  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, taking as an example a case where the front maintenance terminal device is applied to a cashless terminal device of a cashless system capable of purchasing a voting ticket using a membership card and a mark card. To do.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the front maintenance terminal device according to the present embodiment.
The front maintenance terminal device prints the contents of a purchased voting ticket, a touch panel 1 that is integrated with the display device, an IC card reader 2 that reads an IC card as a membership card, a mark card reader 3 that reads a mark card, and The receipt printer 4 is provided. The touch panel 1 inputs and inquires information related to voting during operation (for example, inputs information related to voting such as information necessary for purchase of voting tickets and inquiries for refunds), and maintenance during maintenance. Input to the menu. In the mark card, various information including a maintenance command is printed on the same card as the voting mark card at the time of purchasing a voting ticket, and the mark card reader 3 reads the information, thereby enabling the input of the maintenance command. In this embodiment, the IC card is read by the IC card reader 2, but an IC card reader / writer may be used. Moreover, the touch panel 1 may not be integrated with the display device.

  The front maintenance terminal device further includes a maintenance card authentication unit 5, a command input method selection unit 6, a command conversion unit 7, a maintenance command execution unit 8, a maintenance mark card authentication unit 9, and a return mark card monitoring unit 9a. And.

  When the IC card is touched to the IC card reader 2, the maintenance card authentication unit 5 authenticates whether or not the IC card is a maintenance card based on information held in the IC card.

  When the IC card is authenticated as a maintenance card, the command input method selection unit 6 selects, based on an instruction from the touch panel 1, whether to input a maintenance command as a mark card or a screen input using the touch panel 1. When the command input method selection unit 6 selects using the mark card, the maintenance command execution unit 8 accepts the maintenance command from the mark card reader 3. When the command input method selection unit 6 selects screen input, the maintenance command execution unit 8 accepts the maintenance command from the touch panel 1.

  Since the touch operation on the touch panel 1 is performed using a button displayed on the normal operation screen, the command conversion unit 7 performs conversion into a maintenance command assigned to the button. Therefore, since the screen of the touch panel 1 is the same as the normal operation screen, the fan receives that it is performing an operation for purchasing a voting ticket. When this maintenance operation is completed without error, maintenance is performed. The fans will not notice that. Of course, if a serious failure has occurred that does not eliminate the error even if the maintenance command is executed, a full-scale repair may be required by opening the front maintenance door of the front maintenance terminal device.

  The maintenance command execution unit 8 executes the maintenance command according to the maintenance command input from the mark card reader 3 or the touch panel 1. The result of the maintenance command execution is printed by the receipt printer 4 and discharged.

  The maintenance mark card authentication unit 9 authenticates whether the mark card inserted into the mark card reader 3 is a maintenance mark card. When the maintenance mark card used for inputting the maintenance command is returned, the return mark card monitoring unit 9a monitors whether or not the maintenance mark card is collected by the maintenance staff. The marked mark card is taken into the front maintenance terminal device.

  The LCD 21 displays voting guidance and a purchase screen during operation, and displays a purchase screen masking the maintenance menu during maintenance. The touch panel 1 performs manual input (place name, buy-out, and amount input) during operation, and performs terminal operation and maintenance command input during maintenance.

  The IC card reader 2 reads the member card during operation, and the read information is sent to the host computer 11 and used for member authentication and the like. The IC card reader 2 also reads the maintenance card during maintenance, and the read information is used by the maintenance card authentication unit 5 for authentication of the maintenance card.

  The mark card reader 3 reads information necessary for purchasing a voting ticket such as a place name, a race number, a formula type, and an amount written on the mark card at the time of operation, and a unit to be operated on the mark card at the time of maintenance. Read command, execution count, execution count unit, etc.

  The receipt printer 4 prints the purchase contents of the purchased voting ticket at the time of operation, and prints the maintenance result and the setting contents at the time of maintenance. As a result, even if maintenance is performed from the front, the maintenance staff does not realize that the maintenance has been performed, and the maintenance result can be easily obtained.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the cashless terminal apparatus.
As for the computer 30 which comprises the cashless terminal device 20, the whole apparatus is controlled by CPU (Central Processing Unit) 31. A random access memory (RAM) 32, a hard disk drive (HDD) 33, a graphic processing device 34, an input / output interface 35, and a communication interface 36 are connected to the CPU 31 via a bus 37.

