Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Informationsterminal, das zumindest ein Grundgehäuse, einen Bildschirm und eine Eingabevorrichtung wie eine Tastatur und/oder einen Kartenleser und eine Ausgabevorrichtung für die Ausgabe von Belegen aufweist.The invention relates to an information terminal comprising at least a base housing, a screen and an input device such as a keyboard and / or a card reader and an output device for the output of documents.

Informationsterminals der gattungsgemäßen Art sind in vielerlei Ausführungsformen bekannt und werden in Banken, Geschäftshäusern, Behörden und Museen, aber auch in Betriebs- oder Produktionsräumen der Industrie eingesetzt und verwendet. Das Terminal weist häufig einen Kartenleser, der als Magnetkartenleser oder Chipkartenleser ausgebildet ist, auf. Der Terminalbenutzer gibt hier seine Magnet- oder Chipkarte ein, die seine persönlichen Daten enthält und kann dann am Gerät ihn betreffende persönliche Informationen abrufen, wie beispielsweise seine Kontostanddaten an einem Kontoauszugsdrucker. Darüber hinaus kann eine Tastatur zur Eingabe von Informationen-vorgesehen sein. Des weiteren ist das Terminal mit einem Drucker versehen, damit die abgerufenen Daten auf Papier ausgedruckt werden können. Der Beleg wird dem Benutzer angeboten, der ihn in der Regel auch entnimmt. Sollte jedoch der Benutzer es innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitintervalls versäumt haben, die Belege aus der Ausgabevorrichtung zu entnehmen, werden sie wieder eingezogen und in einem Rücknahmefach abgelegt. Die Belege werden dann später von dem Servicepersonal aus dem Rücknahmefach entnommen. Handelt es sich hierbei jedoch um personal bezogene Daten, die von einer dritten Person nicht eingesehen werden sollen, so tritt hier möglicherweise eine Sicherheitslücke auf.Information terminals of the generic type are known in many embodiments and are used and used in banks, commercial buildings, government agencies and museums, but also in industrial or production areas of industry.

In addition, a keyboard may be provided for entering information. Furthermore, the terminal is provided with a printer, so that the retrieved data can be printed on paper. The document is offered to the user, who usually also removes it. However, should the user fail to remove the receipts from the dispenser within a certain time interval, they will be retracted and placed in a return tray.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, diese Sicherheitslücke zu schließen.The object of the invention is therefore to close this vulnerability.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß Anspruch 1 durch eine Vorrichtung und durch Anspruch 4 als Verfahren gelöst.This object is achieved according to claim 1 by a device and by claim 4 as a method.

The drawings show:
FIG. 1
a perspective view of an information terminal;
FIG. 2
a schematic view of a printing unit.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Informationsterminal 1 dargestellt, wobei es sich dabei beispielsweise um einen Kontoauszugsdrucker oder ein Gerät für den Abruf und die Bearbeitung von personenbezogenen Daten handeln kann. Derartige Informationsterminals werden in der Industrie in Produktionsstätten beispielsweise für die Bearbeitung von Urlaubsanträgen eingesetzt. Das Informationsterminal 1 weist ein Grundgehäuse 2, einen Bildschirm 3, eine Eingabevorrichtung 4 in Form einer Tastatur und/oder eines Kartenlesers (hier nicht dargestellt) sowie eine Ausgabevorrichtung 5 für die Ausgabe von Belegen auf. In dem Grundgehäuse 2 befindet sich ein hier nicht dargestellter Computer für die Datenverarbeitung und die Ansteuerung der einzelnen Komponenten sowie eine Druckeinheit 6 für das Bedrucken von Belegen und ein Behälter für den Papiervorrat.In Fig. 1 an information terminal 1 is shown, which may be, for example, a statement printer or a device for the retrieval and processing of personal data. Such information terminals are used in industry in production facilities, for example for the processing of vacation applications. The information terminal 1 has a base housing 2, a screen 3, an input device 4 in the form of a keyboard and / or a card reader (not shown here) and an output device 5 for the output of documents. In the basic housing 2 is a computer, not shown here for the data processing and the control of the individual components and a printing unit 6 for the printing of documents and a container for the paper supply.

