2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, systems for purchasing goods and services using telephone cards, orange cards (trademarks), cards for vending machines in gas stations, rental businesses, restaurants and the like have become widespread. These cards are purchased by the user in advance by paying a fee, and are called prepaid cards.

FIG. 15 shows a configuration diagram of a card system management device in a conventional prepaid card system. Here, a prepaid card system for pay television will be described as an example. The CPU 6 operates according to a program described in the RAM 8. Prepaid card 2
Is inserted into the card reading / writing device 4, the CPU 6 reads the remaining number stored in the prepaid card 2 (reads it into an internal register or RAM). Next, it is determined whether or not the television is operating according to the output from the device operation detector 10. If the TV is working, CP
U6 subtracts a predetermined frequency from the read residual frequency in accordance with the output of the timer 12. At the same time, the current remaining number is displayed on the display unit 14. When the user stops using the television and stops operating, the CPU 6 writes the current remaining number from the card reading / writing means 4 to the prepaid card 2. After that, the prepaid card 2 is ejected in order to return the card 2 to the user. If the current remaining number becomes 0 during use of the television, the CPU 6 turns off the television and forcibly stops the operation of the television. As described above, with the prepaid card system, pay television can be viewed without preparing cash every time the user uses the card.

However, the conventional prepaid card system management device as described above has the following problems. That is, a dedicated card system management device is required for each device to be used. Therefore, many card system management devices are required, which not only makes the system expensive but also occupies a large installation space.
Also, a dedicated prepaid card must be prepared for each device, and the number of cards increases for the user, making it difficult to manage and store the card.

The inventor of the present invention has provided a prepaid card system device of a prepaid type which can manage a plurality of devices by one device as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-60789 to solve the above-mentioned problems. Although we were able to solve the problem to some extent, we have not yet solved the following. a For example, if the card user is a person who stays in a building for a short period of time, such as a hospital inpatient,
The inconvenience of having to carry many cards related to treatment activities, ID cards for identifying patients themselves, and other cards. b. Inconvenient inability to record money on the card by inserting cash with the card inserted. c. Settlement by a register (terminal) installed at the stand. d Liquidation upon admission / discharge. e Personal identification of patients when they are examined or examined. f The doctor in charge or a laboratory technician searches the patient's number using the card reader of the terminal, obtains chart data and test data , inputs a prohibition clause, and updates these data. (In the past, ID cards were separately provided to patients to perform these tasks.) G. Losing the need to separately provide staff ID cards for staff attendance / exit, location management, room entry management, etc. . h Losing to separately provide a qualification card for checking the qualifications of operating the terminal and ranking the qualifications for accessing the database.

[0016] On the other hand, from the vending machine 35a is sold number compatible device, via a control line 43, sales request signal is applied to an interrupt input port 1 ₄ CPU 52. Further, from the output port 0 ₄ CPU 52, the control line 4
A sales permission signal is given to the vending machine 35a via the terminal 5. The power supply to the vending machine 35a is not controlled by the management device 1, but is performed independently.

A RAM 64 and a timer 6 are connected to a CPU 52 via a bus line (control bus and data bus) 62.
6. The display circuit 68, the read / write circuit 72, and the card transport section 74 are connected. The RAM 64 stores programs for postpayment amount addition, information transmission, deposit / payment, and the like. The RAM 64 is backed up, and retains its contents even when the power is turned off. FIG. 3 shows a front operation portion of the card system management device 1. The display unit 69 is configured by an LCD or the like, and displays operation guidance, the current postpaid amount, the deposit amount, and the balance according to instructions from the display circuit 68. A card transport section 74 is provided deep in the card insertion slot 73, and accepts and discharges cards. By pressing the card removal button 75, the card is forcibly ejected.

(Operation Program Corresponding to Usage Time) FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts of the postpayment amount addition program stored in the RAM 64. FIG. 4 is for managing the television 34a, the video 34b, and the range 34c (device for use time), and FIG. 5 is for managing the vending machine (device for sale quantity) 35a. Normally, the program in FIG. 4 operates, but the program in FIG. 5 operates by an interrupt operation.

First, the program of the device corresponding to the use time shown in FIG. 4 will be described. When the IC card 80 is inserted from the card insertion slot 73, the card transport section 74 operates to take the IC card 80 inside. At the same time, C
A read command is issued from the PU 52 and the read / write circuit 7
2 operates to read the data of the card. The CPU 52 stores this data in the RAM 64.

