Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an information recording processing apparatus for reading information from an information recording medium, processing the information, and recording again on the information recording medium.

(Prior Art) For example, in a terminal device of a computer installed in a financial institution such as a bank, an operator performs various processing operations such as deposit and withdrawal using a passbook, for example. Usually, certain transaction information is magnetically recorded in this passbook. The operator causes the terminal device of the computer to read this information and further inputs various information using a keyboard or the like to proceed with the processing. A series of data recorded in such a passbook is called stripe data.

FIG. 2 shows an explanatory diagram showing the contents of conventional stripe data processing.

First, the operator uses the reading device 1 to read the stripe data 2 of the passbook. On the other hand, when the operator inputs the predetermined input data 4 using the keyboard 3, the stripe read data 5 is recognized by the computer.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the contents of such stripe data magnetically recorded in a passbook.

This data includes branch number 2a, reissue number 2b, passbook category 2
c, Course code 2d, Maru total code 2e, Account number 2f, Customer number 2g, Pre-remaining 2h, Number of lines 2i, 2j, 2m Conveniently 3 sets, Passbook number 2k and spare 2n . This stripe data has a total length of about 60 bytes.

The branch number 2a is the number of the branch that issued the passbook, and the reissue number 2b is a branch number given when the passbook is reissued due to loss or the like. The passbook classification 2c is data for identifying whether the passbook is a horizontal writing type or a vertical writing type. Further, the subject code 2d is data indicating the type of transaction object such as normal, regular, and current. The round total code 2e is data for identifying a general account when it is opened. The account number 2f is a number for identifying the account opened by this passbook, and the customer number 2g is data for identifying the customer. The remaining 2h is data that displays the deposit balance of the account. The number of rows 2i, 2j, 2m is data that displays the number of rows on a specified page of a passbook for entering transaction amounts, etc.For example, for transactions of ordinary deposits, use the number of rows 2i and For transactions, it is treated as using 2j rows. The passbook number 2k is a number assigned to identify the passbook. In addition to this, a spare area 2n is provided.

On the other hand, FIG. 4 shows a specific example of the input data 4 by the operator shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, the operator inputs, for example, the branch number 2a, the reissue number 2b, the account number 2f, the remaining number 2h and the line number 2i from the keyboard 3 shown in FIG. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a certain additional data 6 is separately determined by this transaction, and further a certain data 8 is sent in accordance with an instruction from the host computer 7.

FIG. 5 shows an example of data determined by this transaction. The contents are, for example, passbook category 2c, subject code
It is 2d and the total code 2e.

Further, FIG. 6 shows an example of data instructed by the host computer 6. The contents are the branch number 2a, the reissue number 2b, the account number 2f, the remaining 2h and the number of lines 2i.

That is, after that, the data determined by the transaction shown in FIG. 5 and the data designated by the host shown in FIG.
Stripe write data 9 is created by combining with the stripe read data 5 of FIG. Then, this is written again in the passbook stripe by the recording device 10. As a result, a part of the stripe data shown in FIG. 3 is updated.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in the above-mentioned processing, a part of the stripe data recorded in the passbook is updated by a series of processing by the operator. This may cause the stripe data to be destroyed.

For example, in the stripe data shown in FIG. 3, the account number 2f and the customer number 2g cannot be rewritten except in special cases. Nevertheless, if the operator mistakenly rewrites this portion, a serious mistake occurs such that the transfer is made to an account other than the intended transfer destination.

Not only stripe data of passbooks, cash cards and
Fixed information that should not be rewritten in an apparatus such as an IC card that reads information from an information recording medium that has rewritable information recorded, performs predetermined information processing, and rerecords the information on the information recording medium. Is often rewritten by mistake and various troubles occur.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above points, and of the information recorded on the information recording medium, the fixed information that is prohibited from being erased or changed can be effectively protected and information that can be accurately processed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording processing device.

(Means for Solving the Problems) An information recording processing apparatus according to the present invention includes an information recording medium on which rewritable information is recorded, information reading means for reading information on the information recording medium, and an internal protection level of the information. High-speed fixed information for temporary storage, an information processing means for processing the information by a predetermined business process to create processed data, and a predetermined business process for the purpose of comparison. A comparison unit that compares the fixed information in the processed data with the fixed information stored in the save memory, and when the fixed information is matched by the comparison unit and by a predetermined business process, designation of comparison of the fixed information is performed. If not, the processed data is re-recorded on the information recording medium, and if the fixed information does not match by the comparison unit, the processed data is re-recorded on the information recording medium. And an information re-recording unit that does not.

(Operation) The above-described device saves the fixed information, which is recorded on the information recording medium and has a high protection level, which is prohibited from being erased and changed, in the save memory before the information is processed. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the fixed information is rewritten in the processed data re-recorded on the information recording medium. When the fixed information has not changed or when the business processing forcibly rewriting the fixed information, the re-recording is performed as it is, and if it has changed, the business processing is redone without re-recording.

With the device of the present invention, fixed information is protected as described above.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an information recording processing apparatus according to the present invention.

