Filed:

May 19, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/081306

Inventors:

Jeffery L. Hill - Mundelein IL
Gregory L. Hill - Lake Zurich IL

Assignee:

Dynetics Engineering Corporation, Inc. - Lincolnshire IL

International Classification:

G06K 710

US Classification:

235475, 235380

Abstract:

A smart card verification insertion system ( ) for inserting smart cards ( ) into corresponding carriers ( ) only after verifying the card data read with a mag stripe reader ( ), an embossed character reader ( ), an IC chip reader ( ), and a first bar code reader ( ) and a back bar code reader ( ) and data encoded on the printed carrier read with a carrier reader ( ) correspond to one another and also correspond to account data stored in a smart card account data memory ( ). If it is determined that the card has been incorrectly prepared, an incorrect card reject mechanism ( ) is actuated by a verification controller ( ) in response to the mismatch. Similarly, if the data read by the carrier reader ( ) does not match the data read from the card or retrieved from the smart card account data memory ( ), a mismatch card reject mechanism ( ) is actuated.

US Classification:

235448, 235449, 235435

Abstract:

An embossed card package production system with a computer controller ( ) for accessing embossed card information in a card data memory ( ) and embosser ( ) for embossing a card ( ) with the stored embossed information and an embossed card verification system with an embossed card character reader ( ) for reading embossed information ( ) on the card with the computer controller comparing the read embossed information on the card ( ) with the stored embossed information for the card in the card data memory ( ) to determine if there is a match and automatically identifies each card which has embossed information on the card which does not match the stored information on the card to reject each card identified as being incorrectly produced.

Abstract:

A card package production system ( ) for producing card packages ( ) composed of printed paper carriers ( ) with matching cards ( ) attached to the carriers ( ) selectively outputs the card packages through a card package multi-directional distribution module ( ) having a carrier transport with a primary carrier transport path extending between a package inlet ( ) and a primary package outlet ( ) for transporting the card packages along the primary carrier transport path. A movable stacker gate assembly ( , FIG. ) mounted for movement between a stacking position (FIG. ). In the stacker position, the card packages are inserted laterally through a laterally facing inlet ( ) of a stacker ( ) in two stages with successive pairs of card packages ( â) being kept in an interleaved state.

Abstract:

A card package production system () for producing card packages () with cards () mounted to bifold carrier forms () with a pair of parallel, spaced, preweakened fold lines () and () dividing the body () of the carrier forms into leading end (), middle () and lagging end () sections, a card carrier form folding apparatus () having a stop member () located extending downwardly into a blocking position along a folding path (), a plurality of rollers ()() and () for moving the carrier forms () along the folding path () and into the stop member () to buckle the leading end () and middle section () away from the folding path (), a pushing member () driven by an electric motor () engaging the lagging end section () to push the carrier form () along the folding path () to pivotally swing the stop member () to a nonblocking position enabling the middle section () to fall back against the lagging section () folding the carrier () along fold lines () and () a transporting pushing pin member () interconnected with a circulating chain linkage () extending through a slot opening () in the folding path () to turn the folded carrier () about a pivot pin () for ejectment to a folded carrier outlet station ().

International Classification:

G06K 5/00

US Classification:

235380, 235479, 235486

Abstract:

A card package production system () with interchangeable inserters (A, B) and carrier folders (A, B) to enable use of forms (A, B) of different types verifies the carriers () if they are properly produced and rejects them if they are not prior to the attachment to a carrier. The embossed characters and encoding read from the card are compared with the stored card data to verify accuracy and are compared to coding on the carrier form (A, B) to determine if there is a match. A code on the carrier is also compared to stored carrier data and to the cards provided for insertion and are rejected without cards if incorrectly prepared.

In addition, a movable reject gate () located along the primary carrier transport path intermediate the stacker gate assembly () and the primary package outlet () mounted for movement between a reject position in which the card packages are guided by the reject gate () off the primary carrier transport path and into an inlet to a reject bin (), and a non reject position in which packages are allowed to continue past the reject bin () and continue out of the primary carrier outlet ().

Abstract:

A card insertion system (10) and method in which a free standing inserter module (12) for inserting cards into carriers has a carrier inlet (14) at a preselected elevation (14') for selectively, alternatively interfacing with, and receiving carrier forms (15) from, a free standing in-line carrier form printer module (20) with a carrier form outlet (22) at the preselected elevation (22') to feed in-line carrier forms to the printer inlet when the burster module (32) and printer module (20) are positioned in relative cooperate adjacent alignment and in which a free standing burster (32) for separating preprinted continuous carrier form stock into bursted separate carriers with a bursted carrier form outlet (38) at a preselected elevation (38') substantially the same as that of the carrier inlet (14) of the inserter (12) to enable direct insertion of the preprinted forms ejected from the burster outlet (38) into the carrier inlet (14) of the inserter module (12) when the inserter module (12) and printer module (20) are positioned in relative cooperative adjacent alignment.
