Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention allows a customer to automatically take out or return his or her safe deposit box case from a storage shelf to a private room, that is, a coupon booth, when desired. In safe deposit box facilities that allow safe deposit box facilities, a receptionist is placed on the safe deposit box management side to instruct and manage customer entry into the private room, that is, the coupon booth, to prevent unnecessary persons from entering and exiting, and to remove the safe deposit box case at the time of reception. The present invention relates to a safe deposit box management device capable of shortening the time required for a customer to use a coupon booth by taking the coupon out to the coupon booth.

[Conventional technology]

An automatic safe deposit box device that automatically takes out a safe deposit box case from a storage location to a customer who is a contractor and automatically returns it to the storage location after use is a well-known technology that has already been shown in many patents and documents. It is something. Many of them install so-called automatic storage devices inside the vault,
When a customer or an instructor operates a key installed in a private room, they can automatically obtain their own safe deposit box case in the private room. To prevent the case from being removed, the contractor is given a so-called ID card with a recognition code attached, and the operation panel is equipped with an ID card code reader, and the ID card recognition code and the corresponding key input signal are read. A storage device is provided to store the combination, and the stored contents are compared with the actually read combination of recognition code and key input signal, and when the two match, the operation to take out the safe deposit box case of the customer is started. It was becoming like that.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that in the safe deposit box device as described above, one customer occupies the private room for a long time from key operation to taking out the safe deposit box case. for that,
There is a drawback that waiting times are unreasonably long during busy times, so one solution to this problem is a system in which customers who have obtained their own safe deposit box case can temporarily hand over the coupon booth to the next customer and then open the safe deposit box case at another location. was also considered, but compared to a case where a customer can take out, handle, and return their safe deposit box case in a single private room without being seen by others, there are three points of security, crime prevention, and confidentiality protection. Inferior. To eliminate these drawbacks, a safe system was proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 56-94296 in which even if multiple customers arrive at the same time, each customer uses a separate private room to obtain, handle, and return their own safe deposit box cases. Although it has been proposed, there is a risk that unnecessary persons may enter the private room area, and to prevent this, the idea of having a receptionist in that area was considered. However, in the above-mentioned system, the procedure for removing the safe deposit box case is started only after entering each customer's private room and operating the customer input device, which has the problem of further lengthening the time required.

In view of the above, the present invention places a receptionist in the private room area to prevent unnecessary persons from entering the private room area, and also transports the safe deposit box case to each private room as a preliminary operation. This automatic system is excellent in both efficiency and crime prevention, allowing customers to work safely in the private room until the customer returns the safe deposit box, greatly reducing the time it takes to obtain the safe deposit box case after entering the private room. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a safe deposit box management device.

[Means for solving problems]

In the present invention, the means for solving the above problems is to have a receptionist on the bank side, and at the reception desk, there is a card reader that reads the safe deposit box number from each customer's ID card, and the customer inputs the PIN number. A numeric keypad input means is provided, a card reader is provided at the entrance to each private room, the door is locked so that only designated customers can enter, and a storage device stores a comparison table of these, and when the verification results match. and a control device for allocating a less frequently used private room among vacant private rooms and transporting the safe deposit box case from the storage shelf corresponding to the safe deposit box number to the specified private room. This is a safe deposit box management device.

Multiple private rooms, or coupon booths, are arranged, and the entire private room area, including the waiting room (lobby), may be further separated from other areas by a partition wall, and each private room has a lockable door at its entrance. There is.
On the other hand, the storage shelves for safe deposit box cases are stacked in a matrix, and a stacker crane is used as the transport platform for taking out or returning safe deposit box cases. The transport unit that connects the safe deposit box and the coupon booth can be either a trolley or a conveyor. The control device consists of an information system control device that controls the information system and a main control device that controls the transport system, and also a CPU, input keyboard, and
It is equipped with a center console unit that includes a CRT display.

[Effect]

Verification will be performed twice, once at the reception desk at the entrance to the lobby and at the entrance to the private room. After the first verification at the reception desk, entrance examination to the private room area is carried out, the assignment of a private room and the transportation of the safe deposit box case are started at the same time, the customer enters the lobby, a second verification is carried out and the private room No time is wasted before entering the room. In the second verification, the suitability of the customer and the safe deposit box case is confirmed, and only then can the customer enter the private room and make the delivery. These are controlled by the information system control device and the main control device,

In FIG. 4, the coupon booth 2 is equipped with a return button 7a as a customer input device, a guide display 8, an announcement component 9, and an intercom 10 for contacting the bank in the event of an emergency or breakdown. A board is provided, and a handling section 2b is further provided in which the safe deposit box case 1a sent through the transport port 2a is presented to the customer. The handling section 2b is closed with an electric cover door 2c for security and safety reasons. The guide display 8 may be a CRT display, a liquid crystal display panel, a plasma display, or the like.

