Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an automatic transaction device, an automatic transaction method, and an automatic transaction program.
Background Art
[0002] Automatic transaction devices where customers conduct transactions using cash, cash cards, etc. are installed in various locations such as financial institution branches and convenience stores. The automatic transaction device displays an operation screen on a liquid crystal screen with a touch panel for the customer to input customer information such as a PIN number and account number.
[0003] In recent years, when customers input customer information, there have been many incidents where third parties standing behind them peek at the operation screen and illegally obtain PIN numbers, etc. If the PIN number is leaked, there is a risk that deposits can be easily withdrawn when a cash card or passbook is stolen. Therefore, various preventive measures have been taken in automatic transaction devices to prevent such illegal acts.
[0004] For example, in an automatic transaction device, a static privacy film with an unchanging viewing angle is inserted between the liquid crystal screen and the touch panel to limit the viewing angle of others and prevent peeking by others. In addition, a technique for controlling the viewing angle of the display screen using a viewing angle control film provided on the display screen of the device has been proposed. Also, a technique has been proposed to switch between a wide viewing mode and a low viewing mode by applying a voltage to each pixel of the liquid crystal, and in the case of the low viewing mode, a part of the pixel is normally displayed. In addition, an automatic transaction device has been proposed that provides a viewing angle control filter on the display screen to narrow the viewing angle of the screen during transactions.
[0005] Furthermore, automatic transaction devices are also required to have elements other than deposits and withdrawals, such as the display of advertisements and important information. Display items such as advertisements and important information are preferably visible not only to customers using the operation screen but also to others standing near the automatic transaction device.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0007] However, in the technology of restricting the field of view using a static privacy film, the field of view angle of the entire screen is always restricted, making it difficult to show advertisements and the like to third parties other than customers, and it is difficult to effectively utilize the liquid crystal screen of the automatic transaction device. Also, in the technology of changing the field of view angle of the display screen using a field of view angle control film, control is performed to restrict the field of view angle of the entire screen collectively, making it difficult to show advertisements and the like to third parties other than customers during operation, and it is difficult to effectively utilize the liquid crystal screen of the automatic transaction device. This is the same for the technology using a field of view angle control filter. Moreover, in the technology of performing field of view angle control by applying a voltage to each pixel of the liquid crystal, a mechanism for applying the voltage to each pixel needs to be incorporated, and it is not easy to realize. Thus, with the conventional technology, it has been difficult to flexibly display advertisements, important information, etc., and it has been difficult to improve the convenience of the automatic transaction device.
[0008] The disclosed technology has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide an automatic transaction device, an automatic transaction method, and an automatic transaction program that improve convenience.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0009] In one aspect of the automatic transaction device, automatic transaction method, and automatic transaction program disclosed in the present application, the display control unit causes transaction information including personal information to be displayed on the operation screen according to the transaction state. The viewing angle control film can change the viewing angle and is disposed so as to overlap with the operation screen. The viewing angle control unit changes the viewing angle of the viewing angle control film according to the transaction state.
Effect of the Invention
[0010] On one side, the present invention can improve convenience.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the automatic transaction device, automatic transaction method, and automatic transaction program disclosed in the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the automatic transaction device, automatic transaction method, and automatic transaction program disclosed in the present application are not limited by the following embodiments.
Embodiment
[0013] FIG. 1 is a front view of an ATM. The ATM 1 corresponds to an example of an automatic transaction device. The ATM 1 has, for example, an operation screen 12, a user photographing camera 13, a card entrance / exit 14, and a bill deposit / withdrawal port 15. In addition, although not shown, the ATM 1 may have a coin deposit / withdrawal port or the like.
[0014] The operation screen 12 is a screen operated by a user who uses the ATM 1. The user operates the operation screen 12 to execute various transactions such as cash withdrawal, deposit, transfer, or balance inquiry.
[0015] The user photographing camera 13 is a camera for photographing a user who uses the ATM 1. However, the user photographing camera 13 can also capture images of people around the ATM 1 in addition to the user operating the ATM 1.
[0016] The card access port 14 is the transaction port for cards. When a user conducts a transaction using a card, the user inserts the card into the card access port 14 to send it into the ATM 1, and receives the card discharged from the ATM 1 through the card access port 14 after the processing is completed.
[0017] The banknote deposit / withdrawal port 15 is the transaction port for banknotes. When a user sends cash into the ATM 1, the user places the banknotes at the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 15. Also, the user receives the banknotes discharged from the ATM 1 through the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 15.
[0018] Figure 2 is a block diagram of the ATM. The ATM 1 according to this embodiment includes a control unit 110, a display unit 120, a photographing unit 130, a card processing unit 140, a banknote processing unit 150, and a power supply unit 160.
[0019] The power supply unit 160 supplies power to each of the control unit 110, the display unit 120, the photographing unit 130, the card processing unit 140, and the banknote processing unit 150. In Figure 2, a power supply line to the control unit 110 is described as an example, but actually, power supply lines also extend from the power supply unit 160 to each of the display unit 120, the photographing unit 130, the card processing unit 140, and the banknote processing unit 150. Each of the control unit 110, the display unit 120, the photographing unit 130, the card processing unit 140, and the banknote processing unit 150 operates using the power supplied from the power supply unit 160.
[0020] The display unit 120 includes an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 121, an electro-privacy film 122, and a touch panel 123 that constitute the operation screen 12 shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the display unit. The LCD 121, the electro-privacy film 122, and the touch panel 123 are laminated as shown in the laminated state 171.
