Next, the effects of the card processing mechanism section 24A and the slip processing mechanism section 24B configured as described above will be explained. When the card P is inserted through the card slot 6, the first detector 100 consisting of a light emitting diode and a light receiving element detects the card P, energizes the solenoid 101, and releases the shutter 10.
Open 2.

When the card P is further pushed in, the conveying roller pair 103 rotates, and the card P is conveyed along the card conveying section L+, and further conveyed by the second conveying roller pair 104A, but the card P being conveyed is Jl5. -If the card complies with type ■ of B-9560 (there is magnetic information on the surface of the card),
The magnetic information of the card P is read by the upper first magnetic head 105A. On the other hand, the card P being transported is JI
If it complies with type ■ of S-B-9560 (there is magnetic information on the back of the card), the first magnetic head 1 on the top
05A without any action, and is further conveyed by the third pair of conveying rollers 104B on the back side, while the second conveyor roller at the bottom
The magnetic information of the card P is read by the magnetic head 105B. The further conveyed card P is shown in FIG. 5 (△>,
As explained based on (E3), if different transaction information is recorded on both the front and back sides of the card, the first magnetic head 105A and the second magnetic head 105B sequentially read the magnetic information on both the front and back sides of the card. It will be done. When reading magnetic information from the front, back, or both sides of the card P in this way, the distance between the first magnetic head 105Δ and the second magnetic head 105B is larger than the length of the card along the transport direction. Therefore, when the second magnetic head 105B reads magnetic information from the card, the card has already passed the first magnetic head 105A, and the card enters the second magnetic head 105B (i.e., j
It is possible to completely prevent the unstable reading state of the first magnetic head 105A caused by the impact exerted on the card when the No. 5 card enters the nip portion of the third pair of transport rollers 104B. When the magnetic information is read from both sides of the guide P, only the transaction information desired by the customer is read out through the transaction instruction on the operation guidance display section 4. If the card P is read correctly, the card P
Conveyance of the card P continues, the position of the card P is detected by the third detector 109, and the card P is temporarily stopped at a predetermined position Pc (see FIG. 4). Since such transportation of the card P is carried out using the pulse motor 111 as the drive source as described above, the stopping position of the card P is guaranteed by controlling the number of pulses. on the other hand,
The slip R is folded in two sheets and is pulled out by a sprocket wheel 120A and guided between a print head 122 and a platen 123 of a printing device 121, where it is printed in two sheets. Slip R passed through the printing device 121
is separated by a separating plate 124 into a receipt R1 to be handed to the customer and a journal R2 to be wound up as a record of the transaction, and the receipt R1 is separated by a first separating roller pair 125A as shown in FIG.
, 125B to the second separation roller pair 128A, 128
It is transported to B.

Then, the receipt R1 is transferred to the second separation roller pair 128Δ, 1
Immediately after reaching and being nipped at 2813, the drive motor 139 for feeding the slip is stopped, and the first separating roller pair 125A,
While the rotation of the pair of separation rollers 125B is stopped, the drive motor 145 for transporting the receipt is not stopped and the second pair of separation rollers 128A and 128B continue to be driven to rotate. Then, the tension applied to the receipt R1 gradually increases, and as the tension increases, the receipt R1
In the vicinity of the contact surface 1301Δ, that is, as shown in FIG. It becomes non-uniform depending on the intersecting direction, and reaches its maximum at approximately the center in the transverse direction of the receipt R1. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The receipt Rr- related to the transaction is divided into single sheets by being torn along the lines. Then, the torn receipt R1 is placed on the curved guard 129. It will be discharged to the receipt outlet 134 via the turn guide pair 131 and the discharge belt system 132, 133, etc.

When converting receipt R1 into single sheets in this way, a conventional cutter (fixed blade, movable blade, etc.) is not used, so the structure for converting receipts into single sheets can be simplified, and there is no need for contact with the cutter. It is possible to prevent receipts from getting jammed due to this, and it also eliminates the need for periodic replacement of the cutter, making maintenance easier. On the other hand, the journal R2 separated by the separation plate 124 is emboss printed by an emboss imprinter 135 that suppresses and transfers the 1 emboss mark 301A (see FIG. 6), which is the embossed part of the card P, and then wound up by the journal winding device 137. It will be done.