In Fig. 2 sind die einzelnen Komponenten der Druckeinheit 6 näher dargestellt. Die Druckeinheit 6 umfasst eine Druckstation 7, wobei es sich bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel um eine Thermodruckzeile 7a für das Bedrucken von Thermopapier handelt. Da eine Thermodruckzeile sich durch eine sehr hohe Lebensdauer auszeichnet, ist der Austausch von verbrauchten Farbbändern wie bei einem Nadeldrucker nicht erforderlich, so dass nachfolgende Servicearbeiten an der Druckstation entfallen, was insbesondere im Selbstbedienungsumfeld von Vorteil ist. Es kann jedoch auch ein Nadeldrucker, ein Tintenstrahldrucker oder ein Laserdrucker eingesetzt werden.In Fig. 2 the individual components of the printing unit 6 are shown in more detail. The printing unit 6 comprises a printing station 7, wherein the exemplary embodiment shown here is a thermal printing line 7a for printing on thermal paper. Since a thermal printing line is characterized by a very long service life, the replacement of used ink ribbons as a dot matrix printer is not required, so that subsequent service work at the printing station accounts, which is particularly advantageous in self-service environment. However, it is also possible to use a dot matrix printer, an inkjet printer or a laser printer.

Das zu bedruckende Papier wird in einer Belegzuführung 8 der Druckstation 7 zugeführt. Es kann sich dabei auch um eine doppelte Belegzuführung handeln, die die Zuführung von verschiedenen Papierformaten oder bereits vorbedruckten Belegen, die beispielsweise mit einem farbigen Logo versehen sind, ermöglicht. So kann beispielsweise zunächst ein farbig gestaltetes Deckblatt und anschließend ein übliches weißes Papier bedruckt werden. Es kann sich dabei jeweils um Einzelblattpapier oder um Endlospapier, das in der Druckeinheit auf das gewünschte Format geschnitten wird, handeln. Eine Transportwalze 9 dient zum Transport des Papiers und drückt das Papier gegen die Thermodruckzeile 7a. Die Transportwalze 9 dient hier somit gleichzeitig als Druckgegenlager. Im Rahmen der Erfindung können jedoch weitere Walzen und Transportrollen eingesetzt werden. Nachdem das Papier bedruckt worden ist, wird es an die Ausgabevorrichtung 5 weitergegeben. Vorteilhafterweise werden jedoch mehrere Belege als Bündel ausgegeben. Zur Bündelbildung ist beispielsweise eine Sammeltrommel 11 vorgesehen.The paper to be printed is fed to the printing station 7 in a document feeder 8. It can also be a double document feeder, which allows the supply of different paper sizes or pre-printed documents, which are provided for example with a colored logo. Thus, for example, first a color-designed cover sheet and then a standard white paper can be printed. It may be either single sheet paper or continuous paper cut to the desired size in the printing unit. A transport roller 9 serves to transport the paper and presses the paper against the thermal printing line 7a. The transport roller 9 thus serves here simultaneously as a platen. In the context of the invention, however, further rollers and transport rollers can be used. After the paper has been printed, it is passed to the output device 5. Advantageously, however, several documents are output as bundles. For bundling, for example, a collecting drum 11 is provided.

Werden die angebotenen Belege nicht entnommen, so werden sie nach einem bestimmten Zeitintervall wieder aus der Ausgabevorrichtung 5 zurückgezogen und in ein Rücknahmefach 12 transportiert, das vom Servicepersonal regelmäßig geleert wird. Vor dem Rücknahmefach 12 ist eine Baugruppe 14 angeordnet, die den zurückgezogenen Beleg unleserlich macht. Handelt es sich um ein Belegbündel, so ist die Baugruppe 14 vorzugsweise als Schneidevorrichtung beispielsweise in Form eines Aktenvernichters ausgebildet, der das Belegbündel derart zerschneidet, dass es nicht mehr lesbar ist. Werden jedoch vorzugsweise nur Einzelblätter ausgegeben, so ist vorteilhafterweise eine gänzliche oder teilweise Schwärzung vorgesehen. In diesem Fall ist die Baugruppe 14 vorzugsweise als Druckwerk ausgebildet. Als Druckwerk kann beispielsweise ein Tintenstrahldrucker eingesetzt werden, der das Blatt oder die entscheidenden Informationen auf dem Beleg mit einer Tinte verfärbt, wobei es sich auch um andere Farben als schwarz handeln kann.If the offered documents are not removed, they are withdrawn from the dispensing device 5 again after a certain time interval and transported to a return tray 12, which is regularly emptied by the service personnel. Before the return tray 12, an assembly 14 is arranged, which makes the withdrawn document illegible. If it is a document bundle, then the assembly 14 is preferably designed as a cutting device, for example in the form of a shredder that cuts the document bundle so that it is no longer legible. However, if only single sheets are preferably dispensed, it is advantageous to provide complete or partial blackening. In this case, the assembly 14 is preferably formed as a printing unit. As a printing unit, for example, an inkjet printer can be used, which discolors the sheet or the crucial information on the slip with an ink, which may also be other colors than black.