[0021] The LCD 121 displays the display screen instructed by the graphic processing unit 115 of the control unit 110. For example, the LCD 121 displays operation screens used by the user in transactions, such as a card insertion guidance screen, a PIN input screen, a PIN re - input screen, an amount input screen, an amount re - input screen, an amount confirmation screen, a host communication screen, a card return screen, and an end screen. The operation screen may also be called a transaction screen. This LCD 121 is an example of a "display unit".
[0022] The electro - privacy film 122 is a film whose viewing angle of a desired area changes by applying a voltage. The viewing angle of the electro - privacy film 122 has a wide viewing angle and a narrow viewing angle. The wide viewing angle is a viewing angle that allows the operation screen displayed on the operation screen 12 to be visually recognized even when the operation screen 12 is viewed from a direction with a narrow elevation angle from the screen. The narrow viewing angle is a viewing angle that makes it difficult to visually recognize the operation screen displayed on the operation screen 12 when the operation screen 12 is viewed from a direction with a narrow elevation angle from the screen.
[0023] That is, the electro - privacy film 122 prevents peeking from the side of a specific area of the operation screen 12 by setting the viewing angle of the specific area of the operation screen 12 to a narrow viewing angle. Conversely, the electro - privacy film 122 makes the display content in a specific area of the operation screen 12 recognizable to people around by setting the viewing angle of the specific area of the operation screen 12 to a wide viewing angle.
[0024] More specifically, the electro - privacy film 122 has a panel part 122A and a light irradiation part 122B. As shown in the cross - section 172 of FIG. 3, the panel part 122A has light irradiation parts 122B provided on both sides. This electro - privacy film 122 is an example of a "viewing - angle control film". The electro - privacy film 122, which is a viewing - angle control film, is arranged to be superimposed on the LCD 121 corresponding to the display unit.
[0025] When light is irradiated from the light irradiation unit 122B to the panel unit 122A, the viewing angle is changed. For example, when no light is irradiated from the light irradiation unit 122B, the panel unit 122A has a wide viewing angle as shown in state 173. When light is irradiated from the light irradiation unit 122B, the entire surface of the panel unit 22A has a narrow viewing angle as shown in state 174, for example. The panel unit 122A switches between state 173 and state 174 depending on whether light is irradiated from the light irradiation unit 122B.
[0026] Returning to FIG. 2, the description will be continued. The touch panel 123 is an input device for operation information. The touch panel 123 receives an operation by the user and inputs information corresponding to the operation to the control unit 10.
[0027] The control unit 110 controls various operations of the ATM 1. The control unit 110 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 111, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 112, a communication control unit 113, and an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) 114. Further, the control unit 110 includes a graphic processing unit 115, a viewing angle control unit 116, an input / output interface 117, and a hard disk 118.
[0028] The CPU 111 comprehensively controls the operations of each part in the ATM 1. For example, the CPU 111 transmits and receives signals to and from the imaging unit 130 via the input / output interface 117 to cause the imaging unit 130 to perform imaging and acquire an image. Also, the CPU 111 transmits and receives signals to and from the card processing unit 140 via the input / output interface 117 to cause the card processing unit 140 to execute a transaction process using a card. Further, the CPU 111 transmits and receives signals to and from the bill processing unit 150 via the input / output interface 117 to cause the bill processing unit 150 to execute a transaction process using cash.
[0029] In addition, the CPU 111 detects the approach of the user from the image captured by the imaging unit 130. When the user is not approaching the operation screen 12, the CPU 111 causes the ATM 1 to transition to the power-saving mode. For example, the CPU 111 stops the display of the operation screen by the graphic processing unit 115.
[0030] When the user approaches the operation screen 12, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the customer waiting screen. When an instruction to start a transaction is received from the touch panel 123 or the like, the CPU 111 notifies the viewing angle control unit 116 of the start of the privacy protection mode. Then, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display an operation screen corresponding to the specified transaction. After that, the CPU 111 receives the input of operation information from the touch panel 123. Then, while instructing the graphic processing unit 115 to display an operation screen corresponding to the input operation information, the CPU 111 causes the card processing unit 140 or the bill processing unit 150 to perform transaction processing corresponding to the input.
[0031] Regarding the display of the operation screen corresponding to the operation information, the CPU 111 determines the transaction state according to the input operation information and determines the next operation screen to be displayed. This CPU 111 corresponds to an example of a "transaction control unit". That is, the CPU 111 determines the transaction state based on the input information using the input device by the user.
[0032] Then, the CPU 111 notifies the graphic processing unit 115 of the information on the next operation screen to be displayed determined, and requests the display of the next operation screen to be displayed in the transaction. In addition, the CPU 111 determines whether the next operation screen to be displayed determined has information that is the target of privacy protection. When it has information that is the target of privacy protection, the CPU 111 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to control the viewing angle of the privacy protection area.
[0033] The RAM 112 is a main storage device. The RAM 112 stores data used in the processing executed by the CPU 111.
[0034] The communication control unit 113 relays communication with external devices. For example, the communication control unit 113 relays communication between an external host computer and the CPU 111.
[0035] The FPGA 114 causes the card processing unit 140 and the bill processing unit 150 to perform transaction processing in cooperation with the CPU 111, for example. Additionally, the FPGA 114 may undertake part of the processing performed by the CPU 111.
[0036] The input / output interface 117 relays data communication between the CPU 111 and the touch panel 123, the electrical privacy film 122, the imaging unit 130, the card processing unit 140, and the bill processing unit 150.
