Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a financial transaction machine system, and more particularly to a value-added machine (A d d e d V a 1 u e M a c h i n e, A V M) system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Added Value Machine (AVM) is a newly developed financial transaction tool following Automated Teller Machine (ATM). At present, most of the value-added machines are leased to banks by ticket companies, and the banks choose appropriate geographical locations for users to conduct financial transactions. Usually the ticket company is equipped with a server called π value-added machine monitoring system π, which is responsible for contacting the value-added machine through the network. In addition to the installation of a server in the bank, which is responsible for communicating with the server of the VAT monitoring system through the network, the host computer in the bank also directly communicates with the VAT through the network. The above-mentioned network connection method may include a wired network or a wireless network, but currently mainly uses a wired network. In addition, the current communication protocol used by the value-added machine to connect with the bank computer host mainly uses the system network architecture (SNA) communication protocol developed by the well-known American computer manufacturer-IB Computer Corporation. As for the current connection between the Voucher and the server of the Voucher monitoring system of the ticket company, the main

530247 五、發明說明（2) 要係採用習知的傳輸控制/網路通訊協定（T r a n s m i s s i〇η Control Protocol/Internet Protocol? TCP/IP)。如此一來，若加值機之租金給付係採用拆帳方式，則銀行與票證公司將可依據加值機傳過來的交易結果，計算出日後雙方之個別拆帳金額。當使用者過網路，與上控糸統之伺服的交易資格資剩餘金額等等目與金額等等及票證公司中腦主機則將交機，以完成使值機因為任意斷（亦即離線操作加值機以進行金融交易時，加值機將透述銀行電腦主機以及票證公司中的加值機監器互傳訊息（例如：加值機將使用者所提供料（例如金融卡卡號、金融卡密碼、金融卡 )、交易要求資料（例如提款、存款、購物項 )或交易結果，傳送給上述銀行電腦主機以的加值機監控系統之司服器，而上述銀行電易資格與父易要求審核結果，傳送給加值用者所要求的金融交易之作業。當然，若加原因導致與銀行以及票證公司之間的連線中 )，則加值機之金融交易功能將被停止。目前加值機之系統設計由於並未採取模組化結構，故除了系統維護相當不易之外，系統在進行整合測試時所需花費的時間甚長，而且系統開發或系統運作時若需進行除錯（D e b u g )，其難易度亦相當高。又，在目前加值機之系統設計中，由於係將全域變數宣告於系統程式中的某處，故容易造成系統除錯困難以及變數維護不易等問題。此530247 V. Description of the invention (2) The conventional transmission control / network communication protocol (Tr n s m i s s i〇η Control Protocol / Internet Protocol? TCP / IP) shall be adopted. In this way, if the value-added machine's rent payment is by means of account separation, the bank and the ticket company will be able to calculate the future individual account separation amounts based on the transaction results transmitted by the value-added machine. When the user goes over the network, the remaining amount of transaction qualification funds, etc. of the servo control system of the above control system, etc., and the mainframe of the ticket company will be handed over to complete the check-in because of any interruption (that is, offline) When operating the value-added machine for financial transactions, the value-added machine will disclose the mutual information of the bank computer host and the value-added machine monitor in the ticket company (for example: the value-added machine will provide the materials provided by the user (such as the financial card number, Financial card password, financial card), transaction request data (such as withdrawals, deposits, shopping items) or transaction results, sent to the above-mentioned bank computer host to the value-added machine monitoring system server, and the bank e-commerce qualifications and Father Easy requires the results of the audit to be transmitted to the financial transaction operations required by the value-added users. Of course, if the reasons for the addition result in the connection with the bank and the ticket company), the financial transaction function of the value-added machine will be stopped The current value-added system design does not adopt a modular structure, so in addition to the relatively difficult system maintenance, the system takes a long time to perform integration testing Moreover, if system development or system operation requires debugging (D ebug), the difficulty is quite high. Moreover, in the current system design of value-added machines, because global variables are declared somewhere in the system program, Therefore, it is easy to cause problems such as difficult system debugging and variable maintenance.

