The print head 34 is composed of, for example, a thermal head, and prints the departure station, destination station, and transit station as well as image data of the name. The write head 37 records the departure station, destination station, transit station, fare data, issuing station data, issue date, period data, etc. on the magnetic recording section on the back of the supplied commuter pass. The reading head 38 reads data recorded on the magnetic recording section on the back side of the commuter pass using the writing head 37, and the control section 5 (to be described later)
1. The card alignment section 39 aligns the credit card, which is narrower than a commuter pass, so that it can be conveyed correctly on the conveyance path 33. The card tip detector 36 and card insertion detector 40 are well-known devices that optically detect the card.

In such a configuration, issuing of a commuter pass will be explained. That is, the commuter passes in the storage section 31 are taken out one by one by the take-out mechanism 32 and guided onto the conveyance path 33. As a result, the commuter pass moves along the transport path 33 along the arrow a.
direction, and is first guided to the print head 34. This print head 34 prints the departure station, destination station, and transit station, as well as image data of the person's name. The commuter pass printed by this print head 34 is fixed in a fixing section 35 and then guided to a writing head 37. This write head 37 records departure station, destination station, transit station, fare data, issuing station data, etc. on the magnetic recording section on the back side of the supplied commuter pass.
Issue date, period data, etc. are recorded. This write head 3
The commuter pass passed through 7 is guided to a reading head 38.

The reading head 38 reads the data recorded by the writing head 37, and then the data is issued from the issuing/inserting port 14.

Next, the handling of credit cards will be explained. That is, the credit card issued and inserted from the insertion slot 14 is transported on the transport path 33 in the direction b. As a result, the credit card is first guided to the card alignment section 39. After the credit card is aligned by the card alignment section 39, it is guided to the reading head 38. This reading head 38 reads transaction data (payment information) such as membership number, expiration date, name, etc. recorded on the magnetic stripe of the supplied credit card, and supplies it to the control section 51 . When the tip of the credit card that has passed through the reading head 38 corresponds to the card tip detector 36, the conveyance path 3
The conveyance of No. 3 is reversed, and the credit card is conveyed on the conveyance path 33 in the direction a. Thereby, a credit card is issued via the writing head 37, the reading head 38, and the card alignment section 39, and is ejected from the insertion slot 14.

Next, the electric circuit of the ticket issuing device 24 will be explained using FIG. 4. That is, 51 is a control section, and the ticket issuing device 2
4. It controls the entire system. Driver 52.53.
54, 55 and 56 are the take-out mechanism 32, respectively.
It drives the print head 34, fixing section 35, writing head 37, and card alignment section 39. Also, the driver 57
rotates the motor 58 and drives the conveyor belts 41, 42, 43, conveyor rollers 44, 44, etc., thereby moving the commuter pass on the conveyance path 33 in the direction of arrow a, and the credit card in the direction of arrow a or b. This is what allows you to move to. In general, read data read from the read head 38 is supplied to the control unit 51 via an amplifier 59.

In addition, the card tip detector 36 and the card insertion detector 4
A detection signal of 0 is also supplied to the control section 51.

The control section 51 drives each section in accordance with ticket issuing data supplied from the CPU 13 to issue a commuter pass. Further, the control unit 51 determines whether or not the read data read from the magnetic recording section on the back side of the commuter pass supplied from the reading head 38 is the same as the data recorded by the writing head 37. This is to determine whether the ticket can be used at an automatic ticket gate. In general, the control section 51 outputs transaction data supplied from the reading head 3 to the CPLJ 13.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. For example, now, input the departure station using the departure station ship group 3, input the destination station using the destination station button group 4, input the transit station using the transit station button group 5, and enter the other commuter pass issuance conditions using the keypad, numeric keypad, etc. Suppose that the input is made using 7 or the like. By inputting this selection, the CPU 13 inputs the departure station, destination station, transit station, fare, etc. to the CRT controller 22.
The image is displayed on the CRT display device 1 using .

