Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an unmanned store aggregate structure for selling or providing a plurality of products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as represented by the money lending business, unmanned stores for selling unmanned goods or providing services are increasing. The reasons for the increase in unmanned stores include the fact that quick and easy product sales or service provision is possible, and that in the money lending business, it is not necessary to meet other people. Many unmanned stores for selling goods are of the type in which vending machines are arranged. Since there is no need for facilities such as confirmation of customers and prevention of theft, many store structures usually have many vending machines installed in one room so that they can enter and exit freely.

[0003] In contrast, many unmanned stores aiming to provide services such as money lending business often rent a room in a building and install machines, or each company constructs a single store along the road, and It is currently providing services. This is because it is necessary to confirm customers individually in each industry, and above all, equipment for preventing theft is needed, and in many cases, each company has adopted a unique store structure.

In addition, recently, a seal certificate, a resident card,
Apparatus for issuing so-called official documents, such as transfer notices, and out-of-office ticket offices such as betting tickets are often seen, but such automatic document or ticket issuing apparatuses can be regarded as unmanned stores in a broad sense. The automatic document or ticket issuing device is often installed in a government office or a public place.

[0005]

When attention is paid to quick and easy product sales or service provision, which is an advantage of unmanned stores, it is desirable that unmanned stores can be installed more freely.
In response to this, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-31115 proposes a "capsule type store system". In this unmanned store, the unit capsule (booth block) that constitutes the unmanned store is transported and combined, regardless of the installation location, so that the unmanned store can be easily constructed and removed. The purpose of such easy installation and removal is to install ATMs (automated teller machines) and STs (unmanned contract machines) only on seasonal ski resorts and beaches where there is an artificial increase and decrease.

Using this capsule type store system,
An unmanned store can be built more easily. But,
In this capsule-type store system, it is possible to know what each ATM or ST user uses, and this is particularly inconvenient for ST users. Further, since each ATM or ST faces the outside with the wall surface as a boundary, it is difficult to perform the anti-theft function, which is problematic. The construction of an unmanned store in the town does not need to be considered for removal, but it is preferable that the unmanned store can be constructed more simply and collectively, because various merchandise sales or services can be received. Therefore, in order to enable the intensive construction of an unmanned store, we examined a collective structure of unmanned stores that is excellent in the anti-theft function because users do not have to face each other at least in use.

[0007]

As a result of the study, what has been developed is to divide a floor surface in a circumferential direction, and set up an inner circumferential side surface, an outer circumferential side surface and a pair of radial side surfaces on the floor surface. It consists of an enclosure-type store unit module and an entrance / exit unit module surrounded by each other. Are connected to each other on the radial side surface, and have a machine room surrounded by an inner circumferential side surface, an unmanned store for each store unit module, a passage connecting each unit module, and an entrance provided in the entrance unit module. It is an unmanned store assembly structure that is an integrated structure. A roof is provided for each unit module or for the entire connected structure.

[0008] Here, it is preferable that the floor surface is a circular or regular polygon, and in the case of a regular polygon, it is preferably a regular pentagon or more and equally divided along a diagonal line. The inner circumferential side and the outer circumferential side need not necessarily be curved curved surfaces following the circumference, provided that the inner circumferential side and the outer circumferential side of each connected unit module are connected continuously. It may be flat.

Specifically, (1) the store unit module is:
Store section that constitutes an unmanned store that stores equipment for selling or providing services on the center side that contacts the inner circumferential side, and has a passage on the circumferential side that touches the outer circumferential side, and the store section surrounds the periphery. It has a closed room structure partitioned by partition walls, and has a configuration in which doors that can be opened and closed are provided between each room in the store section or between the store section and the passage. In the present invention, since a separate entrance / exit unit module is provided, the entrance / exit is not necessarily required in the store unit module. For example, when a store structure is constituted only by the store unit module, a store unit module having an entrance / exit in some of the store unit modules It is good to use. If a camera or an interpersonal sensor is installed toward the entrance, it is possible to centrally monitor the entry and exit of people into the store structure, and it is possible to enhance security. A manual or automatic opening and closing door can be used as the entrance door.

