Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an input device in which, for example, a touch panel is provided on the surface of a liquid crystal display section.

[Technical Background of the Invention] In a conventional input device consisting of a touch panel and a liquid crystal display section, 14 liquid crystals are placed between the front glass and the back glass as the liquid crystal display section. A touch panel is provided on the top surface, consisting of a front film with transparent electrodes printed on it and a glass back surface. Thereby, the pressed position is detected by detecting that the contact resistance between the transparent electrodes between the front film and the back glass has decreased due to the pressing down of the front film.

[Problems with backlash technology] However, in the device described above, there is a gap between the front glass of the liquid crystal display and the back glass of the touch panel between the liquid crystal where the guide characters are displayed and the transparent electrode where the switch input position is. Since there are two pieces of glass, there is a possibility that the liquid crystal display section and the switch section of the touch panel may be misaligned, leading to incorrect input.

[Object of the Invention] This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an input device that can prevent erroneous input even if the user's line of sight is shifted. .

[Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is such that a touch panel whose permissible range is wider than the display is disposed on the surface of the display unit that displays operation input instructions. .

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an automatic transaction device according to the present invention. That is, a customer service operation section 203 is formed on the front surface of the housing 1. On the vertical surface 2 of this customer service operation section 203,
A magnetic card as a transaction medium that stores a pin number and account information, a passbook/card insertion slot (medium receiving slot) 3 into which a bankbook and transfer card are inserted, and a handler to indicate to customers that the transaction is being processed. A display 4, an item display 5 for displaying and guiding various types of deposits, payments, transfers, etc. that can be handled, a call button 6 for calling a staff member when the customer is unsure of how to operate, etc., a customer A coin input lower for depositing coins and a change discharge port 8 for discharging change coins to customers are provided.

In addition, the horizontal surface 9 of the customer service operation section 203 is provided with a bill insertion slot 10 for receiving change for the bills and for inserting a large number of bills to be transferred or transferred at once. 10 is provided with a door 10- which can be opened and closed.

Further, an oblique operation surface 11 is formed between the vertical surface 2 and the horizontal surface 9 of the customer service operation section 203.

This oblique operation surface 11 is provided with a display section in which a transparent touch panel (touch sensor) 13 is formed over the top surface of a liquid crystal display section 12 . This liquid crystal display unit 12 displays operating procedures and other information on the screen in the form of illustrations 1 to 1, characters, or words to guide the user.
By pressing the display area corresponding to the PIN number, amount, account number, approval, confirmation, or cancellation of the transaction, the touch panel 13 detects this and outputs a corresponding signal to the main control unit 200, which will be described later. I'll do it, F'
, y, ; key operations are performed. That is,
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the message ``Please specify transaction'' is displayed, as well as keys for instructing deposit, payment, inquiry, and transfer.

The contents and display change each time the machine operation or step status changes. Here, as described above, since the liquid crystal display section 12 and the touch panel 13 are arranged on the oblique operation surface 11, it is possible to prevent erroneous input due to parallax caused by the difference in height between the liquid crystal display section 12 and the touch panel 13. I can do it. That is, since the line of sight of the user enters the diagonal operation surface 11 almost perpendicularly, the liquid crystal display section 12 and the touch panel 13 can be mounted with their positions aligned, and alignment is easy.
Erroneous input due to parallax can also be prevented.

The liquid crystal display section 12 and the touch panel 13 are
It is constructed as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. That is, the liquid crystal display section 12 has a front glass 12a and a back glass 1.
2b, the liquid crystal 12C is connected to the panel 13, and the surface film 1
3a and a back glass 13b, the contact resistance between the X-direction transparent electrode d1 printed on the front surface of the back glass 13b and the Y-direction transparent electrode d2 printed on the back surface of the front film 13a. However, surface film 1
The pressed position is detected by detecting that it is lowered by pressing 3a.

Therefore, there is a gap between the liquid crystal 12C, which is the guide character display position, and the transparent electrodes d1, d2, which are the switch input positions.
Surface glass 12a of liquid crystal display section 12 and touch panel 13
Since there are two glasses, the back glass 13b, the display and the switch section may be misaligned depending on the mounting position of the liquid crystal display section 12 and the touch panel 13 or the position of the user's line of sight. Therefore, the liquid crystal display section 12 and the touch panel 13 are mounted on the oblique operation surface 11 perpendicularly to the user's line of sight. This allows the customer's line of sight to be directed almost perpendicularly and prevents misalignment between the display and the switch section.

