Have

  The control unit 21 governs the overall function of the automatic transaction apparatus 1. For example, the control unit 21 implements the function of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 by executing a processing program stored in the storage unit 27.

  FIG. 2 shows main functional units of the control unit 21 according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the control unit 21 includes a transaction processing unit 211 and a guidance control unit 212 as main functional units.

  The transaction processing unit 211 performs a financial transaction process such as a transfer transaction, a withdrawal transaction, a deposit transaction, and a passbook entry. When the transaction type is selected by the user through the transaction type selection menu screen displayed on the operation display unit 12, the transaction processing unit 211 performs the selected transaction process.

  The guidance control unit 212 turns on and blinks the light emitting units 17-1 to 17-5 according to a predetermined guidance pattern when the user performs an operation related to the transaction. The guidance control unit 212 controls the display screen displayed on the operation display unit 12.

  Here, the guidance control unit 212 controls the brightness (brightness) of the screen of the operation display unit 12 in order to make the light emitting units 17-1 to 17-5 that emit light stand out. That is, when the light emitting units 17-1 to 17-5 are caused to emit light, the guidance control unit 121 reduces the brightness of the screen so that the screen of the operation display unit 12 becomes dark. The guidance control unit 212 may control the brightness of the screen with a plurality of brightnesses. For example, the brightness control may be changed according to the type of transaction processing.

  The light emission control unit 22 drives the light emission units 17-1 to 17-5 to emit light (for example, lighting or blinking) based on the control of the guidance control unit 212 of the control unit 21.

  The passbook mechanism control unit 23 takes in the passbook inserted from the passbook entry / exit 16 under the control of the control unit 21, reads the passbook information stored in the magnetic storage unit or IC chip of the inserted passbook, The passbook information is given to the control unit 21. Further, the passbook mechanism control unit 23 prints the transaction contents on the passbook as necessary, and discharges the passbook.

(A-2) Operation | movement of 1st Embodiment Next, operation | movement of the process of guidance control of transaction operation in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 of 1st Embodiment is demonstrated, referring drawings.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of guidance control for transaction operation in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.

  Below, the operation | movement of the induction | guidance | derivation process when discharging a cash card from the card entrance / exit 15 after completion | finish of transaction is illustrated.

  In addition, it is not limited to the case of card | curd discharge, It can apply also in the case of card insertion by changing the display screen of the operation display part 12. FIG. In addition, by replacing the display screen of the operation display unit 12 and the light emitting unit 17 to be lit, the same processing as described below can be applied to insertion and discharge of a passbook, and insertion and refund of banknotes and coins. .

  In FIG. 3, the user selects a desired transaction from the selection menu screen displayed on the operation display unit 12, and performs a transaction by operating the desired transaction according to the transaction operation screen.

  For example, in the case of deposit processing or withdrawal processing, the user needs to insert a cash card into the card slot 15 and perform a transaction operation, and when the transaction ends, the cash card is ejected from the card slot 15.

  When the transaction ends (S101), in the automatic transaction apparatus 1, the control unit 21 displays a card return screen on the operation display unit 12 (S102), and at the same time, the light emitting unit 17-4 and the light emission of the card entrance / exit 15 The part 17-1 is turned on or blinked (S103). The light emitting unit 17-4 and the light emitting unit 17-1 may be either lit or blinking, and the lighting interval when blinking can be set as appropriate.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 21 lowers the brightness of the screen displayed on the operation display unit 12 and darkens the screen of the operation display unit 12 (S104).

  That is, the user's consciousness can be directed to the location where light is emitted by providing contrast between the operation display unit 12, the light emitting unit 17-4, and the light emitting unit 17-1. Accordingly, the user can pay attention to the light emitting unit 17-4 that is lit or blinking, that is, the card insertion / exit 15, and can receive the cash card discharged from the card insertion / exit 15 with certainty. Further, the light emitting unit 17-1, that is, the foreign object return port 11 can be noticed, and the user can recognize the position of the foreign object return port 11.

  In this embodiment, the screen of the operation display unit 12 is darkened, and the contrast that makes the light emitting unit 17 that is lit or blinking stand out is conscious. However, guidance by voice guidance, buzzer sound, etc. are linked. Therefore, it can be expected to prevent forgetting more effectively.

  When the cash card is completely discharged from the card slot 15 (S105), the control unit 21 turns off the light emitting unit 17-4 of the card slot 15 (S106), and the card return screen displayed on the operation display unit 12 is displayed. The display of 100 is stopped (S107), and the process is terminated (S108).

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the foreign object return guidance process in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.

  Here, a case where a user inserts a foreign object when inserting a banknote and returns the inserted foreign object from the foreign object return port 11 is illustrated. Although the case where a foreign material is inserted when a bill is inserted is illustrated, the same processing can be applied when a coin is inserted.

  For example, at the time of a deposit transaction or a transfer transaction, the control unit 21 of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 requests the bill insertion (S201). At this time, the control unit 21 displays a banknote insertion screen on the operation display unit 12 (S202), and at the same time, the control unit 21 opens the bucket-type banknote inlet / outlet 13 and the light emitting unit of the banknote inlet / outlet 13 17-2 is turned on or blinked (S203).

