Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a page mark attached to a middle sheet of a bankbook for deposits and savings in order to automatically perform banking operations of a bank, and in particular, to carry out bookkeeping operations of the bankbook for deposits and savings. The present invention relates to a passbook entry machine for optically reading.

(B) Background of technology Bank business can be broadly divided into deposit, domestic foreign exchange, lending, and other management businesses. Of these, online processing has advanced in recent years with a focus on deposit and domestic foreign exchange business. I've been. However, the recent bank online system has been developed and put into practical use as a total banking system for all the courses of all stores, which is a step further than the conventional online courses for some stores.

Under such circumstances, it has been increasingly required that the devices constituting the toral banking system have high reliability.

(C) Conventional Technology and Problems A conventional method of reading page marks of a bankbook for deposit and savings will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows the conventional method of reading page marks, (A) shows the case where the page marks are continuous, (B) shows the case where the page marks are not continuous, and Fig. 2 shows the case where the page mark reading error occurs. , (A) shows the case of the passbook slip, (B) shows the case of the skew of the passbook, and FIG. 3 shows a page mark reading operation diagram.

In the figure, is a step pulse, is a gate signal,
Is a sensor reading signal, is a page mark reading signal, a is a page mark, b is a 10-step pulse interval,
b'is a step interval longer than the specified interval b, and c is the reading center position of the page mark a.

The step pulse is generated by a pulse motor (not shown) for conveying the passbook, and the page mark a is printed at an interval which is an integral multiple of, for example, 10 step pulse interval b. The step pulse is generated after the passbook is inserted into the specified place and the upper end sensor (not shown) starts to operate, and the passbook is sucked by the roller (not shown). To do.

In the conventional reading of the page mark a, an optical sensor (not shown) reads the page mark a printed in black at intervals as shown in FIG. 1 (A) or (B). For example, when there are continuous page marks a in FIG. 1A, when the lowest page mark a is read and detected first, a pulse counter (not shown) is initialized and 10 step pulses are counted, The presence or absence of the next page mark a is detected. At this time, a gate signal is input to a pulse counter (not shown) during step pulses 9 to 12, and if a sensor reading signal is input during this period, this sensor reading signal is output as a page mark reading signal. .

A pulse counter (not shown) is initialized again by the output of the page mark reading signal to start reading the next page mark a. If, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), the bottom page mark a is detected and 10 step pulses are counted, there is no sensor read signal input during the gate signal input. If the page mark a is not detected, a pulse counter (not shown) is similarly initialized and the reading of the next page mark a is started.

Such a reading method is used because the sensor reading signal (sensor reading signal as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3) is erroneously caused by a dirty portion between the page marks a and electrical noise. This is to prevent erroneous reading of the page mark a which would cause ().

However, as shown in FIG. 2 (A) or (B), when the suction by the roller (not shown) slips or the page mark a is skewed, the specified reading center position c
When the page mark a is read by, the interval of the page mark a becomes long (the specified interval b becomes the interval b ').
Although the page mark a is actually present, it may be determined that the page mark a is not detected.

(D) Object of the Invention The present invention aims to provide a novel passbook entry machine that solves the above drawbacks, and in particular, it is possible to prevent erroneous reading of page marks due to suction slip of a passbook or skew insertion. It is to realize a passbook entry machine.

(E) Structure of the Invention The present invention is a passbook entry machine that optically reads a page mark indicating the number of pages of the passbook in order to automatically perform the entry work of the passbook. Input the gate signal in the vicinity, output the signal when the page mark detection signal is received from the sensor while the gate is open, and detect the presence or absence of the page mark detection signal at each step pulse A second counter that outputs a signal when a mark detection signal is detected, and a comparator that inputs the outputs of the first counter and the second counter are provided, and the outputs of the first counter and the second counter are the same. This can be achieved by a passbook entry machine characterized in that the output of the comparator for outputting a signal is a page mark reading signal.

(F) Embodiments of the Invention The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the page mark reading unit of the passbook entry machine according to the present invention. (A) shows a functional block diagram and (B) shows an operation diagram.

In the figure, 1 is a microprocessor (hereinafter abbreviated as MPU), 2 and 3 are counters, and 4 is a comparator.

The same numbers as in FIGS. 1 to 3 indicate the same contents, and ST-1 to ST-8 in FIG. 4B indicate the operation steps of reading the page mark a. The page mark a reading mechanism is shown in FIG.
The mechanism is the same as that of FIG.

The page mark reading unit of the present embodiment detects the presence or absence of the page mark a (presence or absence of the sensor reading signal) only when the gate signal is input, the MPU 1 controlling the entire passbook entry machine (not shown), and the page mark a is present. Counter 2 that outputs a signal, detects the presence or absence of a page mark a (presence or absence of a sensor reading signal) each time a step pulse is input,
The same signal is input from the counter 3, the counter 2, and the counter 3 that output a signal only when the page mark a is present (the position of the page mark a and the number of page marks a are the same).
When it is, the comparator 4 is configured to output a page mark read signal to the MPU 1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described based on the operation diagram of FIG. The judgment and operation control in each of the following steps shall be performed by the MPU1.

[ST-1]: Set the passbook at the specified position of the passbook entry machine (set it in the passbook insertion slot.

[ST-2]: Reading by the counter 2 is performed. That is, reading is performed to detect the presence or absence of the page mark a only when the gate signal is input.

[ST-3]: Reading by the counter 3 is performed. That is, the reading for detecting the presence or absence of the page mark a is performed for each step pulse.

[ST-4]: When [ST-2] and [ST-3] are completed, proceed to the next step. If not completed, return to [ST-1].

[ST-5]: The comparator 4 compares whether the signals of [ST-2] and [ST-3] are the same (the number of page marks a is the same), and outputs the page mark read signal if they are the same. Then, the procedure proceeds to the bookkeeping step [ST-6]. If they are not the same, the procedure proceeds to the error processing step [ST-7].

[ST-6]: The page mark read signal is received from the comparator 4, and the MPU 1 judges that the page mark a has been correctly read, and performs the bookkeeping process for the passbook set.

[ST-7]: Since the comparator 4 does not output the page mark read signal, the MPU1 performs error processing.

[ST-8]: MPU1 ejects the passbook with a passbook entry machine upon completion of entry or error processing.

(G) Effect of the Invention According to the present invention as described above, due to skew and slippage when inserting a passbook into a passbook entry machine, even if the page marks and the distance between the page marks extend beyond the specified interval, it is erroneous. Since it is not read and is discharged as error processing, it is said that it is possible to provide a passbook entry machine that can prevent entry into the wrong page and passbooks with subject data in the page mark to be processed as incorrect subjects. effective.
