Description of the Related Art Generally, a customer, in advance, pays a fixed amount of money as a product price or service price to a product vending machine that sells products according to the customer's request and a service automatic payment machine that provides services. Some use a prepaid card (hereinafter, referred to as PPC) that records what is done to perform payment processing.

By the way, when the residual value after use of the PPC (the available balance, the remaining number of times or the remaining number) becomes less than the minimum available value of the device to be used thereafter, the PPC is In this device, a state in which it cannot be used occurs due to lack of residual value.

When such a situation occurs, the first conventional PPC processing device sells a product by paying the shortage in cash by the customer when the inserted PPC has a shortage of residual value. I am trying to achieve the purpose of service benefits.

In addition, the second conventional PPC processing apparatus continuously inserts two or more cards into the apparatus including the PPC (which may be called a fractional card) whose residual value is reduced, and all cards are inserted. The residual value of each is summed up, and the total value is settled.

[0006]

However, in the first PPC processing apparatus, the original advantage of the PPC system that coins do not have to be carried around is lost. Further, in the second PPC processing apparatus, since it is possible to take in two or more cards inside the apparatus, read, store, and perform arithmetic processing, the structure becomes large and the control becomes complicated. , Product vending machines and service automatic payment machines become expensive.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and when the residual value becomes small after the use of PPC, the residual value is reduced by another structure by a simple structure and control.
PPC that enables the collection of C cards to make effective use of the residual value of PPC, and at the same time possesses the original advantages of the PPC system, while also being able to provide vending machines and service payment machines at low cost. An object is to provide a processing device.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is a conveying means for conveying an inserted PPC through a predetermined position, and a value provided in the predetermined position and recorded on the PPC.

Memory / erasure control of means,
And a control unit for performing arithmetic control for adding the two read values, the control unit including the first inserted unit.
After reading and storing the value from the PPC, the value of the first PPC is erased and the first PPC is returned or collected in the cabin, and after reading and storing the value from the second PPC inserted next, the value is read from the first PPC. Value read and the second PP
The value read from C is added, and the result of the addition is added to the second PP.
It is characterized in that it is controlled so that it is written in C and returned.

As another embodiment, the present invention provides a transport means for transporting the inserted PPC through a predetermined position, and a reading means and a PPC provided at the predetermined position for reading the value recorded in the PPC. Writing means for writing a value, a storage means for storing the read value, a first switch for instructing addition processing, a second switch for instructing settlement processing, a transfer control of the transfer means, and a reading means. Read control and write control of the writing means, storage / erasure control of the storage means, to add the two values read, and the product discharged by the connected vending machine or the automatic service payment machine benefits And a control means for performing arithmetic control for subtracting the value of the added service from the addition result, the control means reads and stores the value from the first PPC inserted previously, and the first switch turns off. If the value of the first PPC is erased, the value of the first PPC is returned, or the first PPC is returned to the aircraft, or the value is read from the second PPC inserted next and stored. 2P
The value read from the PC is added, and when the second switch is turned on, the addition result is written to the second PPC and the second value is written.
If the vending machine discharges the product or the automatic service payment machine provides the service before the PPC is returned and the second switch is turned on, the consideration is subtracted from the addition result, and the second switch When is turned on, the subtraction result is written in the second PPC and the second PPC is returned.

[0010]

With the above arrangement, in the first invention, the value recorded on the PPC is read by the reading means while the PPC inserted previously is conveyed by the conveying means.
The read value is stored by the storage means. The PPC that has finished reading is erased by the writing means and then returned or collected in the device. The value of the next inserted PPC is similarly read and stored.
Then, the value read and stored from the previous PPC and the value read and stored from the subsequent PPC are added.
The addition result is written in the PPC inserted later by the writing means and returned by the conveying means.

