Description

ROULEAU DE PAPIER POUR REÇU PAPER ROLL FOR RECEIPT
La présente invention se rapporte à un terminal de point de vente, par exemple une caisse de sortie de supermarché, ou à un terminal en self-service, par exemple un guichet automatique de banque, une borne de point de vente, par exemple une caisse de parking, un péage d'autoroute, une borne de vente de tickets et billets de train ou d'avion, etc. ainsi qu'à un rouleau ou paravent de papier d'impression, pour un terminal de point de vente ou terminal en self-service de ce genre.The present invention relates to a point of sale terminal, for example a supermarket checkout counter, or to a self-service terminal, for example an automatic teller machine, a point of sale terminal, for example a cash register parking lot, motorway toll booth, ticket terminal for train or plane tickets, etc. as well as a roll or screen of printing paper, for a point of sale terminal or self-service terminal of this kind.
Un terminal de point de vente ou en self service, tel qu'un guichet automatique de banque ou distributeur automatique comporte généralement un clavier permettant une interface avec l'utilisateur, un moyen de commande sous la forme d'un processeur permettant de gérer l'ensemble d'une transaction donnée, et des moyens d'impression sous la commande du processeur pour imprimer un reçu final de transaction, sur lequel sont imprimées des informations concernant la transaction qui a été réalisée. Un problème majeur qui se pose dans des guichets ou terminaux en self-service de ce genre est que l'utilisateur a tendance à jeter son reçu à proximité immédiate du distributeur. A la fin de la journée, le sol en est jonché, ce qui donne une mauvaise image de la société propriétaire du distributeur et est contraire à la préservation de l'environnement.A point of sale or self-service terminal, such as an automatic teller machine or automatic teller machine generally includes a keyboard allowing an interface with the user, a control means in the form of a processor making it possible to manage the set of a given transaction, and printing means under the control of the processor for printing a final transaction receipt, on which are printed information relating to the transaction which has been carried out. A major problem which arises in self-service kiosks or terminals of this kind is that the user tends to throw his receipt in the immediate vicinity of the distributor. At the end of the day, the ground is strewn with it, which gives a bad image of the company owning the distributor and is contrary to the preservation of the environment.
La présente invention vise à mettre à disposition un terminal de point de vente ou un terminal en self service qui est plus écologique que ceux de l'art antérieur, et en particulier un terminal où les gens qui l'utilisent ont moins tendance à jeter leur reçu à proximité immédiate de celui-ci. US-A-4817969 décrit un guichet automatique de banque (GAB ou ATM) dans lequel le rouleau de papier comporte d'un côté une face sur laquelle sont imprimés des données relatives à une transaction et de l'autre une face pré-imprimée avec des billets de loterie à gratter. Il y est prévu un système de rouleaux d'impression compliqué pour éviter un glissement, lors de l'impression des données de transaction, liée à la présence d'encre à gratter. En outre, les deux faces étant imprimées, il est nécessaire de prévoir du papier de grande épaisseur pour que des capteurs photoélectriques, qui déterminent l'action du couteau réalisant la séparation de chaque reçu et sensibles à la présence de points noirs déterminés à l'avance, ne soient pas induits en erreur par des points apparaissant par transparence.The present invention aims to provide a point of sale terminal or a self-service terminal which is more ecological than those of the prior art, and in particular a terminal where people who use it are less likely to throw their received in the immediate vicinity of it. US-A-4817969 describes an automatic teller machine (ATM or ATM) in which the paper roll has on one side one side on which data relating to a transaction are printed and on the other side a pre-printed side with scratch lottery tickets. There is a system of complicated printing rollers to prevent slipping, when printing transaction data, related to the presence of ink to to scratch. In addition, the two sides being printed, it is necessary to provide very thick paper for photoelectric sensors, which determine the action of the knife effecting the separation of each receipt and sensitive to the presence of black spots determined on the advance, are not mislead by points appearing by transparency.