For example, the transparent electrodes d1 corresponding to the display "Deposit" pressed by the user are associated with the nth to n+5th, and the transparent electrodes d2 are associated with the mth to m+3rd, and these transparent electrodes d1 , it is determined that "Deposit" has been pressed when any one of the phases of the transparent electrode d2 is pressed down. In other words, by widening the range of the transparent electrodes d1 and d2 on the touch panel 13 corresponding to the display of ``1 Deposit'', the desired input can be made correctly even if the line of sight is misaligned. .

Furthermore, between the display of "Deposit" and "Payment", there is a dead zone, that is, the n+6th transparent electrode d2, which is effective as a key but ineffective as a press, and displays "Deposit". Even if you press down between the "1 payment" displays, you will not be mistakenly entered.

FIG. 5 shows a so-called magnetic passbook P as a transaction medium according to the present invention. The cover 101 of the passbook P has columns for printing branch numbers, account numbers, customer names, etc. In addition, the above passbook P has a cover number 10.
A plurality of printed pages 104 are bound in a booklet form between 1 and the back cover 102, and each of these printed pages 1 (I
A plurality of lines of printing fields are printed on the printing surface of I. The transaction date, deposit amount, payment amount, balance, etc. for each transaction are printed in the above print column. A magnetic stripe 103 is attached to a predetermined portion of the back cover 102, and account information such as an account number and a deposit balance is stored in the magnetic stripes 1 to 103. Further, in the margin of each printed page 10/I, an optical bar mark, that is, a page mark 105 representing a true number is printed in black. The width of the passbook P when inserted is L2.

FIG. 6 shows a so-called magnetic stripe card C as a transaction medium according to the present invention.

A magnetic stripe 110 is attached to the surface of the magnetic card C, and account information such as an account number and a deposit balance is stored on this magnetic stripe 110. An embossed area 111 is provided on the surface of the magnetic card C, and a branch number, account number, customer name, etc. are embossed in this embossed area 111 so as to be convex on the surface. The width of the magnetic card C when inserted is Ll.

FIG. 7 shows a so-called transfer card T as a transaction medium according to the present invention, which is issued by this device and inserted by a customer as necessary. An arrow is printed on the surface of the transfer card T to indicate the direction of insertion, and the transfer destination printing area 1
21 and an expiration date printing area 122 are provided. The width of the transfer card T when inserted is Ll, which is the same as the width of the magnetic card C. Above transfer destination printing area 121
The bank name, branch name, account number, and name of the recipient of the payment entered by the customer are printed in Kanji. In addition, in the expiration date printing area 122, the expiration date calculated from the date when the transfer card T was issued, for example, 83-8-21, and the validity period is one year, the expiration date is 84-8-20. is now printed.

In addition, on the back of the above transfer card T, there are magnetic strips 1 to 1.
23 is pasted, and this magnetic stripe 123 contains the bank name, branch name, account number, expiration date of the transfer destination, etc. entered by the customer, as well as the payer's name, telephone number, etc. is memorized. At this time, the bank name and branch name are coded and stored using a code number assigned to each bank and branch. Furthermore, there is a hole 12/l'h'X at the end of the transfer card T to prevent incorrect insertion.
It is provided. This hole 124 for preventing erroneous insertion is made so that the transfer card T is inserted in the same direction as the magnetic card C by mistake, that is, with the back side up and the rear end of the transfer card T at the beginning, that is, the magnetic stripe 123 is in the same position as the magnetic card C. When the card is inserted in such a manner, the hole 124 for preventing erroneous insertion is set at a position corresponding to a card insertion detector (not shown). This can prevent the transfer card C from being erroneously inserted and accepted in the same direction as the magnetic card C. That is, if the transfer card T is mistakenly inserted in the same direction as the magnetic card C, the card insertion detector cannot detect that the card has been inserted due to the hole 124 for preventing incorrect insertion, and the card is accepted. Never. In this way, by providing the hole 124 in the transfer card T to prevent incorrect insertion, the card insertion detector can be placed in a different position even in devices that handle only the magnetic card C instead of the conventional transfer card T. If it is, incorrect insertion can be prevented and there is no need to specially modify the conventional device.

Furthermore, since the magnetic stripe 123 is arranged on the back side of the transfer card T, the necessary recorded information is printed over the entire surface area and made visible, so that a large amount of necessary information can be printed in a very easy-to-read manner.

