When the key is pressed, the ATM display screen becomes a screen for designating the initials of the financial institution in which the transfer destination account exists, as shown in FIG.

On the display screen shown in FIG. 18, the "50 syllabary" key for inputting the reading (one sound) to specify the initials of the financial institution name, and the case where the wrong key is pressed, etc. A "cancel" key for canceling the input process is displayed and provided. To specify the initials of the financial institution name, for example, the financial institution name is "Umi Bank"
If it is, the "U" key, which is the acronym for "Umibank", is pressed out of the "Japanese syllabary" keys.

When the initial letter of the financial institution name is designated, the ATM display screen becomes a screen for displaying a list of financial institution names having the same reading as the designated initial letter.
In FIG. 18, when the "U" key, which is the acronym for "Umibank", is pressed, the ATM display screen is
For example, as shown in FIG. 19, a screen displaying a list of financial institution names whose initial letters are "U" is displayed.

On this display screen, the display portion of each financial institution name is the "financial institution name" for selecting the transfer destination financial institution.
Key (ie "Umi Bank" key, "Ueki Bank" key,
It functions as the "Space Bank" key and the "Mamabashi Bank" key). A "cancel" key for canceling the input process on the display screen is also provided. On the screen displaying such a list of financial institution names, the user selects the financial institution name by pressing the "financial institution name" key corresponding to the financial institution name where the transfer destination account exists. For example, when selecting "Umi Bank" as the financial institution, the "Umi Bank" key is pressed.

Subsequently, the branch name of the financial institution in which the transfer destination account exists is selected by the same procedure (method) as the selection of the financial institution name described above.

[0010]

However, for example, when the name of the financial institution in which the account of the transfer destination exists is "Upper and lower banks", the reading should be "Uesita-ginkou", "jougeginkou", etc. Can be considered. For this reason, if the correct reading is "Uesita Ginkgo," unless you specify "U" as the initial reading of the financial institution name,
If "Upper and lower banks" is not displayed on the screen that displays the list of financial institution names, and if the correct reading is "Jorgeginko", specify "Si" as the initial reading of the financial institution name.

As described above, when selecting a financial institution name or a branch name in which plural readings are possible, if the correct reading of the financial institution name or the branch name is not known, the financial institution name or the branch name will not be read. Since the initials cannot be specified correctly, this financial institution name or branch name cannot be displayed on the screen displaying the list of financial institution names or branch names, and the name of the financial institution where the transfer destination account exists. Another problem is that the branch name cannot be selected.

[0012] For example, "Umayabashi Bank"
When selecting a financial institution name or branch name that is difficult to read like in, the user cannot specify the initials of the financial institution name or branch name because the user does not know the reading at all, and the transfer destination account exists. It may not be possible to select the name of the financial institution or branch name to be used. The present invention was devised in view of such problems, and when performing a transfer transaction, etc., even if you do not know the correct reading of the financial institution name or branch name, the name of the financial institution where the transfer destination account, etc. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic transaction device that enables selection of business partner information such as a branch name, improves convenience for users of financial institutions, and eventually contributes to increasing customer acquisition at financial institutions. .
