Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a processing status display device that repeatedly executes a preset process while displaying the processing status as the process progresses.

(Prior Art) Automation of various transactions, such as transfers and personal withdrawals, is progressing in financial institutions and the like. That is, by operating the automatic transaction device, various transactions can be carried out without the intervention of bank staff.

FIG. 2 shows an external perspective view of a general automatic transaction device.

At the top of the front face of the automatic transaction device l shown in the figure, there is a transaction selection section 2 with keys for selecting various transactions such as transfer, deposit, withdrawal, etc., and keys for inputting various numerical information such as a PIN number. A numerical operation section 3 is provided, a display section 4 consisting of a display etc. for displaying various information, and a bill handling section 5 for taking in and out bills. Note that the display unit 4 is provided with a touch panel used for inputting kana characters and the like. Above the transaction selection section 2 and bill handling section 5, there is a passbook handling section 6 that reads and prints passbook data, a card handling section 7 that reads card data, etc., and a coin handling section 8 that takes in and out coins. is provided.

The passbook handling unit 6 is comprised of a passbook reader/writer printer that has functions to read data such as account numbers from the magnetic recording part of the passbook, update this data, and print predetermined information. . The card handling section 7 is composed of a card reader/writer, etc., which has a function of reading data such as an account number and a password from a magnetic recording section of a magnetic card, and a function of updating these data.

Now, when using the automatic transaction device 1 with the above configuration to perform, for example, a transfer transaction, a transfer card can also be automatically issued. This transfer card is a card that stores information that identifies the transfer destination and the transfer person, such as the account number, name, and telephone number of the transfer destination. This eliminates the need to input information specifying the transfer destination, etc. each time a transfer transaction is made. That is, the automatic transaction device 1 reads the contents of the transfer card and ascertains the destination of the transfer and the like.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Now, a case will be described in which a transfer card is issued using the automatic transaction device 1.

When issuing a transfer card, the processing status of the automatic transaction device 1, for example, "Currently accepting transfer data manually" or "Writing transfer data to the transfer card", etc. The display section 4 was used to provide guidance on what kind of processing the computer 1 was performing.

By recognizing this display, the customer can
The operating status of the system can be grasped.

Now, in a case where multiple transfer destinations can be stored on one transfer card, it is assumed that the automatic transaction device 1 repeatedly performs the same process (process of storing transfer destinations) on one transfer card. Ru.

For example, assume that one transfer card can store three transfer destinations. In this case, the customer can repeat the process of storing the transfer destination of the transfer card three times. Note that the transfer card has a preset area in which the transfer destination is stored. A transfer card that can store three transfer destinations has three areas. The first area contains the first payment destination, and the second and third areas contain the second and third payment destinations.
The transfer destination will be memorized.

By the way, in the past, when storing a transfer destination on a transfer card, guidance was provided regarding the processing status of what the automatic transaction device was currently doing, but guidance on the processing status including the status of the transfer card was not provided. There wasn't. Therefore, each storage area of the transfer card.

It was not possible to determine what condition it was in.

Therefore, if you want to delete an unnecessary transfer destination and memorize a new one, you must first display the list of transfer destinations and then select the transfer destination memory process again to restart the operation. There were problems with operability.

This is because when storing the transfer destination on the transfer card, the processing status was provided in text. That is, when displaying text, it is not possible to provide much guidance due to problems such as securing a storage area for characters and display space on the display section 4.

The present invention has been made with attention to the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a processing status display device that provides a processing status guide with more information and can instantly grasp the status. That is.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The processing status display device of the present invention displays preset processing.
In a device that is repeatedly executed while displaying a processing status that changes as the processing progresses, a situation recognition means that recognizes the processing status, and a display device that is set in advance to display the processing status corresponding to the processing status. The apparatus includes a recognition symbol display control means for controlling the display of recognition symbols indicating contents, and a correspondence table that associates the recognition symbols with the processing statuses.

(Operation) In the apparatus configured as described above, a recognition symbol corresponding to the content of the processing situation is prepared in advance, and this recognition symbol and the processing situation are associated in a correspondence table. The processing situation recognition means notifies the recognition symbol display means of the recognized processing situation.

The recognition symbol display means refers to the correspondence table based on the notified processing status. As a result, the recognition symbol display means can obtain a recognition symbol corresponding to the processing situation.

Thereafter, the recognition symbol display means displays this recognition symbol on the display device. The processing status can be grasped by the recognition symbol displayed on the display device.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a processing status display device of the present invention.

Here, explanation will be given using a processing status display device installed in an automatic transaction device as an example.

The processor 11 controls and manages each part of the device. Note that this processor 11 is provided with a situation recognition means 3l and a recognition symbol display control means 32. The situation recognition means 31 recognizes the contents of the processing situation of this device. The recognition symbol display control means 32 controls display of recognition symbols, which will be described later, on the display device 14. The data input device 13 includes a numeric keypad for inputting numerical information, a touch panel provided along with the display device 14, and the like.

The display device 14 includes a display or the like that displays various information. The printer 15 is used to print bankbooks, transaction slips, and the like. The communication device 16 includes a modem or the like that controls communication with the host device 22 via the communication line 21. The storage device 17 is an RA that stores programs and data necessary for the operation of the processor 11.
It consists of M, etc. Note that this storage device l7 is provided with a correspondence table 35. This correspondence table 35 is a table in which processing situations recognized by the situation recognition means 31 are associated with recognition symbols. The floppy disk device 18 stores an initial program and the like used when starting up the processor 11. The magnetic disk file 19 is made up of a hard disk or the like that stores, for example, programs and data that cannot be stored in the storage device 17, among the data necessary for the operation of the processor 11. The card writing device 20 is used to store and print transfer destination information on a transfer card. The host device 22 is composed of a host computer or the like that controls and manages the operation of the automatic transaction device.