The coupon booth 2, as shown in FIG.
There are often multiple rooms, and people enter and exit from the lobby 3, which is a common waiting room, and the receptionist monitors or the lobby electric door 3a is used to prevent unnecessary people from entering the private rooms. It's getting old. In addition, at the entrance, there is a card reader 6 for entering the room to check the suitability between the customer and the safe deposit box case 1a delivered to the handling department 2b, and it is unlocked only when the suitability check is valid, and is locked when entering the room. A booth door 2d is provided.

A receptionist is placed at the entrance to the lobby 3, that is, the entrance to the private room area, and a reception card reader 6a, reception numeric keypad input means 7b, and center console unit 11 are arranged at the reception table. After the customer has verified his/her identity by checking the seal by the receptionist, the customer inserts his or her ID card into the reception card reader 6a and enters the numeric keypad input means 7 at the reception desk.
Enter your personal identification number using b. Those combinations are sent to the information system control device 13, and if the result is verified against the information stored in the storage device, the information system control device displays the private room number on the center console unit 11. A private room is specified to the customer, and the private room number is further instructed to the main controller 12.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a safe deposit box management device embodying the present invention. In Figure 1,
The safe deposit box management device includes a center console unit 11, a main control device 12, and information system control devices 13 and 2.
It is roughly configured with two storage devices 14 and 15 as main parts. The center console unit 11 includes a CPU, a CRT display, a keyboard,
It is composed of a printer, a memory disk, etc., and is connected to a main control device 12 and an information system control device 13, and two storage devices 14 and 15 are connected to the information system control device 13. In addition, the center side reception terminal 16x and each private room reception terminal 16
Each of a to 16n includes an input means, a display means, a storage means, etc., and is controlled by the main control device 12 via the information system control device 13. The input means of the center side reception terminal 16x are the reception card reader 6a and the reception numeric keypad input means 7b. The input means of each private room reception terminal 16a to 16n are the card reader 6 and return button 7a for each private room, and the display means is a guide display 8.
The recording means is for working memory, and records the year, month, day, time,
Record whether the safe deposit box case is brought in or taken out. The center console unit 11 includes each storage device 14.
and 15 to write or rewrite the safe deposit box number, password, combination comparison table, etc. The information system control device 13 is the center side reception terminal 1
When you receive input information for the lobby entrance (ID card safe deposit box number and PIN) from 6x, enter this information as
At the same time, the combination comparison table stored in the second storage device 15 is stored, and when a match is found, a message to that effect is displayed on the CRT display of the center console unit 11.

The main control device 12 is a circuit that controls all operations of each information system device and each transport system device, and
A stacker crane control device 17, a trolley control device 19, and an electric door control device 20 of the safe deposit box facility are directly connected. When the main control device 12 receives the safe deposit box number and private room number from the information system control device 13, it moves the stacker crane 5 to the storage shelf position of the safe deposit box and stores the desired safe deposit box case with the specified coupon. An operation signal is sent to each transport device to transport it to the booth. The safe deposit box case will be transported to the designated private room, but at that time, the electric door 1f will be opened only while the transport vehicle 4a passes the firewall 1e, and will be closed the rest of the time. It is controlled by an electric door control device 20. In addition, transport vehicle 4
Whether or not the safe deposit box case 1a has been delivered between a and the transfer port 2a of each coupon booth is confirmed by the photoelectric transmission means 19a to 19n provided at each transfer port, and based on the signal. The movement of the carriage 4a is controlled by the signal, and the main control circuit 12 uses the signal to control the safe deposit box case 1 requested from another private room.
Carry out the delivery or return work of a.

Next, a daily procedure for actually operating the above-mentioned apparatus according to the present invention will be explained.

