Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable writing and reading data to the magnetic stripe of various kinds of magnetic passbooks by detecting automatically the magnetic stripe position and the magnetic data writing density of the magnetic passbook, thereby performing the writing and reading. CONSTITUTION:When the magnetic passbook 3 is transferred to a transfer path 8, the magnetic stripe 4 position of the passbook 3 is detected and a detective signal is outputted to a control part 7 by magnetic sensor 6 during movement. By the control part 7, the position of a magnetic head 2 is controlled based on the detective signal, by the magnetic head 2, the magnetic data written to the magnetic stripe 4 is detected. The magnetic data is read by a magnetic data writing/reading part 5, the contents of the magnetic data and the magnetic data writing density are stored by the control part 7. When the next command of the writing of a magnetic tape is performed, the prescribed writing magnetic data is sent to the magnetic data writing/reading part 5 at the magnetic tape writing density stored previously.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passbook transaction machine that writes magnetic data to and reads magnetic data from a magnetic stripe provided on a magnetic passbook.

0002

[Prior Art] A conventional passbook transaction machine that writes magnetic data to and reads magnetic data from a magnetic stripe provided on a magnetic passbook depends on the placement location of the magnetic stripe on the magnetic passbook and the magnetic data writing density. Only magnetic passbooks that meet the specified conditions can be used for passbook transactions in which magnetic data is written to and read from the magnetic stripe of the passbook.

[0003] In other words, conventional passbook transaction machines perform magnetic data write processing and magnetic data processing only on magnetic stripes that are placed at specific locations on magnetic passbooks and have a specific magnetic data writing density. It is equipped with a magnetic data writing/reading device that performs reading processing.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] For this reason, in the conventional passbook transaction machines described above, the placement location of the magnetic stripe on the magnetic passbook and the density of magnetic data writing do not satisfy the specified conditions (different magnetic passbook If the magnetic stripe is placed in a different location or the magnetic data writing density of the magnetic stripe is different), passbook transactions cannot be performed with a different type of magnetic passbook, and passbook transactions with this different type of magnetic passbook will not be possible. In order to do this, there was a problem in that it was necessary to replace the magnetic data writing/reading device with a corresponding magnetic data writing/reading device.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to be able to write and read magnetic data on the magnetic stripes of various magnetic passbooks, regardless of the location of the magnetic stripe or the magnetic data writing density. Our goal is to provide passbook transaction machines.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a passbook transaction machine that performs a process of writing magnetic data to a magnetic stripe provided on a magnetic passbook and a process of reading magnetic data.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention automatically detects the magnetic stripe position and magnetic data writing density of the magnetic passbook, and writes predetermined data to the magnetic stripe of the magnetic passbook. The present invention is characterized in that it includes a magnetic data writing/reading device that performs magnetic data writing processing and magnetic data reading processing at high density.

The magnetic data writing/reading device also includes a magnetic data writing/reading section that performs magnetic data writing and reading processing on the magnetic stripe of the magnetic passbook through a movable magnetic head. , a movable magnetic sensor that detects the magnetic stripe position of the magnetic passbook, position control of the magnetic head based on a detection signal from the magnetic sensor, and storage of magnetic data input from the magnetic data writing/reading section; The present invention is characterized in that it is configured to include a control section that sends written magnetic data to the magnetic data writing/reading section.

[0009] Furthermore, the magnetic head and the magnetic sensor are disposed so as to move in a direction perpendicular to the passbook transport direction with respect to the passbook transport path.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a magnetic data writing/reading device for a passbook transaction machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the main part (passbook conveyance path) of the same passbook transaction machine.

This passbook transaction machine is equipped with a magnetic data writing/reading device 1 shown in FIG. This magnetic data writing/reading device 1 includes a magnetic data writing/reading section 5 that performs magnetic data writing and reading processing on the magnetic stripe 4 of the magnetic passbook 3 via a movable magnetic head 2; A movable magnetic sensor 6 that detects the position of the magnetic stripe 4 of the magnetic passbook 3, position control of the magnetic head 2 based on the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 6, and storage of magnetic data input from the magnetic data writing/reading unit 5. , and a control section 7 that sends written magnetic data to the magnetic data writing/reading section 5.

The magnetic head 2 and magnetic sensor 6 are shown in FIG.
As shown, it is installed in a rectangular opening 9 formed in the passbook conveyance path 8, and is configured to move in a direction (arrow direction) perpendicular to the passbook conveyance direction (arrow A direction). In this case, the magnetic head 2 is located slightly downstream of the magnetic sensor 6.

Next, the operation of the magnetic data writing/reading device 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

When the magnetic bankbook 3 is inserted through a bankbook insertion slot (not shown), the magnetic sensor 6 moves left and right at a predetermined speed. When the magnetic passbook 3 taken in by a loading mechanism (not shown) is conveyed to the passbook transport path 8, the moving magnetic sensor 6 detects the position of the magnetic stripe 4 of the magnetic passbook 3 and sends a detection signal to the control unit 7. Output against.

The control unit 7 controls the magnetic head 2 based on the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 6 to detect the magnetic stripe 4 of the magnetic passbook 3.
Control the position so that it moves to the desired position. The magnetic head 2, which had moved to the magnetic stripe 4 position, now moves to the magnetic stripe 4 position.
Detects magnetic data written on the

The magnetic data writing/reading unit 5 has the magnetic head 2
reads and processes the detected magnetic data and outputs it to the control unit 7. The control section 7 stores the content of the magnetic data sent from the magnetic data writing/reading section 5 and the magnetic data writing density.

Next, when a magnetic data write command is issued, the control section 7 sends predetermined write magnetic data to the magnetic data writing/reading section 5 at the previously stored magnetic data writing density. The magnetic data writing/reading section 5 writes magnetic data onto the magnetic stripe 4 using the magnetic head 2 disposed at the magnetic stripe 4 position of the magnetic passbook 3 in synchronization with the sending of the written magnetic data.

Since this passbook transaction machine is equipped with the above-described magnetic data writing/reading device 1, it can read and write magnetic stripes on various magnetic passbooks regardless of the magnetic stripe placement location or magnetic data writing density.
