Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for creating a screen of a customer-operated automatic machine that changes a screen according to a customer's input operation such as a ticket machine at an ATM or a transportation institution such as a bank, and performs a transaction or a cash transaction. In particular, the present invention relates to a screen creation method and apparatus that can flexibly change or modify a display screen.

For example, a cash handling device (ATM) such as a bank displays an initial screen for a customer to select a transaction type such as deposit, withdrawal, or payment, on a screen placed in front of the device, and the customer selects one of the transaction types. When selected by a touch panel operation or the like, the screen for inputting information necessary for the transaction type is sequentially changed, so that a predetermined transaction such as cash withdrawal or payment with the customer can be completed.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of screens for displaying in accordance with the customer operation in advance in the above cash handling apparatus. As described above, each screen displayed by the customer operation (including the screen display displayed for the person in charge) is displayed based on the screen data composed of a combination of characters, illustrations, animations, and the like.

Conventionally, screen data for displaying each screen is integrally formed for each screen and a work program which performs drawing processing for the operation screen and processing for customer operation such as button press on each screen according to the screen data.

For example, in the case of creating screen data including n operation buttons in one screen, the screen data is simultaneously created in the work program together with a processing step for performing processing for these button presses.

In addition, when changing the position of a button or the like displayed on the customer operation screen, the screen data in which the button position is changed is created, and at the same time, the processing step in the work program that performs the process of pressing the button displayed on the customer operation screen is also changed. There is a need.

In short, conventionally, the screen data and the processing system of a program that processes the same are created in synchronization with each other so as to maintain a fixed one-to-one relationship, so that the work program for processing the customer operation and the screen data displayed on the customer operation screen are displayed. It is configured to be integrally.

However, information on local events (e.g. festivals and events) is displayed in correspondence with branches and stores in cash handling devices such as banks that are used by many people, or information corresponding to various campaign periods when the season changes. There is a need for information providing services utilizing multimedia such as texts, still images, moving images, telops, and animations for providing. For this purpose, it is required to change the screen data in a timely manner.

However, in the above-described prior art, in order to configure the work program for processing the customer operation and the screen data displayed on the customer operation screen as a whole, a display such as telop without changing the processing step is added to the work program. Even in this case, there is a problem that the end user of a cash processing device such as a bank must request a change of the display screen to a business program maker or a production department, and the display screen cannot be changed or modified flexibly.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for creating a screen of a customer-operated automatic machine which can flexibly change or modify a display screen. Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a customer-operated automatic machine which has created contents to be displayed on the screen by using the screen creation method of the customer-operated automatic machine which can flexibly change or modify the display screen.

It is composed of In addition, each screen data is managed by the screen identifier 402 of "GOO1", "GOO2", ... "GOOn". For example, "GOO1" displays the "Welcome" screen.

Each screen data 401-1 to 401-n is composed of a character data section 411, a button data section 412, an image data section 413 to 416, and the like. In this case, since the display contents are different for each screen, the configuration of the screen data is also different for each screen. That is, the screen data of the screen on which the image parts are not displayed is composed of a combination of data parts of other parts that are not required for display, without the image data part being present.

The character data portion 411 is information on the display position, size, and display character itself on the screen of the character component 302 of FIG. 3, and the button data portion 412 is the display position and size on the screen of the button component 305. FIG. The image data unit 413 has information on operations such as screen switching when the button is pressed, and information on the display position and size of the image component on the screen.

The processing unit 102 of the cash handling device 1 of FIG. 1 uses the screen data 401 as the character data unit 411, the button data unit 412, and the image data unit 413 according to the format of the screen data 401. After separating the data portion and the like, the structure of each data portion is analyzed, and information of the display position, size information, and the like on the screen of the customer display portion 103 or the person in charge display portion 108 as shown in FIG. The display data information and the like are extracted, and the display shown in the screen example of FIG. 3 is performed.

In addition to the information necessary for the screen display, the button component 305 of FIG. 3 includes transaction type information for recognizing a transaction selection such as "deposit" and "withdrawal" by pressing on the screen.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a detailed format of the button data unit 412 of the screen data 401 of FIG. The button data section 412 displays the display position information 502 for specifying a position for display on the screen of the customer display unit 103 and the person in charge display unit 108, and the size of the button component to be displayed on the screen.

By the operation instruction information 505 for the next program to be used for determining the screen to be displayed next.

The character data portion 411 and the image data portion 413 other than the button data portion 412 are required for drawing a simple display screen, and are not related to the selection operation by the customer. ), And the display information portion 506 composed of the size information 503 and the display data information 504.

On the other hand, since the button data part 412 is related to the selection operation by the customer, the button data part 412 is operated by the customer in addition to the display information part 506 regarding the display of the simple screen, as shown in FIG. In response to the button selection operation, operation instruction information 505 for instructing operation such as screen switching is provided.

When addition, change, or deletion of the display component including the operation instruction information 505 described above occurs, it is necessary to change the processing of the work program 201. For example, when a customer presses a button component of "deposit", a "Please insert bankbook" screen is displayed on the customer display unit 103 of the cash handling device 1, and the customer presses the "withdrawal" button component. In this case, the screen is switched according to the transaction type assigned to the button parts, such as displaying a "Please insert a card" screen.However, the parts to which the work program 201 needs to be handled in accordance with the above-described customer operation are changed. When addition, change, or deletion have occurred, it is necessary to change the processing of the work program 201.

On the other hand, since the information 502, 503, 504 of the display information component is information on the design on the display screen as described above, irrespective of the screen switching processing at the time of button press of the work program 201, Even if the positional information 502, the size information 503, and the display data information 504 are changed, the processing of the work program 201 has no influence.

