Abstract
Disclosed is an automated teller machine including a transaction mediums processing part processing a cash card or a passbook on which information as to whether or not a user is a visually impaired person is recorded together with transaction information, a cash processing part paying and/or receiving cash, and an input part including an audio guidance part announcing audio guidance for a visually impaired person and a touch sensor part identifying a user's touch on a guidance panel thereby applying the particulars of the transaction as a transaction input, and disclosed also is an automatic cash transaction method. When a visually impaired person makes a transaction, the transaction medium processing part confirms that the user is a visually impaired person by reading that information recorded on the card or the passbook, and, in response to this confirmation, the audio guidance part in the input part announces necessary audio guidance, while the touch sensor part permits application of the transaction input by the user's touch on the guidance panel, so that the visually impaired person can easily operate the automated teller machine.
