Definitions

  • the solution according to the invention includes a method and an arrangement for the optional connection and operation of internal or external terminals and for setting signals on a signal line for further processing.
  • connection unit In the known terminal devices operated via machine-readable cards, a so-called connection unit is usually used to check the cards, to which the terminal devices are permanently connected via an a / b interface.
  • the advantage of this solution is a fast response time for authorizations.
  • the disadvantage is that a constant transmission path is required, which causes high costs.
  • Another disadvantage of known terminal devices operated by means of machine-readable cards is that they have mostly been designed as individual developments and are therefore only ever available for a specific specific purpose. When developing a new application for such a device, new development costs arise.
  • a finished product (end device) is often redeveloped to fulfill a new function. For example, in the case of the available fax machines operated by machine-readable cards, the facsimile machine was modified and redeveloped, and with software and hardware for card handling expanded.
  • the known solutions usually only offer the possibility of using machine-readable cards to access end devices provided by the service provider in the context of individual solutions, which are connected via dedicated lines.
  • No complex solution is known that enables the service user to either choose optimally from a multitude of possible end devices via machine-readable cards or to switch on his own portable end devices, as they are often used, via connection points provided by the service provider and thus various services how to use data transmission, BTX service, telex service, fax service or other services.
  • the technical task to be solved is to create a complex solution for service providers that allows service users to access a variety of services, such as machine-readable cards using various freely selectable terminal devices of the service provider, as well as their own portable terminal devices Access data transmission, BTX service, telex service, fax service or other services.
  • connection unit to which various interfaces for terminals or for triggering control signals are connected as required.
  • the connection unit consists of an interface module AB with a card reader 1, a keyboard 2 and a display 3.
  • the individual components of the interface module AB are connected to one another via a programmable control unit St and with a number of interfaces 12-n for end devices or for the purpose of use Triggering of Control signals connected for different purposes.
  • a complex power supply 4 for the connection unit is integrated in the connection module AB.
  • the card is checked to identify the service user relative to the card using a preferably pluggable security module that is integrated in the control unit St.
  • the control unit St releases the option entered by the service user using the keyboard, for example the release of a terminal.
  • the authorization of the service user can also take place by means of a telecommunication connection, which is present at one of the interfaces 12-n, via access to an authorization center.
  • the option desired by the service user and thus the corresponding interface is released via the control unit St by means of a switch 9 which connects an output line to an input line and the corresponding terminal and / or additionally sets a signal for further processing by connected devices. This means that the service user can only access the desired service after authorization and possibly authentication via a telecommunications connection.
  • usage costs are either booked directly from the card (in the case of an electronic wallet or a debit card) or temporarily stored in the form of data records and passed on to another unit for clearing with the customer (debiting center) at a later time.
  • the display 3 is used to display information.
  • Various information can be communicated to the service user via a display, such as, for example, user guidance for handling the connection unit or user data (for example, request for the input of the personal PIN number) or information about the desired service or terminal.
  • the fees 3 and the remaining credit on the card of the service user can be shown on the display 3.
  • FIG. 1 The solution according to the invention is shown in FIG. 1 on the basis of a block diagram.
  • connection unit consists of an interface module AB with the components card reader 1, keyboard 2, display 3 and power supply 4, a programmable control unit St, an interface for signal lines 12, an interface for terminal devices 13 and an interface for the telecommunications connection 14. Via the programmable Control unit St are the components of the interface module AB are connected to one another and to the interfaces 12 to 14.
  • the power supply integrated in the AB interface module is designed as a central power supply for the AB interface module and the St control unit.
  • the control unit St consists of a microprocessor 6, which has its connection a with a key 11, connection b with a charge switch 10, connection c with a switch 9, connection d with an interface for signal lines 12, connection e with a Modem 8, via connection j with a status display 5, via connection i with display 3, via connection h with keyboard 2, via connection g with card reader 1 and via connection f with a memory 7. Furthermore, there is a connection between switch 9 and modem 8 and between switch 9 and charge switch 10.
  • the interface for terminal devices 13 is located at switch 9 and the interface for telecommunication connection 14 is located at charge switch 10.
  • connection module AB After unlocking the connection box by means of the key 11, the connection module AB is activated.
  • the machine-readable card is now entered into the card reader 1. All machine-readable cards that identify a defined user can be used as cards. This can e.g. B. magnetic stripe cards, hologram cards, chip cards or microprocessor cards, which can be designed as prepaid cards, booking cards, electronic purses or credit cards. Additional data can be entered via the keyboard 2, which are used to authorize the user, such as PIN codes (personal identification number) for identification in relation to the machine-readable Map.
  • PIN codes personal identification number
  • the request for additional data of the service user is made via the display 3 as part of a permanently programmed workflow of the control unit St. Depending on the type of card used, an authorization and possibly an authentication to a locally arranged security module takes place.
  • authorization can also be carried out by automatically requesting an authorization center.
  • the card check is carried out via the built-in modem 8, the switch 9, the charge switch 10 and the telecommunications connection of the interface 14, the selection of the central file and the data communication for authorization and possibly authentication also being determined by a flowchart preprogrammed in the control unit. If intelligent cards (microprocessor cards) are used, this type of authorization can be dispensed with, since in this case it is cheaper if, as already stated, such cards are checked locally (offline) with the aid of a security module. After the recognition of a valid card and successful authentication, depending on the option of the service user, in accordance with the program of the control unit St, a terminal is released and the associated connection to a telecommunications line.
  • the release for the desired end device takes place by the microprocessor 6 connecting the interface for terminal devices 13 via switch 9 and the interface for the telecommunication connection 14 via switch 9 and charge switch 10.
  • An analog or digital telephone network or a data network can be connected wirelessly or by wire via the interface for the telecommunications connection 14 be.
  • Possible end devices of the interface for end devices 13 are e.g. B. phones, facsimile machines, modems and portable PCs in question.
  • the interface for signal lines 12 can be connected via the control unit St.
  • a downstream device Via a signal line connected to this interface, a downstream device, for example, can trigger an action by triggering a signal pulse. It is conceivable to release a door opener or issue a ticket.
  • the enable signal for switching can be reversed during a session on the basis of a signal from the service user or on the basis of adjustable parameters (for example after a defined time or on the basis of parameters specified by the card). This ends the session.
  • usage costs are either booked directly from the card (in the case of an electronic wallet or a debit card) or temporarily stored in the form of data records and sent to another unit for billing with the service user, e.g. B. a billing center.
  • Billing can take place, for example, using fee data records that are created after the end of a session. Contains a fee record Data such as card number, destination number, date, where applicable, start and end time, number of fee units, surcharge and one-time fee and possibly minimum fee.
  • the charge information is either received via the interface for the telecommunication connection 14 in the form of charge pulses, or the charge pulses are generated as a time clock in the connection unit itself.
  • This charge information which is in the form of a data record, is then temporarily stored in a memory 7 for each use.