Thus, in the screen data generating device 2 of the present invention, the operation instruction information 505 is treated as the work program changing portion 507, and the display component having the work program changing portion 507 (in this embodiment) Button parts), only a specific mode (expansion mode described later) is allowed to add, change, and delete, and manage differently from the display parts related to simple display. Addition, modification, and deletion of display components related to simple display are allowed in both the basic mode and the extended mode, as will be described later. In the basic mode, the change is suppressed for the display component (button component in the present embodiment) having the work program change portion 507.

6 is a diagram showing a function of the screen data creating apparatus 2 for creating screen data and a process of creating or changing the work program 201 by screen data created or changed in the screen data creating apparatus 2. to be. The screen data generating apparatus 2 is provided with two modes, a basic mode and an extended mode, as shown in FIG.

The basic mode has a function limited to the creation or change of the display information portion 506 including the position information 502 of FIG. 5, the size information 503, and the display data information 504, which does not require the change of the work program 201. The instructing mode is provided, and the extended mode is a mode for providing a function for creating or changing screen data including operation instruction information 505 that requires a change of the work program 201. Transition from basic mode to extended mode is allowed, but transition from extended mode to basic mode is not allowed. As described above, when the screen data changed in the extended mode requires the change of the work program 201, if the work program 201 is returned from the extended mode without changing the work program, the work program 201 is changed. This is because the guarantee is lost, and as a result, the correspondence between the work program 201 and the screen data 401 after the change is broken.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the screen data 401 is provided with a mode flag (identifier) for identifying whether it is created in the basic mode or the extended mode, and once the mode transitions to the extended mode, the mode flag = extended mode. Is updated to For the screen data created or changed in the extended mode, a mode flag = extended mode is added and outputted from the external storage unit 124 as a medium output for work program creation, and reaches between the work program creation maker and the creation unit. Until the change to the program is reflected, the medium output is prohibited as the medium output for ATM installation.

On the other hand, the screen data 401 created in the basic mode is temporarily stored in the storage unit 123 of the screen data creating apparatus 2. Thus, it is output from the external storage unit 124 as a medium output for ATM installation. In the cash handling apparatus 1, by installing this ATM output medium output from the external storage unit 127 into the storage unit 128, the screen reflecting the changed screen data 401 can be displayed. In this case, it is also possible to reflect the screen data 401 after the change to the cash handling device 1 through the upper processing device 3 without passing through the external storage unit 124.

Between the work program wall maker or the creator who received the screen data 401 created in the extended mode, the received screen data 401 is interpreted, and a processing step corresponding to the operation instruction information 505 in the work program 201 is performed. Create or change. After this change, the mode flag is changed to the basic mode, output as the media output for ATM installation including the created or changed business program 201, and installed in the cash handling device 1.

FIG. 7A illustrates the functions in the basic mode and the extended mode. In the basic mode, addition or deletion of an image part, a text part, an animation part, and a moving part is allowed. Deletion or addition of this button part is not allowed because a change is required. Deletion or addition of button parts is only allowed in extended mode. In the basic mode, both the media output for ATM installation and the media output for business program creation are allowed, whereas in the extended mode, only the media output for business program creation is allowed, and the media output for ATM installation is not allowed.

7B is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the mode flag and the screen data 401. The mode flag 702 is added to the head of the screen data 401-1 to 401-n. The mode flag may be added to the header portion of the screen data.

Next, the outline | summary of the process of creating the screen data required for each display screen of the cash handling device 1 using the screen data preparation device 2 is demonstrated.

After the operator of the screen data generating apparatus 2 starts the screen creating program 127 stored in the storage unit 123 and selects the basic mode by the operation unit 125, the processing unit 121 performs the operation of this basic mode. Recognize the choice. And, among the information stored in the storage unit 123, the positional information 502, the size information 503, and the display data information 504 which do not require a change of the display information portion 506, that is, the work program 201. ) Is extracted and displayed on the display unit 122.

Once the operator finishes the screen creating program 127, the processing unit 121 similarly recognizes the flag 702 indicating that the screen data 401 (FIG. 4) of the display screen created up to that point has been created in the basic mode. To remember). As a result, when the operator selects the basic mode again and displays the screen data in the middle, the processor 121 determines that the screen data 401 is the basic mode, and at the same time, the screen data 401 that has been created up to that time is Since the display can be read and displayed on the display unit 122, the operator can continue to create screen data.

In the case of the extended mode, the processing unit 121 stores the screen data 401 created in the extended mode in the storage unit 123 together with the flag 702 indicating the extended mode as described above. It is possible to judge and prevent the error storing process (error registration to the above-described cash handling device 1).

And this creation screen, ie, screen data 401 of FIG. 4, is transferred from the storage unit 123 of the screen data generating apparatus 2 to the external storage unit 124, and is used for ATM installation in the external storage unit 124. It is output to the medium output and installed in the storage unit 128 of the cash handling device 1. Then, according to the instruction of the processing unit 102 of the cash handling device 1, information about the screen design, the size, the display part name, and the like are output to the customer display unit 103 or the person in charge display unit 108 and displayed on the screen. .

On the other hand, the screen data 401 created in the extended mode is installed in the cash handling device 1 in a state in which the operation instruction information 505 of FIG. 5 is included, and screen switching at the time of button press is performed.

