Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field The present invention relates to improvement of a CRT for customer guidance installed in an automatic transaction processing device, etc. as a countermeasure for people with low vision.

(b) Summary of the Invention The CRT display device for people with low vision according to the present invention allows people with low vision to see characters, symbols, etc. that are normally displayed in a size sufficient to be recognized by people with normal vision. Sometimes enlarged for display.

(C) Prior Art and Its Disadvantages Today, automatic transaction processing devices such as ATMs and CDs are becoming more and more popular, and people with visual impairments are increasingly using these automatic transaction processing devices. However, in the past, the CRT displays installed in these automatic transaction processing devices used to guide operations were displayed in letters and symbols that were large enough for people with normal vision to discern, making it difficult for people with low vision to see.・The characters, symbols, etc. were too small and it was difficult to understand the displayed contents. On the other hand, if a normal display is displayed in a size large enough for people with low vision to discern, the amount of information that can be displayed on one screen will be limited, and others will be able to see the display of the numeric keypad when pressing the PIN number, the display of the transaction amount, etc. (d) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned current situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a CRT display device for people with low vision that enlarges the display only when used by a person with low vision. shall be.

(e) Structure and effect of the invention This invention provides a recognition means for recognizing that the person viewing the display on the CRT screen is a person with low vision, and a recognition means for recognizing that the person viewing the display on the CRT screen is a person with low vision. When you recognize C
a display enlargement means for displaying the displayed content of the RT screen in a large size;
It is characterized by having the following.

With the above configuration, according to the present invention, the display content is enlarged by the display magnifying means only when the recognition means recognizes a person with low vision, so that the display is easier for the person with low vision to see, compared to a person with normal vision. Because there are no unnecessary enlargements of characters, symbols, etc., you can quickly recognize the displayed content, and
There is no fear of being seen by others.

(f) Embodiment FIG. 2 is an external view of an ATM equipped with a CRT display device, which is an embodiment of the present invention.

On the vertical panel surface of the customer service section of the ATM, there are 19 handling indicators that indicate the handling status, 19 bankbook insertion slots, 3 card insertion slots. A cash/receipt receiving port 4 is provided. The handling display 1 displays ``Processing'' when the transaction is possible, and ``Canceled'' when the transaction cannot be handled. The passbook insertion slot 2 is used for inserting and ejecting a passbook. bank number 2
A card on which a bank account number, a personal identification number, etc. are magnetically recorded is inserted through the card insertion slot 3 and returned. The cash/receipt receiving slot 4 is used for discharging banknotes and statement slips during payment transactions.

On the horizontal panel surface of the customer service department above, there is a CRT for displaying operation guidance.
5 is provided. The CRT 5 displays operation guidance text to guide the customer's operations, function displays of the operation keys 6 and 7, input amount, and other guidance. Keys such as operation keys 6 and 7 and a numeric keypad 8 are arranged around the CRT 5. The operation keys 6.7 are responsible for various functions (selection, confirmation, cancellation, etc. of transaction details) at each stage of operation, and these functions are displayed on the CRT 5 as described above. A banknote deposit/withdrawal port 9 is provided on the left side of the operation key 6 and is comprised of a deposited banknote insertion port and an inserted banknote return port.

FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the above ATV.

The control unit of this ATM uses a mask-slave control system, and each operating unit is controlled by each slave C.
A master CPU (M-CPU) 10 controls the PUs (S-CPU) 13 and 17 to organically operate each operating section, that is, controls the entire device. M-CPU
A ROM II that stores programs and the like and a RAM 12 that stores transaction data and the like are connected to the IQ, and are connected to each of the 5-CPUs via transmission lines. In this schematic block diagram, two 5-CPUs 13 and 17 are shown. 5
- ROMI 5 for CPUI 3. RAMI 6 is connected, and card reader 14 is also connected.

This card reader 14 is a device that reads card data of a magnetic card inserted from the card insertion slot 3, and also reads a low vision flag (described later) in the card data. 5-CP
The UI 3 buffers the card data read by the card reader 14 in the RAM 16 and then sends it to the M-CPU.
Send to IO. 5-CPU17 has ROM1B, RAM1
9 is connected, and a key manual device 20° display device 21 is also connected. The key input device 20 is a device that reads operation inputs from the operation keys 6.7 and numeric keypad 8 by the customer. The display device 21 is a device that displays characters, symbols, etc. on the CRT 5, and the displayed content is the content stored in the V-RAM included in the RAM 19. 5-CPU
During normal display, IT allocates the character pattern data contained in the ROM 18 to the V-RAM based on the characters, symbols, etc. to be displayed, but when expanding the display content for people with low vision, the IT allocates the character pattern data etc. It is enlarged to a predetermined ratio and stored in V-RAM.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a magnetic card used when conducting transactions using the ATM. A magnetic stripe 31 is formed on the surface of the card 30, and a low vision flag 3La is set on a part of the magnetic stripe 31. This card can be used at the above ATM
This card is issued by a financial institution where a bank is installed for a customer who uses an ATM.If the customer has low vision, the low vision flag 31a is set, and if the customer has normal vision, the card is reset. Issue.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control section of the ATM. Step nl (Hereinafter, step ni will be simply referred to as n
It's called i. ), when it is detected that the card has been inserted from the card insertion slot 3, it is determined in n2 whether or not the amblyopia flag in the card data is set. If the amblyopia flag is set, the process proceeds to n3, where the display on the CRT 5 is enlarged and displayed, and transaction processing is performed at n4. If the amblyopia flag is not set, the process proceeds to n5 based on the judgment in n2, where the transaction is processed in the normal display mode (n5) and the operation ends.

The n22 amblyopia flag 31a and the card reader 14 correspond to the recognition means of the present invention, and the n3 corresponds to the display enlargement means of the present invention.

In this way, in this ATM, data indicating that a person with low vision is a person with low vision (low vision flag) is stored in advance on the card used by a person with low vision, and when the card is inserted into the ATM, the display is enlarged for the person with low vision. It has become. Therefore, even people with low vision can easily read the CRT display.
Since ATM operations can be performed quickly, this not only leads to improved services for such customers, but also has the advantage of improving ATV usage efficiency.
