DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail according to embodiments. FIG. 2 shows an apparatus configuration of the automatic teller machine 2 having the present invention.

As shown in this figure, the automatic teller machine 2 equipped with the present invention can be configured in the same manner as the prior art, without changing the numeric keypad / "man" key / "thousand" key /
An amount input screen 21 having an "yen" key or the like as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the display 20, and an amount information input program 21 for inputting amount information by interacting with the user, and an input of the amount information input program 21 Cash handling mechanism 22 that executes a cash deposit payment process according to the amount information to be paid
And

Here, the amount information input program 21
It will be installed via a floppy disk or line. 4 and 5 show an embodiment of a processing flow executed by the amount information input program 21 to realize the present invention. Next, the present invention will be described in detail according to this processing flow.

When the user inputs a key after confirming the password input, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 4 and FIG.
Then, "0" is set to a variable N for storing the input amount,
"1" is set to a variable X for storing a unit amount to be assigned to the input of the "man" key / "thousand" key, and "0" is set to a variable n for storing the data being input on the ten keys.

Subsequently, in step 2, a key input from the user is checked. In this check process, if the "yen" key for inputting the amount information is suddenly input, processing such as rejecting it is performed, and the denomination key such as the "10,000" key or the "1000" key To see if it has been entered immediately. In the prior art,
When the "man" key or the "thousand" key is suddenly input, the processing configuration is not accepted. However, the present invention employs the processing configuration for accepting the key as described with reference to FIG. In this step 2, it is checked whether the "man" key or the "thousand" key has been suddenly input.

When it is determined in step 2 that the denomination key is suddenly input by the user, the flow advances to step 3 to determine whether the input denomination key is the "ten" key or "thousand". Judge whether it is the key, "10,000"
If it is determined that the key is a key, the process proceeds to step 4 where “X × 10000 (= 1000
0) ”is set, and when it is determined that the key is the“ thousand ”key, the process proceeds to step 5 where“ X × 1 ”is set for the variable N.
000 (= 1000) ".

That is, if the "man" key is suddenly input without the ten keys being input,
It is assumed that 10,000 yen has been input, and if the "1000" key is suddenly input, it is assumed that 1,000 yen has been input.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 2 that the numeric keypad has been input by the user, the process proceeds to step 6
Then, the input data is stored in the variable n. Step 5
When the process of step 6 is completed, the process proceeds to step 7 and waits for a key input from the user. If there is a key input from the user, the process proceeds to step 8 to check the key input. In this check process, if a numeric keypad with more than the maximum number of digits has been entered, processing such as rejecting it will be performed, and whether a "ten thousand" key, a "thousand" key, or a "yen" key has been entered. Check if not.

When it is determined in step 8 that the numeric keypad has been input from the user, the process proceeds to step 9 where the value of the variable n is multiplied by 10 and the value of the variable n0 for storing the currently input numeric keypad. Are added to carry out the carry of the input data, and then return to step 7.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 8 that the "yen" key has been input by the user, the flow advances to step 10 to add the value of the variable N and the value of the variable n to reduce the input amount. The processing is terminated after confirmation.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 8 that a denomination key has been input by the user, step 1
In step 12 (FIG. 5), it is determined whether the input denomination key is the "ten" key or the "thousand" key. Then, it is determined whether or not the input data stored in the variable n is “0”.

When it is determined in step 12 that the data being input is "0", the flow advances to step 13 to calculate "X.times.10000 (= 10000)" and to add it to the value of the variable N. The value is obtained, the value of the variable N is updated according to the added value, and "0" is set to the variable n. Then, the process returns to step 7 to accept the next key input. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 12 that the data being input is not "0", the flow advances to step 14 to calculate "nx10000", obtain an added value of the calculated value and the value of the variable N, and calculate the added value. After updating the value of the variable N according to the value and setting "0" to the variable n, the process returns to the step 7 to accept the next key input.

That is, if the "0" key is input before the "10,000" key is input,
It is assumed that 10,000 yen has been input, and if a numeric keypad other than the “0” key has been input before that, “nx1”
0000 "is input.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 11 that the input denomination key is the "thousand" key, the process proceeds to step 15 (the processing flow of FIG. 5), and the input is stored in the variable n. It is determined whether the data is "0".

When it is determined in step 15 that the input data is "0", the flow advances to step 16 to calculate "X.times.1000 (= 1000)", and to add it to the value of the variable N. The value is obtained, the value of the variable N is updated according to the added value, and "0" is set to the variable n. Then, the process returns to step 7 to accept the next key input. On the other hand, when it is determined in step 15 that the data being input is not "0", the process proceeds to step 17, in which "nx1000" is calculated, and an added value of the calculated value and the value of the variable N is obtained. After updating the value of the variable N according to the value and setting “0” to the variable n,
The process returns to step 7 to accept the next key input.

That is, when the "0" key is input before the "1000" key is input,
It is assumed that 1,000 yen has been entered, and if a numeric keypad other than the “0” key has been entered before that, “nx1”
000 ".

As described above, in the automatic teller machine 2 provided with the present invention, when the "tens" key is operated irrespective of the numeric keypad, the "tens" key is operated following the "0" key. When the "1000" key is operated irrespective of the numeric keypad, and when the "1000" key is operated following the "0" key, the input is 10,000 yen. is there.

FIG. 6 shows a list of a key input check process executed by the automatic teller machine 2 having the present invention, and FIG. 7 shows a key input check executed by the conventional automatic teller machine. 4 shows a list of processes.

Here, it is assumed that a maximum amount of seven digits is input. From now on, in the automatic teller machine 2 equipped with the present invention, the ten keys which can be input after pressing the "man" key are four digits. Or, the conventional key input check process, such as three-digit numeric keys that can be entered after pressing the "thousand" key, is executed. However, the difference from the conventional technology is that the "ten thousand" key is operated regardless of the numeric keypad. When the “0” key is operated following the “0” key, it is considered that 10,000 yen has been input. When the “1000” key is operated regardless of the numeric keypad, the “0” key is displayed. When the “thousand” key is operated after the key, it may be considered that 1,000 yen has been input.

According to this configuration, if it is the prior art, (5 key) → (3 key) → (0 key) → (0 key) →
(0 key) → (yen key) or (5 key) → (10,000 keys) → (3 keys) → (1000 keys) →
(Yen key) to input 53,000 yen,
According to the present invention, in addition to this input method, for example, (10,000 keys) → (10,000 keys) → (10,000 keys) → (10,000 keys) →
(Thousand keys) (Thousand keys) → (Thousand keys) → (Thousand keys) → (Yen key) By inputting, 53,000 yen can be input.

In addition to the method of designating the amount of money as described in this embodiment, a twelve-yen bill
There is also a method of designating the amount by designating the number of denominations, such as the number of denominations.

The present invention can be applied to such a method of designating the amount of money. In other words, if the "10,000" key is input, it is regarded that one 10,000 yen bill is input, and if the "1,000" key is input,
The input operation can be improved by regarding the input of one thousand yen bill as one.

The present invention has been described with reference to the illustrated embodiments.
The present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the embodiment, the present invention has been described according to the application example to the automatic teller machine 2, but the present invention is not limited to the automatic teller machine 2.
