At this time, the alarm lamp 52 provided on the back surface of the automatic teller machine 1 is also blinked. The door sensor 53 detects, for example, the open / closed state of the door provided on the back side of the automatic teller machine 1, and when the door is open, the CPU 30 detects a failure based on the detection result. The alarm is sent to the alarm unit 51 or the alarm lamp 52 for notification.

  The customer screen control unit 34 displays the customer operation screen processed by the CPU 30 on the customer display screen 18. Further, on the back side of the automatic teller machine 1 (FIG. 1), there is provided an attendant display screen 54 of an operation screen operated by an attendant, and the attendant screen control unit 35 uses the operation screen by the CPU 30 for this attendant. This is displayed on the display screen 54.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described together with the operation screen displayed on the customer display screen 18 (FIG. 1). In this operation, the flicker lamps 8a to 12a, 14a, and 16a are appropriately lit or blinked, but the description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the overall operation of this embodiment, which will be described with reference to the previous drawings.

  In this figure, when a customer stands on the front face of the automatic teller machine 1 and is detected by the customer sensor 49 (FIG. 4), the customer screen control unit 34 (FIG. 4) is activated and the customer display screen 18 ( The standby screen 300 shown in FIG. 18 is displayed in FIG. 1) (step 100).

  This standby screen 300 shows a message screen 301 for guiding the insertion of cash or an IC card, a message screen 302 for guiding the insertion of a hitting card, and the progress of the race at each boat race venue and the handling in that situation. A race progress status display screen 303 and an amount display screen 304 are provided. In this race progress status display screen 303, the number of a race in which a voting ticket cannot be purchased, such as a race that has already been completed or a race that is currently being conducted, is indicated by hatching, etc. Displayed in different forms. Here, venues A, B, and C can purchase voting tickets for races after 6 races, and venue D can be purchased for races after 7 races. Further, on the screens to be described later including the standby screen 300, the amount of money stored in the cash inserted from the bill insertion slot 12 and the coin insertion slot 14 or the IC card inserted from the IC card insertion / return slot 16 is the deposit amount. The displayed deposit amount field 305, the refund amount column 306 for displaying the refund amount by the target voting ticket inserted from the voting ticket insertion slot 9, and the purchase amount of the voting ticket by the voting card inserted from the voting card insertion slot 10 Is displayed, and an amount display screen 304 representing a balance column 308 in which a balance (= deposit + refund-purchase amount) remaining in the automatic teller machine 1 is displayed is also provided. In the standby screen 300 displayed first, the amount is 0 in all the amount fields 305 to 308 of the amount display screen 304.

  In the following, the case of purchasing a voting ticket for a race will be described first.

  When cash is inserted from the bill insertion slot 12 and the coin insertion slot 14 (FIG. 1) or an IC card is inserted from the IC card insertion / return slot 16 (FIG. 1) according to the instruction on the standby screen 300 (step of FIG. 5). 101) The stored amount of the cash or IC card is counted by the cash processing units 39 and 40 or the IC card unit 41 (FIG. 4), and the voting card insertion screen 310 shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the customer display screen 18. (Step 102 in FIG. 5).

  In this voting card insertion screen 310, a guidance screen 311 including a message 312 prompting the customer to insert a voting card and an image 313 of the panel unit 2 of the automatic teller machine 1 is displayed. In the panel unit 2 (FIG. 1), In order to guide the place where the voting card is inserted, it corresponds to the area for inserting the voting card in the panel image 313, that is, the ticket insertion / return area 4 including the voting card insertion slot 10 (FIG. 1). The portion 313a is clearly displayed by displaying it in a specific color or blinking.

  As described above, since cash and an IC card were inserted and counted, the result is displayed as a deposit in the deposit amount column 305, and an amount equal to the deposit amount is displayed in the balance column 308 as the balance. The Here, it is assumed that 50,000 yen has been deposited, and therefore the balance is 50,000 yen.

