FIG. 1 shows a variable display panel 50 for blind persons and ten buttons 51 used in the automatic terminal system of the present invention.
It is an external view of A-51J. Variable display panel 5 for the blind
0 is Braille, 50 characters wide x 10 lines (50A-50J)
There is a size of minutes. The buttons 51A to 51J are located near the right side of the blind variable display panel 50, and ten buttons are arranged vertically. The uppermost button 51A corresponds to the first row 50A of the blind variable display panel 50. The second button 51B corresponds to the second row 50B of the blind variable display panel 50. Similarly, the remaining buttons 51C to 51
J is the third line 50C of the variable display panel 50 for the blind
It corresponds to the 10th line to 50J.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the blind variable display panel 50. Braille is a matrix of 2 horizontal and 3 vertical, totaling 6
It is composed of a set of points, each of which is a set. Each Braille character is expressed by variously changing the combination of the protruding point and the stored point by the operation of the microminiature actuator 50a.

Next, a method of driving the variable display panel for the blind will be described. As described above, since the braille is composed of six dots as one set, it is possible to display the braille with six actuators as one set. As this drive circuit, for example, a circuit for driving a 7seg LED, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-18395, can be applied. Therefore, in this embodiment, this 7segLE is used.
The D drive circuit is connected to one set, that is, six actuators. This 7seg LED drive circuit is 50x1
0 = 500 circuits are prepared, and an address is assigned to each of them to form a variable display panel drive circuit 55 for blind persons. As for the address, the upper left is address 0, the right is address 1, and the right is address 2. ． ． I will allocate it.
The address at the bottom right is the address 499.

An address is designated to this circuit, and 6 bits are specified.
If you give the data of 6
Each actuator moves according to 6-bit data (hereinafter, this 6-bit data is referred to as Braille data).
6 bits given to the variable display panel drive circuit 55 for blind persons
The correspondence between the Braille data of 6 and the six actuators is as shown in FIG. That is, if the bit is 1, the actuator is projected, and if the bit is 0, the actuator is retracted.

Therefore, when it is desired to display the fourth line from the left and the second line from the top, that is, the coordinates (X, Y) = (3,1) as "123" in Braille, first, the coordinates (3,1) are set. , A variable display panel drive circuit 5 for blind persons using a program having a well-known algorithm (y coordinate x width + x coordinate)
5 is converted into a drive address 53 which is a corresponding address. For the character string "123", the shift JIS code is 8250H, 8251H, 8252H.
(Each hexadecimal number) and processed by the CPU 13. Therefore, the hard disk memory 17 stores each character code (shift JIS) and Braille data for each character code in a paired format. Specifically, when "123" is expressed in Braille, it becomes as shown in FIG. 6. Therefore, if this is used as Braille data as shown in FIG. 5, "1" is 0FH, 20H, and "2" is 0FH, 30H. , "3" is 0
It becomes FH and 90H. This is stored in the hard disk as shown in FIG.

17C1 in FIG. 7 is a shift JIS of "1"
The code, 17C2, is a Braille code of "1". Similarly, 17C3 is "2" shift JIS code, 17C
4 is "2" Braille code, 17C5 is "3" shift J
The IS code, 17C6, is a Braille code of "3". With reference to this stored content, the character string "123" is
Easy 0FH, 20H, 0FH, 30H, 0FH, 90
Since it can be converted into Braille data of H, 0FH may be sent to the drive address 53 of the variable display panel drive circuit 55 for blind persons calculated from the coordinates, and 20H may be sent to the drive address address 54 which is the next address. . Similarly, if Braille data is sent one after another, from the coordinates (X, Y) = (3,1) of the variable display panel 51 for blind persons, as shown in FIG.
Is displayed in the street.

Next, a method of using the variable display panel 50 for the blind and the buttons 51A to 51J will be described. As described above, each row 50A of the variable display panel 50 for the blind
One button 51A to 50J corresponds to 50J. So, for example, when issuing a resident's card, if you want the user to select who in the family's resident's card is needed, "If the person is found, click the button to the right of the line. "Please press", the blind person reads the family name displayed in one line from the next line, and when the name of the person who wants to obtain a resident card is found, click the button on the right side of that line. Just press it. In this case, in the present embodiment, the family name can be displayed only up to 9, but the contents of the bottom line are "display the name of the next inhabitant",
If it is selected, the name of the next inhabitant will be displayed again, so that even if there are virtually infinite inhabitants, it can be selected.

Next, the operation of the certificate automatic issuing machine 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