Wird wie in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel Thermopapier eingesetzt, so kann zum Schwärzen des Papiers als Baugruppe 14 erfindungsgemäß ein Thermodruckwerk verwendet werden, wobei es sich dabei um eine Thermodruckzeile 15 oder auch um eine Fixierstation, wie sie beispielsweise in Laserdruckern eingesetzt wird, handeln kann. Es ist dabei auch denkbar, dass bei einer Thermodruckzeile nicht alle Pixel gleichzeitig angesteuert werden, sondern nur ein Teil der Pixel, so dass nur eine partielle Schwärzung des Belegs erfolgt, die jedoch für das Unkenntlichmachen des Belegs ausreichend ist. Soll auch ein Bündel bestehend aus Thermopapier mittels einer Thermodruckstation geschwärzt werden, so ist das Bündel vor der Baugruppe 14 mittels einer Vereinzelungsvorrichtung zu vereinzeln, so dass jeweils Einzelblätter der Thermodruckstation 15 zugeführt werden können. Bei zwei oder drei Belegen ist es jedoch auch möglich, durch eine stärkere Bestromung der Thermozeile beide Belege gleichzeitig zu schwärzen. Eine Vereinzelung eines Bündels von Belegen erfolgt selbstverständlich auch, wenn als Baugruppe 14 ein Tintenstrahldrucker eingesetzt wird.If, as in the illustrated embodiment, thermal paper is used, a thermal printing unit can be used according to the invention for blackening the paper as an assembly 14, which can be a thermal printing line 15 or a fuser station, as used in laser printers, for example. It is also conceivable that in a thermal printing line, not all pixels are controlled simultaneously, but only a part of the pixels, so that only a partial blackening of the document is done, which is sufficient for the defacing of the document. If a bundle consisting of thermal paper is also to be blackened by means of a thermal printing station, then the bundle is to be singled out in front of the assembly 14 by means of a separating device, so that individual sheets of the thermal printing station 15 can be fed. In the case of two or three documents, however, it is also possible to blacken both documents at the same time by intensifying the current supply to the thermal line. Separation of a bundle of documents is of course also carried out when an ink jet printer is used as assembly 14.

Da ein Teil der zurückgeführten Belege keine kritischen Daten enthält, ist es auch nicht erforderlich, dass diese geschwärzt oder vernichtet werden. Daher ist vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen, die Baugruppe 14 nur dann anzusteuern, falls es sich um Belege mit sensiblen Daten handelt. Daher wird die Information jeweils entsprechend gekennzeichnet, so dass eine Aktivierung der Baugruppe 14 in Abhängigkeit von dem Inhalt der Information mittels einer Anwendungssoftware gesteuert werden kann. Dies bedeutet beispielsweise für eine Thermodruckzeile, dass die Gegendruckwalze 16 zum Andrücken des Papiers an die Thermodruckzeile 15 nicht angesteuert wird und die Pixel der Druckzeile 15 nicht bestromt werden. Es verbleibt somit ein Spalt zwischen Transportwalze 16 und Thermodruckzeile 15, durch den das Papier durchlaufen kann.Because some of the returned records do not contain critical data, they are not required to be blacked out or destroyed. Therefore, it is advantageously provided to drive the module 14 only if it concerns documents with sensitive data. Therefore, the information is respectively marked accordingly so that activation of the assembly 14 can be controlled by application software depending on the content of the information. This means, for example for a thermal printing line, that the counterpressure roller 16 is not actuated for pressing the paper onto the thermal printing line 15 and the pixels of the print line 15 are not energized. There thus remains a gap between transport roller 16 and thermal printing line 15, through which the paper can pass.

Insgesamt schließt somit die Erfindung die Sicherheitslücke für zurückgezogene Belege, die personenbezogene oder andere sensible Daten enthalten.Overall, therefore, the invention closes the vulnerability to withdrawn vouchers containing personal or other sensitive data.