[0010] The inner circumferential side surface and the radial side surface of the store unit module also serve as partition walls constituting the store section. Further, an outer circumferential side surface is provided apart from the partition wall, and a space is allocated between the outer circumferential side surface and the partition wall. The partition wall is preferably provided with security or fire resistance. The device for selling goods or providing services is installed so that the operation surface can be seen in the store section from the inner circumferential side surface. The door whose opening and closing can be regulated has a function of improving the security of the unoccupied store section. An automatic opening / closing door is suitable for the door whose opening and closing can be restricted, but it can be realized even with a manual opening / closing door by using a release knob which allows the door to be opened and closed only from one direction. The store section is
The interior may be further divided into small sections according to the usage form,
It is preferable to provide doors that can be opened and closed at partitions that divide each small section. The door that can be controlled to be opened and closed provided in the partition regulates the traveling direction of the customer in the store compartment, and in particular, in ST, receives personal authentication (individual determination of whether or not caching is possible) and unlocks the door. Provide a sorting function that makes it available for use. For the traveling direction of the customer, guidance by voice or lighting of a lamp may be used.

(2) The entrance / exit unit module has an access section on the center side in contact with the inner circumferential side for entering and exiting the machine chamber, and a passage and an entrance / exit on the circumferential side in contact with the outer circumferential side. The access section is separated from the passage and the machine room by a closed room structure in which the periphery is partitioned by a partition, and a lockable door is provided between the passage, the access section and the machine room. If a camera or an interpersonal sensor is installed toward the entrance, it is possible to centrally monitor the entry and exit of people into the store structure, and it is possible to enhance security. The inner circumferential side surface and the radial side surface of the entrance / outlet unit module also serve as partition walls constituting an access section. The access section spatially separates the aisle from the machine room and arranges a partition wall provided with a lockable door around the passage to prevent direct entry into the machine room from the aisle, thereby improving security. The machine room is a room where maintenance and repairs are performed by enabling access to the back of the device for selling or providing services of each store unit module.

As described above, according to the unmanned store assembly structure of the present invention, a product sales or service providing device is installed at the center position surrounded by the outer circumferential side surface, the passage, and the store section in order from the outside. Excellent in nature. In addition, since a plurality of unmanned stores can be aggregated in a relatively narrow range, customer convenience is excellent.
However, since the unmanned stores are not arranged side by side but arranged in the circumferential direction, there is a structural advantage that customers entering and exiting each unmanned store do not see each other. In the present invention, a single-story building is used as a basic structure. However, for example, a hierarchical structure can be adopted by providing stairs in an entrance unit module or on an outer circumferential side surface along a passage.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of an unmanned store assembly structure constructed based on the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the unmanned store assembly structure excluding a roof, and FIGS.
FIGS. 3A and 3B are plan views of the store unit module 1 for explaining the flow of customers at the time of use. FIG. 3 shows entry, FIG. 4 shows personal authentication, FIG. 5 shows cashing, and FIG.

The entire unmanned store assembly structure of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In this example, 8 in the circumferential direction
A store unit module 1 (seven buildings) consisting of a short cake-like housing with an inner circumferential side surface 3, an outer circumferential side surface 4, and a pair of radial side surfaces 5, 5 standing on an equally divided floor surface 2; It consists of an entrance / exit unit module 6 (one building). Inner circumferential side 3
Is a machine room 7, which can be accessed only through the access section 8 of the entrance unit module 6. In the machine room 7, each store unit module 1
A common power supply for the device (ST) 9 and a communication duct 10 are provided. The unit modules 1 and 6 are connected by radial side surfaces 5 and 5 on a preformed base 11 so as to connect the passages 12 to each other, and the roof 13 is covered integrally with all the unit modules. I have. The roof 13 is conical, with gutters 14
Is attached. In the passage 12, each unit module 1, 6
Light is taken in from the window 15 provided on the outer circumferential side surface 4 of the vehicle, and the inside and outside of the room are entered and exited only through the entrance 16 of the entrance / exit unit module 6.

