い。2. Description of the Related Art In a vending machine, products are stored in a plurality of compartments.
The number of products that can be stored in each compartment is limited. Therefore, when all the products housed in one section are sold out, the products are sold out, and it is necessary to wait for new replenishment of the products. Moreover, since the number of sold popular products is large, the out-of-stock rate is high.

る。Here, when a particular (especially high-selling) product is sold out, a consumer who wants the product has to search for another vending machine or select another product, which is not preferable. . Further, if the sold-out state frequently occurs, the sales result does not increase, which is not preferable for a company that supplies products and an installer of a vending machine. On the other hand, if the product delivery interval is shortened in order to prevent the product from being sold out, the burden on the company increases in terms of securing delivery staff. In order to avoid such a problem, it is necessary to allocate a plurality of sections to a product with a high sales record, increase the number of stored products, and prevent a sold-out state from occurring.

全自動販売機数をＹ全として、次式 ａ ＝ Ｘ１ × Ｙ全 ／ Ｙ１ により、全自動販売機１で対象商品が販売されたと想定
した場合の販売数（補正販売数）ａを算出する。次に、
補正販売数ａの大きい順に順位を付ける。このとき、順
位のついた商品の補正販売数ａをａ／２として、再び順
位判定の対象とする。同様に、順位のついた商品につい
ては、ａ／３、ａ／４、・・・として何度でも順位判定
の対象とする。下記の表に、このような手順で得られた
商品ランクａの決定例を示す。The product rank a is determined by the product rank determining means 21 in the following procedure.
First, the total sales number X1 for each product is obtained from the sales number data, and the number of vending machines 1 that sell the target product is Y1,
Letting the total number of all vending machines be Y, the following formula a = X1 × Y all / Y1 is used to calculate the number of sales (corrected sales) a when it is assumed that the target product has been sold by the fully automatic vending machine 1. next,
The correction sales number a is ranked in descending order. At this time, the corrected sales number a of the ranked products is set to a / 2 and is again subjected to the ranking determination. Similarly, the ranked products are subject to rank determination as many times as a / 3, a / 4, .... The following table shows an example of determining the product rank a obtained by such a procedure.

例を示す。The determination of the sale item by the sale item determining means 23 is specifically performed by the following procedure. First, the product rank a and the product rank b are compared, and the product rank a and the product rank b of the products that are not sold by the vending machine 1 (that is, not subject to the product rank b).
Attention is paid to the product ranks a of the lower rank products, and the products having the higher product rank a of these products are determined as the sales products. As a result, it is possible to stop selling unselling products and sell only the selling products. Table 3 below shows an example of the product rank a of a product other than the product rank b in Tables 1 and 2 above, and Table 4 shows an example of the product rank a of a product below the product rank b in Tables 1 and 2. .

The products 8, 12, and 14 are stored and sold with priority over the products 2 (third product), the product 1 (third product), and the product 9 (second product). FIG. 4 shows products sold by the vending machine 1. It should be noted that the figure has compartments that can store 16 types of products, and each compartment includes 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12, and 13 to.
The vending machine 1 in which the number of stored items is decreasing in the order of 16 is illustrated.