La présente invention vise un système permettant la mise en oeuvre d'une loterie, comme suivant US-A-4 217 969, mais qui cependant est simple à mettre en oeuvre, et notamment sans que des glissements n'aient lieu lors de l'impression des reçus. En outre, on doit pouvoir organiser une loterie sans avoir à prévoir l'utilisation d'un papier trop épais, qui sinon entraînerait des blocages inacceptables et sans que pour autant l'utilisation de papier peu épais n'entraîne des problèmes de déclenchement par les capteurs photoélectriques du couteau de découpe des tickets ou reçus par transparence. Suivant un premier aspect de l'invention, celle-ci vise un rouleau ou paravent de papier pour un terminal de point de vente ou un terminal en self service, notamment un guichet automatique de banque, comportant un processeur, des'moyens d'impression et une bobine de déroulement pour un rouleau ou un paravent de papier, le processeur commandant le dispositif d'impression pour qu'il imprime sur le papier qui est déroulé de la bobine de papier un reçu pour l'utilisateur, concernant la transaction qui vient d'être effectuée, le rouleau ou paravent de papier étant constitué d'un ruban de papier, le ruban de papier étant divisé en une pluralité de zones successives de longueur sensiblement égale à une longueur d'un reçu concernant une transaction, chaque zone de la pluralité de zones successives comportant respectivement au moins une première région et une deuxième région, la première région étant sensiblement vierge dans lequel chaque deuxième région est soit vierge, soit recouverte d'une couche d'encre, cette couche d'encre pouvant être de forme choisie parmi une ou plusieurs formes données à l'avance, les deuxièmes régions n'étant pas toutes identiques les unes aux autres, caractérisé en ce que les premières et deuxièmes régions sont sur la même face du ruban, et le papier est du papier dit thermique.The present invention relates to a system allowing the implementation of a lottery, as according to US-A-4 217 969, but which however is simple to implement, and in particular without slipping taking place during the printing receipts. In addition, we must be able to organize a lottery without having to plan for the use of excessively thick paper, which would otherwise cause unacceptable blockages and without, however, the use of thin paper causing triggering problems by the photoelectric sensors of the ticket cutter or receipt knife by transparency. According to a first aspect of the invention, it relates to a roll or screen of paper for a point of sale terminal or a self-service terminal, in particular an automatic bank machine, comprising a processor, printing means. and an unwinding reel for a roll or paper screen, the processor controlling the printing device so that it prints on the paper which is unwound from the reel of paper a receipt for the user, concerning the transaction which comes to be performed, the paper roll or screen consisting of a paper tape, the paper tape being divided into a plurality of successive areas of length substantially equal to a length of a receipt for a transaction, each area of the plurality of successive zones respectively comprising at least a first region and a second region, the first region being substantially blank in which each second region is either blank, is covered with a layer of ink, this layer of ink possibly having a shape chosen from one or more shapes given in advance, the second regions not all being identical to each other, characterized in that the first and second regions are on the same side of the ribbon, and the paper is called thermal paper.
On peut dans les deuxièmes régions de chaque reçu imprimer à l'avance une couche d'encre pour indiquer à l'utilisateur qui vient d'effectuer une transaction et qui récupère son reçu sur lequel sont imprimées dans la première région vierge des informations concernant cette transaction, qu'il a par exemple gagné à une loterie, soit également ne rien imprimer dans le cas d'une deuxième région vierge (pas de gain), soit lui indiquer qu'il n'a pas de gain pour le reçu en question. Ainsi, l'utilisateur non seulement récupère un reçu concernant sa transaction (première région), mais également une sorte de billet de loterie(deuxième région) sur lequel il a une probabilité de gagner quelque chose. Dans le cas en particulier où les inscriptions ne permettent pas de savoir, lorsque l'on sait lire, si l'on a gagné, par exemple lorsqu'il y a seulement un numéro affiché et qu'il faut aller à la banque pour connaître le numéro gagnant, l'utilisateur va conserver son reçu et ne le jettera pas à proximité du guichet automatique.In the second regions of each receipt, it is possible to print an ink layer in advance to indicate to the user who has just completed a transaction and who is recovering his receipt on which information relating to this is printed in the first blank region. transaction he has for example, won a lottery, or also do not print anything in the case of a second virgin region (no gain), or indicate to him that he has no gain for the receipt in question. Thus, the user not only collects a receipt for his transaction (first region), but also a kind of lottery ticket (second region) on which he has a probability of winning something. In the particular case where the registrations do not make it possible to know, when one can read, if one has won, for example when there is only one number displayed and it is necessary to go to the bank to find out the winning number, the user will keep his receipt and will not throw it near the ATM.
