Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a passbook handling method, and in particular, additional printing (hereinafter referred to as "attachment") to an already issued passbook and a new issue of the passbook are performed by the same device. It relates to a passbook handling method suitable for processing.

[Conventional technology]

In the passbook handling system, in order to perform the above-mentioned addition to the already issued passbook by the terminal device, a means for recognizing the unique information such as the account number of the passbook is required. Therefore, the attachment process is usually processed by a terminal device having an input means. For example, in the case of processing by the teller window device, the operator inputs the account number and the like described in the already issued passbook, communicates with the central computer, receives the processed data, and carries out the attachment. In addition, when processed by an automatic book-entry device, the automatic book-entry device automatically reads the information such as the account number written on the magnetic stripe of the issued passbook,
It communicates with the central computer, receives processed data and attaches it.

On the other hand, when a new passbook is issued, the passbook does not need to recognize the unique information and does not require an input means, and therefore is processed only by the output information.

For example, in the case of a passbook issuing device, the unprocessed passbook set in the device is processed and issued by the output data from the central computer.

As described above, under the present circumstances, new issuance of a passbook and attachment to an already-issued passbook are processed by different terminal devices.
Further, as another example, the passbook issuing device may carry out the insertion, which means that the operator interrupts the central computer by the interrupting means provided in the device to perform a new issuing process of the central computer. The unique information of the passbook to be interrupted or attached is transmitted, and the processing data corresponding thereto is received and processed.

A device related to this type of device is, for example, the device disclosed in JP-A-60-77262.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional technology has a problem that the management of the passbook becomes complicated when the new passbook issuing process of the passbook and the attaching process of the already issued passbook are performed by different terminal devices, and also in the passbook issuing device, In the case of interrupting the new issue processing of the central computer, if the new issue queue is stagnant in the central computer, the new issue queue is kept waiting, which is also inefficient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional passbook handling method, and to process both a new passbook issuance and an attachment by a passbook issuing device. In this case, it is an object of the present invention to provide a passbook handling method which does not require interruption to the new issue processing of the central computer and can be realized without an operator.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object of the present invention is to provide a passbook handling system including a terminal device which is connected to a central computer, receives new issue data generated from a new issue queue generated in the central computer, and issues a new passbook. A stack mechanism for already issued passbooks that need to be attached is provided, and the central computer is provided with a function for monitoring the presence or absence of the passbook in the new issue queue and the stack mechanism so that the new issue queue is "empty". , When the passbook in the stack mechanism is "present", drives the terminal device,
It is achieved by a passbook handling method characterized by attaching to an already issued passbook.

[Action]

When a new transaction occurs at the bank counter, the operator operates the teller terminal device or the like to send the new passbook issue data to the central computer. The central computer stores this data in a transaction queue file in the central computer as an output data queue of the passbook issuing device or the like. The stored new passbook issuing queue is sequentially output to the passbook issuing device or the like, and the new passbook issuing process is performed.

In the case where the data is added to the already issued passbook, the new issue queue can be simply set in the batch stack mechanism provided in the terminal device without interrupting the processing of the central computer as in the conventional case. Is “empty” and the passbook in the stack mechanism is “present”, the terminal device is driven,
The process of attaching to the already issued passbook is automatically performed.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of a passbook handling system showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a teller window device, 2 is a terminal control device for controlling various terminal devices, 3
Is a communication line connecting the terminal control device 2 and the central computer 4, 5 is a transaction queue file in the central computer 4, and 6 is a new data stored in the transaction queue file 5 when a new passbook issuance request is issued. Passbook issue queue, 7
Is a passbook issuing device connected to the terminal control device 2,
Reference numeral 8 denotes a forced interruption switch for urgent processing request, which is provided in the passbook issuing device 7, and 9 denotes a batch stacking mechanism for stacking passbooks to be loaded.

