[ sales control processing by reading two-dimensional code information with a portable terminal ]
Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing a sales control processing procedure by reading the two-dimensional code information by the portable terminal 3. As shown in fig. 4, when the product selection button 14a is selected (step S101), the sales control unit 10b turns on the product selection button 14a (step S102). Thereafter, the settlement server selecting unit 15a displays the settlement server A, B, C (step S103). As shown in fig. 5, the settlement server selecting unit 15a displays a settlement server A, B, C that can be connected to the vending machine 2 in each of the areas EA, EB, and EC. Thereafter, when 1 of the settlement servers A, B, C, for example, the settlement server a is selected (step S104), the sales control unit 10b transmits the product data of the selected product to the external communication processing unit 17 (step S105).
When the product data is received from the sales control unit 10b, the external communication processing unit 17 makes a settlement server mode request (step S106), and receives a settlement server mode response from the sales control unit 10b (step S107). The settlement server mode is a mode in which sales control is performed by reading two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3.
When receiving the settlement server mode request (step S106), that is, when there is a selection of the product selection button 14a and a selection of the settlement server a in the settlement server selection unit 15a, the sales control unit 10b prohibits settlement by another settlement processing reception unit (step S108). Then, the sales control unit 10b displays "communication on the display unit 16" (step S109). The display of "communication" indicates that the settlement by the other settlement processing reception unit is not accepted.
Upon receiving the settlement server mode response from the sales control unit 10b (step S107), the external communication processing unit 17 starts communication with the selected settlement server a (step S110). The external communication processing unit 17 transmits the received product data to the settlement server a (step S111), and orders the product to the settlement server a.
Upon receiving the product data, the settlement server a transmits the two-dimensional code information to the external communication processing unit 17 (step S112). The two-dimensional code information includes commodity data such as a commodity code and an amount of money, and also includes information of the settlement server a. The sales control unit 10b generates a two-dimensional code based on the two-dimensional code information received by the external communication processing unit 17, and displays the generated two-dimensional code on the display unit 16 as two-dimensional code information 16a (step S113).
When the two-dimensional code information 16a is displayed on the display section 16, the portable terminal 3 captures the two-dimensional code information 16a by the image capturing section 33, thereby reading the two-dimensional code information 16a (step S114). Then, the settlement control unit 31 of the mobile terminal 3 adds the user identification information to the read two-dimensional code information 16a, and requests the settlement server a indicated by the two-dimensional code information 16a to perform the settlement (step S115).
When receiving a settlement request from the mobile terminal 3, the settlement server a performs settlement processing by matching the contents of the settlement request with the contents of the order, and when the settlement is successful (step S116), transmits a settlement success notification to the mobile terminal 3 (step S117).
On the other hand, the external communication processing unit 17, upon receiving the two-dimensional code information from the settlement server a, performs polling as follows: settlement confirmation as to whether or not the settlement in the settlement server a has succeeded is periodically performed (step S118). The external communication processing unit 17 determines whether or not there is a settlement confirmation by polling (step S119). If the settlement check does not exist (no in step S119), it is further determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (step S120). If the predetermined time has not elapsed (no in step S120), the process returns to step S118, and polling for settlement confirmation is continued. When the predetermined time has elapsed (yes at step S120), the communication is disconnected (step S122).
On the other hand, when the settlement confirmation is present (yes in step S119), the external communication processing unit 17 notifies the sales control unit 10b of the settlement confirmation notification (step S121), and disconnects the communication (step S122).
Upon receiving the settlement confirmation notification from the external communication processing unit 17 (step S121), the sales control unit 10b outputs the settled product (step S123) and turns off the product selection button 14a (step S124). Then, the sales control unit 10b cancels the prohibition of the acceptance of the settlement by the other settlement acceptance unit (step S125).
Further, any one of the selection of the product by the product selection button 14a and the selection of the settlement by the settlement server a received by the settlement server selection unit 15a may be processed.
In embodiment 1, when the sales control process is performed by reading the two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3, the acceptance of the settlement by the contactless card reader/writer 21, the contact card reader/writer 22, the coin mechanism 23, and the bill validator 24 is prohibited, and thus multiple settlement can be prevented when the external settlement server A, B, C is used. In addition, the electronic money settlement by the contactless card reader/writer 21 or the contact card reader/writer 22 and the cash settlement by the coin mechanism 23 and the bill validator 24 may be performed in common in the same vending machine 2.
In embodiment 1, the vending machine 2 only needs to display two-dimensional code information for reading the two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3, and therefore can have a simple configuration. That is, the vending machine 2 can be easily added with the sales control processing performed by reading the two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3.
In addition, in embodiment 1, since the result of the settlement between the mobile terminal 3 and the settlement server a is confirmed by polling, each vending machine 2 does not need to acquire an IP address, and can have a simple configuration.
(embodiment mode 2)
In embodiment 1 described above, the result of settlement between the mobile terminal 3 and the settlement server a is confirmed by polling, but in embodiment 2, the result of settlement is received from the settlement server a without polling.
Fig. 6 is a sequence diagram showing a sales control process procedure according to embodiment 2 performed by reading two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3. As described above, in embodiment 2, the polling of the settlement confirmation in embodiment 1 is not performed (step S118), and when the settlement between the mobile terminal 3 and the settlement server a is successful (step S116), the settlement success notification is transmitted to the mobile terminal 3 and also to the external communication processing unit 17 of the vending machine 2 (step S117). The other processing procedures in embodiment 2 are the same as those in embodiment 1.