It is now located in

By the way, as shown in FIG. 15, inside the housing 1 is a main control section 200 that controls the entire system and is composed of a microcomputer, a program memory, a data memory for processing various data, and the like. , said passbook・
A card unit 20, which accepts banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slot 10 and dispenses a specified amount of banknotes into the banknote insertion slot 10; a banknote deposit/withdrawal unit 202, which receives coins inserted into the coin/input lower; , a coin withdrawal section 201 that dispenses coins of a specified amount to the change outlet 8, a customer service operation section 203 comprised of the touch panel 13, etc., an attendant operation section 204 for clerks, and a transfer section necessary for transfer transactions. Information on possible financial institutions, that is, bank names, branch names, and their code numbers are recorded, for example, a bank branch name file 207 consisting of a floppy disk, the main control unit 11, and a host computer (center) not shown. A transmission control unit 206 that controls data transmission to and from the computer, and a total memory 208 that stores total information for each type of all transactions are provided.

Further, the main control section 11 is connected to a remote monitor section 205 for use by a staff member provided outside.

Next, the financial institution data file stored in the bank branch name file 207, the so-called gold and silver data file, will be explained with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. That is, this data file is divided into two large files, a dedicated file 210 and a general-purpose file 211.

The dedicated file 210 is a file specially created for each automatic transaction device, and its contents include the file 212 of the same bank as the store where the automatic transaction device is installed.
and files 21 of major other banks in the same area as that branch.
3 is memorized.

The above files 212 and 213 contain the corresponding bank data, that is, the kana code of the bank name, the kanji code, and the bank code, as well as the general-purpose file 2 corresponding to the bank.
The starting address of the bank file 216 in 11 is stored. In other words, when a customer specifies a transfer destination,
In most cases, accounts at other branches within the same bank, or in the case of other banks, major branches within the same region are selected.

Therefore, by storing the transfer destinations that are frequently specified in the automatic transaction device in the dedicated file 210, the processing time for searching the code number of the specified transfer destination can be shortened, and the device usage efficiency can be reduced. can be improved. In addition, the general-purpose file 211 stores all remittances that are possible for remittance transactions, and is classified into files according to business type, such as a bank file 214, a cooperative association file, and a credit company file. Furthermore, the bank file 214 is classified into files by type, such as a city bank file 215, a regional bank file 215, a mutual bank file 215, a trust bank file 215, and a credit union file 215.

Furthermore, the city bank file 215 stores data for each city bank, that is, the kana code of the bank name, the kanji code, and the bank code in alphabetical order, and for each bank file 216, each bank branch In other words, the kana code, kanji code, and branch code of the branch name are stored in alphabetical order.

Each of the above files stores a starting address corresponding to a lower file.

In the above configuration, the procedure for searching the bank branch file 207 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the case of specifying the first bank and first branch of the city bank in the general-purpose file 211 will be described. That is, first, the general-purpose file 211 is selected according to the user's designation. As a result, the main control unit 2
00 reads the start address of the bank file 214 from the general-purpose file 211 and stores it. Next, the type of bank is designated as 25 city banks. Then, the main control unit 200 reads out the starting address of the city bank file 215 from the bank file 214 and stores it. Then, the bank name is designated as the first bank. Then, the main control unit 200 reads the kana code, kanji code, and bank code of the bank name from the area corresponding to the first bank from the city bank file 215, and
The first address of the first bank file 216 is read and stored.

Then, the branch name is designated as the first branch. Then, the main control unit 200 searches from the first address of the first bank file 216, reads out the kana code, kanji code, and branch code of the branch name from the area corresponding to the first branch, and ends the search.

By the way, when specifying the bank name and branch name, the customer no longer has to specify the entire name. In other words, bank names and branch names are stored in the city bank file 215 or the first bank file 216 in alphabetical order, so if the customer simply specifies the first letter of the name, the search results will be If there is only one matching name, it can be determined that the customer has specified that bank or branch. In addition, if a name cannot be limited by the first letter alone, by specifying the second and third letters, if the name is limited to one name, at that point the customer can specify the bank or branch. It can be determined that it is.

Also, if a name cannot be limited by just the first letter,
For example, if there are only a few names that can be limited by the first letter, the user may stop specifying the second letter, display all applicable names, and have the user select from them. .

In this case, you can easily specify the name.

Also, if it is not possible to limit the name to a small number of names using just the first letter,
When the second and third characters are limited to a small number, they may be displayed as described above for selection.

Next, a case will be described in which a different branch (second branch) of the same bank (second bank) in the store where this device is set in the dedicated file 210 is specified as the transfer destination. In this case, the bank name can be directly specified without specifying the industry type, bank type, etc. That is, at the beginning of the remittance search, the bank name specified in the dedicated file 210 is displayed at the same time that the bank name is displayed so that the bank name can be specified. At this time, if the user specifies a business type, the main control unit 200 determines that the search is from the general-purpose file 211, and if the user specifies the bank name, it determines that the search is from the dedicated file 210. . Then, the customer specifies the bank name in the dedicated file 210. Then, the main control unit 200 reads the kana code, kanji code, and bank code of the bank name from the file 212 of the same bank stored in the dedicated file 210, and reads the bank name in the general-purpose file 211 corresponding to the second bank. The first address of the second bank file 217 is read and stored. Then,
Specify the branch name as the second branch.

