Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention proposes an apparatus for enhancing security according to object processing in a document shredder. The document separator is provided with an induction plate 12 on the upper inlet 11 and a cutter 15 for the lower end in the downward direction. The object refers to but is not necessarily limited to a document in which characters that can be read by software are recorded. In FIG. 2, reference symbol S denotes an object passing through the inlet 11 and the guide plate 12.

According to the present invention, the authentication means (20) is arranged to generate a signal for authentication with the illumination sensor (24). The illuminance sensor 24 is installed on the upper surface of the main body 10 so as to detect the illuminance of the place where the document separator is installed. The infrared sensor 22 may be provided adjacent to the inlet 11 of the main body 10 so as to detect a human approach. The input signals of the infrared sensor 22 and the illuminance sensor 24 are processed by the control means 40 to be described later and used as a judgment reference for authentication.

In the detailed configuration of the present invention, the authentication means (20) further comprises a user image acquiring camera (26) and a card reader (28) for reading an identification card, and performs authentication with a plurality of inputs. The camera 26 is installed at a position where it is easy to acquire an image of the user's body including the face of the user. The card reader 28 is installed to read information such as an employee ID card, a personal identification card, and a credit card. It is advantageous in terms of ensuring security as well as convenience of the user at the same time if authentication is performed by a combination of two or more of the infrared sensor 22, the illuminance sensor 24, the camera 26 and the card reader 28.

Further, according to the present invention, the object is provided with the carry-out means (30) so that the object can bypass the cutter (15) under the set condition. The exporting means 30 is used to prevent illegal document disposal as well as document disposal by mistake. In this case, after the object passes through the inlet 11 and the guide plate 12, the object is not moved into the cutter 15 but is moved to the bypass path set.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the carrying out means (30) is characterized by comprising a scanner (32) for converting the content of the object into digital data, and a carry-out stand (34) provided for switching the conveying path of the object. The scanner 32 is capable of high-speed processing such as a laser beam system and is installed vertically spaced from the guide plate 12 adjacent to the inlet 11. The carry-out stand 34 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the guide plate 12 to switch the downward path and the lateral path of the object. The downward path is to feed the object to the cutter 15 and to cool it, and the lateral path to bypass the cutter 15.

At this time, the carry-out means 30 includes a chute 36 provided adjacent to the carry-out stand 34 to form a bypass path, a storage box 38 installed at the lower end of the chute 36 for storing the bypassed object, And FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which the chute 36 horizontally adjoins the carry-out stand 34 to form a bypass path. A discharge port (37) is formed at the downstream end of the shoot (36), and a storage box (38) is provided below the discharge port (37). A cover between the discharge port 37 and the storage box 38 may be concealed with a cover, or the storage box 38 may be formed of a transparent material. 2, a configuration in which the storage box 38 is accommodated in the main body 10 and the discharge port 37 is omitted is also applicable.

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawing, it is preferable to provide a separate roller for smoothly transporting the object on the guide plate 12 and the chute 36.

According to the present invention, the control means (40) controls the output to the carry-out means (30) in response to the input of the authentication means (20). The control means 40 includes a CPU 41, a memory 42, an I / O interface 43, and the like. The memory 42 carries a subroutine program, which will be described later, in addition to the main program for controlling the sedan operation. The I / O interface 43 is connected to the authentication means 20 and the scanner 32 via an input terminal and is connected to the output of the I / O interface 43 via the output terminal of the cutter 15, (48) and the like. The CPU 41 executes the subroutine program by the set interrupt while executing the main program. In addition, a touch screen 45 is provided to input a user's selection command and display a control state. The touch screen 45 may be locally mounted on the control means 40 or may be remotely controlled by a remote control.

The control means 40 further comprises an algorithm for deriving a bypass of the object when the keyword inputted to the touch screen 45 is in agreement with the data of the scanner 32 . Executing the normal sedan through the user authentication is executed as the main program, and activating the exporting means 30 is performed as the subroutine program. In addition, a western routine program for recognizing a specific character in software is also provided.

4, the CPU 41 judges the validity of the user through the infrared sensor 22, the illuminance sensor 24, the camera 26 and the card reader 28 of the authentication means 20 (S10) (S20) to decide whether to discard or remove the object S even if it is a legitimate user. As an example of step S10, if the user does not have an identification card, the user may be authenticated under a first condition for maintaining the ambient illuminance at the setting range and a second condition for inputting a specific motion through the camera 26. [ The first condition and the second condition can be additionally applied even when the card reader 28 is provided with the ID card. As an example of step S20, the "export selection" function is implemented in the automatic mode or the manual mode via the touch screen 45. [

In step S20, a keyword is inputted through the touch screen 45 in any mode, and the process is compared with input through the scanner 32 (S30). If it is determined in step S30 that the 'mismatch' is detected, the normal sedan is operated to start the sedan motor 16 and the sedan motor 16 is operated. However, if it is determined that the sediment motor 16 is' To the storage box (38). For example, when a user inputs a 'business report' through the touch screen 45 and a word is detected through the input of the scanner 32 while the document is being cleaned in a large amount, the object S is moved to the cutter 15 Bypass to avoid passage and store separately.

Meanwhile, in the process of steps S10, S20, and S30, the alarm 48 may be operated to alert the user or inform the external administrator of the status.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It is therefore intended that such variations and modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
