Kana keyboard 24 is Alphahet A-Z.

Learn the keys for numbers 0 to 9, kana (ra~n, blank space (one character ζ)), voiced tone, handakuten, and specific middle characters such as corporations and business offices.Also, in the evening, Chiky Port 26 (, ：In physical terms, if you touch t!T on the display screen of the CRT display, you are entering the corresponding small amount.For transfers, enter the name of the bank branch in the 1ffl book to which the transfer will be made. etc., but in this case, touch = 1 - As shown in Figure 2, the board will display the message ``Please select the branch name for the transfer,'' as well as the bank branch name Δ, B, etc. C,
. . . is displayed, and the customer touches the appropriate item with his/her finger to select the branch to which the transfer should be made. If there is no corresponding branch name among the displayed branch names, the display of the next screen is requested and the corresponding branch name is searched from the newly displayed group of branch names.

Please note that the IR you choose to transfer the money to is your own/departure selection, Yamaneba Miyako 5y, II! 'tU, Shinkin Bank, etc., and the branch selection will be based on these charges. Since there are many branches, for example, in the case of the Nanda + V branch, select "Mi" on the kana keyboard and display the branch name BY starting with "Mi" on the tanchi keyboard.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Bank branches are sometimes added or consolidated, so the branch names are not fixed but in 1/J variations; 117+. Support 111; The name J1 is stored on the floppy disk (file 3B), and the name J1 is stored on the floppy disk (file 3B). , 1 to ζ, 11
The floppy disk containing the data is read out and displayed on the keyboard 1'2G. So branch name 71Y
If there is a change in the name of the IJI ITi gold ( Setting up Buddhist shrines: 8 As the number increases (this 117.) becomes troublesome.

Since an automatic teller machine has a power of 1 - 1, 2, you can enter the branch name by pressing 1 or minus on this keyboard and write it to the floppy disk. The present invention has the following points: terminals (automatic teller machines);
, 1. Input update information +U to update the memory data of the own I'41 Song, and then send it to all other terminals via the center to update the memory data of the mushroom 1 end. It is something to do.

[T stage for solving problems]

The present invention each includes a keyboard 1', a display section, a data storage section Mi, and a line control section, and the line control section updates data in the data record section 19 of a large number of terminal devices connected to the center. In the remote terminal maintenance method, the stored data in the data storage section is updated by operating the keyboard of one terminal device and inputting update information, and after reading it and confirming it by displaying it on the display section, the update is performed. This system is characterized by sending information to other terminal devices via the center to update the data storage section of each terminal device.

[For use]

If update information is input from one terminal device, the 1q information of the own terminal is updated, RKL is confirmed, and the information is sent to another terminal via the center, and the 1q information of the other terminal is also updated, the data stored in the terminal will be updated. This eliminates the need for a staff member to update each terminal one by one, which is very effective especially when the number of terminals is large. It is conceivable that the terminal data 1q can be updated from the center, but since the data is stored in the terminal, it is difficult to confirm it by updating from the center. In this respect, the method performed from a terminal has the advantage of being convenient because it allows confirmation and updating from any of a number of terminals.

〔Example〕

To explain this with reference to FIG. 1, in the present invention, the information described in 1a is updated at a terminal in this example, and the updated information is sent to all remaining terminals B and C at the center system C3. Update memory information.

The information update is, for example, the above-mentioned branch information addition process, and the processing procedure in this case is shown in FIG.

Terminal In this example, the automated teller machine is equipped with an attendant key;
When this is operated, the mode switches from normal customer transaction mode to attendant maintenance mode. This staff maintenance mode is used to update the stored information. In implementing the present invention, a key for branch information addition processing is installed in the automatic teller machine; press this key to add branch information to the floppy disk (branch file 38); , operate the kana keyboard 24 to enter branch information (ti settings for the file to which information is to be added,
Enter the branch name (Kanji and Kana), bank/branch code). Since the branch name 1 is a kanji character, this input is done using a kanji code.The input branch name is Basofa ↓. This is displayed on touch keyboard 1, 2 (+). At this time, touch keyboard 1 is blank or only a white frame is displayed, and the entered bank branch name is displayed in the appropriate place in this blank area or within its own frame. The clerk sees this, confirms it, presses the confirmation key, and enters the branch file 38.As mentioned above, there are many branches, and they are arranged in the order of the numbers. , additional branch names must be placed in place in this order, but this can be done by the software core.

Alternatively, a blank field may be provided for each JIY, and the newly added branch name may be stored in the blank field. Once the branch file has been updated in this way, a test 1 is performed to simulate a transaction and check whether the branch name is displayed as planned.

FIG. 2(l) shows an example of the branch availability display screen of the touch keyboard 2G before the update, and FIG. 2(l) shows an example of the branch office display screen after the update.

Update 1): In 1, this branch group was A-F, but after the update, two branches G and 11 were added, making it A-H.

Branch file paste on your own terminal! After checking tjj and its confirmation, press key 41'l' on keyboard 1'.
1. Request the branch information to be sent to each terminal to update the branch file on the H5 terminal. In order to do this, the center system's remote maintenance program, ■, upon receiving newly added branch information with a request to be sent to each terminal, ■ sends the newly added branch information and its branch file to all terminals that issued the request. We set up a program that generates write requests to 4J, and in each branch's Progera J, "-Record! When a request is received, a microphone is set up to carry out the request.

[Shijiri of invention]

This has been explained above. L sea urchin o, the invention is 1, if the update result on the side of the boss i (while stone carving, it is possible to automatically update or work on other similar terminals, and the 1 on the boss i side) Updates can be performed on all terminals without error by the maintainer without interrupting the operator's hands, which is extremely effective.