Description of the invention (6) Contains the use of transmission control / network communication protocols. The core module, the first data transceiver module, the second data transceiver module, and the device management module can be developed using V 1 s u a 1 C + + software. The data in the magnetic card or chip card includes the card number and the remaining amount. Detailed description of the invention: The features of the value-added machine system proposed by the present invention are mainly as follows: (1) Import global variables into the database: The declaration of global variables has a very important position in program design. Previous designs have declared them in In a certain part of the program, each program reads or writes, which easily causes problems such as difficult maintenance of variables and difficulty in system debugging. The present invention puts the global variables used in the database. While the system is running, the built-in tools in the database can be used to know the value of the current variable, and the variable can be changed immediately. Mistakes are quite helpful and cannot be found in traditional inventions. In addition to the variable value in the database field, a description field can also be added to greatly improve the readability of the variable, saving a lot of man-hours for the production of future documents. (2) The conditional database is used as the control center of the entire transaction process: Most of the traditional invention processes use the Tab 1 e method and define Tab 1 e in the program, so it will not only cause the program to be low in readability and maintain fairly. Not easy

第11頁 530247 五、發明說明（7) 問題，而且每次要修改流程均要重新再編譯一次，所費之工時甚鉅且危險性高。而本發明係將所有交易均導入條件式資料庫，經由其判斷來決定下一步驟為何，修改交易流程並不需修改原始程式碼，亦不需重新再編譯一次，安全性高且可讀性亦高，可讓使用者在最快的時間内經由條件式貧料庫的父易流程’了解整個貧料流的流向。 (3 )採模組化結構設計：本發明之加值機系統採用模組化結構設計’各模組相互獨立’並將其編譯成一個可執行檔，各自處理自己份内的事務，任二模組之間的資料交換介面均明確地訂定，使各模組可自行測試，再配合一些相關測試程式，使各模組在整合測試時，所費的時間降至最低。各模組間資料訊息的交換係由一個核心（Kerne 1 )模組來負責，故各模組間資料訊息的交換均係透過此核心模組來傳送，若有資料不對或資料未送出等介面問題，則經由此核心模組所顯示出來的訊息，彳艮快地就能界定出問題之所在，故省時、省工且除錯較容易。 (4 )各模組間之連接採用傳輸控制/網路通訊協定 (Transmission Control Protoco 1 / I nternet Protocol， TCP/IP): TCP/I P為目前最普及的通訊協定，將各執行檔經由TCP/ IP來交換資料，使所有的執行檔不一定要在同一台電腦上執行，在系統開發初期對多人要同時除錯各自的程式時，有很大的幫助，可將系統分散在多台由TCP/ I P網Page 11 530247 V. Description of the invention (7) The problem, and each time the process is modified, it must be recompiled again, which costs a lot of time and is dangerous. The present invention introduces all transactions into a conditional database, and uses its judgment to determine the next step. Modifying the transaction process does not require modifying the original code, and does not require recompiling. It is highly secure and readable. It is also high, allowing users to understand the flow of the entire lean stream in the fastest time through the parent-friendly process of the conditional lean bank. (3) Modular structure design: The value-added machine system of the present invention adopts a modular structure design 'each module is independent of each other' and compiles it into an executable file, each of which handles its own affairs. The data exchange interface between the modules is clearly defined so that each module can test on its own, and cooperate with some related test programs to minimize the time spent by each module in the integration test. A core (Kerne 1) module is responsible for the exchange of data messages between modules. Therefore, the exchange of data messages between modules is transmitted through this core module. If there is any data error or data is not sent out, the interface Problems, the message displayed by this core module can quickly identify the problem, so it is easier to save time, labor and debug. (4) The connection between each module adopts Transmission Control Protoco 1 / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP): TCP / IP is the most popular communication protocol at present, and each execution file is transmitted via TCP / IP to exchange data, so that all the execution files do not have to be executed on the same computer. In the early stage of system development, it is very helpful for multiple people to debug their own programs at the same time. TCP / IP network
