Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for issuing a prepaid card, more specifically, reading, collating, printing on a card, a preprinted card number and a card number magnetically recorded on a magnetic surface, The present invention relates to a prepaid card issuing device that confirms printed data and classifies the data by type.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an apparatus of this type has a magnetic data reading section for reading a card number magnetically recorded on a magnetic surface, a magnetic data writing section for writing card issuing requirements, and a magnetic reading for checking written data. It was composed of parts. Then, the preprinted card number and the magnetically recorded card number are collated manually. Further, even if some cards have a mechanism for printing on the surface of the card, the printed contents have been manually checked in the same manner as above.

[0003]

In the conventional processing method, the preprinted card number and the print content on the card surface are manually checked as described above, and therefore the processing is complicated and the processing capability is high. It had the drawback of being inferior. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a prepaid card issuing device in which the processing efficiency is significantly improved as compared with the prior art.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a prepaid card issuing device according to the present invention is a prepaid card issuing device for performing a prepaid card issuing process, in which correspondence data between the prepaid card and the storing section are input in advance. A data input section to be stored, a display section showing the input guidance and the state of the apparatus, an insertion section for inserting a prepaid card, and a conveyance path of the inserted prepaid card, and printing on the back surface of the prepaid card. A recognition unit for reading the stored data, a magnetic data reading unit for reading the magnetic data of the conveyed prepaid card, a magnetic data writing unit for recording the issue requirement for the conveyed prepaid card, and A magnetic data confirmation reading unit for confirming the write data recorded by the magnetic data writing unit; A printing unit that prints on the surface of a prepaid card that is conveyed, a front surface data reading unit that confirms the data printed by the printing unit, a prepaid card that has passed through the recognition unit, the reading unit, the writing unit, and the printing unit. The card is composed of a plurality of storage units for storing each type of card based on the input data of the data input unit.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing an embodiment of a prepaid card issuing device according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of FIG. An insertion portion 2 is provided on the upper surface of the prepaid card issuing device 1, and a prepaid card 3 as a processing medium is inserted from the insertion portion 2. A path 4 for transporting the prepaid card 3 is provided from the insertion section 2 to the storage section 11. Below the path 4, a read recognition unit 5 for reading backside print data such as a magnetic ink character recognition reader or an optical character recognition reader, and subsequently magnetic data for reading data magnetically recorded on the magnetic surface of the prepaid card 3. The reading unit 6 is arranged.

Further, a magnetic data writing section 7 for writing requirements for issuing to the prepaid card 3, and this magnetic data writing section 7
A magnetic data reading unit 8 for confirming the data written by is provided. And above the following path,
A printing unit 9 for displaying individual issuance requirements (for example, a specific user name, a specific function display such as a member's card, a usage display such as a service ticket) on the surface of the prepaid card 3, and for confirming the printed data. The data reading unit 10 is arranged. A plurality of storage units 11 are provided at the end of the path 4 for storing the prepaid cards classified by type. On the upper surface of the prepaid card issuing device 1, in addition to the insertion section 2, a data input section 12 including a keyboard and the like, and a display including a CRT (cathode tube display), VFD (fluorescent tube display), LCD (liquid crystal display), etc. Part 13
Is provided.

Next, the operation of the prepaid card issuing device will be described. The data input unit 12 is operated in advance to input unique information indicating which type of prepaid card 3 should be stored corresponding to which storage unit 11. When the prepaid card 3 is inserted through the insertion section 2, the preprinted data of the inserted prepaid card 3 is read and recognized by the back side print data reading recognition section 5 such as a magnetic ink character recognition reader or an optical character recognition reader. It

Then, the pre-paid card 3 is read by the magnetic data reading unit 6 as data recorded in advance as magnetic recording data. Here, the issuing requirement is further written by the magnetic data writing unit 7 to the prepaid card that matches the requirement check. The confirmation of the written data is performed by the magnetic data reading unit 8. Further, the prepaid card 3 that meets the requirement check is printed with the individual issuance requirement by the front side printing unit 9. After confirming the print data content in the front surface data reading unit 10, the prepaid card 3 that matches the final requirement check is stored in the plurality of storage units 11 classified by individual information. On the other hand, the prepaid card 3 that does not meet the final requirement check is stored in the reject section assigned to one of the storage sections 11. The prepaid card issuing device according to the present invention is a series of processes that recognize the read recognition of the preprinted card number and the card number written on the magnetic recording surface as magnetic data and the read recognition of the data printed on the card surface. As a result, the processing efficiency can be improved.

[0009]

As described above, the present invention is different from the conventional prepaid card issuing device in that the backside print data reading / recognizing unit for reading the card number preprinted on the prepaid card and the data printed on the card surface. By adding a reading unit, the preprinted card number and the card number recorded as magnetic data are collated by only one device, and read to confirm the data printed on the card surface and for each individual information that the card has Since a plurality of storage units for storing the data in a classified manner are provided, there is an effect that the processing efficiency can be improved.