Here, the aforementioned card P was stopped for 10 minutes at the predetermined position P1, and this position is the emboss print position. In the embossing imprinter 135 of this device, the thin plate 1 is placed between the journal guides 151 as shown in FIG.
51A so that the journal R2 inside the embossing imprinter 135 is guided by the entire surface.
The journal R2 being conveyed is connected to both journal guides 1
The thin plate 151A is interposed between the embossing roller 115 and the journal R2 during embossing printing.
Even if there is a height difference on the upper end surface of 1A, the pick plate 151A bends to follow the height difference of the emboss mark 301A due to its flexibility, and the pressing force from the embossing roller 115 acts uniformly on the journal R2, resulting in a clear embossing. Printing (press transfer) can be realized. When this card is discharged, it is discharged from the card entrance 6 in the reverse order of the case described above. Further, if the card P has lost its validity as a result of reading the magnetic contents of the card P, the card P will be collected. In this case, the cards P conveyed to position P1 in FIG. 4 are further conveyed by the drive of the pulse motor 111, slide and move on the collection chute 144, and are accumulated. By the way, the tip of the card P that is returned to the card slot 6 without being collected will always be located above the recess 5A (see Fig. 4), which is inward of the frontmost part 5 of the housing 1, as described above. There is no collision with the customer's body, and therefore there is no inconvenience such as damage to the card.

Next, the structure of the dispensing banknote processing mechanism section 25 will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 200 in the same figure is a banknote storage box, and as explained based on FIG. Banknote storage 20 for

Next, the control section 26 of the device of this embodiment will be explained. , FIG. 9 is a block diagram of the configuration of the apparatus of this embodiment. The reference numeral 400 in FIG. 9 is a transaction device of this embodiment, in which the control section 26 includes a card processing mechanism section 24A and a slip processing mechanism section 24B.

Dispensing banknote processing mechanism section 25. It is configured to be connected to the operation guide display section 4 and the internal monitor 401.

Further, the device M400 of this embodiment uses a switched line to connect a central processing unit such as a central calculator 4021 located in a bank's information processing center, a maintenance transmission/reception processing device 403 installed in a maintenance department for this transaction device, or this transaction device. Security transmission/reception processing device 404 installed in the security department for <'
It has been developed so that it can be selectively connected to any other device.

Note that the connection of the switched line is performed by the line connection unit 26 based on a control signal from the main control unit 26A provided in the control unit 26.
Get used to it as B does. In addition, the internal monitor 401
has various input means used only for operations by the staff, and at least the line number for connecting the exchange line to the center accounting machine 402, the maintenance transmission/reception processing device 403, and the security transmission/reception processing device @404 is input. As line number input means, for example, a line number registration mode setting key 401A and a line number input key 401B for inputting a line number are provided.

Here, the main function realizing means of the control section 26 will be explained. It is configured to realize the following functions (a) to (e).

(b) When an operation to cancel the Ba identification number entered using the numeric keypad 12△ is performed via the cancellation key 12D, the number of cancellations is recorded by the first and second magnetic heads 10.
Node J-P magnetic stripe 3 via 5A, 105B
When the number of cancellations recorded in 02A and 302B reaches a predetermined value, for example 4f3, transactions with the card P are made impossible.

(b) An exchange line is connected to the center computer 402 based on the output from the customer detection means 9 that detects the approach of a customer.

(c) When the transaction device is operating normally, the exchange line is connected to one center in total.
11402, and when an abnormality occurs when counting banknotes to be discharged or updating cards to be discharged, the exchange line is switched and connected to the maintenance transmission/reception processing device 403 and security transmission/reception processing device 404.

(d) If the PIN number entered on the numeric keypad 12/l\ for the first time is not valid, the customer's PIN number is received from the center computer 402 and sent to the main control unit 2.
The transaction device stores the password in the memory 26a of the transaction device 6A, and verifies the validity of the password input from the second time onward by comparing the stored password with the input password.

(e) Center computer 402 and maintenance transmission/reception processing device 40
3 or the line number registration mode setting key 401A and line number entry key 401 when registering the line number for connection to the security transmission/reception processing device 404 by the operation of the staff member.
The exchange line is connected based on the line number input through B, and a confirmation signal is sent, and this I! After receiving the response signal to the doubled signal, the line number is stored and registered in the memory 26a in the main control unit 2θΔ, which is a line number storage means.

Next, the overall operation of the apparatus of the above embodiment will be explained.

