A write head 23 for updating card information on the magnetic card based on transaction processing is disposed at the rear of the intermediate portion of the card transport path 21.

In addition, pad rollers 24 and 25 are provided oppositely to the head surfaces of each of the magnetic heads 22 and 23, while a reversible upper roller 526 that is interposed on the lower belt 20 of each of the belts 19 and 20 is provided. -' and 2□7 are connected to form a transport device 28 that drives and controls the card transport path 21 in both forward and reverse directions.

Furthermore, a platen roller 29 is provided at the back of the aforementioned card transport path 21, facing the magnetic stripe surface of the magnetic card B.
In addition, a number head 30 is arranged on the platen [1-ra 29] to control printing of device data on a specific magnetic card B, and print the card balance on the magnetic card A as a stored card. A printing device M31 is configured as a printing means for printing.

Furthermore, an insertion port housing 32 having the aforementioned card insertion port 6 at its front end is attached to the surface of the casing 14m of the HD processing machine 12 so as to correspond to the card conveyance path 21.

Figure 3 shows the control circuit of the automatic ticket vending machine, CP LJ40
In accordance with the program stored in the ROM 33, the amount display 10, the ticket issuing machine 11, and the reading head are operated.

22, the write head 23, the conveyance device 28, and the printing device 5 are provided with transaction data such as the number of tickets issued, and the second area 31 is driven and controlled, and the RAM 34 is provided with device data such as the number of operations and Operational data such as sales amount is stored in the third
Maintenance data such as the number of J error occurrences is stored in the area 37 as device data, and the card detector 38 and CP
At the time of specific card input determination with U 40, device data including the above-mentioned operation data and maintenance data is outputted to the printing device 31 via the CPU 40 from predetermined second and third: [Rear: '16.37.

The illustrated embodiment is 1iJr! The operation will be explained below with the configuration as follows.

First, when either the magnetic card A or B is inserted into the card processing machine 12 via the conveying device 28 which is driven once from the above-mentioned card insertion 18, the CP LJ 40
In a first step 41, it is determined that either card A or B is inserted based on the output from the card detector 38,
In the next second step 42, the reading head 22 is operated to read the magnetically recorded information (card information) of the inserted cards A and B.

Next, in &I3 step 43, CP tJ 4 (')
Based on the card information read by the IJ, it is determined whether the inserted card is a specific card for the device data collection 81 or a stored card owned by the user, and it is determined that it is the magnetic card A as a stored card. When I did,
The process moves on to the next fourth step 44.

In this fourth step 44, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the above-mentioned card A is valid. When it is determined that the card A is invalid, in a fifth step 45, the CPU 40 drives the conveyance device 28 in reverse to transfer the card. 8 from the card insertion slot 8.

Furthermore, in the fourth step 44 described above, the CP LJ 40:
When it is determined that the inserted card A is valid, the amount display 10 is driven in the next sixth step 46 to display the remaining amount of the card A, for example, on a multi-digit 7-segment display device. It is visually displayed on the container 10.

For this reason, the user can click the selection button 4.5, 6.7 corresponding to the item he or she wishes to purchase within the displayed remaining amount.
can be operated on.

Next, in a seventh step 47, the CPU 40 determines whether or not the above-mentioned selection buttons 4.5 and 6.7 have been turned on and a transaction has been completed. , in the next eighth step 4B, c P LJ 4
0 drives the ticket issuing machine 11 and presses the button 4 selected by the user.
, 5.6.7, exit 9.
The issue will be processed.

Next, in a ninth step 49, the CPLj 40 operates the take-out head 23 to update the remaining amount information (magnetic recording information) on the card in accordance with the transaction amount.

Next, in a tenth step 50, the CPL 140 prints the printing device 3.
1, the remaining amount of the card is printed on the anti-magnetic stripe surface of the card by the action of the thermal head 30 and the platen row 529, and in the next fifth step 45, the printed card A is returned, so that it cannot be used. A person can visually confirm the remaining amount by looking at the card number 8 in his/her possession.

By the way, in the third step 43 described above, if the inserted card is a specific card B for aggregating device data, the CP
When jJ 40 makes a determination, the process moves to the eleventh step 51.

That is, in this eleventh step 51, CP tJ 40
The above-mentioned printing device 31 is operated to print various device data stored in predetermined areas 36 and 37 of the RAM 34 onto the magnetic card B.

As a result, device data including operating data such as the number of operations and sales amount, and maintenance data such as error generating circuits is printed on the antimagnetic stripe surface of the negative card B.

Next, in a fifth step 45, the printed magnetic card B is returned from the card insertion slot 8.

To summarize above, the output command from the CPU 40 causes the RA
Since the device data stored in advance in the predetermined areas 36 and 37 of the M34 are printed on a specific magnetic card B via the printing device 31, when collecting device data, the above-mentioned device, which is convenient to carry, can be used. There is a rack that can aggregate the device data of a large number of devices in a cylindrical form simply by inserting a magnetic card B into the automatic ticket vending machine 1.

In the correspondence between the structure of this invention and the above-mentioned embodiment, the card processing device of this invention has automatic ticket-10 of the embodiment.
- Corresponds to the vending machine 1, and similarly below, corresponds to the storage means RAM 34, the output means corresponds to the CP jJ 40, and the printing means corresponds to the printing device 31. The present invention is not limited to only the configuration of the embodiment.

For example, it can be applied to other card processing devices such as product vending machines that directly eject and process items by pressing a selection button, card processing devices that process telephone cards, and automatic ticket collection machines that process commuter passes. Of course.
