Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely and automatically return a transaction medium to a customer who leaves the medium in a device, by returning the medium when a return request input data of the customer and information relating to the transaction made with the medium are coincident with each other. CONSTITUTION:When a card C after information processing is returned to an insertion slit 2, a detection cell 9 is kept in dark state. In this case, if the card C is not removed and the cell 9 is kept in dark state even after a prescribed time, a pulse motor 17 is driven, the card C is fetched in and stored in a storage 6. When the customer notices the card C left and inputs a return request input data, if the inputted data is coincident with the information relating to the transaction done with the card C, the motor 17 is started and the card in the storage is returned to the slit 2. Thus, the card C left in the storage can automatically be returned to the customer surely.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for collecting transaction media in a banknote transaction device or the like in which transactions are performed using media such as cards.

Conventionally, in bank retrieval devices that conduct transactions using cards, etc., a card inserted into an insertion slot is deposited and transported, information is processed based on this card, and then the card is returned to a return slot. However, if it is not removed for a predetermined period of time, it will be picked up again, transported, and collected in a collection warehouse. Therefore, even if you immediately notice that you have left a car behind, it will be collected in the collection warehouse after a predetermined period of time, making it easy to return the car (I couldn't do it twice).

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a method for collecting transaction media that can reliably and automatically return transaction media that have been forgotten and collected to the customer who forgot to take them. It's about doing.

1 shows a processing device for a card C as a transaction medium, in which 1 is a conveyance path for a card C inserted through an insertion slot 1 which also serves as a return slot for the card C.

This conveyance path 1 is constituted by a plurality of conveyance roller pairs 3..., and a shutter mechanism 4, a magnetic head 5, a holding section 6, and an engas section 1 are disposed in order from the insertion opening 2g. The terminal side faces the collection warehouse 1. In addition, 9, 10, 11° 12.13 are the first to fifth detection cells that optically detect the presence or absence of the card C, that is, when the car PC is present, it is "dark" and when it is absent, it is "bright". The first detection cell 9 is for entrance, the fourth detection cell 12 is for holding, and the fifth detection cell 13 is for collection.

Each of the primary transport roller pairs J... is composed of a drive roller 14 and a pinch roller 15.

A conveyor belt 16 is wrapped around the drive rollers 14 . . . , and the first pinch roller 15
is in rolling contact with the drive roller 14.

Further, the drive roller 14 is driven by a notarus motor 1r that can rotate in forward and reverse directions. Further, the pinch roller 15 disposed on the side of the insertion port 2 is controlled such that the pressing force is strong during transport (second is strong, and weak when not transporting).

The L shutter mechanism 4 opens and closes the conveyance path 1 by collecting liquid between the conveyance roller pair 1 on the side of the most insertion port 2 and the next conveyance roller pair 3, and opens and closes the conveyance path 1. The side pinch rollers 15 are interlocked to form a number. That is, the pressing force of the pinch roller IJ is strong when the shack 18 is opened and weak when it is closed.
The car PC is held down and conveyed only by the pinch roller 15 so that the conveyance force of the car PC does not change when the magnetic spatula Y1 processes information.

The holding section d is formed in the conveyance path 11, and the soil on the way to conveyance is
It is now possible to temporarily suspend DoC.

The 1st grade engineering part r is O1 which is carved in an uneven shape on card C.
! 1 number, etc., on a slip, etc.

The above-mentioned collection warehouse I accommodates and stores the collected cards C.

When the card C is inserted through the insertion slot 2 and the first detection cell 9 becomes "clear", the /YARSU motor 1r is activated and the shutter 1M is opened, and the card C is taken in and transported. Then, while being transported, the magnetic head 5
The information is processed in the encoder section 11, and the information is temporarily stopped in the encoder section 112. Then, after the engine pass operation is performed, the pulse smoke 11 is reversed and the card C is returned to the insertion slot 2, and a mini-return or collection is performed as shown in FIG. That is, first, the ejecting operation of the card C is performed. Then, after the first detection cell 9 is in the "dark" state and a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the armpit motor 11 stops and the shutter 18 closes. At this time, the card C is held with a portion thereof protruding from the insertion slot 2. Then, when this card C is removed from the customer's card and the first detection cell 9 becomes "bright", the transaction is completed and the next transaction can be executed from the initial stage.

On the other hand, when the card C is not removed and the detection cell 9 of @l remains in the "dark" state even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the falsification motor 1r starts to take in and transport the car PC.
Shack 18 opens.

Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed with the fourth detection cell 12 in the "dark" state, the pulse motor 1r is stopped. At this time, the card C is placed in the holding section 6 and held. Next, the customer forgot to take the card C. 1- When the customer realized that he had forgotten to take the card C, the customer pressed the button to input the return request input data, for example, the ID number, and this input ID number was entered as the card CI=. If the information related to the transaction, for example, matches the ID number written on the card C, the holding unit gc starts the pulse part 1r to return the held card C.
The ejecting operation of card C is performed, and the above Stella/ is repeated thereafter. Therefore, it is possible to reliably and automatically return the forgotten card C and the forgotten card C. Also, if the entered ID number and card (: memorized ID number) do not match, check this
If it does not match even if you press it three times or more,
Trading will be suspended.

On the other hand, if the next customer presses the item button to start a transaction before entering the ID number, the quantity motor 1r is activated and the previous customer's suspended card C is activated. It passes through the space section 1 and the fifth detection cell 13 one after another and is collected into the collection warehouse I. At this time, for example, when a payment operation is performed, after pressing the normal item Getan, the next customer's card C is taken in in a short time! = Move, but on the same transport path 1 and car P
Since the direction of taking in the card C and the direction of collecting the card C are the same, the operation of collecting the previous customer's card C and the operation of taking in the next customer's card C can be performed simultaneously by simply rotating the Nofrus motor 11 in a predetermined direction. . Then, when the car PC is collected, the next transaction is carried out.

Note that the present invention may be implemented by an apparatus having a configuration as shown in FIG. That is, main conveyance path 1# to p-)
A branch conveyance path 21 branches off via jO. This branch conveyance path 21 has a storage section 6 formed in the middle thereof, and faces the collection warehouse B at the end thereof. In addition, the above-mentioned main conveyance path. (Note that the same components as those in the device shown in FIG.
The car PC held on hold is not collected when the next customer starts, but is collected and stored in a collection warehouse 8 when the next customer forgets to take out the card. Therefore, the state in which the car) PC is held in the holding unit 6 is 1! ! 1: Card C is held until the next customer forgets the card even after the next customer makes a transaction.
can be automatically returned to the customer who forgot to take it.

In the above embodiment, only a card inserted by one customer was explained as a transaction medium, but it may also be a transaction medium such as a passbook inserted by a customer or a cash sheet released as a result of a transaction.

Returned banknotes that cannot be read by the automatic admission machine may also be used.

Also, return request-1! Although the ID number is entered as the return request data, the same effect can be obtained even if the account number is used as the return request data, since the primary customer cannot know the account number of the customer who forgot to take it.

In short, it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a transaction medium is taken in and transported, information processing is performed based on the recording medium, and then the medium is returned. If the medium is not removed for a predetermined period of time, it will be collected and held in the temporary storage unit. If they match, the media that has been put on hold will be returned, so customers who forgot to pick up the transaction media that were forgotten to be kicked can have excellent effects such as being able to automatically return one card. play.