  Until the voting card is inserted, it waits in a state where the voting card insertion screen 310 shown in FIG. 19 is displayed, and the customer inserts and returns the ticket of the panel unit 2 according to the display of the guidance screen 311 on the voting card insertion screen 310. When voting card insertion slot 10 in area 4 is found and a voting card is inserted (step 103 in FIG. 5), voting ticket / mark card reading unit 43 (FIG. 4) reads the contents and confirms the contents. Perform (step 104 in FIG. 5).

  If the settlement button 3 (FIG. 1) is operated in the display state of the voting card insertion screen 310 shown in FIG. 19, the process proceeds to the processing shown in FIG. 7, and the amount equal to the balance in the balance column 308 of the amount display screen 304 is displayed. The cash is counted, and a cash return screen 315 as shown in FIG. 20 is displayed, and the cash is released from the banknote return port 13 and the coin return port 15 of the panel unit 2 (step 130 in FIG. 7). . Alternatively, if an IC card is inserted into the IC card insertion / return slot 6, the IC card is input. The cash return screen 315 has the same model as the voting card insertion screen 310 shown in FIG. 19, but on the guidance screen 316, the message 317 notifies the customer that the balance has been returned. In the image 318 of the part 2, the part 318a corresponding to the area C including the return port is displayed in a specific color or blinked so that the customer can recognize the return more reliably.

  When the customer receives cash or removes the IC card (step 131 in FIG. 7), the process ends, and the display returns to the standby screen 300 shown in FIG. 18 (step 100 in FIG. 5).

As a result of the confirmation of the contents of the voting card in step 104 of FIG. 5, if the read contents are normal and the balance in the balance column 308 is not insufficient with respect to the purchase amount of the voting ticket purchased with this voting card. (No balance shortage), the purchase amount is sent to the voting / operation server 23 (FIG. 3) as described above (step 105 in FIG. 5), and if there is a next voting card (step in FIG. 5) 105a), the same content is determined for the voting card (step 104 in FIG. 5).
(1) If the read content is normal but the balance in the balance column 308 is insufficient, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG.
(2) If the balance in the balance 308 is not short, but there is one error in the read content, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG.
(3) If there is no shortage of the balance in the balance column 308, but there are a plurality of errors in the read content, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG.
(4) Otherwise, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG.
These flowcharts will be described later.

  The voting / operation server 23 determines whether or not the contents of the read voting card and the purchase price information can be registered (step 105 in FIG. 5). If registration is not possible, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG. If registration is possible, the information is sent to the information center 20 (FIG. 3) for registration. Further, the voting / operation server 23 sends a voting ticket issuing instruction to the automatic issuing machine 1.

  Therefore, the CPU 30 displays a purchase betting screen on the customer display screen 18 (step 106 in FIG. 5). As shown in FIG. 21, in this purchase betting screen 320, a voting ticket information screen 321 showing voting ticket information for a voting card appears from the lower side, and scrolls upward as shown by a white arrow. As shown in FIG. 22, when the whole is displayed, it is displayed in a stopped state. In this voting ticket information screen 321, one betting method is designated, and a race venue 321 a, a race number 321 b, a formula-specific 321 c, a designated boat number 321 d, a purchase amount 321 e in this betting ceremony, and this voting ticket The total purchase amount 321f is displayed. Here, the total purchase amount 321f is 3,000 yen. Then, as shown in FIG. 23, it is shown that the total purchase amount f of the voting ticket information screen 321 out of the balance is moved from the balance column 308 of the money amount display screen 304 to the voting ticket information screen 321 by the amount movement mark 322. As a result, the balance (= 50,000 yen) in the balance column 308 is updated to 47,000 yen (= 50,000 to 3,000 yen). Next, as shown in FIG. 24, the voting ticket information screen 321 that has completed the above processing indicates that processing has been completed after hatching, color change, etc., and the voting ticket purchased in the purchase amount column 307 is displayed. The composite number (in this case, one) and the total purchase amount (in this case, 3,000 yen) are displayed.