Then, the main control unit 200 searches from the first address of the second bank file 217, reads the kana code, kanji code, and branch code of the branch name from the area corresponding to the second branch, and ends the search.

Next, the processing operation of the bankbook P will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. For example, when accepting a passbook P, the main control unit 2QO excites the solenoid 30 and releases the selection shutter 2.
Open 1. At this time, the main control section 200 controls the solenoid 25
is excited, and the movable side plate 23 is retracted below the bottom plate 26 due to the excitation force. As a result, the transport path 81 has a width L2 defined by the side plates 22a and 22b. When the customer inserts the bankbook P into the bankbook/card insertion slot 3, the insertion is detected by darkening the detectors 27a and 27b, and the main control unit 200 excites the solenoid 29 and closes the main shutter. 21
Open (.Then the passbook P will be transferred to the drive roller 82...
It is pinched by the pinch rollers 83 and taken into the passbook/card section 20. As a result, the account information stored on the magnetic stripe 103 is read by the magnetic head 31 while the loaded passbook P is being transported.

Next, the COD image sensor 3 of the optical reader 89
4, the presence or absence of printing in the date column of the bankbook P and the page mark 105 are detected. The line to be printed is determined by detecting the presence or absence of printing, the bankbook P is conveyed to the position of the print head 35, and the print head 35 prints predetermined print contents.

If a print line runs out during this printing, the pages of the passbook P are turned over by the turn page mechanism 90 and printing is continued. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the passbook back-up plate 37 is pushed up towards the passbook P side by a solenoid (not shown), and the passbook P is pushed up by the turning roller 36 and the passbook back-up plate 37.
In between. Next, the turning roller 36 is rotated in the direction a to turn over one page of the bankbook P. After performing the page break operation in this way, the COD image sensor 34 detects that the passbook P
page mark 105 is detected, and the main control unit 200 correctly selects the
It is determined whether or not the number of pages has been turned.

If the pages are not turned correctly at this point, the inside of the first half of the passbook P is moved so that it is located below the turning position 36b, and the passbook back-up plate 37 is activated by a solenoid (not shown). Push up to P side and turn up roller 36
The passbook P is sandwiched between the passbook back-up plate 37 and the passbook backup board 37. Next, rotate the turning roller 36 in the direction b, and turn the page of the passbook P one by one.
Turn over the original page by one page. After performing the page change operation in this manner, the CCD image sensor 34 detects the page mark 105 of the bankbook P, and the main control unit 200 determines whether or not the page should be printed. If it is determined that the page has been turned correctly, the passbook P is conveyed again to the position of the print head 35 to continue printing. If the correct page is not turned over even after performing this page-turning operation a predetermined number of times, the main control unit 200 determines that the page-turning operation is not possible and interrupts the transaction.

On the other hand, when there are no more pages to print on the bankbook P, the printed bankbook P is collected in the collection warehouse 40 and another new bankbook P- is issued from the new bankbook storage 39.

That is, when the main control unit 200 issues the Shindo IN P-,
By rotating the motor 44, the claw 45 is moved. This movement of the claw 45 pushes the binding opening of the new bankbook P-, and the new bankbook P- is taken out one by one and fed into the conveyance path 81 through the gate 46. The new bankbook P' issued in this manner is conveyed as it is toward the bankbook/card insertion slot 3. While the new bankbook P- is being transported, account information is stored on the magnetic stripe 103 by the magnetic head 31. This account information is information for past transaction status supplied from the above-mentioned host computer and information for passbook management sent to the bank. After this storage is completed, the new bankbook P'' is conveyed to the position of the print head 35.

Then, the cover 101 of the new passbook P' is printed by the print head 35.
Print the branch number, account number, customer name, etc. In this case, in the new passbook storage 39, the cover 101 of the passbook P' is stored with the top facing up and taken out as it is, so printing can be performed on the cover 101 as is. The printed information is supplied from the host computer to the account information read from the bankbook P to be collected.