When safe deposit box operations are started, the person in charge on the management side first inputs predetermined items such as date, time, person in charge code, etc. from the keyboard of the center console unit 11 shown in FIG. These pieces of information are compared with the contents registered in the second storage device 15, and if there are no contradictions,
The CPU goes into standby mode. Each means on the conveyance side can move by calculating the next position from the current position, so it is not necessarily necessary to return to the initial position.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operational procedure after a customer visits the safe deposit box. As shown in the flowchart, customers first go to Lobby 3.
Before entering the room, the user's identity is verified by a receptionist, and when permission is obtained, the user inserts his or her ID card into the reception card reader 6a, which is a reception terminal. When it is confirmed that the card is a regular card corresponding to the contract by checking with the second storage device 15 and inserted within three times, a pin code input instruction is displayed on the CRT of the center console unit 11. When displayed, the customer inputs the password using the reception ten-key input means 7b. The information system control device 13 compares the combination of the input safe deposit box number and PIN number with the comparison table stored in the second storage device 15, and if they match, that fact is displayed on the CRT of the center console unit 11. This is displayed on the display, and at the same time, the main controller 12 activates the stacker crane controller 17 and the trolley controller 19 to take out the corresponding safety deposit box case 1a from the storage shelf.

For example, when there are three coupon booths, the allocation of empty private rooms is performed as follows.

(a) When one room is in use and two rooms are vacant The information system control device 13 determines which coupon booth is empty, and allocates a coupon booth that is used less frequently among the empty coupon booths. This prevents the management person (receptionist) from accidentally assigning one coupon booth to two customers. Furthermore, since it is possible to prevent only a specific coupon booth from being used frequently or extremely infrequently, the equipment can be used evenly and inferiority of the equipment as a whole can be prevented.

(b) When one room is in use and one room is out of order and one room is vacant As in (a), normally the room would be assigned to the faulty room, but due to the fault, the status is displayed on the center console unit 11 and the room is vacant. Assign to the room. In response to this, the main control device 12 specifies a private room to be transferred to the trolley control device 19.
The customer inserts his/her ID card into the entry card reader 6, which is the reception terminal on the private room side of the designated coupon booth 2 from the lobby 3, and then enters the reception terminal 16x on the center side and the center console unit 11.
The information entered through the input device (whether or not the customer should enter the coupon booth) is verified. If the verification is valid, the booth door 2d becomes openable, allowing the customer to open the door, enter the room, and handle the safe deposit box case 1a that has been taken out. If the verification is an error, a warning is given to the customer using a display means such as the display 2e or an announcement component (not shown), and if this occurs three or more times in a row, a notification is displayed on the center console unit 11. I don't particularly care about these three numbers.

The customer who has entered the safe deposit box case 1a is carried out to the handling section 2b, and when the electric lid door 2c is opened, the customer can handle the items stored in the safe deposit box case 1a. At this time, if the lid electric door 2c is opened after confirming that the booth door 2d is locked, security will be increased.

When the customer finishes using the safe deposit box, the customer locks the safe deposit box case 1a, and when it is confirmed by the photoelectric transmission devices 19a to 19n that the safe deposit box case 1a is correctly stored, the main control device 12 controls the trolley control device 1.
9 and the stacker crane control device 17 to start the operation of returning the safe deposit box case to the storage shelf 1b, and close the electric lid door 2c. However, if the lid is not electrically operated, the main controller 12 may confirm that the customer locks the lid. The customer opens the booth door 2d and leaves the room. If the user attempts to leave the room without pressing the return button 7a, a check will be made when the booth door 2d is opened and a warning will be given via the announcement component 9 or the guidance display 8.

When the end signal is input, the main controller 12
The stacker crane control device 17 determines whether the safe deposit box case has been completely stored in the storage shelf 16 of the safe deposit box room 1 or whether the customer has left the private room 2.
It is judged based on the signals from the trolley control device 19 and the information system control device 13, and if everything is normal, each device is put into an initial state and put to rest.

All information from the time when the customer first indicates his/her intention on the center-side reception terminal until each device enters the hibernation state is processed by the information system control device 13 and temporarily stored in the first storage device 14. , the necessary items therein are recorded on the printer of the center console unit 11.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent unnecessary persons from entering the private room area, and moreover, by transporting the safe deposit box case to each private room as a preliminary operation, The time it takes to obtain a safe deposit box case after entering the room can be greatly reduced, and the system is excellent in both efficiency and crime prevention, allowing the customer to work safely in the private room during the usage time until the customer returns the safe deposit box case. A safe deposit box management device can be provided.

In addition, because the safe deposit box reception staff is manned, they have close contact with customers, which has the effect of being able to change sales activities and service operations for customers other than safe deposit box operations.

Furthermore, when allocating private rooms, the configuration in which the less frequently used private rooms are allocated from among the vacant private rooms allows the frequency of use of each private room to be averaged, so that the overall It is possible to prevent deterioration of the equipment, thereby extending the life of the equipment.