[0037] The hard disk 118 is an auxiliary storage device. The hard disk 118 stores various types of information including transaction histories and the like.
[0038] The graphics processing unit 115 is realized by, for example, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The graphics processing unit 115 receives an instruction from the CPU 111 to display a screen on the LCD 121. Then, the graphics processing unit 115 creates the instructed screen and causes the LCD 121 to display the created screen.
[0039] The viewing angle control unit 116 receives an instruction to change the viewing angle from the CPU 111. Also, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives information on the privacy protection area that changes the viewing angle of the operation screen 12 from the graphics processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 applies a voltage to the electrical privacy film 122 to change the viewing angle of the privacy protection area to a narrow viewing angle. The details of the viewing angle control unit 116 will be described below.
[0040] The viewing angle control unit 116 according to this embodiment has two operation modes: a normal mode and a privacy protection mode. In the normal mode, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the electro-privacy film 122 so that the entire area of the electro-privacy film 122 has a wide viewing angle. The viewing angle control unit 116 operates in the normal mode except during transactions.
[0041] When a transaction is started, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives an instruction to start the privacy protection mode from the CPU 111. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 transitions to the privacy protection mode. Immediately after transitioning to the privacy protection mode, the viewing angle control unit 116 maintains the state in which the entire area of the electro-privacy film 122 has a wide viewing angle.
[0042] When the operation screen displayed on the LCD 121 includes privacy information, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives an instruction for controlling the viewing angle of the privacy protection area from the CPU 111.
[0043] In the case of controlling the viewing angle of the privacy protection area for the first time after changing to the privacy protection mode, the viewing angle control unit 116 obtains information on the signage area for displaying advertisements and messages from the graphic processing unit 115, similar to the case of changing the signage area. For example, in the case of a rectangular signage area, the viewing angle control unit 116 obtains information on the positions of two vertices arranged diagonally on the operation screen. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the electro-privacy film 122 so that the viewing angle of the privacy protection area becomes a narrow viewing angle, with the area outside the specified signage area being the privacy protection area. Thereby, the viewing angle control unit 116 applies a privacy filter to the privacy protection area.
[0044] On the other hand, in the case of changing to the privacy protection mode and controlling the viewing angle of the privacy protection area for the second and subsequent times, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives a notification of whether there is a change in the signage area from the graphic processing unit 115. When there is no change in the signage area, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the electro-privacy film 122 to maintain the setting of the privacy protection area at that time, and maintains the privacy filter at that time.
[0045] On the contrary, when there is a change in the signage area, the viewing angle control unit 116 acquires the information of the signage area from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the electro-privacy film 122 so that the viewing angle of the privacy protection area becomes a narrow viewing angle with the area other than the designated signage area as the privacy protection area. Thereby, the viewing angle control unit 116 changes the privacy filter.
[0046] On the other hand, when the operation screen displayed on the LCD 121 does not include privacy information, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives an instruction to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area from the CPU 111. When receiving the instruction to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the electro-privacy film 122 so that all areas have a wide viewing angle, cancels the setting of the privacy protection area, and releases the privacy filter.
[0047] After that, when the transaction is completed, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives an instruction to end the privacy protection mode from the CPU 111. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 transitions to the normal mode and controls the electro-privacy film 122 so that all areas have a wide viewing angle.
[0048] In this way, the viewing angle control unit 116 changes the viewing angle of the privacy protection area of the operation screen that changes according to the transaction state. That is, the viewing angle control unit 116 changes the viewing angle of the electro-privacy film 122, which is a viewing angle control film, according to the transaction state. Also, the signage area is an example of a "publicable area". That is, the viewing angle control unit 116 narrows the viewing angle of the area of the electro-privacy film 122 corresponding to a partial area excluding the publicable area on the operation screen. Further, the viewing angle control unit 116 identifies a privacy protection area, which is a partial area other than the signage area on the operation screen, notified from the graphic processing unit 155. That is, the viewing angle control unit 116 identifies, as a partial area, an area including personal information on the operation screen.
[0049] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of how the operation screen looks when the viewing angle of the privacy protection area is a narrow viewing angle. Here, person A is a user operating the operation screen 12 of the ATM1. Person B stands near the left of the ATM1 and is a person other than a user who can peek at the operation screen 12 from the side of person A. Person C stands near the right of the ATM1 and is a person other than a user who can peek at the operation screen 12 from the opposite side of person B with respect to person A.
[0050] Since person A stands in front of the operation screen 12, even when the electro-privacy film 122 is controlled by the viewing angle control unit 116 so that the viewing angle of the privacy protection area becomes a narrow viewing angle, the operation screen 12 can be visually recognized as shown in the visual recognition state 20. That is, person A can visually recognize the entire area including the signage area 23 and the privacy protection area of the operation screen 12 and can perform operations.
[0051] On the other hand, when Person B is in a state of looking at the operation screen 12 from the side and the electric privacy film 122 is controlled by the viewing angle control unit 116 to have a viewing angle with a narrow privacy protection area, the operation screen 12 can be seen as shown in the viewing state 21. That is, for Person B, a privacy filter is applied to the privacy protection area other than the signage area 23 of the operation screen 12, making it difficult to view.
[0052] When Person C is in a state of looking at the operation screen 12 from the side on the opposite side of Person B and the electric privacy film 122 is controlled by the viewing angle control unit 116 to have a viewing angle with a narrow privacy protection area, the operation screen 12 can be seen as shown in the viewing state 22. That is, for Person C also, a privacy filter is applied to the privacy protection area other than the signage area 23 of the operation screen 12, making it difficult to view.
