Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a system for issuing processing serial numbers for handy terminals used in banking and the like.

[Conventional technology]

In banking operations, external relations staff sometimes go to customers' homes to sell various financial products and conclude contracts, and issue receipts when cash is received or bankbooks are borrowed. Traditionally, this receipt was created by hand.

Recently, portable terminal devices called handy terminals have been put into practical use, and they have data input calculators, printing functions,
Since it is equipped with a memory function, the outside clerk goes to the customer's home with a handy terminal, inputs transaction data, calculates it, writes it to memory, issues a receipt, and then returns to the store and stores it in the handy terminal. A method has been adopted in which data is sent to a terminal controller.

FIG. 2 shows an overview of such a system, where TC is the terminal controller or relay computer mentioned above, DT is a data entry terminal, and HT is a handy terminal. The TR is a transmitter that allows multiple handy terminals to be inserted into it.This insertion establishes an electrical connection between the handy terminal and the transmitter TR, reads the data stored in the handy terminal, and sends it to the terminal controller TC. sent to. Figure 3 shows an overview of a handy terminal, with a keyboard 1 having alphanumeric, kana, and function keys.
It includes a display section 12 for 0 and 2 lines (15 characters), a printer section 14 using roll paper, and a connector 16. The receipt has a format as shown at 20 in FIG. 4a, and is made by printing the customer's name, the amount received, the addressee in the case of a money order, and the bank name on a roll of paper using a printer.

The serial number 22 will be added to the receipt. This is 0000~
9999, a 4-digit decimal number, and the attached numbers 0 to 9999.
Since 9 is added, the total number is 5 digits. The serial number is also attached to the data input from the handy terminal to the terminal controller TC, and the TC batch-processes all input data for the day at a predetermined time (in the evening) by person in charge using the serial number. As shown in Figure 4b, the input data consists of a column called header containing the name (client name) and a column containing the amount called body.
They have a capacity of 0 bytes and the serial number is 0030-
It is assigned as 0,0030-1. The same customer (household unit) may conduct multiple transactions (for example, transactions under different names, such as the head of the household, his wife, and his children).
However, in this case, the header is omitted and only the body is used. 0030-2 is that.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The serial number is issued by the handy terminal. In other words, the handy terminal has a counter that repeatedly counts 0000 to 9999 and increments it for each header.
Further, counters that repeatedly count 0 to 9 are incremented for each body and cleared at the next header, and the counted values of these counters are used as a serial number.

In this way, if the serial number is issued by the handy terminal and is unique to the handy terminal, a problem may occur in the handy terminal and a problem arises when the sales representative goes to the customer's home with another person's handy terminal. In other words, the serial number is also the serial number of the transaction data handled by each external relations staff, so if you use someone else's handheld terminal, the serial numbers will skip or overlap, and if they overlap, there will be data with the same serial number and an error will occur. . Also, if the serial number jumps, there is a missing part, which is a problem (this may lead to an incorrect judgment as to whether a data transmission error has occurred).

To solve this problem, when using someone else's handheld terminal, it is possible to reset the counter count value and make the serial numbers consecutive. However, in this case, record or find the previous serial numbers, and then It is necessary to set the serial number in the counter, which is troublesome.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a serial number issuing method in which serial numbers can be easily made consecutive, and even if the handy terminal to be used breaks down, another handy terminal can be easily used without any problem. It is.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a processing serial number issuing method for a handy terminal, which has data input, printing, and storage functions, and is equipped with a counter that outputs transaction data and a processing serial number attached to a receipt. A means is provided for storing the latest processing serial number for each person in charge, and when the person in charge code is input from the handy terminal to the terminal control device, the terminal control device stores the scheduled visit data to the handy terminal. The processing serial number of the person in charge is also sent to the handy terminal, and the counter of the handy terminal is updated with the processing serial number.

[Effect]

Serial numbers are managed by the terminal control device for each person in charge, and when a person in charge code is input from a handy terminal, data on the person's scheduled visit and the serial number are sent to the handy terminal, and the counter is reset with that serial number. By doing so, you can easily ensure the continuity of serial numbers for each person in charge.

