Description

Kiosk with lock {KIOSK COMPRISING LOCK APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a kiosk equipped with a locking device in which the connection of power and an external storage device is controlled by a lock key.

Recently, a kiosk for performing unmanned sales or unmanned administrative processing, etc. is being used in public institutions or various companies. Kiosks are devices that allow administrators to purchase desired products through input/output of displays or to perform administrative processing tasks such as issuing desired documents, and their usage is increasing significantly in recent years.

In fact, the size of the domestic kiosk market was only 10 billion won in 1999, but it was confirmed that it has grown more than 30 times over 17 years to 300 billion won as of 2018. In particular, the number of stores introducing kiosks is increasing as the business environment of small business owners has deteriorated due to government policies such as raising the minimum wage. The road seems to have begun.

In particular, as non-face-to-face atmospheres such as social distancing campaigns have begun to spread due to the recent spread of non-periodic new viruses around the world, in particular, the spread of Corona 19, the use of non-face-to-face unmanned payment systems and kiosks is rapidly increasing. , along with this, not only the kiosk manufacturing industry, but also the management company for kiosk maintenance and the industry that manufactures related parts is showing continuous growth.

The prior art literature related to the conventional kiosk is as follows.

Patent Application No. 10-2020-0000204 (Title of Invention: Multifunctional Kiosk)

However, the conventional kiosk has the following fatal problems.

First, the kiosk is mainly used to perform tasks previously performed by humans in a non-face-to-face manner, such as in government offices, public institutions, or vendors for selling goods. In other words, if a problem occurs in the power or security of the kiosk, not only will there be a setback in the operation or management of the institution, but also a blow directly related to the sales of the business operator.

However, in the case of the conventional kiosk, a switch for supplying power is mainly formed on the side or rear side, but there is no means to protect it from the outside. In fact, in the case of franchisees that sell hamburgers or businesses with many children, such as kids cafes, complaints about the part where the power of the kiosk is turned off because a child presses the power of the kiosk without permission is continuously occurring.

However, even if such a power switch is covered through a separate cover, if there is no means to lock it, the same result will occur, as well as the need to change the mold structure. do.

In addition, the conventional kiosk has a very weak problem in terms of not only power but also security. In general, in the case of a kiosk manufactured recently, it is common to use an operating system based on Windows or Android. In the process of installing and repairing a program for installing or managing such an operating system in a kiosk, a removable storage device (Universal Serial Bus: hereinafter referred to as USB) is mainly used. However, in the case of the conventional kiosk, there is a problem in that the power switch is similarly exposed to the external storage device coupling portion.

Accordingly, not only in Korea but also in foreign countries, malicious problems such as breaking the operating system inside the kiosk or the parts of the device itself occur by unauthorized binding of an external storage device containing malicious code to the existing kiosk device. In particular, in the case of public or national kiosks, when such a problem occurs, it not only takes a long time to repair it, but also has a problem that various information can be exposed to the outside in terms of security, and the national budget is wasted. is becoming a big problem in

Conventional kiosks install and provide virus or malware prevention programs on Windows or Android operating systems to prevent access or hacking of malicious codes through external storage devices. In order to continuously operate, there is a problem in that the management cost increases.

Therefore, there is a need for a solution that allows the administrator to freely manage the kiosk while physically blocking access to the power switch or access using an external storage device.

It is a view showing the other direction rotation of the lock rotation unit 310 and the lock key 320 according to the.

3 to 7 , the locking device 100 is disposed on one side of the main body 11 to determine whether the power of the kiosk 10 is turned on or off or whether an external storage device connected to the kiosk 10 is connected. am. In detail, the locking device 100 is coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 that provides a space in which the external storage device can be coupled, a power control signal for turning on/off power, and the external storage device coupling unit 200 . It may include a signal transmission/reception unit 300 capable of determining and controlling whether or not to receive a recognition signal of the external storage device, that is, an external storage device connection signal to the control unit 16 .

