Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce various types of slips by reading a sheet of card containing the status information and printing and also imprinting the contents of the card corresponding to the information designated by an operation key. CONSTITUTION:A user operates keys through an operation part 3 for reservation, check-in, check-out respectively after a magnetic card is put into a card reception part 2. Thus the key input signals are read to a CPU11 and stored to a RAM12. In a reservation mode, for example, the record contents of an emboss part of the card are imprinted on an imprint form of a slip through a print part 4 after the reservation is accepted. Then the reservation data is printed on the imprinted form. Thus a reservation slip is obtained. The magnetic card is sent back to outside and at the same time a fact that the reservation is accepted is displayed at a display part 6. Then the reservation is delivered through a slip discharge part 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a slip issuing device, and particularly to a slip issuing device that issues various slips based on the status information of a card such as a magnetic card given predetermined status information. Regarding the issuing device.

(Prior art and its problems) As is well known, in automatic transaction processing devices such as automatic teller machines, a certain period of time elapses after a key is operated on the operating section and a magnetic card is inserted into the card acceptance section. Then, at the same time as the magnetic card is returned, a slip or the like clearly indicating the amount specified on the operation unit is released to the outside. Therefore, by employing an automatic transaction processing device, counter operations at banks and the like can be simplified.

From this point of view, hotels, inns, etc. are also considering adopting a slip issuing device that can simplify counter operations associated with reservations, check-in, and check-out using magnetic cards.

In this case, it is assumed that the issuance of a slip for the series of reservations, check-in, and check-out is performed based on one magnetic card. Naturally, when individual slips are issued for each reservation, check-in, and check-out, it is possible to prove that each slip was issued based on one magnetic card. By doing so, you can prevent procedural problems later on.

However, in the past, there has been no slip issuing device that issues multiple types of slips using a single magnetic card, and since there is no technical concept underlying such a premise, each slip is There is also no technical idea to be able to prove that the card was issued based on a single magnetic card.

The technical idea applied to automatic transaction processing equipment for bank counter operations is to issue one type of slip with the main purpose of notifying the user of the transaction details and balance at the time of use. Therefore, it cannot be used as the above-mentioned slip issuing device for hotels, inns, etc.

(Objective of the Invention) The object of the invention is to issue individual slips for each reservation, check-in, and check-out based on a single magnetic card (a typical example of a card with status information). To provide a slip issuing device capable of providing each slip with information certifying that each slip is issued based on one magnetic card.

(Structure and Effects of the Invention) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention includes an operation unit capable of inputting specification information specifying the content to be printed on the slip paper; a card reception unit that reads information; a printing unit that imprints status information of the card on the slip paper and prints content corresponding to the specified information to create a predetermined slip; and the specified information. and a control unit which stores contents corresponding to the above and serves as a control center for the operations of each of the sections; When the specified information is input and the contents corresponding thereto are not stored, the control section Returning the card from the card reception unit to the outside, and stopping the printing unit from creating a predetermined slip; When the specified information is input, the corresponding content is not stored. , characterized in that the printing unit creates a predetermined slip, and then the card accepting unit returns the card to the outside, and controls the predetermined slip created by the printing unit to be released to the outside. do.

With such a configuration, it is possible to issue individual slips for each reservation, check-in, and check-out based on a single magnetic card, and each slip can contain the imprinted content. It can be proven that the card was issued based on a single magnetic card.

Furthermore, each form for reservation, check-in, and check-out can be created on one type of form.

(Description of Embodiments) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a slip issuing device to which the present invention is applied.

In the same figure, II! The IJIII section 1 includes the CPU 11.

It centrally controls the operations of the printing section 4, the slip emitting section 51, and the display section 6. Note that the RAM 12 serves as a storage area for various variable data, and the P-ROM 13 stores a management program.

Furthermore, a CPU 11 and a host CPt that manages transaction data.
Data will be sent and received between J7 and J7.

The card reception unit 2 reads the recorded contents of the embossed part of the magnetic card. Note that personal information such as the registration number of the magnetic card holder is recorded in the embossed portion as status information.

The operation unit 3 can specify specification information specifying the content to be printed on the slip paper, for example, by manually operating a key.