In other words, the liaison staff will continue to visit all the destinations specified in the destination data for several days, and during this time the next destination data may not be entered into the handheld terminal. If your device is out of order and you want to use another handy device,
Since data on the planned destination for the external relations staff is always inputted from the terminal control device to the other handy terminal, in the present invention, the latest serial number for the external relations staff is also sent at the same time, and data is stored in the handy terminal. To easily obtain the latest serial number for dealing with external relations personnel by resetting the counter.

〔Example〕

As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal control device TC includes a storage device M ₁ for storing scheduled visit data, a storage device M ₂ for storing management data, and a storage device for transaction data.
Equipped with _M3 . The management data includes the store name (bank name), store number, store phone number, etc., and these are the data to be printed when printing the receipt. In the present invention, this management data storage device is provided with a serial number storage column for each person in charge. 01, 100; 02, 10, . . . where 01, 02 are the person in charge codes, and 100, 10 are the last (therefore, latest) serial numbers up to the previous time.

When starting a visit based on the new planned destination data, the external contact person inserts his or her handy terminal HT into the transmitter, operates the keys on the terminal to enter his or her name (code), and then registers the planned destination and management data. Ask for input. In response to this, the terminal controller TC
The scheduled destination data and management data are read from M ₁ and M ₂ , sent to the handy terminal, and written into its memory. The scheduled destination data has already been printed out on a separate form and given to the outside contact. Therefore, the external relations person knows the scheduled destination data, but the scheduled destination data inputted into the handy terminal is for confirmation. It is used to confirm whether things are going as planned. In the present invention, when this is introduced, the serial number of the external relations person is also notified, and the handy terminal HT
The counter is thereby reset. Since the counter is supported by the power supply of the handy terminal, the counted value is always held. Therefore, as long as the same person in charge (external relations staff) uses the same handy terminal, the current counter count value and the serial number sent from the terminal controller TC are the same, or are they different when using another person's handy terminal? is normal,
At this time, the counter is switched to the serial number sent from the TC.

Holding a hand-held terminal with data input, the external relations person conducts external relations activities. Visit the customer according to the scheduled destination data, transaction data 11-0,1; 12,0,1,
These data corresponding to 2;13-0,1 are input into the handy terminal, and the serial number is automatically assigned within the handy terminal.

After returning to the store, insert the handy terminal HT into the transmitter,
Press the keys to send. At this time, the input serial number 11 is sent to the terminal control device TC along with the person in charge code.
-0,1-13-0,1 data are sent, stored in the storage device _M3 , and batch processed at predetermined times. Also, the serial number of the person in charge of storage device _M2
10 is updated to the final (latest) serial number 13.

Input of scheduled destination data into a handy terminal is performed when starting to use a new handy terminal, when new scheduled destination data is created, and when using another person's handy terminal due to a malfunction or the like. If the serial number is managed by the terminal control device, the handy terminal becomes general-purpose and is no longer attached to the external contact person.
In principle, it is better to keep it for each external contact person, as it is more appropriate for customs and material management. Also, the counter may be cleared if data is sent, but it is better to keep it. In other words, if you keep it, you won't have to enter data one by one when starting external relations activities, and you can start numbering the day's transaction data using the serial number held by the counter, so you can do it from home instead of going to the office on that day. It is also easy to immediately go to the customer's home.

A specific example of a handy terminal is shown in FIG. The same parts as in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals. 14a is the roll paper that is printed and comes out, and 14b is a feed knob. In this example, the display section 12 has 20 characters x 2 lines, and the connector 16 is on the side. 18a is a charging cable connector, 18b is a hook, and 18c is a power switch. The memory has ROM and RAM, the CPU is 8-bit type, and the printer is thermal type.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, the processing serial number is managed by the terminal control device, and the serial number of the person in charge is also input to the handy terminal when inputting the data of the planned visit, so that even if the handy terminal changes, the serial number continues. can easily maintain sex. When changing handheld terminals, the data on the destinations to be visited is imported, so the person in charge of the outside world does not need to be aware of serial numbers, and this automatically ensures serial numbers and their continuity. No operation is required to modify the serial number.