Thereafter, after confirming the displayed contents, the staff member presses an issue button (not shown). Then, the CPU 13 outputs a print command and print data to the ticket issuing device 24. Thereby, the ticket issuing device 24 uses the display pattern of the C'RT controller 22 to print on paper in a predetermined format. The name and age written on the application form will also be transcribed onto this form. As a result, the desired commuter pass is issued from the issuing port 14.

That is, when the print command and print data are supplied to the control section 51, the control section 51 drives the take-out mechanism 32 to take out one commuter pass from the storage section 31 and guide it to the conveyance path 33. Thereby, the commuter pass is conveyed on the conveyance path 33 and first guided to the print head 34. Then,
The control unit 51 drives the print head 34 to print the departure station, arrival station, and transit station as print data on the commuter pass, as well as image data of the name. The commuter pass printed by this print head 34 is fixed in a fixing section 35 and then guided to a writing head 37.

Then, the control section 51 uses the write head 37 to record the departure station, destination station, transit station, fare data, issuing station data, issuing date, period data, etc. on the magnetic recording section on the back of the commuter pass.

The commuter pass that has passed through this writing head 37 is then guided to a reading head 38. The read head 38 reads the data recorded by the write head 37 and supplies it to the control section 51. Thereby, the control unit 51 determines whether the read data read from the magnetic recording section on the back side of the commuter pass supplied from the reading head 38 is the same as the data recorded by the writing head 37. , it is determined whether the ticket can withstand use in an automatic ticket gate. This determination result is supplied from the control section 51 to the CPL 113. After that, the commuter pass is .

Issuance: Issued from the insertion slot 14. At this time, if it is determined that the ticket can withstand use at automatic ticket gates, the CP
U12 notifies that the normal issuing operation has been performed. Also,
If it is determined that the ticket cannot be used in an automatic ticket gate, the CPU 12 notifies that an abnormal issuance operation has been performed. The commuter pass issued as described above is issued to the passenger by the staff member in exchange for cash. Further, when determining the normal issuing operation, the CPtJ 13 stores the ticket issuing data in the cash processing storage area 12a of the storage device 12.
The transaction amount, the cumulative amount of cash transactions, etc. are stored.

Additionally, if a credit card is given instead of cash when issuing a commuter pass to the above-mentioned passenger, the staff member will issue the pass,
A credit card is inserted into the insertion slot 14, and a card payment card 15 is inserted.

Then, a credit card acceptance signal is supplied from the CPLI 13 to the control unit 51. Thereby, the control unit 51 determines whether a credit card is accepted according to the signal from the CPtJ 13 and the detection signal from the card insertion detector 40, and rotates the motor 58 in the reverse direction. Then, the credit card issued and inserted from the insertion slot 14 is transported on the transport path 33 in the direction b. As a result, the credit card is first guided to the card alignment section 39, and after the credit card is aligned by the card alignment section 39, it is guided to the reading head 38. Transaction data such as membership number, expiration date, and name recorded on the credit card's magnetic stripe (
payment information) and supplies it to the control unit 51. Then,
The control unit 51 outputs transaction data supplied from the reading head 38 to the CPU 13. As a result, the CPU 13
It is determined whether the supplied transaction data is correct, and if it is correct, the above-mentioned ticketing data, the above-mentioned credit card transaction data (membership number, etc.), transaction amount, and The total amount of credit card transactions is stored, and the CRT display device 1 notifies the completion of payment processing. The data stored in the credit card processing storage area 12b will be retrieved later, and the transaction amount or transaction amount plus fees, interest, etc. will be deducted from the designated account of the financial institution corresponding to the credit card. .

This procedure may be the same as the current credit card system. Further, if the CPU 13 determines that the supplied transaction data is incorrect, the CRT display device 1 notifies error processing. Further, when the tip of the credit card that has passed through the reading head 38 corresponds to the card tip detector 36 and the detection signal is supplied to the control section 51, the control section 51 rotates the motor 58 in the forward direction to Transport the card in direction a. Thereby, a credit card is issued via the writing head 37, the reading head 38, and the card alignment section 39, and is ejected from the insertion slot 14.

