There is no. Therefore, the present invention can display the display data at a position that is easy to see for each user in a short time and without any danger.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the second embodiment of the present invention, a configuration using an ATM 20 (automatic teller machine) as the display control device 10 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the ATM 20 of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an external view of the ATM 20. 2 and 3 show an example of the ATM 20, and the shape and configuration are not limited to those shown in the figure.

  The ATM 20 is also called an automatic teller machine, and is an apparatus that automates transactions such as cash deposits, withdrawals and transfers at financial institutions. In particular, ATM 20 installed in a convenience store or the like employs a structure in which a display unit is provided on a vertical surface as shown in FIG. In addition to the ATM 20, the display control device 10 is called a kiosk terminal, which is a store terminal placed in a convenience store, a POS (point of sales) terminal that is a store accounting device, or a stationary type. There is an electronic device such as a game machine having a size equal to or larger than that of the ATM 20. That is, the display control apparatus 10 of the present invention has a display unit on the vertical surface of the apparatus as shown in FIG. 3, and is designed to allow an unspecified number of users to view display data displayed on the display unit. It can be an electronic device.

  First, the structure of the ATM 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The ATM 20 includes a camera 21 as a detection unit for detecting the user's body position, a display unit 22 and a control unit 23, and further includes a card reader 26, a passbook reader 27, a deposit / withdrawal machine 28, and a communication unit 29. Have.

  The camera 21 is installed on the user surface (hereinafter also referred to as the front surface) of the ATM 20 so that the height of the user (for example, the position of the eyes and the top of the head) can be detected when the user comes before the ATM 20. The user may be standing or sitting, and the camera 21 is installed at a position that assumes the posture. In FIG. 3, it is assumed that the user is standing.

  A card reader 26, a passbook reader 27, and a deposit / withdrawal machine 28 are also arranged on the front surface of the ATM 20 so that the user can operate them. The control unit 23 and the communication unit 29 are installed inside the ATM 20. Note that the positions of the camera 21, the card reader 26, the passbook reader 27, the deposit / withdrawal machine 28, etc. shown in FIG. 3 are merely examples, and can be installed in other locations as long as the purpose can be achieved. Although not shown, an input device such as a keyboard may be provided on the front surface.

  The display unit 22 is a display device such as an LCD (liquid crystal display) or a CRT (cathode-ray tube), and can display display data in a display area determined according to the control unit 23. The display unit 22 is disposed at a height that allows the display data to be displayed at positions that are easy to see for users of various heights, and is disposed at an angle perpendicular to or close to the front surface of the ATM 20. The display unit 22 has a size in the height direction in which the display area can be displayed at a position that is easy for the user to view by changing the display area to be displayed in the height direction according to the height of the user. .

  Further, the display unit 22 is equipped with a transparent touch panel on the surface thereof, and also has a function as an input device by displaying an operation screen. However, the ATM 20 can also be configured to be equipped with an input device such as a keyboard or a touch pad independently of the display unit 22.

  Next, the function will be described with reference to FIG. The camera 21 captures a user in front of the ATM 20 according to an instruction from the control unit 23 and outputs the captured image to the control unit 23. The card reader 26 reads an ID (identification) card, which is a card-type medium storing identification information for authenticating the person, in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 23, and outputs the read result to the control unit 23. Examples of the ID card include an IC card on which an IC (integrated circuit) chip capable of storing identification information is mounted, a magnetic card storing identification information magnetically, and the like.

  The passbook reader 27 reads the identification information for authenticating the person from the magnetic recording unit or IC chip attached to the bank passbook according to the instruction of the control unit 23 and outputs it to the control unit 23, or the transaction result from the control unit 23. In response to the instruction, it prints on the passbook. The depositing and dispensing machine 28 is a device that accepts or pays out cash in accordance with instructions from the control unit 23. The communication unit 29 is a device that connects the ATM 20 and the financial institution center via a communication line, and exchanges data with the financial institution center according to an instruction from the control unit 23.

  The control unit 23 includes a processor 24 that executes a program and a storage unit 25 that stores the program and data. The storage unit 25 includes a main memory that is directly accessed from the processor 24, and includes an auxiliary memory such as a magnetic disk device as necessary. When access from the processor 24 is necessary, information in the auxiliary memory is transferred to the main memory and accessed from the processor 24.

  The storage unit 25 stores a program executed by the ATM 20, a boundary value table, a reference height table, and a current reference high value. The program includes an OS (operating system) and an application program for performing processing to be executed by the ATM 20. Further, the boundary value table, the reference height table, and the current reference height value will be described in detail in the operation description described later.

