Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention allows a card or passbook to be inserted into an automatic machine such as an automatic teller machine or an automatic teller machine, and payments can be made based on the data recorded on the card or passbook or customer power data. The present invention relates to a transaction processing device for processing deposits, deposits, etc.

Regarding the automatic teller machine mentioned above, this teller machine is located at each bank branch or a special store such as a department store.
Connected to the central processing unit of the head office or 1 center online or via Yahoo!

A payment machine performs a payment operation by inserting a card and keying in the billed amount, but if the payment machine goes down due to a circuit failure or line failure to the center during this payment operation, the payment processing step will be interrupted. Since it is unclear at what stage the system went down, it becomes unclear whether or not aggregated data, such as the number of cases handled and the amount thereof, has been accumulated, which has the disadvantage of making data correction difficult at the time of recovery.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a method for printing tally data in the above-mentioned payment machine or other transaction processing device, which allows the tally data to be easily corrected when the device goes down.

According to the present invention, the first aggregated data representing the accumulated data processed by the central processing unit is updated, and the second aggregated data representing the accumulated paper data processed normally at the end of transaction processing is updated. and different aggregations determined in correspondence to before and during the update of the first aggregated data, and after the update of the first aggregated data and before and during the update of the second aggregated data. The configuration is configured so that a check code is generated and the above-mentioned tally check code is printed together with the first and second tally data when the device fails or stops (for example, when it goes down or is restored). The update stage of the aggregated data at the time of the downtime has become clear, and the first aggregated data indicating that the processing on the central processing unit (sensor) side has been completed, and the transaction processing on the transaction processing (terminal) has been completed. By checking the second aggregate data showing that
The above-mentioned update stage of the aggregated data when the device is down becomes clearer, and the staff can decide whether or not the above-mentioned first and second aggregated data needs to be corrected based on the above-mentioned confirmed update stage, and if so, the correction. It is possible to take countermeasures and check the correct aggregated data on the spot, and correction processing can be done quickly.

Note that instead of the above total check code, it is possible to print the contents of the sequence counter (or program counter), but the contents of the sequence counter (or program counter) are usually a binary number representing the address of the instruction program in stored program control. Therefore, even if the contents of such a counter are printed, it is only complicated, and it is impossible for a person in charge who is not a technical expert to understand or judge its meaning.

On the other hand, in this invention, before and during update of aggregated data,
Since the corresponding tally check codes are used after each update, even staff who are not technical experts can quickly and accurately determine the meaning, making it extremely easy to use.

An embodiment of the present invention having such characteristics will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a cash machine connected online to a center.

The card reader 1 reads the account number and secret number from the inserted card via the recording/reproducing circuit 2 and inputs them into the reading register 3.

The register 3 includes storage sections R1 to R15, in which the following data is stored.

It should be noted that among the storage units, at least the storage units R12 to R15 that store the total data are constituted by core memories.

, ゛R1: Account number card...Card data R2: Secret number...A number that proves the match between the customer and the card, Card data R3: Valid card...A secret number used by the customer to check Number of verification failures in repeated operations R4: Billed amount...Amount you wish to pay, input data using the numeric keypad R5: PIN code: Encryption data to be compared with the secret number using the numeric keypad R6: Dealer code ...A code indicating the store that handles the transaction, data set in the register R7: Payment machine code...A code indicating the payment machine, data set in the register R8: Serial number...A serial number sent in the order of payment. Data updated and set in the register R9: Payment amount: Amount paid by the payment machine, data input from the center R10: Date of use: Current date, set in the register Data R11: New balance: Balance after payment, entered from the center R12: Number of transactions: Cumulative number of transactions processed by the central processing unit, data updated and set in the register R13: Transaction amount: The cumulative amount of transactions handled by the payment machine, which is updated and set in the register R14 Number of normal transactions: The cumulative number of transactions that were successfully completed without any trouble, which is updated and set in the register. - Data R15: Normal transaction amount...The cumulative amount of normal transactions without any trouble is updated in the register. Data key 4 is used to display the PIN number that proves the match between the card and the customer, and the request for payment. Enter the amount.

The display device 5 is the memory section R4, R9 of the register 3.

The billing amount, payment amount, new balance data and operating procedures stored in R11 are mainly displayed to the customer.

The payment device 6 is an example of a device that performs transaction processing by mechanical operation, and it dispenses cash to the customer, and the recorder 7 records the data stored in the storage sections R1 to R15 of the register 3 on a punched tape or the like. Record and save on a recording medium.