First, the operation of registering a line number based on an operation by an attendant will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The line number σ record mode setting key 4 explained in FIG.
01Δ is pressed by the staff member (step S1), and then the line number to be registered 1, for example, the line number to the center 81 and the smart phone 402, is input via the line number entry key 401B (step S2). The line will be connected using the line number specified (step 83). Then, a confirmation signal is transmitted from the control unit 26 via the connected line (step S4), and then the center subtraction machine 40
It is determined whether there is a reception from 2 (step S5).
), if it is determined that it has not been received, the determination in step S5 is repeated until a timeout occurs (step 6).

When it is determined in step S5 that the received signal has been received, it is determined whether the received content corresponds to a connection confirmation signal or is a response signal (step S7), and if so, the line number is determined by the control unit. Memory 26 in 26
a, and the line number is registered (step Se). Note that when it is determined that the timeout has occurred in step S6, or that it is determined that the response signal is not a response signal in step S7, an error is displayed (step Ss) and the registration process is terminated (in the case of an error, the staff will have to redo the line number registration process). In addition, the maintenance transmission/reception processing device 4
03 or the security transmission/reception processing device 404, the process is similar to the process of registering the line number of the center i1 bell machine 402, so a detailed explanation of the operation will be omitted. As described above, according to the device of this embodiment, when registering a line number, it is possible to register an accurate line number with an extremely simple operation, and it is possible to completely prevent troubles due to incorrect registration of a line number.

Next, Figure 11 (A) shows the operation during transactions based on customer operations.
The explanation will be centered on the flowcharts shown in ~('E). “Card insertion” is displayed on the operation guidance display section 4 (step 510), and then the customer detection means 9
A determination is made as to whether a customer is approaching the device based on the output from the device (step 511). When it is determined that the customer is approaching, the line connection operation from the center to the 1tlWII 402 is started (step 512). Since the exchange line connection is started based on the approach of the customer in this way, the time required to complete the exchange line connection is shortened compared to the case where the exchange line connection is started only when communication with the center 1tW1402 is required. This makes it possible to conduct transactions quickly.

When the card is inserted (step 513), its contents are checked (step 514), and if the result of the check (step 515) is unfavorable, "
``To counter'' is displayed (step 516).
, a switching line disconnection process is performed (step 517).

Note that when the message "Go to counter" is displayed, the customer goes to the counter and inquires to the staff. Step S above
15, if the other results are positive, a display of "insert PIN" is displayed (step 52o), and when it is determined that the timeout has occurred as a result of the determination of timeout (step 521), the card is inserted into the card entrance 6. The card P is returned (step 522) and the message [Please remove the card and start over] is displayed (step 523), and when the customer removes the card P (step 524), the exchange line is disconnected. (Step 5)
25) The operation is terminated. Further, if it is determined that the timeout has not occurred as a result of the determination in step 821, then a determination is made as to whether or not to input the PIN (step 827>, and step 821 and step S
The determination in step 27 is repeated.

When it is determined that the PIN number has been entered, the first
As shown in Figure 1 (B), it is determined whether the information read from the predetermined areas of the magnetic stripes 302A, 302B of the inserted card P is the customer's PIN number or other special code such as an account number. (step 828).

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the code is not a special code, that is, if the PIN number is magnetically recorded in the magnetic stripes 302A and 302B, the magnetic stripe 302
It is determined whether the password read from A or 302B matches the password input by the customer's operation (step 530).