Further, in the second invention, the above PPC is used.
When is inserted, the value recorded in it is read and stored, and the PPC is returned or collected. After that, when the first switch is turned on, the value read and stored from the PPC inserted thereafter is added to the value read and stored from the previous PPC based on the addition instruction. When the second switch is turned on, the PPC is returned with the addition result recorded therein. If the product purchase operation or the service receiving operation is performed before the second switch operation,
The amount of money, the number of times, or the frequency corresponding to the product or service is subtracted from the addition result. Based on the ON operation of the second switch, the subtraction result is recorded in the PPC and returned.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the PPC of this embodiment
The PPC 2 is inserted into an insertion opening (also serving as a receiving opening) 1 opened on the customer service surface, when the processed PPC is conveyed to the insertion opening 1 for returning to the customer, and the PPC. When the PPC 2 is received, the sensor 10A for detecting this, the sensor 10B for detecting this when the PPC 2 reaches the end of the conveyance path, and the PPC inserted in the insertion port through the predetermined conveyance path. Similarly, the transport unit 20 for reciprocating the transport path and the reading unit 30A for reading the value data recorded in the PPC via the read head 31 provided at a predetermined position on the transport path, similarly to the transport path. A writing unit 30B for writing the value data after the arithmetic processing to the PPC via a writing head 32 provided at a predetermined position on the way and a value data read by the reading unit 30A from the PPC is stored. A storage unit 40 for storing the information, a display unit 50 for displaying guidance texts on how to use the device to the apparatus user, and a value (remaining amount, remaining number, remaining number, etc.) read from the PPC, and each unit described above. And a control unit 60 for controlling the above. The storage unit 40 stores a system program and a working program, which are a series of operation commands for executing a predetermined operation of the present apparatus.

The control unit 60 is composed of a microcomputer. In order to realize the function of this embodiment, the control unit 60 controls the transport unit 20 to perform forward transport or reverse transport based on signals from the sensors 10A and 10B. Transport control means 6
1. Read / write control means 62 for controlling reading of the reading unit 30A and writing of the writing unit 30B, storage unit 40

The control unit 60 having the above-described configuration starts program execution, that is, sequence control, based on the PPC insertion detection signal from the sensor 10A, and performs a series of operations as shown in FIG. That is, the control unit 60 controls the sensor 10A.
When the PPC insertion detection signal P1 is input from (when Y in step number S2), the conveyance control unit 61 causes the conveyance section 2 to move.
PPC inserted first by rotating 0 forward (first PPC)
Starts to be conveyed inside the apparatus (S4). Meanwhile, the reading unit 30A reads the value (x) recorded in the first PPC via the reading head 31 at a predetermined timing, and the storage control unit 63 stores the read value in the first area of the storage unit 40. Yes (S6). Also, the first PP
Display unit 50 to let the customer confirm the value read from C
To be displayed.

When the first PPC transported by the transport unit 20 reaches the end of the transport path (when Y in S8), the transport control means 61 is triggered by the arrival detection signal P2 from the sensor 10B.
Stops the transportation, and subsequently, the transportation control unit 61 reverses the transportation unit 20 to start the backward transportation of the first PPC (S10),
During the reverse transmission, the read / write control means 62 causes the writing section 3 to operate.
The value data recorded in the PPC is erased or the 0 data is written in the 0B via the write head 32, and the first PPC is conveyed toward the insertion slot 1.

When the first PPC is transported to the insertion slot 1 (Y in S14), the transport control means 61 stops the reverse rotation of the transport section based on the discharge detection signal p1 from the sensor 10A (S16). When the reception detection signal from the sensor 10A, which means that the first PPC is taken out by the customer from the insertion port, is input to the control unit 60, the display control unit 65 displays the next PPC (second PPC) to the customer on the display unit 50. Character display prompting for insertion is performed (S18). The customer may be guided by voice output together with or instead of the character display. Based on this, when the customer inserts the second PPC (Y in S20), as in the previous case, the transport unit 20 is normally rotated and the second PPC is transported to the inside of the device (S).
22), meanwhile, the value (y) recorded in the second PPC is read by the read / write control unit 62, and is stored in the second area of the storage unit 40 by the storage control unit 63 (S24). At this time, the value read from the second PPC is also displayed on the display unit 50 so that the customer can confirm the value.