[0053] In this way, all the information displayed on the operation screen 12 can be seen by Person A, who is the operator of the operation screen 12. In contrast, for Persons B and C who are in a state of peeking from the side, the advertisements and messages displayed in the signage area 23 can be seen, but the privacy information of Person A cannot be seen.
[0054] Returning to FIG. 2 to continue the explanation. The imaging unit 130 includes the user imaging camera 13 shown in FIG. 1. The imaging unit 130 receives control from the CPU 111 and uses the user imaging camera 13 to image the front of the ATM 1. Then, the imaging unit 130 transmits the captured image to the CPU 111.
[0055] The card processing unit 140 includes the card entrance / exit 14 shown in FIG. 1. The card processing unit 140 receives control from the CPU 111 and uses the card entrance / exit 14 to receive and return cards.
[0056] The bill processing unit 150 includes the bill deposit / withdrawal opening 15 shown in FIG. 1. The bill processing unit 150 receives control from the CPU 111 and uses the bill deposit / withdrawal opening 15 to process bill deposits and payments.
[0057] FIG. 5 is a first diagram showing an example of an operation screen during a transaction. FIG. 6 is a second diagram showing an example of an operation screen during a transaction. FIG. 7 is a third diagram showing an example of an operation screen during a transaction. FIG. 8 is a fourth diagram showing an example of an operation screen during a transaction. Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8, an example of the viewing angle control of the operation screen during a transaction will be described.
[0058] When the user approaches the ATM1 and appears in the image captured by the imaging unit 130, the CPU 111 detects the approach of the user using the image and instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the customer waiting screen. At this time, for example, the CPU 111 releases the power saving mode and transitions the ATM1 to the normal operation mode. The graphic processing unit 115 receives the display instruction for the customer waiting screen and causes the operation screen 201, which is the customer waiting screen shown in FIG. 5, to be displayed on the LCD 121.
[0059] When the user inserts the card into the card entrance / exit 14 while the operation screen 201 is being displayed, the card processing unit 140 starts reading the card. The CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display a screen indicating that the card is being read. The graphic processing unit 115 receives the display instruction and causes the operation screen 202, which is the card reading screen, to be displayed on the LCD 121.
[0060] When the card is read by the card processing unit 140, the state becomes one in which an instruction to start the transaction is received, and the CPU 111 notifies the viewing angle control unit 116 of the start of the privacy protection mode. Then, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display a screen indicating the activation of the privacy filter. The graphic processing unit 115 receives the display instruction and causes the operation screen 203, which is the privacy filter activation screen, to be displayed on the LCD 121. Thereafter, the viewing angle control unit 116 operates in the privacy protection mode until the transaction ends.
[0061] Next, the graphic processing unit 115 causes the operation screen 204, which is the transaction type selection screen shown in FIG. 6, to be displayed on the LCD 121. Since the privacy information such as which transaction to perform is included in the transaction type selection screen, the viewing angle control unit 116 acquires the information of the signage area 220 from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the viewing angle of the area 221 other than the signage area 220 in the electric privacy film 122 to a narrow viewing angle to apply a privacy filter.
[0062] On the operation screen 204, when the user selects, for example, a deposit using the touch panel 123, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the PIN input screen in the deposit process. In response to the display instruction, the graphic processing unit 115 causes the operation screen 205, which is the PIN input screen in the deposit process, to be displayed on the LCD 121. Since the PIN, which is privacy information, exists on the operation screen 205, the viewing angle control unit 116 acquires information from the graphic processing unit 115 as to whether there is a change in the signage area 220. In this case, since there is no change in the signage area 220, the viewing angle control unit 116 maintains the state of applying the privacy filter with the viewing angle of the area 221 controlled to a narrow viewing angle.
[0063] Upon receiving the input of the PIN, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the payment screen. In response to the display instruction, the graphic processing unit 115 causes the operation screen 206, which is the payment screen, to be displayed on the LCD 121. Since the payment screen does not include privacy information, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the viewing angles of all areas of the electric privacy film 122 to a wide viewing angle to release the privacy filter.
[0064] When receiving a deposit, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display a processing standby screen. Upon receiving the display instruction, the graphic processing unit 115 causes the operation screen 207, which is the processing standby screen shown in FIG. 7, to be displayed on the LCD 121. Since the processing standby screen does not contain privacy information, the viewing angle control unit 116 maintains the state where the viewing angles of all regions of the electric privacy film 122 are controlled to a wide viewing angle and the privacy filter is released.
[0065] When the deposit process is completed, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display a confirmation screen for the deposit process. Upon receiving the display instruction, the graphic processing unit 115 causes the operation screen 208, which is the confirmation screen for the deposit process, to be displayed on the LCD 121. Since privacy information such as the deposit amount exists on the operation screen 208 in the confirmation screen for the deposit process, the viewing angle control unit 116 acquires information on the signage area 220 from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 applies a privacy filter by controlling the viewing angles of the areas 222 other than the signage area 220 in the electric privacy film 122 to a narrow viewing angle.
[0066] When the confirmation button on the operation screen 208 is pressed, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display a detail issuance screen. Upon receiving the display instruction, the graphic processing unit 115 causes the operation screen 209, which is the detail issuance screen, to be displayed on the LCD 121. Since the detail issuance screen does not contain privacy information, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the viewing angles of all regions of the electric privacy film 122 to a wide viewing angle and releases the privacy filter.
