Description

1. Domaine de l'invention1. Field of the invention

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des terminaux de paiement électronique. En particulier, la présente invention se rapporte au domaine des boitiers de tels terminaux de paiement électroniques.The field of the invention is that of electronic payment terminals. In particular, the present invention relates to the field of boxes of such electronic payment terminals.

2. Art antérieur2. Prior Art

A l'heure actuelle, les terminaux de paiement électroniques sont majoritairement utilisés pour permettre le règlement des achats de biens et de services au sein des points de vente. Un tel terminal comprend généralement un lecteur de carte à puce et un lecteur de carte magnétique. Ils comprennent également un écran, permettant notamment de visualiser des informations telles que les montants des transactions, et un clavier de saisie de ces mêmes montants ainsi que des codes confidentiels saisis par les clients, ou bien un écran tactile. Le terminal comprend également des composants électroniques rassemblés dans une ou plusieurs enceintes sécurisées. Tous ces composants sont inclues dans un boitier, généralement construit à partir d'une demi-coque supérieure et d'une demi-coque inférieure, emboitées l'une sur l'autre. Ces deux demi-coques sont ensuite solidarisées avec des vis.At present, electronic payment terminals are mainly used to pay for purchases of goods and services at points of sale. Such a terminal generally comprises a smart card reader and a magnetic card reader. They also include a screen, in particular to display information such as transaction amounts, and a keyboard for entering the same amounts as well as confidential codes entered by customers, or a touch screen. The terminal also includes electronic components assembled in one or more secure enclosures. All these components are included in a housing, generally constructed from an upper half-shell and a lower half-shell, nested one on the other. These two half-shells are then secured with screws.

Il s'est avéré, cependant, qu'un tel assemblage, dit translatif, réalisé en posant une demi-coque par-dessus une autre demi-coque, n'empêche pas totalement l'ouverture du boitier du terminal. Il est en effet possible, une fois les vis d'assemblage enlevées, de soulever légèrement une des demi-coques, pour avoir accès à l'ensemble des composants du terminal. Des commerçants peu scrupuleux ou des pirates en quête de données de cartes bancaires, peuvent ainsi être tentés de rendre inopérants certains des composants, par exemple dans le but de frauder les administrations fiscales.It turned out, however, that such an assembly, said to be translative, by placing a half-shell over another half-shell, does not completely prevent the opening of the terminal box. It is indeed possible, once the assembly screws removed, to lift slightly one of the half-shells, to have access to all the components of the terminal. Unscrupulous traders or hackers in search of credit card data, may be tempted to make inoperative some of the components, for example in order to defraud tax administrations.

Il existe donc un besoin de fournir des solutions permettant d'éviter ce type de fraude.There is therefore a need to provide solutions to avoid this type of fraud.

3. Objectifs de l'invention3. Objectives of the invention

La présente invention a pour objectif de palier ces inconvénients de l'art antérieur.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art.

En particulier, la présente invention a pour objectif de fournir un terminal de paiement électronique dont le boitier ne puisse pas être ouvert sans laisser de trace indélébile de cette ouverture.In particular, the present invention aims to provide an electronic payment terminal whose housing can not be opened without leaving an indelible trace of this opening.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un tel terminal dont le boitier empêche efficacement l'accès aux composants contenus dans le boitier, tant que le boitier n'est pas ouvert.Another objective of the invention is to provide such a terminal whose housing effectively prevents access to the components contained in the housing, as long as the housing is not open.

L'invention a encore pour objectif de fournir un tel terminal dont le montage soit facile, et qui soit peu onéreux.The invention also aims to provide such a terminal whose assembly is easy, and is inexpensive.

