Definitions

  • This invention relates to automatic vending machines and components therefor, and in one aspect is adapted to permit the. automatic dispensing of rented video cassettes and the return of such video cassettes into a store in the automatic vending machine for future dispensing. In another aspect this invention relates to a method of operation of automatic vending machines.
  • vending machines are in common use comprising a store for items which may be mechanically dispensed from the store through an opening accessible to a patron -- for example, cigarette vending machines.
  • the store in such a machine comprises a stack or column containing identical items, for example, the same brand of cigarette. The lowermost item in the stack may be ejected upon activating a mechanism. If a variety of items are to be,dispensed, a plurality of stacks, one for each brand, and a plurality of ejectors, one for the bottom of each stack, are necessary.
  • a plurality of compartments each containing one item may be provided, each compartment accessible through a door to the compartment which opens, permitting the contents to be removed, upon the patron depositing sufficient coinage.
  • the latter type of vending machine is vulnerable to vandalism since the contents of each compartment may be exposed by forcing the door to the compartment
  • vending machines have not been adapted to permit the dispensing and return of items on a rental basis.
  • Video cassettes are relatively expensive when compared to the type of items typically dispensed from vending machines and at the same time are capable of numerous viewings. They therefore are an ideal item to be rented from and returned to a machine.
  • the essential deficiency of vending machines commonly in use where the store comprises a plurality of stacks or columns is that each stack can carry only one title. While a stack will permit a number of copies of the same video cassette to be carried in the stack, the variety of titles is limited to the number of available stacks. Given the size of video cassettes and the practical limits on the size of vending machines, a limit of twenty stacks is reasonable.
  • the store comprises a plurality of compartments each with an access door
  • a greater variety of inventory may be stored, however, practical problems remain since there are limits to the amount of inventory which may be stored and each compartment containing a video cassette worth approximately $ 1 00.00 would be exposed to vandalism.
  • a video cassette store in the form of a carousel mounted to rotate about a vertical axis and having a number of circumferentially spaced compartments is disclosed.
  • Each video cassette corresponds to its own particular compartment in the store.
  • Rotation of the carousel registers each circumferentially spaced compartment corresponding to a selected video cassette with a delivery receptacle.
  • an ejection lever pushes the selected cassette from the compartment into the delivery receptacle.
  • a bar code is read identifying the cassette and the carousel rotates until the compartment corresponding to the cassette being returned registers with the delivery receptacle.
  • a patron presents to the machine a hire token which has been made available to the patron only if a predetermined deposit has been made to provide a positive amount on the card which is readable by an optical or magnetic sensor.
  • the hire token upon presentation, is stored in the machine.
  • the patron then inserts a payment token which may be in the form of one or more coins, or, in the alternative, the machine will keep a permanent record of the details of the patron and of the article rented to him so that an account can be sent periodically to him.
  • the patron may then select a video cassette.
  • the hire token is released, or, if the video cassette is overdue and charges are owing, the hire token is not released until the charges are paid.
  • an automatic vending machine which will read any banking transaction or credit card (for example, VisaTM, American ExpressTM, Master CardTM) to conduct a financial transaction with any patron presenting a valid banking transaction or credit card, rather than limiting authorized transactions to patrons presenting a valid "hire token in the form of a card 29" identifiable with a known patron.
  • banking transaction or credit card for example, VisaTM, American ExpressTM, Master CardTM
  • Maciver One of the essential aspects of United States Patent Number 4,458,802 (“Maciver”) is that when the patron returns the cassette to the machine after use of the cassette, the machine upon recognizing the code on the article previously selected by the patron, accepts it into its own particular compartment in a store. Therefore, a returned article is stored in its own compartment stored in the machine memory and which cassette then becomes accessible for further dispensing.
  • "Maciver" acknowledges by his disclosure of two further modified versions of the machine that the preferred embodiment employing circumferentially spaced compartments in a rotatable carousel registrable with a delivery receptacle has a limited capacity to store a large inventory permitting both variety and duplication of titles.
  • a return chute permits a patron to return the rented video cassette.
  • For cassette recognition purposes means are provided to read a code on the video cassette to enable the machine to selectively reject the return of the video cassette deposited.
  • a returned video cassette is not automatically returned to an address in a store which may be recalled from machine memory and be accessible for further dispensing.
  • "Gould” dis- ctoses a vending mechanism which ejects a video cassette from an address in a store
  • "Gould” illustrates another deficiency apparent in the prior art Since only twenty-four addresses may be selected in the store, the variety of titles which may be stored is limited to twenty-four.
  • "Gould” teaches a complete transaction terminal wherein a customer inserts a magnetically encoded credit card into a card reader, thereby providing customer identification which is sent to a computer memory.
  • the computer will store data representative of the rental or return of a video cassette including matching the patron to the vended cassette and the charges for the transaction.
  • a number of peripherals necessary for communication between the patron and the computer are provided in the terminal including a keyboard, information display screen, bar code sensor to scan a video cassette vended from or returned to the terminal so that it may be registered in the computer memory, and a receipt printer.
  • "Gould” teaches a security chest to house all components of the terminal system, which may include a supply of cash and a cash dispensing mechanism, and may also include a depository for receiving customer deposits.
  • the depository mechanism for receiving deposits from a depository slot may include a printer so as to print an identifying deposit number on each deposit, and means to transport the deposit to a depository bin.
  • no automatic means are provided to read, scan or otherwise confirm the face value of the money comprising the deposit.