  The processor 24 is connected to the camera 21, the display unit 22, the storage unit 25, the card reader 26, the passbook reader 27, the deposit / withdrawal machine 28, and the communication unit 29, and exchanges data with each other, Control the operation.

  Next, the operation of the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the ATM 20, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing in detail the operation (step S51) for determining the display position of the display area in the operation of FIG. The operation procedure shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is programmed, and the control unit 23 is held in the storage unit 25. Note that the operation shown in FIG. 4 shows an example of a general operation common to the ATM 20.

  Referring to FIG. 4, first, when the user stands in front of the ATM 20, the control unit 23 performs an operation for determining the display position of the screen (S 51). The procedure of step S51 will be described with reference to FIG. The control unit 23 causes the camera 21 to capture images at regular intervals, analyzes the captured images, and monitors whether a face can be detected. When the face is detected, the control unit 23 specifies the body position from the image (S61). Here, the body position is the eye level.

  When the height of the body position is specified, the control unit 23 compares the specified height of the body position with the boundary value registered in the boundary value table held in the storage unit 25 to determine the area ( S62). The area is determined in advance, and is an area obtained by dividing a photographed image in the height direction by a boundary value. The boundary value table is a table in which boundary values are registered in descending order (in the order of boundary values 01, 02, 03). The boundary value is a value indicating the coordinate in the height direction of the photographed image, and indicates the coordinate in the height direction of the boundary between the areas.

  The control part 23 can determine the area applicable to a user by comparing the height of a body position with the boundary value of a boundary value table in order. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the captured image, the boundary value, and the area. The area is divided into four areas 01 to 04 in the height direction by the boundary values 01 to 03 registered in the boundary value table. However, in the present invention, the number of divisions and coordinates are not particularly limited, and it is possible to divide into N areas by defining N-1 (N is an integer of 2 or more) boundary values. .

  FIG. 6A shows a case where the eye position, which is a body position, is between the boundary value 01 and the boundary value 02 and the body position is specified as the area 02. FIG. 6B shows a case where the body position is between the boundary value 02 and the boundary value 03 and the body position is specified as the area 03.

  Next, the control unit 23 refers to the reference height table in the storage unit 25, acquires the reference high value corresponding to the determined area, and writes the acquired reference high value in the current reference high value in the storage unit 25 (S63). The reference high value is a value indicating a reference for the height of the display area to be displayed to the current user. For example, the reference high value can be determined so that the display data is displayed slightly below the position of the user's eyes. The reference height value is associated with the area number and registered in the reference height table. When displaying the display data on the display unit 22, the control unit 23 controls the height of the center of the display area of the display data to be the current reference high value. Thereby, this invention can display display data in the height which a user can see easily.

  Next, the control unit 23 displays a guidance screen at the height of the display unit 22 according to the current reference high value (S52). The guidance screen is, for example, a window format, and includes a message that prompts the user to insert an ID card or a passbook in a window (corresponding to a display area), and a diagram showing the positions of the card reader 26 and the passbook reader 27. The control unit 23 determines the coordinates and size of the window by calculating so that the center height of the window of the guidance screen becomes the current reference height value, and displays the display data on the display unit 22. The format of the guidance screen is not limited to the above format and may not be a window format. For example, only a message prompting insertion of an ID card or a passbook may be displayed as display data. In this case, if the message is two lines, the control unit 23 may determine the display area so that the height between the lines becomes the current reference high value, and display the display data.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display area (for example, a window). FIG. 7A is a diagram showing an example of a display area when the body position corresponds to the area 02. FIG. The size of the display area (for example, the guidance screen) in the height direction is adjusted to the same size in the vertical direction around the reference height value of the area 02. The size in the horizontal direction is arbitrary, and the size in the height direction and the horizontal direction can be adjusted according to the display amount. FIG. 7B is a diagram showing an example of a display area when the body position corresponds to the area 03. The display area shown in FIG. 7B illustrates an example in which the size in the height direction is larger than that in FIG. 7A, but the size may be determined according to the display amount, and is not determined by the area.

  In this way, the height of the display area is adjusted in accordance with the height of the user, so that the user can view the display data at an easy-to-see position close to his / her own line of sight. Therefore, the user is relieved from the uncomfortable feeling of viewing the display with an unreasonable posture. In addition, it is possible for a person with low expansion to avoid the inconvenience that the display data is displayed above the head so that the display content is removed by the person behind.