The IC card 80 stores data as shown in FIG. The card type code stores a code indicating that the card is an IC card. The system type card is a code stored for distinguishing another system card from the system card. Finally, postpaid amounts, information and prohibitions are stored.

[0020] Next, CPU 52 in step S _20, the system type code is loaded into RAM 64, and determines whether or not consistent with the type code of the system. If the system type codes do not match, the CPU 52
Suspends processing. Thereafter, the card transport section 74 is controlled to carry out the card. If the system type code is the same, the process proceeds to step S _21, "Turn on the power."
Is displayed on the display unit 69. Accordingly, the user can select the desired television 34a, video 34b,
The switch (not shown) of the range 34c is turned on. At this point, the switches 46, 48, 50 remain open,
Power to the device containing the switch determines whether the reached the rear払限degree value (step S _22). If the limit is reached and addition is impossible, that is, if it is 0, the processing is interrupted. Thereafter, the card transport section 74 is controlled to carry out the card. That is, the use of the card is not permitted. If the limit has not been reached and addition is possible, that is, positive, step S
Proceed to ₂₃ and close all switches 46, 48, 50. Thus, only the devices the user has switched on in step S ₂₄ starts the operation.

[0021] Next, CPU 52 takes in the output of the detection circuit 60 from the port ₁ 1, 1 _2, 1 _3, which use time corresponding device to determine whether a busy (step S _25). The case use time corresponding equipment in use there is no (i.e. if any to no current flows through the power supply lines 40, 42, 44), repeatedly executes steps S _23, S _24, put the "Power Please guidance "is displayed. If there is equipment in use, the process proceeds to step S _26, turn off the guidance of "Turn on the power." Next, the display unit 69 the current equipment usage (step S _27).

Next, based on the frequency subtraction coefficient for each device determined by the usage fee per unit time and the device used, the total postpaid amount addition coefficient M
The computed (step S _28). The postpaid amount addition coefficient of the device (television) 34a is a, and the device (video) 34b
The postpaid balance amount addition coefficient is b and the equipment (range)
If the postpaid amount addition coefficient c is 34c, the total postpaid amount addition coefficient M is obtained as shown in FIG.
The total postpaid amount addition coefficient M may be obtained by preparing a table as shown in FIG. 12 in the RAM 64, or may be calculated by the following expression. M = A ₁ · H ₁ + A ₂ · H ₂ + A ₃ · H ₃ + ... + A
_n , H _n where the variables indicating the presence or absence of the operation of the respective use time devices are A ₁ , A ₂ ... An, and the variables indicating the addition coefficients of the respective use time corresponding devices are H ₁ , H _2.・ Hn. The subscript of each variable indicates the number of the device corresponding to the use time, and the variables A ₁ , A ₂ ... An indicate 1 if the device corresponding to the use time is operating, and 0 if it is not operating. And its contents.

Next, the available time (1
Calculating on the basis of the referred to as the cycle time Tm) in the following equation (step S _29). Tm = reference time T / subtraction coefficient M In this embodiment, the reference time is about 10 minutes. When one cycle time Tm is obtained, RAM
The post-payment amount stored in 64 is added and updated as a new post-payment amount (step S ₃₀ ). That is, in this embodiment, a post-payment system is adopted.

[0024] Next, in step S _31, to determine whether the deferred payment amount has reached the deferred payment limit. If the limit has not been reached and addition is possible, that is, positive, the CPU 52
Writes the postpaid amount on the card by the read / write circuit 72 (step _S32 ). Then, the timer 66 is set to 1
The cycle time Tm is set (step _S33 ). Then, CPU 52 in accordance with clocking until one cycle time is completed (until the timer 66 counts up) the timer 66 to change adds a post-payment amount display (step S _{34, 35).} When one cycle time is completed, the flow returns to step S _25. At this time, if there is a use state of the device (increase or decrease of the use time corresponding devices in use), one cycle time is calculated by the addition coefficient M corresponding to the use state. That is, appropriate card management can be performed even when a plurality of devices are used at the same time.