When a new transaction occurs at the bank teller, the operator operates the teller teller device 1 to request the central computer 4 to issue a new passbook via the terminal control device 2 and the communication line 3. The central computer 4 creates new passbook issuing data in response to the new passbook issuing request, and sequentially stores the new passbook issuing data in the transaction queue file 5 in the central computer 4 as a new issue queue 6 in the order of occurrence.

The stored new issue queue 6 stores the new passbook issuance data in order from the one that occurred first in the central computer 4.
Then, the data is transmitted to the passbook issuing device 7 via the communication line 3 and the terminal control device 2, and the passbook issuance is activated. In the passbook issuing device 7, the built-in passbook is printed and issued in accordance with the instruction of the new passbook issuing data.

At this time, if the generation of the new issue queue 6 in the transaction queue file 5 of the central computer 4 exceeds the processing capability of the new issue data of the passbook issuing device 7, the transaction queue file 5 in the central computer 4 contains New issue queue 6
Comes stagnant. Therefore, the processing capacity of the passbook issuing device 7 is designed to follow the generation speed of the new issuing queue 6 of the central computer 4.

When the stocking occurs, if it must be processed urgently by waiting for the customer, etc., the operator depresses the forced interrupt switch 8 provided in the passbook issuing device 7, and the batch stacking mechanism 9 or separately. Set in the passbook setting mechanism provided.

The central computer 4 detects that the forced interrupt switch 8 has been pressed, executes the new issue queue 6 if it is being processed, and does not perform the processing of the new issue queue 6 that follows. The attached processing is performed with priority.

In addition, when carrying out an emergency-free attachment such as an already-issued passbook brought back by a foreign agent, the operator collectively puts the passbook in the batch stack mechanism 9 provided in the passbook issuing device 7. Set it. The central computer 4 loads the passbook in the free time when the new issue queue 6 is not generated.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the transaction queue viewed from the central computer 4. The central computer 4 processes new issuance of a passbook and attachment to an already issued passbook as follows.

That is, when the processing is started, the central computer detects the state of the forced interruption switch 8 of the passbook issuing device 7 (step 11), and if pressed, prompts the operator through the display device of the passbook issuing device 7 or the like. , Proceed with a set of attached passbooks. When the operator sets the passbook to be attached, the central computer reads the magnetic stripe through the passbook issuing device 7 and receives the unique information such as the account number,
Corresponding attached data is generated and transmitted to the passbook issuing device 7. The passbook issuing device 7 carries out the attachment according to the attachment data (step 12).

If the forced interrupt switch 8 is not pressed, the central computer judges whether the transaction queue file 5 is "empty" (step 13). If it is "empty", then the information of the batch stack mechanism 9 is passed through the passbook. If it is received through the issuing device 7 and the batch stack mechanism 9 is not "empty" (step 14), the passbook is read, the magnetic stripe is read, the unique information such as the account number is received, and the corresponding attachment data is generated. , To the passbook issuing device 7. The passbook issuing device 7 carries out the attachment according to the attachment data (step 15).

If the forced interruption switch 8 is not pressed and the transaction queue file 5 is not "empty", the central computer 4 sends the new issue queue 6 as new issue data to the passbook issuing device 7 to issue a new passbook. (Step 1
6).

According to the above-described embodiment, the new issue of the passbook and the attachment to the already issued passbook are realized by the same device.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, in the passbook handling system including the terminal device which is connected to the central computer and receives the new issuance data generated from the new issuance queue generated in the central computer to newly issue the passbook, The terminal device is provided with a stack mechanism for an already issued passbook that requires additional printing, and the central computer is provided with a function for monitoring the presence or absence of the passbook in the stack mechanism so that the new issue queue is In the sky "
When the passbook is “present” in the stack mechanism, the terminal device is driven to perform additional printing on the already issued passbook. Therefore, the terminal device such as the passbook issuing device can issue a new passbook or add a passbook. In the case of processing both of them, it is not necessary to interrupt the new issuing processing of the central computer, and the remarkable effect that the passbook handling method that can be realized without the intervention of the operator can be realized.