Dans le cas où l'inscription permet de lire immédiatement si l'on a gagné, les personnes ne sachant pas lire (les enfants, etc.), les personnes à capacité visuelle réduite, les étrangers ne connaissant pas la langue dans laquelle est écrit le résultat du tirage et les gagnants ne jetteront pas non plus leur reçu, diminuant ainsi fortement le nombre de reçus jetés à proximité du guichet automatique.In the case where registration allows you to read immediately if you have won, people who cannot read (children, etc.), people with reduced visual ability, foreigners who do not know the language in which it is written. neither will the result of the draw and the winners throw away their receipts, greatly reducing the number of receipts thrown near the ATM.
L'impression des tickets ou reçus se faisant par l'intermédiaire d'une tête thermique, il n'y a plus de glissement possible. En outre, comme on imprime le ticket de loterie et les données de la transaction sur la même face, il n'y a plus d'erreur de lecture par les capteurs photoélectriques de commande du couteau due à une lecture par transparence.The printing of tickets or receipts being done via a thermal head, there is no more sliding possible. Furthermore, since the lottery ticket and the transaction data are printed on the same side, there is no longer any reading error by the photoelectric sensors for controlling the knife due to a reading by transparency.
Suivant un mode de réalisation particulièrement efficace et écologique, la deuxième région est au moins en partie recouverte d'une encre à gratter. On obtient ainsi en plus, un terminal dans lequel l'utilisateur a tendance à vouloir conserver son reçu plutôt que de le jeter comme c'est le cas actuellement, pour savoir s'il a gagné. En effet, il peut soit gratter immédiatement pour voir s'il a gagné, soit garder ce ticket plus longtemps pour gratter ultérieurement par exemple lorsqu'il aura à disposition de quoi se nettoyer les doigts sachant que gratter de l'encre à gratter a un effet salissant. Ainsi, l'utilisateur va avoir tendance à conserver son ticket sur lui plutôt que de le jeter de manière désordonnée à côté du guichet automatique. En outre, l'organisation et la mise en oeuvre d'une loterie par l'organisme propriétaire du terminal sont particulièrement simplifiées par rapport à l'art antérieur, ne nécessitant quasiment pas de matériel supplémentaire.According to a particularly efficient and ecological embodiment, the second region is at least partly covered with a scratch-off ink. There is thus also obtained a terminal in which the user tends to want to keep his receipt rather than throwing it away as is currently the case, to find out if he has won. Indeed, he can either scratch immediately to see if he has won, or keep this ticket longer to scratch later, for example when he has enough to clean his fingers knowing that scratching ink to scratch has a messy effect. Thus, the user will tend to keep his ticket on him rather than throwing it in a disorderly manner next to the ATM. In addition, the organization and implementation of a lottery by the body owning the terminal is particularly simplified compared to the prior art, requiring almost no additional equipment.
Suivant un mode de réalisation particulièrement efficace d'un point de vue de la conservation du rouleau ou du paravent, il est prévu une couche de vernis entre la deuxième région et la couche d'encre à gratter.According to a particularly effective embodiment of a from the point of view of the conservation of the roller or the screen, there is provided a layer of varnish between the second region and the layer of ink to be scraped off.