  Here, as described above, assuming that a plurality of voting cards are inserted together from the voting card insertion slot 10 (FIG. 1), the processing of the first voting ticket is performed as shown in FIG. As described above, a voting ticket information screen 323 for the second voting card appears from the bottom of the voting ticket information screen 321 and scrolls upward as indicated by a white arrow. Then, in the same way as the betting ticket information screen 321, when the processing on the betting ticket information screen 323 is completed, as shown in FIG. 26, the remaining amount in the remaining amount column 308 is equal to the total purchase amount (= 6,000 yen). Subtracted and the processed hatching is applied to the betting ticket information screen 323. At this time, a betting ticket information screen 324 for the third voting card is displayed.

  Here, as is clear from FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the betting ticket of the number specified by the voting card is displayed on the voting ticket information screen. In this case, the display size of the characters indicating the contents of the betting system is equally large regardless of the designated number of betting formulas. For this reason, the voting ticket information screen has a size corresponding to the designated number of betting types. They are different so that customers can easily check the betting style. Further, by reducing the size (width in the scroll direction) of the voting card with a small number of designations, it is possible to slow down the scroll speed, and in this respect as well, it is possible to easily confirm the contents for the customer.

  FIG. 27 shows the purchase betting screen 320 when the processing of the voting ticket information screen 325 for the fifth voting card is completed and the voting ticket information screen 326 for the sixth voting card is displayed. At this time, in the purchase amount column 307, the number of purchases is displayed as 5, and the total purchase amount is displayed as, for example, 22,800 yen. As described above, the balance in the balance column 308 is deposit + refund amount−purchase amount, and at present, it is 50,000 yen-22800 yen = 27200 yen.

  FIG. 28 shows a state when the voting ticket information screen 327 for the sink ballot card is processed, and FIG. 29 shows a state when the voting ticket information screen 328 for the box voting card is processed. The number of purchases in the purchase amount column 307, the total purchase amount, and the balance in the balance column 308 are different for each.

  In the betting ticket information screen displayed as described above, each boat number is displayed in a different color.

  Thus, when the voting card insertion slot 10 (FIG. 1) is inserted into a plurality of voting cards, the voting ticket information screen is displayed on the purchase betting screen 320 for the valid voting cards. By scrolling, the items are displayed in order, and the customer can confirm the voting tickets that can be actually purchased in order.

  On the other hand, the CPU 30 (FIG. 4) always monitors the balance in the balance column 308 on the operation screen displayed on the customer display screen 18 (step 107 in FIG. 5) and is inserted from the voting card insertion slot 10. When all the processing of the voting ticket information screen for the voting card is completed and there is a balance remaining in the balance column 308, a voting card reading completion screen 330 shown in FIG. (Step 108 in FIG. 5). In this voting card reading completion screen 330, the voting ticket information screen is not displayed, for example, an animation image 331 as if a race is being performed is displayed, and the deposit amount is displayed in the deposit amount column 305 and the purchase amount column 307 is displayed. The number of purchases and the total purchase amount are displayed in the balance column 308 as they are.

  The lamp of the checkout button 3 (FIG. 1) is blinking (step 109 in FIG. 5), and a screen prompting pressing is displayed. When the customer operates the checkout button 3 (step 110 in FIG. 5), cash is discharged from the banknote return port 13 and the coin return port 15 (FIG. 1) as change, or an IC card is inserted / returned. It is input to the IC card in the mouth 8. At the same time, the betting ticket is discharged from the betting ticket issuing slot 11 (FIG. 1). When this is received, or when a banknote is received from the banknote return port 13 or an IC card is received from the IC card insertion return port 16 (step 111 in FIG. 5), all the processes are completed, and the process returns to step 100 for standby. The screen 300 (FIG. 18) is displayed. Here, if the proximity sensor is not detected for a certain period of time, the display of the standby screen 300 disappears.

  In step 100, when a new voting card is inserted from the voting card insertion slot 10, the contents of the newly inserted voting card are read, and the above-described operation from step 104 in FIG. 5 is performed. It is.

  Furthermore, when the balance becomes 0 on the voting card reading completion screen 330 shown in FIG. 30, that is, all voting cards have been processed, the total amount in the deposit amount column 305 and the total purchase amount in the purchase amount column 307. When the amount is equal and the balance in the balance column 308 is 0 (step 107 in FIG. 5), the betting ticket is immediately discharged from the betting ticket issuing slot 11, and the customer receives it (step 111 in FIG. 5). The process ends and the process returns to step 100 in FIG.