4. Exposé de l'invention4. Presentation of the invention

Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront plus clairement par la suite sont atteints à l'aide d'un terminal de paiement électronique, comprenant un boitier composé de deux demi-coques, l'une formant la partie supérieure du boitier et l'autre formant la partie inférieure du boitier, caractérisé en ce que chacune desdites demi-coques présente des éléments de charnière complémentaires permettant l'assemblage pivotant des deux demi-coques, et en ce que ledit boitier comprend des moyens de blocage du pivotement d'une demi-coque par rapport à l'autre, dans une position de fermeture du boitier dans laquelle les deux demi-coques sont superposées.These objectives, as well as others that will appear more clearly later are achieved using an electronic payment terminal, comprising a case consisting of two half-shells, one forming the upper part of the case and the another forming the lower part of the housing, characterized in that each of said half-shells has complementary hinge elements enabling pivoting assembly of the two half-shells, and in that said housing comprises means for locking the pivoting of a half-shell relative to the other, in a closed position of the housing in which the two half-shells are superimposed.

UN tel boitier permet de renforcer la sécurité du terminal de paiement. Il est en effet nécessaire, pour accéder aux composants contenus dans le boitier, de déverrouiller les moyens de blocage du pivotement, et dans un second temps, de faire pivoter les deux demi-coques d'un angle relativement important. Cet angle est plus important lorsqu'on cherche à accéder à un composant situé à proximité de la charnière. Les composants situés dans le boitier, et particulièrement ceux placés à proximité de la charnière, sont donc protégés des interventions malveillantes.Such a box makes it possible to reinforce the security of the payment terminal. It is indeed necessary, to access the components contained in the housing, to unlock the locking means of pivoting, and in a second step, to rotate the two half-shells a relatively large angle. This angle is more important when trying to access a component located near the hinge. The components located in the housing, and particularly those placed near the hinge, are therefore protected from malicious interventions.

Avantageusement, lesdits éléments de charnière d'une première desdites demi-coques comprend au moins un tenon, et lesdits éléments de charnière de la seconde desdites demi-coques comprend au moins une rainure apte à recevoir ledit tenon, les formes respectives dudit tenon et de ladite rainure étant choisie pour permettre la rotation dudit tenon dans ladite rainure.Advantageously, said hinge elements of a first of said half-shells comprises at least one tenon, and said hinge elements of the second of said half-shells comprises at least one groove adapted to receive said pin, the respective shapes of said pin and said groove being selected to allow rotation of said pin in said groove.

Ces tenons, et ces rainures, peuvent être définis le long d'un bord de chacune des demi-coques.These tenons, and these grooves, can be defined along an edge of each of the half-shells.

Avantageusement, lesdites première et deuxième demi-coques présentent des butées complémentaires, coopérant pour empêcher l'insertion dudit ou desdits tenons dans ladite ou lesdites rainures, ou le retrait dudit ou desdits tenons de ladite ou desdites rainures, dans certaines positions angulaires d'une demi-coque par rapport à l'autre.Advantageously, said first and second half-shells have complementary abutments, cooperating to prevent the insertion of said stud (s) into said groove (s), or the withdrawal of said one or more tenons from said groove (s), in certain angular positions of a half-shell with respect to the other.

Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de butée coopèrent pour empêcher l'insertion dudit ou desdits tenons dans ladite ou lesdites rainures, ou le retrait dudit ou desdits tenons de ladite ou desdites rainures, dans ladite position de fermeture du boitier dans laquelle les deux demi-coques sont superposées.Advantageously, said abutment means cooperate to prevent the insertion of said tenons into said groove or grooves, or the removal of said tenon or said grooves, in said closed position of the case in which the two half-shells are superimposed.

Avantageusement, lesdits éléments de charnière sont placés à proximité d'une première extrémité de chacune desdites demi-coques, et lesdits moyens de blocage du pivotement sont placés à proximité d'une seconde extrémité de chacune desdites demi-coques, opposée à ladite première extrémité.Advantageously, said hinge elements are placed near a first end of each of said half-shells, and said pivot locking means are placed near a second end of each of said half-shells, opposite said first end. .

