2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, banks and the like have installed automatic transaction machines that can automatically perform transactions such as deposits, payments, and transfers. With such an automatic transaction device, bankbook entries can also be made during various transactions. That is, the processing in this type of device is as follows. first,
The customer selects a transaction such as deposit, payment, or transfer, and sets data corresponding to each transaction. Thereafter, when the customer presses the confirmation button, the automatic transaction device communicates with the center. Then, the automatic transaction device performs processes such as printing a bankbook and counting banknotes based on instructions from the center. After this process is finished,
Media such as cards, receipts, passbooks, banknotes, etc. are handed over to customers by automated transaction devices. This completes one transaction.

[0003] In such transactions, it is also possible to just record the receipt without having to record it in a bankbook. In this case, the data recorded in the passbook is stored in the host computer at the center. Thereafter, when a transaction involving bankbook entry is performed, all the bookkeeping data stored in the host computer is printed on the bankbook. However, when there is a large amount of unrecorded data, printing of the passbook may take a long time to complete in transactions that involve entry into the passbook, which may cause problems with customer service. There is a way to stop the automatic transaction device from making bankbook entries during certain hours. In this case, bankbook entries are made at a counter through a bank employee.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-mentioned conventional technology has the following problems. That is, when transaction processing by an automated teller machine involves bankbook entry, the process does not end until all printing of the bankbook is completed. Therefore, when there is a large amount of unrecorded data printed on the passbook, it takes a long time to complete the process. In such a case, even if the customer wanted to end the transaction quickly, the transaction could not be completed, posing a problem in terms of service to the customer. Furthermore, if the automatic transaction device does not perform any bankbook entry, the customer has to go to the counter, which again poses a problem in terms of service to the customer. The present invention has been made with attention to the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for canceling printing of a passbook in an automatic transaction device that allows a customer to terminate transaction processing according to his/her own will.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the passbook printing abort method in the automatic transaction device of the present invention, the customer sets a bookkeeping abort key to instruct the customer to abort printing while the bookkeeping data received from the host computer is being printed. Each time the bookkeeping data received from the host computer is printed on a passbook, it is determined whether the bookkeeping abort key has been pressed, and if the bookkeeping abort key has not been pressed, the host computer is instructed to do the following: The present invention is characterized in that when the transmission of bookkeeping data is requested and the bookkeeping abort key is pressed, a request is made to the host computer to abort the bankbook entry.

[0006]

[Operation] According to the passbook printing abort method in the automatic transaction device of the present invention, the bookkeeping abort key for the customer to instruct to abort the printing while the bookkeeping data received from the host computer is being printed is located on the customer operation screen. etc. is set. Each time the bookkeeping data received from the host computer is printed on the passbook, it is determined whether the bookkeeping abort key has been pressed. If the bookkeeping termination key is not pressed, a request to send the next bookkeeping data is issued to the host computer. On the other hand, when the bookkeeping abort key is pressed, a request to abort the bankbook entry is issued to the host computer. In response, the host computer instructs the automated teller machine to finish printing, thereby ending the bankbook entry.
