  When these first screen data D1 to fifth screen data D5 are displayed on the display devices 20-1 to 20-5, they can be displayed as a series of messages as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the state detection unit 31a and the display pattern determination unit 31b in FIG.

  In step S1, the state detection means 31a monitors whether or not the state of any one ATM 10 changes. When there is a transition (YES), the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, the state detection unit 31a updates the state of the corresponding ATM number in the state management table 32b.

  The display pattern determination unit 31b sets 1 to the ATM number counter. The ATM number counter means a counter that counts the ATM numbers shown in FIG. The ATM number counter is simply expressed as an ATM number in FIG. In step S4, the display pattern determination unit 31b sets 0 to the idle counter. An idle counter is a counter that counts the number of consecutive idle states.

  In step S5, the display pattern determination unit 31b reads the state indicated by the ATM number counter of the state management table 32b. In step S6, the display pattern determination unit 31b determines whether or not the read state is an idle state. When it is not in the idle state (NO), the process proceeds to step S7. In step S7, the display pattern determination means 31b sets t to the display pattern indicated by the ATM number counter of the state management table 32b when the read state is the transaction state. When the read state is the transaction suspension state, nt is set to the display pattern indicated by the ATM number counter of the state management table 32b.

  In step S8, the process branches according to the value of the idle counter. When the idle counter is 0, it means that there has been no idle state in the search so far, so the process simply proceeds to step S12. When the idle counter is 1, the process proceeds to step S9, where the display pattern of the ATM number immediately before the ATM number counter is set to 1 in the state management table 32b, and the process proceeds to step S12. When the idle counter is 2, the process proceeds to step S10, and the display pattern of the ATM numbers one and two before the ATM number counter is set to 2 in the state management table 32b, and the process proceeds to step S12. Similarly, when the idle counter is 3, when it is 4, when it is 5, the process when it is 5, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, the display pattern determination means 31b sets 0 to the idle counter, and in step S13, adds 1 to the ATM number counter. In step S14, the display pattern determination means 31b determines whether or not the ATM number counter is the maximum value M. The maximum value M is the number of ATMs 10 arranged in a horizontal row, and is 5 in the first embodiment.

  When the ATM number counter is not the maximum value M (NO), the process returns to step S5, and when it is the maximum value M (YRS), this process is terminated.

  In step S6, when the read state is idle (YES), the process proceeds to step S15, and in step S15, the display pattern determination unit 31b adds 1 to the idle counter and proceeds to step S13.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the selective transmission means 31c in FIG.
In step S21, the selective transmission means 31c sets 1 to the ATM number counter. The ATM number counter means a counter that counts the ATM numbers shown in FIG. The ATM number counter is simply expressed as an ATM number in FIG. In step S21, the selective transmission means 31c reads the display pattern indicated by the ATM number counter in the state management table 32b. In step S23, the process branches according to the read display pattern.

  When the display pattern is t or nt, the process proceeds to step S24, and the in-transaction screen data Dt or the transaction stop screen data Dnt is read from the display data file 32a. In step S25, the selective transmission means 31c transmits the in-transaction screen data Dt or the transaction stop screen data Dnt read to the ATM 10 indicated by the ATM number counter, and proceeds to step S38.

  When the display pattern is 1, the process proceeds to step S26, and the single screen data D1 is read from the display data file 32a in step S26. In step S27, the selective transmission means 31c transmits the single screen data D1 read to the ATM 10 indicated by the ATM number counter, and proceeds to step S38.

  When the display pattern is 2, the process proceeds to step S28, and the selective transmission means 31c reads the first screen data D2-1 of the two linked screen data D2 from the display data file 32a. In step S29, the selective transmission means 31c transmits the read first screen data D2-1 to the ATM 10 indicated by the ATM number counter. In step S30, 1 is added to the ATM number counter, and the process proceeds to step S31. In step S31, the selective transmission means 31c reads the second screen data D2-2 of the two linked screen data D2 from the display data file 32a. In step S32, the selective transmission means 31c transmits the second screen data D2-2 read to the ATM 10 indicated by the ATM number counter, and proceeds to step S38.

  Similarly, when the display pattern is 3, processing when it is 4 is performed. In step S23, when the display pattern is 5, the process proceeds to step S33, and the selective transmission means 31c reads the first screen data D5-1 of the five linked screen data D5 from the display data file 32a. In step S34, the selective transmission means 31c transmits the read first screen data D5-1 to the ATM 10 indicated by the ATM number counter. In step S35, 1 is added to the ATM number counter. Hereinafter, similarly, reading and transmission processing of the second screen data D5-2 to fourth screen data D5-4 are performed. In step S36, the selective transmission means 31c reads the fifth screen data D5-5 of the five linked screen data D5 from the display data file 32a. In step S37, the selective transmission means 31c transmits the read fifth screen data D5-5 to the ATM 10 indicated by the ATM number counter, and proceeds to step S38.

  In step S38, 1 is added to the ATM number counter. In step S39, the selective transmission means 31c determines whether or not the ATM number counter is the maximum value M. The maximum value M is the number of ATMs 10 arranged in a horizontal row, and is 5 in the first embodiment.

  When the ATM number counter is not the maximum value M (NO), the process returns to step S22, and when it is the maximum value M (YRS), this process is terminated.
