Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated transaction device and a waste management system. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, when requesting the disposal of equipment such as ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) by a third party, in order to prevent damage such as false declarations leading to the resale of equipment or parts that were not disposed of as used goods, the requester was required to provide the serial number of the equipment and photographs of the equipment after destruction as proof that the requested equipment had been destroyed and disposed of without fail.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system in which waste is photographed at each processing step from waste collection to final disposal by an imaging means, the obtained image data is transferred to a data management section by an image transfer means, and the waste processing status can be confirmed by accessing the data management section using the image data. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3361802 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, with the above-mentioned method, it was possible to reuse photos of destruction of another device, and instead of actually destroying and disposing of the requested device, sell the device or parts as secondhand goods and make a profit, etc. This would result in problems such as a loss of credibility for the company (equipment manufacturer, etc.) as low-quality secondhand goods were released onto the market and mistakenly identified as genuine products.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for an automated transaction device and a waste management system that can reliably carry out the disposal of the automated transaction device requested from a third party. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The first invention is an automated teller machine that uses individual identification information attached to a plurality of components as a disposal certificate, and is characterized in that the individual identification information is attached to each of the components in a position that cannot be seen unless the automated teller machine is destroyed or a non-reinstallable component is removed.

[0008] A second aspect of the present invention is a waste management system having an automated transaction device, a communication terminal, a waste management database, and an information terminal, wherein (1) the automated transaction device is the automated transaction device of the first aspect of the present invention, (2) the communication terminal has an acquisition means for acquiring the individual identification information and a processing means for registering the individual identification information acquired by the acquisition means in the waste management database, (3) the waste management database manages the disposal status of the automated transaction device and each of the components by storing the individual identification information of each of the components of the automated transaction device, and (4) the information terminal has an inquiry means for accessing the waste management database to confirm the disposal status of the automated transaction device and each of the components. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, disposal of an automated transaction device requested from a third party can be reliably carried out. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] (A) First embodiment Hereinafter, a first embodiment of an automated transaction device and a waste management system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, an example in which the automated transaction device of the present invention is applied to an ATM will be described.

[0012] (A-1) Configuration of the First Embodiment (A-1-1) Overall composition Fig. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing the overall configuration of a waste management system according to the first embodiment. In Fig. 1, the waste management system 1000 has an ATM 1 to be disposed of, a communication terminal 100 used by a waste disposal company W, a waste management database 200 that manages the state of the waste, and an information terminal 300 used by a client O who requests the disposal of the ATM 1. Each device is connected via a network N.

[0013] The network N is a communication network capable of communicating data related to the ATM 1 to be discarded, and is, for example, a broadband communication network such as the Internet.

[0014] The ATM1 is an automated teller machine (ATM) to be disposed of. The ATM1 and each structural part constituting the ATM1 are provided (attached, printed, etc.) with an individual identification number that identifies each individual part. Note that, in this embodiment, the ATM1 is taken as an example of waste, but other devices (such as POS registers, semi-self-service machines, ticket vending machines, etc.) may be used as long as they are made up of multiple parts.

[0015] The communication terminal 100 includes an acquisition means (such as an image capture means or an interface into which the individual identification number can be input) for acquiring the individual identification number of each component part of the ATM 1 to be disposed of, and a communication means for accessing the network N and transmitting the individual identification number and other information acquired by the disposal company W when disposing of the ATM 1 to the information terminal 300. The communication terminal 100 is, for example, a portable terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet.

[0016] The waste management database 200 is a database that uses a waste management table T to manage the disposal status of the ATM 1 to be disposed of and its component parts.

[0017] The information terminal 300 includes a communication means for receiving information (individual identification numbers) from the communication terminal 100 proving that the ATM 1 and its components have been discarded, a means for registering information (individual identification numbers) relating to the discarded ATM 1 and its components in the waste management database 200, and a means for accessing the waste management database 200 and verifying the disposal status of the ATM 1 and its components.

[0018] (A-1-2) ATM1 Configuration FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the ATM according to the first embodiment.

[0019] In FIG. 2, the ATM 1 is mainly composed of a box-shaped housing, and is operated by a user (hereinafter also referred to as a "customer") to carry out cash-related transactions such as deposit transactions and withdrawal transactions.

