[0033] like Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, the smart card replacement device of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a card input module 1, which is provided with a card insertion port 2 and a card reader 3, and the card reader 3 is used to read the card information of the card to be stored; a storage module 4, which is provided with one or more storage card slots 5, and the storage card slot 5 includes a transport plate 6 and multiple flexible ropes 7, and the transport plate 6 is suspended and fixed by the multiple flexible ropes 7, and the storage module 4 is used to store the card to be stored; a reading module 8 is used to obtain the card information to be replaced of the cardholder; a card issuing module 9, which is provided with a control device 10, a card output device 11 and multiple card output ports 12, and the control device 10 is used to determine the position of the target storage card corresponding to the card information to be replaced from the multiple stored cards according to the stored card information and the card information to be replaced, and control the flexible rope 7 to stretch downward or upward according to the position of the target storage card, so that the target storage card is transported to the target card output port among the multiple card output ports 12, and the card output device 11 is used to output the target storage card at the target card output port.

[0034] When a new card requested by a customer for replacement or re-issuance is delivered to each branch, the branch staff will store the card and insert the new card into the card slot 2 of the smart card replacement device. The card reader 3 behind the slot will read and register the card, recording the card number, card insertion time, card type, cardholder name, cardholder ID number, mobile phone number, and other information for storage. The new card will also be sent to the notification module 17.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the information of the new card is read, it will be assigned a card ID. For example, the first new card inserted to be stored is assigned card ID 1, and the second new card inserted to be stored is assigned card ID 2.

[0036] After the notification module 17 receives the new card arrival information, it will send a card notification to the corresponding cardholder based on the card arrival information. For example, the card arrival information of the corresponding card number will be sent to the cardholder's mobile phone via SMS, the cardholder's phone will be called through an intelligent voice phone, the cardholder will be notified of the card arrival information through an intelligent voice phone, or a message will be sent to the bank management system, and the bank staff will send the card message to the cardholder through paper or email, manual phone, etc.

[0037] Figure 3 The figure schematically shows a structural diagram of a memory card slot according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, one or more memory card slots 5 are provided in the storage module 4. The memory card slot 5 is a physical device for storing new cards. The memory card slot 5 includes a transport plate 6 and multiple flexible ropes 7. The transport plate 6 is suspended and fixed by the multiple flexible ropes 7. The new cards are stored in the order of card IDs from small to large. New cards with smaller card IDs are stored first on the transport plate 6 of the memory card slot 5, and new cards with larger card IDs are stored later on the transport plate 6. The new cards are stacked and stored in sequence on the transport plate. In some embodiments, there can be multiple transport plates 6, each of which can store a single card or multiple cards. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the memory card slot 5 is further provided with a card fixing device 18 .

[0040] Figure 4 A card fixing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the transport plate 6 is also equipped with a fixing device 18, which is used to secure the newly deposited card in the storage card slot. This prevents the stored card from shaking due to mechanical handling or other human factors, which could cause the stored card to fall or shift position. The fixing device 18 is composed of multiple fixing posts that extend through the transport plate 6 and are fixed to the base of the intelligent card replacement device. The transport plate can move up and down along the fixing posts. The gaps between the fixing posts are slightly larger than a bank card, and the cards are stacked in the gaps between the fixing posts on the transport plate 6.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the flexible cord 7 may also serve as a fixing device for the memory card slot 5, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flexible rope 7 is fixed on three edges of the transport plate 6, and no flexible rope 7 is provided on the transport plate 6 facing the card outlet 12. The transport plate 6 is suspended and fixed by the flexible ropes 7 on the three edges, and the new card stored is confined between the flexible ropes 7.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the memory card slot 5 can be arranged tilted, such as Figure 6 As shown. The slope and gravity created by the inclination further enhance the card's ability to resist shaking and interference within the memory card slot 5. In this case, the card outlet 12 also needs to be inclined, with the same inclination angle as the memory card slot 5. The length of the card outlet 12 increases from bottom to top according to the inclination angle.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the reading module includes a reading device (13) for reading the card information to be replaced of the card to be replaced; a keyboard 14 for inputting user information to obtain the card information to be replaced; and a display screen 15 for displaying the card information to be replaced, the stored card information and the input user information.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the reading module 8 can read the cardholder's old card. In some cases, for example, when the old card has been demagnetized and cannot be read using the card reader 3, or when the old card has been lost or damaged, the cardholder's information can be input through the keyboard 14 after user authorization. The cardholder information that can be input through the keyboard 14 includes: the cardholder's ID number, mobile phone number, the last digit of the old card, etc. In some embodiments, the display is also used to display prompt information, and provide the next operation prompt or information confirmation prompt based on the user's needs and operations. In some embodiments, the reading module 8 can also include a facial recognition device. With the user's authorization, the cardholder's facial model can be directly scanned to obtain the cardholder's information stored in the bank database.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the smart card replacement device further includes: an information processing module 16 for storing new card information and a card identifier corresponding to the inserted new card, and for matching old card information with new card information.

