Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an automatic transaction apparatus which performs a transaction
by using a transaction medium such as a card by a client.
Background Art
[0002] An automatic transaction apparatus which performs various transactions according
to operations by a client is installed in a sales office of a financial institution
or a convenience store.
[0003] Such an automatic transaction apparatus allows a client to insert a card when transacting;
reads card data of an account number, a branch number, and the like from a magnetic
stripe formed at the card by a card reader while conveying the transaction card; discharges
the card upon completion of the transaction; and returns the card to the client. In
recent years, there have been increased crimes that card data is read from a card
of a client performing a transaction by a skimming device attached to a card insertion/discharge
port of a card reader of an automatic transaction apparatus use the data illegally.
[0004] When a skimming device is installed at a card insertion/discharge port provided in
an automatic transaction apparatus, most of the skimming device can read account data
from a card without any recognition by a client since it is so precisely fabricated
that it cannot be apparently distinguished from a normal card insertion port which
is originally provided in the automatic transaction apparatus.
[0005] Hence, a financial institution takes means for detecting a skimming device which
is illegally installed as countermeasures for preventing any illegal acquirement of
account data by the skimming device.
[0006] As one of the countermeasures, there has been proposed an automatic transaction apparatus
in which a flicker having light sources of plural colors is disposed around a card
insertion inlet (see, e.g., Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (
JP-A) No. 2007-279877). When a client selects a transaction in an input and display unit, a control unit
of the automatic transaction apparatus selectively determines one of plural kinds
of prepared light emitting patterns, and alternately displays a light state still
image and an extinguish state still image of the lighting flicker with a light emitting
color of the determined light emitting pattern at the input/display unit. Moreover,
the control unit allows the flicker disposed around the card insertion port to emit
light so as to alternately repeat lighting and extinguishing with the light emitting
color of the determined light emitting pattern, thereby making the client verify whether
or not the light emitting pattern of the flicker based on the image matches with the
light emitting pattern of the flicker around the card insertion/discharge port. In
this manner, even if the skimming device provided with a light emitting function is
installed in the card insertion/discharge port, the presence of the skimming device
can be recognized based on the difference of the light emitting patterns.
[0007] There has been proposed a system in which an imaging device provided with a lens
with an auto focusing control function is installed at a position where a card insertion
unit of an ATM (an automatic teller machine, an automatic transaction machine) can
be imaged from the top in front (see, e.g., Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open
(
JP-A) No. 2008-225670). In this system, when a skimming device is installed in the card insertion unit,
the imaging device detects a change in focal distance to a skimming device, and transmits
imaging distance information from an auto focusing control unit which drives the auto
focusing control function to a calculating unit. The calculating unit determines that
the skimming device is installed when the imaging distance information falls within
a predetermined range, thereby issuing an alarm.
[0008] The document
US2004/0026507 discloses a magnetic card transaction apparatus wherein the movement of the magnetic
card through the slot of the apparatus is interrupted thereby making it difficult
for an illegal read head to read the stripe.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem
[0009] However, in the prior art, the flicker having the light sources of plural colors
needs to be disposed at the card insertion inlet of the automatic transaction apparatus
or the imaging device having the auto focus function needs to be installed at the
position where the card insertion port can be imaged. As a consequence, mechanical
parts or devices need to be additionally provided, thereby taking time and cost required
for the provision.
Solution To Problem
[0010] An automatic transaction apparatus according to the invention includes a console
display section that displays a screen that guides a client to perform an operation
required to select a transaction and make a transaction and the like; and a data reader
that takes a transaction medium of the client, which is inserted through a medium
insertion/discharge port, and that reads data from a magnetic stripe formed at the
transaction medium. The automatic transaction apparatus controls a length of an end
of the transaction medium, which projects from the medium insertion/discharge port
when the transaction medium is discharged, is controlled to be a length that smaller
than or equal to 10 mm.