  The RAM 32 temporarily stores at least part of an OS (Operating System) program to be executed by the CPU 31 and an application program being executed. The RAM 32 stores various data necessary for processing by the CPU 31. The hard disk drive 33 stores an OS, a maintenance program necessary for maintenance operation processing, a transaction processing program related to voting ticket purchase, and various application programs.

  The graphic processor 34 is connected to the LCD 21. The graphic processing device 34 displays an image on the screen of the LCD 21 in accordance with a command from the CPU 31. The input / output interface 35 is connected to the touch panel 1, the IC card reader 2, the mark card reader 3, and the receipt printer 4. The input / output interface 35 transmits information sent from the touch panel 1, the IC card reader 2, and the mark card reader 3 to the CPU 31 via the bus 37. The input / output interface 35 also transmits information on the processing result of the CPU 31 to the receipt printer 4.

  The communication interface 36 is connected to the local communication network 17. The communication interface 36 transmits and receives information to and from the host computer 11 of the central information processing center 10 via the local communication network 17, the communication device 16, and the network 15.

  With the hardware configuration as described above, the processing functions of the present embodiment can be realized. Note that the hard disk drive 33 in which the OS, maintenance program, transaction processing program, and the like are stored can be a solid state drive using a flash memory as a storage medium.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the overall processing flow of the cashless terminal apparatus.
In a normal operation state, the IC card reader 2 is waiting for detection of an IC card (step S1). When the IC card is touched to the IC card reader 2 (IC card information is read), the maintenance card authenticating unit 5 authenticates whether or not the IC card is a maintenance card (step S2). If the IC card is authenticated as a maintenance card, a maintenance operation process is performed (step S3). When the maintenance operation process ends, the LCD 21 returns to the initial screen.

  If the IC card is not authenticated as a maintenance card in step S2, it is determined that the IC card is a membership card, and the transaction processing program of the cashless terminal device 20 authenticates the membership card to the central information processing center 10. Request (step S4). In response to the processing result from the central information processing center 10, the transaction processing program determines whether the IC card is a membership card (step S5). Here, if it is determined that the card is a membership card, the transaction processing program starts a transaction for purchasing a voting ticket (step S6), and when the transaction ends, the LCD 21 returns to the initial screen. If it is determined in step S5 that the card is not a membership card, the transaction processing program displays an error message on the LCD 21 (step S7). Thereafter, after the button operation on the touch panel 1 or a predetermined time has elapsed, the transaction processing program returns the screen of the LCD 21 to the initial screen.

  6 is a flowchart showing the flow of maintenance operation processing, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of mark card reading processing, FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a mark card, and (A) shows a mark card before mark entry. (B) shows an example of a mark card after the maintenance content is entered. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the correspondence between the display items on the purchase screen and the maintenance screen, where (A) shows the transition from the operation screen to the error screen, and (B) shows the correspondence between the display items after touching the IC card. (C) shows display item correspondence after selection of screen input, (D) shows display item correspondence after selection of display item, and (E) shows display item correspondence after further display item selection. ing.

  The maintenance operation process shown in FIG. 6 is performed when, for example, a failure occurs in the cashless terminal device 20 and the screen changes from the operation screen of the purchase guide to the error screen as shown in FIG. The operation is started when the maintenance card is touched on the IC card reader 2 and the maintenance card authentication unit 5 authenticates the maintenance card.

  First, the maintenance program of the cashless terminal device 20 shifts the cashless terminal device 20 to the maintenance / offline mode (step S11), and changes the purchase guide screen of the LCD 21 to the maintenance menu screen (step S12). At this time, as shown in FIG. 9B, the display item is not switched from the purchase guidance screen to the maintenance menu screen, but the purchase guidance screen with the maintenance menu masked. It is. In the example shown in FIG. 9B, the “voting card insertion guidance” button is a “maintenance operation by voting card” button, and the “screen input voting” button is a “maintenance operation by screen input” button. In addition, the “caller” button is assigned to the “diagnostic print” button.

  Next, the command input method selection unit 6 waits for an instruction for a maintenance command input method from the touch panel 1 (step S13). If no operation is performed after a predetermined time, the command input method selection unit 6 exits from the maintenance operation process. Then, the process returns to step S1 in FIG. When the command input method selection unit 6 detects the touch of the “maintenance operation by voting card” button, the maintenance command execution unit 8 starts the mark card reading process by the mark card reader 3 (step S14).

  In the mark card reading process, as shown in FIG. 7, when a maintenance mark card is inserted into the mark card reader 3 (step S31), authentication is performed by the maintenance mark card authentication unit 9 (step S32). Here, when the inserted maintenance mark card is authenticated as a regular maintenance card, the processing exits this mark card reading process.