  Furthermore, when a new voting card is inserted from the voting card insertion slot 10 after the voting card inserted at the beginning is read and before the settlement button 3 is pressed (step 107 in FIG. 5), the newly inserted voting card is inserted. The ticket card is read, and the processing returns to step 104 in FIG. In this case, the processing of the betting ticket information screen starts again from step 106 in FIG. 5, but the processing of the betting ticket information screen is not performed on the already processed betting ticket information screen.

  Furthermore, if cash is inserted from the bill insertion slot 12 or the coin insertion slot 14 before the settlement button 3 is pressed, or a target voting ticket is inserted from the voting ticket insertion slot 9 (step 107 in FIG. 5), FIG. Proceed to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The above is the operation from depositing cash or an IC card in step 101 in FIG. 5 until purchasing a voting ticket. Next, in step 101 in FIG. A specific example of the operation when inserted will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the waiting ballot ticket is inserted from the betting ticket insertion slot 9 (step 101 in FIG. 5) in the display state of the standby screen 300 shown in FIG. 18 (step 100 in FIG. 5), the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the inserted hit ballot ticket is determined by the betting ticket / mark card reading unit 43 (FIG. 4) as described above, and the content is read (step 120). If not, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG. If it can be read, the read content is sent to the information center 20 (FIG. 3) via the voting / operation server 23, and it is confirmed whether it is a correct target vote ticket or if it is a target vote ticket. A refund is calculated (step 121). If it is a hit ballot ticket (winning ticket), a hit betting screen 340 shown in FIG. 31 is displayed on the customer display screen 18 (FIG. 1) based on information from the information center 20. On the target betting screen 340, a target betting ticket information screen 341 showing the contents of the target betting ticket (such as hitting, refund, special payment, other betting methods) 341a and a refund amount 341b is displayed. This refund amount 341b is transferred to the balance column 308 as a balance by the amount transfer mark 342. Here, the balance in the balance column 308 is, for example, 6770 yen, and in the refund amount column 306, although not shown in the drawing, the payout target is one sheet and the refund amount is updated to 6770 yen.

  When a plurality of hit voting tickets are inserted, the above refund process is performed for each hit voting ticket (step 126 in FIG. 6). Then, the process proceeds to step 102 in FIG. 5, and a settlement button pressing screen similar to the voting card insertion screen 310 shown in FIG. 19 is displayed (step 102 in FIG. 5). This state is almost the same as when cash or an IC card balance is inserted in step 101 of FIG. 5, and the total amount of the refund for the hit ballot ticket is displayed in the balance column 308 as the balance.

  In addition, in FIG. 6, when the voting ticket inserted from the voting ticket insertion slot 9 (FIG. 1) is not a hit voting ticket but a detaching ticket (step 121), the detaching ticket return screen 350 shown in FIG. Is displayed, and this voting ticket is discharged from the voting card / voting ticket return port 8 (FIG. 1). On this off-ticket return screen 350, a message screen 352 representing a message 352a prompting the customer to receive this voting ticket appears so as to push up the voting ticket information screen 351 from the lower side. At this time, there is no refund amount, so the balance column There is no change in the balance of 308.

  When the customer receives the voting ticket in accordance with the instruction on the message screen 352 (step 124 in FIG. 6), the display shifts to the removal ticket removal completion screen 360 shown in FIG. 33 (step 125 in FIG. 6). In the missed ticket removal completion screen 360, as shown by the white arrow, the message screen 352 scrolls to the left, and when it disappears, the process moves to the next hit ballot ticket processing (step 126 in FIG. 6).