The arithmetic circuit 8 checks the secret number and the PIN number, calculates the balance,
Performs calculations such as adding the number of transactions and amount, and adding the number and amount of normal transactions.

The slip printing machine 9 is composed of a digital printer,
Issue a photocopy slip.

The data printed on the slip is a detailed printout that shows the payment details, and a subtotal printout that subtotals the number of transactions and the cumulative total of the amount, and the number of normal transactions and the cumulative total of the amount when the payment machine is restored after it has stopped operating. There is.

Detail printing includes pre-printing (front printing) and post-printing (back printing).
The printing is done in two parts.

As shown in Fig. 2, pre-printing is performed on the slip H with the account number, billed amount, dealer code, serial number, and date of use stored in the storage units R1, R4, R6, R8゜RIO of the register 3. data will be printed.

In the post printing, as shown in FIG. 3, data such as the password, payment amount, and new balance stored in the storage sections R5, R9, and R11 of the register 3 are printed on the slip H.

The subtotal is printed using the payment slip, and as shown in FIG.
Cumulative number of transactions AX Cumulative amount of transactions stored in R15 B1
Cumulative number of normal transactions C1 Cumulative amount of normal transactions data,
The check code E data of the check ring counter 31 is printed using the print fields for the account number, billed amount, and password.

Since the subtotal is printed when the payment machine is restored after it has been stopped, pre-printing or post-printing has already been performed on the unissued slip H at that time, so the subtotal can be printed by sending the slip H once and printing a new one. It is printed on slip H.

The above-mentioned subtotal printing is performed by the following configuration.

The data signals in the storage sections R12 to R15 of the register 3 are inputted to the slip printing machine 9 via the AND gates 10 to 13, respectively, and when the AND gates 10 to 13 are opened, the printing machine 9 prints the subtotal. When this subtotal printing is completed, a subtotal printing end signal is output.

The gate control of the ANDKATEs 10 to 13 described above is performed by a set output of a subtotal printing FF (abbreviation for flip-flop) 14.

The reset button 15 sends this reset signal to the control circuit 16.
By inputting , each component circuit device in the middle of a transaction operation is reset to the initial state via this control circuit 16.

That is, the step counter 19, other registers, FF circuits, etc. that are not constituted by the core memory are reset, and the mechanisms of each component device are returned to their initial states, such as returning the operating state of the imprinter to its original state.

At the same time, the reset signal of the reset button 15 is input to the AND gate 17.1B.

The set output of the flag FF 20, which is set by the transaction acceptance signal outputted from the step counter 19 of the control circuit 16 and reset by the transaction end signal outputted similarly, is connected to the ant gate 17 through the NOT terminal. The signal is input to the gate 18.

The output of the ant gate 17 is the FFI for subtotal printing mentioned above.
4 and reset with the subtotal printing completion signal from the printing machine 9.

The output of the AND gate 18 is input to the OR gate 21, the subtotal printing end signal of the printing machine 9 is also input to the OR gate 21, the output of this OR gate 21 is input as an end signal to the control circuit 16, and this input causes the core memory 2
3 and the core memory configuration ring counter 31 (described below) is reset and the device is ready for the next payment transaction.

A core memory 23 is connected to the input side of the FF 20 mentioned above, which stores the set state of the FF 20 when the power is turned off, and stores the set state stored in the core memory 23 to the FF 20 when the power is turned on. and return the set state of FF20 to the state before the power was turned off (before the payment machine went down).

The step counter 19 described above is constituted by a ring counter, and the step signals to which the output is sequentially transferred are set corresponding to the steps of the payment operation of the payment machine, and when each processing step is completed, a step end signal is sent to the OR gate 24. The data is inputted to the step counter 19 via the step counter 19, which is incremented to sequentially move through the processing steps.

The first of the processing steps set in the step counter 19
・1 by the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th check step signals
A check counter 31 that outputs aggregate check codes (hereinafter referred to as check codes) of ", 2", 13", and "O" is constituted by a ring counter of the core memory, and is used in the first to fourth check steps described above. The signal is inputted through the OR gate 32 to advance, and in the initial state, a check code of 10'' is output.

Here, the check code ゝ0 //ゝ1", '2" is
This corresponds to before, during, and after updating the aggregated data (number of transactions/amount handled) stored in storage units R12 and R13, respectively, and check codes "2", 13",
'0'' corresponds to before, during, and after the update of the total data (number of normal transactions/normal transaction amount) stored in the storage units R14 to R15, respectively.

