A payout unit 150 is provided below the image input unit 140. The payout unit 150 has a function of paying out an article to be sold and a seal to be attached to the article to a user. In the embodiment shown here, the dispensing section 150 is divided into a seal dispensing section 151 and an article dispensing section 152, and the seal and the article are respectively dispensed to separate dispensing ports. Payment may be made from a common outlet.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing basic components of the goods vending machine of FIG. Among the components shown in the block diagram, the display 110, the operation panel 120, the money input unit 130, the image input unit 140, and the payout unit 150 (the seal payout unit 151 and the goods payout unit 152) The components are the same as those shown in the external view of FIG. On the other hand, the control unit 200, the seal accommodating unit 210, the printing unit 220, and the article accommodating unit 230 are all components installed inside the device housing 100 shown in FIG. It does not appear in the external view.

The control section 200 is a component that controls the vending machine in general, and specifically uses a personal computer. The seal accommodating section 210 is a component for accommodating a large number of the illustrated seals 10, and the printing section 220 is a component for carrying in the seal from the seal accommodating section 210 and printing an image on the surface thereof. In this example, a general personal computer digital printer is used as the printing unit 220, and the image data captured by the image input unit 140 is given to the printing unit 220 via the control unit 200 ( Of course, image data may be directly supplied from the image input unit 140 to the printing unit 220.) The printing unit 220 prints an image on the sticker 10 based on the given image data. The printed seal 10 is paid out of the apparatus from the seal payout unit 151. On the other hand, the article storage section 230 is a component that stores an article to be sold. In this example, a digital wristwatch is used as the article 20 to be sold, and a large number of digital wristwatches are accommodated in the article storage section 230. The stored articles 20 are paid out of the apparatus from the article payout section 152 at the time of sale.

FIG. 3 is a top view showing the configuration of a digital wrist watch as the article 20 stored in the article storage section 230. In this example, the article 20 is composed of two parts, a watch body 21 and a dial cover 25. The watch main body 21 is a main component of the article 20, and includes a dial 22, a digital display section 23 and an electronic mechanism section 24 (not shown in FIG. 3) formed on a part thereof, and Includes bands and clasps. In the illustrated example, the dial 22 is not provided with any pattern such as a picture, but this is for sticking a seal on the surface of the dial 22 later. The digital display unit 23 is constituted by a liquid crystal display panel, and displays numbers indicating time. On the other hand, the dial cover 25 is a transparent disk-shaped component, and can be fitted to the dial 22. FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing a state in which a dial cover 25 is fitted to the dial 22 of the timepiece body 21. The electronic mechanism section 24 is a device buried below the dial 22 and houses a digital display section 23, a battery, and the like. As shown, a tapered portion T is formed around the dial 22. In this example, since the dial cover 25 is made of a transparent acrylic resin and has a certain degree of flexibility, the dial cover 25 is pushed into the tapered portion T so that the dial cover 25 is pressed. It will be fixed to the dial 22 in a fitted state.

As described above, the article 20 is constituted by the timepiece body 21 and the dial cover 25, and the dial cover 25 is fitted to the dial 22 to form a completed digital wristwatch. However, as will be described later, since a seal is stuck on the upper surface of the dial 22, the dial cover 25 is provided without being fitted to the dial 22 at the time of sale by this article vending machine. There is a need. Therefore, the article accommodation section 230 has a function of accommodating the watch main body 21 and the dial cover 25 while maintaining the non-fitting state. Specifically, for example, a structure may be adopted in which the watch body 21 and the dial cover 25 are separately housed, or each dial cover 25 is fixed to the band portion of each watch body 21 with tape. May be adopted. The article dispensing section 152 has a function of dispensing the article 20 stored in the article storing section 230 to the outside. However, the watch main body 21 and the dial cover 25 are also in a non-fitted state. It will be paid out while maintaining it. For example, the watch main body 21 and the dial cover 25 may be separately paid out to the payout port of the article payout section 152 shown in FIG. Both may be paid out together with the tape fixed to the band.

On the other hand, the seal accommodating portion 210 shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2 accommodates a large number of seals 10 suitable for sticking to the article 20. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing an example of the seal 10. The seal 10 has a two-layer structure of a seal body layer (the layer shown in FIG. 5) and a backing layer (a layer attached to the back side of the seal body layer). When peeled off, the adhesive is attached to the back side of the seal body layer. Moreover, the seal body layer is cut into a shape suitable for sticking to the article 20. For example, each of the illustrated circular seal pieces 11 and 12 is obtained by cutting the seal body layer into a shape following the contour of the dial 22 of the timepiece body 21. Moreover, a rectangular cutting line is formed inside the seal pieces 11 and 12 along the contour of the digital display section 23. Therefore, when the sealing piece 11 or the sealing piece 12 is peeled off from the backing paper, only the hatched portion in FIG. 6 is obtained as one sealing piece. This seal piece has a shape and a size suitable for being attached to the dial 22 of the timepiece body 21 shown in FIG. 3, and has an opening window corresponding to the contour of the digital display unit 23. Therefore, even after pasting, the time display on the digital display unit 23 is not hidden.