Advantageous Effects Of Invention
[0011] According to the invention, it is possible to allow a client who is an owner of a
transaction medium such as a card for using for a transaction to certainly recognize
an installation of a skimming device without additionally providing mechanical parts
or devices and taking any time and cost required for the provision, and thus any illegal
utilization of data can be prevented.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0013] A description will be given below of an automatic transaction apparatus (hereinafter
referred to as an ATM) according to the invention with reference to the attached drawings.
[0014] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an ATM 1 in an exemplary embodiment according
to the invention.
[0015] In FIG. 1, the ATM 1 is an automatic transaction apparatus installed in a sales office
and etc. of a financial institution. The ATM 1 includes a card processor (i.e., a

[0017] The card insertion/discharge port 2a, the speaker 3a, the bankbook insertion/discharge
port 4a, the bill input/output port 5a, and the coin input/output port 6a are arranged
in a manner corresponding to the card processor 2, the voice guidance section 3, the
bankbook processor 4, the bill input/output section 5, and the coin input/output section
6 described in FIG.1, respectively. The card processor 2 reads card data (transaction
data) such as an account number from a magnetic stripe (a magnetic data storage) of
a card which is a transaction medium of a client to be inserted through the card insertion/discharge
port 2a, and writes predetermined data as required. The bankbook processor 4 reads
bankbook data (transaction data) such as an account number from a magnetic stripe
(a magnetic data storage) of a client bankbook to be inserted through the bankbook
insertion/discharge port 4a, and prints transaction contents, data which has not been
printed yet, and the like in a print column of the bankbook.
[0018] The card processor 2 may be a card reader which only reads card data from a magnetic
stripe of a card.
[0019] The bill input/output section 5 performs receiving (depositing) processing which
screens input bills which a client inputs into the bill input/output port 5a, counts
them and accommodates them in a bill accommodation section; and paying (withdrawal,
dispensing) processing which feeds bills of a bill type and an amount designated by
the client from the bill accommodation section, screens and counts them, and then,
dispenses them through the bill input/output port 5a. The coin input/output section
6 performs receiving processing which screens coins which the client inputs into the
coin input/output port 6a, counts them and accommodates them in a coin accommodation
section; and paying processing which feeds coins of a coin type and an amount designated
by the client from the coin accommodation section, screens and counts them, and then,
dispenses them through the coin input/output port 6a.
[0020] The voice guidance section 3 outputs a message and the like which guides a client
to perform an operation as a guidance voice from the speaker 3 a.
[0021] The console display section 8 displays a screen in which a message which guides the
client to perform an operation is arranged and various kinds of input keys. The client
can input information which is defined to an input key by depressing an input key
on a touch panel with a finger. Moreover, the console display 8 may display input
information and the like.
[0022] The memory 9 stores input data and the like at the time of a transaction as well
as a control program for controlling operation of the apparatus. Moreover, the memory
9 stores a transaction selection screen, a guidance screen in each processing step
for each transaction, an input screen and the like.
[0023] The controller 7 controls the card processor 2, the voice guidance section 3, the
bankbook processor 4, the bill input/output section 5, the coin input/output section
6, the console display section 8 and the like based on the control program stored
in the memory 9. Moreover, the controller 7 has a function of displaying the screen
stored in the memory 9 at the console display section 8 at any time so as to conduct
various kinds of transactions. In conducting the transactions, the controller 7 communicates
with a host computer serving as an upper level apparatus via the interface 10, and
transmits and receives required information thereto and therefrom.
[0024] The host computer is installed in a center or the like of the financial institution,
and is equipped with a function of managing, as account data, a client name, an account
number, a secret identification number, data of a transaction history which has not
been printed yet, a balance and the like.
[0025] FIGS. 3A to 3C are side views showing an inside structure of the card processor 2.
A straight conveyance path 10 extends toward the rear (the inside of the apparatus)
from the card insertion/discharge port 2a. The conveyance path 10 is formed as a space
defined by a pair of upper and lower guide plates.