In addition, when the clerk makes a payment for the day, he or she inserts a payment key (in field terminology, this is called a cash balance key, not shown). Then, the CPU 13 reads out the cumulative amount of cash processing from the 12 cash processing storage areas 12a of the storage device and displays it on the CRT display device 1. As a result, the clerk matches the total amount of cash on hand with the displayed amount and makes a payment. To be more precise, confirm that the amount obtained by subtracting the change reserve from the cash on hand matches the displayed amount. In addition, the staff member
When making a payment to a credit company, a credit payment key (not shown) is input. Then, CPU13
is the 12 credit card processing storage area 1 of the storage device.
Transaction data (membership number, etc.) and transaction amount are read out from 2b, displayed on the CRT display device 1, and output to a printer or magnetic tape (not shown).

Thereby, the clerk performs payment processing procedures with the corresponding credit company in accordance with the display.

As mentioned above, since the amount of cash issued and the content of credit card issued are stored in separate areas, during payment processing, the cash held by the clerk and the cash processing storage area are stored. Settlement processing can be performed simply by comparing the amount with the total amount of the commuter pass issued during cash processing, which improves operability and reduces the burden on staff. Further, since the details of the credit card processing are stored in the credit card processing storage area, there is no need to separately leave evidence of the credit card issuing processing.

In the above embodiments, the credit card was used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to use a cash card used at a bank or the like. In this case, a PIN verification function is added to execute the transaction. Alternatively, online transactions may be performed.

Further, the card payment information, ie, the transaction number, etc., may be entered manually using a numeric keypad or the like.

Generally speaking, in the above example, the explanation was given using a commuter pass issuing machine as an example, but the explanation is not limited to this, but it can also be applied to other vehicles, parking lots, food tickets, etc.
Applicable to various automatic transaction devices such as issuing machines for securities such as cash vouchers, gambling tickets, and stock certificates, vending machines for various goods such as food, drinks, and cigarettes, coin laundry machines, gaming machines, juke boxes, and other service providing machines. can do.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an automatic transaction device that has good operability and can reduce the burden on staff and post-processing.