[0020] The housing of the ATM 1 contains a main control unit 9 that performs overall control of the ATM 1, a banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 that performs various processes relating to banknotes, and the like.

[0021] A customer service section 3 is provided at the front of the housing of the ATM 1, where customer operations are accepted. The customer service section 3 is provided with a card slot 4, a bill slot 5 (part of the customer service section 312), an operation display section 6, a numeric keypad 7, and a receipt issuing port 8. The customer service section 3 directly exchanges cash, cards, etc. with customers, outputs information related to transactions, and accepts customer operations.

[0022] The card slot 4 is a portion where various cards such as cash cards and credit cards are inserted or ejected. At the back side of the card slot 4, a card reader unit (not shown) is provided that reads information stored on various cards.

[0023] The banknote deposit / withdrawal slot 5 is a portion through which customers insert (put) banknotes for deposit and through which banknotes for withdrawal are discharged to customers. The banknote deposit / withdrawal slot 5 is opened or closed by driving a shutter.

[0024] The operation and display unit 6 is an integrated unit consisting of a display unit that displays an operation screen for a transaction, and a touch panel for selecting the type of transaction, inputting a PIN number, a transaction amount, and the like.

[0025] The numeric keypad 7 is a set of physical keys including the number buttons "0" to "9" and a confirmation button, and is used when inputting a PIN number, a transaction amount, and the like.

[0026] The receipt issuing port 8 is a section that issues a receipt on which the transaction details, etc. are printed when the transaction process is completed. At the back of the receipt issuing port 8, there is a receipt processing section (not shown) that prints the transaction details, etc. on the receipt.

[0027] (A-1-3) Configuration of banknote deposit / withdrawal machine FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the internal configuration of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine according to the first embodiment.

[0028] In FIG. 3, the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10 is roughly divided into an upper unit 10U occupying the upper portion above approximately the center in the up-down direction, and a lower unit 10L occupying the lower portion thereof.

[0029] The upper unit 10U is provided with a banknote control unit 12 which controls the overall processing of the banknote deposit and withdrawal machine 10, a memory unit 14, a customer service unit 312 which processes inserted (deposited) banknotes and banknotes to be discharged, a transport unit 21 which transports banknotes to each unit, a discrimination unit (hereinafter also referred to as a "recognition unit") 22 which discriminates banknotes, and a temporary holding unit 23 which temporarily stores banknotes.

[0030] The banknote control unit 12 is a calculation device mainly composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) not shown. The memory unit 14 is a medium for storing the results of validation by the validation unit 22, the counting results of the number of banknotes related to the inspection, etc.

[0031] The customer service section 312 is located at the upper front part of the upper unit 10U. The customer service section 312 has a storage space SC therein for storing banknotes received from customers and banknotes to be handed over to customers, and the upper part of the storage space SC can be opened and closed by a shutter. The customer service section 312 separates the banknotes in the storage space SC one by one and delivers them to the transport section 21, and also stacks the banknotes received from the transport section 21.

[0032] The transport section 21 is located at the lower end of the upper unit 10U, and is generally thin in the vertical direction and elongated in the front-rear direction. In the transport section 21, transport guides for guiding the banknotes and a number of rotating rollers are appropriately arranged, and a linear transport path is formed to transport the banknotes mainly in the front-rear direction with the short sides of the banknotes aligned with the traveling direction.

[0033] The validator 22 is incorporated within the transport unit 21, and is located on the banknote transport path between the customer service unit 312 and the temporary holding unit 23. The validator 22 has multiple types of sensors incorporated therein, such as a thickness sensor, an image sensor, and a magnetic sensor, and recognizes the denomination, authenticity, and fitness (damaged or not) of the transported banknotes, and notifies the banknote control unit 12 of the recognition results.

[0034] The escrow unit 23 temporarily holds the banknotes transported from the customer service unit 312. For example, during the reconciliation process, when a banknote from the customer service unit 312 passes through the validation unit 22 and is determined by the validation unit 22 to be rejected as a banknote that should not be reused, the banknote is transported to the escrow unit 23 and temporarily held. The banknotes held in the escrow unit 23 are then transported to the rejected banknote vault 27.