That is, the account information stored in the magnetic strips 1 to 103 of the bankbook P includes the branch number and account number encoded and stored, but the customer's name and the like are not stored. Therefore, the main control unit 200 sends the branch number and account number to the small bank computer. Then, the host computer sends the Kanji code of the customer's name stored in correspondence with the branch number and account number to the main control unit 200. Thereby, the main control unit 200 prints the customer's name based on the supplied Kanji code. Next, cover 1 of the new bankbook P'
14 (a) (b).
) As shown in (c), the page of the cover 101 is turned over. After the cover 101 is turned over in this manner, the inner page is turned and the page on which transaction information is to be printed is opened.

Next, it is checked using the optical reader 89 described above whether the page mark 105 of the opened page of the new bankbook P' is correct, that is, whether it is the correct page. In this way,
When it is detected that the page of the new bankbook P' has been opened correctly,
Printing of the transaction information is resumed from the first line of the predetermined page of the new bankbook P', and all printing is performed.

When issuing a new passbook P' as described above, the account information is stored in the magnetic stripe 103, and then the cover page is printed and a true page break is performed to print transaction information. Storing account information in the stripe 103 is given priority, so that even if some error occurs, information that can be read (handled) by the device is always stored. Also, storing account information on the magnetic stripe 103,
After printing the cover page, the page on which transaction information should be printed is changed, so the account information necessary for the passbook is given priority by storing the account information in the magnetic stripe 103 and printing the cover page. In the unlikely event that a problem occurs with page turning, etc.
Even if transactions are interrupted, you can always remember and record the necessary information in your passbook. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the issuance of a new bankbook P- in a state where nothing is stored in the Qi 103 of the new bankbook P-.

Next, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the magnetic card C
The processing operation will be explained. For example, when accepting a magnetic card C, the selection shutter 21 is in a closed state, as shown in FIG. At this time, since the main control unit 200 is not energizing the solenoid 25, the movable side plate 23 is in a state of protruding from the bottom plate 26 due to the elastic force of the spring 88. As a result, a card transport path 81- is formed in the transport path 81 with a width L1 defined by the movable side plate 23 and the side plate 22a. When the customer inserts the magnetic card C into the passbook/card insertion slot 3, the insertion darkens only the detector 27b and detects the magnetic stripe 110 with the detector 27C. The control unit 200 excites the solenoid 29 and activates the main shutter 21.
open.

Then, the magnetic card C is held between the drive rollers 82 . . . , the pinch rollers 83 . As a result, the account information stored on the magnetic stripe 110 is read by the magnetic head 50 while the loaded magnetic card C is being conveyed. This magnetic card C is further conveyed, and the embossing table 51
It is transported to the point where it stops once. That is, magnetic card C
is conveyed until the tip of the card reaches the card position detector 52.
The embossing stand 51 is rotated 90 degrees around 3, and the magnetic card C enters the lower side of the journal paper J. This journal paper J is impregnated with pressure-sensitive coloring ink, and an embossing roller 54 moves along a roller movement path 55 and pressurizes the journal paper J above the magnetic card C. J to magnetic card C
You can copy the embossed image.

Further, when the embossing table 51 is rotated to a position where it is inserted under the journal paper J, a bottom plate for forming the bottom of the card conveyance path 81'' comes out. That is, as shown in FIG. 13(a), the magnetic card C is conveyed to the embossing table 51, and the end thereof is stopped at the position detector 52.
b) shows the state when the embossing table 51 rotates 90 degrees (counterclockwise) while holding the magnetic card C. At this time, after the embossing table 51 is rotated, a card conveying table 57 remains, which is capable of conveying cards even without the embossing table 51. Furthermore, a part of the embossing table 51 comes out onto the card conveyance path 81-.

As a result, a card other than the magnetic card C on the embossing stand 51 can be supported and conveyed by the embossing stand 51 and the card transport stand 57. As a result, when processing another magnetic card C1 transfer card T while a magnetic card C is being accepted, by retracting the magnetic card C onto the embossing stand 51, the card conveyance path 81- can be moved to another place. Can be used and processed for cards.

As described above, the magnetic card C is accepted, the account information is read from the magnetic stripe 110, and the emboss is copied. In addition, when returning the magnetic card C, the embossing table 51 is rotated 90 degrees in the opposite direction (clockwise) with the magnetic card C placed thereon, contrary to the previous operation, and the magnetic card C is moved along the card transport path. Exit above 81'. Thereafter, the magnetic card C is conveyed in the direction of the passbook/card insertion slot 3 and returned, or conversely conveyed in the receiving direction and transferred to the medium return slot 4.
It is recovered to 0.

Next, referring to Figures 8 and 9, transfer card T
The processing operation will be explained. The transfer cards T are stored in a transfer card storage 41, and are taken out one by one as necessary, magnetic information is stored in the transfer destination printing area 123, and issued. On the other hand, if the customer wants to make a transfer transaction again to the transfer destination stored in the transfer card T, the customer can designate the transfer destination by inserting the issued transfer card T into the passbook/card insertion slot 3. It has become.

