From the above, according to the inspection result of the connection state,
The CPU 21 lights up the light-emitting element 37A to indicate that the A-device is not connected, and lights up the light-emitting element 37A in red to indicate that the A-device is connected and is in the A-machine communication abnormal state. It means that the A-device connection is present, the A-device communication is normal, and the A-device is occupied.
The machine communication is in a normal state, and neither the A-machine occupied state nor the B-machine occupied state indicates that the light emitting element 37A blinks in yellow green to indicate that the A machine is connected and the A machine communication is in a normal state and the A machine is occupied. It is informed respectively that it is not in the state and is in the occupied state of the aircraft B.

Similarly, when the light emitting element 37B is turned off, the B machine is not connected, and when the light emitting element 37B is lit in red, the B machine is connected and the B machine communication is in an abnormal state. When 37B is lit in orange, the B machine is connected, the B machine communication is normal, and the B machine is occupied. When the light emitting element 37B is lit in yellow green, the B machine is connected and the B machine is in communication. It is in the normal state, and it is neither in the B-machine occupied state nor in the A-machine occupied state. The light emitting element 37B blinks in yellow green to indicate that the B-machine is connected and the B-machine communication is in the normal state. Instead, each is informed that the Aircraft A is occupied. As a result of the above, when both of the window processing machines 10A and 10B are in a communication normal state with a connection state capable of performing a normal transaction operation, the CPU 21 causes both the window processing machines 10A and 10B to cash. When not in the occupied state for performing the transaction operation with the processor 11, the left and right light emitting elements 37A, 3A of the operation unit 25

When either one of 0B is in the occupied state for performing the transaction operation with the cash processing machine 11, the window processing machines 37A, 37A, 3
7B, one of the light emitting elements 37A, 37B provided corresponding to one in the occupied state is controlled to light yellow green, and the light emitting element provided corresponding to the other not occupied by the window processing machines 10A, 10B. The other of 37A and 37B is controlled to blink in yellow green.

As described above, according to this connection state confirmation device, the CPU 21 inspects the connection state of the cash processing machine 11 with each of the window processing machines 10A and 10B, and the cash processing machine according to the inspection result. The emission colors and the partial emission states of the light emitting elements 37A and 37B provided on the left and right of the operation unit 25 of 11 are changed. Therefore, it is possible to easily and surely recognize which connection state the cash processing machine 11 can be used with, and which of the window processing machines 10A and 10B can be used. The light emitting elements 37A, 37
It is also possible to use only the change in the emission color without using the combination of the emission states of B.

Further, the CPU 21 checks the connection state of the cash processing machine 11 with each of the counter processing machines 10A and 10B.
Presence / absence of connection (whether there is connection or not)
And whether or not there is a communication error at the time of confirming the connection (whether the communication is in a normal state or a communication abnormal state), and which of the window processing machines 10A and 10B is used to perform a transaction operation with the cash processing machine 11. It is also necessary to perform an inspection as to whether or not it is in a state, and change the emission colors of the light emitting elements 37A and 37B provided on the left and right of the operation unit 25 of the cash processing machine 11 according to the inspection result. Therefore, for example, the cash processing machine 1
When 1 is connected to either one of the window processors 10A and 10B and a communication error occurs and the device cannot be used, the occurrence of the communication error can be easily and reliably recognized. Further, it is possible to easily and surely recognize which of the window processing machines 10A and 10B is in the occupied state for performing the transaction operation with the cash processing machine 11.

In addition, the CPU 21 controls the window processor 10
When neither A nor 10B is occupied to occupy the cash processing machine 11, both the light emitting elements 37A and 37B are turned on in yellow green, and when either one of the window processing machines 10A and 10B is occupied, the occupancy occurs. One of the light emitting elements 37A and 37B provided corresponding to the one in the state is turned on in yellow green, and the other of the light emitting elements 37A and 37B is blinked in yellow green. Therefore, when the light emitting elements 37A and 37B blink and light yellowish green, the window processors 10A and 1A
It is possible to more easily and surely recognize which of 0B is in the occupied state for performing the transaction operation with the cash processing machine 11.

Further, light emitting elements 37A, 37B capable of switching multicolor emission by one are used, and each light emitting element 37A, 37B is used as a start button 36A, 36B for instructing the start of operation of the cash processing machine 11. Since it is built in, it is possible to eliminate an arrangement space for only the light emitting elements 37A and 37B. Of course, if you can afford the space,
A light-emitting element that can switch multicolor emission with one can be placed outside the start button, and in this case as well, the space required for arrangement is smaller than when a single-color light-emitting element is placed outside the start button. It can be reduced. Of course,
If there is more room in the arrangement space, a large number of monochromatic light emitting elements having different emission colors may be arranged outside the start button.
