The digging 43 is formed, and a shock absorbing sheet 44 for absorbing a shock when a part of the wheelchair collides is provided on an inner surface of the digging 43. The height of the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 is set to, for example, 130 so that a user in a wheelchair can use it easily.
cm.

Above the touch panel described above,
An operation display 10 for displaying whether the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 is in a usable state or in an unusable state is provided.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the automatic certificate issuing machine 1
Will be described.

The automatic certificate issuing machine 1 of this embodiment operates according to a command from the CPU 13 connected to the host computer 51. The CPU 13 includes the above-described card reader 2, CRT display device 3, touch panel 4, coin sorting and collecting device (coin mech) 5, bill collecting device (bilberry) 6, and journal printer 12 for printing receipts. And a voicing device 16 for explaining the operation method by voice and the CPU 13 to operate the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 according to a predetermined process and store an operation program for issuing a certificate. Hard disk 17
A laser printer 11, a stapler 14 for binding the ends of the documents printed by the laser printer 11 when there are a plurality of documents, a signing machine 15 for marking the documents, and a certificate A RAM 19 to which an operation program for operating the automatic delivery machine 1 according to a predetermined process is loaded is connected. The program for operating the automatic certificate issuing machine 1 is a RAM from the hard disk 17
It is transferred to 19 and operates according to the program.

The automatic certificate issuing machine 1 of this embodiment is usually C
A public relations display as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the CRT display device 3 by the PU 13 (step 1, hereinafter, the step is simply referred to as S).

The CPU 13 constantly monitors whether or not the user touches the touch panel 4, and when the user touches the touch panel 4 (S2: Y), for example, a selection screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the CRT display device. 3 is displayed (S3). Then, when the user selects the desired certificate, the ID card insertion screen is displayed on the CRT display device 3 as shown in FIG. 5, for example.

Then, when the user inserts the ID card (S4), for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the personal identification number input screen is displayed on the CRT display device 3. In this case, as described above, the numerical display area 3d is located below the display area 3a of the CRT display device 3, and the polarizing plate 3b is directly attached to the CRT display device 3 so as to cover the part. The operation contents of the numerical display area by the person cannot be seen even by a third party.

When the user presses the touch panel 4 and inputs the personal identification number (S5), the CPU 1
3 is user I of the user recorded on the ID card
The D identification code and the entered personal identification number are transmitted to the host computer 51 (S6). Host computer 51
Compares the user ID identification code transmitted from the CPU 13 with the personal identification number (S7), and if the personal identification number is correct, the CPU 13 receives the data corresponding to the personal identification number from the host computer 51 (S7) and displays the CRT. The devices are made to display them (S8).

From the data, the user inputs the number of persons to be described, the number of copies to be delivered, etc. (S9), and when the fee is paid (S10), the CPU 1
3 sends a signal to the laser printer 11 to print the content to be certified (S11). The certificate desired by the user is discharged from the certificate discharge port 7, and the extraction port 8
The change and receipt are discharged from the card, and the ID card is discharged from the card insertion slot 2a (S12). After the above operation, the certificate issuance ends (S13), and the process returns to the start.

By going through the above-mentioned process, the user can enter his / her personal identification number without worrying that a third party is looking in from the side. Can be issued.

[0024]

As is apparent from the above description,
According to the input device of claim 1, when the user inputs the personal identification number, the polarizing plate is arranged so as to cover the selected item portion on the display means, so that the side of the display means is provided. It is possible to prevent the privacy of the user from being violated by being secretly viewed by a third party. Also,
According to the input device of claim 2, since the polarizing plate is directly attached to the display portion of the display means, it is possible to easily cope with individual differences in the display means and the display area. Since it is not necessary to perform complicated treatments such as fixing the touch detection means in advance, it does not take time and labor, and the cost can be further reduced.