The external storage device coupling unit 200 is a means to which an external storage device is coupled and can be connected to the control unit 16, and various external storage devices such as an external storage device-A type, B type, C type, etc. are coupled depending on the external storage device. It may be a coupler to be an external storage device, and a plurality of external storage devices may be coupled to each other instead of one external storage device.

In addition, the external storage device coupling unit 200 is respectively connected to the signal transmission and reception unit 300 and the control unit 16, when the external storage device is connected, an external storage device connection signal can be generated, and the signal transmission and reception unit 300 may transmit an external storage device connection signal to the control unit 16 . A detailed description of the related operation will be described later.

The signal transmitting and receiving unit 300 is connected to the external storage device coupling unit 200 and the control unit 16, and selectively transmits an external storage device connection signal generated when the external storage device is coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 It is a means capable of transmitting to the control unit 16 and selectively transmitting the power control signal of the kiosk 10 to the control unit 16 . In detail, the signal transmitting and receiving unit 300 selectively rotates in one direction or the other to provide a circuit through which a signal for transmission of a power control signal and a connection signal flows, and to selectively open and block the lock rotation unit 310 and the circuit. The lock key 320 for selectively rotating the lock rotation unit 310, the power control signal transmission unit 330 for transmitting a power control signal to the control unit 16 by one-way rotation of the lock rotation unit 310, and the lock rotation unit 310 It may include an external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 for transmitting the external storage device connection signal to the control unit 16 by rotation in the other direction.

The lock rotation unit 310 is connected to the power control signal transmission unit 330 and the external storage device connection signal reception unit 340 , and is a circuit between the power control signal transmission unit 330 and the external storage device connection signal reception unit 340 and the control unit 16 . The connection may be controlled, and a groove portion 311a having a shape corresponding to the insertion portion 322 of the lock key 320 may be formed. Accordingly, the shape of the groove part 311a of the lock rotation part 310 may be determined according to the shape of the insertion part 322 of the lock key 320, and coupling between the lock rotation part 310 and the lock key 320 suitable for each other is possible. .

In addition, the lock rotation unit 310 may rotate in one direction or the other in a state in which the lock key 320 is inserted. In this case, the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 may be disposed at an initially set initial setting position. In this state, when the lock key 320 is inserted and the insertion part 322 and the groove part 311a are coupled to each other, the administrator rotates the lock key 320 in one direction or the other direction to rotate the groove part 311a of the lock rotation part 310. It can be rotated in one direction or in the other "? direction. Hereinafter, the operation according to the rotation of the lock rotation unit 310 will be described in detail.

When the lock rotation unit 310 is rotated in one direction by the lock key 320 , the circuit between the power control signal transmitter 330 and the control unit 16 may be connected by the rotation of the lock rotation unit 310 .

In detail, when the groove 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is in the initial setting position, the power supply to the control unit 16 is maintained because the circuit connection between the power control signal transmitting unit 330 and the control unit 16 is maintained. Since the control signal is not transmitted, the power supply unit 17 of the control unit 16 cannot be controlled.

However, when the groove 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 rotates by a set distance in one direction, the circuit between the power control signal transmitting unit 330 and the control unit 16 may be connected, and accordingly, from the power control signal transmitting unit 330 The generated power control signal is transmitted to the control unit 16 , and the control unit 16 controls the power unit 17 based on the power control signal to turn on/off the power of the kiosk 10 .

In addition, when the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is rotated in one direction by the lock key 320, the groove portion 311a is initially rotated without maintaining the rotational state in one direction by the elastic body disposed inside the lock rotation unit 310. It can automatically return to the set position. This means that if only the power control signal is transmitted to the control unit 16 of the kiosk 10, then the power supply of the kiosk 10 is maintained through the power supply unit of the kiosk 10 itself, not the power control signal transmission unit 330. Because. That is, the lock key 320 and the lock rotation unit 310 of the signal transmission/reception unit 300 only determine whether power is supplied or not, not whether to maintain the power.