  The user inserts the bill into the bill inlet / outlet 13 in accordance with the guidance of the light emitting unit 17-2 that is lit or blinking. When a banknote is inserted from the banknote entrance / exit 13, it is determined whether or not a foreign object is inserted in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 (S204).

  And when a foreign material is detected, the control part 21 lights or blinks the light emission part 17-1 of the foreign material return port 11 (S205), and when a foreign material is not detected, the control part 21 complete | finishes a foreign material return process, Continue normal transaction processing.

  Here, when a bill is inserted, when a coin is inserted as a foreign object, the inserted coin is detected, and the coin is conveyed to the foreign object return port 11 until the light emitting unit 17-1 is turned on or blinked. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a foreign object detection method in the automatic transaction apparatus 1.

  In FIG. 6, a bill is inserted into the bill insertion bucket 31. The bottom of the bill insertion bucket 31 has a gap so that foreign matter can be dropped, and when a coin is inserted, the coin falls from the bill insertion bucket 31 (S1).

  Under the bottom of the bill insertion bucket 31, foreign matter detection units 32-1 and 32-2 are provided. When the foreign matter detection units 32-1 and 32-2 detect falling coins, the foreign matter transport belt 33 To drive. The coins placed on the foreign material transport belt 33 are transported toward the foreign material return chute 35 by driving the foreign material transport belt 33 (S2).

  6 illustrates a case where the foreign matter detection units 32-1 and 32-2 and the foreign matter transport belt 33 are provided, but the foreign matter transport belt 33 may not be provided. In other words, the coins from the bill insertion bucket 31 may fall directly on the foreign object return chute 35.

  When the coins transported to the foreign material transport belt 33 fall on the foreign material return chute 35 (S3), the coins are stored in the foreign material return port 11 via the foreign material return chute 35.

  At this time, when the foreign matter fall detection units 34-1 and 34-2 detect coins falling on the foreign matter return chute 35, the control unit 21 lights or blinks the light emitting unit 17-1 (S4).

  In this way, when a coin is inserted together with a bill, the coin can be detected, and the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11 can be turned on or blinked.

  When a foreign object is detected and the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11 is turned on or blinked, the control unit 21 reduces the brightness of the screen displayed on the operation display unit 12 as shown in FIG. The screen of the operation display unit 12 is darkened (S206), and at the same time, the light emitting unit 17-2 of the banknote entrance / exit 13 is turned off (S207).

  Thereby, since the screen of the operation display part 12 becomes dark and the light emission part 17-2 of the banknote inlet / outlet 13 is extinguished, the brightness of the light emission part 17-1 stands out and the user turns on the light emission. Attention is paid to the part 17-1, and coins returned from the foreign object return port 11 can be received.

  The foreign object return port 11 is provided in the lower part of the automatic transaction apparatus 1, and the user may not be aware of the presence of the foreign object return port 11, so it is desirable to guide the user more strongly. . Therefore, when the foreign object is returned, the brightness of the screen of the operation display unit 12 in FIG. 7 is made lower than in the case of other operation guidance as shown in FIG.

  When a predetermined time elapses after the light emitting portion 17-2 of the banknote entrance / exit 13 is turned off (S208), the control portion 21 turns off the light emitting portion 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11 (S209), and causes the operation display portion 12 to switch off. The display of the displayed banknote insertion screen 200 is stopped (S210), and the process is terminated (S211).

  Here, when a predetermined time elapses, the control unit 21 turns off the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11. However, the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11 is turned off by another method. You may do it.

  For example, a foreign matter monitoring sensor is provided in the foreign matter return port 11, and the control unit 21 determines that the foreign matter in the foreign matter return port 11 has been removed according to the state of the foreign matter monitoring sensor, and the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign matter return port 11. Turn off the light. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, foreign matter monitoring sensors 36-1 and 36-2 may be provided at the foreign matter return port 11. In other words, the foreign object to be returned is given to the foreign object return port 11. For example, when the foreign object monitoring sensors 36-1 and 36-2 detect the opening / closing body 37 provided in the foreign object return port 11, the control unit 21 returns the foreign object. The light emitting part 17-1 of the mouth 11 may be turned off. That is, when the foreign matter monitoring sensors 36-1 and 36-2 detect the opening / closing body 37, the control unit 21 can consider that the user has taken up the foreign matter returned to the foreign matter return port 11. Alternatively, the light emitting unit 17-1 may be turned off. As shown in FIG. 22, the foreign object return port 11 includes a plurality of foreign object monitoring sensors 36-1 to 36-6, and any of the foreign object monitoring sensors 36-1 to 36-6 detects no foreign object. Moreover, you may make it the control part 21 light-extinguish the light emission part 17-1 of the foreign material return port 11. FIG.

(A-3) Effects of the First Embodiment As described above, according to the first embodiment, the screen seen by the customer in the automatic transaction apparatus is temporarily darkened, so that the medium and foreign matter received by the customer can be reduced. By contrasting with the flicker of the return port, it can be expected to prevent forgetting to receive.

