Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an external centralized recognizing device to perform the batch processing of data read out of prepaid cards when the prepaid cards are issued. CONSTITUTION:This prepaid card issuing device is equipped with a rear surface data read part 5 which reads data written on the rear surface of the prepaid card, a magnetic data read part 6 which reads magnetic data, a magnetic data write part 7 which writes issue conditions, a magnetic data read part 8 which reads the written issue conditions, a front surface printing part 9 which prints data on the front surface, a front surface data read part 10 which reads the print, and a control part 15 which sends the data read by the respective parts to the centralized recognizing device 16 as a host device and receives its processing result. Then the centralized recognizing device 16 controls plural prepaid card issuing devices 1. Consequently, when the devices are installed, the devices are reducible in size.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prepaid card issuing device, and more particularly to a prepaid card issuing device for collectively processing data at the time of checking card issuing requirements by an external centralized recognition device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of prepaid card issuing device has read card front surface data and back surface data and recognized the read data in the same device.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional prepaid card issuing device, since the structure has a recognition unit in the same device, when a plurality of prepaid card issuing devices are used, the recognition processing cannot be unified. There is a drawback that the device becomes large.

[0004]

A prepaid card issuing device according to the present invention includes a first reading unit for reading first data written on the back surface of a prepaid card, and a magnetic surface of the prepaid card. Second reading the second data
Reading unit, a data writing unit that writes third data, which is a requirement for issuing the prepaid card, on the magnetic surface of the prepaid card, and a third data reading unit that reads the third data written by the data writing unit. Reading unit, a printing unit that prints fourth data on the surface of the prepaid card, a fourth reading unit that reads the fourth data printed by the printing unit, and the prepaid card received A plurality of storage units for storing corresponding to, a data input unit for previously inputting the corresponding data of the prepaid card and the plurality of storage units, a display unit showing the guide information at the time of input and the operating state of the device, If the prepaid card does not meet the requirement check, a reject unit that ejects the peripaid card without performing the issuing process, and the first to fourth readings There is provided a control unit which receives the result of sending the data read respectively to the host device, and said host system has processed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 are a perspective view, a vertical cross-sectional view and a block diagram showing a main configuration, respectively, showing an embodiment of a prepaid card issuing device according to the present invention. In each figure, 1 is a prepaid card issuing device, 2 is an insertion part of a prepaid card, and a prepaid card 3 as a processing medium is inserted into the insertion part 2. Further, 4 is a route along which the prepaid card 3 is conveyed. Reference numeral 5 is a backside data reading section including an ink character reader or an optical character reader, and 6 is a magnetic data reading section for reading data magnetically recorded on the magnetic surface of the prepaid card 3.
Reference numeral 7 is a magnetic data writing unit for writing requirements for issuing to the prepaid card 3, and 8 is a magnetic data reading unit for confirming the data written by the magnetic writing unit 7. Reference numeral 9 is a printing unit for displaying an individual issuance request (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 10 shows the printed data. It is a reading unit to confirm.

Reference numeral 11 is a plurality of storage units, and 12 is a reject unit, from which the prepaid card 3 as a processing medium is ejected. Reference numeral 13 is a data input unit including a keyboard and the like, and 14 is a display unit, and is composed of, for example, a CRT (cathode tube display), VFD (fluorescent tube display) and the like. 15 is the back side data reading unit 5 of the prepaid card.
And a control unit for transmitting the read data from the surface data reading unit 10 to the external centralized recognition device 16 and receiving the recognition result.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, the data input section 13 is operated to input the individual information about which kind of the prepaid card 3 should be stored in which storage section 11. Next, the prepaid card 3 is inserted from the insertion portion 2. Then, in the prepaid card 3, the preprint data is read by the back side data reading unit 5, the read data is transmitted from the control unit 15 to the external centralized recognition device 16, and the recognition result is received, which is not described in this figure. Stored in backside data storage.

Subsequently, after the data pre-recorded on the peripaid card 3 as magnetic recording data is read from the magnetic data reading section 6, the prepaid card 3 that matches the requirement check further has the issuing requirements magnetically. It is written by the data writing unit 7. Then, the written data is confirmed by the magnetic data reading section 8 and, after the requirement is further checked, the individual issuance requirement is printed by the front surface printing section 9. Next, in order to confirm the content of the print data, it is read by the front surface data reading unit 10 and is recognized by the external centralized recognition device 16 via the control unit 15. The recognition result is stored in the back surface data storage unit, which is not described in this figure, like the back surface recognition data.

Finally, the front and back data stored in each storage unit is collated, and the prepaid card 3 that matches the requirement check is stored in the plurality of storage units 11 in order of individual information. In addition, the prepaid card 3 that does not match the final check is ejected by the reject unit 12.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the control unit for transmitting / receiving the recognition data to / from the external centralized recognition device is provided, it is possible to unify the recognition processing in the prepaid card issuing business using a plurality of units. There is an effect that the prepaid card issuing device can be downsized.
