JPS6275727A - Input operation controlling system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove feeling of uneasiness of a beginner, by providing a key which can indicate that a user is a beginner to input operation in accordance with the designation of the user. CONSTITUTION:By detecting whether or not a user depresses a key 5 which indicates that a user is a beginner, the monitoring time from starting of operation to depressing of end key is set to a prescribed timer value when the user does not depress the key 5. When the user depresses the key 5, the monitoring time is set longer than the timer value. Moreover, when the key 5 is not depressed, the monitoring time from a key depression to another key depression is set to a prescribed timer value and, when the key 5 is depressed, the monitoring time is set to a beginner's time which is longer than the prescribed timer value. Therefore, feeling of uneasiness of a beginner can be removed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of application of the invention] The present invention focuses on the input control method of the operating device.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, in operating devices such as automatic cash handling machines, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-55571, when the user is an experienced user, the processing time is shortened by pressing a key that enables simplified processing. . Furthermore, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10387/1983, even visually impaired people can use the card with peace of mind by displaying a message indicating that they are visually impaired on the card. However, no consideration was given to the case where a beginner, inexperienced person, elderly person, etc. operates the device.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an input control method that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method and can be used even by inexperienced users and the elderly.

[Summary of the invention]

Therefore, the present invention not only eliminates the feeling of anxiety but also prevents undesired operations by the user by allowing input operations to be performed in accordance with the user's specifications.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail using the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an operating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation unit e1 is, for example, a cash deposit machine or a self-help dispensing machine.

When the user presses a key from the operation section 3, the press information is communicated to the control section 2, and the control section 2 performs processing based on the pressed key information. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the key arrangement of the operating section 3. Before starting the operation, the user presses the key 5 for specifying something unfamiliar, then manually presses the numeric keys 6, presses the 10,000 yen key 7, the confirmation key 8. Press the cancel key 9 or the like. An experienced user does not press the key 5, but performs the normal keystroke manually.

FIG. 3 shows the operating flow. Monitoring time from the start of operation to the end key press (timer A) to detect whether the user presses key 5, which specifies something unfamiliar to the user.
is set to a predetermined timer value if it is not pressed, and set to a value that is longer than the predetermined timer value if it is pressed (N, 1).
2λIf the key 5 that specifies something unfamiliar is not pressed, the monitoring time from the pressed key to the pressed key (timer B) =
<If the predetermined timer value is pressed, set a value longer than the predetermined timer value as an unauthorized user (1

, monitor with timers A and B until it is pressed (18.l
), timers A and B are subtracted by τ (16). 6. The pressed key is processed by the pressed key process (20), and it is determined whether this key is the end key (21), and if it is not the end key, it is reset according to the designation of timer B4. If it is not the end key, normal manual operation processing is performed (22). Also timer A.

When the monitoring time of B is detected to be zero, input operation cancellation processing 7 is performed (23).

[Effect of brother Ming]

According to the present invention, when a person using the operating device presses a key specifying an unfamiliar operation on the operating section, the monitoring time χ until the user performs an input operation is extended.
Input operations can be performed according to the user's specifications.

Therefore, it is possible to not only eliminate the user's anxiety caused by unfamiliarity, but also to prevent the user from performing undesirable operations.
