Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform a misoperation to an operator with a key input device of an automatic transaction device, etc., by displaying with blinking the picture information corresponding to segments when plural pieces of adjacent information are supplied at a time. CONSTITUTION:Touch key segment arrays 2 are arranged on the screen of a CRT display part 1 of a key input device of an automatic transaction device. While transaction type selection/display parts 18-22 are displayed on a CRT screen with superposition on the positions of transparent touch key segments 8-17. If the ''deposit'' display parts 19 and 20 are pushed at a time by mistake instead of an adjacent ''payment'' display part 20 in a selection mode for transaction type, the signals sent from the corresponding touch key segments 11 and 12 are supplied to a control part 6 via a touch key sense circuit 5 for decision of a malfunction. Thus both parts 19 and 20 are blinked to display the generation of a malfunction as soon as a display for request of a reinput is carried out.

° The CRT display section 1 displays a display example as shown in FIG. 2 when a customer is waiting.

In FIG. 2, numerals 8 to 17 are part of a touch key segment composed of transparent electrode pairs, and are arranged in correspondence with display locations (image information such as transfers, transfers, etc.) on the CRT screen. It looks like this. For example, the transaction type selection display section includes a "transfer, transfer" display section 18, a "deposit" display section 19, a "payment" display section 20, a "balance inquiry" display section 2, and a "passbook included" display section 22. are displayed on the CRT display unit 1 so as to overlap touch key segments 8, 10, 12°, 13.15, respectively. The packs on the CRT display section 1 are displayed in black, the characters are displayed in white, and the characters on each selection display section 18 to 22 are displayed in blue.

Further, when the control unit 6 determines the human power of a plurality of adjacent keys based on the output from the touch key sense circuit 5,
By controlling the T-control section 3, a plurality of corresponding selection display sections are made to blink, giving an instruction to re-enter the key manually.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, if an automated teller machine is currently waiting for a customer,
The control unit 6 displays on the screen of the CRT display unit 1 an operation guide text 1 for transaction selection, ``Welcome, please specify the type of transaction using the button below'', and also displays ``transfer, transfer,'' `` Selection display sections 18 to 22 such as "Deposit", "Payment", "Balance Inquiry", and "Includes 1 Passbook" are displayed.

In this state, when the customer touches the "payment" display section 20 with his or her hand, this means that the touch key segment 12 has been touched. Then, a signal from this touch key segment 12 is supplied to the control section 6 via the touch key sense circuit 5. As a result, the control section 6 causes the "payment" display section 20
It is determined that the button has been pressed and a withdrawal transaction has been selected. At this time, the control section 6 controls the CRT control section 3f to change the background of the corresponding "payment" display section 20 from blue to green. Kogoyoshi, the customer is
By pressing the "Payment" display section 20, it can be confirmed that a withdrawal transaction has been selected.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the control section 6 causes the CRT display section 1 to display the message "Please insert the card into the card insertion slot" and a cancellation key, as well as an instruction for inserting the card. Based on this guidance, the control unit 6 determines that the card has been inserted into the card insertion slot (not shown).
When the controller 6 determines that the CRT
The display section 1 displays a text guide saying "Please enter your password using the numeric keypad below" and displays the numeric keypad.

Next, the customer inputs his/her PIN number by pressing down on the area where the numeric keypad is displayed, following the instructions. A signal from the touch key segment 12 due to input of the password is supplied to the control section 6 via the key sense circuit 5 in the evening.

Accordingly, the control unit 6 determines whether the PIN numbers match or not. If they do not match, the PIN code is re-entered. If they match, the CRT display unit 1 displays the amount of money Please enter the following using the numeric keypad below and press the yen button at the end.'' At the same time, the numeric keypad, amount key, and yen key are displayed. Next, the customer inputs the withdrawal amount by pressing down on the displayed part of the numeric keypad or the like according to the instructions. A signal from the touch key segment 12 due to the insertion of this amount of money is supplied to the control section 6 via the touch key sense circuit 5.