  In addition, when the above-described hitting ticket refund process is performed, the customer can use this refund money for purchase of the next voting ticket, but can also receive it as cash. In this case, in the display state of the voting card insertion screen 310 shown in FIG. 19 (step 102 in FIG. 5), the settlement button 3 on the panel unit 2 (FIG. 1) may be operated (step 103 in FIG. 5). . In this case, the process proceeds to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 7, when the checkout button 3 is operated, the cash equal to the balance displayed in the balance column of the voting card insertion screen 310 shown in FIG. 19 is counted and discharged from the banknote return slot 13 and the coin return slot 15. In addition, the cash return screen 315 described in FIG. 20 is displayed (step 130 in FIG. 7). When the customer receives this cash (step 131 in FIG. 7), the process ends, the process returns to step 100 in FIG. 5, and the standby screen 300 shown in FIG. 18 is displayed.

  As described above, in FIG. 5, when a voting card is inserted from the voting card insertion slot 10 (step 103), the content of the voting card is read and whether the read content is normal or not is a balance column. It is determined whether or not the balance of 308 is equal to or greater than the purchase amount of the voting ticket purchased with this voting card (step 104). In the following, the operation of this embodiment when at least one of them is incomplete will be described. To do.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the operation when the content of the voting card is normal in step 104 but the balance in the balance column 308 is insufficient.
In the case of such a shortage of balance, the process proceeds from step 104 in FIG.

  In FIG. 8, first, a shortage screen 370 shown in FIG. 34 is displayed on the customer display screen 18 (FIG. 1) for a voting card whose balance is insufficient for voting ticket purchase (step 140). On this shortage balance screen 370, the shortage balance voting ticket information screen 371 in which the voting ticket purchase amount 370a for the voting card for which the voting ticket purchase balance is insufficient, the contents 371b of the voting card, and the like are described is insufficient. A selection screen 373 showing a message 372 that informs the customer that the card is present, a card cancel button 373a for canceling the voting card, and a shortage amount 373b are displayed.

  When the card cancel button 373a is touch-selected on the selection screen 373 (step 141 in FIG. 8), the remaining balance voting ticket information screen 371 is replaced with an inactive display, and the voting card corresponding thereto is the voting card / voting ticket return port 8 ( The voting card returned from FIG. 1) and reading the next content moves to the determination process of step 104 in FIG. 5 (step 105a in FIG. 5).

  When the shortage screen 370 is displayed (step 140 in FIG. 8), the shortage amount is inserted in cash from the bill insertion slot 12 and the coin insertion slot 14 (step 141 in FIG. 8). Counted and compared with the shortage amount 373b on the selection screen 373, and when the amount of inserted cash is equal to or greater than this shortage amount (step 142 in FIG. 8), the data about the contents of the voting card is stored in the information center 20. The process proceeds to step 105 in FIG. 5 registered in (FIG. 3), and the determination process in step 104 in FIG. 5 is performed on the voting card that has read the next content (step 105a in FIG. 5).

  Further, along with the display of the shortage balance screen 370 (step 140 in FIG. 8), a target voting ticket is inserted from the voting ticket insertion slot 9 (FIG. 1), and the shortage amount is compensated with a refund of the target middle ticket. In the case (step 141 in FIG. 8), the process proceeds to step 143 in FIG. In this step 143, when the standby screen 300 shown in FIG. 18 is displayed (step 100 in FIG. 5), the hit voting ticket is inserted from the voting ticket insertion slot 9 (FIG. 1) (FIG. 5). Step 101) is the same as the operation shown in FIG. 6, and is the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. For this reason, this step 143 is represented by the same step as the flowchart of FIG. 6, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As a result of the processing in step 143, when the total amount of refund of the valid hit ballot ticket is equal to or greater than the shortage amount 373b on the selection screen 373 of the remaining shortage screen 370 shown in FIG. 34 (step 142 in FIG. 8), this ballot ticket The process proceeds to step 105 in FIG. 5 where data on the contents of the voting card for which the amount of money for purchase is insufficient is registered in the information center 20 (FIG. 3). If it is less than the shortage amount 373b (step 142 in FIG. 8), the process returns to step 140 in FIG. 8 to display the balance screen 370 again. In addition, in the case of the shortage of the remaining balance, supplementation of the shortage amount is performed for each voting card. However, when a voting card with insufficient balance is detected, an unprocessed valid voting card including this voting card is used. The total amount of the shortage amount may be obtained and displayed on the selection screen 373 as the shortage amount.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the operation when there is no shortage in the balance column 308 as a result of the determination in step 104 of FIG. 5, but there is an error in one place in the contents of the voting card. Such a voting card can be corrected, and this correction processing is performed in the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 9, first, as shown in FIG. 35 (a), when there is a confirmed voting card, this error is one vote so as to push up the confirmed voting ticket information screen 381 for the voting card. A correction screen 380 that appears while the error determination screen 382 for the card is scrolled upward from the lower side is displayed (step 150 in FIG. 9). Then, this correct / incorrect screen 380 eventually displays only the error determination screen 382 as shown in FIG. 35 (b). The confirmed voting ticket information screen 381 clarifies that it is a confirmed voting card by, for example, hatching.

