Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Issue a card with the same contents as the previous encoding card quickly and accurately. [Structure] A signal 11 is given from the data input unit 3 to the personal computer main body 2 in advance, and this system is set to the data registration mode.
And master card 01 with the data you want to register written
Is read by the card reader / writer 4 via the card hopper 6, and the read data is registered in the personal computer body 2. Next, give a signal 12 from the data input section 3 to the personal computer body 2,
This system is in the card issuing mode. Then, when the issuing card 02 is conveyed to the reader / writer 4 via the hopper 6, the reader / writer 4 sends the previous registration data to the card 0.
After writing and verifying in 2, the normal card is ejected to the stacker 8.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a control method for a card encoding system, for example, in which a large number of magnetic cards are continuously issued while writing the same data as a previously issued card into a magnetic card, and particularly card issuance is speeded up. The present invention relates to a control method of a card encoding system for accurate execution.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the case of issuing a large number of cards having the same data content such as a telephone card, in the conventional card encoding system, when setting the encoded data, input of numbers (frequency, amount of money, etc.) is required. Each time the card was issued, data was set by operating the input means such as the keyboard of the personal computer.

[0003]

However, in the encoding data setting method as described above, it takes time to input the data by hand, and the input data tends to be unreliable. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a control method of a card encoding system that can solve such a problem.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a control method of a card encoding system of the present invention comprises a card reader / writer (4 etc.) and means for inputting data (data input section). 3 (for example, the personal computer main body 2 or the like) through the card reader / writer, and one or a plurality of cards (carried through the card hopper 6 or the like) for one or a plurality of cards (issuing card 02 or the like)
In the card encoding system for writing and issuing data to and from the master card (01, in which data to be registered in this system is registered in advance as a data registration mode (for example, by outputting the data registration mode signal 11 via the data input unit 3)). Etc.) (via card hopper 6 etc.)
After the card reader / writer reads the data and registers the data as described above, the system is switched to the card issuing mode (by outputting the card issuing mode signal 12 via the data input unit 3). To issue a card.

[0005]

The card encoding system is provided with a mode for registering encoded data, and in that mode, the master card in which the data to be registered is written is read by the card reader / writer to register the data, and then the operation of this system. The mode is returned to the card issuing mode, and a large number of cards are continuously encoded through the card reader / writer using the read registration data as setting data. This allows the same encoding to be performed quickly and accurately.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the configuration of a card encoding system. In the figure, 1 is a CRT, 2 is a personal computer main body, 3 is a data input section to the personal computer main body 2 including a keyboard, etc., 03 is a card issuing machine which communicates with the personal computer main body 2 and issues a card according to a command of a personal computer example. is there.

Next, in this card issuing machine 03, 4 is a card reader / writer as a card reading / writing means,
5 is a power source for this reader / writer, 6 is a reader / writer 4
It is installed on the card entrance side (right side in this figure) of
A card hopper for feeding and supplying cards to the writer 4, 7 is an error stacker that is also provided at the card entrance side and holds error cards in a stack, and 8 is provided at the card exit side of the reader / writer 4 (left side in this figure). A stacker 9 for stacking and holding encoded cards is a main control unit which is a main control unit in the issuing machine 03.

Next, 01 is a master card in which data to be registered in the main body of the personal computer is written, and 02 is an issuing card. Next, 11 is a data registration mode signal input from the data input section 3 to the personal computer body 2, and 12 is a card issuing mode signal. FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining the operation of FIG. 1, and reference numerals S1 to S10 indicate the steps. Next, FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

When performing card encoding, a data registration mode signal 11 is input to the personal computer main body 2 through the data input section 3 in advance to set this system in the data registration mode (S1), and the data to be registered is written. In this example, the master card 01 is placed in the card hopper 6 and supplied to the card reader / writer 4. As a result, the reader / writer 4 reads the contents of the master card 01, and the read data is sent to the personal computer body 2 for registration and storage (S
2).

Next, the card issuing mode signal 12 is input to the personal computer main body 2 via the data input section 3 to switch the operation mode of this system to the encode mode (S3). Then, the issuing card 02 is set in the card hopper 6 (S
4) The card 02 is conveyed to the reader / writer 4 (S5). The reader / writer 4 writes the data previously registered by the master card 01 into the card 02 and encodes it (S6).

Next, the written data is read by the reader / writer 4 to confirm whether the written data is the same as the registration setting data (S).
7). If the data is the same (branch Y), the reader / writer 4 discharges the card 02 to the stacker 8 as a correct issue card (S8), but if not the error card is an error card. Is returned to the inlet side and discharged to the error stacker 7 (S9).

In this manner, the above operation is continuously performed until the card 02 is exhausted in the hopper 6 (S10).

[0013]

According to the present invention, an encoding data registration mode is provided, and in that mode, a master card on which data to be registered is written is read by a card reader / writer to register the data, and then the data is registered. This system is switched to the card issue mode, and the issue card is encoded using the above-mentioned read data as setting data, so when issuing a card with the same encoded data as the previously encoded card, By using the encoding card as the master card, the data input time can be shortened and the reliability of the data can be improved.