[0047] The information processing module 16 is connected to the bank management system via wired or wireless communication and is used to store the card information and card identification of the cards to be stored. In some embodiments, the card information and card identification are stored in a local storage medium of the smart card replacement device and synchronized with the bank management system via a network communication connection. In some embodiments, the card information and card identification are directly stored in a database in the bank system via network communication. This disclosure is not limited to this.

[0048] The information processing module 16 is further configured to match the information of the card to be replaced with the stored card information, confirm whether the stored card contains the new card corresponding to the card to be replaced, and if so, issue the new card. If not, the cardholder and bank personnel are notified for manual intervention. In some embodiments, the information processing module 16 is further configured to delete the identification of the issued card and send a card removal message to the server.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple card outlets 12 are evenly distributed on one side of the storage module 4 in the card output direction. Compared to the traditional single-card outlet mode, the present disclosure adopts a multi-card outlet mode, with multiple card outlets 12 evenly distributed on one side of the storage module 4 in the card output direction, so that stored cards can be ejected through the card outlet closest to the card. The number of card outlets 12 columns corresponds to the number of storage card slots 5. When there are multiple storage card slots 5, each storage card slot 5 should be provided with a vertically evenly distributed card outlet 12 on the device housing on the card output side.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the card issuing module 9 further includes a card output device 11 .

[0051] Figures 7-8 A diagram schematically shows a card dispensing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0052] The card dispensing device 11 may be Figure 7 The card pushing assembly and card ejecting assembly shown are multiple U-shaped thin sheets 19 with a thickness close to but less than that of a bank card. The positions of the multiple thin sheets correspond to the multiple card outlets 12. When the target storage card in the card outlet needs to be ejected, the U-shaped thin sheet pushes the target storage card out. In some embodiments, as Figure 8 As shown, the card ejection device 11 can also be a single sheet device 19 with a slide rail. The card ejection device 11 is in communication with the control device 10. After the control device 10 determines the target card ejection port, the single sheet 19 is moved to the target card ejection port via the slide rail and then ejects the card. In some embodiments, the card ejection device 11 can also be a clamping arm device disposed at the card ejection port 12. It is understood that those skilled in the art can select an appropriate card ejection device or any combination of multiple card ejection devices based on actual circumstances, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0053] According to the disclosed embodiment, the card entry module 1, storage module 4, reader module 8, card issuance module 9, information processing module 16, and notification module 17 are communicatively connected and are also communicatively connected to the bank's management platform and database. The communication connection can include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables. The card entry module 1, storage module 4, reader module 8, card issuance module 9, information processing module 16, and notification module 17 all require user authorization to obtain user information. When reading, storing, or deleting relevant card information, the operation content and corresponding data before and after the operation must be uploaded to the bank server to preserve historical data and prevent errors or omissions due to misoperation or other reasons. At least part of the functions of one or more of these modules can be combined with at least part of the functions of other modules and implemented in a single module. At least one of the card entry module 1, storage module 4, reader module 8, card issuance module 9, information processing module 16, and notification module 17 can be at least partially implemented as a hardware circuit, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a programmable logic array (PLA), a system on a chip, a system on a substrate, a system on a package, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or can be implemented in hardware or firmware through any other reasonable means of circuit integration or packaging, or implemented in any one of the three implementation methods of software, hardware, and firmware, or in an appropriate combination of any of them. Alternatively, at least one of the card entry module 1, storage module 4, reader module 8, card issuance module 9, information processing module 16, and notification module 17 can be at least partially implemented as a computer program module, which can perform the corresponding functions when executed.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the present disclosure also provides a smart card replacement method.

[0055] Figure 9 The following schematically shows a flow chart of a smart card replacement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;

[0056] like Figure 9 As shown, the smart card replacement method includes steps S910 to S960.

[0057] In operation S910, the card information of the card to be stored is obtained. In this embodiment, when a new card requested by a customer for replacement or re-issuance is delivered to each branch, branch staff will process the card for storage. The new card will be inserted into the card insertion port 2 of the card insertion module 1 at the branch, and the card information of the card will be read by the card reader 3 within the card insertion port 2. In one embodiment, this step can be performed by the card insertion module 1.

