JP-A-5-195669 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-254090

  The housing size of the wall-embedded terminal device and the opening size of the partition wall need to match each other. However, terminal apparatuses have different housing sizes depending on manufacturers and models. For this reason, for example, when a replacement occurs and the case size of the existing machine before the replacement is different from that of the newly installed machine, it is necessary to construct a partition wall. Specifically, when the casing size of the newly installed machine is larger than the conventional machine before replacement, the opening of the partition wall is widened. When the case size was smaller than that of the conventional machine, it was necessary to construct a partition wall such as inserting a spacer. Thereby, it led to the cost increase concerning replacement of a terminal device. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of partition wall construction due to the difference in the housing size by replacing the housing of the terminal device with a shape that fits a plurality of opening sizes in advance.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is configured such that the housing of the terminal device is large (high / wide) on the customer operation surface side (machine room side) so that it can be adapted to a plurality of opening sizes of the partition wall. ) Is made smaller (lower / narrower) stepwise.

  The present invention assumes a plurality of booth opening sizes in advance and makes the casing shape of the terminal device stepped so that the partition wall can be constructed even when the casing size and the booth opening size are different before and after the replacement. Can be eliminated, and the introduction cost by replacement can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, a wall-embedded terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described using an example of an automatic contract machine with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a booth in which an automatic contract machine is installed. FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing the positional relationship between the automatic contract machine and the opening according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram of the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing a state after installation of the automatic contract machine according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a side sectional view showing a state after installation of the automatic contract machine according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a plan view showing an automatic contract machine and a method for fixing a partition wall according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a front view showing an appearance after the automatic contract machine according to the embodiment of the present invention is installed. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part of drawing, and description is not repeated.

  In the automatic contract machine, even if the manufacturer is different, the device width is common as 570 mm, but there are two types of device heights of 1200 mm and 1350 mm. The difference in the height of the device is the difference between using a scanner or a document camera to capture identity verification documents presented by the user. When using a scanner, the automatic contractor must be low in height. Can do. On the other hand, the document camera requires a space between the camera and the document, so the device is tall. However, the user can place a document for capturing data while looking at the monitor, making the device a user-friendly device. be able to. In addition, since the personal identification document is not taken into the automatic contract machine, it has user friendliness that does not give the user anxiety. On the other hand, an image cannot be displayed on a scanner-type automatic contract machine unless scanning is completed. Further, the operation of the lid of the flatbed scanner is complicated. An automatic contract machine using a scanner equipped with an auto feeder makes the customer feel uneasy that the identification document will not be returned.

  Since automatic contract machines are operated by the general public, customer operability is important. For this reason, in recent years, the replacement (replacement) of the scanner type with a low apparatus height to the document camera type with a high apparatus height is progressing.

  Corresponding to this, the shape of the upper part of the housing is not a single horizontal plate, but a step shape, and two types of surfaces having different heights are provided. In this case, the back side as viewed from the operation surface is set to a height of 1200 mm, and the operation surface side where the document camera is arranged inside is set to a height of 1350 mm. By adopting this case shape, if the case size of the conventional machine before replacement is 570 mm wide and 1200 mm high, and the opening is adapted to this case size, the partition wall is positioned at 1200 mm on the lower surface of the upper case. Install together. Similarly, when the conventional machine is 1350 mm, the partition wall is installed at the position of 1350 mm on the upper surface of the housing.

  The booth where the automatic contract machine is installed is shown in FIG. The booth of the automatic contract machine is covered with an outer wall 6 having a guest room entrance 4 and a machine room entrance 5 with the customer operation face side as the guest room 2 and the machine operation face side as the machine room 3 with the partition wall 1 as a boundary. . In this embodiment, assuming that the scanner type automatic contracting machine is updated to the document camera type automatic contracting machine, the opening 8 of the partition wall 1 into which the automatic contracting machine is inserted has a width of 580 mm and a height from the floor 7. It was set to 1220 mm.

The positional relationship between the partition wall 1 of the opening 8 and the automatic contract machine 100 is shown in FIG. The configuration of the automatic contract machine 100 includes a document camera 11 that captures and inputs image information of a certificate set on a document table 16 inside the housing 10, a speaker 12 that outputs guidance sound, and a guidance image. Touch panel / LCD (input / display unit) 13 for performing output and screen input, a person camera 14 for acquiring a person's face image, and a document collection mechanism for taking a certificate set on the document table 16 from the back side of the apparatus 17. In addition, a handset 15 for carrying out a conversation with an operator (person in charge of reception) is attached to the housing 10. The upper part of the case 10 on the customer operation side is referred to as a front panel 10d. Moreover, the machine room 3 insertion surface of the housing | casing 10 is called the rear panel 10e. A display unit (LCD) 13 and a handset 15 are attached to the front panel 10d. A document collection mechanism 17 is provided on the rear panel 10 e side inside the housing 10.
The height of the document table 16 is 700 mm from the floor 7, which is the same as a standard table used for sitting, and the distance between the document table 16 and the lens tip of the document camera 11 is 550 mm. Therefore, the document camera 11 is disposed within a range of 1250 mm to 1350 mm from the floor surface.