  The error determination screen 382 selects an error voting ticket information screen 383 that indicates the content of the voting card in which one error has been confirmed, a message 384 that specifically indicates the content of the error, and a procedure for this voting card. And a selection screen 385. In the error voting ticket information screen 383, the error part is indicated by a “?” Mark 383a, and the error part indicated by the message 383 is further clarified. Further, the selection screen 385 shows a correction button 385a and a card cancel button 385b so that the customer can select one of these buttons.

Here, when the correction button 385a is touch-operated (step 151 in FIG. 9), a location to be corrected is determined (step 152 in FIG. 9).
(1) If there is an error in the boat number designation, proceed to the process of FIG.
(2) If there is an error in the designation for each expression, the process proceeds to FIG.
(3) If there is an error in the specification of the race number, the process proceeds to FIG.
(4) If there is an error in the designation of the venue, the processing proceeds to FIG.
Hereinafter, each processing operation will be described.

  First, (1) if there is an error in the designation of the boat number, the boat number correction screen 390 shown in FIG. 36 is displayed in FIG. 10 (step 160). In this boat number correction screen 390, the content of the voting card in error and the correction location specification screen 391 in which the “?” Mark 391a is specified, a message 392 that prompts the customer to specify the boat number, and the correction It consists of a selection screen 393 for operation. In this selection screen 393, a boat number selection field 393a in which each boat number is displayed in a different color together with the player name, a formula-specific correction button 393b, and a return button 393c are provided. When the expression-specific correction button 393b is touch-operated (step 161 in FIG. 10), the process proceeds to the processing operation shown in FIG. 11, and when the return button 393c is touch-operated (step 161 in FIG. 10), the process returns to step 150 in FIG. The correction screen 380 shown in 35 (a) and (b) is displayed.

  When a predetermined boat number is touch-operated from the boat number selection field 393a on the boat number correction screen 390 (step 161 in FIG. 10), the correction point required by the “?” Mark 391a on the correction point designation screen 391 is selected. The correction content confirmation screen 400 shown in FIG. 37 is displayed (step 162 in FIG. 10). On the modification content confirmation screen 400, a modified voting ticket information screen 401, a message 402 for prompting the customer to confirm the content of the screen 401, and a selection screen 403 are displayed. In the revised voting ticket information screen 401, the contents of the revised part are clearly displayed, and the other information contents are displayed in a blurred manner except for information on the amount of money (in this case, the venue and the race number are displayed). Is clearly displayed and the boat number is displayed in a blurred manner, because the correction content confirmation screen 400 shown in FIG. 37 is also used for content confirmation during other processing operations. As described above, when the boat number is corrected, the boat number of the betting type is clearly displayed). In addition, in other screens related to correction, the corrected portion can be displayed more clearly by blurring and displaying the contents other than the corrected portion and the amount of money.

  In the selection screen 403, a confirmation button 403a and a redo button 403b are provided. When the confirmation button 403a is touched (step 163 in FIG. 10), the corrected voting ticket information screen 401 is excluded as shown in FIG. When the correction content confirmation screen 400 moves to a correction completion screen 410 that is removed by scrolling leftward as indicated by, for example, a white arrow (step 164 in FIG. 10), the correction content confirmation screen 400 is removed.
