[Prior Art] Conventionally, a screen input method used for a customer operation type terminal installed in a financial institution is, for example, a touch panel input in a single window display as disclosed in JP-A-1-131917. Had become the way. This is because a general workstation having a multi-window function operates to overlap windows under the initiative of an operator, and operates a customer operation type terminal (automatic machine) installed in the above-mentioned financial institution. This is because it is not suitable for a multi-window operation on a portable terminal.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The former of the above prior arts, that is,
Since the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 17 is a single window display method, there is a limit in terms of display expression in order to guide various input items so that a user unfamiliar with the operation can easily input them. There was a problem that there is.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems in the conventional technology, to handle a variety of input items in a multi-window method, and to realize a more natural operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a customer-operated terminal device that enables a guide.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the customer-operated terminal device of the present invention includes: (a) displaying a plurality of windows on a display;
A customer-operated terminal device for inputting a display on the display through a touch panel as a guide, wherein input via a touch panel to a window that is not overwritten by another window is valid, and a window overwritten by another window is valid. A means for invalidating an input through the touch panel.

[Action]

In the customer-operated terminal device according to the present invention, the determination of the touch panel pressing valid / invalid in the multi-window method is performed based on the overlapping state of the window frames, that is, the touch panel pressing of the window appearing on the front is made valid, and hidden behind. The above object is achieved by disabling the touch panel input of the window that is currently open.

That is, the size of each window is managed as, for example, the upper left corner coordinates and the lower left corner coordinates, and as the overlapping control of the windows, the foreground window, that is, the last displayed window is set as the first rank, Then, based on the size and rank of the windows displayed in, the degree of overlap of each window is compared in order of rank. As a result, the window in which the window frame has been overwritten can be known, and the touch panel pressing effective range of the window can be invalidated.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing a customer operation type terminal device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a touch panel, 12 is a CRT display, 13 is a hardware control unit, 14 is a computing device, 15 is a touch panel / window control unit, 16 is a window display management table, 17 is an image buffer, 18 is screen display data, 19 Indicates a touch panel pressing effective range information table.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a window displayed on the CRT display 1. In the figure, 31 is the CRT screen, 3
Reference numerals 2, 33, 34 denote window window frames, and 32a, 33a, 33b, 34a, 34b denote touch panel pressing effective range coordinates in each window. In this example, the touch panel effective area coordinates 32a, 33a, and 33b of the windows 32 and 33 are the effective area of the touch,
The touch panel pressing effective range coordinates 34a and 34b of the window 34 in which the window frame is overwritten on the other windows become the pressing invalid range.

FIG. 4 shows the window display management table 16 described above,
3 shows the structure and correlation of the touch panel pressing effective range information table 19. FIG. As shown in the figure, the window display management table 16 has, in advance, the size (here, upper left and lower right corner coordinates), display priority, and valid / invalid information of the touch panel information area for each window.

The touch panel pressing effective range information table 19 is
Similarly, as shown in FIG. 4, for each window, the size (here, upper left,
(Lower right corner coordinates), and has a notification code sent to a higher order when pressing is valid. Window display management table 16 and touch panel effective range information table 19
Is, together with the screen display data of each window, for example,
Stored on disk.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, since the touch panel information area of window number 3 is "invalid", the corresponding touch panel effective range information table is
Cannot be searched.

The operation of the customer-operated terminal device according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below with reference to the operation flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 1 (a) shows an operation of the initial setting by the touch panel / window control unit 15 described above, and FIG. 1 (b) shows a touch panel pressing control operation.

The touch panel / window control unit 15 first reads the window display management table 16 from a disk or the like (step 41), and then loads the screen display data 18 and the touch panel pressing effective range information table 19 set in the screen buffer 17. (Step 42). Next, a screen is displayed on the CRT display 12 via the hardware control unit 13 based on the window size (coordinates) and the display device order specified in the window display management table 16 (step 43).

Next, the touch panel / window control unit 15 updates the window display management table 16, which is performed as follows. That is, valid / invalid is set in the touch panel area in the window display management table 16 based on the presence / absence of the overlap of the coordinates with the higher level than the window from the window with the lower display priority in the window display management table 16 (step 44). Hereinafter, the operation proceeds to the touch panel pressing control operation. When changing the overlapping state of the windows, the display priority in the window display management table 16 is changed (step 46), and the touch panel / window control unit 15 changes the screen display based on this (step 46). Step 43).

Next, a touch panel pressing control operation will be described.
The key point of this operation is that when the coordinates pressed from the touch panel 11 are notified via the hardware control unit 13, the touch panel / window control unit 15 searches the effective touch panel pressing effective range information table, and the pressing is effective. It is to determine whether or not. That is, the touch panel / window control unit 15 first searches the touch panel information area in the window display management table 16, and determines the touch panel pressing effective range information table corresponding to the window designated as valid (step 51).

Next, the fixed touch panel effective area information table is searched to check whether or not the pressed coordinates are within the effective area (step 52). If so,
The notification code within the effective range is notified to the upper software (step 53). This case is referred to as “valid pressing”. If it is not within the effective range in the check in step 52, it is checked whether or not all the windows designated as valid in the touch panel information area in the window display management table 16 have been processed (step 54). If there is, the process proceeds to the area, otherwise, the current process is determined to be “invalid press”.

According to the above embodiment, in a customer-operated terminal using a touch panel, even when various types of guides are displayed by making full use of multi-windows, the touch panel can be easily input by the operator in a natural manner. There is an effect that the order of pressing can be instructed.

FIG. 5 shows a diagram for more specifically explaining the present embodiment. FIG. 5 shows an example of a bank transfer input screen.

The effective range of touch panel pressing on the screen 1 is “cancel” and “return” in the window 1, not in the window 2, and “confirmation” and “correction” in the window 3. The effective range of the touch panel pressing on the screen 2 is “cancel” and “return” in the window 1, not in the window 2, and “confirmation” and “correction” in the window 3. Similarly, the effective range of the touch panel pressing on the screen 3 is “cancel” and “return” in the window 1, each input item area is effective in the window 2, and “confirmation” is effective in the window 3. In the sequence of the screens 1, 2, and 3, the window 2 is overwritten with the window frame on the screens 1 and 2, so that the touch panel pressing range is controlled to be invalid.

The above embodiment is shown as an example of the present invention,
It goes without saying that the present invention should not be limited to this.

〔The invention's effect〕
