Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to security equipment for financial institutions such as banks and credit unions, and other transaction processing devices.

For example, in the past, dedicated circuits contracted by security companies were used to transmit detection data from security equipment installed at bank branches to the central location.

The fee for using such a dedicated line is quite expensive, and including this fee, the cost for security equipment has become expensive. On the other hand, in the online packing system, transaction data from each bank branch, automatic teller machine, etc. is transmitted online to the bank branch, and for this purpose, the transaction data of each bank branch, automatic teller machine, etc. It is connected to the device through a specific communication line.

This specific communication line is switched off during off-hours, such as at night, so that it is not used, but the line usage fee is the same even when it is not used at night. This invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to transmit detected data from the security equipment of the transaction processing device to a central location using existing data transmission lines such as online packing systems, and to To provide security equipment that does not require a dedicated line contracted by a security company. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a security sensor near the transaction processing device, a central monitoring device in the center, and a relay processing device between the central processing device and the transaction processing device, Transaction data and detection data are each given a specific code and sent to the center via the same communication line, for example, an existing specific communication line, and at the center, a relay processing device converts the transaction data based on the above-mentioned specific code. to the central processing unit, and the detected data to the central monitoring unit. With the above configuration, both transaction data and detection data can be transmitted through the existing line and distributed between the central processing unit and the central monitoring unit.

Therefore, there is no need to provide a dedicated line for sensing data transmission. Embodiments illustrating the present invention will be described in detail below.

The detected data output is input to the control unit 9, and the recording output is input to the VTR 5. 11 is an adapter to which the output of the control unit 9 is input, 12 is a counter device, 13 is a line control device to which the output signals of the adapter 11 and the counter device 12 are input, and 14 is a modem to which the output signal of the control device 13 is input. , 15 are transmission lines.

On the center side ■, 16 is a modem, and the transaction processing device side 1

8 is a relay processing device, 19 is a central processing device, and 20 is a central monitoring device.The relay processing device 18 receives the output data of the communication control device 17, and depending on the type of the data, outputs the output data to the central processing device 19 or the central monitoring device. Enter 20.

For example, the relay processing device 18 is configured as shown in FIG.
is a specific code discrimination circuit, which opens a gate 104 when a code A is detected, and opens a gate 107 when a code B is detected.

Note that the specific code discrimination circuit 103 stores the bit patterns of codes A and B in advance, for example, and compares the stored data with the data in the storage unit 102 bit by bit using exclusive OR circuits. The code A or B may be determined based on whether all bits match or not, or multiple AND circuits or NAND circuits may be used to check whether each bit matches. It is well known that a plurality of logic circuits are used to check the coincidence of each bit to determine the bit pattern of input data, and a detailed description of the invention will be omitted. 105 is an output buffer for transaction data, and its output is interface 1
06 to the central processing unit 19.

Reference numeral 108 denotes an output buffer for detection data, the output of which is applied to the central monitoring device 20 via an interface 109.

110 is a buffer for data sent to the cash dispensing machine 7, etc., and 111 is an output buffer for transferring this data to the modem 16.

Next, the operation will be explained.

Detection signals from the in-store security sensor 1 and the in-flight security sensor 8 are all concentrated on an alarm monitoring panel 10.

Sensors 1, 8 detect an intruder and produce respective signals. Incidentally, the in-flight security sensor 8 may be configured to issue an alarm when a cassette storing cash inside the aircraft is removed without going through a predetermined procedure. The alarm monitoring panel 10 issues an alarm when any one of the sensors 1 and 8 is activated, displays the alarm, adds detection data for online transmission to the control unit 9, and outputs the recording output to V.
Add to TR5. The VTR 5 performs recording using the output of the video sensor 4 connected to the cameras 2 and 3 and the output of the alarm monitoring panel 10. Note that this recording can be visually viewed on the monitor 6. Transaction data from the automatic teller machine 7 and detection data from the alarm monitoring panel 10 are input to the control unit 9, and if it is transaction data, it is marked with a symbol A, and if it is a transaction data, it is marked with a symbol A, and if it is a detection data, it is marked with a symbol A.
If the data is known data, a symbol B is attached thereto, and the data is edited and input to the line control device 13 via the adapter 11.

The adapter 11 may have an editing function. Data input from the counter device 12 is also input to the control device 13 . The counter device 121 is operated by an attendant. Transaction data from the automatic teller machine 7 and data transmitted from the operation of the teller device 12 are prefixed with a specific code, for example, ゛゜A゛.
In the detection data starting from 0, each character is prefixed with J or another specific code, for example, ゛゜B゛. The line control device 13 transfers the input data to the modem 14 by time division.
, to the center via line 15. The data transmitted through the line 15 is received by the modem 16 on the central side (1) and input into the communication control device 17.

The control device 17 converts the data received as a serial signal into a parallel signal and inputs it to the relay processing device 18 . The relay processing device 18 is provided in the center, but its position is between the transaction processing device 1 and the transaction processing device 1 . That is, it is provided next to the modem 16 and the communication control device 17. This relay processing device 18 determines a specific code prefixed to each character of the received data. Data input from the modem 16 is stored in the input buffer 101 via the interface 100, and at this time, a specific code A or B is stored in the specific code storage section 102. And specific code discrimination circuit 10
3, the code stored in the store unit 102 is determined, and if the code is A, a code A detection signal is output, and if the code is B, a code B detection signal is output. When the specific code discrimination circuit 103 outputs the code A detection signal, the gate 104 is opened and the transaction data stored in the input buffer is transferred to the output buffer 105 through the gate 104, and then transferred via the interface 106. The data is input to the central processing unit 19.

Since the input data is transaction data or data obtained by operation of the teller device 12, the central processing unit 19 processes these data in the same manner as a conventional central processing unit.

Note that the data sent from the central processing unit 19 to the automatic teller machine 7 or the teller device 12 is transmitted through the interface 106.
, the input buffer 110, the output buffer 111, and the interface 100 to the modem 16. Conversely, when the code B detection signal is output, the gate 107 is opened and the detection data is input to the central monitoring device 20 via the output buffer 108 and the interface 109. It then records those data in the same way as the central monitoring device. In the above description, an example has been given in which the code discrimination circuit 103 is provided and the specific codes A and B are discriminated by hardware using a logic circuit. The code may be determined using software, and in this case, for example, the store unit 102
It is only necessary to subtract the sign of the data from the pre-stored code, and if the result is 0, it is determined that there is a match. In this way, the match between certain data and other data can be determined by software processing. This is a technique commonly used, for example, to check whether a secret number read from a card matches a password entered by a user.

In addition, since transaction data is generally not transmitted during off-hours such as at night, a switch is provided on the transaction processing device side 1 for during and after hours, and during off-hours, the switch is switched to off-hours to perform transactions. Turn off the power to the processing equipment and turn off the alarm monitoring panel 1.
0 and each device related thereto may be kept powered on.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the detection data from the security sensor is also transmitted to the central side through the line (line 15 in the embodiment) that was conventionally provided for transmitting only transaction data. On the side, the transmitted transaction data is input to the central processing unit, and the detected data is input to the central monitoring unit, so there is no need to provide a dedicated line for transmitting the detected data, and the cost can be omitted.