The store unit module 1 is an example in which the ST 9 is installed. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the store unit module 1 has a closed room structure partially constituted by a partition wall which also serves as an inner circumferential side surface 3 and a radial side surface 5. Section 17 is further divided into four small sections 18,19,20,21. Each small section has a relatively wide waiting section 18 and a relatively narrow exit section 21 on the circumferential side, and an authentication section 19 on the center side.
And a caching section 20, and doors 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 are provided in the partition 22. Each door is basically a push door, but the entrance door 23 facing the passage is a sliding door so as not to obstruct the passage pedestrian. If possible, it is preferable to make each door an automatic door that opens left and right without disturbing walkers and the like. The authentication section door 24 is also used for push and pull so that a customer who has not been personally authenticated in the authentication section 19 can return to the waiting section 18 and exit. The entrance door 23 and the authentication section door 24 are basically openable and closable, but the authentication section door 24 is temporarily locked when the customer moves to the caching section 20 after personal authentication. The caching compartment door 25 is an opening / closing control door that is unlocked for the first time after personal authentication, an exit compartment door 26, and an exit door 27.
Is an opening / closing control door that can be opened only from the exit direction using the release knob 28.

As shown in FIG. 2, the entrance / exit unit module 6 is provided with entrances 16 inside and outside the entire unmanned store assembly structure, and the machine room 7 is a partition wall which partially serves as the inner circumferential side surface 3 and the radial side surface 5. Passage in access section 8 of structured closed room structure
It is a structure isolated from 12. Inside and outside doors of access section 8
Numerals 29 and 30 are lockable doors, which are sliding doors so as not to obstruct a person in the passage 12 or the machine room 7. The entrance door 31 is also a sliding door.
The passage 12 of the doorway unit module 6 gathers customers from the doorway 16 and customers gathering from both passages 12 and 12,
The area ratio is about twice as large as the passage 12 of the store unit module 1. In this example, the double door door 31 is used, but an automatic door that opens left and right may also be used. A camera 33 installed inside the entrance 16 monitors the entrance and exit of customers in a centralized manner.

In this example, the flow of a customer when receiving caching from ST9 will be described with reference to FIGS. The customer enters the building of the unmanned store assembly structure from the entrance 16 of the entrance / exit unit module 6 and passes through the passage 12
The user walks to the store unit module 1 including the ST 9 and enters the waiting area 18 from the entrance door 23 as shown in FIG. The waiting area 18 is relatively large, and while one of the customers is performing the authentication procedure in the authentication area 19, two of the other
~ 3 people can wait. If the customer is not in the authentication section 19, the customer who has entered the waiting section 18 first enters the authentication section 19 via the authentication section door 24. The authentication section 19 includes an authentication-related operation panel of ST9.

A customer entering the authentication section 19 cannot open the caching section door 25 and move to the caching section 20 as it is. The authentication section 19 and the caching section 20 are separated from each other by a partition 22, and a caching section door 25 that is unlocked for the first time after personal authentication exists between the sections 19 and 20. For this reason, for example, when the personal authentication of the customer fails in the authentication section 19, as shown in FIG. 4, the customer exits again through the authentication section door 24 and the entrance door 23. As described above, the present invention realizes a double check in which the customer first checks with the camera 33 at the entrance 16 and then personally authenticates at each unmanned store, thereby further improving crime prevention.

If the personal authentication is successful, the caching compartment door 25 is unlocked for the first time and the customer can move to the caching compartment 20, as seen in FIG. It is preferable from a security perspective that the caching compartment door 25 is locked again after the customer has passed through and closed. But,
From the point of view of service to the customer, the customer is
It is preferable to lock after confirming that it has moved from 19 to the caching section 20. Therefore, for example, a sensor for confirming the presence of a customer may be provided in the authentication section 19. At the same time as unlocking the caching compartment door 25, the authentication compartment door 24
Is locked, it is possible to prevent other customers from trying to enter the caching compartment 20 using the customer who has been personally authenticated, or the caching operation of the customer who has been personally authenticated is performed by the caching compartment door 25 and the authentication. Separating the two compartment doors 24 has advantages such as being completely invisible to other customers. The caching section 20 has a caching-related operation panel of ST9.

The customer who has completed the caching opens the exit section door 26 and enters the exit section 21 once, as shown in FIG. 6, and then pushes the exit door 27 to exit the passage 12. At this time, the authentication section door 24 locked when the customer moves to the caching section 20 may be unlocked again in conjunction with the opening and closing of the exit section door 26. Further, since the exit section door 26 can be opened only in the exit direction, a customer who has moved to the exit section 21 cannot return to the caching section 20. Similarly, the customer who opened the exit door 27 from the exit section 21 and exited the aisle 12
The exit door 27 can only be opened in the exit direction.
It must go from 18 to authentication block 19.