  • a transaction terminal having a plurality of twenty circumferentially disposed compartments radially spaced from a centre of a carousel which compartments may each be rotated selectively to register with an access opening so that only the selected article is accessible through the opening.
  • a particular denomination of bank note may be associated with a particular compartment.
  • currency may be deposited into an empty compartment.
  • the device disclosed in “Bosinger” is designed to provide control means to ensure that only the selected compartment is visible through the opening to a user. As far as is apparent from the disclosure in "Bosinger", currency deposited in one of the circumferentially disposed compartments is not accessible for subsequent dispensing to a customer making a withdrawal.

  • Keyboard lights 193 associated with keys for selecting mode of rent, return or buy (best seen in Figure 2) will light up.
  • Computer C knows that a transaction sequence has commenced and Computer C 189 will then address Computer B and turn over control of selection of a video cassette to Computer B subroutines.
  • Computer B Once Computer B is given control by Computer C it will address keyboard 195 and wait for instructions.
  • Light emitting diode display 185 can display a sequence of instructions to a customer as stored in EPROM memory of Computer B 157 . A customer will then push right 197 or left 199 directional arrow keys on keyboard 195.
  • Depressing either one of directional keys 1 97, 1 99 initiates an accelleration/decelleration program in the form of an algorithm stored in EPROM which instructs the banner stepping motor 61 to circulate the film strip 45 until key 197,199 is released. Acceleration/deceleration program will ensure that when the directional key 197,199 is released, the film strip 4 5 will come to rest with the column of frames 47 closest the window 49 at the time the key 197,199 is released registering accurately with window 49. A customer will then select one of titles 53', 55', 57' aligned in the window by depressing one of selection keys 53,55,57.
  • Computer B' will then relate to the column 47 registered in the window 49 with the particular selection key 53,55,57 to identify a top, middle or bottom position of frames 51.
  • Frame 5 1 will be related to a memory address in RAM containing information relevant to the particular video cassette represented by the frame 51 selected, for example title, cost and title code.
  • Once the title code is addressed in RAM it may be compared to another list of video cassettes (in volatile RAM memory) in stock in the automatic vending machine 32 to confirm that the selected title code is available.
  • the liquid crystal display 183 will then display information relevant to the selected title adjacent that frame selected as appears from windows 5 4 ', 56', 58' of liquid crystal display 185 best seen in Figure 1.
  • Computer B 157 will then communicate information relevant to the transaction including the code of the video cassette selected and its location in the shelving matrices to Computer C and turn over control to Computer C to complete the transaction.
  • Computer C' With particular reference to Computer C'", seen in Figure 25, it generally controls the functional interaction between Computers A, B and C as well as telecommunications via a 201T modem.
  • the 201T modem is manufactured by Motorolla, modef '202T modem' of an asynchronous mode and utilizes Bell Communications Software "Datapac 3201 TM " to communicate with a host computer.
  • the host computer may be that of the owner for monitoring the status of machine 32 or it may be that of a commercial database providing (in volatile memory) a fist of invalid credit cards.
  • Computer C Once Computer C" receives from Computer B the code of the video cassette selected by the customer and its location in the shelving matrices, it will instruct Computer A to retrieve the selected video cassette by giving it the address of the particular compartment 4 0 which is to be accessed by the assembly 38. Computer A will then retrieve the selected video cassette through a routine, manipulating stepping motors 74,78,90. Computer A will wait for a customer to remove the video cassette 36 from the moveable access compartment 66 at which time sensors 169,171 will sense the absence of the tape. Computer A will then slide closure plate 114 in front of access opening 4 4. Computer C will then address the keyboard 195 and allow the customer to either end the transaction or select another video cassette.
  • the entire transaction sequence (for example: compartment accessed, video cassette code title corresponding to bar code 48, video cassette rental price, buying price in default of return, time video. cassette removed by customer, customer credit card number) will be stored in volatile memory transaction buffers of Computer C"'.
  • Computer C will then print out a quotation of the transaction through printer 203 for the customer records. After the receipt is printed, Computer C instructs Computer B to return to a display mode circulating film strip 45.
  • the transaction sequence for the purchase of a video cassette is the same as that for rental, save and except for the price.
  • a customer inserts a magnetically encoded credit card into the magnetic card reader 41, and presses the return key 195.
  • Computer C will instruct Computer B to open the access opening 44 by registering moveable access Compartment 66 with said opening 44.
  • Computer B waits for the video cassette to be inserted as verified by sensors 169,171 and then closes the opening 44.
  • the bar code scanner 108 reads the bar code 48 on the inserted video cassette and inputs the code to Computer A.
  • Computer A sends the bar code to Computer C which sends it on to Computer B.
  • Computer B takes the code and scans its volatile memory (RAM) to confirm that the video cassette belongs to the machine 32.
  • RAM volatile memory
  • Computer B will search its volatile memory list of shelving matrices 34,73 and find the first vacant compartment 40 in the shelving matrices nearest the access compartment 66. Computer B will send the address of this vacant compartment 40 to Computer C which will in turn hand off the address to Computer A while instructing Computer A to put the returned video cassette 36 in the vacant compartment. Computer B then stores the location in the shelving matrices 34,73 of the returned video cassette in its volatile memory for access when the machine is next in the rental or purchase mode previously described. Computer C will then address the keyboard 35 (described as 193,195 in Figure 25) to give the customer the option of ending the transaction or continuing. If the transaction ends, a receipt is printed by printer 203 and discharged through slot 39.
