Abstract

PURPOSE: An apparatus for collecting and saving coins is provided to encourage savings of individuals coins, thereby being reduced the extravagance caused by new coin issue. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for collecting and saving coins consists of an input part, a microprocessor(1), an output part, and a communication part. The input part includes a magnetic strip type reader(9) for reading an account number of a depositor, a coin recognizer(10) for reading the kind of input coins, and a manipulation switch(8). The recognizer also decides whether the input coins are forged coins or not. The microprocessor counts an amount of coins read at the coin recognizer to output the total sum through a printer(3) or a liquid crystal display device(2), The communicator part transmits the total sum saved in a memory(11) by the microprocessor to a main computer of a bank for being added in an account of the depositor. An additional service for keeping and maintaining the apparatus is provided. An example of the additional service includes a present time, a daily deposit specification, a monthly deposit specification, and an amount of coins remaining in a coin case.

Description

Unmanned Coin Collecting and Saving Device {Automatic Coin collecting System}

The concept of collecting coins may be a piggy bank in the house, but the concept of collecting money may be the same in the concept of collecting coins, but it is difficult to know the quantity of coins that are in it. It is difficult to see it as a real unmanned collector because it has to be taken out and saved, and there is an aspect that is not enough for an individual to induce or motivate savings. The concept of collecting coins can be different.

The object of the present invention is that it is not enough to collect coins that are sleeping around the existing home, as described above, it is not enough to collect coins around the spontaneous incentives and efficient management of the deposit amount in the present invention is the main computer of the bank In order to implement this function, the following system is composed.

In order to achieve the above object, the magnetic stripe reader 9 for reading the bank account number of the deposit, the coin recognition unit 10 for reading the type of coins deposited and the presence of counterfeit coins, and various operations On the input unit consisting of the front panel operation switch (8), the microprocessor unit (1, 11) for calculating, processing, storing, outputting and transmitting the read value, the printer (3) for printing the processed value and the screen. It consists of the output part of LCD (2) which displays and the communication part which sends the value stored in the memory (11) to the main computer of the bank.

In addition, there is a separate service menu for maintaining and managing the machine.In the service menu, you can view the date, date of the machine, daily deposit, monthly deposit, and the amount of coins in the current coin. There is a very convenient aspect in maintaining the machine.

1 is a block diagram of a system for collecting coins into an unmanned account account

Figure 2 is an embodiment of the unmanned coin collector to which the present invention is applied

3 is an embodiment of a program for collecting and storing coins in an unmanned state

Referring to Figure 2, you can see an embodiment of the unmanned coin collecting device, the coin recognition unit 10 receives the coins and the LCD display unit (2) for guiding the coins and the various information messages deposited, the key operation unit used for various operations (8) The card recognition unit that recognizes the bank card used when depositing coins (9) It can be seen that consists of a printer (3) to issue a receipt for the deposit amount.

The internal detailed configuration can be seen in Figure 1.

As follows

In the standby state, the microprocessor (1) sends a message on the LCD (2) to the LCD (2) as a Hangul FONT, and the Hangul FONT sent is displayed on the LCD (2) screen. The voice signal is also sent to the voice synthesizer (4). If you specify the address of the ROM that contains the voice data, please insert the card. The voice data will start playing at the specified address and guide you to the speaker.

When the user inserts his bank card or bankbook into the magnetic strip recognition unit 9, the magnetic strip recognition unit 9 reads ISO 1,2,3 TRACK in the magnetic stripe and converts it into ASCII code. The code is transferred to the microprocessor 1 and the code is read to determine whether it is a normal bank code.

If it is determined that there is no error code, the determined account number is stored in the temporary memory 11 and a message is sent to the LCD 2 and the voice synthesizer 4 to put a coin into the coin recognition unit 10. To watch for coins

When the coin is inserted, the coin recognition unit 10 measures the outer diameter of the metal using the magnetic detector and the instrument, detects the weight of the coin, etc., determines whether the coin is defective or not, and sends it to the microprocessor 1.

The sent coin signal is divided into 10 won, 50 won, 100 won, and 500 won tables and stored in each memory 11 variable, and the amount is summed.

The sum is displayed on the LCD (2) for the user to keep track of and the process is repeated until the confirmation button is pressed.

Pressing the OK button stops monitoring of the coin recognition unit 10 and generates a sum of money as a record. The contents are card number + input time + deposit amount + machine number. Store in

On the other hand, after the memory 11 is stored, this data is transferred to the main computer 5 of the bank through the communication circuit 7 to accumulate the amount of the user account.

When the saving is completed, you will be asked whether you want to issue a receipt that informs you of the payment. If you want to issue a receipt, the microprocessor (1) will send the print data to the printer (3). 3) prints if there is no defect in the received data.

When printing is complete, the microprocessor (1) returns to the initial menu and is ready to receive the next card or bankbook.

Another feature of this product is a function that allows you to make a deposit by entering your account number using the front number key so that you can make a deposit even if you lose your card or bankbook.

Figure 3 relates to an exemplary program embedded in the unmanned coin collecting storage device.

When the program starts, it displays the message to insert the card on the LCD first (50) and keeps turning the monitoring loop until the card is inserted (51). When the card is inserted, the card data is checked for abnormality (52). If an abnormality is found, an error message is displayed and the display returns to the card input monitoring menu (51). If there is nothing wrong with the card, the card data is stored in a temporary variable (53) and a message is displayed to insert a coin (54).

Next, when the coin is inserted while the LOOP 55 is continuously monitored to check whether the coin has been inserted, it is determined whether the coin is defective or counterfeit (55). It counts for 100 won and 500 won (57), and stores it in a memory variable (58). The accumulated accumulated amount is continuously displayed on the LCD (59). Checking whether the input is completed and pressing the confirm key (60) If it is not pressed, return to coin input monitoring mode (55) and if it is pressed, accumulated data accumulated in the meantime as 'Card No. + Input Time + Deposit Amount + Machine No.' 61) is made

After saving, the stored value is sent to the bank's main computer using a communication device (62) and added to the user's account. After confirming whether or not a receipt is desired (63), if not, go back to the start menu and enter the receipt printing if desired. 64) You will be returned to the Start menu after the receipt has been printed.

The unmanned coin collecting and saving device is the current situation where a large amount of money is issued as a coin issuance cost, so that each individual can easily deposit coins. I think it will be a very useful system in terms of financial savings.
