It is characterized in that means is provided for collating and printing out the signed data on the slip by the printer unit 1-6.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the present invention, the user can input the personal identification number and the signature at the same time by the above means, can input the data of the POS device at one time, and the employee can easily confirm the identity of the card. .

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the POS device main body and the password confirmation device of the present invention. The POS device of the present invention is composed of a POS device main body 1 and a personal identification confirmation device 2. The POS device main body 1 includes a CPU (central processing unit) 1-1, a ROM (read only memory) 1-2, and a RAM (random). Access memory) 1-3, display unit 1-4, wireless control unit 1-5, printer unit 1-6, card reader unit 1-7, and CPU bus 1-8. The personal identification checker 2 includes a CPU (central processing unit) 2-1, a ROM (read only memory) 2-2, a RAM (random access memory) 2-3, a display unit 2-4, and a wireless control unit 2-. 5, an LCD touch input unit 2-6, a numeric keypad input unit 2-7, and a CPU bus 2-8.

The CPU 1-1 of the POS device main body 1 processes the data according to the control procedure stored in the ROM 1-2 and functions as a POS device. The RAM 1-3 stores the data and displays it on the display unit 1-4, and the printer unit 1-6 prints out the data. The card reader unit 1-7 reads a credit card or the like and inputs information data. The wireless control unit 1-5 is for communicating between the POS device main body 1 and the personal identification checking device 2 by a wireless line 3.

The CPU 2-1 of the personal identification checker 2 processes the data according to the control procedure stored in the ROM 2-2. The data is stored in the RAM 2-3, is displayed on the display unit 2-4, and is transmitted to the POS device body 1 through the wireless control unit 2-5. The ten-key portion 2-7 is an input portion for the user to input a personal identification number, and the LCD touch input portion 2-5 is an input portion for the user to input his / her signature by handwriting.

FIG. 2 is an example of an external view of the personal identification checking device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the password identification machine is provided with a display section 2-4, a numeric keypad section 2-7, and an LCD touch input section 2-6 on the surface of a box-shaped case, and internally has a CPU 2-1, a ROM 2-2, and a RAM 2-. 3 and the wireless controller 2-5 are mounted, and the structure is portable and easily portable.

Next, the operation will be described. The employee receives the card from the card user and reads the card at the card reader section 1-7. The user receives the password confirmation device 2 from the employee. The POS device body 1 that has read the card sends a command to the personal identification checking device 2 via the wireless line 3. The command is displayed on the display section 2-4 of the password confirmation machine 2. For example, "Enter your PIN" is displayed. When the user inputs the personal identification number according to the instruction, the data is transmitted to the POS device main body 1 and collated with the data on the card.

When the personal identification numbers match, the next instruction, for example, “please sign” is sent to the personal identification checker 2. The user signs by hand on the LCD touch input unit 2-6. The data is transmitted to the POS device main body 1 and is output as a slip from the printer unit 1-6 as shown in FIG. The operator can confirm that he is who he is by comparing this signature with the signature data of the card.

In the above embodiment, an example of inputting the personal identification number to the personal identification checker 2 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a personal identification number may be input instead of the personal identification number. .

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the following effects are expected. The user can enter the personal identification number and sign at the same time with the portable personal identification device described above, and the employee can easily confirm the identity of the card. It is possible to accelerate the rotation of customers.
