TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a terminal device such as, for example, an automatic teller machine (ATM), and an input and output device applied to the operation thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Patent Document 1 discloses a store visit reception system that uses an input and output device of an automatic teller machine operated by a user.

This store visit reception system includes a reception terminal, a baggage table, and a baggage-detecting sensor. The reception terminal is installed in the lobby or the like in a store of a financial institution. The baggage table is provided on the front surface of the reception terminal. Baggage, such as a bag or wallet, glasses, an umbrella, or a coat, may be placed on the baggage table. The baggage-detecting sensor detects the presence or absence of baggage placed on the baggage table by measuring weight.

This store visit reception system further includes an operation display unit. The operation display unit is provided on the front surface of the reception terminal, and is formed from a combination of a display screen, such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), and a touch panel. The operation display unit displays, on the display screen, a screen inquiring the purpose of the user's visit or a screen prompting the user to perform an operation. Additionally, the operation display unit receives inputs from the user via the touch panel.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

In the store visit reception system described in Patent Document 1, in consideration of the convenience to the user operating the terminal, the baggage table for placing a bag carried by the user is provided on the front surface of the terminal. The user sometimes carries something other than a bag, for example, an incidental item such as a drink or a cane. In such a case, the user placing the incidental item at an improper location on the baggage table may cause a problem to occur in the machine or the like.

For example, with the store visit reception system in Patent Document 1, there is a risk that a problem will occur, such as a drink falling over onto the baggage table and flowing into the machine, thus causing a malfunction. Additionally, if the user places a cane against the side of the machine, there is a risk that the cane will be forgotten.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances. An example object of the present invention is to provide an input and output device and a terminal device that prevent the occurrence of problems caused by items carried by the user.

Means for Solving the Problem

An input and output device according to an example aspect of the present invention includes: an operation unit that is disposed on a front side and that receives data input by an operator; and a table unit that is disposed further forward than the operation unit and that protrudes in a forward direction. The table unit includes: a notched portion that is provided on a first side in a left-right direction and that opens forward and upward; and a recessed portion that is provided on a second side in the left-right direction, the first side being opposite to the first side, the recessed portion comprising an upper surface having a recessed shape.

Effect of the Invention

According to an example embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the tipping and forgetting of a drink, and to prevent the dropping or forgetting of a cane, by placing a beverage container, a cane, or the like at a predetermined location.
