Abstract

An automatic teller machine includes: a first reading sensor that reads display information displayed on a medium at a predetermined position; and a second reading sensor that reads, from the medium at the predetermined position, storage information stored in the medium. The first reading sensor is disposed above the second reading sensor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An automatic teller machine comprising:
a first reading sensor that reads display information displayed on a medium at a predetermined position; and
a second reading sensor that reads, from the medium at the predetermined position, storage information stored in an integrated circuit of the medium,
wherein the first reading sensor is disposed above the second reading sensor.

2. The automatic teller machine according to claim 1 , wherein the first reading sensor faces the second reading sensor.

3. The automatic teller machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pedestal that supports the medium at the predetermined position and displays a guide indicating the predetermined position.

4. The automatic teller machine according to claim 3 , wherein the second reading sensor is built into the pedestal.

5. The automatic teller machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first reading sensor reads the display information from above the medium at the predetermined position, and
the second reading sensor reads the storage information from below the medium at the predetermined position.

6. The automatic teller machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
determine whether the medium is a normal medium by comparing the display information with the storage information.

7. The automatic teller machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first camera that reads the recording medium at the predetermined position from an imaging direction different from an imaging direction of the first reading sensor;
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
synthesize the display information and the information read by the first camera to generate an image of a surface of the medium.

8. The automatic teller machine according to claim 7 , wherein the first camera images the medium at the predetermined position at the same time as imaging at least one of a card insertion slot and a paper sheet input port.

9. The automatic teller machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a camera that images a user to acquire an image of a face of the user;
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
determine whether the acquired image of the face of the user matches an image of a face included in the display information or the storage information.

10. A terminal device comprising:
a first reading sensor that reads display information displayed on a medium at a predetermined position; and
a second reading sensor that reads, from the medium at the predetermined position, storage information stored in an integrated circuit of the medium,
wherein the first reading sensor is disposed above the second reading sensor.

11. A medium reading method comprising:
reading display information displayed on a medium at a predetermined position, by a first reading sensor; and
reading, from the medium at the predetermined position, storage information stored in an integrated circuit of the medium, by a second reading sensor,
wherein the first reading sensor is disposed above the second reading sensor.