The value (x) of the first PPC stored in the memory before the second PPC is transported to the end of the transport path.
And the value (y) of the second PPC are added by the calculation control means 64, and the addition result (x + y) is stored in the third storage unit 40.
Stored in the area. The result of this addition is also displayed on the display unit 50 for the same purpose as described above (S26).

When the second PPC reaches the end of the transport path (S
28, Y), the transport control means 61 stops the transport of the transport unit 20 based on the detection signal P2 from the sensor 10B, and subsequently reverses the rotation and waits for the second PPC.
To be sent back (S30). During that backhaul,
The write control unit 62 causes the writing unit 30B to write the write head 32.
Write the addition result to the second PPC via (S3
2) Further, the read / write control means 62 reads the written contents via the read head 31, and the arithmetic control means 6
4 collates the written contents with the addition result. If the collation results are the same, the second PPC is conveyed to the insertion port 1 as it is, and when ejection is detected (Y in S34), the backward feeding of the conveyance unit 20 is stopped (S36). And the second P
When it is confirmed that the PC is received by the customer based on the detection signal P1 from the sensor 10A (Y in S38),
One PPC processing program ends.

On the other hand, when the collation results do not match, the transport control means 61 causes the transport section 20 to rotate the normal direction again,
After transporting the second PPC to the end of the transport path, the transport unit 20 is reversed again, and writing, reading, and collation of the addition result with respect to the second PPC are retried, and it is determined whether the results match or do not match. In the case of coincidence, as in the case described above, it is returned to the insertion slot 1. Again, if there is a mismatch,
While the second PPC is held in the apparatus, the display unit 50 displays a message indicating that the second PPC has been canceled due to a failure and a message requesting to call a person in charge, and is maintained in the stopped state. Since the above-mentioned collation after writing is a well-known method, it is omitted in FIG. 3 for the sake of simplifying the drawing.

Then, as in the prior art, when the clerk opens the door of the processing apparatus and confirms that the PPC is held therein, the PPC is taken out and displayed on the display section. Failure of the PPC processor by recording the addition result on memo paper etc. and issuing a new PPC in which the same amount, the same number of times or the same value as the addition result is written by a separately prepared PPC issuing machine. It is possible to deal with.

In the above embodiment, after the value data has been read and stored in the first PPC, the writing head 32 may write "0", and then the value data may be collected in the collecting box 100 inside the machine.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In this embodiment, the normal product vending machine uses the first PP
This is a combined machine with the function of adding the residual value of C to the second PPC. Therefore, in this embodiment, the residual value (x) of the first PPC is added to the value (y) of the second PPC, the addition result (x + y) is written to the second PPC, and the second PPC is returned. A case is later included in which the consideration (z) of the designated product is subtracted from the addition result based on the customer's product purchase operation, the subtraction result (x + yz) is written to the second PPC, and the second PPC is returned. Be done. In the case of a product vending machine, the residual value and the product value often mean the amount of money. In addition, the present embodiment can be similarly applied to, for example, a service automatic payment machine for paying services (services) such as a gaming machine and a telephone, and in that case, the above-mentioned residual value and designated service. The value of means either money, frequency or frequency.

Further, the account designating switch 83 is an internally illuminated button switch that displays the price of each product when the price of each product to be sold is different, and purchases when the price of the product to be sold is one type. It is an internally illuminated button switch that displays the number of products. The button of the account that can be purchased with the total amount of the remaining PPC used and the input amount is internally lit to show the effective range.

The merchandise discharging unit 90 has a P inserted by the customer.
When the remaining amount of the PC or the total amount of the remaining amount and the input amount is larger than the total amount of the product designated by the operation of the account designating switch 83 of the operation unit 80, the designated product is discharged to the receiving port 4. The known one can be used.

With the above arrangement, in the apparatus of this embodiment, the customer sequentially inserts two PPCs, adds the residual values of those PPCs, records the addition result in the second PPC, and returns it. Can also be used to receive PPC
The desired product can also be purchased by inserting and / or cashing. And, in the case of product purchase, the payment method is cash only, one PPC only, one PPC and cash total value, two PPC total value, two PPC total value and cash total Any of the values is possible. These will be sequentially described below.