[0035] The lower unit 10L has all its peripheral sides covered by a sturdy safe housing 24. Inside this safe housing 24, four banknote storage containers 25a to 25d, a deposit container 26, and a reject container 27 are provided from the rear to the front.

[0036] The banknote storage vaults 25a-25d, deposit vault 26, and reject vault 27 loaded in the safe housing 24 of the lower unit 10L can be removed from the safe housing 24 by being pulled out upward. Note that the functions and applications of each storage vault (cassette) loaded in the safe housing 24, the order in which each storage vault is arranged in the safe housing 24, the number of banknote storage vaults, the presence or absence of a deposit vault, etc. are not limited to the example in FIG.

[0037] Each of the banknote storage vaults 25a to 25d has a space therein for accumulating and storing banknotes. Each of the banknote storage vaults 25a to 25d takes in and stores banknotes transported from the transport unit 21 by a storage and discharge mechanism, and discharges the stored banknotes to supply them to the transport unit 21. There are no limitations on the denomination of banknotes stored in each of the banknote storage vaults 25a to 25d.

[0038] The deposit box 26 is a storage box for storing bills deposited from the customer service unit 312.

[0039] The rejected banknote vault 27 is a storage vault that stores banknotes that have been determined by the validator 22 and the banknote controller 12 to be abnormal (rejected banknotes).

[0040] (A-1-4) Location of individual identification numbers attached or printed on each component The individual identification numbers are assigned (attached or printed) in locations that cannot be seen without destroying each component of ATM1, or on the inside of components (sensors, drive components, inside molded products, etc.) whose performance deteriorates and their original functions cannot be performed once they are removed, and whose internal information is automatically erased. The locations where the individual identification numbers are assigned are assumed to be locations where waste disposal company W has no choice but to destroy some components in order to refer to the individual identification numbers when disposing of ATM1.

[0041] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the customer service section according to the first embodiment. In the customer service section 312 shown in Fig. 4, a pool guide 34, a first bill press 35, a stage 36, and a second bill press 37 are provided in the storage space SC from the front, and are movable in the front-rear direction. In addition, the customer service section 312 is provided with an intake section 39 that separates and takes in bills one by one at the lower front of the storage space SC, and a discharge section 40 that discharges bills one by one into the storage space SC at the lower rear of the storage space SC. Furthermore, a shutter 32 that opens and closes the storage space SC by moving in the front-rear direction is provided above the customer service section 312.

[0042] For example, it is not appropriate to assign an individual identification number inside the storage space SC of the customer service section 312 shown in Fig. 4. That is, even if an individual identification number is assigned inside the storage space SC, the individual identification number is visible at a glance, and waste disposal company W does not need to destroy the customer service section 312. As an example, the individual identification number is assigned near the joint between the storage space SC and intake section 39, where it would be necessary to destroy intake section 39 if one were to check the individual identification number in its entirety.

[0043] In addition, in the case of the numeric keypad 7 which is a PIN pad, the key will be erased when it is removed from the ATM 1, so an individual identification number will be assigned to a location that must be removed to check (not on the surface of the numeric keypad 7, but on the back side which is built into the inside of the ATM 1).

[0044] (A-1-5) Detailed configuration of waste management database 200 (waste management table T) The waste management database 200 includes a waste management table T. Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the waste management table T according to the first embodiment.

[0045] The waste management table T includes the following items: "Device Serial Number," which indicates the unique identification number of the device to be disposed of (ATM 1 in this embodiment); "Component 1" through "Component n," which indicate the individual identification numbers of each component; and "Disposal Status," which indicates the status of the device to be disposed of.

[0046] The components of the ATM 1 correspond to components with unique identification numbers, such as the customer service section 312 and the numeric keypad 7. For example, if the component 1 is the customer service section 312, it can be confirmed whether the "component 1" has been discarded (destroyed, etc.) depending on whether the individual identification number assigned to the customer service section 312 has been entered in the "component 1" field. The requester O appropriately determines which components of the ATM 1 are to be designated as the components to be discarded. In other words, there is no particular limit to the level (unit) at which each component of the ATM 1 is identified and managed. The more the components to be discarded are subdivided, the more the waste disposal company W must take down a large number of individual identification numbers of each component as proof that each component has been discarded, and notify the requester O after the disposal, which requires more paperwork. On the other hand, the process of obtaining the individual identification numbers destroys each component to the extent that it cannot perform its function, which provides an excellent guarantee of disposal. The requester O may also manage only important components and basic components as components to be discarded.