  Subsequently, when the ID card or the passbook is inserted (S53 / Yes), the control unit 23 displays a password input screen (S54). Similarly to the guidance screen, the personal identification number input screen determines the display area, generates display data, and displays it on the display unit 22. The control unit 23 reads the identification information and inquires of the financial institution center through the communication unit 29 whether or not the identification information is correct. If it is correct, the control unit 23 displays a password input screen, and if not correct, cancels the transaction. For example, if an ID card or bankbook of a type that cannot be handled by a financial institution center is inserted, it is determined that the identification information is invalid and the transaction is terminated. The transaction is also stopped when the card reader 26 or the passbook reader 27 cannot read the identification information correctly.

  When the user inputs a personal identification number on the touch panel incorporated in the display unit 22, the control unit 23 transmits an authentication request to the financial institution center together with the personal identification number and the identification number (S55). Usually, in communication between the ATM 20 and the financial institution center, the transfer data is encrypted by encrypted communication, and security is ensured. The financial institution center authenticates by a predetermined method whether or not the combination of the identification information and the password is valid, and returns an authentication result.

  The control unit 23 determines the authentication result (S56). If the authentication is successful (S56 / Yes), the transaction is permitted. If the authentication is unsuccessful (S56 / No), the transaction is stopped. Since the specific transaction content is not the gist of the present invention, the description is omitted. For example, in the case of a transaction of depositing or refunding cash, the control unit 23 controls the deposit / withdrawal unit 28 to take in and pay out banknotes. Further, if the transaction is based on a bankbook, the control unit 23 controls the bankbook reader 27 to print the transaction contents on the bankbook.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, since display data is generated and displayed so as to be displayed at a height corresponding to the height of the user, the user can immediately display the display data without delay in time. It can be displayed at an easy-to-see position. In the second embodiment, it is not necessary to move the display unit mechanically, so there is no danger to the human body. Therefore, also in the second embodiment, display data can be displayed at a position that is easy to see for each user in a short time and without any danger.

  In the second embodiment described above, the human body position is described as the height of the human eye. However, it should be easily understood that the present invention can be implemented even if the human body position is replaced with the human head. However, since the top of the head is positioned higher than the position of the eyes, the boundary value should be set in consideration of the difference between the height of the eyes and the height of the top of the head. By setting the boundary value in this way, the display area can be determined at the same height as when the body position is the eye height.

  The control unit 23 detects the head of the person from the captured image, and compares the height of the top of the head with the boundary values 01 to 03 registered in the boundary value table, so that the height of the eyes is the same. The screen can be displayed at a height that is easy for the user to see. Therefore, even when the body position is the top of the head in the second embodiment, the same effect as when the body position is the eye height can be obtained.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment of the present invention, a configuration using an ATM 30 as the display control device 10 will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the configuration of the ATM 30, and FIG. 9 is an external view of the ATM 30. 8 and 9 show an example of the ATM 30, and are not limited to the shape and configuration as shown in the figure. For example, FIGS. 8 and 9 show a configuration in which the display unit 22 is divided into two display devices in the height direction, but a configuration in which the display unit 22 is divided into three or more is also possible. From the description of the second embodiment and the following description, the operation of the configuration in which the display unit 22 is divided into three or more display devices in the height direction should be easily understood.

  The ATM 30 has a configuration in which the display unit 22 of the ATM 20 is replaced with an upper display device 32 and a lower display device 33. The components other than the upper display device 32 and the lower display device 33 of the ATM 30 correspond to the components other than the display unit 22 of the ATM 20, and the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals. Hereinafter, the difference will be mainly described.

  The upper display device 32 and the lower display device 33 are display devices similar to the display unit 22, and the height direction is about half the size of the display unit 22. The upper display device 32 and the lower display device 33 have a structure in which devices having the same display function are stacked in two levels, the upper display device 32 is mounted on the upper stage, and the lower display device 33 is mounted on the lower stage. The

  The control unit 34 includes a storage unit 35 instead of the storage unit 25. The storage unit 35 holds the device designated value instead of the current reference high value held by the storage unit 25, and does not need to hold the reference height table. The device designation value is information that designates a display device that displays a screen. In the case of FIG. 8, it is a value that designates whether to display on the upper display device 32 or on the lower display device 33. For example, when the device designation value is “1”, the control unit 34 displays a screen on the upper display device 32, and when the device designation value is “2”, the control unit 34 displays a screen on the lower display device 33. When the value is “0”, the control unit 34 divides and displays one screen on the upper display device 32 and the lower display device 33. When the number of display devices is 3 or more, “3, 4,...” May be assigned in addition to the device designation values “1, 2”.