[0067] After an operation is performed on the operation screen 209, the CPU 111 performs the final processing of the transaction and instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display an operation screen corresponding to the processing. The graphic processing unit 115 sequentially displays the operation screens 210 to 212 shown in FIG. 8 on the LCD 121. Since the operation screens 210 to 212 do not include privacy information, the viewing angle control unit 116 maintains a state in which the viewing angle of all regions of the electric privacy film 122 is released from the privacy filter controlled to a wide viewing angle. After the transaction is completed, the CPU 111 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to cancel the privacy protection mode. Thereafter, the viewing angle control unit 116 operates in the normal mode.
[0068] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the transaction control process in the ATM according to the first embodiment. Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the flow of the transaction control process in the automatic transaction device according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0069] When the user approaches the ATM 1 and appears in the image captured by the imaging unit 130, the CPU 111 detects the approach of the user using the image captured by the imaging unit 130 and instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the customer waiting screen. The graphic processing unit 115 displays the customer waiting screen on the LCD 121 in response to the display instruction of the customer waiting screen (step S1).
[0070] Next, the CPU 111 determines whether or not a transaction start instruction has been received from the user (step S2). If the transaction start instruction has not been received (step S2: NO), the transaction control process returns to step S1.
[0071] On the other hand, when the transaction start instruction is received (step S2: YES), the CPU 111 starts the transaction (step S3).
[0072] Then, the CPU 111 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to start the privacy protection mode. The viewing angle control unit 116 transitions to the privacy protection mode in response to the instruction from the CPU 111 (step S4).
[0073] The CPU 111 determines an operation screen corresponding to a transaction based on an input from the touch panel 123 or the like. Then, the CPU 111 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the operation screen. Further, the CPU 111 determines whether there is privacy information on the operation screen from properties or the like of the determined operation screen (step S5).
[0074] When there is no privacy information on the operation screen (step S5: NO), the viewing angle control unit 116 receives a notification of cancellation of the setting of the privacy protection area from the CPU 111. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the viewing angles of all areas of the electro-privacy film 122 to a wide viewing angle to cancel the privacy filter (step S6). Thereafter, the transaction control process proceeds to step S10.
[0075] On the other hand, when there is privacy information on the operation screen (step S5: YES), the viewing angle control unit 116 receives a notification of viewing angle control of the privacy protection area from the CPU 111. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 inquires of the graphic processing unit 115 whether there is a change in the signage area and determines it (step S7). When there is no change in the signage area (step S7: NO), the transaction control process proceeds to step S10.
[0076] On the other hand, when there is a change in the signage area (step S7: YES), the viewing angle control unit 116 receives a notification of the signage area from the graphic processing unit 115 (step S8).
[0077] Next, the viewing angle control unit 116 controls the viewing angle of the privacy protection area of the electro-privacy film 122 to a narrow viewing angle to change the privacy filter, with the area other than the notified signage area as the privacy protection area (step S9).
[0078] Thereafter, the CPU 111 determines whether the transaction has ended (step S10). If the transaction has not ended (step S10: NO), the transaction control process returns to step S5.
[0079] On the other hand, if the transaction has ended (step S10: YES), the CPU 111 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to release the privacy protection mode. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the instruction from the CPU 111, releases the privacy protection mode, and shifts to the normal mode (step S11).
[0080] As described above, the automatic transaction device according to this embodiment determines the privacy protection area according to the transaction state and the signage area, controls the electric privacy film, and narrows the viewing angle of the privacy protection area. Thereby, it is possible to prevent peeping and protect privacy information, and it is also possible to show advertisements, messages, etc. displayed in the signage area to people around during the transaction. For example, by displaying disaster information or the like in the signage area, people around can confirm the occurrence of a disaster and the evacuation method even during the transaction. In this way, the automatic transaction device can be utilized as an advertising tower for guiding the automatic transaction device itself, guiding the store, providing quick reports in case of emergency, etc. In addition, since the viewing angle can be restricted electrically, the viewing angle of the location where privacy protection is desired can be restricted, and flexible use other than the transaction on the operation screen is possible. Therefore, the convenience of the automatic transaction device can be improved.
[0081] Also, in this embodiment, the case where a privacy filter is applied to a partial area other than the signage area of the operation screen as the privacy protection area has been described. However, the automatic transaction device may apply a privacy filter to the entire operation screen, for example, from the start to the end of the transaction. Also, in this embodiment, the viewing angle control unit is transitioned to the privacy protection mode at the start of the transaction. However, the viewing angle control unit may always operate in the privacy protection mode.
Embodiment
[0082] Next, Example 2 will be described. The ATM1 according to this example is also represented by the block diagram of FIG. 2. In this example, the signage area changes. Hereinafter, the ATM1 according to this example will be described. In the following description, the operations of each part similar to those in Example 1 will be omitted.
[0083] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a privacy filter when the signage area changes. For example, the graphic processing unit 115 according to this example generates an operation screen 301 including a signage area 311 and displays it on the LCD 121. In this case, the signage area 311 occupies about the upper 1 / 4 of the operation screen 301.
[0084] Next, the graphic processing unit 115 generates an operation screen 302 including a signage area 321 and displays it on the LCD 121. In this case, the signage area 321 occupies about the upper half of the operation screen 302.
[0085] Next, the graphic processing unit 115 generates an operation screen 302 including signage areas 331 and 332 and displays it on the LCD 121. In this case, the signage area 331 occupies about the upper 1 / 8 of the operation screen 303. Also, the signage area 332 occupies about the lower half of the operation screen 303.