Data indicating each check code of the ring counter 31 is inputted to the slip printing machine 9 via the AND gates 33 to 36, and the gate control of the AND gates 33 to 36 is performed by the set output of the above-mentioned subtotal printing FF 14. .

Therefore, when the payment machine is restored after going down, if the flag FF 20 is set by the transaction acceptance signal, the subtotal printing FF 14 is set by the reset signal from the reset button 15, and the printing machine 9 prints the subtotal. Then, the FF 14 is reset by the subtotal printing end signal.

When the flag FF 20 is reset by the transaction end signal, the reset signal from the reset button 15 is input to the OR gate 21 via the AND gate 18, and from this gate 21 is input to the control circuit 16 as the end signal. will be moved to the next step.

The transmission interface circuit 25 performs data transmission between the register 3 and the center, and is connected to the central processing unit 28 of the center via a modem 26 and a modem 2γ on the center side.

The central processing unit 28 performs well-known calculation control for updating balances and the like.

The communication control device 29 controls data input/output between a large number of automatic teller machines and the center.

The auxiliary storage device 30 is composed of, for example, a magnetic disk, and records deposit balances in correspondence with account numbers.

Next, the payment operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

The automatic teller machine has a step counter 19 in the control circuit 16.
The payment operation is advanced by step signals that sequentially change from 1 to 3, and the check ring counter 31 outputs a check code of "0".

The customer is given a card on which at least an account number and a secret number are magnetically recorded, and a code (PIN number) corresponding to the secret number to prove the identity of the card and the customer.

When a customer inserts a card into the card reader 1, the card reader 1 checks the validity of the card to see if it is compatible with this automatic teller machine, reads the account number and secret number, and stores it in the storage section of the register 3. Store it in R1 and R2.

The customer then enters a password using the numeric keypad 4, and this password is stored in the storage section R5 of the register 3.

The arithmetic circuit 8 checks the customer's personal identification number and the secret number stored in the card record, and if the customer and the card do not match, the personal identification number is changed as long as the valid code in the memory R3 of the register 3 allows. If a match is found, the process moves to the next step.

When the customer inputs the desired amount to be billed using the numeric keypad 4, this billed amount is stored in the storage section R4 of the register 3.

When these steps are completed, the payment transaction is accepted, and in the next step, the step counter 19 outputs a transaction acceptance signal, and the flag FF 20 is set to memorize that the payment transaction has been accepted.

When the next step is moved, pre-printing is performed, and as shown in FIG.
The data stored in the storage units R1, R4, R6, R8°R10 of the account number, billed amount, dealer code, serial number, and date of use are printed.

When the next step is transferred, data is transmitted to and from the center, and the storage section R1°R4, R6, R of the register 3 is transferred.
The data stored in 7 is input to the central processing unit 28 of the center via the transmission interface 25 for transaction requests.

The central processing unit 28 withdraws the deposit balance from the ledger file based on the input account number, calculates from this deposit balance whether the billed amount can be paid, and if the payment is possible, the transaction is performed.

The central processing unit 28 outputs the data of the payment amount and the updated new balance to the register 3 via the transmission interface 21, and the register 3 stores this data in the storage units R9 and R11.
to be memorized.

The display 5 simultaneously displays the above-mentioned payment amount and new balance data.

When the next step is moved, the step counter 19 outputs a first check step signal, and the ring counter 31 outputs a "1" check code.

When the next step is moved, the storage section R1 of register 3
2. The arithmetic circuit 8 adds up the number of transactions and the transaction amount stored in R13, and the storage unit f't12. R
13 is updated and stored.

When the next step is moved, the step counter 19 outputs a second check step signal, and the check counter 31 outputs an X2" check code.

When moving to the next step, post printing is performed,
As shown in FIG. 3, the slip printing machine 9 prints on the slip H the data of the password, payment amount, and new balance stored in the storage sections R5, R9, and R11 of the register 3.

When the next step is taken, the card reader 1 records the date of use stored in the storage section R10 of the register 3 on the card, and returns the card to the customer.

The payment device 6 releases cash to the customer based on the payment amount stored in the storage section R9 of the register 3.

The slip printing machine 9 issues a slip H containing the payment details for which post-printing has been completed, and releases it to the customer.

The recorder 7 records and saves the data stored in the storage sections R1 to R13 of the register 3.

When the next step is moved, the step counter 19 outputs a third check step signal, and the ring counter 31 outputs a "3" check code.

