Abstract
【解決手段】複数のセルラー搬送波中のいずれか1つのセルラー搬送波を使用して中央局と通信できる自動販売機(2,4,6)は遠隔測定装置(22)を含む。遠隔測定装置は、セルラー送受信機と、ディジタルシグナルプロセッサ式モデム(44)と、各セルラー搬送波のためのプロトコルに対応するソフトウェアを格納するメモリ(42)とを含む。自動販売機の小ユニットと関連するメモリにあるソフトウェアコードは、セルラー搬送波を使用して遠隔局から遠隔測定装置へソフトウェアの断片を送信し、遠隔測定装置でソフトウェアコードの断片を組み立て、組み立てられたソフトウェアコードを小ユニットのうちの指定された小ユニットへ中継することによりアップグレードさもなければ修正することができる。
【選択図】図1
Description
[発明の概要]
自動販売機からのデータは、累積され、第2のセルラー搬送波を使用して中央局へ送信される。
図1は、各々が以下により詳細に説明される遠隔測定装置を含む複数の自動販売機2、4及び6を示す。以下の説明で用いられているように、用語“自動販売機"は、ATM機やキオスク等のサービスを提供する機械ばかりでなく、飲物、スナック、キャンディ、化粧品、おもちゃまたは他の品物の自動販売機を含むが、これらに限らない。自動販売機2、4及び6は、移動電話交換局(MTSO)14で接続されたいくつかのセルラーネットワーク10,12のうちの1つを介して遠隔の中央コンピュータ端末または情報管理システム8と通信することができる。各セルラーネットワーク10,12は、いくつかのセルラー搬送波、すなわちネットワークプロバイダ中の異なるものと関連している。各セルラ0ネットワーク10、12は、受信信号を再送信することができる1つ以上のセルサイトを含む。
他の実施例は、請求項の範囲内で企図される。
