Description

Automatic teller machine and its operation method {ATM and method for operatring the same}

The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine for controlling a multi-monitor and a control method thereof.

In general, automated teller machines (ATMs) provide many of the tasks performed by financial institutions such as banks and village vaults. For example, a user can perform financial transactions such as bank transfer, balance inquiry, deposit withdrawal and bank account arrangement in a short time without going through the bank clerk, and can use the financial transaction at any time after the financial institution's business is finished. have.

Therefore, ATMs can provide unattended services without financial counseling, regardless of time, quickly and conveniently with regard to financial services.

For this purpose, the automated teller machine generally includes an input / output function of data, a man-machine interface function, a data processing function of a communication control function, and the like.

In addition, the automated teller machine may be implemented as a multi-monitor consisting of a plurality of monitors, such as a customer monitor, a cashier monitor.

For example, a customer monitor is located in front of the automated teller machine, and the customer monitor performs a function of displaying information necessary for the customer to correctly perform a financial transaction. In addition, a cashier's monitor is located at the rear of the automatic teller machine, and performs a function of displaying an operating state, a failure state, etc. of the automated teller machine so that a manager in charge of the automatic teller can easily grasp the state of the automated teller machine.

The multi-monitor consisting of a plurality of monitors is controlled by the control unit of the automated teller machine, and for this purpose, the control unit must be fixed separately according to the number of monitors or the environment of each automated teller machine.

That is, the monitor located in the front should be set to be used as a customer monitor, and likewise, the monitor located in the rear should be set in the control unit to use as a monitor for the staff.

However, if the monitor signal is changed during the booting of the automated teller machine, the monitor for the customer and the cashier is changed. As a result, the customer screen and the cashier screen may be changed so that the customer may see the cashier screen. There is a problem that risk of financial accidents can occur.

For example, during the initial hardware setup or maintenance setup of an automated teller machine, if the input cables of each monitor are plugged in opposite to each other, the teller machine application will assume that the monitor actually located on the front is located on the back. As a result, it is assumed that the monitor located at the rear is located at the front, and the automatic teller management application transmits the information to be output to the cashier monitor to the front monitor so that the customer can be loaded on the cashier monitor. There is a problem with seeing the information.

In addition, if the position of the monitor is incorrectly set during the environment setting of the controller, there is a risk that the customer screen and the employee screen are changed so that the customer can see the employee screen.

An object of the present invention is to propose a method for preventing a malfunction in the multi-monitor of the automated teller machine.

The present invention provides a multi-monitor having a plurality of monitors having a unique ID of hardware, a data storage unit for storing monitor attribute information for each monitor, monitor attribute information in the data storage unit, and monitor attribute information acquired from a system. If different from each other, the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit is stored in the monitor attribute information obtained from the system, and then the control unit for controlling the multi-monitor using the monitor attribute information of the changed data storage unit.

The present invention also provides a method of acquiring monitor attribute information grasped by a system, a process of comparing monitor attribute information of a previously stored data storage unit with monitor attribute information of the acquired system, a monitor attribute information of the data storage unit, and If the acquired monitor attribute information is the same, the multi-monitor is controlled using the monitor attribute information of the existing data storage unit. If the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit and the monitor attribute information of the system are different from each other, the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit is After changing and storing the monitor attribute information acquired in the step of controlling the multi-monitor using the monitor attribute information of the changed data storage unit.

According to the present invention, even when the multi-monitor setting of the automatic teller machine is wrong, the multi-monitor is controlled by using the system attribute information obtained by the system at the time of operation, thereby preventing the monitor malfunction.

Hereinafter, a detailed description of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the reference numerals to the components of the drawings it should be noted that the same reference numerals as possible even if displayed on different drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an automated teller machine for driving a multi-monitor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The multi-monitor 120 has a plurality of monitors, and displays the information received from the control unit on each monitor.

For example, the first monitor 120a may be driven by a customer monitor of the automated teller machine. In this case, the first monitor 120a may include an account number input, an account balance, and a deposit and withdrawal history. The necessary customer financial information is displayed according to the ongoing financial transaction status.

Similarly, the second monitor 120b may be driven by a cashier's monitor of the automated teller machine. In this case, the second monitor 120b may include cash and check holdings, non-receipt and rejects (defects). Banknotes that cannot be used in banknotes or ATMs, network status (line speed, online connection), collection information (card, bankbook, statement information due to user's non-receipt), various device button descriptions, device status description Information, such as a function button, can be used by the cashier to check the status of the relevant automatic teller machine.

Each monitor 120a, 120b, 120n constituting the multi-monitor 120 has a hardware unique ID. Each monitor has a hardware identification ID as a hardware identifier. When the monitor is set in the automated teller machine, a unique hardware identification ID is identified on the system (eg, OS) and transmitted to the controller 100.

Conventionally, the coordinates of each monitor are fixed when the monitor is driven. In this case, an error occurs when the monitor setting is incorrect. For example, the first monitor plugged into port 1 is fixedly set to coordinates (0,0) to (1024,768), and the second monitor plugged into port 2 is set to coordinates (1024,0) to (1824,600). Assuming that it is set to (), port 1 displays customer screens of coordinates (0,0) to (1024,768), and port 2 displays coordinates (1024,0) to (1824,600). Data transmission is made so that the screen for the staff is displayed.