[0047] The above-mentioned "disposal status" indicates the final disposal status of the ATM 1. If individual identification numbers have been entered for all of "component 1" through "component n" for each device, the disposal status of the ATM 1 will be "disposal completed," whereas if any of "component 1" through "component n" has an individual identification number that has not been entered, the disposal status will be "incomplete." As a variant, if disposal of the ATM 1 is incomplete, the field may be left blank to indicate an incomplete disposal status.

[0048] (A-2) Operation of the First Embodiment 6 is a sequence diagram showing the disposal procedure in the waste management system according to the first embodiment. In the following, it is assumed that there is an agreement between the client O and the waste disposal company W that when the ATM 1 is disposed of, the waste disposal company W will acquire the individual identification number assigned to each component part inside the ATM 1, and after the disposal is completed, notify the client O of the individual identification number together with the disposal result.

[0049] A requester O delivers an ATM 1 to a waste disposal company W and requests the disposal of the ATM 1 (S101).

[0050] The waste disposal company W makes the individual identification number of each component visible by destroying or removing irreparable parts from the ATM 1 to be disposed of. The waste disposal company W obtains the individual identification numbers by photographing the individual identification numbers of each component using the communication terminal 100, or by inputting the individual identification numbers using an input interface of the communication terminal 100 (S102).

[0051] The waste disposal company W uses the communication terminal 100 to transmit the disposal result including the individual identification numbers of each component part acquired in the above-mentioned step S102 to the information terminal 300 of the requester O by e-mail or the like (S103).

[0052] When the information terminal 300 receives the individual identification numbers of the components of the ATM 1 for which disposal has been requested from the communication terminal 100, it registers information on the individual identification numbers in the waste management database 200 (S104). The means for registering data in the waste management database 200 is not particularly limited, and for example, the individual identification numbers may be registered in the waste management database 200 by inputting the received individual identification numbers via a prescribed identification number input screen. When all of the individual identification numbers of the components have been registered, the waste management database 200 registers the disposal status of the ATM 1 as disposal completed.

[0053] The information terminal 300 accesses the waste management database 200 and refers to the information of the ATM 1 for which disposal has been requested, to confirm whether disposal of the requested ATM 1 has been completed (S105). Disposal is completed when all individual identification numbers of the components of the ATM 1 for which disposal has been requested have been notified, and the information is registered in the waste management database 200 (for example, the serial number SN123456 in FIG. 4). If any individual identification numbers of components have not been notified, the requester O will inquire of the waste disposal business operator W, since there is a possibility that the components may be reused. For example, the requester O requests the waste disposal business operator W to take measures such as requesting again the identification numbers of the unnotified components.

[0054] (A-3) Effects of the First Embodiment According to the first embodiment, the following effects are achieved.

[0055] The requester O of the equipment disposal can determine that the requested equipment (including its components) has actually been disposed of (or is no longer reusable) by comparing the identification number identifying the components of the ATM 1 received from the disposal company W with the data in the waste management database 200.

[0056] (B) Second embodiment A second embodiment of the automated transaction device and waste management system according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In the second embodiment, an example in which the automated transaction device of the present invention is applied to an ATM will be described.

[0057] (B-1) Configuration of the second embodiment (B-1-1) Overall composition Fig. 7 is an overall configuration diagram showing the overall configuration of a waste management system according to a second embodiment. In Fig. 7, a waste management system 1000A has an ATM 1A to be disposed of, a communication terminal 100A used by a waste disposal company W, the waste management database 200 described above, and an information terminal 300A used by a client O who requests the disposal of the ATM 1A. Each device is connected via a network N. The second embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment.

[0058] While each component of the ATM 1 in the first embodiment is provided with information indicating the individual identification number itself, the ATM 1A in the second embodiment displays code information, which is information obtained by encoding the individual identification number, instead. In addition, this embodiment shows an example in which a QR code (registered trademark) is used as the code information, but the code information is not limited to this, and various codes (one-dimensional barcode, two-dimensional code, etc.) can be applied.

