Description

  The present invention relates to an input device and an automatic transaction apparatus including the input device.

As an input device provided in a conventional automatic transaction apparatus, an input apparatus provided with a touch panel overlaid on a display screen such as a liquid crystal is known.
In such a case, when a region displayed on the display screen is touched with a customer's finger or a dedicated pen, a desired function such as an input screen can be obtained.

  For example, an input device is known that automatically detects whether a customer is right-handed or left-handed by detecting which one of the dedicated pens arranged on the left and right of the device is held by the customer. A pen input screen suitable for the dominant hand of the customer is displayed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  In addition, there is also known a touch panel display unit provided with a handwriting input area and a soft key display area to set the touch detection sensitivity of the soft key area to be relatively low (see, for example, Patent Document 2). As a result, it is possible to prevent malfunction due to a reaction in an area other than the handwriting input area.

  Furthermore, an input assisting tool on which a palm or a wrist is placed is provided on the touch panel display unit, and the fingertip can be freely moved using the input assisting tool as a fulcrum (see, for example, Patent Document 3). In such a thing, malfunctioning by things other than a fingertip getting on a touch-panel display part can be prevented.

  In addition, when a plurality of touch areas on the touch panel are detected, the touch area having the smaller area of the detected touch areas, or the position touching the top of the detected touch areas. There is also known one that selects position information (see, for example, Patent Document 4). In such a thing, the malfunction by things other than a customer's fingertip and a dedicated pen is suppressed.

  And what is comprised so that at least one part of the circumference | surroundings of a touch panel may have a level | step difference of about 1.8 mm-5.0 mm with the surface of a touch panel is known (for example, refer patent document 5). In such a case, since a customer's palm or little finger or the like gets on the step, an attempt is made to prevent malfunction due to the palm or little finger touching the surface of the touch panel.

However, the conventional input device described in Patent Document 1 mainly provides a display according to the dominant hand. For this reason, a total of two dedicated pens and pen removal detection units are required on the left and right sides of the input device. Therefore, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases.
Further, in the case of an apparatus originally provided with only one pen, there has been a problem that the apparatus configuration or structure must be changed.

  And in the conventional input device described in patent document 2, in order to change the detection sensitivity of a touch panel, it is necessary to switch an input mode and an operation mode manually or automatically. For this reason, there has been a problem that the response with the lower detection sensitivity becomes dull when the operation of another area has to be performed during character input.

Furthermore, in the conventional input device described in Patent Document 3, an input auxiliary tool on which a palm or a wrist is placed must be provided on the touch panel display unit. For this reason, there existed a problem that manufacturing cost will rise.
In addition, there is a problem that the configuration and structure of the device must be changed in order to be applied to a device that is not originally provided with an input auxiliary tool.

  Further, in the conventional input device described in Patent Document 4, if there is a wrinkle in the way a customer holding a pen has a wrinkle, the fingertip may be positioned on the touch panel higher than the pentip. In such a case, there has been a problem that malfunction cannot be avoided.

In the conventional input device described in Patent Document 5, depending on the input position on the touch panel, the palm or little finger or the like gets on the touch panel without the customer's palm or little finger or the like on the step around the touch panel. There is.
In particular, when inputting on the upper part of a wide touch panel display unit, a customer's palm, little finger, etc. get on the touch panel. For this reason, even if a step is provided around the touch panel, there is a problem that the effect of the step is lost.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an input device that can be easily input by a customer and that can prevent an erroneous operation, and an automatic discrimination device including the input device.

  The present invention includes a display panel, a control unit that displays one or more entry fields on the display panel, and a touch panel that is installed on the display panel and detects a customer's touch operation. An image control unit that detects selection of the column and moves the selected entry column along the dead area located around the display panel, and predetermined information input from the entry column via the touch panel And an input unit for capturing the image.

  According to the present invention, the control unit moves the input display area along the insensitive area. For this reason, when the customer's palm is put on the insensitive area, the fingertip can be moved freely with the palm as a fulcrum. Therefore, it is easy for a customer to input by hand, and since the touch operation is performed on the entry field closest to the insensitive area, an input device that can prevent an erroneous operation is provided.

[Example 1]
Next, the input device of Example 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 3 is a front view of the operation display unit 13 used in the VTM 1 of the first embodiment.
The operation display unit 13 according to the first embodiment includes a display area 50 mainly configured by the touch panel 13 b and a non-display area 60 positioned around the display area 50 in appearance.

