Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a method for efficiently processing management information of a money processing device or the like using a card (for example, a magnetic card).

(Technical background and problems to be solved) Conventionally, in systems using computers, etc., systems have been developed that automatically diagnose system failure points and causes of errors, and display the results on the screen or print them out. has been done. Furthermore, a system has also been developed in which the destination of a facsimile transmission and the destination of a reception are stored in a memory, and are later recorded and outputted as management information.

However, no system has been developed in which management information is recorded on a card and the card is inserted into a computer or the like at any time to process the information, and no system has been established that processes management information in total using a simple method. It wasn't. Particularly in devices that require safety and accuracy, such as money handling machines, there has been a desire for a method to efficiently process management information at low cost.

(Object of the invention) This invention was made under the above circumstances,
An object of the present invention is to provide a card-based management information processing method that allows cards to manage various management states in a processing device such as a money handling machine so that management information can be processed easily and reliably. be.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention relates to a management information processing method using a card. Various management states of the device are checked as necessary, the contents of the check are stored in the storage section for each management information, and when a predetermined card is inserted, the information is recorded in the storage section in the magnetic recording section of the predetermined cart. This is accomplished by not only recording the contents of the f and Q checks, but also printing them on the card surface.

(Operation of the invention) In this invention, the contents of checking various management states of the processing device are stored in the cart and printed on the surface, so that the contents of the management information can be visually determined reliably and quickly. In addition, by using a cart processing machine, it is possible to efficiently process management information without using a large online system.

(Embodiment of the Invention) Fig. 1 shows an example of the configuration of an apparatus to which the method of the invention can be applied. A card reader/writer/printer 3 for writing data to the card 1 and reading stored data is connected to the card 1, and the card reader/writer/printer 3 is connected to the card 1 so that an operator can operate the device and input necessary data manually. An operating section 4 consisting of a keyboard or the like is connected. Further, the control unit 2 is connected to a storage unit 5, the details of which are shown in FIG. , the necessary currency is released and withdrawn.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the memory area of the storage unit 5.
The storage unit 5 is broadly divided into memory for cards, soda lighters, and printers, and memory for currency transactions, and also stores the number of error codes.

A predetermined management code 52 is defined in the management information 51@ such as the number of ret error occurrences, and the management status of the device (
For example, check the operating status, maintenance status, and alarm)1
A management state storage section 53 is provided to store the contents of the time of the operation. 3(A) and (111) show an example of a magnetic card that can be used in the present invention, and the surface of the magnetic card 1 in FIG. 3(A) has a printing section for printing management information. 12, and a magnetic stripe 11 for magnetically recording the checked contents etc. is provided on the back side of the figure (B).

The operation of this configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

Normally, the management status storage unit 53 of the storage unit 5 is all cleared, and if you want to check the management status of the device as needed, you can do so by commands from the operation unit 4 or by following a predetermined processing procedure established for the device. The automatic check program is executed, and the management information 51@ is sequentially stored in the management status storage unit 5.
The contents of 3 are set according to the diagnosis. Therefore, when the management information stored in the storage unit 5 for each management information 51 is required, an operator or the like inserts a specific management magnetic card 1 into the card reader/writer/printer 3 (step Sl), the specific magnetic card 1
At the same time as reading the Flnln striper booter (
In step S2), whether or not the management information stored in the storage unit 5 needs to be output is determined based on whether or not a take-cover information printing command is recorded on the magnetic stripe (step 53). According to this judgment, the control unit 2 transfers the management code 52 stored in the storage unit 5 and the corresponding contents of the management status storage unit 53 to the magnetic stripe of the management magnetic card 1 using the card reader/writer/printer 3. At the same time, the management code and its quantity data are printed and output on the printing section 12 on the front surface of the card 1 as shown in FIG. 3(A) (step S4). When management information is recorded and printed on the magnetic card 1, all data written in the management state storage section 53 of the storage section 5 is cleared (step S5). By ejecting the management magnetic card on which the management information has been recorded and printed in this manner (step S6), the administrator visually reads the management information of the processing device.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the management information printing command is not recorded, step S7) If it is turned on, the inserted card can be forcibly recorded in steps 54 to S6 described above. Then, if the manual switch is not on, some other processing is performed with the card unrelated to management information recording (step S8). Furthermore, by inserting the management 6n card into a card reader of another personal computer or the like, it is possible to perform aggregation processing of management information for the entire system.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the management information processing method using a card of the present invention, various management statuses and conditions of the device (for example, the operating status and maintainer status within the device) can be managed using the card, and The card is magnetically recorded and has visually readable printing on its surface, making it easy to read 41 times.
- The contents of the information can be known immediately, and the management information can be processed reliably and safely. In addition, if the above cart is aggregated by a data aggregation processing device etc.,
Devices can be managed more efficiently.