Ainsi, la couche d'encre à gratter est bien maintenue sur le papier et ne se disperse pas au cours du temps. Suivant la présente invention on entend par des premières régions sensiblement vierges des régions soit vierges soit sur lesquelles est apposé un fond, par un exemple un logo, n'empêchant pas d'y apposer dessus des informations concernant la transaction discernables par l'utilisateur. Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le rouleau de papier a une épaisseur comprise entre 50 g/m2 et 100 g/m2, de préférence entre 55 et 80 g/m2.Thus, the ink scratch layer is well maintained on the paper and does not disperse over time. According to the present invention, by first substantially blank regions is meant regions either blank or on which a background is affixed, for example a logo, which does not prevent affixing thereto information concerning the transaction discernible by the user. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the paper roll has a thickness of between 50 g / m 2 and 100 g / m 2 , preferably between 55 and 80 g / m 2 .
Dans le cas d'une caisse enregistreuse ou un terminal de point de vente, le papier a de préférence un poids compris entre 55 g/m2 et 80 g/m2. Dans le cas d'un GAB, le poids du papier est compris entre de préférence 60 g/m2 et 90 g/m2.In the case of a cash register or point of sale terminal, the paper preferably has a weight of between 55 g / m 2 and 80 g / m 2 . In the case of an ATM, the weight of the paper is preferably between 60 g / m 2 and 90 g / m 2 .
De préférence, l'encre à gratter et le vernis sont des encres et vernis, imprimables en offset humide, Offset UV, typographies hélio, flexo et sérigraphie de base solvants, acqueuses pouvant contenir des particules métalliques ainsi que des monomères ou polymères.Preferably, the scratch-off ink and the varnish are inks and varnishes, printable in wet offset, UV offset, rotogravure typography, flexo and serigraphy of base solvents, aqueous acquires which may contain metallic particles as well as monomers or polymers.
La présente invention se rapporte également à un terminal en self service comportant un processeur, une bobine de papier et des moyens d'impression, le processeur commandant les moyens d'impression pour imprimer sur le papier des informations concernant une transaction effectuée, caractérisé en ce qu'il est prévu également des moyens de tirage au sort qui sélectionnent de manière aléatoire ou pseudo-aléatoire, des inscriptions données parmi une ou plusieurs inscriptions données en vue de leur impression en plus des informations concernant la transaction effectuée.The present invention also relates to a self-service terminal comprising a processor, a paper reel and printing means, the processor controlling the printing means for printing on paper information relating to a transaction carried out, characterized in that that means are also provided for drawing lots which randomly or pseudo-randomly select inscriptions given from one or more registrations given for printing in addition to information concerning the transaction carried out.
Suivant ce système, le rouleau ou paravent (ensemble de fiches disposées en succession en forme d'accordéon et qui peuvent être séparées les unes des autres par exemple par déchirure suivant des lignes de déchirure préférentielle) de papier n'a pas besoin d'être imprimé à l'avance concernant les gains éventuels de la loterie, l'impression et le tirage au sort se faisant chaque fois au moment de la transaction même. Des modes de réalisation de l'invention sont maintenant décrits à titre d'exemple en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels : la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un rouleau de papier à utiliser dans un guichet automatique de banque suivant l'invention.According to this system, the roll or screen (set of sheets arranged in succession in the form of an accordion and which can be separated from each other for example by tearing along preferential tear lines) of paper does not need to be printed in advance concerning the possible lottery winnings, printing and drawing lots being done each time at the time of the transaction itself. Embodiments of the invention are now described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a paper roll for use in an automatic teller machine according to the invention.
La figure 2 est une vue de côté de la partie déroulée du rouleau de la figure 1. La figure 3 est un schéma synoptique d'un guichet automatique de banque suivant un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 2 is a side view of the unwound part of the roll of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a block diagram of an automatic teller machine according to another embodiment of the invention.
La figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un guichet automatique de banque comportant un rouleau suivant la figure 1.FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an automatic bank machine comprising a roller according to FIG. 1.