  The casing 10 of the automatic contract machine 100 has a stepped upper part of the casing and two types of surfaces having different heights so as to be adapted to two types of opening sizes. The lower surface portion on the back side of the apparatus has a surface of the upper portion of the housing 10a having a height of 1200 mm from the floor 7, and the high surface portion on the front surface side of the apparatus has a surface of the upper portion of the housing 10c having a height of 1350 mm from the floor 7. In this case, there are three reasons why the 1350 mm side of the upper surface of the housing 10c is the front side of the apparatus (the cabin side). First, in the consumer finance industry, booths and automatic contract machines have become smaller due to reduced installation costs, and the space in the machine room has become narrower. Thereby, when installing an automatic contract machine, it is for inserting from a guest room side. Moreover, when installing in the partition wall 1 of the opening part 8, if it is set as the positional relationship used as an installation place by pressing the housing | casing upper part 10b surface against the partition wall 1 of the upper part of the opening part 8, an automatic contract with the partition wall 1 is carried out. The machine 100 can be easily aligned. Secondly, since the automatic contract machine 100 uses the document photographing method by the document camera 11, a distance of 550 mm is required to photograph the entire A4 size equivalent document set in the document table 16. Because it becomes. In addition, the front panel 10d side on which the document camera 11 is arranged has many units mounted such as the speaker 12, the touch panel / LCD 13, the person camera 14, the handset 15, and the like, so that the space can be used effectively. Thirdly, since the machine room for the first reason is narrowed, a maintenance area in the machine room cannot be secured, so that it is inevitably considered to be a front maintenance type apparatus. In consideration of maintainability, the wider the front side of the apparatus is, the better the maintainability of collecting the document collected by the document collecting mechanism 17, removing the jam of the document, and replacing / adjusting each mounted unit.

Further, by increasing the front surface of the apparatus, the touch panel / LCD 13 can be enlarged, and a plurality of monitors can be provided.
In the present embodiment, the front surface of the apparatus is formed perpendicular to the table, but may be appropriately tilted. Further, a touch panel / LCD 13 or the like may be incorporated in the table. Further, the handset 15 or the like may be placed on a table.

  Next, the communication operation between the automatic contract machine and the host will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, a customer sits in front of an automatic contract machine, and operates according to an instruction of the automatic contract machine. On the other hand, the host-side terminal is operated by the person in charge of reception and performs identity verification, examination, and the like. Unless there is an erroneous operation or a request from the customer, there is no need for the reception staff to speak to the customer, so the customer can conclude a contract with a non-face-to-face consciousness.

  When the customer presses a procedure start button on the customer standby screen displayed on the touch panel / LCD 13 of FIG. 2, communication between the automatic contract machine 100 and a host device (not shown) is started. The confirmation of the start of communication returns from the host device to the automatic contracting machine 100, and the customer's face captured by the person camera 14 is displayed on a host-side terminal (not shown). At the same time, a screen for taking in the application form is displayed on the touch panel / LCD 13. The customer places the completed application form (also used by the credit information organization) on the document table 16 from the opening of the housing 10. In this state, the application form for the document table is displayed on the touch panel / LCD 13. The customer can check by himself / herself that there is no error in the front, back, orientation, position, etc. by looking at this display. When the customer presses a capture button displayed on the touch panel / LCD 13, the document camera 11 switches from photographing to application scan and transmits application data to the host terminal.

The receptionist who operates the host-side terminal confirms the application form data, and sends a confirmation signal to the automatic contract machine 100 if there is no problem. Upon receiving the confirmation signal, the automatic contract machine 100 operates the document collection mechanism 17 and takes in the application form. Thereafter, the automatic contracting machine 100 displays a screen for fetching the personal identification document on the touch panel / LCD 13. The customer places an identity verification document (such as a car license) on the document table 16 and presses the import button displayed on the touch panel / LCD 13 so that the document camera 11 scans the identity verification document and sends it to the host terminal. Send confirmation data. The person in charge of the reception compares the photograph of the license with the face of the customer captured by the person camera 14 as necessary, and after confirming the identity, sends a confirmation signal to the automatic contracting machine 100. (If there is no face photo like a health insurance card, the customer's face image captured by the person camera is saved.)
Receiving the confirmation signal, the automatic contracting machine 100 displays that the identification document may be returned. After the identity verification document on the document table 16 is removed by the customer, the examination items for credit are sequentially displayed on the LCD 13 and the input is accepted from the touch panel 13. Upon completion of inputting all examination items, the person in charge of the examination conducts examination such as inquiry to the credit information agency. As a result of the examination, if the loan is possible, the loan condition together with the examination result is transmitted from the host side terminal to the automatic contract machine 100 and displayed on the LCD 13. The customer presses the confirmation button displayed on the LCD 13 if the displayed loan conditions are acceptable. The host device that has received the confirmation button press sends a contract issuance instruction to the automatic contract machine 100. The automatic contract machine 100 prints a contract by a printing unit (not shown), and requests the customer to enter an address name and the like. The customer puts the contract whose address and name etc. are completed on the document table 16 and presses the import button displayed on the touch panel / LCD 13 so that the document camera 11 scans the signed contract, and the host side Send signed contract data to the terminal. The person in charge of reception confirms the signed contract data, and sends a contract copy and contract card issuance instruction to the automatic contract machine 100.