(B) 2nd Embodiment Next, 2nd Embodiment of the transaction apparatus of this invention is described in detail, referring drawings.

(B-1) Configuration of Second Embodiment FIG. 8 is an internal configuration diagram showing an internal configuration of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment.

  In FIG. 8, the automatic transaction apparatus 1 of 2nd Embodiment is the control part 21, the light emission control part 22, the bankbook mechanism control part 23, the operation display control part 24, the card mechanism control part 25, the cash mechanism control part 26, and memory | storage. Unit 27 and communication unit 28.

  In 2nd Embodiment, it has the transaction process part 211 and the guidance control part 213 as a main function part of the control part 21. FIG.

  In the second embodiment, the processing of the guidance control unit 213 is different from that of the first embodiment, and the processing of the transaction processing unit 211 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the guidance control unit The processing in step 213 will be described in detail.

  The guidance control unit 213 turns on and blinks the light emitting units 17-1 to 17-5 in accordance with a predetermined guidance pattern when the user performs an operation related to the transaction. The guidance control unit 213 controls a display screen displayed on the operation display unit 12.

  Here, the guidance control unit 213 causes the operation display unit 12 to display a pop-up screen indicating that a foreign object is returned from the foreign object return port 11 when the foreign object is returned.

  The timing at which the guidance control unit 213 displays the pop-up screen is performed during transaction processing. For example, when the deposit process is performed, it may be time to count the inserted bills, or timing to transmit / receive information to / from the host computer.

(B-2) Operation | movement of 2nd Embodiment Next, operation | movement of the process of guidance control of transaction operation in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated, referring drawings.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the foreign object return guidance process in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment.

  Here, as in the first embodiment, a case in which a foreign object is also inserted when the user inserts a bill and the inserted foreign object is returned from the foreign object return port 11 is illustrated. Although the case where a foreign material is inserted when a bill is inserted is illustrated, the same processing can be applied when a coin is inserted.

  For example, when performing a deposit transaction such as a deposit transaction or a transfer transaction, the control unit 21 of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 requests the bill insertion (S201). At this time, the control unit 21 displays a banknote insertion screen on the operation display unit 12 (S202), and at the same time, the control unit 21 opens the bucket-type banknote inlet / outlet 13 and the light emitting unit of the banknote inlet / outlet 13 17-2 is turned on or blinked (S203).

  The user inserts the bill into the bill inlet / outlet 13 in accordance with the guidance of the light emitting unit 17-2 that is lit or blinking. When a banknote is inserted from the banknote entrance / exit 13, it is determined whether or not a foreign object is inserted in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 (S204).

  The foreign substance detection method of S204 can use the method illustrated in FIG. 6 described in the first embodiment.

  When no foreign object is detected, the control unit 21 ends the foreign object return process and continues the normal transaction process.

  On the other hand, when a foreign object is detected, the cash mechanism control unit 26 counts the bills inserted under the control of the control unit 21 (S301), and the control unit 21 performs a deposit process (S302).

  And the control part 21 turns on or blinks the light emission part 17-1 of the foreign material return port 11 during a money_receiving | payment process in order to return the foreign material thrown in with the banknote reliably (S303). A pop-up screen is displayed on the operation display unit 12 (S304).

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a pop-up screen displayed on the operation display unit 12. As shown in FIG. 10, during the processing of the deposit transaction, the control unit 21 displays a deposit processing in progress screen 300 displayed on the operation display unit 12, for example, “We are processing now. Please wait for a while.” Is done. When a foreign object is detected, the control unit 21 displays a pop-up screen 301 that displays, for example, “Please take the coins at your feet” when the deposit processing screen 300 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 21 displays a pop-up screen 301 that prompts the user to pick up a foreign object (coin) to be returned, thereby allowing the user to return the foreign object return port 11 via the operation display unit 12. Since it can be notified that the foreign object is returned from the user, it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to remove the foreign object.

  At this time, the control unit 21 may output the voice guidance prepared in advance and output the position of the foreign object return port 11 and picking up the foreign object by voice.

  When the depositing process is completed (S305), the control unit 21 deletes the pop-up screen 301 displayed on the operation display unit 12 (S306) and turns off the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11. (S307), the process ends (S308). Here, when the depositing process is completed, the control unit 21 deletes the display of the pop-up screen 301 displayed on the operation display unit 12, turns off the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11, and performs the processing. I ended it. However, the control unit 21 displays the pop-up screen 301 displayed on the operation display unit 12 only during the counting of the deposit process, and turns on or blinks the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11. Then, when the counting of the depositing process is completed, even if the depositing process is not completed, the display on the pop-up screen 301 may be deleted and the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11 may be turned off. That is, the pop-up screen may be displayed only during the counting of the deposit process, and the light emitting unit 17-1 of the foreign object return port 11 may be turned on or blinked.

(B-3) Effect of Second Embodiment As described above, according to the second embodiment, there is a foreign object return port in the lower part of the automatic transaction apparatus in the middle of transaction processing when foreign objects are returned. By popping up a screen that prompts the user to pick up the returned foreign object, it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to remove the foreign object.