FIG. 8A is a diagram showing an example of the basic mode screen 810 displayed at the start of the basic mode of the screen data generating apparatus 2, and here is the head of the plurality of screens stored in the storage unit 123. FIG. The example in which the "come over" screen 301 is displayed is shown. At the same time, a parts list window 8101 that displays parts that can be created or changed in the basic mode is displayed.

In the parts list window 8101 of the basic mode screen 8100, only the image part 8102, the text part 8103, the animation part 8104, the moving picture part 8105, etc., which do not affect the work program 201 are used. The display of the button parts and the like which are displayed and affect the work program 201 is suppressed, and the influence on the work program 201 is suppressed by disabling operation such as adding or deleting the button parts.

Since the screen data 401 created in the basic mode can be installed in the cash handling device 1 as it is, when the creation of the screen data without affecting the work program 201 is finished, as shown in Fig. 8B, the menu From the bar 8201, a "tool" menu 8202 is selected, and a pull-down menu 8203 is displayed. In the pull-down menu 8203, an "all map installation FD creation" menu 8204, which is an ATM installation medium output function, is selected, and the external storage unit 124 outputs the ATM installation medium output. Thereby, the medium which can be installed as it is in the cash handling apparatus 1 is output.

On the other hand, when the extended mode is selected after starting the screen creation program 127, the extended mode screen 9100 as shown in FIG. 9A is displayed on the display unit 122. FIG. Here, the first screen of the plurality of screens stored in the storage unit 123, the "come on" screen 301 is displayed, and a parts list window 9111 displaying parts that can be created or changed in the extended mode is displayed. . In the parts list window 9111, a change of the work program 201 suppressed in the basic mode other than the image part 9112, the animation part 9314, the text part 9316, and the moving picture part 9171 is required. A parts list window including a button component 9113, an input component 9151, and the like is displayed, and it is possible to change the button component 9313 or the like that requires the change of the work program 201.

Here, the input component 9316 is for creating a display area for displaying data input by a customer such as a password. Since the addition of an input part or the change of the input parameter requires a change of the work program 201, it is allowed only in the extended mode, and in the basic mode at a speed that does not require the change of the work program 201 such as display color or display position. Only changes are allowed.

When the creation or change of the screen data 401 in the extended mode is finished, as shown in FIG. 9B, the "Tool" menu 9202 is selected from the menu bar 9201, and the pull-down menu 9203 is displayed. . Then, "FD creation for work program creation" menu 9204 is selected from the pull-down menu 9203, and the external storage unit 124 outputs the work program creation media output. In this case, since the screen data 401 created in the extended mode affects the work program 201, the "All map installation FD creation" tool (8204 in Fig. 8) is not displayed in the pull-down menu 9203. In this way, screen data that is not consistent with the work program 202 is not installed in the cash handling device 1 by mistake.

FIG. 10 shows an example of screen display during screen creation in the basic mode of the screen data generating device 2. FIG.

The screen 1001 shown adds a change indication to the operation screen (for example, "come over": 301 of FIG. 3) of a change object, and is the parts list window 1003 which can be created or changed in a basic mode. ), A property list window 1004 for displaying items that can be changed such as the display position, the size of each component on the screen, the name of the image data to be displayed, the display of the telop, the non-display, whether to blink the display, etc. The display condition window 1005 is displayed.

The parts list window 1003 and the attribute list window 1004 are linked to each other, and the parts list window 1003 is changed when the size of the parts displayed in the parts list window 1003, for example, a "text part", is changed. If "character" is clicked on, an attribute list window 1004 related to the character part is displayed, and an operator selects "size 1006" in this attribute list window 1004 by clicking with a mouse. The size of one of the attributes can be changed. Similarly, the position (position), size, name, and the like which are attributes of the image part and the animation part can also be changed. In addition, in the case of displaying a telop, which is a type of character part, or changing the display time of the displayed telop, a display condition 1007 is selected from the property list window 1004 by a mouse click operation, and the display condition window is displayed. 1005 is displayed, and a display / non-display selection, a display timer time, and the like are changed in this display condition window 1005. This makes it possible to flexibly create or change the screen data 401 only for simple screen display without depending on the creation or change of the screen data between the work program creation maker or the creation unit.

In the extended mode, for example, the function list window 1004 also has a function for displaying items that can be set such as moving to the next screen while holding the button for a few seconds.

11 is a flowchart showing processing at the start of the screen data creating device 2.

As described above, the screen data generating apparatus 2 needs to select whether to create the screen data 401 in the basic mode at the start or the screen data 401 in the extended mode. Thus, the processing unit 121 of the screen data generating apparatus 2 displays the mode selection screen at the start (step 1100), and causes the operator to select whether to use the basic mode or the extended mode. In this case, since the work program 201 needs to be changed for the screen data 401 once changed to the extended mode, the change to the basic mode is suppressed even when the screen data creating device 2 is restarted. The screen data 401 can be changed only in the extended mode.

The processing unit 121 of the screen data generating device 2 determines whether the mode selected in step 1100 is the basic mode, the extended mode, or the previous time in the extended mode, and when the previous time is the extended mode and the current time is the extended mode. The extension mode flag is turned on as an initial setting for the extension mode (step 1102). However, if the previous time is also the basic mode and this time is also the basic mode, the extended mode flag is turned off as an initial setting for the basic mode (step 1103). In this case, when the previous time is the extended mode, the basic mode is not selected, and the initial setting for the extended mode is performed. Whether or not the previous time is the extended mode can be determined by the mode flag 702 of the screen data 401 read from the external storage unit 124. If the change of the work program 201 to the screen data 401 changed in the extended mode last time is completed between the work program creation maker or the creation unit, the external storage unit 124 reads it. Since the mode flag 702 of the entered screen data 401 remains in the extended mode, it does not move to the basic mode after the change of the work program 201 is finished.