The printing unit 4 includes an imprint mechanism (not shown) that imprints the recorded content of the embossed part of the magnetic card read by the card reception unit 2 onto the slip paper, and prints the content corresponding to the specified information from operation 5II3. Each of these mechanisms creates a predetermined slip using the above-mentioned slip paper (see FIGS. 4 to 6).

The slip discharge unit 5 discharges a predetermined slip created by the printing unit 4 to the outside.

The display section 6 provides guidance to the user of the magnetic card.

External part of the slip issuing device of the present invention equipped with such various parts
A schematic diagram is shown in Figure 2. Note that the same symbols as in FIG. 1 indicate corresponding symbols.

In this embodiment, when the magnetic card user inserts the magnetic card into the card acceptance section 2, the card acceptance process is performed, and then the operation section 3 allows the user to make a reservation, check in, or check out. By keying in one of the keys, manual key processing is performed as shown in the flowchart of FIG.

In FIG. 3, in the first step (301), key human power signals from the operating section 6 are sequentially read by the CPU 11, and all read key human power signals are temporarily stored in the RAM 12.

In the following step (302>, it is determined whether or not the reservation key has been keyed in, and if so, step (302) is performed.
Proceed to step 303).

In step (303), it is determined whether or not to accept a reservation from a magnetic card user.

If the reservation is not accepted, the magnetic card accepted by the card reception unit 3 is returned to the outside in step (304), and at the same time, the date on which the reservation cannot be made is displayed on the display unit 6, and the process ends.

If the reservation is to be accepted, the routine proceeds to step (305) and subsequent steps.

First, in step (305), the recorded contents of the embossed part of the magnetic card are imprinted on the imprint part of the slip paper by the imprint mechanism of the printing part 4, and in the following step (306), the recorded contents of the embossed part of the magnetic card are imprinted on the imprint part of the slip paper. The reservation data is printed on the slip paper by the printing mechanism of the printing section 4.

When imprinting and printing for reservation are completed in this way, a reservation slip as shown in FIG. 4 is created.

Once the reservation slip is created, the process proceeds to step (307), where the magnetic card accepted by the card reception section 3 is returned to the outside, and at the same time, a notice indicating that the reservation has been made is displayed on the display section 6.

In the following step (308), the reservation ticket is discharged from the voucher discharging section 5 to the outside, and the process ends.

Further, if in step (302>) a key other than the reservation key has been pressed in, the process proceeds to step (309), where it is determined whether or not the check-in key has been pressed in.

If the check-in key has been keyed in, the process proceeds to step (310), where the imprint mechanism of the printing unit 4 imprints the recorded contents of the embossed part of the magnetic card on the imprint part of the slip paper. In the next step (311), on the imprinted slip paper,
Check-in data is printed by the printing mechanism of the printing unit 4.

When imprinting and printing for check-in are completed in this way, a check-in slip as shown in FIG. 5 is created.

Once the check-in slip is created, step (307)
Proceed to step (30) to return the magnetic card, then proceed to step (30).
Proceeding to step 8), the check-in slip is discharged from the slip discharging unit 5 to the outside, and the process ends.

In Step 1 (309), if the key-in is other than the check-in key, that is, if the check-out key is key-in, the process proceeds to Step (312) and prints on the imprint part of the slip. The imprint mechanism of unit 4 imprints the recorded content on the embossed part of the magnetic card, and in the following step (313), the print mechanism of print unit 4 prints checkout data on the imprinted slip paper. be done.

When imprinting and printing for checkout are completed in this way, a payment slip as shown in FIG. 6 is created.

Once the payment slip is created, the process proceeds to step (307), where the magnetic card is returned, and then the process proceeds to step (308), where the payment slip is ejected from the form discharge unit 5 to the outside, and the process ends.

As described above, in this embodiment, by simply inserting a magnetic card into the card reception section 2 and keying in any of the reservation, check-in, and check-out keys, any of these operations can be performed. , each slip will be created respectively.

Moreover, since the recorded contents of the magnetic card are imprinted on the created slip, it is possible to obtain proof that the acts of reservation, check-in, and check-out were performed without error.

Further, since various types of slips are issued using one type of slip paper through each of these operations, it is possible to eliminate waste such as preparing multiple types of slip paper, which is suitable for maintenance.
