本發明的實施例是利用便利商店的多功能事務機進行掃描、複印、傳真、電子郵件發送及相關的儲值與扣款動作。利用多功能事務機中已經存在的掃描模組,來掃描儲值券來進行儲值的動作,且可以讓使用者利用儲值券的金額來進行掃描、複印、傳真、電子郵件發送的動作,而不需要利用條碼掃描器來進行儲值。 In the embodiment of the present invention, a multifunctional MFP in a convenience store is used to perform scanning, copying, faxing, e-mail sending, and related stored value and charge operations. Use the existing scanning module in the multifunction MFP to scan stored value vouchers to perform stored value operations, and allow users to use the amount of stored value vouchers to perform scanning, copying, faxing, and emailing operations. There is no need to use a barcode scanner for stored value.

圖1顯示依據本發明較佳實施例的儲值系統的示意圖。圖2顯示儲值券的一個例子。如圖1與圖2所示,本實施例的儲值系統1包含一多功能事務機100以及一伺服器200。伺服器200係透過一網路300而信號連接至多功能事務機100。網路300可以是有線網路或無線網路。 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a stored value system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 shows an example of stored value coupons. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the stored value system 1 of this embodiment includes a multi-function business machine 100 and a server 200. The server 200 is signal-connected to the multifunction printer 100 through a network 300. The network 300 may be a wired network or a wireless network.

多功能事務機100可用來擷取一文件的二維影像,並且包含一掃描模組10以及一處理器20。掃描模組10用來掃描一儲值券D1的二維影像,以獲得一儲值券影像信號S1。處理器20電連接至掃描模組10,處理儲值券影像信號S1以獲得一儲值信號S2,更將儲值信號S2輸出至伺服器200中,以供儲值一儲值金額。值得注意的是,上述的掃描模組可以執行平台式掃描或饋送式掃描。 The MFP 100 can be used for capturing a two-dimensional image of a document, and includes a scanning module 10 and a processor 20. The scanning module 10 is configured to scan a two-dimensional image of a stored-value coupon D1 to obtain a stored-value coupon image signal S1. The processor 20 is electrically connected to the scanning module 10, processes the stored-value coupon image signal S1 to obtain a stored-value signal S2, and outputs the stored-value signal S2 to the server 200 for storing a stored-value amount. It is worth noting that the above-mentioned scanning module can perform flatbed scanning or feed scanning.

多功能事務機100除了提供儲值的功能以外,更提供文 件掃描及其相關的功能。因此,掃描模組10可以更用來掃描一文件D2的二維影像,以獲得一文件影像信號S3。處理器20更可處理文件影像信號S3以獲得一文件輸出信號S4。二維影像可以包含選自於由文件D2或儲值券D1的可見光影像及紅外光影像所組成的群組。於一例子中,多功能事務機100的一使用者介面60可以設有一儲值按鈕61,使用者可以置放儲值券後,按下此儲值按鈕61,掃描模組10以紅外光或可見光光源來掃描儲值券,但對此儲值券的掃描結果不執行列印、傳真、電子郵件發送等功能,而是進行儲值券的認證、判斷或儲值等功能。當儲值券上有紅外光影像資訊時,儲值券比較不容易被偽造。因此,在獲得儲值信號S2以前,處理器20更判斷儲值券影像信號S1的有效性,並於判斷儲值券影像信號S1有效時,才產生儲值信號S2。除了判斷儲值券D1的序號的有效性以外,儲值券D1上也可以包含生效時間及失效時間。舉例而言,圖2的儲值券D1是以一維條碼的型式存在,其中區塊D11代表的是識別號碼資訊(可以依據此資訊建立帳號,或尋找帳號),區塊D12代表的是儲值金額資訊,區塊D13代表的是生效時間及失效時間的資訊,區塊D14代表的是發行機構資訊。值得注意的是,上述資訊亦可以用二維條碼的型式提供,或以文字或其他方式提供。 In addition to the function of storing value, the multi-function business machine 100 also provides documentation. File scanning and its related functions. Therefore, the scanning module 10 can be further used to scan a two-dimensional image of a document D2 to obtain a document image signal S3. The processor 20 can further process the document image signal S3 to obtain a document output signal S4. The two-dimensional image may include a group selected from the group consisting of the visible light image and the infrared light image of the document D2 or the stored value coupon D1. In an example, a user interface 60 of the multifunction printer 100 may be provided with a stored value button 61. After the user places a stored value voucher and presses the stored value button 61, the scanning module 10 uses infrared light or Visible light source to scan stored-value coupons, but the scan results of this stored-value coupons do not perform functions such as printing, faxing, e-mail sending, etc., but perform functions such as authentication, judgment, or stored-value coupons. When stored value coupons have infrared light image information, stored value coupons are less likely to be counterfeited. Therefore, before obtaining the stored value signal S2, the processor 20 further determines the validity of the stored value coupon image signal S1, and only generates the stored value signal S2 when it determines that the stored value coupon image signal S1 is valid. In addition to judging the validity of the serial number of the stored-value voucher D1, the stored-value voucher D1 may also include the effective time and the expiration time. For example, the stored value voucher D1 in FIG. 2 exists as a one-dimensional barcode. The block D11 represents the identification number information (you can create an account based on this information or find an account), and the block D12 represents the stored value. Value information, block D13 represents the effective time and expiry time, and block D14 represents the issuer information. It is worth noting that the above information can also be provided in the form of a two-dimensional bar code, or in text or other ways.