In embodiment 2, the vending machine 2 needs to acquire an IP address in order for the settlement server a to transmit a settlement success notification to the vending machine 2, but as in embodiment 1, multiple settlement can be prevented, and a sales control process by reading two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3 can be easily added to the vending machine 2.
(embodiment mode 3)
Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the vending machine 2 according to embodiment 3. As shown in fig. 7, in embodiment 3, a short-range wireless communication processing unit 18 is added to the vending machine 2 according to embodiment 1. The short-range wireless communication processing unit 18 performs a process of short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark), for example, in the same manner as the short-range wireless communication processing unit 35 of the portable terminal 3. The other structure is the same as embodiment 1.
Fig. 8 is a sequence diagram showing a sales control processing procedure according to embodiment 3 performed by reading two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3. In embodiment 3, the short-range wireless communication processing unit 35 is connected to the short-range wireless communication processing unit 18 in a communication manner, and the sales control unit 10b transmits the contents of the product selection button group 14 and the display operation unit 15 of the vending machine 2 to the mobile terminal 3. As a result, the contents corresponding to the contents of the product selection button group 14 and the display operation unit 15 are virtually displayed on the mobile terminal 3 side. In this state, the selection of the virtual product selection button 14a on the mobile terminal 3 side corresponding to step S101 (step S201) and the selection of the virtual settlement server corresponding to step S104 (step S202) are performed. The other processing procedures are the same as those in embodiment 1.
As shown in embodiment 3, even in an application example in which the selection of the commodity selection button 14a and the selection of the settlement server are performed on the mobile terminal 3 side, multiple settlement can be prevented and the sales control processing by reading the two-dimensional code information by the mobile terminal 3 can be easily added to the vending machine 2, as in embodiment 1.
That is, even in the vending machine 2 according to the application example shown in embodiment 3, since the settlement processing is performed in the same manner as in embodiments 1 and 2, the number of parts to be changed in the vending machine 2 can be reduced. Embodiment 1 and embodiment 3 can be used in combination.
(embodiment mode 4)
Fig. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the vending machine 2 according to embodiment 4. As shown in fig. 9, in embodiment 4, instead of displaying the two-dimensional code information 16a on the display unit 16 and reading it from the mobile terminal 3, the two-dimensional code reading unit 19 is newly provided in the vending machine 2, and the two-dimensional code reading unit 19 reads the two-dimensional code information displayed on the mobile terminal 3. The two-dimensional code reading unit 19 is an imaging unit such as a camera. The other structure is the same as embodiment 1.
Fig. 10 is a sequence diagram showing a process of the sales control processing by the vending machine 2 reading the two-dimensional code information of the portable terminal 3. In fig. 10, steps S301 to S311 are the same as steps S101 to S111 in embodiment 1. Then, in a state where "communication is being performed" (step S309) is displayed, the mobile terminal 3 causes the display operation unit 32 to display the two-dimensional code information including the user identification information (step S312), and when the two-dimensional code reading unit 19 is coated with the displayed two-dimensional code information, the sales control unit 10b causes the two-dimensional code reading unit 19 to read the two-dimensional code information (step S313). After that, the sales control unit 10b transmits the read two-dimensional code information to the external communication processing unit 17. The external communication processing unit 17 transmits the received two-dimensional code information to the settlement server a (step S314), and makes a settlement request to the settlement server a.
After that, the settlement server a performs settlement processing by matching the settlement request content with the order content, and when the settlement is successful (step S316), transmits a settlement success notification to the external communication processing unit 17 (step S317). The subsequent processing (steps S319 to S325) is the same as that of steps S119 to S125 in embodiments 1 and 2.
Note that, as in embodiment 2, an IP address may be set to the vending machine 2 side, and a settlement success notification may be transmitted from the settlement server a to the IP address, or as in embodiment 1, a polling for settlement confirmation may be performed from the vending machine 2 side.
In embodiment 4, in the case of performing the sales control process in which the vending machine 2 reads the two-dimensional code information of the mobile terminal 3, the acceptance of the settlement by the contactless card reader/writer 21, the contact card reader/writer 22, the coin mechanism 23, and the bill validator 24 is prohibited, and thus it is possible to prevent multiple settlement in the case of using the external settlement server A, B, C.
In embodiment 4, the vending machine 2 only needs to be provided with the two-dimensional code reading unit 19 for reading the two-dimensional code information of the mobile terminal 3 by the vending machine 2, and therefore, a simple configuration can be provided.
In embodiments 1 to 4, the description has been made using two-dimensional code information such as QR code (registered trademark) as an example of the barcode information, but the barcode information is not limited to this, and may be, for example, one-dimensional barcode information or other code information as long as the barcode information can be displayed and read.
In addition, in embodiments 1 to 4 described above, an automatic vending machine that sells commodities such as canned beverages, beverages bottled in glass, and beverages bottled in plastic has been described as an example of an automatic vending machine, but the automatic vending machine is not limited to this, and may be provided with at least a settlement processing unit that reads barcode information from the portable terminal 3 or reads barcode information displayed on the portable terminal 3 to perform settlement processing of commodities using the settlement server A, B, C, and 1 or more other settlement processing reception units such as the contactless card reader/writer 21, the contact card reader/writer 22, the coin mechanism 23, the banknote recognizer 24, and the credit card reader/writer, and may include an automatic device such as a ticket vending machine that uses commodities as securities such as tickets.
Note that each of the configurations shown in the above-described embodiments is a functionally schematic configuration, and the illustrated configuration is not necessarily physically required. That is, the form of distribution or integration of the respective devices and components is not limited to the form shown in the drawings, 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.