In the figure, an information recording medium 20 is a medium in which rewritable information such as a bankbook, a magnetic card, and an IC card is recorded. The information processing means 30 comprises an information reading means 31, an information processing means 32, a save memory 33, a comparing section 34, a judging section 35 and an information rerecording means 36.

The information reading means 31 is composed of, for example, a magnetic head for reading the stripe data of a passbook. The information processing means 32 is composed of a terminal device, a host computer, etc., which processes the read stripe data in a procedure according to the intended business. The save memory 33 is a temporary memory for storing the fixed information 40 of the information read by the information reading means 31. It comprises, for example, a random access memory.

The comparison unit 34 is the processed data processed by the information processing unit 32.

The 34 is configured to output the comparison result 42, which can distinguish between the case where the comparison results are coincident and the case where they are not coincident, to the determination unit 35. The determination unit 35 outputs the prohibition signal 43 to the information re-recording unit 36 when the comparison result 42 does not match. The information re-recording means 36 is composed of a write head or the like for re-recording the processed data 41 received from the comparison section 34 on the information recording medium 20.

The operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 will be described in comparison with the operation of the conventional apparatus shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of stripe data processing according to the device of the present invention.

Compared with FIG. 2, this process is different in that after the stripe read data 5 is prepared, the stripe data saving process 11 is performed and the compare check process 12 with the stripe write data 9 is performed.

That is, in the present invention, before the information processing is started, fixed fixed information is saved in advance from the prepared stripe read data 5 in the memory.

FIG. 8 shows an explanatory diagram of the save processing of the stripe data.

The structure of the stripe data shown in this figure is the same as that shown in FIG. 3, but in the stripe data saving processing 11 shown in FIG. 7, the account number 2f and the customer number 2g of this stripe data are And save memory 33 (first
(Fig.)

Then, when the certain information processing is completed and the stripe write data 9 is obtained, the compare check processing 12 is executed.

FIG. 9 shows an explanatory diagram of the stripe compare check process.

In the figure, this stripe data is shown in FIGS.
A part of it has been rewritten with the data in the figure, but it contains account numbers 2f 'and 2g',
It is assumed that this data is prohibited from being rewritten, that is, erased and changed during this business processing. Here, the account number 2f and the customer number 2g saved in the procedure shown in FIG.
Account number 2f ′ after being read from the memory for saving and processed,
A compare check with the customer number 2g 'is performed. If the result of comparing the two is unchanged, the stripe data after this processing is re-recorded in the passbook.

In FIG. 1, the evacuation memory 33 is a part for storing the account number 2f and the customer number 2g, and the comparing part 34 designates the account number 2f ′ and the customer number 2g ′ shown in FIG. 9 as the account number 2f. This is the part to compare with the customer number 2g. Then, the determination unit 35 determines whether or not to permit re-recording of information based on the comparison result 42.

A more specific processing flow of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart of stripe data processing of the device according to the present invention.

First, prior to the processing, the initialization performed when the terminal is started up or the failure is restored (step
S1). Next, transaction pre-processing is executed by data input from an operator, input of a passbook magnetic stripe, etc. (step S2). Immediately after that, the save processing of the stripe data is executed (step S3).

FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of this stripe data saving processing.

As shown in the figure, this process saves the account number (step S1) and then saves the customer number (step S1).
S2) Exit the subroutine.

Returning to the main routine of FIG. 1 again, following this saving process, a process of transmitting the transaction contents to the host computer is executed (step S4). During the transaction transmission process, the transaction content is saved as stripe write data (step S5). When the data corresponding to the transaction content is received from the host computer (step S6),
Stripe write data is created based on the received message (step S7). Here, the stripe compare check process is executed (step S8). This is a process of comparing the previously saved stripe data with the processed stripe write data.

FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of this compare check process.

In this process, first, it is determined whether or not the compare check is performed depending on the type of work (step S1). That is, in normal business transactions, the account number and customer number are not rewritten, but in specific business transactions, both may be forcibly rewritten. In such a case, this subroutine is immediately exited on the assumption that the compare check is normally completed without performing the check. Further, in the case of a business process of performing a compare check, it is first determined whether or not the account numbers are the same (step S2). Then, it is subsequently determined whether the customer numbers are the same (step S3). In either case, if the saved data and the data after business processing do not match, stripe clear,
That is, the re-recording of the stripe write data 9 is prohibited, and the business process is executed again from the beginning.

In the main routine of FIG. 10, when the stripe compare processing is normally completed and the account number and the customer number are not changed, the stripe data is re-recorded in the passbook and the transaction end processing is performed (step S9), and all The process ends.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

The present invention can be widely applied not only to a passbook but also to an apparatus for reading data recorded on an IC card or the like, performing certain information processing and then rerecording the data.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the information recording processing apparatus of the present invention described above, fixed information having a high protection level in the information recording medium is saved in advance, and when the information is changed after the information processing, the information recording is performed. Since the re-recording on the medium is prohibited, it is possible to prevent an accident such that important information in the information recording medium is erased or changed by mistake.

On the other hand, in the case of a business process that changes the fixed information, it can be forcibly changed.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent accidents such as erroneous data being written in the information recording medium at a financial institution, for example, and being accidentally debited from another person's account.