In the seal 10 shown in FIG. 5, the eight seal pieces 13 arranged below are so-called “bonus” seal pieces, and are not intended to be attached to the article 20 for use. (Of course, it can also be used by sticking to the article 20). Each of the eight seal pieces 13 is formed by cutting the seal body layer into a rectangular shape, and the hatched portions in FIG. 6 can be separated as independent seal pieces.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the image input unit 140 provided in the article vending machine, and shows a side cross section of a portion around the image input unit 140 of the apparatus shown in FIG. You. As shown in the figure, an insertion slot 141 is formed on the front surface of the apparatus housing 100, and a user can insert an arbitrary article into the apparatus from the insertion port 141. The article inserted from the insertion port 141 is photographed by a CCD camera 143 built in the photographing unit 142. For example, if the user inserts an arbitrary photo P from the insertion port 141 and places it on the stage 144 as shown, the image on the photo P is captured as digital data by the CCD camera 143. Will be. Of course, the article placed on the stage 144 may be any article. If the focusing range of the CCD camera 143 is set as wide as possible, it is possible to photograph even a three-dimensional article having a certain thickness.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, image data captured by the image input unit 140 is provided to the control unit 200. In this example, a general-purpose personal computer is used as the control unit 200, and a storage device such as a memory or a magnetic disk is built in. Therefore, the image data from the image input unit 140 is stored in the storage device in the control unit 200. The control unit 200 performs a process of giving the image data to the display 110 as needed. As a result, the captured image is displayed on the display 110, and the user can check the captured image on the display 110.

Further, the user can operate the operation panel 120 to input necessary instructions, and control the image capturing condition in the image input unit 140 based on the instruction input from the operation panel 120. You may keep it. For example, a process is performed in which the current image captured by the image input unit 140 is displayed on the display 110 in real time, and a designation of a trimming range for the captured image, a designation of a capture magnification, and the like are issued from the operation panel 120. Then, more flexible image capture work becomes possible. Furthermore, it is also possible to take in a plurality of images and perform processing for synthesizing the plurality of images. Alternatively, image data such as a frame pattern or illustration can be prepared in advance in a storage device in the control unit 200, and an image captured by the image input unit 140 can be combined with an image such as a frame pattern or illustration. .

In this embodiment, an example in which the CCD camera 143 is used as the image input unit 140 is shown. However, as long as the image input unit 140 has a function of capturing an external image, Such a thing may be used. For example, an optical scanner device can be used in place of the CCD camera 143. In this case, for example, a scanner device may be provided below the stage 144. In addition, the function of the image input unit 140 is not necessarily limited to a function of capturing an image of an article inserted through the insertion slot 141. For example, the image input unit 140 has a function of photographing a portrait of a user. 140 may be used. In this case, the camera constituting the image input unit 140 may be installed at a position suitable for photographing the face of the user standing on the front of the apparatus housing 100.

As described above, the captured image or an image obtained by processing or synthesizing the captured image is displayed on the display 110. The user finally sees the displayed image on the seal while viewing the displayed image. An image to be printed can be confirmed. At this time, the control unit 200 performs a process of synthesizing an image in a state where the seal is attached to the article 20 and displays the synthesized image on the display 110. It is possible to confirm the form of the final product attached. When the user gives a final confirmed instruction to the operation panel 120, the control unit 200 gives this final image data to the printing unit 220 together with the print instruction. In response to this print instruction, the printing unit 220 takes out one sheet of the seal 10 from the seal accommodating unit 210 and performs printing based on the image data given to the seal body layer side.

For example, it is assumed that a user places a photograph P showing his / her face on the stage 144 and captures an image. Then, the image of the face photograph is captured by the image input unit 140 and displayed on the display 110. When the user gives an instruction for final confirmation from the operation panel 120, the image data of the face photograph is given to the printing unit 220, and for example, a printed seal 10 as shown in FIG. 8 is obtained. become. In this example, the same face photograph image is printed on each of the seal pieces 11 and 12 and the eight seal pieces 13. Of course, it is also possible to capture a plurality of images and print a different image for each sticker piece. When the printing is completed in this way, the printed sticker 10 is paid out from the seal payout unit 151. On the other hand, an instruction to pay out the article is given from the control section 200 to the article payout section 152, and the timepiece body 21 and the dial cover 25 as shown in FIG.

After receiving the clock main body 21, the dial cover 25, and the seal 10 thus paid out, the user may perform the work of attaching the seal piece 11. For example, the seal piece 11 is peeled off from the seal 10 shown in FIG. 8 and attached on the dial 22 of the watch body 21 as shown in FIG. 9 (the rectangular opening window of the seal piece 11 is located at the position of the digital display unit 23). Then, if the operation of fitting the dial cover 25 to the dial 22 is performed, a digital wristwatch as shown in FIG. 10 is finally completed. On the dial 22, a seal piece 11 on which a user's favorite image is displayed is affixed, and a dial cover 25 is mounted thereon. The dial cover 25 functions as a protective cover, protecting the printed image on the seal from dirt and preventing the seal piece 11 from peeling off from the dial 22. Thus, the user has a so-called bespoke watch.