Further, when it is determined that the code is a special code as a result of the determination in step 82B, that is, when the magnetic stripes 302Δ, 3
When the PIN number is not recorded in 02B but the account number is recorded, it is first determined whether the current PIN verification is the first verification (step 531).
), if it is not M1100 verification, the step 830
will be moved to When it is the first verification, the message "Communicating" is displayed (step 532), and the account number, which is a special code, and the PIN number input based on the customer's operation are sent to the center computer 402 using an exchange line. Then, the PIN number searched by the center counter 402 based on the transmitted account number and the result of matching this PIN with the transmitted PIN number are sent to the center ATM 402. From then on, a reception process is performed using an exchange line (step 534), and it is determined whether the password input by the customer's operation is correct based on the verification result of the reception process (step 535). As a result of the determination in step 835, if it is determined that the input password is incorrect, step S34
The correct PIN number received and processed by is stored in the memory 26a in the main control unit 26A (step 836).
. The password stored in this way is used in step 8 above.
31 and step S3o for the second and subsequent PIN verification (in this case, the PIN verification in step 830 is based on the PIN stored in the memory 26a and the customer's operation). (This is to determine whether the PIN number matches the input PIN number), there is no need to send and receive data to and from the center measuring machine 402 each time the PIN number is verified, thereby reducing the time required to verify the PIN code and, in turn, shortening the transaction time. can do. When the determination result in step S30 is rNOJ, or after step 83B, it is determined that the cancel key 121) has been pressed (step 5).
38). When it is determined that the card has been canceled as a result of this determination, the main controller I Rlf 26 controls the number of cancellations read from the storage area in the magnetic stripes 302A and 302B of the card P.
Place a number in the IR erase counter 26h in A and set the value to [11
(step 839), then add this cancellation counter 2
It is determined whether the value of 6b is a predetermined value, for example "3" (step $40). When it is determined that the value is not the predetermined value, the number of cancellations stored in the cancellation counter 261+ is stored in the card storage area by the magnetic heads 105A and 105B, and the card P is returned to the card entrance 6 (step 541), and then a message "Please remove your card and start over" is displayed (step 542), and when the customer removes the card P (step 543), the exchange line is disconnected. (Step 544) The operation ends. In addition, if it is determined in step Sao that the PIN number is the predetermined value, it is assumed that the unauthorized user of the card is inputting the PIN number at random, and the message "Go to counter" is displayed (step 545).
) and line disconnection processing (step 846) are performed, and the operation ends. Appropriate measures will be taken against unauthorized users at the counter. In this way, when the number of cancellations reaches a predetermined value, transactions with the card P are made impossible, so that unauthorized use of the card can be reliably prevented.

If it is determined in step 83B that the correction is not canceled, it is determined whether the number of errors is three based on the number of presses of the correction key 12G (step 848). When it is determined that the number of errors is three, the validity number read from the storage area in the magnetic stripes 302A and 302B of the card P is placed in the validity counter 26c in the main control unit 26A and the value is set to that value. [1] is added (step 849), and then this validity counter 26C is added.
It is determined whether the value is a predetermined value, for example "2".
Step 5so). When it is determined that the validity number is not the predetermined value, the validity number stored in the validity counter 26c is the magnetic head 105A.

105B, the card P is stored in the storage area of the card P, and the card P is returned to the card entrance 6 (7JI).
Step 851), and the message "Please remove the card and start over" is displayed (Step 552).
Then, when the card P is removed by the customer (step 553), the exchange line is disconnected (step 5).
54) The operation is terminated. In addition, if it is determined in step Sso that the value is the predetermined value, the Ministry of Card Misuse assumes that the code number is input at random, and
Display of window “Go to 1” (step 555) and line disconnection process 1
! I! (Step 856) is performed and the operation ends. Appropriate actions will be taken at the counter for unauthorized users of A3. In this way, the validity number recorded based on the number of errors is a predetermined value of 1i (as soon as the number of errors is reached, it becomes impossible to perform transactions with the card P, so it is possible to reliably prevent fraudulent use of the card. .Furthermore, if it is determined in step 848 that the number of errors is not 3, the message [Press the correction key to try again] is displayed (step $58), and if the customer subsequently presses the correction key. Step 559), Figure 11 (
The process returns to step 320 shown in A) to input the repeat password.

Further, when it is determined in step S30 or step S'35 that the rYEsJ, that is, the PIN entered by the customer, is valid, the message "insert amount" is displayed as shown in FIG. 11(C) (step 5eo).
). After that, when the key is pressed manually by the customer's operation (step 561), it is determined whether the input key is the 10,000 yen key 12E (
Step 562), verification key 12B or not Step 5
63) or step $64) as to whether or not the correction key 12C is used, and a determination as to whether there is a timeout is made (step 565). When it is determined that the Song 10,000 yen key has been pressed in step 862, it is determined whether the amount has exceeded (step 866), and if the amount has exceeded, the message "Please re-enter within the limit" is displayed. After that (step S67), the process returns to the Mff step Set. If it is determined in step S64 that the correction key has been pressed, or if it is determined in step Sss that a timeout has not occurred, the process returns to step 861. When it is determined that the timer is 1- (step 565), the card P is returned to the card slot 6 (step 570) and the message "Please remove the card and try again from the beginning" is displayed (step 570). 571) is performed, and after the customer takes out the card P (step 572), the line disconnection process is performed (step 573).
) the operation is terminated.