L'invention concerne également un procédé d'assemblage du boitier d'un terminal de paiement électronique, composé de deux demi-coques, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :

  • une étape d'assemblage d'éléments de charnière complémentaires prévus sur lesdites deux demi-coques ;
  • le pivotement d'une demi-coque par rapport à l'autre, autour de ladite charnière, jusqu'à une position d'assemblage ;
  • le verrouillage de la rotation d'une demi-coque par rapport à l'autre.
The invention also relates to a method of assembling the housing of an electronic payment terminal, composed of two half-shells, characterized in that it comprises:
  • a step of assembling complementary hinge elements provided on said two half-shells;
  • pivoting one half-shell relative to the other, around said hinge, to an assembly position;
  • locking the rotation of one half-shell relative to the other.

Un tel procédé de montage permet un assemblage simple, sur et efficace du boitier.Such a mounting method allows a simple assembly on and effective case.

5. Description d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention5. Description of an embodiment of the invention

Le principe général de l'invention consiste à assembler les deux demi-coques formant le boitier du terminal de paiement électronique selon un mouvement en deux temps, un premier temps d'engagement d'éléments formant charnière, prévus à une première extrémité de la demi-coque supérieure et de la demi-coque inférieure, et un second temps d'assemblage de la demi-coque supérieure et de la demi-coque inférieure par rotation autour de ces éléments formant charnière.The general principle of the invention is to assemble the two half-shells forming the housing of the electronic payment terminal in a two-step movement, a first engagement time of hinge elements, provided at a first end of the half upper shell and the lower half-shell, and a second assembly time of the upper half-shell and the lower half-shell by rotation around these hinge elements.

La figure 1 représente un terminal de paiement électronique 1 qui comprend notamment un clavier 11, un écran 12 et un lecteur de carte à puce 13 permettant l'utilisation d'une carte de paiement. Ces différents composants, ainsi que des composants électroniquement visibles, sont regroupés dans un boitier 10 qui est lui-même composé d'une demi-coque supérieure 2 assemblée sur une demi-coque inférieure 3.The figure 1 represents an electronic payment terminal 1 which comprises in particular a keyboard 11, a screen 12 and a smart card reader 13 allowing the use of a payment card. These various components, as well as electronically visible components, are grouped together in a box 10 which is itself composed of an upper half-shell 2 assembled on a lower half-shell 3.

La figure 2 représente le terminal électronique de paiement 1 dont le boitier 10 est démonté. La demi-coque supérieure 2 et la demi-coque inférieure 3 sont ainsi séparées, ce qui permet d'accéder aux composants électroniques internes.Figure 2 shows the electronic payment terminal 1 whose housing 10 is disassembled. The upper half-shell 2 and the lower half-shell 3 are thus separated, which allows access to the internal electronic components.

Pour permettre l'assemblage de la demi-coque inférieure 3 et de la demi-coque supérieure 2 dans des conditions satisfaisantes de sécurité, des éléments complémentaires formant charnière sont prévus à une première extrémité 31 de la coque inférieure 3 et à une première extrémité 21 de la coque supérieure 2. Par ailleurs, des éléments de verrouillage sont prévus à une seconde extrémité 32, opposée à la première extrémité 31, de la coque inférieure 3 et à la seconde extrémité 22, opposée à la première extrémité 21, de la coque supérieure 2.To allow assembly of the lower half-shell 3 and the upper half-shell 2 under satisfactory safety conditions, complementary hinge elements are provided at a first end 31 of the lower shell 3 and at a first end 21. of the upper shell 2. Furthermore, locking elements are provided at a second end 32, opposite the first end 31, of the lower shell 3 and the second end 22, opposite the first end 21, of the hull. superior 2.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent respectivement la première extrémité 31 de la coque inférieure 3 et la première extrémité 21 de la coque supérieure 2. Comme le montrent ces figures, la première extrémité 31 de la coque inférieure 3 présente une paroi d'extrémité portant, sur sa surface externe, une série de languettes, ou tenons 32. La première extrémité 21 de la coque supérieure 2 présente également une paroi d'extrémité qui présente, sur sa surface interne, une série de rainures 22, formant des orifices de réception particuliers, adaptés pour recevoir les tenons 32.The Figures 3 and 4 show respectively the first end 31 of the lower shell 3 and the first end 21 of the upper shell 2. As shown in these figures, the first end 31 of the lower shell 3 has an end wall carrying, on its outer surface, a series of tongues, or tenons 32. The first end 21 of the upper shell 2 also has an end wall which has, on its inner surface, a series of grooves 22, forming particular receiving orifices adapted to receive the hold 32.