[0026] A detecting sensor 11 is a card detector which includes a light emitting element
and a light receiving element which are disposed opposite upper and lower sides while
sandwiching the conveyance path 10 therebetween and arranged in the vicinity of the
card insertion/discharge port 2a in the card processor 2.
[0027] A plurality of pairs of conveyance rollers 12a to 12d and pressure rollers 13a to
13d which forms a conveyance unit are provided such that each pair are disposed opposite
upper and lower sides.
[0028] The conveyance rollers 12a to 12d are driven via gears, belts and the like, not shown,
by a stepping motor (a drive source), not shown, and rotationally nip and hold the
card between the pressure rollers 13a to 13d and the conveyance rollers 12a to 12d
to convey the card.
[0029] A magnetic head 14 which performs reading processing which reads magnetic data recorded
on a magnetic stripe of the card, described later, and the like, is disposed at a
predetermined position of the conveyance path 3, for example, at a position between
the conveyance rollers 12b and 12c. Above the magnetic head 14, a pressure roller
15 which presses the card on the magnetic head 14 is arranged.
[0030] A card 16 which is used as a transaction medium by a client who performs a transaction
in the ATM 1 has a magnetic stripe, in which the card data such as the account number
of the client, a branch number and the like are magnetically recorded.
[0031] Next, explanation will be made of an operation of the above-described configuration.
[0032] Operations by the components described below are controlled by the controller 7 based
on programs (software) stored in the memory 9.
[0033] When a client coming to a sales office of a financial institution stands at front
of the ATM 1, and selects a transaction at the transaction selection screen displayed
on the console display section 8, the controller 7 performs processing in accordance
with a program for the selected transaction.
[0034] When a withdrawal transaction, for example, is selected, a screen which prompts insertion
of the card is displayed at the console display section 8. According to this, the
client inserts the card 16 into the card insertion/discharge port 2a of the card processor
2, as shown in FIG. 3A. When the detecting sensor 11 detects the end of the card 16,
the conveyance rollers 12a to 12d are driven via the gear, belts and the like, not
shown, by the stepping motor (the drive source), not shown, and thus, the conveyance
rollers 12a to 12d rotate in a direction in which the card is taken in.
[0035] When the end of the card 16 is inserted between the conveyance roller 12a and the
pressure roller 13a, the card 16 is taken into the card processor 2 and conveyed by
the conveyance rollers 12a to 12d rotating, as shown in FIG. 3B, and the magnetic
head 14 reads the card data such as the account number of the client, the branch number
and the like from the magnetic stripes formed at the card 16.
[0036] The card 16 after the card data has been read is further conveyed while being nipped
and held between the conveyance rollers 12b and 12c and the pressure rollers 13b and
13c until the card 16 passes through between the magnetic head 14 and the pressure
roller 15. When the card 16 is nipped and held between the conveyance rollers 12c
and 12d and the pressure rollers 13c and 13d, the controller 7 stops the stepping
motor, thereby stopping the rotation of the conveyance rollers 12a to 12d.
[0037] Thus, the card 16 stops while being nipped and held between the conveyance rollers
12c and 12d and the pressure rollers 13c and 13d, and stands by.
[0038] Thereafter, when the client inputs the secret identification number and the withdrawal
amount in accordance with the screen displayed at the console display section 8, the
controller 7 transmits the secret identification number and the withdrawal amount
which are input by the client and the card data to the host computer via the interface
10. When information which expresses allowance of the transaction is received from
the host computer, the controller 7 performs dispensing of money of the withdrawal
amount with the bill input/output unit 5 and/or the coin input/output unit 6, to dispenses
cash to the client from the bill input/output port 5a and/or the coin input/output
port 6a.
[0039] At the same time, the controller 7 drives the stepping motor, not shown, so as to
rotate the conveyance rollers 12a to 12d in a direction in which the card is discharged.
