit 14 controls page breaks in the bankbook 50 based on the determination result of the comparison and determination unit 11.

Here, the configuration of the bankbook page data registration section 7 will be explained with reference to FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the bankbook page data registration section 7 according to the present invention.

Here, it is assumed that the bookkeeping device 1 is capable of printing eight types of bankbooks A to H, and that it handles bankbooks with a maximum printable page count of 10 pages.

As shown in the figure, the bankbook page data 20 is composed of items 21a to 21h indicating the bankbook type of bankbooks A to H, and page marks 1nost associated with page items P1 to P10 indicating the absolute page of each item. has been done. Here, the absolute page is, for example, one page from the cover side of the passbook that is related to the content of the page mark.
The pages are set as 2 pages, 3 pages, and so on.

The page mark consists of a 4-digit hexadecimal value, where the upper two digits indicate the subject and the lower two digits indicate the page for each subject.

Here, the upper two digits are set from "01" to °゛o5. Therefore, the bookkeeping device I can execute processing for five subjects.Then, the lower two digits are set for each subject. page is set.

For example, in the case of passbook A, there are 8 printed pages, the first 3 pages are for the subject "o5", the next 4 pages are for the subject "03", and the last page is for the subject °02. Show that something is true.

Here, the operation of the passbook identification method of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart according to the present invention.

Here, it is assumed that a print instruction has already been received from the host device and the content specifying the subject and line has been stored in the designated subject line storage section 2.

First, the magnetic stripe reader writer 8
0 magnetic stripe is read (step Sl)
. The passbook recognition unit 9 recognizes the subject code indicating the subject from the reading result of the magnetic stripe reader/writer 8, extracts all the page lists of the passbook page data 20 that include this subject code, and furthermore, extracts the page list corresponding to this page list. The bankbook type table 10 is created (step S2).
). Thereafter, the page mark added to the page of the passbook 50 opened by the page break mechanism unit 14 is read by the page reader 3 (
Step S3). The designated mark determining unit 5 determines whether or not this read result matches the contents of the designated subject line storage unit 2 (step S4). If this result is No,
The comparison determination 11 determines whether the contents of the bankbook identification code storage section 12 are confirmed (step S5). This judgment is made when the value of the counter n provided in the comparison judgment section 11 is "1",
And the contents of the list of passbook types in the passbook type table 10 are 1.
The result is YES if the bankbook type is the same. The result of step S5 is N.

In this case, the reading result of the page reader 3 is stored in the page mark reading data storage unit 4 (step S6), and the comparison determination unit 11
The counter n of is reset (content "o") (step S7).

Thereafter, the page mark stored in the page mark reading data storage unit 4 is compared with the contents of the first page (absolute page) of the page mark list of any type stored in the bankbook type table 10 (step S8). .

As a result, if they match, the contents of the counter n are incremented (step S9), and it is further determined whether the item of the bankbook type to be determined is set in the bankbook type table 10 (step 510). This result is YES
In this case, step S8 is executed again. If a mismatch is determined as a result of step S8, the page mark list and passbook type used for this comparison are shown in the passbook type table 10.
From the top, step 516) moves to step S10. The result of step SIO is N.

In this case, the comparison/judgment unit 11 determines that the contents of the counter
” (step 511). If the result is No, the comparison/determination unit 11 drives the page break mechanism unit 14 in order to cause the page reader 3 to read the new page mark.
One page of the bankbook 50 is read (step 512), and the process returns to step S3.

If YES is determined in step Sll,
The only remaining passbook type (passbook identification code) set on the passbook type table 10 is stored in the passbook identification code storage unit 12 (step 513), and the page mark reading data is stored in the page mark reading data storage unit 4 (step 513). , the page code part is stored in the judgment page storage unit 13 (step 514).

Then, the comparison/judgment unit 11 grasps the page corresponding to the content of the specified subject line storage unit 2 from the page mark list stored in the passbook type table 10, and inserts a page break for the required number of sheets (one or more sheets). In step S15), the process moves to step S3.

The operation described above will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is a process explanatory diagram according to the present invention.

First, it is assumed that the subject "02" is recognized from the magnetic stripe read by the magnetic stripe reader/writer 8. In this case, the passbook recognition unit 9 generates a page mark list (■) corresponding to subject "02" and a list of its passbook types (■
) is set in the passbook type table 1o.

Assuming that the bankbook 50 whose page mark 51 is read by the page reader 3 is bankbook B, the page mark first read by the page reader 3 is "0501" (■). This content is compared with the page mark list, and items in the page mark list and bankbook type list related to the bankbook type are deleted. Thereafter, the passbook type F is deleted from the reading results of the second and third pages of the passbook 5o by the page reader 3, but since the passbook types A and B both match, the passbook cannot be identified (■ ). and page leader 3
When the user reads the fourth page (■), the bankbook type A is different. Therefore, it is possible to specify that the bankbook 50 is the bankbook B.

As described above, the present invention can identify a bankbook based on the page mark 51 given to the page of the bankbook 50, and then quickly open the page to be printed.

(Effects of the Invention) The passbook identification method of the present invention configured as described above does not change the pages of the passbook one by one until the page to be printed can be identified, and the necessary pages are removed as soon as the identification of the passbook is completed. Since the pages are changed all at once, the processing time spent on one passbook can be shortened, and the processing capacity can be improved.
