Description

  The present invention relates to a customer operation type terminal and a display device thereof, and relates to a customer operation type terminal having a display with different viewing angles on one screen.

  An automatic ticket vending machine or the like, which is one of customer operation type terminals, has a user operation unit and an information display. Since the information display is capable of providing necessary information not only to the user who is operating, but also to the users who are lined up behind it, it has been put to practical use as an information display section of a ticket vending machine. In an actual ticket vending machine, it is practically sufficient that the display for displaying information only displays fixed information.

  Therefore, the display on the display unit for displaying information has conventionally been displayed by printing a fixed display on an acrylic plate as an inexpensive method. However, in terms of customer service, this method also limits the amount of information. It has become difficult to say that it is enough. Also, it was not easy to change or add information. As means for solving these problems, a method of providing an information display dedicated display for an information display has been put into practical use.

  However, the provision of a dedicated information display has the disadvantage of increasing the cost of a device / display for controlling information.

  As an improvement measure, the information display dedicated display and the user operation unit are used on a single large screen (17 inches or more) to display and operate on the same screen. Since it is one screen, there is an advantage that the cost of a device for controlling information, a display dedicated to information display, etc. is not required. However, there is a problem that it is necessary to perform a conflicting display so that only the operator can see the user operation unit, and the information display unit can be seen from a wide angle.

JP-A-6-162293

  In order to protect personal information, the user operation unit needs to narrow the viewing angle so that only the operator can see it, and it is necessary to make it difficult for people who are lined up behind or next to the terminal. On the other hand, the information display unit needs to have a wide viewing angle and can be seen from anywhere, and there is a problem in which a portion having a narrow viewing angle and a wide portion coexist on the same screen.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means.

  When the viewing angle of the display unit for information display is widened on the user operation panel with the structure of the LCD unit, privacy film, and touch panel, the film cut surface exposure of the privacy film is prevented and the tilt of the film due to assembly variation is not visible. To construct a mechanism that uses a cover at the boundary between the information display unit and the user operation unit.

  A mechanism that uses a cover at the boundary between the information display part of the privacy film and the user operation part when the viewing angle of the information display part is widened on the user operation panel having the structure of the LCD unit, privacy film, and touch panel. Build up.

  In order to widen the viewing angle of the information display unit on the user operation panel having the structure of the LCD unit, the privacy film, and the touch panel, a mechanism for using a transparent information display unit of the privacy film is used.

  By attaching a filter only to the operation unit, or by attaching a filter having a transparent part and a filtering part, it is possible to protect the privacy of the user and information display means at the same time, and to realize contradictory display.

It is the figure which showed the general view of the ticket vending machine in a present Example. It is explanatory drawing which shows the positional relationship of a touchscreen and a privacy film and LCD unit. It is explanatory drawing which showed the filtering implementation method with a privacy film (Example 1). It is explanatory drawing which showed the filtering implementation method with a privacy film (Example 2). It is explanatory drawing which showed the filtering implementation method with a privacy film (Example 3).

  FIG. 1 is an overview of an automatic ticket vending machine 1 in the present embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes an automatic ticket vending machine, and an LCD unit 8 with a touch panel having an information display display unit and a user operation unit on one screen is arranged vertically. A user operates the LCD unit 8 with a touch panel and issues a target ticket. In addition to the LCD unit 8 with a touch panel, the automatic ticket vending machine 1 inserts a coin insertion slot 2 for inserting coins, a coin discharge slot 2A through which change is discharged, a numeric keypad 3 for inputting a PIN number, and bills. A banknote slot 4 for billing, a banknote slot 4A through which change is released, a non-contact IC card reader / writer 5, a ticket slot 6 for issuing a ticket intended by the user, and a card slot 7 for reading a credit card or the like. Is provided.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a positional relationship between the touch panel 8A and the privacy film 8B / LCD unit 8C of the LCD unit 8 with a touch panel having a display unit for displaying information and a user operation unit, and between the touch panel 8A and the LCD unit 8C. Contains a privacy film 8B.

  The embodiment of FIG. 3 realizes a conflicting display by attaching only the user operation unit to the LCD unit 8C with the privacy film 8B. In this case, there is a disadvantage that the cross section 9 of the privacy film 8B is visible and the aesthetic appearance is impaired. The embodiment of FIG. 4 which solved this drawback is shown. The aesthetic appearance is solved by providing a cover 8D at the boundary of the privacy film section 9 of the information display display section of the LCD unit 8C and the user operation section in the embodiment of FIG. FIG. 5 shows a similar embodiment. The aesthetic problem is solved by attaching a privacy film 8E having a transmissive area (a hollow area) 9A and a filtering portion 9B to the LCD unit 8C.

  The present invention can be applied to all customer operation type terminals having a user operation unit and an information display.
