Abstract

An improvement of a system for providing more effectively product information has been required. The required improvement can be achieved by a technology, for example, that displays information corresponding to a point message displayed on an automated teller machine on a display unit installed in the proximity of the automated teller machine and displays more detailed information to customers who show any interest. The displayed information preferably corresponds to customer information (such as account number) acquired by the automated teller machine. The system further includes a sensor for detecting the approach of the customer to the display unit and switches display of an info-active screen in accordance with the approach or halt of the customer.

Claims

1. An information displaying system connected to an automated teller machine having an operation guide unit for displaying an operation guide for customers, comprising:

a reception unit for acquiring customer information from the automated teller machine;

a processor for deciding a message on the basis of the customer information acquired in the reception unit; and

a display unit different from the operation guide unit, for displaying an product guide inclusive of the message.

2. An information display system as defined in claim 1, which further comprises:

a sensor for detecting stay of a customer in front of the display unit, wherein;

the processor displays on the display unit detailed information of an product guide displayed on the display unit when the sensor makes detection.

3. An information display system as defined in claim 1, which further comprises:

a sensor for detecting stay of a customer in front of the display unit, wherein;

the processor records an product guide displayed on the display unit when the sensor makes detection.

4. An information display system as defined in claim 3, wherein the processor record information representing the product guide in association with the customer information when it records the product guide.

5. An information display system as defined in claim 1, wherein the automated teller machine further includes a medium read unit for reading a transaction medium, wherein the reception unit acquires customer information read by the medium read unit from the transaction medium.

6. An information display system as defined in claim 1, wherein decision of the processor is made by a deposit balance, family construction or transaction history corresponding to customer information received by the reception unit.

7. An information display system as defined in claim 1, wherein the customer information includes an account number.

8. An information display system as defined in claim 1, which further comprises:

a transmission unit for transmitting a message decided by the processor to the automated teller machine, wherein;

the automated teller machine displays the message on the operation guide unit.

9. An information display system as defined in claim 1, wherein the display unit displays an product guide inclusive of the message at a position corresponding to the apparatus stipulation information.

10. An information display system as defined in claim 1, wherein the display unit includes a plasma display panel or projection type projector having a size of 20 inches or more.

11. An information displaying system separate from an automated teller machine and connected to the automated teller machine through a line, wherein the same point message as a point message of an product guide displayed on the automated teller machine is displayed in such a manner as to correspond to finish of an operation or finish of transaction in the automated teller machine.

12. An information display system comprising:

a reception unit for receiving product guide information for stipulating a guide of an product and apparatus stipulation information for stipulating an automated teller machine; and

a display unit for displaying a display corresponding to the product guide information received by the reception unit at a position so designated as to correspond to the apparatus stipulation information received by the reception unit.

13. An information displaying system comprising:

a display unit for displaying an product guide;

a sensor for detecting stay of a customer; and

a processor for switching the product guide information on the basis of detection of the sensor.

14. An information displaying system as defined in claim 13, wherein the processor switches a display to detailed product guide information of the product guide information displayed when the sensor detects the stay of the customer.

15. An information displaying system as defined in claim 13, wherein the sensor detects approach of a customer to the display unit and/or halt of the customer for a predetermined time as the stay.

16. An information displaying system as defined in claim 13, wherein the sensor includes a contact sensor arranged on a front floor of the display unit and/or an optical sensor for detecting reflected light to emitted light.

17. An information displaying system as defined in claim 13, wherein the processor transmits a kind of product guide information switched to a high order apparatus.

18. An information displaying system as defined in claim 17, wherein the high order apparatus stores the kind of the product guide information received from the processor in association with time.

19. An information displaying system as defined in claim 13, wherein the processor moves a display position of the product guide information with movement of a customer when the sensor detects the movement of the customer.

20. An information displaying system as defined in claim 13, wherein the processor controls speech output when the product guide information is displayed.