When the lock rotation unit 310 is rotated in the other direction by the lock key 320, the circuit between the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 and the external storage device coupling unit 200 is closed by the rotation of the lock rotation unit 310 can be connected

In detail, when the groove 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is in the initial setting position, the circuit connection between the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 and the external storage device coupling unit 200 is maintained in a disconnected state. Even if the external storage device is coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 , the external storage device connection signal is not transmitted from the external storage device coupling unit 200 to the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 .

However, when the groove 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is rotated by a set distance in the other direction while the lock key 320 is coupled, the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 and the external storage device coupling unit 200 The circuit between them can be connected, and in this state, when the external storage device is coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 , the external storage device connection signal is transmitted from the external storage device coupling unit 200 to the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 . may be transmitted to the control unit 16 through Accordingly, the control unit 16 may check the connection of the external storage device and control the program of the external storage device.

The lock key 320 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the handle 321 and the lock rotating part 310 that can be handled to rotate directly by the administrator and is inserted into the groove 311a. Insertion part 322 may include The lock rotation unit 310 may have a different shape of the groove portion 311a for each device, and may be manufactured to fit only one lock key 320 to one lock rotation unit 310 . Since the structure of the lock key 320 is a general structure, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The power control signal transmitting unit 330 may generate a power control signal by one-way rotation of the lock rotating unit 310 , and transmit the generated power control signal to the control unit 16 . In detail, when the groove 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is rotated in one direction, the power control signal transmitter 330 generates a power control signal including an on or off signal, and connects the generated power control signal to the control unit 16 By transmitting to , the control unit 16 can control the power supply unit 17 .

The external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 may receive an external storage device connection signal from the external storage device coupling unit 200 by rotating the lock rotation unit 310 in the other direction, and control the received external storage device connection signal. (16) can be transmitted. In detail, when the groove 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is rotated in the other direction, the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 is connected to the external storage device coupling unit 200 by a circuit, and accordingly, the external storage device coupling unit 200 ) receives the external storage device connection signal generated when the external storage device is coupled and transmits it to the control unit 16 so that the control unit 16 can control the external storage device.

Hereinafter, an operation for an administrator to control the power of the kiosk 10 and an operation for connecting an external storage device to use a program in the external storage device are divided and described in detail.

First of all, it is a power control operation. The operation for turning on or off the power of the kiosk 10 is the same and only one will be described for the sake of omission of redundant description. An administrator may operate the signal transmitting/receiving unit 300 to turn on or off the power of the kiosk 10 . In detail, the manager may couple the insertion part 322 of the lock key 320 of the signal transmission and reception unit 300 to the groove part 311a of the lock rotation part 310 . In this case, the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 may be disposed at an initial setting position, for example, in a direction extending in a direction perpendicular to the ground. That is, the state of FIG. 6 (a) can be maintained.

In a state in which the lock key 320 is coupled to the lock rotation unit 310, when the administrator applies an external force to rotate the lock key 320 in one direction and then removes it, the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 by an elastic body is also in one direction. After being rotated, it can be returned to the initial setting position. That is, in the state (a) of FIG. 6 , when the manager applies an external force, the state is (b), and when the external force is removed, the state can be automatically returned to the state (C).

In this process, the disconnected circuit between the power control signal transmitting unit 330 and the control unit 16 of the signal transmitting and receiving unit 300 may be connected, and the power control signal generated from the power control signal transmitting unit 330 is transmitted to the control unit 16 can be transmitted. The control unit 16 may control the power supply unit 17 according to the received power control signal to control the on/off power of the kiosk 10 .