[0040] Consequently, the card 16 is conveyed toward the card insertion/discharge port 2a.
When the detecting sensor 11 detects of the end of the card 16, the controller 7 drives
the stepping motor by a predetermined pulse after a time point of the detection of
the card by the detecting sensor 11, and then stops the stepping motor, and thereby
controlling such that the end of the card 16 stops while projecting by a predetermined
length from the card insertion/discharge port 2a, as shown in FIG. 3C.
[0041] The predetermined length in this case may be the minimum value (e.g., about 1 mm)
which is required for a client to draw out the card 16 with fingers. The predetermined
length may be greater than or equal to the minimum value required which is required
for a client to draw out the card 16 with fingers and smaller than or equal to a thickness
of a skimming device, described later, (a length in a direction in which the card
is inserted and/or discharged).
[0042] In general, the projection length of the card end from the card insertion/discharge
port 2a at the time of the card discharge is set to about 28 mm such that the client
easily can draw out the card 16 with the fingers.
[0043] However, in this case, when the skimming device is attached (disposed, fixed) at
the card insertion/discharge port 2a, the end of the card 16 projects also from the
skimming device, and therefore, the client misses the existence of the skimming device.
[0044] FIG. 4 is a side view exemplifying a skimming device 17 attached to the card insertion/discharge
port 2a. The skimming device 17 has a through hole 17a communicating with the card
insertion/discharge port 2a.
[0045] The skimming device 17 is provided with therein a magnetic head which reads card
data when the card 16 passes the through hole 17a, a memory which stores the read
card data, a transmitter which transmits the card data to the outside via a radio,
and the like.
[0046] The above-described skimming device 17 is so precisely configured such that the client
cannot recognize that the skimming device 17 is attached or that the skimming device
17 is a part of the card insertion/discharge port 2a, and further, the thickness thereof
is suppressed to about 10 mm.
[0047] Hence, if the projection length of the end of the card 16 from the card insertion/discharge
port 2a during the card discharge is about 28 mm, the end of the card 16 projects
outward of the through hole 17a of the skimming device 17, as indicated by a broken
line in FIG. 4, and thus, the client draws out the card 16 without recognizing the
existence of the skimming device 17 and then goes away.
[0048] In contrast, in the exemplary embodiment, the projection length of the end of the
card 16 from the card insertion/discharge port 2a is controlled to be a length which
is greater than or equal to the minimum length required for the client to draw out
the card 16 with the fingers and which is smaller than or equal to the thickness of
the skimming device 17, described later. Accordingly, the end of the card 16 remains
in the through hole 17a of the skimming device 17, as indicated by a solid line in
FIG. 4, and therefore, the client cannot draw out the card 16. In this manner, the
client can recognize the existence of the skimming device 17.
[0049] At this time, a specific message may be displayed on the screen in the console display
section 8, or a voice may be output from the speaker 3a.
[0050] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen which prompts card extraction
to be displayed on the console display section 8 during card discharge. As illustrated
in FIG. 5, during card discharge, a screen is displayed including a message prompting
card extraction that states "PLEASE EXTRACT THE CARD" together with a warning message
such as "IF YOU CANNOT EXTRACT THE CARD, PLEASE NOTIFY A NEARBY STAFF MEMBER BECAUSE
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT A SKIMMING DEVICE IS ILLEGALLY ATTACHED". Moreover, the
client is notified of a similar message from the speaker 3a by the voice guidance
section 3, and then, the client can notify a nearby staff member that the card 16
cannot be extracted.
[0051] In this manner, the staff member can immediately detach the skimming device 17 so
as to take an action to prevent damage from spreading.
[0052] At this time, an input which expresses that a processing which detaches the skimming
device 17 is input by depressing a verification button 18 displayed at the screen,
and then the transaction is completed.