The operation of the processing status display control device with the above configuration is shown in FIG.
a). This will be explained with reference to (b).

Figure 3(a). (b) is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the present invention.

First, FIG. 3(a) is a display example of the display device l4.

As shown in the figure, the display device 14 is provided with two areas: a registration information display area 50 that displays registration information (transfer destination information), and a content display area 5l that displays the contents of the transfer card.

In the registration information display area 50, for example, along with a guide to input the name of the bank to which the transfer is to be made and the name of the branch, the bank name, branch name, etc. input according to the guide are displayed.

The content display area 51 is an area where the processing status of the processor 11 is displayed using recognition symbols.

This content display area 5l is provided with first to third items 52 to 54 corresponding to each storage area of the transfer card. The first item 52 is an area for displaying the processing status related to the first area of the transfer card, and similarly the second and third items 52
3.54 is an area for displaying the processing status regarding the second and third areas of the transfer card.

Now, FIG. 3(b) shows the contents of the correspondence table 35 when numerical values are used as recognition symbols.

The processing status corresponding to the recognition symbol "■" indicates a state in which the processor 11 has not secured data to be stored in the transfer card. The processing status corresponding to the recognition symbol ゜“■゛゜ indicates that the processor 11 is executing the process of storing the transfer destination data on the transfer card.The processing status corresponding to the recognition symbol “■” is as follows. This indicates a state in which data storage in the transfer card has been completed.The processing status corresponding to the recognition symbol "■" indicates a state in which the processor 11 requests correction of data stored in the transfer card. .The processing status corresponding to the recognition symbol “■” is
This indicates the state in which the transfer card can store data. Now, returning to FIG. 1, when the processor 11 writes the transfer destination information in the first area of a new transfer card, the situation recognition means 31 writes the transfer destination information in the first area of the transfer card. It is recognized that the input, second and third areas are in a state where data can be stored. Therefore, the recognition symbol display control means 32 refers to the correspondence table 35 and displays the recognition symbol "■" (
Symbol indicating non-input state) 2nd and 3rd items 53.5
Display control is performed to display a recognition symbol "■" (a symbol indicating a write-enabled state on a magnetic card) in each of the 4 and 4 columns. Thereafter, the transfer destination data is input from the data input device 13, and when the processor 11 determines that there is no input error, it drives the card writing device 20 to perform a process of storing the transfer destination data in the first area of the transfer card. At this time, the situation recognition means 31 recognizes that the transfer destination data is being stored in the first area of the transfer card. As a result, the recognition symbol display control means 32 refers to the correspondence table 35 and performs display control to display ゜“■゜゛ (symbol indicating the inputting status) in the l-th item 52 of the content display area 51. Note that when the processor 11 determines that the input data is incorrect, the situation recognition means 3l recognizes the correction of the input data.As a result, the recognition symbol display control means 32 refers to the correspondence table 35 and displays the recognition symbol "■". ” (a symbol indicating the status of the input correction request) is displayed in the first item 52.

Now, when the storage of the transfer destination data in the first area of the transfer card is completed, the situation recognition means 31 recognizes the completion of data storage. As a result, the recognition symbol display control means 32 refers to the correspondence table 35 and performs display control to display the recognition symbol "■" (a symbol indicating the input completion state) in the first item 52.

The process described above is also executed when the transfer destination data is stored in the second and third areas of the transfer card.

Here, when it is attempted to store the transfer destination data in the third area of the transfer card, it is assumed that the area is insufficient.

In this case, the processor 11 stops storing the transfer destination data. Therefore, the third area of the transfer card is freed up for writing new information.

In this case, the situation recognition means 31 recognizes that the third area of the transfer card can store transfer destination data. Therefore, the recognition symbol display control means 32 refers to the correspondence table 35 and performs display control to display the recognition symbol "■" on the display device 14.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart according to the present invention.

First, the recognition symbol display control means 32 of the processor 11 changes the display of the first to third display items 52 to 54 to the recognition symbol "■".
(Step SL).

Then, a recognition symbol "■" is displayed in the first display item 52 (step S2). Thereafter, transfer destination data is input from the data input device 13 (step S3). Then, it is checked whether the input transfer data conforms to a predetermined format (step S4).
If the result of step S4 is OK, the recognition symbol display control means 32 displays the recognition symbol ゜゜■'' in the first item 52 (step S5), and stores the transfer destination data previously input on the transfer card. (Step S6). If the result is OK, the recognition symbol display control means 32 displays the recognition symbol "■" in the first display item 52 (Step S7). When a data storage instruction is issued by the data input device 13 at this point, the processor 11 drives the card writing device 20 to perform a process of storing the transfer destination data on the transfer card.

Thereafter, similar processing is performed for the second and third areas of the transfer card.

Incidentally, if an NG determination is made in step S4, the recognition symbol display control means 32 displays a recognition symbol "■" in the first item 52, and returns to step S3. Also,
If a negative determination is made in step S6, step S7 is omitted and the process moves on to other items.

The processing status display control device of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. In the embodiment, the case where the transfer destination data is stored in the transfer card has been described, but the processing is not particularly limited as long as the same processing is performed repeatedly. Further, although the explanation has been given using numerical values as an example of the recognition symbol, the recognition symbol may be, for example, a mark depicting a certain processing operation.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the processing status display device of the present invention, since no guidance is provided using long words, the display area of the display device and the data storage area for display are limited. I never receive it. Furthermore, since recognition symbols are used that allow the user to visually grasp the processing status, the processing status can be easily and instantaneously grasped.