La figure 5 représente, en vue de coupe, la première extrémité 21 de la demi-coque supérieure et la première extrémité 31 de la demi-coque inférieure. Comme le montre cette figure, chacune des languettes 32 est prévue pour s'insérer dans une rainure 22 correspondante. L'ensemble des languettes 32 et des rainures 22 peuvent ainsi former une charnière entre la demi-coque supérieure 2 et la demi-coque inférieure 3. Les formes respectives des tenons 32 et des rainures 22 sont en effet choisies pour permettre une rotation d'une demi-coque par rapport à l'autre, autour d'un axe correspondant à la direction longitudinale des tenons, quand les tenons 32 sont insérés dans les rainures 22.The figure 5 represents, in sectional view, the first end 21 of the upper half-shell and the first end 31 of the lower half-shell. As shown in this figure, each of the tongues 32 is provided to fit into a corresponding groove 22. The set of tongues 32 and grooves 22 can thus form a hinge between the upper half-shell 2 and the lower half-shell 3. The respective shapes of the tenons 32 and grooves 22 are indeed chosen to allow a rotation of a half-shell relative to the other, about an axis corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the tenons, when the tenons 32 are inserted into the grooves 22.

Les bords latéraux de la demi-coque supérieure 2 présentent par ailleurs, à proximité de la première extrémité 21 de cette demi-coque, des butées 23, qui sont prévues pour coopérer avec des portions de butées 33 prévues sur les bords latéraux de la demi-coque inférieure 3. Ces butées coopèrent entre elles pour ne permettre l'insertion des languettes 32 dans les rainures 22, ou le retrait des languettes 32 des rainures 22, que quand les demi-coques supérieure 2 et inférieure 3 forment entre elles un angle suffisamment grand. Une fois les languettes 32 introduites dans les rainures 22, il est possible de faire varier cet angle par rotation autour de la charnière formée par les languettes et les rainures. Cette rotation est représentée par la flèche 9 de la figure 5.The lateral edges of the upper half-shell 2 also have, near the first end 21 of this half-shell, abutments 23, which are provided to cooperate with abutment portions 33 provided on the lateral edges of the half-shell. 3. These abutments cooperate with each other to allow insertion of the tongues 32 into the grooves 22, or the removal of the tongues 32 from the grooves 22, only when the upper and lower half-shells 3 form an angle between them. big enough. Once the tabs 32 introduced into the grooves 22, it is possible to vary this angle by rotation around the hinge formed by the tongues and grooves. This rotation is represented by the arrow 9 of the figure 5 .

Quand cette rotation entraîne une diminution de l'angle entre la demi-coque supérieure et la demi-coque inférieure, et à fortiori quand les demi-coques inférieure et supérieure sont ramenées l'une contre l'autre, ces butées 23 et 33 coopèrent pour empêcher les languettes 32 de sortir des rainures 22. Ainsi, quand les deux demi-coques du boitier 10 sont assemblées, il est nécessaire, pour désassembler leurs premières extrémités respectives, de faire pivoter l'une des demi-coques par rapport à l'autre, d'un angle suffisant. Tout mouvement de translation entre les demi-coques supérieure 2 et inférieure 3 est bloqué.When this rotation causes a decrease in the angle between the upper half-shell and the lower half-shell, and even more so when the lower and upper half-shells are brought against each other, these stops 23 and 33 cooperate. to prevent the tongues 32 from coming out of the grooves 22. Thus, when the two half-shells of the housing 10 are assembled, it is necessary, to disassemble their respective first ends, to rotate one of the half-shells relative to the other, by a sufficient angle. Any translational movement between the upper and lower half-shells 3 is blocked.