Then, the operation information is stored in the predetermined storage area as operation information for determining the extended mode or the basic mode in the subsequent processing (step 1104). The screen data generating device 2 makes a judgment based on the operation information stored in this predetermined area until it determines whether it is in the extended mode in subsequent processing.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure in the case of creating new screen data 401 by changing the screen data 401 already created using the parts list window following the start of the processing in FIG. First, the processing unit 121 of the screen data generating apparatus 2 loads the creation end screen data 401 into the storage unit 123 already from the external storage unit 124 (step 1201). Thereafter, the processing unit 121 draws and displays the screen as shown in FIG. 3 on the display unit 122 based on the loaded screen data 401 (step 1202).

Next, it is determined whether the mode selected at the start of the screen data generating apparatus 2 described in FIG. 11 is the basic mode or the extended mode (step 1203). If the extended mode is the extended mode as shown in FIG. 9A, the extended mode as shown in FIG. The screen 9110 is displayed, and the component list window 9111 for the extended mode is displayed therein (step 1204), and in the basic mode, the component list window 8101 for the basic mode as shown in FIG. 8A is displayed. (Step 1205).

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the processing following the flow of FIG. 12, using the attribute list window, and showing the processing procedure in the case of creating the desired screen data 401 by changing the creation end screen data 401 already. The processing unit 121 draws a screen as shown in FIG. 8A or 9A on the display unit 122 based on the screen data 401 loaded by the processing flowchart in FIG. 12.

In this display state, when the operator selects a part to be changed, that is, a character part, a button part, an image part, etc. by double-clicking the mouse (step 1301), the processing unit 121 determines whether or not it is in the extended mode (step 1302). In the basic mode, the attribute list window 1004 as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed, and changeable attributes such as "position", "size", "name", etc. are displayed (step 1304). However, in the extended mode, in addition to the attribute list window 1004 shown in FIG. 10, the extended mode attribute list including items related to the business program 201 such as "how many seconds to display a button" is also included. The window 1004 is displayed (step 1303).

If one of the attributes, such as "position" and "size", is selected by the operator in the attribute list window 1004 (step 1305), input of attribute data (coordinate data of the display position, etc.) according to the contents of the selected attribute The screen is displayed. The operator inputs change data such as numerical values or characters by using the attribute data input screen (step 1306), changes the size of buttons, etc., which are parts, and creates desired screen data 401 from existing screen data.

Then, in accordance with the selection operation of the display part in the parts list window, the attribute list window of the selected part is displayed as shown in FIG. 10, the display position is selected by the operator, and the screen of the desired screen configuration is displayed. Write the data.

For example, when an operator selects "character parts" in the parts list window 1003 of FIG. 10, the processor 121 determines the selection and sets the characters to be displayed on the screen. Thus, when the operator inputs the desired character "come on" from the operation unit 125, the screen data 401 having the character part "come on" is created. This enables new registration of text parts, button parts, and the like at desired locations on the screen.

By the way, as the method of creating or changing the screen data, the screen data generating device 2 displays (1) a parts list window, and when a part item is selected among them, an attribute list window is displayed and attributes such as a display position are displayed. The desired screen data 401 is created, and (2) a pre-created screen such as a "welcome" screen is displayed, and a button component such as "draw" is selected by a double-click operation. In this case, the component list window of the part is displayed, and properties such as display position are changed to prepare a method for creating or changing the desired screen data 401. In other words, the parts list window and the property list window are linked. The former method is effective when newly creating screen data or when adding a part. The latter method is used to change a part display position of a screen data 401 that has been created in advance, or to change text or text of a text part. This is effective when performing the same.

The screen data 401 changed as described above is stored in the storage unit 123 and can then be installed in the cash handling device 1 as screen data 401 of a new display screen or a display screen after change.

When the creation or change of the screen data 401 unaffected by the work program 201 ends, the screen data 401 is used for ATM installation of the referential storage unit 124 by the method described in FIG. 8B. Store in media and print out.

When the creation or change of the screen data 401 affected by the work program 201 is finished, the screen data 401 is created for the work program of the external storage unit 124 by the method described in FIG. 9B. It is stored in the medium and output. In this case, in order to identify what was created in the extended mode, the mode flag added to the screen data 401 is set to "mode flag = extended mode".

FIG. 14 shows an explanatory screen when a screen is newly created in the extended mode of the screen generating device 2. In the case of a new creation, after selecting the extended mode, a new creation screen ( 1405). For example, as shown in the "come over" text component 1403, the text component 1403 is selected by the parts list window 1401. When you click on the position where the text component 1403 is displayed, the dialog for setting the position, the field, the background color, the enlargement designation, the default text, etc. is displayed in order, and the text "Come on" in the default text setting dialog. Enter from the keyboard. When the input of the character "come over" is finished, the "come over" character part 1403 is displayed as shown in FIG.

Next, in order to display the button component 1404, the button component 1406 is selected by the component list window 1401, and then the position at which the button component 1406 is displayed is designated with a mouse click. When the display position of the button component 1406 is determined, input item dialogs for setting the attribute of the button component are sequentially displayed. Then, in order to explain the image data of the button component 1406 to be displayed at the fixed position, a bitmap selection dialog displaying various images of the button is displayed. Thus, when the operator selects the desired display button image in the bitmap selection dialog, the button part of the display image is displayed in the new creation screen 1405. Next, in order to indicate that the button component 1404 is, for example, a "payment" button, the character "payment" is input to the operator as addition of the character component. Thereby, the "payment" button 1404 is displayed as shown in FIG.