First, the issuance of the transfer card T will be explained.

At this time, the unused transfer cards T for issuing a new check are stacked and stored in the transfer card storage 41 with the transfer destination printing area 121 facing upward. That is, when issuing the transfer card T, the main control unit 200 moves the claw 58 by rotating a motor (not shown). As the claw 58 moves, the ends of the transfer cards T are pushed, and the transfer cards T are taken out one by one by the movable roller 38 and fed into the conveyance path 81 through the gates 42 and 46. At this time, for example, if the user uses a magnetic card C and is making a transfer transaction from the account of the magnetic card C, the magnetic card C is read in before the transfer card T is issued, and the magnetic card C is processed as described above. Store card C at the bottom of the journal IJ.

The transfer card T issued as described above is conveyed as is in the direction of the passbook/card insertion slot 3. Based on the position where the rear end of the transfer card T is detected by the card position detector 52, the movable side plate 23 protrudes from the bottom plate 26 due to the elastic force of the printing spatula spring 88. Thereby, the conveyance path 81 is connected to the movable side plate 23 and the side plate 22.
A card transport path 81- is formed with a width L1 defined by a. Then, when the transfer card T is conveyed to the printing position, the transfer destination information is recorded by the print head 35. As the transfer destination information, as shown in FIG. 7, the bank name, branch name, account number, transfer destination name, expiration date, etc. of the transfer destination are recorded. When this printing is completed, the transfer card T is further conveyed in the direction of the passbook/card insertion slot 3. Then, the transfer information is stored in the magnetic stripe 123 by the magnetic head 60 while the transfer note J-DoT is being conveyed.

As the transfer destination information, encoded information such as the bank name, branch name, account number, transfer destination name, expiration date, telephone number, etc. of the transfer destination is stored. In this case, since the amount of information to be stored is large, it is stored across multiple tracks.

As described above, when the printing and magnetic storage on the transfer card T is completed, the transfer card T is ejected from the bankbook/card insertion slot 3 and issued to the user.

Next, a case will be described in which a transfer transaction is performed using the transfer card T issued as described above. For example, when accepting a transfer card T, the selection shutter 21 is
As shown in the figure, it is in the closed state. At this time, since the main control unit 200 is not energizing the solenoid 25, the movable side plate 23 is in a state of protruding from the bottom plate 26 due to the elastic force of the spring 88. As a result, the conveyance path 81
A card transport path 81' having a width L1 defined by the movable side plate 23 and the side plate 22a is formed. When the customer inserts the transfer card T into the passbook/card insertion slot 3, the insertion only darkens the detector 27b, and
This is detected by detecting the magnetic stripe 110 with the detector 27d, and the main controller 200 excites the solenoid 29 to open the main shutter 21. Then, the transfer card T is held between the drive rollers 82 . . . , the pinch rollers 83 .

As a result, the transfer information stored on the magnetic stripe 123 is read by the magnetic head 60 while the transferred transfer card T is being conveyed. Thereafter, the transfer card T is conveyed in the direction of the passbook/card insertion slot 3 and returned, or conversely conveyed in the receiving direction and collected in the collection warehouse 40.

When the transfer card T is accepted, the main control unit 200 determines whether the expiration date in the transfer information read from the magnet 123 is within the expiration date. At this time, if it is determined that the expiration date is outside the expiration date, that is, the expiration date has expired, the transfer card T is conveyed to the print head 35, and the expiration date is printed on the transfer card T. This printing may be performed by switching the ink ribbon of the print head 35 from black to red. When the printing of the expiration date is completed, the transfer card T is further conveyed in the receiving direction and collected into the collection warehouse 40 via the gate 42. This collection is performed in the same way when the transfer card T is issued, when the transfer card T is returned within its expiration date, or when the user forgets to take it. In such a case, the transfer card T that the user forgot to take and the expired transfer card T are mixed and collected in the collection warehouse 40, but the transfer card T that the user forgot to take needs to be returned to the user. The expired transfer card T is to be discarded.

However, since the expiration date is printed below the expired transfer card, even if the transfer card T that the user forgot to take and the expired transfer cart T are mixed together and collected,
Transfer cards T can be easily classified.

Next, in such a configuration, FIGS.
The transfer operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in ). For example, a customer is now standing in front of this device. At this time, the LCD display 12 will display the message ``Welcome, please specify the handling method'' and the selection keys for ``Withdrawal, Deposit, Balance Inquiry, Passbook Entry, Transfer'' will be displayed. There is.

