Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a safe full detection device that allows easy operation confirmation.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, in paid devices such as public telephones, it is necessary to collect money before the safe inside the device becomes full, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-1998-1 is used as a means of notifying that the safe is full or close to full. A safe full detection device as described in Japanese Patent No. 2399 is used.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional safe full detection device.

In this figure, 1 is a CPU, 2 is a ROM in which a program is stored, 3 is an input section, 4 is an output section, 5 is a safe presence detection section that detects attachment/detachment of the safe, and 6 is a coin that detects inserted coins. Detection unit, 7 is coin parameter storage unit,
The amount of occupancy of one coin in the safe for each type is stored as a parameter. 8 is a storage magnet as a driving part,
Displays the safe as full and restricts coin insertion. 9 is R
At AM, the stored storage amount in the safe and the full capacity of the safe are stored as reference values. 10 is a control section.

Next, the operation will be explained.

First, the coin parameter storage unit 7 and RA
Parameters and reference values for each type of coin are stored in each M9.

For example, if the standard value (an arbitrary value corresponding to the capacity of a full state) is 10,000, and the maximum number of coins that can be stored is 200 coins, then the coin parameter for each coin is determined by 10,000÷200=50. An occupancy of 50 is used.

Now, when the existence of a safe is detected by the safe presence detection section 5 and the insertion of a coin is detected by the coin detection section 6, the CPU 1 in the control section 10 takes in this information via the input section 3. , the parameters corresponding to the inserted coin are read from the coin parameter storage section 7, integrated and stored in the storage/accumulation storage area of the RAM 9. And C
The PU 1 performs the same operation as long as the stored storage amount is less than the reference value stored in the reference value storage area of the same RAM 9, and when the stored storage amount reaches the reference value, it outputs a full signal. The storage magnet 8 is activated via the output section 4. In other words, the storage magnet 8 indicates that the safe is full;
Return of inserted coins.

There will be restrictions on coin insertion, etc.

Further, when a full safe is removed from the main body, this is detected by the safe presence detection unit 5, and the CPU 1
The storage storage amount stored in the storage storage storage area of 9
Clear to.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, the conventional safe fullness detection device as described above is designed to check whether the safe is operating normally when the product is completed and during actual use. There was a problem in that a considerable amount of coins had to be continuously inserted until the tank was full, which required a great deal of effort and time.

In addition, especially when checking operation during actual use in the field, the safe is full and the operation is checked, so at the end, the safe must be opened with a key and removed to clear the stored storage amount. There was a problem in that it was not possible to separate labor between maintenance and finance, which were both highly valued.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and aims to provide a safe full detection device that allows easy operation confirmation and division of labor between maintenance and finance.

[Means for solving problems]

The safe full detection device according to the present invention includes a test button for operation confirmation, a numerical input section for inputting a pseudo storage accumulation amount for operation confirmation, and a numerical value input section for inputting a pseudo stored storage amount for operation confirmation, and a value stored in a storage section when the test button is turned on. This system is provided with a pseudo data importing means for temporarily saving the stored storage amount in another area and importing into the vacant area the pseudo storage storage amount 7 inputted from the numerical input section.

[Effect]

In this invention, when the test button for operation confirmation is turned on, the stored storage amount stored in the storage section is temporarily evacuated to another area by the pseudo data importing means, and a numerical value is input into the empty area. After the pseudo storage accumulation amount input from the storage section is taken into the storage section, a safe full detection operation is performed on the pseudo storage storage amount taken in by the control section.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the safe full detection device of the present invention.

In this figure, the same symbols as in Fig. 2 indicate the same parts,
11 is a CPU, 11a is a pseudo data importing means, 12
．． Reference numeral 13 denotes a RAM as a storage unit. The RAM 12 stores the stored storage amount and the reference value, and the RAM 13 serves as an area where the stored storage amount is temporarily saved. 14 is a test button for confirming operation, which is provided inside the housing. 1
5 is a numerical input section, which can also be used as a dial keypad in public telephones and the like. 20 is a control section.

The basic operation of the safe full detection device of the present invention is similar to that of the conventional device shown in FIG. 2, but it is constructed so that the operation can be easily confirmed.

Next, the operation will be explained using a public telephone as an example.

First, when the casing is opened and the test button 14 inside is pressed, the CPU 11 detects this via the input section 3 and starts the pseudo data importing means 11a. Then, by this pseudo data importing means 11a, the RAM 12
The stored storage amount within is saved to the RAM 13.

Next, when a pseudo stored storage amount close to the reference value is inputted from the numerical value input section 15, the pseudo data capturing means 11a captures the pseudo data into an empty area in the RAM 12.

Next, by pressing the test button 14 again, the state becomes ready for talking, and when a coin is inserted and a paid call is made, the coin is stored, and the CPU II adds up the amount of pseudo stored storage in the RAM 12 and the stored storage amount in the RAM 13. The amount of pseudo stored storage in the RAM 12 eventually reaches the reference value. When the CPU 1l detects this, it outputs a full signal, blocks the input from the coin detection unit 6 that is input via the input unit 3, and forces the call loop by the arrival of the billing signal from the exchange. Returning coins, restricting coin insertion, etc.

That is, by executing the above procedure, you can pseudo-check the operation of the safe being full, and by going on-hook after confirming the operation, the pseudo storage storage amount in the RAM 12 is erased by the CPU II, and it is saved in the RAM 13 instead. The original stored storage amount will be restored.

Therefore, it is easy to check the operation of the product when it is completed and when it is actually used in a short period of time without having to insert many coins. Especially in the field, it is only necessary to insert a small number of coins, and the safe does not have to be filled with many coins, eliminating the need for maintenance personnel to open the safe with a key at the end. In addition, storage storage capacity is RAM 1
Since the data is temporarily saved in 3 and then restored, it is possible to prevent tampering with data such as the stored storage amount, resulting in high reliability.

Note that in the above embodiment, after the pseudo stored storage amount is input, by pressing the test button 14 again, a call can be made. It may be set and executed, or it may be configured such that a program automatically transitions to a state in which calls can be made.

In addition, although the above embodiment shows the case where coins are actually stored in a paid call state, the control unit 22 is configured so that all coins inserted during the test are automatically stored.
If 0 is configured, it becomes more functional.

Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes a case in which a public telephone is applied, the present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that it can be applied to other paid equipment.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention includes a test button for operation confirmation, a numerical input section for inputting a pseudo storage accumulation amount for operation confirmation, and a storage section that stores data when the test button is turned on. The stored storage amount is temporarily saved to another area, and a pseudo data import means is provided to import the pseudo storage storage amount input from the numerical input section into the vacant area. It has the effect of being able to be easily done in a short time without having to insert coins, and especially in the field, since there is no need to open the vault, it has the effect of allowing the division of labor between maintenance and finance, which is inherently valuable. be.