By the above repetition, desired screen data 401 composed of a combination of a character part, a button part, a moving picture part, and an animation part is created.

15 to 19 are flowcharts showing further detailed processing procedures of the screen data creating method described above. Hereinafter, the procedure for creating the desired screen data will be described in detail with reference to these flowcharts and the screen examples shown in FIGS. 21 to 34.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing from the start of the screen creation program 127 to the start of screen editing.

First, the screen creation program 127 is started (step 1501). When the screen creation program 127 is started, the processing unit 121 of the screen data creation device 2 then determines whether or not the screen creation program 127 was started in the extended mode at the time of the last startup (step) 1502) If the last startup is the basic mode, the mode selection dialog is displayed (step 1503), and the operator selects the extended mode or the basic mode (step 1504). 21 shows a display example of the mode selection dialog 2100. FIG. For example, when the operator wants to select the basic mode, as shown in Fig. 21A, the mouse cursor 2101 selects the character of the "basic mode" and then clicks the "OK" button. Thereby, the initial screen 2102 of the screen creation program (Screen Creation Utility: 127) as shown in FIG. 21B is displayed, and editing of screen data (change, deletion, addition of screen data) in the basic mode is performed. It becomes the state that can be done.

Next, when the basic mode is selected by the mode selection dialog 2100, the extended mode flag is set to OFF, that is, the mode flag = "basic mode", and a state in which a new screen cannot be created is made impossible (step). 1505).

On the other hand, when the last startup is in the extended mode, the change of the work program 201 to the screen data created at the last startup is not terminated. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress the transition to the basic mode. Therefore, step 1503 to step 1505 are skipped, and in step 1506, the extended mode flag is turned on, that is, the mode flag = "extended mode", and a new screen can be created.

After the mode setting is performed as described above, the initial screen of the screen creating program 127 is displayed (step 1507). The initial screen in the basic mode is as shown in Fig. 21B, but the same also applies to the initial screen in the extended mode.

After display of this initial screen, the process part 12 will be in the wait state of selection of a screen new creation, a screen change, or a media output function by an operator (step 1508). When the operator clicks on the "file" in the menu bar 2201 in FIG. 22A with a mouse cursor, "new creation", "open", and "end" are displayed in the pull-down menu. When "New Creation" is clicked and a new creation function of the screen is selected, the procedure proceeds to the sequence of new creation (steps 1509 and 1510), and "Open" is clicked, and the screen change function (that is, read of the creation end screen data). Is selected, the process shifts to the screen change sequence (steps 1509 and 1511). If "Tool" in the menu bar 2201 is clicked on, and a media output function (i.e., a media output tool in the menu bar) not shown is selected, the media output sequence is executed (steps 1509 and 1512). FIG. 8B and FIG. 9B show these.

Fig. 16 shows details of the new screen creation sequence and the screen update sequence. In the screen update sequence starting at step 1601, a screen selection dialog for first calling a screen to be updated is displayed (step 1602), and a screen to be updated is designated from the screen selection dialog (step 1603). The screen data 401 corresponding to the designated screen is read (step 1604), and the screen to be changed is displayed (step 1605). Specifically, when the menu 2202 of "Open File" is selected from the menu bar 2201 of FIG. 22A, the "Read Map" dialog 2203 is displayed, which is the screen selection dialog shown in FIG. 22B. Let's do it. Here, the map is screen data. In the display state of this dialog 2203, for example, map name "G000JSMP. When the operator selects MAP "2204, as shown in FIG. 23," G000JSMP. MAP " screen 2301 is displayed. In this state, the parts list window 2302 shown in FIG. 23 is not already displayed, but is displayed by the processing of step 1609 or step 1610 described later. `` G000JSMP. MAP "is screen data of the" come over "screen of the identifier" G0001 "shown in FIG.

On the other hand, in the case of the new screen creation sequence, as shown in Fig. 24A, the menu 2402 of "New Creation" is selected from the menu bar 2401, and the flag screen as shown in Fig. 24B is newly created. Displayed as 2403 (step 1607).

After the update screen or the new creation screen is displayed as described above, the processing of the new screen creation sequence and the screen update sequence are performed in common.

After displaying the screen, the processing unit 1210 first displays the current mode to the mode flag set by the execution of step 1505 or 1506, in order to display a parts list window for adding a text, an image, or the like to an update screen or a new creation screen. (Step 1608) If the mode flag is OFF, that is, the basic mode, the component list window for the basic mode in which the part having no effect on the work program 201 is registered is displayed (step 1610). In the mode, the parts list window for the extended mode including the parts such as the button parts affecting the work program 201 is displayed (step 1609.) Figures 23 and 24b show the parts list windows 2302 and 2404 for the extended mode. ) Is displayed.

After that, the operation wait state for the screen creation operation is entered (step 1612). The screen creation operation uses a parts list window to perform a part addition operation such as adding an image part or a text part (step 1615), or a part update operation of changing an image part or a text part that is displayed in advance by double-clicking a mouse. (Step 1614) and the operation (step 1616) of ending the screen creation operation by the menu selection of "Close file" branch to each process (step 1613).

