Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a key card issuing machine, and more particularly, a key card issuing machine that stores information for opening and closing a key in an empty track of a card having multiple tracks of magnetic stripes. Regarding.

(Prior Art and its Q Problems) Conventionally, there are key card issuing machines that issue key-only cards. The key-only card issued by the 2F-card issuing machine is being used on a trial basis in some hotels to open and close door keys in hotel rooms.

However, now that we have entered the age of cards, having a key-only card separate from a bank card, credit card, etc. is not a good idea for users, as it increases the number of cards.

Moreover, since the key-only card has no relation to bank cards, credit cards, etc., using the key-only card does not lead to simplifying the operations of small Dell windows.

However, even if a key-only card can be issued using a conventional key-card issuing machine, the key-specific card lacks versatility, and therefore the conditions under which the conventional key-card issuing machine can be installed are narrowly limited. There was a problem with becoming.

(Object of the invention) This invention was made in view of the above problems,
The purpose is to provide a key card issuing machine that issues a dual-purpose key card that allows a bank card, credit card, etc. itself to be used as a key card.

(Structure and Effects of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plurality of magnetic stripe tracks, makes some of the plurality of tracks empty, and stores personal codes, account numbers, etc. in other tracks than the empty tracks. A card on which personal information is magnetically recorded; An operating section into which personal information such as a PIN number and designation information such as the room type can be entered; validity determination means for determining the validity of the personal information; key information selection means for selecting key information corresponding to the specified information of the operation unit when the validity determination means recognizes the validity of the personal information; and the key information selection means. The present invention is characterized by comprising a recording means for magnetically recording key information selected by the means on an empty track of the card.

With such a configuration, it is possible to issue a dual-purpose key card in which a bank card or credit card itself can be used as a key card.

Moreover, when issuing a dual-purpose key card like this,
Since the validity of personal information is determined, procedural problems can be eliminated even if key cards are automatically issued.

(Description of Embodiments) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a key card issuing machine to which the present invention is applied.

In the figure, the control unit 1 includes a CPU 11. RAM12.