  Among these, VTM1 of Example 1 is comprised so that the display screen 13a located in the lower surface side of the touchscreen 13b and the touchscreen 13b may be accommodated and protected in a housing. For this reason, the end surface of the frame constituting a part of the housing provided inside is configured to overlap the non-display area 60.

In addition, the non-display area 60 of the first embodiment is configured so that the top, bottom, left and right sides have substantially the same constant width h1 when viewed from the front. In the first embodiment, the non-display area 60 is configured such that the detection point of the touch panel 13b does not exist, but becomes a non-sensitive area by the detection sensitivity control unit 103 so that the touch operation function of the touch panel 13b does not function. It may be controlled as follows.
The operation display unit 13 is mounted on a part of the mounting table 12 so that the upper surface of the mounting table 12 shown in FIG. 1 is substantially flush with the upper surface of the touch panel 13b.

  The operation display unit 13 of the first embodiment adopts a usage mode such as a monitor connected to the control unit 11 shown in FIG. 2, but is not limited to this. Further, it may be constituted by a so-called tablet terminal provided with a large-capacity storage unit or the like.

FIG. 4 is a front view illustrating a state in which the initial screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13 of the first embodiment.
The display area 50 displays entry fields 51 such as address, name, name (kana), telephone number, date of birth, and the like.
In addition, about an item, items other than an address, a full name, a full name (kana), a telephone number, and a date of birth may be provided, and the number of items may be still smaller.

  Each entry field 51 includes an item name entry area 52 and an entry information display area 53. In the filled-in information display area 53, a button indicating “Please touch” is arranged in the unfilled column, and the filled-in information and the filled-in information are corrected in the filled-in column described later. In this case, a correction button that can be touched is displayed.

  In addition, in the display area 50 according to the first embodiment, a confirmation button 54 that is operated after all items have been entered to make a transition to the next screen, and a return button 55 that performs an operation to return to the previous screen. An explanatory note display area 56 for explaining the operation is arranged.

FIG. 5 is a front view illustrating a state where an item to be input from the screen is selected using the touch pen 9 on the operation display unit of the first embodiment.
For example, when “address” is entered, first, as shown in FIG. 5, an operation of touching the “Please touch” button in the “address” entry field of the entry information display area 53 with the touch pen 9 or the finger of the customer. (Hereinafter referred to as touch operation).

Then, the control unit 11 moves the address field 51a so as to be inserted into the lowermost part of the display area 50 as shown in FIG. At this time, the other columns move upward to be pushed up. The other fields are touch invalid areas that do not react even when the touch pen 9 or the like touches.
For example, a black display or a light display may be used to indicate that these other fields are invalid for the touch operation.

Then, the input item entry area 57 of the address field 51a moved to a position along the non-display area 60a on the lower side of the non-display area 60 which is a dead area can be entered using the touch pen 9 or the customer's finger.
In this state, an address field 51a is arranged in the center of the display area 50 in the left-right direction. For this reason, it is easy to fill in even if the dominant hand is left or right.
Note that a registration button 7 for confirming the entry content after completion of entry and a correction button 8 used for correcting the entry content are arranged on the right adjacent to the address field 51a of the display area 50. .

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view at a position along the line VII-VII in FIG. 6 showing a state where the operation display unit 13 of the first embodiment uses the touch pen 9 to fill in the input item entry area 57 along the dead area. is there.
The input item entry area 57 that can be entered in the address field 51a is inserted into the lowermost part of the display area 50 and arranged along the lower non-display area 60a.
The non-display area 60a is a dead area. In addition, the customer's hand gets on the non-display area 60a at the time of entry, and the malfunction that occurs when the hand or finger touches the other part of the display area 50 can be prevented.

When the registration button 7 (see FIG. 6) is touched after the entry is completed, the screen returns to the initial screen layout.
FIG. 8 is a front view illustrating a state in which the address field 51a is returned to the original position by the confirmation button 54 in the input device according to the first embodiment.
When the address field 51a returns to the original position, the input item entry area 57 becomes the entry information display area 58. In the entry information display area 58, the touch operation becomes invalid, and when the contents entered in the entry information display area 58 are corrected, the correction button 59 arranged adjacent to the right is touched.
In the explanatory note display area 56, an explanation about correction “Touch the correction button when correcting the entry contents” is additionally displayed.

  Next, the effect of the input device of Example 1 of this embodiment will be described. As described above, in the input device according to the first embodiment, an item field (for example, an address field) to be input in the entry information display area 53 (see FIG. 5) is touch-operated with the touch pen 9 or the customer's finger. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the input item entry area 57 moves to the lowermost part of the display area 50 and to the central part.

