Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a key-operated device such as a touch key used in, for example, an automatic transaction machine.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in automatic transaction machines, when a customer selects a transaction or inputs a personal identification number, the customer uses a numeric keypad or the like. However, in recent years, in order to enable multi-item transactions, information such as transaction selection is displayed on a display such as a CRT. Automatic transaction devices that input

However, with touch keys as described above, the input method is to press the top of the display information screen of a display means such as a CRT, which is less familiar to customers than with conventional numeric keys, etc. There was a problem in that it was not easy to confirm whether the intended key was pressed.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a key-operated device that can reliably notify the segment for which the key has been manually input.

[Summary of the invention]

In this invention, when segment information is input, the color of image information corresponding to the segment is changed for a predetermined period of time. Refer to and explain.

FIG. 1 schematically shows the configuration of a key manual device of the present invention used in automatic teller machines and the like. That is, l
2 is a CRT display section for guiding customer operations; 2 is a CR
A touch key segment array arranged on the screen of the T display section 1 for inputting information from the customer; 3 a CRT control section for controlling the CRT display section 1; 4 storing characters necessary for display. 5 is a touch key sense circuit for sensing the presence or absence of a key being touched (depressed); 6 is a control section for controlling the CRT control section 3 and the touch key sense circuit 5; be.

The above-mentioned CRT display unit 1 displays an example of the display shown in FIG. 2 when a customer is waiting.

In FIG. 2, reference numerals 8 to 17 are parts of touch key segments composed of transparent electrode pairs.
Upper O display: It is arranged in association with the 4-line (image information such as transfer, transfer, etc.). For example, as the transaction item selection display section, the "transfer, transfer" display section 18, "
Place the CRT so that the "Deposit" display section 19, "Payment" display section 20, "Balance inquiry" display section 21.1 and "Passbook included" display section 22 overlap the touch key segments 8, 10, 12° 13. It is designed to be displayed on the display section 1. The packs on the CRT display section 1 are displayed in black, the characters are displayed in white, and the packs on each selection display section 18 to 22 are displayed in blue.

Further, when the control unit 6 determines the human power on the keys based on the output from the touch key sense circuit 5, it controls the CRT control unit 3 to change the color of the pack in the corresponding selection display unit from blue to green. It has become. This change display is performed for a period of about one second, for example, until the operation moves to the next step.

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 the operation guidance text for transaction selection, ``Welcome, please specify your transaction using the button below'', and also displays the text ``Transfer, Transfer,''``Deposit,'' and ``Deposit.'' Selection display sections 18 to 22 such as "Payment", "Balance Inquiry", and "Passbook Included" 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. According to this, the control unit 6
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 3 to change the color of the corresponding pack in the "Payment" display section 2o from blue to green. You can confirm that you have selected a withdrawal transaction by pressing ゜.

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 illustration of card insertion. 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 unit 6 via the touch key sense circuit 5.

Accordingly, the control unit 6 determines whether the PIN numbers match or not. If they do not match, the PIN code is re-inserted. If they match, the CR7 display unit 1 displays "Amount of Money" as shown in FIG. Please enter the following on 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 unit 6 via the touch key sense circuit 6. Thereby, the control unit 6 determines the withdrawal amount, performs withdrawal processing such as online communication and withdrawal operation, and ends the transaction.

By the way, when selecting the above transaction type, if the transaction is not the one the customer intended, that is, if the display color of the "Deposit" display section 19 changes when the customer presses down the "Payment" display section 20, When the incorrect input is recognized and the next display on CR7 display section 1 (3rd display, (...ffl) K, J[11
-'& press 1 6.00ゝ erase "-1 A signal from the corresponding touch key segment 12 is supplied to the control unit 6 via the touch key sense circuit 5. Thereby, the control unit 6 It is determined that the transaction has been canceled, and the display on the CR7 display section 1 is returned to the transaction selection display state (see FIG. 2).

Therefore, the customer can immediately recognize when such an erroneous input or erroneous operation has occurred, and can easily re-enter the information.

As mentioned above, since the display color of the display image information corresponding to the segment information is changed, customers can
It is possible to recognize the human power of the accepted key, and it is also easy to re-enter in the event of an erroneous operation, providing good operability and allowing transaction processing to proceed smoothly.

In the above embodiment, when selecting a transaction item, the color of the pack on the selected display section was changed from blue to green, but the color combination is not limited to this and any combination of colors may be used. Instead of changing the text, the color of the text may be changed. Alternatively, other displays such as a numeric keypad may be selected.

Furthermore, when a transaction item is selected, as shown in FIG. 6, the color of the selected display section may be changed and the display of other selection display sections may be turned off.

Further, although the present invention is used in an automatic transaction device such as an automatic teller machine, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be used in other devices that utilize a touch panel.

〔Effect of the invention〕