  The automatic contract machine 100 that has received the instruction to issue the contract and issue the contract card operates the document collection mechanism 17, takes in the signed contract, prints the contract, and withdraws the card at a withdrawal card issuing unit (not shown). Issue. The automatic contract machine 100 confirms that the customer has received the contract document receipt and the withdrawal card, and sends a receipt confirmation signal to the host device. The host device that has received the receipt confirmation signal transmits an end instruction to the automatic contract machine 100 and disconnects communication. The automatic contract machine 100 having received the termination instruction returns the display to the customer standby screen.

  The above is the procedure of the automatic contract, but voice guidance is performed using the speaker 12 in synchronization with the screen display. In the above automatic contract procedure, the customer operation of the automatic contract machine 100 is guided only by the screen display and the voice guidance from the automatic contract machine 100, so the customer is aware of the person in charge of reception who operates the host side terminal. You can conclude a contract without face-to-face. In addition, we use a document camera that can be imported as data in the presence of important identification documents for customers such as driver's licenses, health insurance cards, and passports. can do. In addition, since the customer can self-check the front, back, orientation, and position of the document before importing the data, it is possible to prevent disadvantages for customers who want non-face-to-face, such as the intervention of a receptionist to resend the data. It is also possible to do.

  When the customer picks up the handset 15 or presses a call button that is always displayed on the touch panel / LCD 13, it is natural that the handset 15 can be used to interact with the receptionist.

FIG. 4 shows the positional relationship in the booth after installation of the apparatus in which the automatic contract machine 100 is inserted in the direction of arrow A in FIG. By making the upper part of the casing of the automatic contracting machine 10 into a step shape, when the opening 8 is 1220 mm, the partition wall 1 can be installed on the casing 10a surface and the casing 10b surface without sacrificing beauty.
Similarly, FIG. 5 shows a positional relationship after installation of the apparatus in which the automatic contracting machine 100 is inserted into the partition wall 1 having the opening 8 of 1370 mm. When the opening 8 is 1370 mm, the partition wall 1 can be installed on the surface of the housing 10c without damaging the beauty.

FIG. 6 shows a method of fixing the automatic contracting machine 100 and the partition wall 1 having the opening 8 of 1220 mm. The part of the partition wall where the automatic contract machine 100 and the partition wall 1 are fitted is L-shaped, and the L-shaped part also has a hole on the side surface of the housing shown in FIG. , And fix a total of four locations, two on each of the left and right sides, using bolts 20, nuts 21 and the like. Since the partition wall 1 has a different positional relationship with the automatic contract machine 100 at any one of the opening 8 shown in FIG. 4 and the opening 8 shown in FIG. Booth mounting holes 18 and 19 are provided so that the partition wall can be fixed. The booth mounting hole processing parts 18 and 19 are parts that have been subjected to lower processing so that the casing 10 can be punched out by a tool such as a driver by press processing, and a hole is formed at the time of fixing. Therefore, even if it is installed on a partition wall having a height of 1220 mm, the booth mounting hole machining portion 19 is not recognized as a hole on the side surface of the automatic contract machine 100.
The movement prevention of the automatic contract machine 100 is not limited to bolting and fixing to the partition wall 1. For example, an anchor bolt may be driven into the floor 7 and fixed to the floor 7, or a caster (not shown) may be disabled. Thus, it is sufficient to lift the automatic contract machine 100 with a plurality of bolts.

  When the automatic contracting machine 100 is cooled by providing the air suction port 22 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, it is necessary to set the partition wall 1 at a position where the partition wall 1 is not blocked. For this reason, it arrange | positions back rather than the partition wall position for 1200 mm of opening parts. In this embodiment, the rear side surface is used, but the rear surface, upper surface, lower surface, and front surface of the device at a position where the partition wall is not blocked may be used. It should be noted that the same consideration is required for an air outlet (not shown).

  A front view of the booth after installing the automatic contract machine 100 is shown in FIG. By making the ceiling portion of the casing 10 of the automatic contract machine 100 into a stepped shape on the operation surface side, it is installed without impairing the appearance viewed from the front regardless of the height of the opening 8.

  In this embodiment, it has been described that the upper part of the housing is stepped and can be adapted to two types of booths having different opening heights. However, the opening of the partition wall 1 is approximately 1200 mm in the height direction. Can be adapted to an opening size of approximately 1400 mm.

  According to this embodiment, there is an effect that an automatic contract machine equipped with a document camera that is kind to the operating customer can be installed in a booth with a low opening height that is not for mounting the document camera. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to provide a method of installing the automatic contract machine without impairing its beauty by preventing the automatic contracting machine from moving at the insertion position corresponding to the height of the opening.

  In the present embodiment, the height of the housing is low on the back side (rear panel side) and high on the front side (front panel side) when viewed from the operation surface, but the width of the housing is narrowed on the back side, It is obvious from the description of the present specification that even if the front side is widened, the opening width of the plurality of partition walls can be accommodated.