For this reason, it is easy to input with both the left and right hands, and no matter which hand is used, the touch pen 9 used for input need not be prepared on the left and right, compared to the case where two touch pens 9 and 9 are provided. Thus, an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed.
Further, it is possible to prevent malfunction caused by the customer's hand or finger getting on the display area 50 without providing an auxiliary tool or a step.

Furthermore, the area where the touch operation is unnecessary does not decrease the touch sensitivity but can invalidate the touch operation. For this reason, even if the customer touches each entry field 51 unintentionally, no malfunction occurs.
Then, the touch effective area at the time of entry can be limited to a narrow range within the input item entry area 57. For this reason, it is possible to make it difficult for a customer's hand or finger to touch a plurality of places at the same time to cause a malfunction.

[Example 2]
However, as shown in FIG. 9, in the operation display unit 23 in which the area of the lower frame portion of the display area is small, there is no place for the customer to put a hand or a finger and it is difficult to fill in.

The width h3 of the non-display area 160 located on the right side and the left side of the display area 50 of the operation display unit 23 is set larger than the width h2 of the upper side and the lower side.
Other configurations are the same as or equivalent to those of the operation display unit 13 of the first embodiment, and thus the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 11 is a front view showing a state where an item to be input from the screen is selected using the touch pen 9 in the input device according to the second embodiment.
First, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, when the “Please touch” button in the “Address” entry field in the entry information display area 53 is touched with the touch pen 9 or the finger of the customer, the control unit 11 shown in FIG. The left entry field display area 34 and the right entry field display area 35 are displayed on the left and right edges of the display area 50.

FIG. 12 is a front view illustrating a state in which the right entry column display area 35 on the right side which is a dominant hand is selected using the touch pen 9 in the input device according to the second embodiment.
On the left and right edges of the display area 50, a left entry field display area 34 and a right entry field display area 35 are arranged along the left and right non-display areas 160a and 160b, respectively.

  In addition, the guidance unit 36 is displayed so as to be overlapped with the entry information display area 53 from the top in the approximate center between the left entry field display area 34 and the right entry field display area 35 of the display area 50. . For example, guidance for prompting a touch operation such as “Please touch the left or right entry column” is displayed on the guidance unit 36.

At this time, the detection sensitivity control unit 103 of the control unit 11 sets a region other than the left entry column display region 34 and the right entry column display region 35 as a touch invalid region where the touch operation is invalid. At this time, a sanitized display or a light display may be used in order to allow the customer to recognize the portion that has become the touch invalid area.
In the left entry field display area 34 of the second embodiment, a touch button 34a displayed as “Left-handed person touches here” is arranged. Below the left entry column display area 34, a registration button 34b for confirming the entry content after entry and a correction button 34c used for correcting the entered content are arranged vertically.

  Further, in the right entry column display area 35, a touch button 35a displayed as “touch right here if you are right-handed” is arranged. Below the right entry column display area 35, a registration button 35b for confirming the entry contents after entry and a correction button 35c used for correcting the entered contents are arranged one above the other.

FIG. 13 is a front view showing a state where the input device is used to fill in the input item entry area along the dead area using the touch pen 9.
When the touch button indicated as “touch the right-handed person touch here” in the right entry field display area 35 of the left entry field display area 34 and the right entry field display area 35 is touch-operated, the control unit 11 Deletes the display of the left entry field display area 34, the registration button 34b, and the correction button 34c, and leaves the display of the right entry field display area 35, the registration button 35b, and the correction button 35c.

At this time, the touch button display in which “right-handed person touches here” in the right entry field display area 35 is changed to the input item entry area 57.
For this reason, handwriting input by the touch pen 9 or the customer's finger becomes possible through the input item entry area 57.

FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view at a position along the line XIV-XIV in FIG. 13 showing a state in which the input item entry area 57 along the dead area is filled with the touch pen 9 in the input device of the second embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the input item entry area 57 is moved to the rightmost side of the display area 50, so that the input item entry area 57 is adjacently arranged along the non-display area 160a which is a dead area.
For this reason, in the case of a right-handed customer, a hand gets on the non-display area 160a at the time of entry. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a malfunction caused by a customer's hand or finger touching the display area 50 when performing handwriting input.

  When the customer touches the registration button 35b after the handwriting input is completed, the character recognition program stored in advance in the external storage unit 25 or the storage unit 104 shown in FIG.
