Patent Images
1. A security system for detecting and preventing the unauthorized dismantlement of a transaction terminal comprising, in combination:
- processor means (11) for controlling operation of the terminal (1);
data inputting means (14) for inputting authorization data to said processor means for identifying a person authorized to dismantle the terminal (1);
dismantlement detection means (15) for outputting a detection signal to said processor means (11) for making said terminal (1) inoperable when the terminal (1) is dismantled; and
memory means (13) for storing data on persons authorized to dismantle the terminal, wherein when said processor means (11) determines that the data received through said data inputting means (14) coincides with the data stored in said memory means (13) on the authorized person, said processor (11) interrupts the detection signal allowing dismantlement of the terminal (1) without interrupting normal operations.

Abstract
A firm banking terminal having a data inputting unit, a dismantlement monitor for outputting a detection signal when the terminal body is dismantled, a processor for stopping operation of the terminal when it receives the detection signal, and a memory for storing authorization data allowing dismantlement of the terminal without interrupting normal operations when the data received through the data inputting unit coincides with the authorization data.