In (Step S ₃₁ ), if the calculated postpaid amount has reached the limit and is negative, the remaining time Tx is calculated (Step S ₃₆ ). Next, the fact that the limit has been reached, that is, 0 is written to the card by the read / write circuit 72 (step _S37 ). Then, the remaining time Tx is set in the timer 66 (step _S38 ). Thereafter, the CPU 52 sets the timer 6 until the remaining time Tx elapses (until the timer 66 counts up).
6 Follow the timing of the changes added to the deferred payment amount display (step S _39, S _40). When the remaining time Tx has elapsed, all the switches 46, 48, 50 are opened, and the respective devices 34a, 34
The power supply to b and 34c is forcibly stopped (step _S41 ). After that, the process ends, and the IC card 80 is ejected.

By the way, when the postpaid amount on the IC card 80 has not reached the limit, the devices 34a, 34b, 34
To stop using c, use the card removal button 7
Press 5. When the button 75 is pressed, the signal is applied to the interrupt port 1 ₀ CPU 52, CPU 52 performs the interrupt operation. In the interrupt operation, CPU 52, first stops the subtraction timer 66 (step S _50). further,
The postpaid amount at that time is written on the card (step _S51 ). Thereafter, the processing is terminated, and the card is ejected.

(Operation Program Corresponding to Sales Quantity) Next, an operation for purchasing a product from the vending machine 35a will be described with reference to FIG. When a product selection purchase button (not shown) of the vending machine 35a is pressed, the vending machine 3
5a outputs a sales request signal. This signal is on line 4
3 via a given interrupt input port 1 ₄ CPU 52, receiving this, CPU 52 executes the interrupt processing program of FIG. Therefore, CPU5
2 temporarily executes the program of FIG. 4 and executes the program for the vending machine 35a. The interruption process is performed so that the vending machine 35a can deal with the sales request at any time.
It should be noted that multitasking is used instead of interrupt processing, as shown in FIG.
May be performed.

FIG. 13 shows a sales request signal sent from the vending machine 35 to the CPU 52. It is composed of a control code assigned for transmission and a product code to be sold. When there is an interruption due to the sales request signal, the CPU 52 obtains an addition coefficient corresponding to the sent product code (step _S80 ). In the RAM 64,
A table as shown in FIG. 14 is prepared, and the CPU
52 finds a corresponding addition coefficient according to this table. In this embodiment, since the interruption process is performed every time there is a sale request for one product, the CPU 52 sets this addition coefficient as the product sales addition coefficient N and proceeds to the next step. For vending machines that can be purchased in bulk, the product sales addition coefficient N is calculated by summing the addition coefficients of the products purchased together.

Next, the CPU 52 calculates the commodity sales frequency addition coefficient N from the postpaid amount stored in the RAM 64.
Is subtracted to calculate a new residual frequency (step _S81 ).
Next, it is determined whether the remaining frequency is negative or positive. If the limit has not been reached, the CPU 52 returns the read /
The new postpaid amount is written on the card by the write circuit 72 (step _S83 ). Then, from the output port 0 _4,
A sales command signal is output (step _S84 ). This signal is provided to vending machine 35a via line 45. The vending machine 35a receives this sales command signal,
Release the product. At the same time, the CPU 52 turns on the display of "Commodity sold" on the front of the main body for a predetermined time (step _S85 ). After that, the interrupt processing ends, and the program returns to the program in FIG. If it is determined in step _S82 that the limit has been reached and the amount is negative, the interrupt processing is terminated without issuing a sales command signal, and the program returns to the program in FIG. It discharges the card when the prohibition of the prohibition and system card match (FIG. 6, step S _11).

In this embodiment, the RAM
The operation program and the charge setting data stored in the memory 64 are also rewritten by the card. That is, in addition to the postpayment amount adding process described above, the operation mode setting mode and the fee setting process are provided. The supervisor card 82 of FIG. 10 is used for the operation setting processing, and the charge setting card 8 of FIG. 11 is used for the charge setting processing.
4 is used. The supervisor card 82 stores a card type code, a master code, an operation program, constants for various operations, and a system type code. The charge setting card 84 stores a card type code, a system type code, a charge calculation program, and a charge calculation constant.

FIG. 6 shows an overall flowchart including the postpaid amount addition mode, the operation program setting mode, and the charge setting mode. The addition processing shown in FIG. 4 and FIG.
It is represented as step S ₁₀ in FIG.