In response to this guidance, the customer presses down the part of the touch panel 13 that displays "Transfer". As a result, the main control unit 2

A cancellation key and a confirmation key are displayed (Sr67). Following this guidance, the customer presses the confirmation key or cancellation key (Sr68). Then, when the main control unit 200 determines that the cancellation key has been input (Sr69), step 7
Proceeds to 0 and when it is determined that the confirmation key has been inserted (Sr69)
, proceed to step 73-1. Here, if the customer uses the magnetic card C1 transfer card T, the transfer person (customer)
Since account information and names are stored as magnetic information, customers do not need to enter them again. That is, when a magnetic card C is used, the account information stored in the magnetic stripe 110 of the magnetic card C is sent to the center, and the customer's name stored in correspondence with the account number is received. I can do it. Furthermore, when using the transfer card T, the customer's name is stored directly on the magnetic stripe 123 of the transfer card T as magnetic information, so by reading this it is possible to input the customer's name. .

In addition, since the name stored on the magnetic card C or the transfer card T is not necessarily the sender's name, steps 67 to 6
9 processing is performed. That is, for example, when a transfer is made using the magnetic card C of the account to which the salary is being transferred, the name on the magnetic card C is of course the person receiving the salary. Therefore, if it becomes necessary to make a transfer in the name of a family member of the person receiving the salary, the name on the magnetic card C can be changed to the name of the family member.

Once the above transfer details have been confirmed, the main control unit 20
0 calculates the transfer fee (Sr73-1). The fee is calculated based on the amount transferred, whether the transfer destination is within the same bank or another bank, etc. This completes inputting all the information required for the transfer transaction. Here, the main control unit 200 causes the liquid crystal display unit 12 to display the message ``If the details of the transfer are correct, please press confirm'', as well as displaying the transfer details, transfer fee, cancellation key, and confirmation key (Sr74
). Following this guidance, the customer presses the confirmation key or cancellation key (Sr75).

Then, when the main control unit 200 determines that the confirmation key has been input and determines that the card is not used (if Sr1, please press the confirmation key), it displays a confirmation key and a cancellation key (Sr81). Following this guidance, the customer inserts the banknote into the banknote insertion slot 10 and inserts the coin into the coin insertion lower (Sr82).Then, the banknote is received by the banknote withdrawal unit 202, inspected and counted, and coins are inserted into the banknote insertion slot 10. The coins are accepted by the coin withdrawal unit 201, and are inspected and counted (Sr83).At this time, the main control unit 200 compares the deposited amount with the sum of the transfer amount and the fee, and determines whether the deposited amount is the transfer amount or the fee. If it becomes larger than the sum of (
ST84), the main control unit 200 determines the excess amount of banknotes (ST81-1). If the deposit amount is smaller than the sum of the transfer amount and the fee, that is, if there is no excess (ST84), the main control unit 200 accepts the banknotes one by one (SR812). Then, the main control unit 200 checks whether or not the banknote loading is completed (5R84-3).
, if this acquisition has not been completed, the process returns to step 83, and if the acquisition has been completed, it is checked whether or not the input amount is insufficient (ST85). As a result of this check, if the main control unit 200 calculates the shortage amount (ST
85-1), the main control unit 200 displays on the liquid crystal display unit 12 the message "Deposit amount is insufficient. Please add more" and returns to step 82 (ST85-2). Further, if there is no shortage in the input amount at step 85, the main control unit 200 checks whether there is an excess (5T86); if there is an excess, the main control unit 200
``Return excess amount'' is displayed, and the excess amount of banknotes is returned to the banknote insertion slot 10 (ST86-1
).

In response to this guidance, the customer receives the returned banknotes (S
T86-2).

When an excess of banknotes does not occur in step 86, or when the banknotes are removed in step 86-2,
The main control section 200 causes the liquid crystal display section 12 to display "Please confirm the deposited amount", as well as display the deposited amount, a cancellation key, and a confirmation key (ST87). Following this guidance, the customer presses the confirmation key (ST87-1
>. If the main control unit 200 determines that the confirmation key has been input, the process advances to step 88.

As mentioned above, together with the deposit limit amount for normal deposit transactions, check that the sum of the current transfer amount and the number of steps 11 is within the deposit limit amount for the transfer transaction, and also check that the deposit amount is within the deposit limit amount for the transfer transaction. If it becomes larger than the sum of
The excess amount will be automatically returned. This prevents counterfeit banknotes from being exchanged for genuine banknotes by withdrawing a large amount of change using the banknotes in a transfer transaction. That is, in transactions using conventional automated teller machines, it is necessary to have a bank account, and when a bank card is issued, the bank card is sent by mail to confirm the user's identity.

