Safety monitoring device for card reader of ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) and monitoring method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a safety monitoring device for a card reader of an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) and a monitoring method thereof. The safety monitoring device is mounted on an ATM card reader holder and comprises a main circuit board, wherein a micro-controller, a safety monitoring unit, a communication interface and a power supply unit are mounted on the main circuit board; the safety monitoring unit and the communication interface are respectively connected with the micro-controller; the communication interface is further connected with an industrial computer of the ATM; the safety monitoring unit comprises a destruction monitoring unit and / or a removal monitoring unit. The monitoring method comprises the following steps: when the card reader is removed or damaged, the safety monitoring unit detects the abnormal events, the micro-controller records the abnormal events or enables internal parts to be self-destructed, and the industrial computer immediately stops service of the ATM when inquiring the changes. By adopting the safety monitoring device and the monitoring method, the working safety of the ATM is improved, the attack difficulty is increased and the property loss risk of cardholders is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of safety protection of bank automatic teller machines (ATM machines), in particular to a safety monitoring device and a monitoring method for a card reader of an automatic teller machine. Background technique [0002] In banking and other financial industries, bank automatic teller machines (ATMs) have been widely used. Its convenient, efficient and safe self-service not only reduces the service pressure of bank counters, but also is popular among users. [0003] At this stage, ATM is already a high-tech product integrating computer technology, network technology, electromechanical technology, and automatic control technology, and is the key equipment for banks to realize self-service. Most bank counter services such as withdrawals, deposits, inquiries, password changes and transfers can already be realized through ATM machines. [0004] However, since the ATM machine is self-service, it is generally in an unattende...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The present invention mainly solves the problem that the original bank automatic teller machine cannot detect that the card reader on it is illegally removed, replaced or destroyed, which leads to the cardholder's magnetic card information being obtained by criminals, thus causing money in people's accounts solve the technical problem of money being stolen by criminals; provide a safety monitoring device for an automatic teller machine card reader and a monitoring method thereof, which can detect when the card reader on a bank automatic teller machine is illegally removed, replaced or destroyed When these illegal incidents occur, and notify the ATM system, the ATM system will stop various services and remind cardholders not to use the ATM system, thereby improving the anti-attack performance of the ATM system card reader and improving the security of the card reader , to ensure that the money in the cardholder's account is not easy to be stolen