However, under such a fixed setting structure, when monitor settings are incorrectly plugged in for each port, a problem may arise in that information for different uses is displayed on each monitor.

In order to overcome this problem, the present invention has a data storage unit 110, and compares the monitor attribute information in the data storage unit with the monitor attribute information grasped on the system, and takes a method of driving each monitor.

The data storage unit 110 stores monitor attribute information to be used for driving a monitor for each monitor. The data storage unit may be implemented in various ways such as a DB, a local file, and a register.

The monitor attribute information stored in the data storage unit is data information input by an administrator at the time of monitor setting, and the monitor attribute information stored in the data storage unit is called by the controller to be used for driving each monitor.

The hardware identification ID is a unique ID of each monitor, and a hardware unique ID is used as the hardware identification ID.

The monitor order is information that determines the purpose of the monitor. The monitor order is information that is used for the purpose of the automated teller machine such as a customer or a secondary.

The resolution is information about the resolution of the monitor, and the coordinates are information that sets which coordinate position the monitor is located.

The control unit 100 performs a control to drive each monitor in the multi-monitor. For this control, the monitor property information is read from the data storage unit and the monitor is driven according to the monitor property information.

If the monitor is incorrectly connected or misconfigured during the maintenance of the monitor, the monitor property information stored in the set data storage unit and the monitor property information actually recognized by the system may be different from each other and cause a malfunction.

For example, the first monitor 120a having the hardware identification ID of Ox01 sets the resolution of 1024 × 768 and coordinates of (0,0) to (1024,768) in the data storage unit as initially set monitor attribute information. If it is assumed that, if the monitor setting changes during the operation and maintenance of the automated teller machine, the monitor attribute information of the first monitor actually detected on the system is different from the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit 110. Will have and coordinates.

In such a state, if the monitor is driven by using the existing monitor attribute information in the data storage unit 110, there is a fear that a monitor malfunction occurs.

In order to overcome this problem, the control unit 100 compares the monitor attribute information in the data storage unit 110 with the monitor attribute information actually grasped by the system before driving the monitor, and if it is different from each other, the data storage unit 110. After changing and saving the monitor attribute information of the monitor into the monitor attribute information identified by the system, the monitor is driven with the changed information.

This comparison compares each monitor by using a unique hardware identification ID of the monitor as a key value and using this as an identifier.

For example, FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which the monitor attribute information stored in the data storage unit 110 and the monitor attribute information actually detected on the system are different.

As shown in FIG. 2 (a), in case of the second monitor having the hardware identification ID of Ox02, the resolution and coordinates that are recognized by the system due to the change of the setting of the second monitor during the maintenance operation are stored in the previously set data. It may differ from the negative resolution and coordinates.

If the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit is different from the monitor attribute information of the system, the controller changes and stores the monitor attribute information of the second monitor in the data storage unit to match the monitor attribute information of the system as shown in FIG. To ensure that the monitor works correctly as its intended purpose.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation process of an automated teller machine driving a multi-monitor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the automated teller machine is booted, the control unit acquires the monitor attribute information grasped on the system of the monitors mounted on the automated teller machine (S301).

The monitor attribute information grasped in the system is the actual attribute information of the monitor which the monitor is installed in the automated teller machine and is managed under the management of the OS. The monitor attribute information includes hardware identification ID, monitor order, resolution, and coordinates which are unique IDs of the monitor.

The controller determines whether the acquired monitor attribute information of the system matches the preset monitor attribute information of the data storage unit (S302), and if so, drives the monitor using the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit as it is (S304).

On the other hand, if the monitor attribute information of the acquired system does not match the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit due to the monitor setting or environment setting change, the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit is changed and stored as the monitor attribute information of the system (S303). ). This comparison compares each monitor with its unique hardware identification ID as a key value.

Thereafter, the monitor is driven using the monitor attribute information of the changed-stored data storage unit (S304) so that a correct monitor display is achieved.

If you run the monitor as it is without changing the monitor attribute information in the data storage, the contents to be displayed on the primary monitor and the secondary monitor may be reversed, or nothing may be displayed. have.

For example, if the monitor setting and environment is normally set, the monitor attribute information of the system will be grasped as coordinates as shown in FIG. 4 (a). Accordingly, the monitor attribute information initially stored in the data storage unit is also shown in FIG. 4 (b). do.

However, if the actual coordinates of the customer monitor and the cashier monitor are changed due to the change of the monitor setting, the monitor attribute information in the data storage unit does not match the actual system.

By changing and driving the monitor attribute information of the data storage unit which does not coincide with the monitor attribute information grasped by the system, a correct operation occurs.

For example, there are coordinates (1024,0) to (1824,600) of the cashier monitor in the existing data storage unit, and the cashier monitor actually mounted on the automated teller machine is shown in FIGS. When it is grasped that it has a coordinate of 800,0)-(0,600), information cannot be displayed on the screen of an actual meter monitor.

Since the meter monitor is actually located at coordinates (-800,0) to (0,600), the meter monitor does not exist at the coordinates (1024,0) to (1824,600) in the monitor attribute information of the data storage. Therefore, no driver information can be displayed when driving with the monitor attribute information of the existing data storage unit.

Therefore, the coordinates of the monitor for the accountant described in the coordinate information of the data storage unit must be changed to the coordinates of the monitor attribute information of the system that is actually acquired from (-800,0) to (0,600) coordinates as shown in FIG. The display for the staff can be displayed correctly on the staff monitor.
