Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for managing a deposit apparatus, such as a night safe, which deposits contract objects such as cash, securities, or important items for each specific contract and automatically issues receipts.

In recent years, the spread and development of Yasao deposit systems has been remarkable, but in so-called unmanned depository devices used by specific customers, such as night safes, there is no exchange between the customer and the depositor. In order to prevent this, in the past, a time receiver was installed in the device, a receipt was issued each time each subscriber used the device, and records were kept at the same time.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a conventional deposit device.

In the figure, the front of the deposit device is provided with an authentication card reception port A, a contract object input port B, and a receipt issuing port C.

The authentication card is usually a magnetic card, and when the contract customer inserts the card into the reception port A, the magnetic head of the identification means A connected to the reception port A reads the identification code unique to each contract and determines acceptance or failure. Then, the input port B of the receiving means is unlocked. The contract customer opens input slot B according to the instructions on the display sD,
Inject the contract object such as cash. A sensor for detecting the insertion of the contract object is placed in the receiving means following the input port B, and the sensor adds up the number of items inserted and transmits the result to the time receiver C, which is the receipt certification means.

The time receiver C creates input information based on the number of inputs, the input time, and other predetermined items, prints out a receipt, and issues it from the ticket issuing slot C. At the same time, all or part of this input information is kept as a backup record by the recording means along with the identification code.

Such conventional devices and methods have the following drawbacks.

B. It is necessary to directly connect the time receiver C and the ticket issuing slot C, but since the time receiver C is large, the front panel becomes unnecessarily wide, and inspection of the device becomes troublesome.

In addition, time receivers require a large number of drive mechanisms, are prone to failure, consume a large amount of power, and require a large capacity backup power source in case of a power outage.

C. The receipt method takes time to print, send, cut, etc., and is slow to issue tickets.

Second, there is a limit to the length of the receipt paper, which requires replacing the paper, which is time-consuming, and if the paper is not replaced, tickets cannot be issued, causing distrust among customers.

Eh, customers often forget to take receipts, and there is even a risk that future Illags will take advantage of the receipts that the previous customer forgot to take.

Since records are generally rolled paper, they are bulky, making it difficult to store them, and they cannot be reused.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to manage a deposit device by using a small, economical, and easy-to-operate device, which allows quick proof of receipt, and improves the reliability of transactions. The purpose is to provide a method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an identification means for an identification code connected to a lead terminal of an IC card to read and convolve digital data, and an identification code for a contract object. Also serves as a means of proof of receipt,
A large W that issues receipts on behalf of the user by convolving the input information data and stores the digital data.
It is characterized by using a t-memory as a recording means.

So-called IC cards, which are equipped with active elements such as integrated circuits or chip-shaped memory elements in an embedded Wi-Fi structure, have the advantage that data will not be affected by magnetic shadows, deformation of the card, or dirt, and they are portable. Since it has the same convenience as conventional magnetic cards, it has recently become popular in various fields.

2(a) and 2(b) are plan views showing examples of IC cards, and FIG. 2(c) is a sectional view taken along line 1-11 in FIG. In the figure, the IC card is held in the integrated circuit part 2tjr: inside the main body part 1, but as shown in the figure (a), the integrated circuit s2 is held in the board surrounding holding plate 1a and 1.
In some cases, the chip is held between the plates in b, and in other cases, it is buried as a chip, as shown in the figure (portion IK').
In this case, one of the two chips has the function of a CPU.
In this example, one is an IJ element, and the other is an R, Otvt, ie, a memory element. In addition, Figure (A) is an example in which the integrated circuit glue terminal 2a is made to protrude from the side of the card, and Figures C (C) and (C) are the lead terminals 2a of the integrated circuit.
This is an example where b is exposed on the board surface of the card. Generally, there are a plurality of lead terminals, two of which are used for power supply, and the rest are used for address and data.

Hereinafter, the present invention using the above IC card will be explained in detail with reference to examples and drawings.

FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an example of a deposit apparatus suitable for carrying out the present invention. In the figure (1), the management and science system of the deposit device is controlled by a control unit 10 and a card number card writer 1 managed by the control unit 10.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing an example of a deposit apparatus in which the above-mentioned constituent means are installed, and FIG. 5 1 is a sectional view taken along the line I--P. In the figure, the numbers assigned to each component correspond to the numbers in FIG. 3.

The card reader/writer 11 is attached directly to the reception port A, and when the IC card 1 with the identification code stored in FROM is inserted into the receptionist 0, it is accepted and used as an identification means. Separate call.Control unit 10
determines the meeting, and in accordance with the determination result, instructs the electric lock 14 to unlock the input port B, and also sends a command to the display panel 13 to instruct the customer to operate. When an error occurs, an error recovery process is instructed.

When the electric lock 14 is unlocked and the input port B of the receiving means is opened, the customer inputs the contract object.

The first sensor 15 detects the input and sends a signal to the control unit 10. The second sensor 16 detects the state of the input port B and sends a signal to the control unit 10. Furthermore, the pushbutton 12 is used to control the control unit 1 according to instructions on the display panel 13 to indicate the intention of each player, such as the end of input.
It is a means of communicating to 0. The control unit 10 calculates the number of pieces put in by integrating the signals sent from the first sensor 15, and adds the month, day, and time information from the counter and timer inside the control unit side, and the continuous number of pieces.
Create input information data by adding program number data, etc.

This input information data is digitally coded.

At the end of loading, the card reader/writer 11 reads I
It is folded into C card 1. In addition, the digitally coded input information data, along with the identification code of each contract customer, is stored in a 70-tube disk unit 17, which is a recording means.
and recorded on the floppy disk 7. Of course, the storage medium in the present invention is not limited to a floppy disk;
Any memory that has a large capacity and can store digital codes will suffice. Although the control unit 10 is integrated with other means in FIG. 5, it may be installed at a remote location where it can be easily operated and inspected.