Pour l'assemblage des deux demi-coques, il est donc nécessaire, après avoir assemblé les éléments formant charnière, de venir emboîter la demi-coque supérieure et la demi-coque inférieure par un mouvement de rotation, de façon à fermer le boîtier 10. La figure 7 représente la seconde extrémité 22 de la demi-coque supérieure 2 et la seconde extrémité 32 de la demi-coque inférieure 3. Ces secondes extrémités sont opposées aux premières extrémités des demi-coques. Comme le représente la figure 7, la demi-coque supérieure 2 porte, au niveau de sa seconde extrémité 22, un anneau de verrouillage 24, et la demi-coque inférieure 3 porte, au niveau de sa seconde extrémité 32, un anneau de verrouillage 34. Quand les deux demi-coques se superposent en s'emboîtant l'une sur l'autre, ces deux anneaux de verrouillage se superposent l'un à l'autre, de façon concentrique.For the assembly of the two half-shells, it is therefore necessary, after assembling the hinge elements, to come and fit the upper half-shell and the lower half-shell by a rotational movement, so as to close the housing 10 . The figure 7 represents the second end 22 of the upper half-shell 2 and the second end 32 of the lower half-shell 3. These second ends are opposite the first ends of the half-shells. As represented by figure 7 , the upper half-shell 2 carries, at its second end 22, a locking ring 24, and the lower half-shell 3 carries, at its second end 32, a locking ring 34. When the two half -coques are superimposed by nesting one on the other, these two locking rings are superimposed on one another, concentrically.

L'ouverture cylindrique formée par ces anneaux s'étend selon un axe dirigé sensiblement vers la charnière formée au niveau des premières extrémités de la demi-coque supérieure et de la demi-coque inférieure. En conséquence, l'introduction d'une cheville 4 dans cette ouverture cylindrique permet, en maintenant les deux anneaux 24 et 34 concentriques, de bloquer la rotation d'une demi-coque par rapport à l'autre, autour de la charnière formée au niveau des premières extrémités de ces demi-coques. Le verrouillage de la position de cette unique cheville 4 permet alors de verrouiller efficacement la fermeture du boîtier constituée par les demi-coques 2 et 3.The cylindrical opening formed by these rings extends along an axis directed substantially towards the hinge formed at the first ends of the upper half-shell and the lower half-shell. Consequently, the introduction of an anchor 4 in this cylindrical opening makes it possible, by holding the two rings 24 and 34 concentric, to block the rotation of one half-shell relative to the other, around the hinge formed in the level of the first ends of these half-shells. Locking the position of this single pin 4 then effectively locks the closure of the housing constituted by the half-shells 2 and 3.

Ainsi, si une personne souhaite altérer le fonctionnement du terminal, il doit, pour accéder aux composants internes, débloquer le mouvement de rotation. De plus, pour accéder aux composants situés à proximité de la charnière formée au niveau de la première extrémité des demi-coques, il est nécessaire de réaliser un grand déplacement angulaire d'une des demi-coques par rapport à l'autre.Thus, if a person wishes to alter the operation of the terminal, he must, to access the internal components, unlock the rotational movement. In addition, to access the components located near the hinge formed at the first end of the half-shells, it is necessary to make a large angular displacement of one of the half-shells relative to the other.