A la figure 1 , il est représenté un rouleau de papier ayant un ruban 1 oblong de papier enroulé autour d'une bobine. Une face du ruban 1 de papier est divisée en des zones successives ayant chacune une première région 2 et une deuxième région 3. La longueur des zones successives, comportant chacune une première région et une deuxième région, qui se répètent, est identique. Elle correspond à la longueur d'un reçu standard fourni à un utilisateur, par exemple d'un guichet automatique de banque.In Figure 1, there is shown a paper roll having an oblong ribbon 1 of paper wrapped around a spool. One side of the ribbon 1 of paper is divided into successive zones, each having a first region 2 and a second region 3. The length of the successive zones, each comprising a first region and a second region, which are repeated, is identical. It corresponds to the length of a standard receipt provided to a user, for example from an ATM.
A la figure 1 , on a délimité les régions par des lignes en pointillés. Cependant ces lignes en pointillées servent uniquement à une meilleure compréhension de la présente description et ne sont pas nécessaires dans la réalité. Sur la deuxième région, on peut prévoir comme à la figure 1 , une région vierge c'est-à-dire sans aucune inscription. Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, on peut prévoir un motif qui se répète de manière régulière sur une partie ou sur l'ensemble de toutes les premières régions de ce genre, par exemple un logo publicitaire ou un slogan publicitaire. Ce ou ces logos permettent cependant l'impression de données concernant la transaction effectuée sans gêner leur lecture par l'utilisateur.In Figure 1, the regions are delimited by dotted lines. However, these dotted lines serve only for a better understanding of the present description and are not necessary in reality. On the second region, one can provide as in Figure 1, a virgin region that is to say without any registration. According to another embodiment, one can provide a pattern which is repeated regularly on part or all of all the first regions of this kind, for example an advertising logo or an advertising slogan. This or these logos allow however the printing of data concerning the transaction carried out without hindering their reading by the user.
Toutes les premières régions 2 de la bobine de papier sont identiques les unes aux autres. Les deuxièmes régions sont soit vierges, (dans un autre mode de réalisation, on peut également prévoir une inscription telle que "Désolé cette fois-ci vous n'avez pas gagné" plutôt que de laisser la deuxième région vierge dans le cas où le ticket ou reçu (une zone donnée) n'est pas gagnant), soit recouvertes d'une inscription choisie parmi plusieurs inscriptions données. Ici, les inscriptions possibles sont "vous avez gagné 20 euros", "vous avez gagné 30 euros" et "Désolé pas de gain cette fois-ci". De préférence, le choix entre le fait de ne pas mettre d'inscription ou le fait de mettre une inscription ou une autre, est effectué à l'avance par un tirage aléatoire par le fabricant du rouleau. On peut également tout simplement les disposer une fois tous les N reçus, par exemple une fois tous les 300 ou 400 en fonction du montant total que l'établissement bancaire souhaite accorder en lot. De préférence, le tirage est effectué de manière aléatoire sachant qu'il faut cependant qu'il y ait un gagnant tous les 400 ou 500 tirages, par exemple, il s'agit alors d'un tirage pseudo-aléatoire.All the first regions 2 of the paper reel are identical to each other. The second regions are either blank, (in another embodiment, we can also provide an inscription such as "Sorry this time you did not win" rather than leaving the second region blank in the case where the ticket or received (a given area) is not a winner), or covered with an entry chosen from among several given entries. Here, the possible registrations are "you won 20 euros", "you won 30 euros" and "Sorry no gain this time". Preferably, the choice between not registering or placing one or another registration is made in advance by a draw random by the manufacturer of the roller. They can also simply be disposed of once every N received, for example once every 300 or 400 depending on the total amount that the banking establishment wishes to grant in batch. Preferably, the draw is made randomly knowing that there must however be a winner every 400 or 500 draws, for example, it is then a pseudo-random draw.