處理器20或伺服器200可以依據現在時間以及儲值券影像信號S1的生效時間及失效時間,來判斷儲值券影像信號S1的有效性。利用處理器20判斷有效性的優點是可以透過使用者介面60的顯示螢幕直接反應失效的訊息給使用者。 The processor 20 or the server 200 may determine the validity of the stored-value coupon image signal S1 according to the current time and the effective time and the expiration time of the stored-value coupon image signal S1. The advantage of using the processor 20 to judge validity is that the failure message can be directly reflected to the user through the display screen of the user interface 60.

當使用者要掃描、複印、傳真以及電子郵件發送文件D2時,可以分別按下使用者介面60的掃描按鈕62、複印按鈕63、傳真按鈕64以及電子郵件按鈕65。 When the user wants to scan, copy, fax, and e-mail the file D2, the user can press the scan button 62, copy button 63, fax button 64, and e-mail button 65 of the user interface 60, respectively.

藉此,處理器20更可以計算文件D2的處理費用,並透過一輸入輸出介面70輸出一扣除信號S5至伺服器200中以扣除伺服器200中的儲值金額。處理費用對應至包含掃描、列印、傳真或電子郵件發送的費用。為此,多功能事務機100可更包含電連接至處理器20之一列印模組30、一傳真模組40及一電子郵件發送模組50。列印模組30接收文件輸出信號S4並將文件輸出信號S4列印於媒體上。傳真模組40接收文件輸出信號S4並將文件輸出信號S4進行傳真發送。電子郵件發送模組50接收文件輸出信號S4並將文件輸出信號S4進行電子郵件發送。 With this, the processor 20 can further calculate the processing cost of the file D2 and output a deduction signal S5 to the server 200 through an input / output interface 70 to deduct the stored value amount in the server 200. Processing fees correspond to those that include scanning, printing, faxing, or emailing. To this end, the multifunction printer 100 may further include a printing module 30, a facsimile module 40 and an email sending module 50 electrically connected to the processor 20. The printing module 30 receives the document output signal S4 and prints the document output signal S4 on the medium. The facsimile module 40 receives the document output signal S4 and sends the document output signal S4 by fax. The email sending module 50 receives the file output signal S4 and sends the file output signal S4 by email.

為了保存儲值券的使用記錄,儲值券上可以提供一個簽名欄位,給使用者簽名。於此情況下,儲值券的二維影像可以被傳送到伺服器中儲存。因此,處理器20更將儲值券影像信號S1傳送到伺服器200中儲存,儲值券影像信號S1代表儲值券D1的二維影像。未來在使用有爭議時,可以透過伺服器200中的紀錄來調查。於另一例子中,使用者在購買儲值券時,可以在伺服器中留存簽名記錄。伺服器可以比對兩次簽名是否相符合,來管控儲值券的正常使用。於又另一例子中,使用者可以透過多功能事務機100的使用者介面60進行儲值交易,由多功能事務機100印出儲值券。 In order to maintain the record of the use of stored value coupons, a signed field can be provided on the stored value coupons for users to sign. In this case, the two-dimensional image of the stored value coupon can be transmitted to the server for storage. Therefore, the processor 20 further transmits the stored-value coupon image signal S1 to the server 200 for storage, and the stored-value coupon image signal S1 represents a two-dimensional image of the stored-value coupon D1. In the future, when the use is disputed, it can be investigated through the records in the server 200. In another example, when a user purchases a stored-value coupon, the user may keep a signature record in the server. The server can check whether the two signatures match, to control the normal use of stored value coupons. In yet another example, a user may perform stored-value transactions through the user interface 60 of the multi-function transaction machine 100, and the multi-function transaction machine 100 prints the stored-value voucher.