Therefore, if a crime occurs using an automatic transaction device, the identity of the user will be immediately known. However, transfer transactions using this automated teller machine can be used by unspecified users, and the amount handled is higher than that of other vending machines. Therefore, by depositing a large amount of money in a small transfer transaction and receiving a large amount of change, counterfeit banknotes can be instantly exchanged for genuine banknotes. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the deposited banknotes will be automatically returned as they are from the point when the deposited amount becomes greater than the sum of the transfer amount and the fee, even during the verification counting process. It has become. Thereby, even if counterfeit banknotes are deposited, the amount of damage can be minimized. However, if banknotes and coins are used together, a fraction of 1,000 yen or less will be given as a deposit limit for coins, and a sum of the transfer amount and handling fee will be given as a deposit limit for banknotes. It looks like this.

Furthermore, if it is determined in step 76 that a card is to be used, the main control unit 200 displays on the liquid crystal display unit 12 the message ``Please insert your passbook. If you do not have one, press Forgot Passbook'' and displays the Forgot Passbook key. Instigate (ST)
77). In response to this guidance, the customer either inserts the passbook into the passbook/card slot 3 or presses the forget passbook key (S
T78). Then, if it is determined that the passbook should be inserted (ST
79), the main control unit 200 receives the bankbook into the bankbook/card unit 20, and proceeds to step 88 (ST80). If it is determined in step 7 that the passbook forgotten key has been pressed, the process proceeds to step 88.

Then, after the processing in step 87-1 is completed, or if it is determined that the forget passbook key has been pressed in step 7, or after the passbook is accepted in step 80, the main control unit 200 displays the liquid crystal display unit 12. Displays the message "The computer is currently processing, please wait a moment" (
ST88).

The main control unit 200 also sends and receives the transfer message, and prints the result on the journal paper J using the above-mentioned printing device @93 (ST89). In response to the end of this printing, the main control unit 200 determines whether there is change (ST90).
). When the main control unit 200 determines that there is change, the main control unit 200 causes the liquid crystal display unit 12 to display "Please receive bills and coins from their respective receiving slots" and displays the amount of change ( ST91).

At this time, the main control section 200 operates the banknote withdrawal section 202 to discharge change banknotes into the bill insertion slot 10, and operates the coin deposit/withdrawal section 201 to discharge change coins into the change discharge port 8 (ST92). ). As a result of this release, the customer receives change (ST93). When the change has been received,
Alternatively, when the main control unit 200 determines that there is no change in step 9o, the main control unit 200 checks whether the transfer destination has been registered, whether a transfer card has been used, and whether the transfer card has been collected (ST9 /I, 95.9
6).

Here, if the transfer destination is not registered and the transfer card T was not used, or if the transfer card T has been collected,
The main control unit 200 displays on the liquid crystal display unit 12, ``Do you want to issue a 1-payment card?'' and also displays the issue/unnecessary key (ST97). In response to this guidance, the customer presses the issue key or unnecessary key (ST98). Then, when the main control unit 200 determines that the issue key is pressed (ST99), the main control unit 200 controls the passbook/card unit 20
issue a transfer card T (STl 00)
. As a result, the bankbook/card section 20 issues a new transfer card T, as described above, and the card is ejected from the bankbook/card insertion slot 3. At this time, the main control unit 200 causes the liquid crystal display unit 12 to display "Please take the transfer card" (ST101). In response to this guidance, the customer takes out the transfer card T from the notification/card insertion slot 3 and receives it (S
T102). In response to this removal, if the transferee determines registration in step 94, if it determines that the transfer card T has not been collected in step 96, or if it determines that an unnecessary key is pressed in step 9. , the main control unit 200 causes the liquid crystal display unit 12 to display ``Please take your bankbook or receipt'' (ST1
03), the bankbook or receipt R is ejected from the bankbook/card insertion slot 3 (ST104). As a result, the customer receives the passbook P or receipt R (ST105)
. In response to this receipt, the main control unit 200
5T106), magnetic card C
If not used, the transfer process will end. Furthermore, when the magnetic card C is used, the main control unit 200 causes the liquid crystal display unit 12 to display "Please receive the card" (ST107), and causes the magnetic card C to be ejected from the bankbook/card insertion slot 3 (ST108). ). This results in
The customer receives the released magnetic card C (ST109
), the transfer process ends.

In the above embodiment, a part of the liquid crystal display 65 is used as the display section, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a CRT display may be used. Alternatively, a post office may be used as a financial institution.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an input device that can prevent erroneous input even if the user's line of sight is shifted.
