BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic card issuing machine, and more particularly to an automatic card issuing machine for issuing cards such as a memorial card having a pattern on its surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the design of a card issued by an automatic ticket vending machine is a uniform design, and the design is not changed for a certain period of time. On the other hand, there are commemorative cards issued for the purpose of commemorating some kind of commemorative event, the turning of the season, or introducing tourist spots. This memorial card is of interest to collectors, and many people collect it. Thus, for those who collect the commemorative card, the main purpose is to collect the commemorative card having a specific pattern, not to actually use the purchased card. Therefore, in order to recognize the issue of the commemorative card as a kind of event for specific collectors, the selling side also actively advertises information such as the time when the commemorative card is released, the place or its pattern to the users of electric railways. Not. In addition, the place of sale is limited to a specific place such as a station shop or a green window, so it is difficult for those who wish to purchase a commemorative card,
I mistakenly thought that I could buy a commemorative card with a general ticket vending machine and mistakenly purchased a general card, which required unnecessary time and trouble such as requesting a refund later.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a card issuing machine that displays guidance information that a general ticket vending machine cannot buy a commemorative card to reduce mistakes and confusion caused thereby. The purpose is to do. Another purpose is to increase the convenience of the user by making it possible to purchase a commemorative card at a ticket vending machine. Another object is to improve the service to users by making it possible to select the design of the commemorative card.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides claim 1 in the case where money satisfying the purchase fee of a predetermined card is inserted and a fee button corresponding to the fee is pressed. In the automatic card issuing machine for issuing the predetermined card, the card guidance information generating means for generating information for guiding the type of the card is provided, and when money satisfying the purchase fee is inserted, the card guidance The information generated by the information generating means is displayed on the display unit of the automatic card issuing machine. In a general card issuing machine, when money that meets the purchase fee of a predetermined card is inserted and a fee button corresponding to the fee is pressed, guidance information is displayed on the display unit. The guidance information is mainly information that guides the procedure operated by the user, not information that guides the card type. Therefore, many users mistakenly think that any type of card can be purchased at the card issuing machine, which causes troubles.
As one means for preventing this, it is effective to display guidance information that other types of cards cannot be purchased and urge the user to do so. According to this invention, the card guide information generating means for generating information for guiding the type of the card is provided, and when money satisfying the purchase fee is inserted,
Since the information generated by the card guide information generating means is displayed on the display unit of the automatic card issuing machine, the user can recognize the types of cards that can be purchased in advance.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the information generated by the card guide information generating means is information for notifying that the card is not a memorial card or information for purchasing the memorial card, and is issued by the predetermined card. In that case, erasing the information from the display unit is also an effective means of the present invention. General card issuing machines do not sell commemorative cards. Therefore, if you wish to purchase the card during the period when the commemorative card is on sale, you must go to the station shop or a specific window to purchase the card. Therefore, purchase applicants who did not know it purchased the card with a general card issuing machine, and then, knowing that it was not a commemorative card, refunded at the counter or had it exchanged for a commemorative card. This was a waste of time and effort for both parties, and there was room for improvement. This cause is that the purchase applicant does not know the place to purchase the memorial card,
This is largely due to lack of publicity on the issuer side. Therefore,
It is preferable to display guidance information to the effect that the card is not a commemorative card when the fee is charged to the card issuing machine, and to remind the user. Furthermore, it is more preferable that the place where the commemorative card is sold is also shown together. Then, when the user who has seen the guide purchases the card as it is at the ticket vending machine, it is determined that he / she does not want the commemorative card, and the guide information is not necessary anymore, and the display is erased.
According to this technical means, the information generated by the card guide information generating means is information for notifying that the card is not a commemorative card or information for purchasing the commemorative card, and the predetermined card is issued. In this case, since the information is erased from the display unit, it is possible to prevent the user from purchasing the card by mistake and improve the service to the user.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, color can be displayed on an automatic card issuing machine which issues the predetermined card when money that meets the purchase fee of the predetermined card is inserted and a fee button corresponding to the fee is pressed.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the image data is a picture of at least one or more commemorative cards, and it is also an effective means of the present invention to display the picture by the display means only during the commemorative card sale period. is there. When a user pays a fee to a card issuing machine and purchases a card, he / she decides whether or not to purchase by looking at the design of the commemorative card. Therefore, even if the design which has passed the sale period is displayed, the user cannot determine whether or not the card can be purchased. Therefore, when trying to purchase the card, it may not be possible to purchase the card, which may cause a trouble. Therefore, by displaying only the pattern corresponding to the sale period, the service for users can be improved. According to such a technical means, since the design is displayed on the display means only during the commemorative card sale period, it is possible to prevent in advance an error in purchasing a commemorative card having a non-released design.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided card storage means for storing at least one or more commemorative cards corresponding to the patterns stored in the storage means, and pattern selection means for selecting the pattern displayed by the display means. It is also an effective means of the present invention to select a commemorative card of the picture selected by the picture selecting means from the card storing means and issue the selected commemorative card when money satisfying the purchase fee is inserted. Is. In claim 3, since all of the image data accumulated in the accumulating means is displayed by the displaying means, all the commemorative cards of the displayed patterns are individually stored, and the patterns desired by the user are stored therein. If is selected, the commemorative card corresponding to the design must be selected and issued. For example, if the display screen has a touch panel structure, the commemorative card on which the desired design is printed may be issued by pressing the desired design and pressing the issue button after confirmation. According to such a technical means, when the money satisfying the purchase fee is inserted, the commemorative card of the pattern selected by the pattern selecting means is selected from the card storing means and issued,
The user can arbitrarily select from the desired pattern.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided printing means for printing the design selected by the design selecting means on the commemorative card, and when money satisfying the purchase fee of the predetermined card is inserted, the design selecting means is used. It is also an effective means of the present invention to print the selected pattern by the printing means and issue the printed commemorative card. In claim 5, commemorative cards for all the patterns on the display screen must be prepared in advance. In this case, the time to issue cards is fast, but a place to store multiple cards is required,
The entire device becomes large. Therefore, in order to reduce the size of the device by sacrificing the issuing time to some extent, when the user selects the desired design from the designs on the display screen and presses the issue button, the selected design is printed by the printing means. It is printed and issued on a commemorative card. As a result, it is sufficient to prepare one type of card on which no pattern is printed. According to such a technical means, when the money which meets the purchase fee is inserted, the pattern selected by the pattern selecting means is printed by the printing means and the printed commemorative card is issued. The device can be downsized by preparing a card.
