DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the compound information terminal according to the present invention. Roughly speaking, an input / output device 20, a cash collection device 30, an audio device 40, a security device 50, and a printing device 60 are connected to a bus of the CPU board 10. On the CPU board 10, a memory, an external storage device, and the like are mounted. The input / output devices include a liquid crystal display, a touch panel, an I / O card, a camera, and a memory card R / W (reader / writer). The cash collecting device includes a coin selector for identifying inserted coins (authentication and type), a bill validator, and an Internet connection unit. In order to connect to the Internet, the user needs to access the point database managed on the server in order to leave the change as a point to the server and use the previously deposited points as payment for this service That's why.
[0010] The audio device 40 of FIG. 1 includes a microphone and a speaker. Necessary for creating voices and ringtones. It is also necessary to make a telephone call over the Internet. The security device 50 includes a vibration sensor for emitting a loud alarm when there is a possibility of theft, a human sensor for giving an announcement when a user approaches, and an electromagnetic counter for counting coin insertion. . The printing device 60 includes a mobile phone standby screen, a photo printer for executing printing of an image taken by a camera attached to the mobile phone, and a receipt printer for issuing an evidence slip such as a cash storage.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the standby image printing means according to the present invention. In the configuration shown in FIG. 1, a portion surrounded by a broken line, that is, the CPU board 10, the input / output device 20, the cash collecting device 30, and the printing device 60 constitute this means. If the standby screen of the mobile phone is on the server, the image is downloaded via the Internet connection means and printed by the printing device. When the user wants to print an image stored in the mobile phone of the user, the user can connect the mobile phone via the input / output device 20 and capture the image. It is possible to print on a photo printer of the printing device 60 in a format desired by the user.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the voice / ringtone creating means according to the present invention. The part enclosed by the broken line is relevant. The user creates a voice using his / her own voice using the microphone or speaker of the audio device 40, and can take it into his / her mobile phone via the server. The reason why the processing is performed via the server is that the voice file needs to be processed and used according to each telephone company, telephone maker, model, and the like. To charge this service, it is necessary to cooperate with the cash collection device 30.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the small amount decision means according to the present invention. The part enclosed by the broken line is relevant. The small amount settlement referred to here means, for example, that when a product is purchased from an Internet mail-order company, the payment is executed using this composite information terminal. Payment can be realized after connecting to the server of the storage agent company using the Internet connection means.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the Internet telephone means according to the present invention. The part enclosed by the broken line is relevant. An Internet telephone is a telephone realized by exchanging voice information and image information with a partner using an Internet protocol. The feature is that there is no need to pay a telephone charge to a telephone company by using a constantly connected Internet line. In order to make a fee for making an Internet call using this complex information terminal, cooperation with the cash collection device 30 is required.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an operation part of the complex information terminal according to the present invention during standby. The part enclosed by the broken line relates to this. During standby, a human sensor for preventing theft and obtaining a timing for returning from the sleeping state to the normal operation, an electromagnetic counter for checking the number of coins and the like are operated.
[0016]
[Effect of the invention]
As described above, the present invention has enabled the realization of a printing machine that can easily print a mobile phone standby screen, and the realization of an information terminal that can easily make a voice of a mobile phone, create and use ringtones. In addition, it enabled the realization of an information terminal that makes it easy to make small payments, and an information terminal that makes it easy to make Internet calls. A composite information terminal in which these are combined becomes a useful device due to these synergistic effects. At the place where the compound information terminal is installed, a customer attracting effect can be expected. By combining multiple functions into one, the frequency of use increases compared to dedicated terminals. Since operation and management are performed by a server that is always connected to the Internet, it is possible to centrally manage the sales status in a timely manner, check the usage status of each function, and change the usage frequency over time. Order processing by grasping the remaining number of consumables such as printer paper, printer toner, ink, and the like, and quick response in the event of trouble can be performed. Providing utility value to all generations.
