Monitoring device for security in automatic teller machine

Abstract

A monitoring device for security in automatic teller machine, wherein a security monitoring unit and a security data recording unit are robust in structure so that they are not easily destructed. Even if the automatic teller machine itself is stolen and a commercial power source is shut down, the security monitoring unit and the security data recording unit can be operated with a backup power supply unit to wirelessly transmit security information, thereby making it possible to keep track of where the automatic teller machine is located.

         15 . An automatic teller machine comprising: 
 a cash receipt/payment mechanism for receiving and paying cash;    a machine power supply unit for converting a commercial AC voltage applied from a power supply inlet through a power cable to a DC voltage, and supplying the DC voltage to said cash receipt/payment mechanism;    a backup power supply unit for supplying a voltage when the voltage supplied from said machine power supply unit is shut down; and    a security monitoring controller for wirelessly transmitting information for tracking said machine with the voltage supplied from said backup power supply unit.    
     
     
         16 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 15 , further comprising: 
 a security sensing unit for sensing vibrations or heat,    wherein said security monitoring controller confirms whether or not said machine is connected to a security company by determining whether or not there is a response to a transmission when said security monitoring controller receives an output from said security sensing unit.    
     
     
         17 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 16 , wherein: 
 said security monitoring controller transmits the information for tracking said machine through a wire when there is the response, and wirelessly transmits the information for tracking said machine when there is not the response.    
     
     
         18 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 16 , wherein: 
 said security monitoring controller repeats the confirmation until monitoring stop information is received.    
     
     
         19 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 15 , further comprising: 
 a camera for capturing an image of a front side or a back side of said automatic teller machine; and    a microphone for capturing sound,    wherein said security monitoring controller transmits an image captured by said camera and sound captured by said microphone as the information for tracking said machine.    
     
     
         20 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 15 , wherein: 
 said backup power supply unit is included in an integral structure.    
     
     
         21 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 15 , further comprising: 
 a security monitoring release switch for releasing the transmission by said security monitoring controller.    
     
     
         22 . An automatic teller machine comprising: 
 a customer transaction operation unit adapted for a customer to perform operations associated with a transaction;    a card reading mechanism for controlling card reading;    a detail form/journal printing mechanism for controlling printing of a detail form and a journal;    a passbook printing mechanism for controlling printing of a passbook;    a bill receipt/payment mechanism for controlling receipt and payment of a bill; and    a security monitoring controller for wirelessly transmitting information for tracking in the event of a robbery.    
     
     
         23 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 22 , further comprising: 
 a security sensing unit for sensing vibrations or heat,    wherein said security monitoring controller confirms whether or not said machine is connected to a security company by determining whether or not there is a response to a transmission when said security monitoring controller receives an output from said security sensing unit.    
     
     
         24 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 23 , wherein: 
 said security monitoring controller repeats the confirmation until monitoring stop information is received.    
     
     
         25 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 22 , wherein: 
 said security monitoring controller transmits the information for tracking said machine through a wire when there is the response, and wirelessly transmits the information for tracking said machine when there is not the response.    
     
     
         26 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 22 , further comprising: 
 a machine power supply unit for converting a commercial AC voltage applied from a power supply inlet through a power cable to a DC voltage, and supplying the DC voltage to said cash receipt/payment mechanism; and    a backup power supply unit for supplying a voltage when the voltage supplied from said machine power supply unit is shut down.    
     
     
         27 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 26 , wherein: 
 said backup power supply unit is included in an integral structure.    
     
     
         28 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 22 , further comprising: 
 a camera for capturing an image of a front side or a back side of said automatic teller machine; and    a microphone for capturing sound,    wherein said security monitoring controller transmits an image captured by said camera and sound captured by said microphone as the information for tracking said machine.    
     
     
         29 . An automatic teller machine according to  claim 22 , further comprising: 
 a security monitoring release switch for releasing the transmission by said security monitoring controller.
