BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an input device for data input, an automatic transaction device for automatic transaction, and a display control method therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automated equipment used by an unspecified number of users has been developed. For example, a bank terminal that deposits cash instead of a bank counter, a so-called automatic transaction device (AT)
M), an automatic ticket vending machine that sells railway tickets, an automatic commuter ticket issuing machine that issues commuter passes, a map guidance system that guides the destination, a library search system for libraries, etc.
It is used as a social system.

[0003] A common problem of these automation devices is a means for interacting with the system, that is, an input device. As the functions of the automated equipment become higher, input items become more complicated, and consideration for the weak, such as the disabled and the elderly, has become a major issue.

[0004] Looking at the progress of automation equipment up to now, a push-button switch was used as an input device at an early stage. The function of the button is displayed by a label or the like assigned to the push button, and the operator presses the corresponding button to make a selection. The function of the button is fixed, and when the function is changed, the label is changed or a new button is added. Also, for the visually impaired, a Braille label is attached near the push button for convenience.

[0005] In the current automation equipment, a contact-type input device used in combination with a liquid crystal display or a CRT display is mainly used. A sheet (generally called a touch panel) that detects the position of the screen touched by a finger or the like by an operator is pasted on a liquid crystal display or the like. (Light) method is known.

The resistance sheet system and the capacitance system detect the position of the contact or pressing based on a change in electric resistance or a change in capacitance when an operator's finger or the like contacts or presses the sheet. It is. The infrared (light) method detects a position by blocking an infrared beam running in a matrix with an operator's fingertip or the like (accurately, it is a non-contact type, but is collectively called a contact type here). . In any of the methods, the user can select a selection item displayed on the screen with a fingertip and interact with the system.

The advantage of these contact-type input devices is that complicated input items are displayed on a plurality of variable screens, and items can be easily selected from among them. In this case, the display data and the internal input data can be easily changed. There is also an advantage that easy operability can be provided to a user who has resistance to keyboard and button operations. The functions of advanced automation systems have become more sophisticated and complicated, and it is difficult to realize the systems without using such contact-type input devices.