  In this maintenance mark card, as shown in FIG. 8A, a plurality of rectangles filled with black are arranged at the lower end and the left and right ends of the mark card 40. This rectangle is called a timing mark 41, and the number, interval, and size of the timing mark 41 can identify whether the mark card 40 is a voting mark card or a maintenance mark card. . As shown in FIG. 8B, the mark card 40 includes, for example, a mark 42 for designating a unit to be maintained, a maintenance command mark 43, a mark 44 for specifying the number of executions, and a unit of the number of executions ( A mark 45 designating one thousand, one hundred, ten, or one) is printed. These marks 42, 43, 44, 45 are read together with timing marks 41 for specifying the type of the mark card 40 by the mark card reader 3.

  If the inserted maintenance mark card is not authenticated as a regular maintenance card in step S32, the mark card reader 3 returns the maintenance mark card (step S33). Here, the return mark card monitoring unit 9a monitors whether or not the returned maintenance mark card is extracted (step S34), and when the maintenance mark card is extracted, the process returns to step S31.

  If the returned maintenance mark card is not removed even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the return mark card monitoring unit 9a takes the returned maintenance mark card into the apparatus (step S35) and pauses the apparatus (step S36). ) An alarm is sounded (step S37). Thereafter, when the maintenance card is touched on the IC card reader 2 (step S38), the process returns to step S31.

  When the maintenance mark card is authenticated in step S32, the maintenance command execution unit 8 executes the maintenance command according to the marks 42, 43, 44, and 45 read by the mark card reader 3 (step S15). The maintenance result is “diagnostic printing” by touching the “caller” button on the purchase guide screen, printed out by the receipt printer 4 (step S16).

  Next, the mark card reader 3 returns the maintenance mark card (step S17), and monitors whether the maintenance mark card returned by the return mark card monitoring unit 9a has been removed. Here, if the returned maintenance mark card is not extracted even after a predetermined time has passed, the return mark card monitoring unit 9a cannot retrieve the returned maintenance mark card and takes it into the apparatus ( Step S18). Thereafter, the apparatus is paused (step S19), an alarm is sounded (step S20), and when the IC card reader 2 is touched (step S21), the process returns to step S12.

  When the returned maintenance mark card is extracted within a predetermined time, the maintenance command execution unit 8 determines whether there is an error (step S22). If an error still remains after executing the maintenance command, the process returns to step S12. If there is no error as a result of executing the maintenance command, the maintenance command execution unit 8 performs a hard reset (step S23) and determines whether there is an error (step S24). Here, if there is no error, the maintenance command execution unit 8 shifts the cashless terminal device 20 to the online mode (step S25). If an error remains even after the hard reset is executed and the cashless terminal device 20 is restarted, the maintenance operation process is returned to step S12.

  On the other hand, when a maintenance operation (manual command input) by screen input is selected in step S13, the maintenance command execution unit 8 converts the command input by the touch panel 1 into a maintenance command by the command conversion unit 7 and inputs it. (Step S26). For example, as shown in FIG. 9C, when the “place name 1” button is pressed, the command conversion unit 7 instructs “IC card test” that the operation unit uses the IC card reader 2. The command is input to the maintenance command execution unit 8. Further, as shown in FIG. 9D, by touching the buttons “Race number selection”, “Method selection”, “Group number selection” and “Amount input”, “test item selection 1” to “Test item selection 3” and “number of times setting” maintenance commands are input.

  The maintenance command input in this way is executed by the maintenance command execution unit 8 (step S27). At this time, the purchase screen is switched to the screen shown in FIG. Here, the execution content of the maintenance command is “execution content printing” by touching the “call staff” button on the purchase guide screen, and is printed out by the receipt printer 4 (step S28). Further, according to the screen shown in FIG. 9E, the “purchase details display” area is assigned to “continuation of maintenance”, and it is possible to select whether to continue or end the maintenance operation ( Step S29). If “maintenance maintenance” is selected, the maintenance operation process returns to step S12. If “end” is selected, the maintenance operation process proceeds to step S23. When maintenance is continued, the display screen is switched to the purchase screen shown in FIG.

  In addition, the above-mentioned embodiment can add various changes within the range which does not deviate from the gist of the embodiment (for example, the mark card is a mark card for maintenance, but the mark used for other purposes) It may be a card.)

  Further, the above-described embodiments can be modified and changed by those skilled in the art, and are not limited to the exact configurations and application examples described.