[0086] When the operation screen 301 is displayed, the viewing angle control unit 116 acquires information on the signage area 311 that occupies about the upper 1 / 4 of the operation screen 301 from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 applies a privacy filter with the area corresponding to about 3 / 4 from the bottom of the operation screen 301 in the electro - optical privacy film 122 as the privacy protection area 312.
[0087] Next, when the display changes from the operation screen 301 to the operation screen 302, the viewing angle control unit 116 acquires information on the signage area 321 that occupies about the upper half of the operation screen 302 from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 applies a privacy filter to the area corresponding to about the lower half of the operation screen 302 in the electro-privacy film 122 as the privacy protection area 322.
[0088] Next, when the display changes from the operation screen 302 to the operation screen 303, the viewing angle control unit 116 acquires information on the signage area 331 that occupies about the upper 1 / 8 of the operation screen 303 and the signage area 332 that occupies about the lower half from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 applies a privacy filter to the area sandwiched between the signage area 331 and the signage area 332 on the operation screen 303 in the electro-privacy film 122 as the privacy protection area 333.
[0089] FIG. 11 is a first flowchart of an example of transaction control processing when changing the signage area in the ATM according to the second embodiment. FIG. 12 is a second flowchart of an example of transaction control processing when changing the signage area in the ATM according to the second embodiment. FIG. 13 is a first diagram showing the operation screen when changing the signage area in the ATM according to the second embodiment. FIG. 14 is a first diagram showing the operation screen when changing the signage area in the ATM according to the second embodiment.
[0090] Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14, the flow of an example of transaction control processing when changing the signage area in the ATM1 will be described. Here, the screen transition in the case of a payment transaction will be mainly described. Also, here, the flow from the display of the transaction type selection screen will be described. Here, the flow of transaction control processing for one transaction will be described. The ATM1 repeats the transaction control processing described below.
[0091] As shown in FIG. 11, the graphic processing unit 115 instructs the display unit 120 to display the transaction type selection screen 401 shown in FIG. 13. At this time, since there is privacy information on the transaction type selection screen 401, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to set the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification from the CPU 111 and inquires of the graphic processing unit 115 whether there is a change in the signage area and makes a determination. In this case, since this is the first viewing angle control of the privacy protection area after the start of the transaction, the signage area is changed. Therefore, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification of the signage area from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 sets the viewing angle of the privacy protection area other than the notified signage area to a narrow viewing angle and applies a privacy filter to a part of the screen as shown in the transaction type selection screen 401. The display unit 120 displays the transaction type selection screen 401 using the LCD 121 and the electric privacy film 122 (step S101).
[0092] Next, the CPU 11 determines whether the touch panel 123 has been operated by the user and the transaction key has been pressed (step S102). If the transaction key has not been pressed (step S102: NO), the CPU 11 waits until the transaction key is pressed.
[0093] If the transaction key has been pressed (step S102: YES), the CPU 11 determines whether the selected transaction is a payment (step S103).
[0094] If a transaction other than payment is selected (step S103: NO), the CPU 11 executes the processing of other transactions (step S104). Also in other transactions, viewing angle control corresponding to the transaction is performed in the same manner as in the payment transaction, but the description is omitted here. Then, the CPU 11 ends the transaction control process.
[0095] On the other hand, when a payment transaction is selected (step S103: affirmative), the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the card insertion screen 402 shown in FIG. 13. The graphic processing unit 115 generates the card insertion screen 402 according to the instruction and instructs the display unit 120 to display it. At this time, since there is no privacy information on the card insertion screen 402, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification and cancels the privacy filter. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electric privacy film 122 to display the card insertion screen 402 (step S105).
[0096] The CPU 11 determines whether a card has been inserted into the card entrance / exit 14 (step S106). If no card has been inserted (step S106: negative), the CPU 11 waits until a card is inserted.
[0097] On the other hand, when a card is inserted (step S106: affirmative), the card processing unit 140 performs a card check to determine whether the card is defective (step S107). If the card is defective (step S107: affirmative), the CPU 11 receives a notification of card defect from the card processing unit 140 and instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the card NG media return screen 403 in FIG. 13. The graphic processing unit 115 generates the card NG media return screen 403 according to the instruction and instructs the display unit 120 to display it. At this time, since there is no privacy information on the card NG media return screen 403, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 maintains the state of privacy filter cancellation. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 to display the card NG media return screen 403 (step S108). After that, the transaction control process proceeds to step S134 in FIG. 13.
[0098] On the other hand, when the card is not defective (step S107: NO), the CPU 11 receives a notification of a good card from the card processing unit 140 and instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the PIN input screen 404 in FIG. 13. At this time, since there is privacy information on the PIN input screen 404, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to control the viewing angle of the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification from the CPU 111, inquires of the graphic processing unit 115 whether there is a change in the signage area, and makes a determination. In this case, since this is the first viewing angle control of the privacy protection area after the start of the transaction, the signage area is changed. Therefore, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives a notification of the signage area from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 sets the viewing angle of the privacy protection area other than the notified signage area to a narrow viewing angle, and applies a privacy filter to a part of the screen as shown in the PIN input screen 404. The display unit 120 displays the PIN input screen 404 using the LCD 121 and the electro-privacy film 122 (step S109).
[0099] Next, the CPU 11 determines whether the user has operated the touch panel 123 and completed the input of the PIN (step S110).
[0100] When the input of the PIN has not been completed (step S110: NO), the CPU 11 determines whether the user has operated the touch panel 123 and pressed the correction key (step S111).
[0101] When the correction key has not been pressed (step S111: NO), the transaction control process returns to step S110.