[1] When Purchasing a Product Only with Cash This device constantly monitors whether the PPC is inserted or the cash is inserted depending on the presence or absence of a signal from the sensor 10A and the discriminator 2 or 3. It is in a standby state (S1, S2).
In the present embodiment, when the user owns the card, in consideration of preferentially using the remaining amount of the card, first, it is monitored whether or not the card is inserted. When purchasing with cash only (when S1 is N), when the user deposits cash (when S1 is Y), the amount of money c is displayed on the display unit 50 based on the signal from the discriminator 2 or 3. (S2), the purchaseable range (effective range) is displayed by the input amount (S2).
4). Next, it is checked whether an account has been selected (S5), and if not selected, the process returns to step 2 to check whether more cash has been input. The customer selects the account designation switch 8
If you press 3 to select an account, the product discharge unit 9
A control signal is given to 0 to release the designated product (S6), the difference between the input amount c and the purchase amount p is calculated, and the change amount (cp) is released (S7). Close this transaction.

[2] When purchasing a product with only one PPC When the user inserts the PPC (when Y in S1), the inserted PPC is conveyed (S8) and also from the PPC. The balance x is read, stored, and displayed (S10). Also in this case, the effective range of the PPC is displayed on the display unit (S10). When the inserted PPC is transported to the end of the transport path (Y in S11), the transport is stopped (S12).

Next, it is checked whether or not the first switch 81 has been turned on (S13). If not, it is checked whether or not an account has been selected based on the signal from the account designating switch (S14) and selected. In the case (Y in S14), the product discharge unit 90 is caused to discharge the product (S15), and the reverse transportation of the inserted PPC is started (S16).
The calculation is performed according to the calculation formula (c-x-p) (S17), the calculation result is written in the PPC (S18), and the step S is performed.
Jump to 46. That is, after confirming that the PPC has been discharged, the reverse transportation is stopped (S47), and the PPC is
Is taken out (Y in S48), the transaction ends.

[3] When purchasing a product with one PPC and cash When the user inserts the PPC, the PPC balance display portion 51
If the remaining amount displayed in is less than the purchase amount of the desired product, cash may be subsequently inserted to achieve the purpose of purchasing the product. At this time, if no cash is selected (N in S14) and cash is thrown in (Y in S19), the cashing amount is displayed on the cash cashing amount display section 53 and the effective range is displayed (S20). , S21). Then, it is checked whether or not an account has been selected (S22). If an account is selected, the product is released (S23), the magnitudes of c and p are compared first, and if c> p (Y in S24), the difference (cp) is released as change. Yes (S25). Also, P
Start sending back the PC (S26) and set the original balance x to PPC.
(S27), the process jumps to step S46. If c> p is not satisfied in step S24,
The calculation is performed according to the calculation formula {(c + x) -p}, and the calculation result is written in the PPC (S28, S29), and then the step S
Jump to 46.

[4] When integrating two PPCs into one PPC When the first PPC (first PPC) is inserted into the card insertion slot 1 (Y in S1), Similarly,
The carrying unit 20 starts carrying the first PPC (S8), during which the card reader / writer 30 reads the residual value (x) recorded in the first PPC and stores it in the first area of the storage unit 40, and The residual value is displayed on the balance display unit 51 (S9). After inserting the first card, the first
When the switch 81 is turned on (Y in S13), the transport unit 20
Reverses and starts to send back the first PPC (S30).
"0" is written in the PPC (S31) and returned to the insertion slot 1 (S32, S33). Further, a display prompting the insertion of the next card is displayed on the guide display section 54 (S34). According to this, when the user inserts the second PPC (second PPC) (Y in S35), the residual value (y) recorded in the second PPC is read and the second value in the storage unit 40 is read as in the previous case. The value is stored in the area and the residual value is displayed on the PPC balance display unit 51 (S37).

Subsequently, the residual value (x) read from the first PPC and the residual value (y) read from the second PPC are added (S38), and the addition result (x + y) is stored in the third area of the storage unit. At the same time, the addition result is displayed on the total value display section 52 (S39).