Once the previous steps have been completed, the payment transaction has been successfully completed, so when you move on to the next step,
The arithmetic circuit 8 adds up the number of normal transactions and the amount of normal transactions stored in the storage sections R14 and R15 of the register 3, and the storage sections R14 and R15 are updated and stored.

When the next step is moved, the step counter 19 outputs a fourth check step signal, and the ring counter 31 outputs an "O" check code.

When the next step is moved, a transaction completion signal is output from the step counter 19, and the flag FF 20 is reset to memorize that the payment transaction has been completed.

In the final step, the data input from the card memory center of register 3 is reset, and the memory sections R3 and R6 set on the register side are reset.

The data of R.gamma., R8, R10, R12 to R15 are maintained in the set state, and the serial number in the storage section R8 is incremented by 1 in the arithmetic circuit 8 and stored again.

This completes one step of the payment operation.

Next, the recovery operation after the automatic teller machine stops operating during a payment operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The subtotal printing FF 14 and the flag FF 20 are returned to the set state before the stop by the core memory 23 connected to them when the power is turned on at the time of recovery, and the ring counter 31 similarly outputs the check code before the stop.

When the reset button 15 is operated, a reset signal causes the control circuit 16 to return each component circuit device under control to the initial state of the payment operation.

When the flag FF 20 stores transaction acceptance and has a set output, the subtotal printing FF 14 is set by the above-mentioned or set signal, and this set output causes the ant gates 10 to 13, 33 to 36 to Cumulative number of handled cases A that has been opened and stored in storage sections R12 to R15 of register 3
The data of 1 cumulative transaction amount B1 cumulative number of normal transactions C1 cumulative normal transaction amount data and the data of check code E of ring counter 31 are input to the slip printing machine 9.

The printing machine 9 sends the slip H once and prints the data A, B, C, D, E input into the new slip H as shown in FIG.
Print the account number, billed amount, payment amount, and PIN using the printing fields.

One copy of the printed copy slip is cut and ejected into the ejection opening of the front panel, as in a normal transaction, and the rest are rolled up for backup purposes.

When this subtotal printing is completed, the printing machine 9 outputs a subtotal printing completion signal, and this signal resets the subtotal printing FF 14 and passes through the OR gate 21 to the control circuit 16.
The control circuit 16 resets the core memory 23 and the core memory ring counter 31 to prepare for the next payment.

Therefore, by examining the check code E shown in FIG.
“, indicates that the payment machine went down between accepting the payment transaction and finishing data transmission with the center;
In this case, the number of transactions and their amount, and the number of normal transactions and their amount are the data before the device went down and are the same number and amount, and this fact allows us to confirm the check code E above. Check the balance update of the center's Motohari file and make corrections as necessary.

If the check code E is '1'', it indicates that the payment machine was down between the end of data transmission with the center and the end of updating the number of transactions and their amounts (that is, while updating the cumulative total), and in this case, the payment machine is not functioning normally. The number of transactions and their amounts are the data before the equipment went down, and if you check the number of transactions and amounts based on this, you can easily determine whether or not the data needs to be corrected, and if necessary, correct it. At the same time, the operations of subsequent processing steps are also corrected.

If the check code E is XX2, it means that the payment machine went down after updating the number of transactions and their amounts but before updating the number of normal transactions and their amounts. In this case, the number of transactions and their amounts are In addition, since the number of normal transactions and their amounts are data before the device went down, either of them will be corrected by processing the payment, and the processing operations of subsequent processing steps will also be corrected.

If the check code E is ``3'', it indicates that the payment machine was down while updating the number of normal transactions and its amount. In this case, the number of transactions and its amount indicate that the center has finished processing, so this By checking the number of normal transactions and their amounts based on , it is easy to determine whether or not the data needs to be corrected, and if necessary, correct it.

In this way, the check code E makes it clear at which processing step the payment machine went down, and by checking the number of transactions and their amounts against the number of normal transactions and their amounts, you can confirm the point of failure and check the data and processing operations. Correcting measures and corrections can be quickly and easily made.

Furthermore, by examining the printing status of pre-printing and post-printing in addition to examining check code E, it is possible to subdivide the processing steps when the payment machine is down.

When the flag FF 20 memorizes the end of the transaction and there is no set output, the reset signal input from the reset button 15 is input to the OR gate 21 via the AND gate 18.
A termination signal is input from this gate 21 to the control circuit 16.

Upon input of the end signal, the control circuit 16 returns each component circuit device to the initial state of the payment operation and prepares for the next payment.