The name and age written on the application form will also be transcribed onto this form. With this, the desired commuter pass is issued at issue port 14.
It will be issued soon. That is, when the print command and print data are supplied to the control section 51, the control section 51 drives the take-out mechanism 32, which takes out one commuter pass from the storage section 31 and guides it to the conveyance path 33. In other words, the commuter pass is conveyed on a conveyance path 33 and first led to a door 34 for printing. Then,
The control unit 51 drives the print head 34 to print the departure station, destination station, and route as print data on the commuter pass, as well as image data of the name. The commuter pass printed by this print head 34 is fixed by a fixing section 35, and then guided to the dome 31 for writing. Then, the control unit 5
1 to write, use the do 37 to write the departure station, arrival station, route, fare data, issuing station data, on the magnetic recording section on the back of the commuter pass.
Record issue date, period data, etc. Next, the commuter pass that has passed through the door 37 is guided to the reading head 38 for writing. In the reading mode 38, the data recorded in the writing mode 37 is read and supplied to the control section 51. Thereby, the control unit 51 determines whether the read data read from the magnetic recording section on the back side of the commuter pass supplied from the reader 38 is the same as the data recorded by the write head 31. In particular, it is determined whether the ticket can withstand use in an automatic ticket gate. This determination result is determined by the control unit 51.
It is supplied to CPU JJ from. Thereafter, the commuter pass is issued and issued from the insertion slot 14. At this time, if the ticket is determined to be able to withstand use at an automatic ticket gate,
The PU 12 notifies that the normal issuing operation has been performed. Further, if it is determined that the ticket cannot be used in an automatic ticket gate, the CPU 12 notifies that an abnormal issuance operation has been performed. An attendant issues the commuter pass issued as described above to the passenger in exchange for cash. Further, when determining the normal issuing operation, the CPU 13 causes the cash processing storage area 12m of the storage device 12 to store the ticket issuing data, transaction amount, cumulative amount of cash transactions, etc. Additionally, if a credit card is given instead of cash when issuing a commuter pass to the above-mentioned passenger, the staff member will issue the pass,
A credit card is inserted into the insertion slot 14, and the card payment button 15 is pressed. Then, a credit card acceptance signal is supplied from the CPU 13 to the control unit 51. Accordingly, the control unit 51 determines whether a credit card is accepted according to the signal from the CPU 13 and the detection signal from the card insertion detector 40, and rotates the motor 58 in the reverse direction. Then, the credit card issued and inserted from the insertion slot 14 is transported on the transport path 33 in the direction b. Accordingly, the credit card is first guided to the card alignment section 39, and after the credit card is aligned by the card alignment section 39, it is guided to the reading head 38. This reading head 38 reads transaction data (payment information) such as the membership number, expiration date, and name recorded on the magnetic stripe of the supplied credit card and supplies it to the control section 51 . Then, the control unit 51 outputs the transaction data supplied from the door 38 to the CPU J 3 for reading. According to this, the CPU 13 judges whether the supplied transaction data is correct or not, and if it is correct, the above-mentioned ticketing data and the above-mentioned credit card transaction are stored in the credit card processing storage area 12b of the storage device 12. Data (membership number, etc.), transaction amount, cumulative total of credit card transaction amount, etc. are stored, and the CRT display device 1 notifies the end of the payment process. Credit. The data stored in the credit card processing storage area 12b will be retrieved later, and the transaction amount or transaction amount plus fees, interest, etc. will be deducted from the designated account at the financial institution corresponding to the credit card. This procedure can be the same as the current credit card system. Also, CPU
If ZJ determines that the supplied transaction data is incorrect, the CRT display device 1 notifies error processing. Further, when the tip of the credit card that has passed through the reading head 38 corresponds to the card tip detector 36 and the detection signal is supplied to the control section 51, the control section 51 controls the motor 58.
rotates in the forward direction and conveys the credit card in one direction. Accordingly, a credit card is issued via the writing head 37, the reading head 38, and the card alignment section 39, and is ejected from the insertion slot 14. Further, when the clerk makes a payment for the day, he or she inserts a payment key (in field terminology, this is called a cash balance key, not shown). Then, the CPU 13 reads out the cumulative amount of cash processing from the 12 cash processing storage areas 12m of the storage device, and displays it on the CRT display device 1. Thereby, the clerk matches the total amount of cash on hand with the displayed amount and settles the transaction. To be more precise, confirm that the amount obtained by subtracting the change reserve from the cash on hand matches the displayed amount. In addition, the staff member
When making a payment to a credit company, a credit payment key (not shown) is input. Then, CPU13
is the 12 credit card processing storage area 1 of the storage device.
The transaction data (membership number, etc.) and transaction amount are read out from 2b and displayed on the CRT display device 1, and output to a printer or magnetic tape (not shown). Depending on the information displayed, the clerk will perform payment processing procedures with the corresponding credit card company. As mentioned above, since the amount of cash issued and the content of credit card issued are stored in separate areas, during payment processing, the cash held by the clerk and the cash processing storage area are stored. Settlement processing can be performed simply by comparing the amount with the total amount of the commuter pass issued during cash processing, which improves operability and reduces the burden on staff. Further, since the details of the credit card processing are stored in the credit card processing storage area, there is no need to separately leave evidence of the credit card issuing processing. In the above embodiments, the credit card was used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to use a cash card used at a bank or the like. In this case, a PIN verification function is added to execute the transaction. Alternatively, online transactions may be performed. Further, the payment information, transaction number, etc. of the card may be entered manually using a numeric keypad or the like. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the commuter pass issuing machine was explained as an example, but the invention is not limited to this, and it can also be used for other transportation tickets, outside parking lots, meal tickets, etc.
Various automatic transaction devices such as issuing machines for securities such as cash coupons, gambling tickets, and stock certificates, vending machines for various goods such as food, drinks, and cigarettes, coin launderettes, Derm equipment, and devices that provide services such as Juke and Kusu. It can be applied to Further, in the above embodiment, after the securities are issued, the credit card is inserted to perform the payment process, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may also be configured to issue securities. In this case, as shown in chart 70 in FIG. 6, the process is performed by determining whether the customer is a cash customer or a credit card customer. By doing this, you will not have to worry about having to cancel your card after it has been issued because you find out that it cannot be used. [Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an automatic transaction device that has good operability and can reduce the burden on staff or post-processing. 4.