As described above, the unmanned store using the store unit module 1 according to the present invention has a partition 22 for dividing the store section 17.
And a plurality of small compartments 18, 19, 20, 21 and a door 24 capable of opening and closing,
In combination with 25 and 26, the flow of customers in the unmanned store can be regulated in one direction, and step-by-step movement between small sections 18, 19, 20, and 21 can be used smoothly without any mistakes in the procedure. Has been realized. In order to help the customer move more smoothly, guidance by sound or lighting of a lamp may be provided according to opening and closing of the door and operation of the device. In addition, such a structurally complex store section 17 reduces opportunities for customers to face each other, and contributes to an improvement in crime prevention especially when the ST9 is installed.

In the ST illustrated in FIG. 3 et seq., A complicated store section 17 is employed in order to secure confidentiality between customers.
If an ATM is installed, it is not necessary to use so complicated store sections. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, if an ATM 32 is installed in a simple store section 17 in which a partition 22 is installed between an entrance door 23 for entering a room and an exit door 27 for exiting, the user enters from the entrance door 23. Since the customers are inevitably arranged along the partition 22, the ATM 32 can be used in a so-called fork arrangement, which is convenient. In this case, the entrance door 23 or the exit door 27 is not indispensable, but in order to orientate the arrangement as described above or to improve the security as described above, the entrance door that can be opened and closed can be regulated. 23 and exit door
27 (especially at the exit door 27) is preferably provided.

A feature of the store structure of the present invention is that each unmanned store is integrated into a module that can be combined.
For this reason, when the number of stores increases, or when each unit module becomes large and the total length of the passage becomes too long, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, two entrance / exit modules 6, 6 are used. Is also good. In this case, a camera 33 is installed at each of the entrances 16 of each entrance / exit module 6 to monitor the entrance and exit of customers. Further, in order to increase the number of unmanned stores, a store unit module 34 having an entrance 16 as shown in FIG. 9 may be used instead of the entrance unit module. When all the unit modules become the store unit modules 1 and 34, each device is maintained from the store section. A camera 33 may also be installed at the entrance 16 to centrally monitor customer entry and exit.

[0024]

According to the present invention, a plurality of unmanned stores can be efficiently aggregated to provide a diversified service for customers, and an unmanned store aggregation structure excellent in crime prevention and maintenance for a trader. become. If the unit modules constituting the unmanned store assembly structure are standardized, the unit cost of the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the unit modules can be constructed only by connecting the unit modules of the same shape, so that the construction cost can be reduced. In particular, the construction cost and the maintenance cost (land cost, etc.) are substantially equal to (the total number of unit modules−the number of entrance / exit unit modules), and there is an advantage that the burden on the dealer who opens each unmanned store is reduced. The number of stores can easily be increased or decreased by the number of modules.

The feature of the unmanned store aggregation structure of the present invention is that each unmanned store is oriented in the radial direction, and stores are arranged so that users of each unmanned store can use each other without seeing each other. This is especially desirable for ST users. In addition, since equipment for selling goods or providing services is arranged in the center of the structure, and these equipment are surrounded by the store section, the passage, and the outer circumferential side surface, the security is extremely high. Similarly, a partition in a store section that enhances security has the advantage that it can provide smooth service by directing the flow of customers. Regarding security, it can be enhanced by double checking with cameras or interpersonal sensors and individual authentication at doorways and unmanned stores, and there is also a means of adopting a hierarchical structure and arranging unmanned stores that require more security on the second floor or more. . Furthermore, in unmanned stores with enhanced security, in addition to cash handling,
Payment or settlement by credit card or electronic money can also be made safe.

From the above description, it can be seen that the unmanned store aggregation structure of the present invention is particularly suitable for use in ATMs or STs handling cash. However, as shown in the example, by simplifying the store section, it is possible to configure an unmanned store suitable for selling goods and providing other services in addition to ATM or ST. For example, betting ticket and other out-of-office ticket offices,
In addition to the vending machines such as railway tickets, airplane or ship tickets, gift certificates, etc., stamping certificates, resident cards, and issuing devices for official documents such as moving in and out, the advantages of security and the centralized structure of unmanned stores Utilizing it, it will be able to sell various products and provide services such as taxi ticket sales, moving company reservations, personal import procedures, and brokerage of used car sales. As described above, the unmanned store aggregation structure of the present invention makes it possible to provide a new form of unmanned store.