Chacune des deuxièmes régions 3 est recouverte, de manière à cacher les inscriptions concernant le résultat de la loterie, d'une couche 15 d'encre à gratter, par exemple de forme rectangulaire ou carrée. Entre une deuxième région 3 et sa couche 15 d'encre à gratter respective, on peut prévoir une couche 16 intermédiaire de vernis.Each of the second regions 3 is covered, so as to hide the inscriptions concerning the result of the lottery, with a layer 15 of scratch-off ink, for example of rectangular or square shape. Between a second region 3 and its respective layer 15 of scratch-off ink, an intermediate layer 16 of varnish can be provided.
Les encres et vernis sont des encres et vernis imprimables en offset humide, Offset UV, typographies hélio, flexo et sérigraphie de base solvants, acqueuses pouvant contenir des particules métalliques ainsi que des monomères ou polymères.The inks and varnishes are inks and varnishes printable in wet offset, UV Offset, rotogravure typography, flexo and serigraphy of base solvents, aqueous acquires which can contain metallic particles as well as monomers or polymers.
A la figure 2, est représenté un schéma synoptique d'un guichet automatique de banque. Le guichet automatique de banque est constitué d'un processeur 5 ou* UC (Unité Centrale) qui est relié à des moyens d'impression 6, à un écran 7, et à un clavier 10. En outre, les moyens d'impression 6 coopèrent avec une bobine 9 de déroulement de papier. Il est également prévu des moyens 8 de tirage au sort sous la commande de l'UC (Unité Centrale).In Figure 2, there is shown a block diagram of an automatic teller machine. The automatic teller machine consists of a processor 5 or * UC (Central Unit) which is connected to printing means 6, to a screen 7, and to a keyboard 10. In addition, the printing means 6 cooperate with a paper unwinding reel 9. Means 8 are also provided for drawing lots under the control of the CPU (Central Unit).
Chaque fois qu'un utilisateur effectue une transaction, un reçu est imprimé. La CPU 5 commande l'impression du reçu en envoyant aux moyens d'impression 6 les données (par exemple numéro du compte, montant prélevé, date, etc) concernant la transaction se rapportant au reçu qui est en train d'être imprimé. En outre, la CPU 5 commande aux moyens 8 de tirage au sort d'effectuer un tirage au sort et les données reçues en retour par la CPU de ces moyens 8 de tirage au sort (par des liaisons de données classiques bien connues dans le domaine et qui ne sont pas représentées) sont envoyées aux moyens d'impression 6 pour être imprimées en même temps que les données de la transaction. Avant leur impression, elles peuvent être traduites sous une forme plus compréhensible par le client. C'est-à-dire, en général le tirage est effectué sous la forme d'un tirage d'un numéro, qui doit ensuite être comparé dans un comparateur aux numéros gagnants. Si le comparateur (non représenté et bien connu dans le domaine) indique un gain, il émet alors un signal par exemple sous la forme "Vous avez gagné 20 euros", s'il indique une perte, on peut ne rien indiquer ou indiquer par exemple "Désolé, pas de gain cette fois-ci. La prochaine fois peut-être !". C'est ce dernier signal qui est imprimé de préférence par les moyens d'impression.Each time a user completes a transaction, a receipt is printed. The CPU 5 controls the printing of the receipt by sending the printing means 6 the data (for example account number, amount withdrawn, date, etc.) concerning the transaction relating to the receipt which is being printed. In addition, the CPU 5 commands the draw means 8 to carry out a draw and the data received in return by the CPU of these draw means 8 (by conventional data links well known in the field and which are not shown) are sent to the printing means 6 to be printed at the same time as the transaction data. Before they are printed, they can be translated into a form that the customer can understand. That is to say, in general the drawing is carried out in the form of a drawing of a number, which must then be compared in a comparator with the winning numbers. If the comparator (not shown and well known in the field) indicates a gain, it then emits a signal for example in the form "You have won 20 euros", if it indicates a loss, we can indicate nothing or indicate for example "Sorry, no gain this time. The next time may to be !". It is this latter signal which is preferably printed by the printing means.