  Next, the operation of the third exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described. The operation of ATM 30 is as shown in FIG. 4 except for step S51, and is the same as ATM 20. In ATM 30, the operation for determining the display area in step S51 is an operation for determining the display device shown in FIG. 10 instead of FIG. Accordingly, in steps S52 and S54, the control unit 34 displays a screen on either the upper display device 32 or the lower display device 33.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of determining the display area according to the third embodiment. Referring to FIG. 10, the control unit 34 causes the camera 21 to capture images at regular intervals, analyzes the captured images, and monitors whether a face can be detected. When the face is detected, the control unit 23 specifies the body position from the image (S71). Here, the body position is the eye level.

  When the height of the body position is specified, the control unit 34 compares the specified height of the body position with the boundary value in the boundary value table held in the storage unit 35 (S72). When the number of display units is two, that is, the upper display device 32 and the lower display device 33, the boundary value is only one. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a case where the body position, that is, the eye height is greater than or equal to the boundary value (a), and a case where the eye height is less than the boundary value (b). In FIG. 11, the body position is divided up and down by one boundary value. By setting three boundary values in the boundary value table, the display unit can be divided into four, and the number of divisions is not limited.

  When the body position is equal to or greater than the boundary value (S73 / Yes), the control unit 34 sets the device designation value in the storage unit 35 to “1” which is a value for designating the upper display device 32 (S74). On the other hand, when the body position is less than the boundary value (S73 / No), the control unit 34 sets the device designation value in the storage unit 35 to “2”, which is a value for designating the lower display device 33 (S75). Thereby, according to a user's body position, ie, height, the display part of the upper display apparatus 32 and the lower display apparatus 33 which is easy to see can be selected.

  Next, when displaying the screen in step S52 or step S54, the control unit 34 refers to the device designation value in the storage unit 35 and determines the display device that displays the screen. Therefore, in the third embodiment, it is possible to display a screen on a display unit (one of the upper display device 32 and the lower display device 33) that is easy for the user to see.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, since display data generated by selecting a display device having a height corresponding to the height of the user is displayed, the display data is immediately transmitted to the user without delay in time. Can be displayed at a position easy to see. In the third embodiment, since the display unit does not need to be moved mechanically, there is no danger to the human body. Therefore, also in the third embodiment, display data can be displayed at a position that is easy to see for each user in a short time and without any danger.

  In the third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the human body position is described as the height of the human eye, but the present invention can be implemented even if the human body position is replaced with the human head. Should be easy to understand. In the third embodiment, the display area is limited to one of the upper display device 32 and the lower display device 33. Therefore, as compared with the second embodiment, it is not necessary to calculate the coordinates of the display area and generate display data in the area, so that the load on the processor 24 can be reduced.

  The third embodiment has been described with the configuration in which the display device has two upper and lower stages, but the present invention can also be applied to a configuration in which the display devices are arranged in N stages on the upper and lower sides. For example, if N-1 boundary values are registered in the boundary value table, the corresponding area can be specified in the same manner as in the second embodiment. Since the identified area corresponds to the display device, display data may be displayed on one of the display devices instead of the display area.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a configuration using an ATM 40 as the display control device 10 will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the configuration of the ATM 40, and FIG. 13 is an external view of the ATM 40. 12 and 13 show an example of the ATM 40, and the shape and configuration are not limited to those shown in the figure. For example, FIGS. 12 and 13 show a configuration in which three sensors 41 are mounted, but a configuration in which two or less or four or more sensors 41 are mounted may be used.

  The ATM 40 has a configuration in which the camera 21 of the ATM 20 is replaced with a sensor 41-1, a sensor 41-2, and a sensor 41-3, and a sensor 42 is added. Note that the sensor 41-1, the sensor 41-2, and the sensor 41-3 are referred to as the sensor 41 when they are referred to without distinction. Configurations other than the sensor 41 and the sensor 42 correspond to configurations other than the camera 21 of the ATM 20, and components having the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals. Hereinafter, the difference will be mainly described.

  The sensor 41 is a sensor that senses the presence of a person with respect to the sensor direction, and is installed at three different heights as shown in FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the relationship between the installation position of the sensor 41, the sensor direction, and the body position. The body positions A to D of the users A to D are the heights of the respective tops of the users A to D. The heights of the sensors 41-1 to 41-3 in the sensor direction are set to heights corresponding to the heights of the boundary values 01 to 03, respectively.