When the inserted second PPC is conveyed to the end of the conveying path, the conveyance is stopped (S40, S41), and at the same time, the effective range of the total amount of the remaining amounts of the two PPCs is displayed (S42).

When the user wants to write the total value of the balances of the two inserted PPCs into the second PPC, the second PP
Do not operate the account designating switch after inserting C
The switch 82 should be turned on. When the second switch is turned on (Y in S43), the second PPC is sent back (S4).
4) At the same time, the arithmetic control means 6 of the control unit up to that point
4 is the calculation result, that is, the addition result (x + y) of the storage unit 40 is the residual value (y) recorded in the PPC.
Instead, the new residual value is written in the second PPC (S45), the process proceeds to step S46 described above, the card is conveyed to the card insertion slot 1 and returned (S47, S48).

On the other hand, after the customer inserts the second PPC, the balance (x +
In the case where the product purchase operation is performed using y), that is, as in the case of a normal vending machine, the account designation switch 83
When is pressed (Y in S49), the designated product is released (S50), and at the same time, the transport control means 61 of the control unit 60 'causes the transport unit 20 to wait at the end of the transport path.
The backward transmission of the PC is started (S51).

On the other hand, the arithmetic control means 64 of the control unit 60 '
Is the total amount (x +) based on the arithmetic expression {(x + y) -p}.
The purchase price (p) is subtracted from y) (S52), and the calculation result is stored in the fourth area 11 of the storage unit. When the card reader / writer control means 62 continues to write the subtraction result to the PPC as a new residual value (S53), jump to step S46, and perform a read check to confirm that the data has been correctly written. Transports the PPC to the insertion slot 1 and returns it to the customer.

[5] When purchasing with two PPCs and cash In step S47, when the account in the effective range displayed on the display unit is not selected, the purchase of the product is desired with the total balance value of the two PPCs. Means not to. Therefore,
Cash is added to the total value to check whether or not the customer desires to purchase a product (S54). If no cash is to be input, the process returns to step S43, and the two PPCs are again used.
If the integration is desired or not, if it is not desired, the presence or absence of the account selection is checked again, and if the integration is desired or the account selection is performed, the procedure already described for each is executed.

Then, when cash is deposited without requesting integration or selecting an account (Y in S54), the amount of the deposit is displayed (S55), and the effective range according to the two PPCs and the amount of cash deposited is displayed. It is displayed (S56), it is confirmed that the account is selected again (S57), the product of the selected account is released (S58), and at the same time the second PPC is sent back (S59), The amount of input x and the amount of purchase c are compared (S60). If c> p, the difference (c-
p) is released as change (S62), and two PPs
The balance total value (x + y) of C is written in the second PPC, and the process jumps to step S46. In step S60, when c> p is not satisfied, the arithmetic expression {(x + y)-(p-
c)} is calculated (S63), and the result is the second P
After writing to the PC, jump to step S46.

[0044]

As described above, according to the first invention, the value recorded in the PPC inserted first is added to the value recorded in the PPC inserted next, and The inserted PPC is returned or collected, and the addition result is written back to the inserted PPC and returned. Therefore, even if the residual value becomes less than the minimum usable value of the PPC utilizing device, It is possible to use the value effectively. Moreover, since the PPCs are inserted and processed one by one, the configuration and control of the card processing unit is simple, so that an inexpensive PPC processing device can be obtained.

According to the second invention, when the first switch is turned on after inserting the PPC, the residual value of the PPC and the residual value of the PPC inserted thereafter are added, and immediately after that, the second value is added. If the switch is turned on, or if the second switch is turned on after the normal product purchase or service receipt operation by operating the account designation switch,
Since the calculation result at that time is recorded and returned to the PPC inserted later, it was found that the residual value of the PPC inserted for the purpose of purchasing the product or receiving the service is less than the minimum available value. At that time, turn on the first switch, insert the second PPC,
The product purchasing operation or the service receiving operation can be continued, and the PPC in possession can be effectively utilized.
