Abstract
Abstract A teller machine is disclosed including numeral keys, function keys, a central processor unit, and a printer for printing out transaction data. The teller machine includes a key input system for holding a specific transaction identifying signal when the specific transaction is continuously repeated. The specific transaction identifying signal held in the key input system is developed when the following numeral information is introduced through the numeral keys, thereby omitting the actuation of the specific transaction command key.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A teller machine comprising: a keyboard including numeral keys and function keys for introducing transaction data into the teller machine; a central processor unit for controlling operation modes of the teller machine in response to the transaction data derived from said keyboard; storage means for storing the transaction data derived from said central processor unit; printer means for printing out the transaction data stored in said storage means; and transaction kind identifying means connected to said function keys, said transaction kind identifying means including; holding means for maintaining a transaction kind identifying signal representative of a specific function key when said specific function key is successively actuated, numeral key actuation detection circuit for developing a detection output when any one of said numeral keys is actuated, and gate means for transferring said transaction kind identifying signal maintained in said holding means to said central processor unit when said detection output is developed from said numeral key actuation detection circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A teller machine comprising: a keyboard including numeral keys and function keys for introducing transaction data into the teller machine; a central processor unit for controlling operation modes of the teller machine in response to the transaction data derived from said keyboard; storage means for storing the transaction data derived from said central processor unit; printer means for printing out the transaction data stored in said storage means; and transaction kind identifying means connected to said function keys, said transaction kind identifying means including; holding means for maintaining a transaction kind identifying signal representative of a specific function key when said specific function key is successively actuated, numeral key actuation detection circuit for developing a detection output when any one of said numeral keys is actuated, and gate means for transferring said transaction kind identifying signal maintained in said holding means to said central processor unit when said detection output is developed from said numeral key actuation detection circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The teller machine of claim 1, wherein said function keys include an ordinary deposit key, and said holding means maintains an ordinary deposit identifying signal when said ordinary deposit key is successively actuated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
145 words
A teller machine for allowing users to perform banking functions by performing transaction information entry operations comprising: a keyboard including numeral keys and function keys for introducing transaction data into the teller machine; a central processing unit for controlling the operation of the teller machine in response to transaction data provided by said keyboard; transfer kind identifying means connected between said keyboard and said central processing unit, said transfer kind identifying means including; holding means for maintaining a transaction kind identifying signal representative of a specific function key when said specific function key is successively actuated, and transfer means for applying the transaction kind identifying signal present in said holding means to said central processing unit when a new transaction information entry operation is conducted; said transfer means enabling the user to perform the new transaction information operation without activation of said specific function key.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
145 words
A teller machine for allowing users to perform banking functions by performing transaction information entry operations comprising: a keyboard including numeral keys and function keys for introducing transaction data into the teller machine; a central processing unit for controlling the operation of the teller machine in response to transaction data provided by said keyboard; transfer kind identifying means connected between said keyboard and said central processing unit, said transfer kind identifying means including; holding means for maintaining a transaction kind identifying signal representative of a specific function key when said specific function key is successively actuated, and transfer means for applying the transaction kind identifying signal present in said holding means to said central processing unit when a new transaction information entry operation is conducted; said transfer means enabling the user to perform the new transaction information operation without activation of said specific function key.