FIG. 17 is a sequence activated by the part update operation of FIG. 16, and the character part 302, the image part 303, the button part 305, etc. shown in FIG. 10 are double-clicked on the display screen by mouse operation. By doing so, the component update sequence is executed (step 1701). If the part selected by the double-click is an image part, the property list window for the image part is displayed as shown in the property list window 1004 of FIG. 10 (steps 1702 and 1703). Display (steps 1702 and 1704). If the animation part is displayed, the property list window for the animated part is displayed (steps 1702 and 1705). If the same screen part is displayed, the property list window for the moving part is displayed (steps 1702 and 1706). If it is a button part, the attribute list window for the same part is displayed (steps 1702 and 1707).

Subsequently, it is determined by the mode flag whether the screen creation program 107 is started in the extended mode (step 1708). If the extended mode flag is turned on, that is, the mode flag = "extended mode", the screen is expanded to the attribute list window being displayed. Items that can only be changed in the mode are additionally displayed in the attribute list window (step 1709). Items that can only be changed in the basic mode are displayed in the basic mode.

After display of the item which can be changed in attribute according to each mode, the processing part 121 enters into the selection wait state by an operator (step 1710). An item such as a position, a size, and the like displayed in the attribute list window is selected and waited by a mouse click (step 1711). Thus, when an attribute change item such as position or size is selected by the operator, the setting dialog of the attribute change item is displayed, and the screen data is changed by input of the attribute change item in the setting dialog (step 1712). .

By repeating this step 1710 to step 1712, it is possible to change the position, size, attributes, and the like of the display component. Then, the component update sequence disclosed in step 1601 moves to step 1712 by selecting " end setting " in the attribute list window by mouse click operation, and the storage unit 123 as the screen data 401 reflecting the changed item here. Is stored, and the component update sequence ends (step 1713). After completion of the parts update sequence, the process returns to step 1611 of the screen operation standby sequence in FIG.

FIG. 25 shows an example of a screen in the case of changing the position of the image component. When changing the position of the image component 2501 as shown in the drawing, the mouse cursor 2502 is positioned at an arbitrary position of the image component 2501. Double-click to include it. That is, as shown in the figure, a changeable attribute notification window 2503 for changing an image part such as a position, an image name, and a display condition is displayed. Therefore, when "position 2504" is selected by mouse operation, as shown in FIG. 25B, the "position setting" dialog 2505 for performing detailed setting regarding the change of the display position is additionally displayed. In this state, the horizontal position and the vertical position after the movement of the image component 2501 are numerically input, for example, in pixel units, the "OK" button is selected, and the "end of setting" in the attribute list window 2503 is displayed. When is selected, as shown in Fig. 26, the image component 2501 is moved to the designated position and displayed. When the content subtraction of the image is changed, clicking the "image name" in the property list window 2503 by mouse operation causes an additional "bitmap selection" dialog (not shown) to display various candidates of the image. One of them is selected by clicking with a mouse operation.

FIG. 27 shows an example of a screen in the case of changing the position of the button component. When changing the position of the button component 2701 as shown in the drawing, the mouse cursor 2702 is positioned at an arbitrary position of the button component 2701. Double-click to include it. Then, as shown in the figure, a changeable attribute list window 2703 called position, display name, down name, up name, print name, display condition, and KEY definition is displayed. Therefore, when "position 2704" is selected by mouse operation, as shown in FIG. 27B, the "position setting" column 2705 for performing detailed setting regarding the change of the display position is additionally displayed. In this state, the horizontal position and the vertical position after the movement of the button component 2701 are numerically input, for example, in pixel units, the "OK" button is selected, and "end of setting" is displayed in the attribute list window 2703. When selected, as shown in FIG. 28A, the button component 2501 moves and is displayed at the designated position.

Here, the down name, up name, and print name are used to change the bit map name of the button component. The key definition is to set a range for determining which button to touch when touching the customer operation screen of the cash handling device.

On the other hand, in the display state of FIG. 27A, when " display condition " is selected in the attribute list window 2703, as shown in FIG. 28B, it is possible to perform detailed settings of the button display state, the blink initial state, and the blink timer. The column 2801 of "setting of display conditions" is displayed. Therefore, if "Blink present" 2802 is selected, and the time of the display name timer is set in units of 100 ms in the "Blink timer" 2803, the button component designated by the display name value is blinked in the set time unit. Will be displayed. To change the shape, shape, and the like of the button, select "display name" from the attribute list window, display the "bitmap selection dialog" having various candidates for the button, and change it by selecting from among them.

FIG. 29 shows an example of a screen when changing the position of an animated part. When changing the position of the animated part 2901 as shown in the drawing, a mouse cursor 2902 is located at an arbitrary position of the animated part 2901. Double-click to include it. Then, as shown in the figure, a changeable attribute list window 2903 such as the position, the number of patterns, the switching time, the number of repetitions, and the animation name is displayed. Therefore, when "position" 2904 is selected by mouse operation, as shown in FIG. 29B, the "position setting" column 2905 for performing detailed setting regarding the change of the display position is additionally displayed. In this state, the horizontal position and the vertical position after movement of the animation component 2901 are numerically input, for example, in pixel units, the "OK" button is selected, and the "end of setting" in the attribute list window 2907 is displayed. When selected, as shown in FIG. 30A, the animation component 2901 moves to the designated position and is displayed.

Here, the number of patterns is the number of animation component parts used for animation display, the time to display how many seconds is changed from the transition time to the next animation component, and the number of repetitions is how many times animation display is performed by multiple animation parts. A value that indicates whether to repeat.

When the "number of patterns" is selected in the display state of FIG. 29A, as shown in FIG. 30B, the "set of map switching pattern" column 2906 for detailed setting is additionally displayed. In this state, if an arbitrary switching pattern number n is set, animation display by repetition of n animation parts is performed.