The following is the operation of connecting an external storage device. When an administrator connects an external storage device to the kiosk 10 to install or manage a desired file in the kiosk 10, first, the external storage device can be coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 of the kiosk 10. there is. In this case, the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 of the signal transmission/reception unit 300 is disposed at an initial setting position, and accordingly, between the external storage device connection signal reception unit 340 and the external storage device coupling unit 200 . Since the circuit is disconnected, the external storage device coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 is not recognized by the controller 16 . That is, even if someone arbitrarily couples the external storage device to the external storage device coupling unit 200 from the outside, there is no problem because the control unit 16 of the kiosk 10 does not recognize the connection of the external storage device.

In this state, the manager may operate the signal transmission/reception unit 300 to operate the external storage device.

In detail, the manager may couple the insertion part 322 of the lock key 320 of the signal transmission and reception unit 300 to the groove part 311a of the lock rotation part 310 . In this case, the circuit connection between the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 and the external storage device coupling unit 200 may be cut off because the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is disposed at the initial setting position. Due to this, the external storage device coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 may remain unrecognized. This may be the state of Figure 7 (a).

In this state, when the manager rotates the lock key 320 in the other direction while the lock key 320 is coupled to the lock rotation unit 310, the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 by rotation of the lock key 320 in the other direction. ) can also be rotated in the other direction. That is, the state may be changed from (a) to (b) of FIG. 7 . As the groove 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 rotates in the other direction, the circuit between the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 of the signal transmitting and receiving unit 300 and the external storage device coupling unit 200 may be connected, and thus Due to this, the external storage device connection signal generated by the external storage device coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 is transmitted from the external storage device coupling unit 200 to the control unit 16 through the external storage device connection signal receiving unit 340 . can be transmitted. As the controller 16 receives the received external storage device connection signal, the administrator can maintain and repair the kiosk 10 by utilizing various programs stored in the external storage device coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 . . In this case, the insertion part 322 of the lock key 320 should maintain a state coupled to the groove part 311a of the lock rotation part 310 while being rotated in the other direction, and accordingly, the lock rotation part 310 also rotates in the other direction. It is possible to maintain the rotated state and maintain the state of FIG. 7 (b).

When the maintenance of the kiosk 10 is finished by utilizing the external storage device coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200, the manager rotates the lock key 320 in the other direction in one direction to rotate the lock rotation unit ( The groove portion 311a of the 310 may be placed at an initial setting position. That is, it can be changed from (b) to (c) of FIG. 7 . When the groove portion 311a of the lock rotation unit 310 is disposed at the initial setting position, the circuit between the external storage device connection signal receiver 340 and the external storage device coupler 200 of the signal transmit/receive unit 300 is disconnected. Accordingly, the external storage device connection signal of the external storage device coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 is not transmitted to the control unit 16 . That is, the controller 16 of the kiosk 10 does not recognize the external storage device coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 , so even if an external unauthorized external storage device is coupled to the external storage device coupling unit 200 . A program in the external storage device does not affect the kiosk 10 .

According to the locking device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention having the configuration as described above, the following effects are obtained.

First, in order to supply power to the kiosk 10 or connect an external storage device to the control unit 16 inside the kiosk 10, a separate lock key 320 must be used. (10) It has the effect of not being able to turn off the power recklessly or physically install unauthorized programs such as malicious codes.

In detail, the method of using the lock key 320 to turn on/off power and the method of using the lock key 320 for using an external storage device are distinguished, and each operation is designed to be performed independently, so that even when the power is on There is an effect of selectively determining whether to operate the external storage device.

Through this, personnel other than the administrator of the kiosk 10 such as children or hackers cannot install power or unauthorized programs, and as the stability of the kiosk 10 increases, the sales of the companies installed with the kiosk 10 such as public institutions or businesses There is an effect that the goal can be improved.

In addition, since the operation prevention of the power supply or external storage device is made through a physical hardware structure rather than using software, if only the locking device 100 is provided, there is an effect that a separate regular management cost such as a monthly fee is not burdened.

So far, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been mainly looked at. Those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will understand that the present invention can be implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments are to be considered in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
