Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a collation device, such as an automatic cash processing bag@
The present invention relates to a verification device for verifying the authenticity of an operator, which is provided in an ATV (ATV), a cash dispenser (CD), and the like.

Summary of the Invention This invention makes it difficult for the identification data to be stolen and improves the verification process by making the identification data for verification include graphic data in a verification device that verifies whether the operator is legitimate or not. Accuracy.

Legitimacy can be guaranteed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Devices such as conventional ATMs, CDs, and electronic cash registers (ECRs) are equipped with verification devices for determining the legitimacy of the person operating the device.

In many cases, the devices described above are activated by the insertion of a card, which typically requires a four-digit PIN number to verify the authenticity of the cardholder (i.e., the operator of the device). The operator's legitimacy is determined by the number.

Problems that the invention aims to solve However, each individual can choose any number they want as their 4-digit PIN number, but it is generally a number that is difficult for individuals to forget, such as their birthday, home phone number, or home address. In many cases, the residence number is used as the PIN number. However, such numbers that are closely related to the individual are often relatively easily guessed by others. The fact that the PIN number is easily guessed by others means that there is a risk that the card will be used fraudulently by another person if the card is dropped or stolen.

The present invention is characterized in that the authenticity of the operator of the device can be verified more reliably and fraud prevention is eliminated. To provide a verification device that can prevent cards from being used and ensure higher card security.

Means for Solving the Problems This invention provides a storage means in which predetermined identification data is stored, a data input means for inputting identification data,
and a verification means for comparing the identification data input from the data input means and the identification data stored in the storage means to check whether the operator is legitimate, wherein the identification data has a graphic shape. This is a verification device configured to include data.

Predetermined graphic shape data as identification data is input from the action data input means. Predetermined identification data of a graphic shape is stored in advance in the storage means. The identification data may be stored in the storage means, for example, by inserting the card into the device and reading the data stored on the card, prior to inputting the identification data from the data input means. However, the identification data registered at the time of registration by the operator may be stored as a data file. The figure identification data input from the data input means and the figure identification data stored in the storage means are compared by the collation means, and when the two match, the operator's legitimacy is confirmed, and when they do not match, the operator is authenticated. Gender is denied.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained using an ATV as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to the collation device installed in an ATV, but includes CD, ECR,
We would like to remind you that this method can be applied to credit processing CAT, library lending registrant confirmation devices, and various verification devices installed in the devices used.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the overall configuration of an ATV according to an embodiment of the present invention. ATMlo is equipped with a CPU 12 which is the center of calculation and control, a CRT 14 which has functions for displaying device operating procedures, information and data, and a data input function.
It includes a motorized card reader (MCR) 16 for reading card data from a card owned by an operator, a printer 18 for printing out the data, and a memory file 20 in which necessary data is stored. CRT14, MCR16
, printer 18 and memory file 20 are CPL11
2 and are connected to each other by data bus etc., and the CP
Controlled by U12.

Further, the CPLJ 12 is connected to a center device (not shown) via a communication modem 22 and a station line 24, thereby enabling online processing.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the contents of the display screen of the CRT 14.

As shown in FIG. 2A, on the screen of the CRT 14, messages, information, input data patterns, etc. are displayed in a message display N26, an information display area 28, and a key and pattern display area 30, respectively. The key and pattern display area 30 is an area where numerical data or graphic data is displayed in a predetermined pattern, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C. Also, on the screen in this area,
Although not shown, a so-called touch panel made of a thin translucent member is stacked. By pressing a desired pattern from above among the patterns displayed on the CRT screen, data can be input from the touch keys provided at that location. Note that the device for inputting data is not limited to the touch panel as in this embodiment, but may also be a key switch on which predetermined graphical data is engraved or pasted. Alternatively, an optical data reading device or the like may be used to read the figure shape data drawn by the operator.

The feature of this embodiment is that in addition to the numerical data of 0 to 9 shown in FIG. 2B, the circle (O) and beke ( ×), triangle (Δ), and other simple figure data are included.

The operation and operation of this embodiment will be explained below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Usually, a pattern (1) as shown in FIG. 2B is displayed on the CR page 14 of the A page M10. Therefore, the operator
In order to cause the ATM to perform a desired operation, a desired mode is selected by pressing a (cash) withdrawal key, (cash) deposit key, inquiry key, bankbook entry key, cash advance key, etc. usually,
Since the withdrawal of cash requires verification of the person in question, the explanation will be based on the case of cash withdrawal.

Through key search, CPU1 detects that the pull-out key has been pressed.
2 confirms, the message display Ij/1 of CRTl4
26, a request to insert the card is displayed. When the operator inserts the card into the MCR 16 and confirms that the MCR 16 has read the card data, the message display area 26
Displays a request to enter the PIN number. In response, the operator selects and presses his own password key from the numbers 0 to 9 shown in the pattern of FIG. 2B, and the CPL 112 confirms that the input of the password has been completed. The processing up to this point is the same as the conventional one.

In this embodiment, the display pattern of input data displayed on the keys of the CRTl 4 and the pattern display area 30 changes from pattern (1) shown in FIG. 2 to pattern (2) shown in FIG. 2C. Be changed.

The arrangement of the simple figures in pattern (2) is not always the same, but is randomly changed each time. This is to prevent someone else from stealing the figure identification data due to the presence of the same figure in the same place. CPtJ1
2 simultaneously displays a second password data input request in the message display area 26. In response, the operator inputs second password data based on a combination of figures registered in advance.

For example, as the second password data, O→◎→×→△,
If you have registered the shapes, input the shapes one by one.

When the CPU 12 confirms the completion of data input, the CPU 12 compares the identification data and figure identification data based on the numerical data read from the card with the identification data and figure identification data based on the numerical data inputted by the key operation. Then, each of the two matches, that is, verification is OK.
If so, the cash withdrawal request is accepted and the information is transferred to the host device.

Similar data verification is performed in the host device, and if the verification is OK, the same processing as conventional methods such as cash dispensing processing, receipt issuing processing, and card return processing is performed.

On the other hand, if the verification by CRTl 2 is not OK,
That is, if either the numerical identification data or the figure identification data does not match, an error process is performed and the card is returned. The same applies to the host device. Furthermore, the reason why the error processing in CPIJ12 was designated as verification error processing (1) and the processing in the host device was designated as verification error processing (2) was to differentiate the processing between so-called offline verification and online verification. It's just that.

In this embodiment, two types of data, numeric data identification data and figure shape identification data, are allowed to be input in advance, and then a matching process is performed. After step O, the procedure may be such that input of figure shape data is allowed.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the matching process is performed using both numerical data and graphical data, but the idea of this invention is that the matching process is based on graphical data, and the matching process using numerical data is not necessarily necessary. It's not a thing.

Moreover, the graphic data shown in FIG. 2C is merely an example, and it goes without saying that other graphic data may be used as long as it is easy for the operator to remember.

For example, graphic data such as deformed animals, birds, insects, and fish can be considered.

Effects of the Invention As described above, this invention utilizes graphical data as identification data used to verify the authenticity of the operator, making it easy for the operator to remember and preventing unauthorized plagiarism by others. , it is possible to provide a highly secure verification device.