圖3顯示掃描模組的分區示意圖。如圖3所示,掃描模組10具有局部重疊的一第一區段11及一第二區段12,第一區段11專供掃描儲值券D1用,第二區段12用於掃描文件D2。於一例子中,置放於第一區段11以外的儲值券D1在被掃描後並不具有上述的儲值功能。於另一例子中,第一區段11位於第二區段12的中間區域。因此,多功能事務機100的掃描平台或面板上可以設計有指示第一區段11的 範圍的文字、圖案或標記,以導引使用者執行儲值券的儲值功能。於另一例子中,使用者可以設定第一區段11的範圍。掃描模組10可以被一驅動機構驅動來掃描平台上的文件及儲值券。或者,文件及儲值券可以被自動饋送器饋送通過掃描模組10而受到掃描。 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of partitioning of the scanning module. As shown in FIG. 3, the scanning module 10 has a first section 11 and a second section 12 that partially overlap each other. The first section 11 is exclusively used for scanning the stored value coupon D1, and the second section 12 is used for scanning. File D2. In one example, the stored-value coupon D1 placed outside the first section 11 does not have the above-mentioned stored-value function after being scanned. In another example, the first section 11 is located in a middle region of the second section 12. Therefore, the scanning platform or panel of the multifunction printer 100 may be designed to indicate the first section 11. A range of text, patterns, or marks to guide users in performing the stored-value function of stored-value coupons. In another example, the user can set the range of the first section 11. The scanning module 10 can be driven by a driving mechanism to scan documents and stored value coupons on the platform. Alternatively, documents and stored-value coupons can be scanned by being fed by the auto-feeder through the scanning module 10.

圖4顯示儲值系統的操作流程圖。如圖4所示,伺服器200配合多功能事務機100的信號輸出,執行以下動作。首先,於步驟S01,伺服器200接收儲值信號S2。然後,於步驟S02,伺服器200依據儲值信號S2尋找是否有與儲值信號S2匹配的帳號。若帳號不存在,則伺服器200將建立對應於儲值信號S2的新帳號,並將儲值金額儲值至帳號中,如步驟S04所示。若帳號存在,則將對應於儲值信號S2的儲值金額儲值至帳號中,如步驟S06所示。接著,使用者進行文件掃描及輸出,處理器計算文件的處理費用,並輸出一扣除信號S5至伺服器200中,伺服器200依據儲值信號S2及扣除信號S5,從對應於儲值信號S2的帳號扣除儲值金額。 Figure 4 shows a flowchart of the operation of the stored value system. As shown in FIG. 4, the server 200 executes the following operations in cooperation with the signal output of the multifunction printer 100. First, in step S01, the server 200 receives the stored value signal S2. Then, in step S02, the server 200 searches for whether there is an account number matching the stored value signal S2 according to the stored value signal S2. If the account number does not exist, the server 200 will create a new account number corresponding to the stored value signal S2, and store the stored value amount into the account number, as shown in step S04. If the account exists, the stored value corresponding to the stored value signal S2 is stored in the account, as shown in step S06. Then, the user scans and outputs the document, and the processor calculates the processing fee of the document, and outputs a deduction signal S5 to the server 200. The server 200 uses the stored value signal S2 and the deduction signal S5 to correspond to the stored value signal S2 Account deducted stored value.

當然,也可以判斷此儲值券是否為第一次使用,如步驟S03所示,如果是的話,才執行步驟S06。如果否的話,則查詢帳號及其儲值金額,以供後續扣款使用,如步驟S05所示。接著,使用者進行文件掃描及輸出,處理器計算文件的處理費用,並輸出一扣除信號S5至伺服器200中。因此,伺服器200於第二次收到儲值信號S2時,依據儲值信號S2找尋出對應於儲值信號S2的帳號,並依據扣除信號S5從帳號扣除儲值金額。 Of course, it can also be determined whether the stored-value coupon is used for the first time, as shown in step S03, and if so, step S06 is performed. If not, query the account number and its stored value for subsequent debits, as shown in step S05. Then, the user scans and outputs the document, the processor calculates the processing cost of the document, and outputs a deduction signal S5 to the server 200. Therefore, when the server 200 receives the stored value signal S2 for the second time, the server 200 finds an account number corresponding to the stored value signal S2 and deducts the stored value amount from the account number according to the deduction signal S5.

藉由本發明的上述實施例,可以利用多功能事務機中已經存在的掃描模組,來掃描儲值券以進行儲值的動作,且可以讓使用者利用儲值券的金額來進行掃描、複印、傳真、電子郵件發送的動作,而 不需要利用條碼掃描器來進行儲值。由於便利商店中已經配置有多功能事務機,故可以有效發揮多功能事務機的功能,使用者也可以自行操作進行儲值或扣款的功能,而不需要店員的協助,有效減少店員的負擔,節省人力及物力的需求。 With the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, a scanning module that already exists in a multifunctional MFP can be used to scan stored-value coupons for stored-value actions, and users can use the amount of stored-value coupons to scan and copy , Fax, e-mail, and There is no need to use a barcode scanner for stored value.