Next, the part addition sequence activated by the parts list window selection of FIG. 16 is demonstrated using FIG.

First, in the case of adding a part, a part to be added is selected from the parts list window (steps 1801 and 1802), and a position where the additional part is to be displayed is designated by a mouse click. The processing unit 121 prepares, in the storage unit 123, an input table in which attribute input items required for the display of the selected additional component are defined. Specifically, if the additional part selected by the operator is an image part, an input table for image parts in which input items necessary for displaying the image part are defined is prepared (step 1803), and if it is a text part, an input table for text parts is prepared. (Step 1804). Similarly, input tables for animation parts, moving picture parts, and button parts are prepared (steps 1805, 1806, and 1807).

The input table is configured in the format as shown in FIG. In the input table 2001 shown in FIG. 20, the names of the dialogs requiring input are registered for each display component, and are registered in the display order of the dialogs displayed by the input item processing of steps 1810 to 1812 in FIG. It is. For example, a dialogue name for inputting these input items in order of position, size, name, and display condition is registered for the image part.

After preparing the input table required for each additional component, the processing unit 121 determines the mode by the mode flag 702 (step 1808), and prepares if the extended mode flag is on, that is, if the mode flag = "extended mode". The input item for which the work program 201 needs to be changed is added to the input table (step 1809).

Thereafter, the input item dialog of the selected additional part is displayed according to the input table (step 1810). Then, the required attributes are input to the operator in the order of attribute input items in the input table (step 1812). For example, when an image part is selected, input item dialogs for setting "position" and "name" are displayed in order according to the order registered in the input table. When the input of the input item in the entire input item dialog of the input table is finished (step 1811), the input value or data is stored as the screen data 401 (step 1813), and the screen operation waiting sequence of FIG. The process returns to 1611 and waits for the next operation (step 1714).

FIG. 31 is a diagram showing an example of adding a button component. In the display state of FIG. 24B, a mouse button is selected by a mouse click in the parts list window 2404, and the mouse is then moved to a position where the button is to be displayed. Specify by clicking. As a result, they are sequentially displayed in the input item dialog for adding a button component. First, the selection dialog 3101 of the bitmap image shown in FIG. 31 is displayed. This selection dialog 3101 has not only the button parts but also the moving picture parts, animation parts, image parts, and common pictures and drawings as bitmaps. When the button part tag 3102 is selected by mouse clicking, candidates for the picture of the button are displayed, and one of the buttons, for example, button 3103, to be added is selected by mouse clicking, and the OK button is clicked. do. Subsequently, a lyric dialog of the display conditions is displayed. This display condition setting dialog inputs display conditions, such as the presence or absence of a blink and a blink timer, similarly to the setting dialog 2801 of the display condition shown in FIG. 28B, and clicks the OK button.

Subsequently, a position setting dialog is displayed. This position setting dialog is similar to the position setting dialog 2705 shown in FIG. 27B, and since the value of the position specified by the mouse click is contained beforehand, it confirms and clicks an OK button.

Next, a setting dialog 3201 of the key map table shown in FIG. 32 is displayed. The setting dialog 3201 of the key map table sets an effective range of a touch panel for determining which button has been touched when the guidance operation screen of the cash handling device 1 is touched. For example, since it is set similarly to the display size of a button, an OK button is normally clicked. In the setting dialog 3201 of the key map table in FIG. 32, "touch panel effective range" 3202 and "other definition information" 3203 can be set.

Thereby, the input item of a button is set and input, and the button according to this setting input is displayed. Characters such as "deposit" and "draw" on the button part select "character" in the parts list and input as the addition of the character part. In another method, by using a bitmap of a button in which characters such as "deposit" and "draw" are previously described as the picture candidates for the button in FIG. 31, the bitmap can be selected at once by selecting the bitmap.

In addition, in the case of displaying the telop, as shown in FIG. 33, after selecting "Text" in the parts list window, the mouse cursor 3301 is used to specify a position where the telop is to be displayed, and an additional input table for the text component is displayed. According to the input item dialog, set the required input item and input the telop character. For example, as in the city, the characters "save to OO bank" are inputted. FIG. 33B is a "setting display attribute" dialog 3302, in which attributes such as a moving amount of a telop character, a constant number, a starting position when the telop character is moved, and the like are set. In the case where the telop character is set to move to the left side of the screen, for example, as shown in FIGS. 34A and 34B, the text 3303 "Storing to OO Bank" is displayed while moving.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a media output sequence when the media output tool is selected in step 1509 of FIG. 15. In this media output sequence, the mode plug 702 first determines whether the extended mode is turned on (step). 1902). If the extended mode is on, as shown in Fig. 9b, a pull-down menu 9203 in which the FD creation function for ATM installation is suppressed is displayed (step 1903). If the extended mode plug is on, as shown in Fig. 8b, the extended mode plug is turned on. The pull-down menu 8203 for which the FD creation function for ATM installation is not suppressed is displayed (step 1904).

After display of the medium output pull-down menu, the processing unit 121 waits for the medium output method selection (step 1905). Thus, when the medium output method is selected by the operator's mouse operation (step 1906), the output medium is output from the external storage unit 124 in accordance with the selected medium output method. That is, when the medium output for the work program creation is selected, the screen data 401 of FIG. 4 for the purpose of creating the work program 201 is selected in a different form (step 1907), and the FD output for the entire map installation is selected. In this case, an output medium (for example, FD) is output in the form of the screen data 401 of FIG. 4 in which all screen data that can be directly installed in the cash handling device 1 is stored (step 1908). When the FD output for the individual bit map is selected, an output medium (for example, FD) in which only the changed portion of the screen data 401 of FIG. 4 is stored is output (step 1909). After that, the process returns to operation standby step 1611 in FIG. 16 (step 1910).