In the above-described example, a digital wristwatch having a circular dial 22 as shown in FIG. 3 is used as the article 20, but the design of the wristwatch has a large difference in the taste of each user. Therefore, it is practically preferable to prepare wristwatches of several designs as articles. For example, in addition to an article 20 made of a digital watch having a circular dial as shown in FIG. 3, an article 30 made of a digital watch having a square dial as shown in FIG. An article 40 composed of a digital wristwatch having an elliptical dial as shown in FIG. 11B is prepared, and a plurality of articles 20, 30, 40 are stored in the article storage section 230, respectively. By doing so, the user can select an article having a desired design. As described above, when a plurality of types of articles are prepared in the article storage section 230, the seal storage section 210 may be provided with a plurality of types of seals to be attached to each of the plurality of types of articles. . In the case of the above example, for example, for an article 30 made of a digital wristwatch having a square dial as shown in FIG. 11 (a), a seal 15 having a form as shown in FIG. As for the article 40 composed of a digital wristwatch having an elliptical dial as shown in FIG. 11 (b), a seal 16 having a form as shown in FIG. 12 (b) may be prepared.

As described above, when a plurality of articles and a plurality of seals are prepared, the control unit 200 prints a seal corresponding to the selected article based on an article selection instruction given from the outside. And a function to give an instruction to the payout unit so that the selected article is paid out. For example, when the three types of articles 20, 30, 40 and the three types of seals 10, 15, 16 as described above are prepared, the control unit 200 first issues an instruction for selecting an item by the user to the operation panel 120. To be accepted via For example, when an article selection instruction for selecting the article 30 (digital wristwatch having a square dial) is given by the user, printing is performed on the sticker 15 (FIG. 12) corresponding to the article 30. Thus, an instruction may be given to the printing unit 220 and subsequently, an instruction may be given to the article payout unit 152 so that the article 30 is paid out.

Although all of the above-described wristwatches are digital wristwatches, analog wristwatches can be used as articles. For example, an article 50 shown in FIG. 13 is an analog wristwatch in which a long hand 53 and a short hand 54 are supported by a rotating shaft 52 protruding above a dial 51. For such an article 50, for example, a seal 17 as shown in FIG. 14 may be used. The seal piece 18 arranged on the seal 17 is cut in a circular shape along the contour of the dial 51, and is provided with slits SL1 and SL2 for passing the rotary shaft 52 therethrough. Such a seal piece 18 is prepared, placed on the dial 51 so that the slit SL2 passes through the rotary shaft 52, and pasted at a position where the slit SL1 finally comes to the position of the rotary shaft 52. Just do it.

Of course, not only watches but also pocket watches can be used as the articles to be sold. In addition, articles other than watches can be used. For example, if a broach or pendant is used as an item to be sold and a seal suitable for sticking on either side of the brooch or pendant is prepared, the user can make a custom brooch or pendant. You will be able to buy pendants.

Finally, an example of a processing procedure of the control unit 200 when a plurality of articles and a plurality of seals are prepared will be described based on a flowchart of FIG. In order for the control unit 200 to perform such a processing procedure, a program corresponding to the processing procedure may be prepared in advance.

First, when the power to the article vending machine is turned on, a process of presenting a demonstration screen is performed in step S1. That is, some demonstration video is played on the display 110. The process of presenting the demonstration screen is repeated until the insertion of a coin is detected in step S2. When the user inserts a predetermined coin into the money insertion unit 130, the process proceeds from step S2 to step S3, and an article selection screen is presented. That is, images of a plurality of types of articles prepared in the article storage unit 230 are displayed on the display 110, and the user operates the operation panel 120 to give an instruction to select any one of the articles. You will be prompted to enter. When the user performs an operation to select one of the articles, the article selection instruction is input to the control unit 200 in step S4. Then, in step S5, an image capture instruction is issued to the image input unit 140. At this time, an image capturing process suitable for the selected article is performed. For example, when an article 40 having an elliptical dial is selected, an image having an aspect ratio suitable for the elliptical dial is captured.

In the next step S 6, an instruction to present the captured image is given to the display 110, and subsequently, the user is prompted for a confirmation input. At this time, if necessary, the user can desire to re-capture the image, and when re-capturing, the process from step S5 is repeatedly executed. When the user makes the final confirmation, the process proceeds to step S8, and a print instruction for the sticker corresponding to the selected article is issued to the printing unit 220. The printing unit 220 extracts a seal suitable for the selected article from a plurality of types of seals stored in the seal storage unit 210, and prints the captured image on the seal. Subsequently, in step S9, an instruction to pay out the printed sticker is issued to the seal payout unit 151, and an instruction to pay out the selected article is issued to the article payout unit 152. Thus, the user can obtain the selected article and the sticker to be attached thereto.