[0032] First, in step S _1, when the power is turned CPU52 is reset to the card system management apparatus 1, the initial state. Then, CPU 52 is a cut off by opening all switches 46, 48, 50 (step S _2). That is, power is not supplied to the television 34a, the video 34b, and the range 34c unless a card is inserted. In this state, the CPU 5
2, controls the display circuit 68, the display of "Please put your card" on the display unit (step S _3). Next, when a card is inserted from the card insertion slot 73, the display of "Please insert a card" disappears. (Step S _6). Next, the data stored in the card is read into a buffer in the RAM 64 via the read / write circuit 72 (step S ₄ ).

[0033] Next, in step S _7, CPU52
Determines the card type from the card type code of the inserted card. Now, assuming that the IC card 80 is inserted, the CPU 52 performs the addition processing of FIG. 4 (step S ₁₀ ).

(Operation Program Setting Apparatus) If the card is a supervisor card 82, an operation program setting process is performed. FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the operation program setting process. First, in (step S _60), checking the appropriateness of the master code which has been stored in the supervisor card 82. This master code proves that the supervisor card 82 is a correct card. If the master code is not correct, then ends the operation program setting process, and discharges the card (FIG. 6, step S _11).

If the master code is correct, C
The PU 52 converts the operation program stored in the card into an R
Transferred to the operation program area of AM64 (step S _61). If the operation program has already been stored in the RAM 52, the previous operation program is erased by overwriting the new operation program. In addition to the operation program, the operation constant for determining the operation of the card system management device 1 is transferred to the RAM 64. here,
The operation constant is a constant that determines the basic operation of the management device 1, and is, for example, a numerical value that determines the timing of lighting the operation guidance and the timing of ejecting the card.

Next, stores system type code in RAM 64 (step S _62). The system type code is a code for determining what kind of system the management device is used for. For example, for a card system that targets only a specific area / equipment, the specific system type code is stored in the RAM 64 of the management device, and the consistency with the system type code of the IC card 80 is determined ( the aforementioned FIG. 4, see step S _20). Therefore, there is no possibility that the management device is activated by cards of different systems.

[0037] As described above, if stored RAM64 operation programs and operation constant, and the process ends, and discharges the card (FIG. 6, step S _11). Thereafter, the management device operates according to the newly stored operation program. That is, the programs shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (or any one of them) are changed to new contents. In this way, just by inserting the supervisor card 82,
The operation program can be set and changed. Therefore, it is possible to extremely easily change the operation of the management device 1 or use the management device 1 for another system.

(Charge Setting Processing) In this embodiment, the charge setting / change is performed separately by the charge setting card 74. This takes into account that the charge change is performed more complicatedly than the system change, and that the subject of the charge change is often different from the subject of the system change. In step S ₇ of FIG. 6, the card type code, if it is determined that the pricing card, use gold setting process is performed (step S _9). FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the fee setting process. First, in step S _70, the appropriateness of the stored system type card is judged on the card.
The system type code stored in the card is stored in the RAM 6
If the system type code is different from the system type code stored in step S4, the processing is terminated and the card is ejected (step S in FIG. 6).
₁₁ ).

If the system type code matches the code stored in the RAM 64, the charge calculation program and the charge calculation constants (such as the frequency of subtraction of all kinds of tsuba) stored in the card 84 are written into the RAM 64 (step S). ₇₁ ). If writing is completed, the card is discharged (Fig. 6, step S _11). Thereafter, the calculation is performed by a new charge calculation program (for example, the addition coefficient M of each device or the addition coefficient N of each product is changed). That is, the part of the fee calculation in the programs of FIGS. 4 and 5 is changed. As described above, the charge calculation can be easily changed only by inserting the charge setting card 84.

(Other Embodiments) In the above embodiment, the number of devices corresponding to the usage time connected to the card system management apparatus is three, but one, two, and
Four or more units may be used. Further, the number of devices corresponding to the sales quantity may be three or more. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the one cycle time Tm is changed by the addition coefficient M for the device corresponding to the use time. However, the one cycle time Tm may be fixed, and the added amount may be changed after the one cycle time Tm has elapsed. Further, in the above embodiment, the value proportional to the usage fee per predetermined reference time of each device is used as the addition coefficient M of the usage time corresponding device,
A value proportional to the available time per predetermined reference fee of each device may be used.