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the screen data portion requiring the change of the work program by changing or modifying the screen data of the screen data used as the work program of the customer-operated automatic machine, and the change of the work program are Since it is intended to be created or updated by dividing the unnecessary screen data portion, the end user (bank vault institution or the like) can freely accept an order for use of a screen change that does not require modification of the work program.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the creation of only screen data has been described. However, by adding other input / output functions by voice, it is also possible to edit and create data including voice and the like together with the screen data.

In addition, the screen creation program, screen operation program, and screen display program used in the screen data generating apparatus 2 are stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM and installed in a general-purpose computer. The same screen data can be created and edited. Such a recording medium includes a screen program that requires a change of a work program that controls screen transition of a customer-operated automatic machine, and a processing program that creates or changes screen data that does not require a change to another mode. A processing program for displaying a screen based on the screen data is recorded.

In addition, the screen data and the change which require the change of the part data group which becomes a component of the screen data and the business program which uses this part data group and performs the screen transition control of the said customer-operated automatic machine are not required. A processing program for creating or changing screen data that is not in another mode and a processing program for displaying a screen based on the created screen data are recorded.

In this case, it goes without saying that it can be installed via a communication network such as the Internet instead of a recording medium such as a CD-ROM.

The display position can be changed by specifying a new display position in units of pixels. However, the display position can be changed by a track operation using a mouse. In addition, when creating a plurality of button parts, one button part can be copied and created.

In addition, although a button part was demonstrated as a part which needs a change of a work program, this invention is not limited to this. For example, it is necessary to change the work program even when there is a change in the number of input field items of the password. Therefore, it goes without saying that the above items are treated as necessary parts of the work program change screen.

Although the button parts can be created or changed in the extended mode even with a simple change of the display position, as shown in FIG. 35, only the addition and deletion of buttons can be processed in the extended mode. The change of the name does not require a change in the work program, and therefore can be handled in the basic mode.

Also, after the mode selection operation, the parts list window and the property list window that can be created or changed in the selected mode are displayed. On the contrary, when the part selection or the attribute selection is performed, the selected part or attribute is created and changed. It is also possible to move to a mode that can be used.

36 is a flowchart showing a process of automatically setting a mode suitable for the work content by inputting work content such as further change of parts. This mode automatic setting process is not allowed to change the mode during the creation of the screen data, so it is executed only when the screen generating apparatus is started.

First, the processing unit 121 displays a message 3701 of " Please input work contents " on the automatic selection screen 3700 of the mode as shown in FIG. 37, and is in a waiting state for inputting work contents. . In this state, the operator who wants to create or change the screen data text inputs the operation contents such as the addition and change of parts into the input field 3702. For example, text is input in the state of "add button". The processing unit 121 confirms that the work content has been input (step 3601), and refers to the basic / extended mode determination table 3610 using the characters of the input work content as keywords (step 3602). The basic / extended mode decision table 3610 configures the functions shown in FIG. 7 as data tables.

As a result, information indicative of an operation mode suitable for the operation contents input by the operator is obtained from the table 3610. The processing unit 121 confirms which mode is an operation mode suitable for the operation contents input by the operator (step 3603), and displays a confirmation screen according to the mode (steps 3604 and 3607). For example, when the operation content "button addition" is input, as shown in FIG. 37, a confirmation screen 3703 including a message meaning to automatically set to the extended mode is displayed. On the other hand, when an operator selects an "OK" button by a mouse click operation, it automatically sets to the confirmed operation mode (steps 3606 and 3609).

However, if the operator selects the "NO" button by the mouse click operation, the operation returns to the selection wait state of the operation contents of step 3601 (steps 3605 and 3608). If the "Cancel" button is selected, this mode automatic setting sequence ends.

By doing the above, it is possible for the person who performs the operation or change of the screen data to easily create the screen data without having to know in advance whether the operation should be performed in the basic mode or the extended mode. do.

As described above, according to the present invention, the screen data of the operation guide screen requiring the change of the work program for providing the first and second creation modes and performing the screen transition control of the customer-operated automatic machine in the first mode. The display screen can be created, the screen data which does not need to be changed in the second creation mode can be created, and the screen data of the operation guide screen that needs to be changed can be suppressed. Changes or corrections can be made flexibly. As a result, it is possible to flexibly change the screen data including the user interface to the end user itself of the customer-operated automatic machine without modification of the work program, and to provide services such as displaying information in various events and the like in time. Can provide. In addition, since there is no need to request a screen change between the production maker or the production unit of the work program, the screen change cost can be saved. On the other hand, if a simple change of display is made between the maker or the maker of the work program, a change in the work program becomes unnecessary, so that a factor deteriorating the quality of the work program can be eliminated.

In addition, if it was created in a mode requiring a change of the work program, by suppressing the update in a mode that does not require the change of the work program, it facilitates the change of the work program, and the work program is changed. It is possible to ensure that the work program is inconsistent with the screen data.

In addition, on the same screen of the display unit of the computer, an operation guide screen of a work target and a parts list window for designating display parts to be added to the operation guide screen are displayed and respond to selection of one of the parts list windows. To display the input items for displaying the parts on the same screen, receive the setting input according to the displayed input items, and display the parts according to the setting inputs in the area of the operation guide screen to be created; Since the guide screen is stored as the screen data, there is an effect that the desired screen data can be created by an easy operation.