[0053] In this case, since there is a possibility that the card data is read during the
card insertion and the read data is transmitted to the outside, if the skimming device
17 is detached, the account number of the client is changed and the card data is rewritten
after the card 16 is drawn out.
[0054] If a skimming device 17 is not attached, the client draws out the card 16 with fingers
the end of the card 16 projecting by the predetermined length from the card insertion/discharge
port 2a, and then the transaction is completed.
[0055] Note that, if no staff member resides near the ATM 1, the ATM 1 is installed at an
unattended branch or the like, the client may notify a staff member or the like by
a handset for notification of a staff member provided at the ATM 1.
[0056] In the above-described exemplary embodiment, since the projection length of the end
of the card 16 from the card insertion/discharge port 2a during the card discharge
is controlled to be a length which is greater than or equal to the minimum length
required for a client to draw out the card 16 with the fingers and which is smaller
than or equal to the thickness of the skimming device 17, if the skimming device 17
is attached to the card insertion/discharge port 2a, the client cannot draw out the
card 16. Thus, it is possible to prevent any illegal utilization of the data by ensure
that the client recognizes the attachment of the skimming device 17 without adding
any mechanical parts and/or devices and increasing any time and/or cost required for
the addition.
[0057] Note that, although the card discharge has been exemplified at the time of withdrawal
transaction in the above-described exemplary embodiment, the invention may be applied
to all of cases in which the card 16 taken in the card processor 2 is discharged.
In addition, also in the case in which the bankbook as well as the card 16 is used
as transaction media, similar effects can be achieved by the similar control during
the discharge.
[0058] The length of the end of the card 16 projecting from the card insertion/discharge
port 2a during the card discharge in the above-described exemplary embodiment (the
projection length) according to the invention is not limited to the above value, and
it may be set in the following manner.
[0059] For example, the length of the end of the card projecting from the card insertion/discharge
port 2a during the card discharge is set to the minimum value required for a client
to draw out the card 16 with the fingers, and, when the end of the card 16 projects
from the card insertion/discharge port 2a, the console display section 8 displays
a screen which makes the client to verify whether or not the end of the card 16 projects.
[0060] Whether or not the end of the card 16 projects is input by depressing "Yes" and "No"
buttons displayed at the screen. If the "Yes" button expressing the projection is
depressed, the end of the card 16 is made to project from the card insertion/discharge
port 2a until the end of the card 16 projects by a length which facilitates drawing
out (e.g., 20 mm), and the client draws out the card 16. In contrast, if the "No"
button expressing no projection is depressed, the similar processing as described
above is performed by displaying the screen for prompting card extraction illustrated
in FIG. 5.
[0061] Furthermore, when the verification screen for verifying whether or not the end of
the card 16 projects is displayed at the console display section 8, as described above
and if the "Yes" button expressing the projection is depressed, the projection length
of the end of the card 16 from the card insertion/discharge port 2a may be determined
according to a desirable value of the client.
[0062] In a method in this case, data of the projection length is recorded in the magnetic
stripe of the card 16, the data of the projection length is also read when the card
data is data, and the projection length may be controlled, and/or data of the projection
length is registered in advance in the host computer, the data of the projection length
is acquired from the host computer anytime and the projection length may be controlled.
[0063] Additionally, a projection length selecting screen which selects the projection length
may be displayed at the console display section 8 such that the client may select
the projection length.
[0064] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen at which the projection length
of the card 16 is selected. As illustrated in FIG. 6, selection buttons 19a to 19c
which selects projection lengths of, for example, "1 cm," "2 cm," and "3 cm" are displayed
together with a message of "END OF CARD PROJECTS. PLEASE SELECT PROJECTION LENGTH
BY DEPRESSING BUTTON BELOW" or the like for prompting the selection. The client depresses
any one of the selection buttons 19a to 19c, so that the end of the card 16 is controlled
to project from the card insertion/discharge port 2a according to the selected projection
length.