If it is determined in step 863 that the verification key has been pressed or if it is determined in step Sss that the amount has not exceeded, the message "Communicating" is displayed as shown in FIG. 11 (step 575). So°
After that, the information entered by the customer's operation is transmitted to the center calculation [402] (step 87).
B) Pre-printing and invoice printing are performed on the slip via the slip processing mechanism section 24B etc. (Step 5)
77). In addition, when you print, the transaction date 1 type (ordinary deposit or current account, etc.) 9. Transaction type (deposit or withdrawal)
The bank number, branch number, account number, transaction amount, etc. will be printed. After performing reception processing from the center computer 402 (step 87B>, the center computer 402
It is determined whether or not a transaction has been established from step 2 (step 579).
). If the transaction is unsuccessful, the card is updated by rewriting the information in the magnetic stripe if necessary (step 58).
0), it is determined whether an abnormality such as an abnormality in writing magnetic information has occurred during this card update (step 581).
). If an abnormality occurs, the line with the center calculation 11402 is disconnected (step 582) and the maintenance transmission/reception processing device 403 located in another department such as maintenance and security.
．． After the line with the 1-bit transmission/reception processing device 404 is connected (step 583) and the abnormality information is transmitted (step 584), line disconnection processing is performed (step 585).
. In this way, when an abnormality occurs, the exchange line is automatically switched and the abnormality information is sent directly to the maintenance department and security department, so information is transmitted more accurately and quickly than through a central computer. This can further contribute to the security and reliability of the transaction device. Note that after step Sas, error printing (printing the abnormality information on the slip) shown in FIG. 11(E) is performed (
Step 886), the process is left to the staff. In addition, when it is determined that the transaction has been completed in step 879, the cumulative amount is updated by 81 (the cumulative amount of payment is updated by the device itself).
) is performed (step 5ee), and then the number of banknotes is updated by the dispensing banknote processing mechanism section 25 (step 889) and the card is updated if necessary (step 5so). Then, in steps Se 9 and S9 o, it is determined whether an abnormality such as the above-mentioned card update abnormality or bill jam has occurred (step 595). If an abnormality occurs, the line with the center computer 402 is disconnected (step 891), and the maintenance transmission/reception processing devices 40, 3, . The line with the security transmission/reception processing device 404 is connected (step 89).
2), after the abnormality information is transmitted (step 593
) Line disconnection processing is performed (step 594). In this way, when an abnormality occurs, the switching line is automatically switched and the abnormality information is sent directly to the maintenance department and the @equipment department, so information processing and transmission can be carried out more accurately and quickly than through a central computer. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to improving the safety and reliability of the transaction device. Note that after step 894, the process shown in FIG. 11 (
Error printing shown in E) is performed (step 5ee), and the process is left to the staff.

If it is determined in step 881 that there is no abnormality, post-printing is performed as shown in FIG. 11 (E) (download messages from the center computer, such as the reason for the failure of the transaction and the number of unrecorded transactions, are printed). is performed (step 896), and then it is determined whether the balance is insufficient (step 597). When it is determined that the balance is not insufficient, a message "Go to counter" is displayed (step 898), a line disconnection process (step 599) is performed, and the operation is ended. Also, if it is determined that the balance is insufficient, a message “Credit limit exceeded” will be displayed (
step 31oo) and return operation of card P (step 5
sot) and "Please remove card" display (step 8102) are performed in sequence, and after the customer removes the card P (step 3zo3), line disconnection processing is performed (step 51oa) and the operation is completed. Ru. Further, when it is determined that there is no abnormality in step 895 shown in FIG.
The serial number of today's transaction.

Downlink messages from the center computer, such as handling time, number of unrecorded items, handling date, etc. are printed (step 8113), and [Thank you. ``Please take out your card, cash, etc.'' is displayed (Step 5107> It is determined whether there is a timeout (Step S1oa)) a. If it is determined that the card, cash, etc. has been taken out before the timeout, (Step 3zoe) A line disconnection process is performed (Step S1so), and the operation is ended.Furthermore, when it is determined that the timeout has occurred in Step 51011, the cash that has not been withdrawn by the customer is collected (Step Ss s1) An error message to that effect is printed (step 886), and the process is left to the staff.

It should be noted that the above embodiment is merely an example, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the exchange line is connected to the central computer when the transaction device is operating normally, and when an abnormality occurs, the exchange line is connected to equipment installed in the maintenance or security department and the exchange line is switched.