[0059] The communication terminal 100A can be connected to the waste management database 200 via the network N, and performs control to automatically register in the waste management table T code information (individual identification number) read from each component of the ATM 1A to be discarded.

[0060] The information terminal 300A is similar to the information terminal 300 described above, except that the function of registering an individual identification number in the waste management database 200, which is included in the information terminal 300 of the first embodiment, is omitted.

[0061] (B-1-2) Detailed configuration of communication terminal 100A 8 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of a communication terminal according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 8, a communication terminal 100A includes a control unit 101, a storage unit 102, a communication unit 103, a reading unit 104, and an operation display unit 105.

[0062] The control unit 101 is mainly composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) not shown, and reads and executes predetermined programs from a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a storage unit 102, thereby controlling each unit and performing various processes related to disposal information.

[0063] The control unit 101 includes a disposal information processing unit 110 .

[0064] The discard information processing unit 110 performs a process of registering the code information of each component part of the ATM 1A read by the reading unit 104 described later in the waste management database 200 (waste management table T) every time it reads the code information. The method of registering the code information in the waste management table T may be, for example, by using an existing SQL statement. As a modified example, a plurality of read code information may be registered in the waste management table T at once at a predetermined timing.

[0065] In the first embodiment, the individual identification number is communicated to the requester O, but in the second embodiment, the waste disposal business operator W can directly register the disposal information (individual identification number) in the waste management database 200 without contacting the requester O. The requester O may notify the waste disposal business operator W only of the disposal result (that the disposal has been completed) by email or the like.

[0066] The storage unit 102 stores the processing programs executed by the control unit 101, and is configured by, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD).

[0067] The communication unit 103 is a network interface for connecting via the network N to the waste management database 200 and the information terminal 300A.

[0068] The reader 104 reads the QR code attached to each component of the ATM 1 A. The code information read by the reader 104 is provided to the control unit 101.

[0069] The operation display unit 105 is a functional unit for displaying a QR code and the like, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display.

[0070] (B-2) Operation of the Second Embodiment Next, the operation of the waste management system 1000A of the second embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration will be described.

[0071] Fig. 9 is a sequence diagram showing the disposal procedure in the waste management system according to the second embodiment. Among the processes in Fig. 9, the processes with the same reference numerals as those in the sequence diagram in Fig. 6 are basically the same or similar processes, so detailed explanations will be omitted. First, the explanation will be given assuming that a requester O has made a disposal request for ATM 1A.

[0072] The waste disposal company W makes the QR code of each component visible by destroying or removing irreparable parts of the ATM 1A to be disposed of. The waste disposal company W reads the QR code using the reading unit 104 of the communication terminal 100A (S201).

[0073] The disposal information processing unit 110 of the communication terminal 100A performs control to register the code information (individual identification number) read by the reading unit 104 in the waste management database 200 (S202).

[0074] The above-mentioned steps S201 and S202 are completed when all the QR codes attached to each component part of the ATM 1A are read by the waste disposal company W. That is, when all the individual identification numbers of each component part of the ATM 1A are registered in the waste management database 200, the disposal status of the ATM 1A becomes "disposal complete". After this, the requester O checks the disposal status in the same manner as in the above-mentioned step S105.

[0075] (B-3) Effects of the Second Embodiment According to the second embodiment, in addition to the effects described in the first embodiment, the following effects are achieved.

[0076] In the first embodiment, the waste disposal business operator W had to notify the requester O of the information each time. For example, in the case of a large number of units being disposed of, there is a risk of information being omitted or omitted, but in the second embodiment, the disposal information is automatically registered, so there is no need to consider such a risk.

[0077] (C) Other embodiments The present invention is not limited to the second embodiment described above, and modified embodiments such as those exemplified below can also be mentioned.

[0078] (C-1) As a modification, the ATM1 and ATM1A may use a combination of all or part of the configurations and / or functions of the modifications described in the above embodiments. Also, the ATM1 and ATM1A may omit at least part of the configurations and / or functions of the modifications described in the above embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