  By installing the sensor 41 in this way, when the user stands in front of the ATM 40, the sensors 41-1 to 4-3 may or may not detect the user depending on the height of the user. In the case of the user D having a short height, since the body position D is lower than the sensor 41-3, none of the sensors 41 sense the user D. In the case of the user C, only the sensor 41-3 senses the user C. In the case of the user B, the sensor 41-2 and the sensor 41-3 sense the user B, and in the case of the user A, the sensors 41-1 to 41-1. All three sense user A. By examining the sensor 41 thus sensed, the height of the user can be specified.

  The sensors 41-1 to 4-3 are installed so as to sense the human body at heights corresponding to the boundary values 01 to 03 when the top of the head is the body position in the second embodiment. If installed in this way, the height of the user can be specified based on the same criteria as in the second embodiment. Also, the reference high value can be the same value as in the second embodiment, and the corresponding height display area can be used.

  The sensor 42 is a sensor for detecting whether or not there is a user immediately in front of the ATM 40. Therefore, the height is lower than that of the sensor 41-3, and it is installed at a position where it can detect the trunks of users of various heights. The person can operate in front of the ATM 40 within a distance range (for example, within 1 m). Sense.

  The control unit 43 includes a storage unit 45 instead of the storage unit 25. The storage unit 45 does not include the boundary value table held by the storage unit 25, and holds the program, the reference height table, and the current reference high value. The reason why the storage unit 45 does not hold the boundary value table is because the sensors 41-1 to 4-3 are installed at the heights of the boundary values 01 to 03, and therefore no boundary value table is required.

  Next, the operation of the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described. The operation of ATM 40 is as shown in FIG. 4 except for step S51, and is the same as ATM 20. In ATM 40, the operation in step S51 is as shown in the flowchart of the operation for determining the display area shown in FIG. 15 instead of FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 15, the control unit 43 determines whether the user is in front of the ATM 40 based on whether the sensor 42 has detected the user (S81). When the sensor 42 senses the user (S81 / Yes), the control unit 43 determines whether or not the sensor 41-3 having the lowest height senses the user (S82). When the sensor 41-3 does not detect the user (S82 / No), the control unit 43 determines the area corresponding to the user as the area 04 (S87).

  When the sensor 41-3 senses the user (S82 / Yes), the control unit 43 determines whether or not the second lowest sensor 41-2 senses the user (S83). If the sensor 41-2 does not detect the user (S83 / No), the control unit 43 determines the area corresponding to the user as the area 03 (S88).

  When the sensor 41-2 detects the user (S83 / Yes), the control unit 43 determines whether or not the highest sensor 41-1 has detected the user (S84). If the sensor 41-1 does not detect the user (S84 / No), the control unit 43 determines the area corresponding to the user as the area 02 (S89). When the sensor 41-1 senses the user (S84 / Yes), the control unit 43 determines the area corresponding to the user as the area 01 (S85).

  Next, the control unit 43 determines the reference high value by referring to the reference height table of the storage unit 45 according to the determined area number, and writes the determined reference high value to the current reference high value of the storage unit 45 (S86). When the current reference high value is determined, when the control unit 43 displays the screen, the display area height for displaying the screen based on the current reference high value held in the storage unit 45 is displayed as in the second embodiment. The display data is displayed on the display unit 22.

  As described above, in the fourth embodiment, since display data is generated and displayed so as to be displayed at a height corresponding to the height of the user, the user can immediately display the display data without delay in time. It can be displayed at an easy-to-see position. In the fourth embodiment, since the display unit does not need to be moved mechanically, there is no danger to the human body. Therefore, also in the fourth embodiment, display data can be displayed in a position that is easy to see for each user in a short time and without any danger.

  In the fourth embodiment, since it is not necessary to analyze the image taken by the camera 21 and specify the body position, it is not necessary to make the processor 24 high performance and expensive in order to analyze the image. The ATM 40 can be realized by the low-cost processor 24. However, in the fourth embodiment, the boundary value is fixed depending on the installation position and the number of sensors 41. Embodiment 2 may be applied when it is required to change the number of divisions of the display area or to easily adjust the boundary value.

  In the fourth embodiment, the configuration in which the display is divided into a plurality of display areas as in the second embodiment has been described. However, in the fourth embodiment, one of the plurality of display devices is used. It can be easily understood from the above description that the present invention can be applied to a configuration for displaying display data.
