the calling cards carry a number.
the calling cards are stacked so that the continuity of the calling card numbers in the container is guaranteed by the manufacturer.
the container device has a specific number. The manufacturer can thus record and record on the container device the data relating to the batch of cards stacked in the container device.
the container device is closed and sealed at the manufacturer according to the assembly device as described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. This assembly guarantees the integrity of the content of the container device.
the lid forming a witness 85 guarantees the non-opening of the container device.
the containers are sent directly to the distribution centers formed by the dispensing devices described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
the operator whose function is to set up the container device in the dispensing device, checks that the assembly as well as the means forming a witness are still intact and in place. This verification allows the operator to determine whether the container device has been opened during transport from the manufacturer to the operator.
the operator When the assembly and the means forming a witness verify a predetermined condition, that is to say not deteriorated, of the tongues or of the cover, the operator knows that the container device contains a set of integral and complete calling cards of the type of that displayed by the figurine placed on the container and the amount of which is identical to that marked on the label of the container device.
the operating operator then introduces a service card into the memory card reader 14 and then enters his service code on the keyboard.
the central control unit 12 finally checks that the service code thus entered authorizes the owner of the service card to open the cabinet door with a mechanical key.
the operating operator is authorized to replace the empty container device (s) with full container devices.
these are optoelectronic type means or the counting of the calling cards distributed by the control unit which detect the absence of calling card in one of the distributing devices. In response to this detection, the central control unit notifies the operating center via the telephone link that an empty device needs to be replaced.
an exchange protocol between the operator and the central control unit to provide an additional degree of security against theft of calling cards in the dispensing device described above.
the operating operator selects the distribution unit that he has just filled so that the first calling card of the container device that he has just replaced is distributed to him. This selection is validated by electronic payment, for example by bank card.
the operator uses this first card in the memory card reader of the device to transfer to the central control unit the identification data for the batch of cards stored in the container device thus replaced.
the identification data of said batch include the serial number of the calling cards, the number of calling cards as well as the type 40, 80 or 120 units.
the operating operator collects the calling card and returns it to the operator's accounting center.
this first calling card can be coded according to the service code of the operator operating for control purposes.
the data for identifying the batch of calling cards will be taken into account by the central control unit as well as by a host computer via the telephone link.
the security protocol which consists of removing the first calling card from the container by the operating operator and having this card read by the control unit also allows verification. the correct positioning of the container device in the dispensing device and the verification of the proper functioning of the dispensing device.
the dispensing device also knows that such a dispensing unit houses a card container device of such type and that said container device has been put in place by such an operator.