[0102] On the other hand, when the correction key has been pressed (step S111: YES), the CPU 11 clears the input PIN data (step S112).
[0103] Next, the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the PIN re - entry screen 405 of FIG. 13. Since there is privacy information on the PIN re - entry screen 405, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to perform viewing angle control for the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification from the CPU 111, inquires of the graphic processing unit 115 whether there is a change in the signage area, and makes a determination. In this case, there is no change in the signage area. Therefore, the viewing angle control unit 116 maintains the privacy filter at that time. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electro - privacy film 122 to display the PIN re - entry screen 405 (step S113). After that, the transaction control process returns to step S110.
[0104] On the other hand, when the input of the PIN is completed (step S110: affirmative), the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the amount input screen 406 of FIG. 13. Since there is privacy information on the amount input screen 406, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to perform viewing angle control for the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification from the CPU 111, inquires of the graphic processing unit 115 whether there is a change in the signage area, and makes a determination. In this case, there is no change in the signage area. Therefore, the viewing angle control unit 116 maintains the privacy filter at that time. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electro - privacy film 122 to display the amount input screen 406 (step S114).
[0105] The CPU 11 determines whether the touch panel 123 has been operated by the user and the confirmation key has been pressed (step S115).
[0106] If the confirmation key has not been pressed (step S115: negative), the CPU 11 determines whether the touch panel 123 has been operated by the user and the correction key has been pressed (step S116).
[0107] When the correction key is not pressed (step S116: NO), the transaction control process returns to step S115.
[0108] On the other hand, when the correction key is pressed (step S116: YES), the CPU 11 clears the input amount data (step S117).
[0109] Next, the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the amount re - input screen 407 in FIG. 13. Since there is privacy information on the amount re - input screen 407, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to perform viewing angle control for the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification from the CPU 111, inquires of the graphic processing unit 115 whether there is a change in the signage area, and makes a determination. In this case, there is no change in the signage area. Therefore, the viewing angle control unit 116 maintains the privacy filter at that time. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electro - optical privacy film 122 to display the amount re - input screen 407 (step S118). After that, the transaction control process returns to step S115.
[0110] On the other hand, when the confirmation key is pressed (step S115: YES), the CPU 11 determines whether the amount has been input (step S119). When the amount has not been input (step S119: NO), the transaction control process returns to step S115.
[0111] On the other hand, if the amount has been input (step S119: affirmative), the transaction control process proceeds to step S120 in FIG. 12. Next, the CPU 11 confirms that the amount has been input and instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the amount confirmation screen 408 in FIG. 14. Since there is privacy information on the amount confirmation screen 408, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to perform viewing angle control for the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification from the CPU 111, inquires of the graphic processing unit 115 whether there is a change in the signage area, and makes a determination. In this case, since the signage area of the amount re-input screen 407 is different from the signage area of the amount confirmation screen 408, the signage area is changed. Therefore, the viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification of the signage area from the graphic processing unit 115. Then, the viewing angle control unit 116 sets the viewing angle of the privacy protection area other than the notified signage area to a narrow viewing angle, and applies a privacy filter to a part of the screen as shown in the amount confirmation screen 408. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electric privacy film 122 to display the amount confirmation screen 408 (step S120).
[0112] The CPU 11 determines whether the touch panel 123 has been operated by the user and the correction key has been pressed (step S121). If the correction key has been pressed (step S121: affirmative), the transaction control process returns to step S114.
[0113] On the other hand, if the correction key has not been pressed (step S121: negative), the CPU 11 determines whether the touch panel 123 has been operated by the user and the confirmation key has been pressed (step S122). If the confirmation key has not been pressed (step S122: negative), the transaction control process returns to step S121.
[0114] On the other hand, if the confirmation key has been pressed (step S122: affirmative), the CPU 11 generates a payment transaction message (step S123).
[0115] Further, the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the standby screen 409 in FIG. 14. Since there is no privacy information on the standby screen 409, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area. The viewing angle control unit 116 receives the notification from the CPU 111 and cancels the privacy filter. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electro-privacy film 122 to display the standby screen 409 (step S124).
[0116] Then, the CPU 11 executes host communication processing to transmit a payment transaction message to the host using the communication control unit 113 (step S125).
[0117] Thereafter, the CPU 11 determines whether a response message, which is a response to the transmitted payment transaction message, has been received from the host via the communication control unit 113 (step S126). If the response message has not been received (step S126: NO), the CPU 11 waits until the response message is received.
[0118] On the other hand, if the response message has been received (step S126: YES), the CPU 11 checks the response message and determines whether a payment permission response has been received (step S127).
[0119] If a payment permission response has been received (step S127: YES), the CPU 11 causes the bill processing unit 150 to execute cash counting processing (step S128).
[0120] After the completion of the cash counting processing, the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the media return screen 410 in FIG. 14. Since there is no privacy information on the media return screen 410, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area. Since the viewing angle control unit 116 has already canceled the privacy filter, it maintains that state. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electro-privacy film 122 to display the media return screen 410 (step S129).
[0121] Next, the CPU 11 instructs the card processing unit 140 and the bill processing unit 150 to perform media return processing. The card processing unit 140 discharges the card from the card entrance / exit 14, and the bill processing unit 150 sends bills of the specified payment amount to the bill deposit / withdrawal opening 15, and each executes media return processing (step S130).
[0122] Next, the CPU 11 determines whether each medium corresponding to the card and cash has been withdrawn (step S131). If the medium has not been withdrawn (step S131: NO), the CPU 11 waits until the medium is withdrawn.