[0058] In operation S920, the cards to be stored are stored according to the card storage information. After the card reader 3 reads the newly inserted cards, it assigns a card ID to each new card according to the insertion order. The newly inserted cards are then stacked from bottom to top in the storage card slot 5 in ascending card ID order. In one embodiment, this step can be performed by the aforementioned storage module 4.

[0059] In operation S930, the card information to be replaced is obtained. The cardholder can select a method for obtaining the card information to be replaced. The old card to be replaced can be directly read by the reader 13 to obtain the cardholder's old card information. Alternatively, after obtaining the cardholder's authorization, the card information to be replaced can be obtained by the cardholder entering the cardholder's ID number, mobile phone number, the last digit of the old card to be replaced, and other information on the keyboard 14. In one embodiment, this step can be performed by the reader module 8.

[0060] Before operation S930, an information matching operation may be performed. Information processing module 16 first matches the acquired card information to be replaced with the stored card information. If the stored card information corresponds to the card information to be replaced, the match is successful, and the next card issuance operation proceeds. If the stored card information corresponds to the card information to be replaced, the cardholder and bank personnel are notified via display screen 15 or other notification device for processing. In one embodiment, this step may be performed by information processing module 16 and notification module 17.

[0061] In operation S940, based on the stored card information and the information of the card to be replaced, the position of the target storage card corresponding to the card information to be replaced is determined from the stored multiple cards. Since the cards are stored in the storage card slot 5 in the order of the card identification, the specific position of the card in the storage card slot 5 can be determined based on the card identification and card information of the stored card.

[0062] In operation S950, the flexible cord 7 is controlled to stretch downward or upward based on the position of the target memory card, thereby transporting the target memory card to a target card outlet among the multiple card outlets 12. Multiple card outlets 12 are evenly distributed on one side of the memory card slot 5 in the card outlet direction. This, on the one hand, reduces the distance the memory card must travel to reach the card outlet. Furthermore, the provision of multiple card outlets 12 prevents the situation where, when a large number of memory cards form a long stack within the memory card slot 5, cards at the bottom or top of the stack are prevented from reaching the card outlet due to the height of the stack.

[0063] In operation S960, the target storage card is ejected from the target card outlet. The target storage card at the target card outlet is ejected by the card ejection device 11. In one embodiment, steps 940 to 960 may be performed by the card issuing module 9.

[0064] In one embodiment, a card removal method is provided, including steps S1010 to S1090.

[0065] Figure 10 The flowchart of the card removal method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0066] In operation S1010, a card arrival notification is obtained; the card arrival notification is issued by the notification module 17 in the above-mentioned smart card replacement device. After the cardholder receives the card arrival notification, he or she can go to the branch or the location where the smart card replacement device is set up to retrieve the card.

[0067] In operation S1020, the smart card replacement device is activated and a card removal procedure is entered;

[0068] In operation S1030, an authentication operation is triggered;

[0069] In operation S1040, after authentication is passed, a card query element is generated;

[0070] In operation S1050, according to the card query element, it is confirmed whether the smart card replacement device has the card stored therein;

[0071] In operation S1060, in response to a confirmation operation on the card data displayed on the screen, the card dispensing module starts dispensing the card;

[0072] In operation S1070, after the card is issued successfully, a card issuance success message is sent to the server;

[0073] In operation S1080, according to the card-out success information, the card removal status is recorded in the information table;

[0074] In operation S1090, the card identification of the removed card is deleted.

[0075] From the above description, it can be seen that the embodiments of the present disclosure have the following beneficial effects: Each card in a traditional storage device has its own independent card slot, which occupies a large amount of space. This invention uses a flexible rope and transport plate structure to replace the traditional card storage method. Cards are stacked sequentially on the transport plate, saving space and increasing the card storage capacity. Furthermore, the card slot is usually transported using methods such as slide rails and mechanical clamps, which have complex mechanical structures. The structure of the present invention is simple and easy to produce. Secondly, compared to traditional devices that only have a single card outlet, the present invention has multiple outlets, evenly distributed on one side of the card outlet direction of the storage card slot. This allows bank cards that need to be withdrawn to be withdrawn from the nearest outlet, saving travel distance and increasing card withdrawal speed. Thirdly, it has an information notification function. After the bank card to be replaced arrives at the branch and is stored in the smart card replacement device, the cardholder is notified. This prevents the cardholder from being unable to accurately obtain the card's arrival time and having to repeatedly inquire with branch staff.