En conséquence, selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, les composants sensibles du terminal sont regroupés à proximité de cette première extrémité. Ainsi, ces composants sont regroupés dans une enceinte située à proximité du lecteur de carte à mémoire, dont la forme d'introduction de carte à puce est située au niveau de la première extrémité de la demi-coque supérieure. L'accès à ces composants sensibles situé à proximité de l'axe de rotation nécessite donc un angle d'ouverture important. Un tel angle d'ouverture peut facilement être détecté par un dispositif approprié, capable de déclencher la mise hors fonction du terminal.Consequently, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sensitive components of the terminal are grouped close to this first end. Thus, these components are grouped in an enclosure located near the memory card reader, the chip card introduction form is located at the first end of the upper half-shell. Access to these sensitive components located near the axis of rotation therefore requires a large opening angle. Such an opening angle can easily be detected by an appropriate device, capable of triggering the shutdown of the terminal.

La cheville 4 qui est introduite dans les deux anneaux 24 et 34 afin de verrouiller l'assemblage du boîtier présente une ouverture axiale 41 permettant l'introduction d'une vis 5. Cette vis 5 permet la fixation de la cheville 4 au boîtier 10.The pin 4 which is inserted into the two rings 24 and 34 to lock the assembly of the housing has an axial opening 41 allowing the introduction of a screw 5. This screw 5 allows the fixing of the pin 4 to the housing 10.

Un lamage 42 est également prévu dans la cheville 4, de façon à permet l'introduction d'un scellé, ou sceau de contrôle 6 au-dessus de la surface plane de la tête de la vis 5. Ce sceau de contrôle 6, qui permet d'attester que l'intégrité du terminal n'a pas été violée, peut par exemple être constitué en plomb et être introduit par frappage dans le lamage 42. Lors du frappage, le plomb du sceau 6 peut s'introduire dans une rainure interne 420 prévue dans le lamage 42, ce qui assure son maintien efficace dans le lamage 42. Il est ainsi impossible, sans détruire ce sceau, de dévisser la vis 5 et en conséquence de retirer la cheville 4 maintenant assemblé les deux demi-coques formant le boîtier 10.A counterbore 42 is also provided in the pin 4, so as to allow the introduction of a seal, or control seal 6 above the flat surface of the head of the screw 5. This control seal 6, which allows to attest that the integrity of the terminal has not been violated, may for example be made of lead and be introduced by striking in the countersink 42. During the striking, the lead of the seal 6 can be introduced into a groove internal 420 provided in the countersink 42, which ensures its effective maintenance in the countersink 42. It is thus impossible, without destroying this seal, to unscrew the screw 5 and consequently to remove the pin 4 now assembled the two half-shells forming the housing 10.

Pour faciliter l'insertion du sceau 6 par frappage dans le lamage 42, la demi-coque inférieure 3 présente une forme offrant une surface d'appui 34, dans l'alignement de l'axe de la cheville 4, sensiblement perpendiculaire à cet axe, et à proximité de cette cheville. Cette surface d'appui 34 permet d'appuyer le boitier 10 sur une enclume adaptée pour réaliser le frappage du scellé 6 sans risquer de détériorer le terminal.To facilitate the insertion of the seal 6 by striking in the counterbore 42, the lower half-shell 3 has a shape providing a bearing surface 34, in alignment with the axis of the pin 4, substantially perpendicular to this axis , and close to this ankle. This bearing surface 34 supports the housing 10 on an anvil adapted to perform the hitting of the seal 6 without the risk of damaging the terminal.

Dans le mode de réalisation présenté ci-dessus, le verrouillage du boitier est assuré par la cheville 4 de section circulaire introduite dans les ouvertures circulaires des éléments de paroi des demi-coques, qui forment les anneaux de verrouillage. Il est cependant à noter que l'homme du métier peut prévoir dans les éléments de paroi des deux demi-coques des ouvertures de forme différente (par exemple des ouvertures carrées), dans lesquelles est introduite une cheville de forme adaptée (par exemple de section carrée.In the embodiment presented above, the locking of the housing is provided by the pin 4 of circular section introduced into the openings of the wall elements of the half-shells, which form the locking rings. It should however be noted that those skilled in the art can provide in the wall elements of the two half-shells openings of different shape (for example square openings), into which is introduced a dowel of adapted shape (for example of section square.
