The cooling/heating device 12 and the output device 13 are connected to the main body control unit 11. The cooling/heating device 12 is used to manage the product storage container in the vending machine 2 in a set state. The cooling-heating device 12 cools the inside of the commodity storage box set to be cooled by the main controller 10 based on the control of the main body control unit 11, and heats the inside of the commodity storage box set to be heated.
The output device 13 manages a vending solenoid and a vending out switch provided for each shelf. The main body control unit 11 controls the output device 13 in accordance with an output command transmitted from the main controller 10 to output the commodity from the shelf. When all the products stored in the shelf are output, the output device 13 outputs a sold-out signal to the main body control unit 11.
The article selection button group 14 has a plurality of article selection buttons 14a for selecting articles. The product selection button 14a is disposed, for example, in the vicinity of a product sample. Each product selection button 14a can perform LED display, and displays it on when a product is selected, and turns off when product settlement is completed. In the case of cash settlement, the product selection button 14a corresponding to a product that can be purchased in the amount of money put is turned on.
The display operation unit 15 is, for example, a touch panel, and can perform display and selection operations. The display operation unit 15 can display a settlement server selection unit 15a that can perform selection operations. When the settlement server selection unit 15a displays settlement servers that can be connected to the vending machine 2 and selects any one of the settlement servers, the settlement server selection unit selects settlement using the two-dimensional barcode information read by the two-dimensional barcode reading unit 17 for the selected settlement server.
The display unit 16 is, for example, a liquid crystal panel, and displays various information such as a deposit amount and information at various settings in addition to the information during sales, during sales suspension, impossibility of change, preparation, communication, and stop of banknotes.
Further, the commodity selection button group 14, the display operation unit 15, the display unit 16, and the display operation systems for commodity samples and the like may all be replaced with a display operation unit such as a large-screen touch panel.
The two-dimensional barcode reading unit 17 reads two-dimensional barcode information displayed on a portable terminal or the like, not shown.
The external communication processing unit 18 performs the following processing: the management server 3 is connected to communicate via the network N based on the control of the main controller 10.
The storage unit 19 is a storage device such as a nonvolatile memory, and stores setting data D.
The contactless card reader/writer 21 is, for example, an RFID card reader/writer, and performs settlement by reading information of a prepaid card. The contact card reader/writer 22 is, for example, a magnetic card reader/writer, and performs settlement by reading information on a prepaid card, similarly to the contactless card reader/writer 21. The coin mechanism 23 is a coin handling device, and recognizes coins, reads the amount of money deposited, and discharges change. Note that the bill validator 24 is a bill handling device that discriminates bills, reads the amount of money put in, and discharges change. The coin mechanism 23 and the bill validator 24 are used for cash settlement.
The main controller 10 is a control unit that controls the entire apparatus, and includes a sales control unit 10a, a data transmission processing unit 10b, a conversion setting unit 10c, a conversion data transmission processing unit 10d, and a display control unit 10 e. The main controller 10 centrally manages various process controls based on the setting data D.
The sales control unit 10a performs sales control of the product in the main body of the vending machine 2. The data transmission processing unit 10b transmits the setting range of the setting data D, which is changed in accordance with the specification change of the vending machine 2, to the management server 3. When receiving the setting data D having a value exceeding the setting range of the current setting data D from the management server 3, the conversion setting unit 10c converts the received setting data D into the setting data D within the setting range of the current setting data D and sets the setting data D. The converted data transmission processing unit 10D transmits the setting data D converted and set by the conversion setting unit 10c to the management server 3. The display control unit 10e controls the display of the product selection button group 14, the display operation unit 15, and the display unit 16 based on the instruction of the sales control unit 10 a.
[ setting processing of setting data D ]
Fig. 3 is a sequence diagram showing a setting process of setting data between the vending machine 2 and the management server 3 by the vending machine system 1. As shown in fig. 3, the main controller 10 determines whether or not the setting range of the setting data D is changed with a change in the specification of the vending machine 2 (step S110). If the setting range of the setting data D is not changed in association with the specification change of the vending machine 2 (no in step S110), the process proceeds to step S170.
On the other hand, when the setting range of the setting data D is changed in accordance with the specification change of the vending machine 2 (yes in step S110), the main controller 10 further determines whether or not the setting item is added (step S120). If the setting item is not added (no in step S120), the data transmission processing unit 10b transmits the setting range of the changed setting data D to the management server 3 (step S130). Thereby, the management server 3 performs setting registration of the setting range of the setting data D transmitted from the vending machine 2 (step S150).
If the setting item is added (yes in step S120), the data transmission processing unit 10b transmits the added setting item and the setting range of the setting data D for the setting item to the management server 3 (step S140). Thereby, the management server 3 adds the setting item transmitted from the vending machine 2, and performs setting registration of the setting range of the setting data D for the setting item (step S150).
After that, when the setting data D for the vending machine 2 is transmitted from the management server 3 (step S160), the main controller 10 determines whether or not the setting data D is within the setting range of the received setting data D (step S170). If the setting data is within the setting range of the received setting data D (yes in step S170), the received setting data D is registered and set (step S180).
On the other hand, if the setting data D is not within the setting range of the received setting data D (no in step S170), the conversion setting unit 10c converts the setting data D into the setting data D within the setting range and performs setting registration (step S190). Then, the converted data transmission processing unit 10D transmits the converted setting data D to the management server 3 (step S200). The management server 3 that has received the converted setting data D performs setting for changing to the converted setting data D (step S210).
In the present embodiment, since the setting range of the setting data is transmitted to the management server 3 side in association with the specification change, the setting range of the setting data on the management server 3 side can be easily and quickly managed. Even when the management server 3 side transmits setting data outside the setting range of the setting data, the vending machine 2 side can automatically convert the transmitted setting data into setting data within the setting range and transmit the converted setting data to the management server 3 side, and thus the setting data can be automatically set to an appropriate value and the setting data between the management server 3 and the vending machine 2 can be synchronized.
< modification example >
Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing a procedure of setting processing of setting data between the vending machine 2 and the management server 3 by a modification of the vending machine system 1. In the present modification, a software component that controls the setting range of the setting data is transmitted to the management server 3. The software component is, for example, a table data file of table calculation software installed on the management server 3 side, and a program for controlling the setting range of the setting data is incorporated in a unit of the table data file. Further, the management server 3 and the vending machine 2 have an environment in which the meter computing software operates.
As shown in fig. 4, the main controller 10 determines whether or not the setting range of the setting data D is changed with a change in the specification of the vending machine 2 (step S310). If the setting range of the setting data D is not changed in association with the specification change of the vending machine 2 (no in step S310), the process is terminated.
On the other hand, when the setting range of the setting data D is changed in accordance with the specification change of the vending machine 2 (yes in step S310), the data transmission processing unit 10b transmits the software component for controlling the setting range of the setting data to the management server 3 (step S320). The management server 3 that received the software component registers the setting of the received software component (step S330), and ends the present process.
In the present modification, when the management server 3 transmits the setting data to the vending machine 2, the software component controls the setting data to be transmitted within the setting range, thereby avoiding transmission of the setting data outside the setting range and reducing the management load of the setting data on the management server 3.
Note that the respective configurations shown in the above-described embodiments and modifications are functionally schematic configurations, and the illustrated configurations are not necessarily physically required. That is, the form of distribution or integration of the respective devices and components is not limited to the illustration, and all or a part of the respective devices and components may be functionally or physically distributed or integrated in arbitrary units according to various usage situations and the like.