[0123] On the other hand, if the medium has been withdrawn (step S131: YES), the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the transaction completion screen 4110 in FIG. 14. Since there is no privacy information on the transaction completion screen 411, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area. Since the viewing angle control unit 116 has already canceled the privacy filter, it maintains that state. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electro-privacy film 122 to display the transaction completion screen 411 (step S132). Thereafter, the CPU 11 ends the transaction control process.
[0124] On the other hand, if the payment permission response is not received (step S127: NO), the CPU 11 instructs the graphic processing unit 115 to display the transaction NG media return screen 412 in FIG. 14. Since there is no privacy information on the transaction NG media return screen 412, the CPU 11 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to cancel the setting of the privacy protection area. Since the viewing angle control unit 116 has already canceled the privacy filter, it maintains that state. The display unit 120 uses the LCD 121 and the electro-privacy film 122 to display the transaction NG media return screen 412 (step S133).
[0125] Thereafter, the CPU 11 instructs the card processing unit 140 to perform a media return process. The card processing unit 140 discharges the card from the card entrance / exit 14 and executes the media return process (step S134).
[0126] Next, the CPU 11 determines whether the medium corresponding to the card has been extracted (step S135). If the medium has not been extracted (step S135: NO), the CPU 11 waits until the medium is extracted.
[0127] On the other hand, if the medium has been extracted (step S135: YES), the CPU 11 ends the transaction control process.
[0128] As described above, in the automatic transaction device according to the present embodiment, the signage area changes according to the operation screen. Then, the automatic transaction device changes the position of the privacy filter in accordance with the change in the signage area. As a result, the area for arranging the signage area can be freely selected for each operation screen, and the role of the automatic transaction device as an advertising tower can be set more flexibly. Therefore, the flexible utilization range other than the transactions on the operation screen is expanded, and the convenience of the automatic transaction device can be improved.
Embodiment
[0129] Next, Embodiment 3 will be described. The ATM 1 according to the present embodiment is also represented by the block diagram of FIG. 2. The ATM 1 according to the present embodiment controls the privacy filter based on the image captured by the user imaging camera 13. Hereinafter, the ATM 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. In the following description, the operations of the respective parts similar to those in Embodiment 1 are omitted.
[0130] The CPU 111 acquires an image captured by the user photography camera 13. Then, the CPU 111 detects the approach of the user to the ATM 1 using the acquired image. That is, the CPU 111 determines a transaction state such as whether the user starts a transaction. This CPU 111 is an example of a "transaction control unit". The CPU 111 determines the transaction state based on the information captured by the user photography camera 13.
[0131] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the viewing angle control due to the approach of the user. In FIG. 15, it is illustrated that a privacy filter is applied by adding a hatching pattern to the electro-privacy film 122.
[0132] When the approach of the user is not detected as in the state 501, if the viewing angle control unit 116 is operating in the privacy protection mode, the CPU 111 stops the privacy protection mode and transitions to the normal mode. In this case, the viewing angle of the electro-privacy film 122 is wide over the entire area and the privacy filter cannot be applied.
[0133] On the other hand, when the approach of the user is detected as in the state 502, the CPU 111 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to start the privacy protection mode and transitions the viewing angle control unit 116 to the privacy protection mode.
[0134] When receiving an instruction to start the privacy protection mode, the viewing angle control unit 116 transitions to the privacy protection mode. For example, as shown in the state 502, when the user approaches the ATM 1, the viewing angle control unit 116 narrows the viewing angle of the electro-privacy film 122 and applies a privacy filter.
[0135] Also, when receiving an instruction to stop the privacy protection mode in the state of the privacy protection mode, the viewing angle control unit 116 transitions to the normal mode. For example, as shown in the state 501, when the user is away from the ATM 1, the viewing angle control by the electro-privacy film 122 is released.
[0136] (Modified Example) The CPU 111 acquires an image captured by the user's camera 13. Then, the CPU 111 uses the acquired image to check the user and the surrounding situation of the user. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the viewing angle control based on the surrounding situation of the user.
[0137] When there are no other objects other than the person A (the user) around the ATM 1 as in the state 511 of FIG. 16, if the viewing angle control unit 116 is operating in the privacy protection mode, the CPU 111 stops the privacy protection mode and makes a transition to the normal mode.
[0138] When there are other persons such as person B or C in addition to person A around the ATM 1 as in the state 512, the CPU 111 instructs the viewing angle control unit 116 to start the privacy protection mode and makes the viewing angle control unit 116 transition to the privacy protection mode.
[0139] Upon receiving an instruction to start the privacy protection mode, the viewing angle control unit 116 makes a transition to the privacy protection mode. For example, as shown in the state 512, when there are other persons such as person B or C other than person A around the ATM 1, the viewing angle control unit 116 narrows the viewing angle of the electro-privacy film 122 to apply a privacy filter.
[0140] Also, in the state of the privacy protection mode, when the viewing angle control unit 116 receives an instruction to stop the privacy protection mode, it makes a transition to the normal mode. For example, as shown in the state 511, when there are no other persons other than person A around the ATM 1, the viewing angle control unit 116 releases the privacy filter by the electro-privacy film 122.
[0141] As described above, the automatic transaction device according to the present embodiment controls the transition to the privacy protection mode using the image captured by the user shooting camera. As a result, the flexible usage range other than transactions on the operation screen is expanded, and it is also possible to improve the visibility of the screen on which privacy information is displayed, etc., and the convenience of the automatic transaction device can be improved.
