US 4,788,418 A · Automatic transaction machine

Abstract

An automatic transaction machine including reading device for reading data recorded in a transaction medium for an user, an operation guidance device for guiding an operation for the user, an input device for inputting necessary data input by the user according to the operation guidance device and a controller which selectively executes operation of the machine in a first input processing mode and in a second input processing mode in accordance with the read data. In the first mode, the controller controls the operation guidance device so that a transaction amount is input through the input means directly after a validity check of the read data without inputting a secret number for identifying the user. In the second mode, the controller controls the operation guidance device so that the transaction amount is input after inputting the secret number through the input device after the validity check.

Dependent claims

An automatic transaction machine comprising:

reading means for reading data recorded on a transaction medium for a user;
validity checking means for checking the validity of the data read by said reading means;
operation guidance means for providing operation guidance information to the user;
input means for inputting data input by the user in response to said operation guidance information;
and
control means, having first and second input processing modes, for selecting the first input processing mode to control said operation guidance means so that a transaction amount can be immediately input through said input means directly after a validity check of the read data, and for selecting the second input processing mode to control said operation guidance means so that the transaction amount can be input only after inputting a user identification number through said input means after the validity check.

validity-checking means for checking data read by the reading means from the transaction medium and confirming whether the transaction mediium is valid;
a mode-selection means for determining whether the operation mode of said machine is a quick transaction mode or an ordinary transaction mode in accordance with said data read by the reading means from the transaction medium when the transaction medium is valid;
a first transaction-processing means for selectively inputting one of a withdrawal amount and an ordinary transaction command for selection of an ordinary transaction mode through the input means, without requesting input of an identification number for identifying the user, when the quick transaction mode is selected;
and
a second transaction-processing means for inputting the ordinary transaction command for selection of the ordinary transaction mode through the input means only after an identification number identifying the user is input through the input means and validated by said validity checking means when the ordinary transaction mode is selected, said second transaction-processing means comprising means for permitting input of a withdrawal amount when the ordinary transaction command is input through said input means.
