Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vending machine, and more particularly, to a vending machine designed to promote sales of commodities.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A wide variety of vending machines that sell products desired by users according to the input of money, such as beverages and cigarettes, have been developed. Ease of product purchase, ease of management, and a small footprint It is widely used in various places for reasons such as reducing labor costs required for sales.
[0003]
However, it is difficult for vending machines to clearly differentiate from other vending machines in order to promote the sale of products. Use any of the vending machines that sell similar products. The reality is that it depends on the user's unilateral reason.
[0004]
For this reason, various systems for promoting sales of products have been provided in systems for selling products through vending machines. For example, a system (hereinafter simply referred to as the first system) that collects a predetermined number of application stickers affixed to a product or chips that are paid out when the product is sold and sends it to a gift provider (hereinafter simply referred to as a first gift). When a magnetic card for a vending machine is issued and points are sequentially added to the magnetic card according to the sales of products at the vending machine, and the accumulated points reach a predetermined value This is a system that can be exchanged for a prize (hereinafter simply referred to as a second point collection system).
[0005]
According to these first and second point collection systems, since the purchase of the product becomes a free gift and is returned to the user, it is possible to promote the sales of the product compared to those not using them. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
[0006]

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-3059
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the first point collection system, the user must not only collect a large number of application stickers, but also paste the collected application stickers on the application form and send them to the prize provider. For example, the user is forced to perform complicated work. Further, processing such as counting application stickers must be performed for each of a large number of application sheets sent, and further, prizes must be sent out, which makes the work of the prize provider extremely complicated.
[0008]
On the other hand, in the second point collection system, points are sequentially added to the magnetic card, so that it is not necessary for the user to paste the collected application sticker on the application form and send it.
[0009]
However, in the second point collection system, when a magnetic card is not carried, a large number of magnetic cards having no collection value are stored in the second point collection system, which is not necessarily convenient for the user. In addition, for the giver, the gift must be sent to the user whose accumulated points of the magnetic card have reached a predetermined value, and it is not freed from complicated work.
[0010]
Incidentally, in recent years, when a product is sold at a general store, sales promotion is attempted by directly attaching a prize having a collection value to the product. According to such a system, it is not necessary for the prize provider to check the number of points and send out the prize, so that the above-described problem can be solved. However, in the vending machine, due to its structure, it is difficult to directly sell the product with a free gift, which may lead to problems such as product clogging.
[0011]
In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a vending machine capable of promoting sales of products without forcing both users and premium providers to perform complicated operations.
[0012]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to achieve the above object, a vending machine according to claim 1 of the present invention provides:Self-sale that collects multiple types of freebie coins that have a collection value and are configured in the same size as common coins, and selectively pays out the multiple types of freebie coins when the product is sold In the machine, the setting means to set the probability of paying out individual premium coins, and the accepted coins are individually stored, while if the accepted coins exceed the sales product amount, the difference is used as the change The payout coin processing device to be paid out and the common coin processing device are separately provided and individually store a plurality of types of prize coins, while the goods are sold, the prize coins selected according to the probability of the setting means The present invention is characterized in that a premium coin processing device is provided.

[0049]
The premium payout control unit 83 mainly controls operations related to payout of premium coins based on a control signal given from the main control unit 81. Under the control of the prize payout control unit 83, in addition to the above-described prize coin processing device 90, a random number extraction unit 84 and a payout prize selection unit 85 are included.
[0050]
The random number extraction unit 84 is a part that performs random number extraction processing when an extraction command is given from the main control unit 81 through the prize payout control unit 83. The extraction result of the random number extraction unit 84 is given to the prize payout control unit 83.
[0051]
The payout prize selection unit 85, when the extraction result of the random number extraction unit 84 and the payout probability set by the terminal input device 70 are given through the prize payout control unit 83, the type of the prize coin to be paid out based on these. It is for determining.
[0052]
FIG. 4 shows an example of setting the payout probability of premium coins input by the terminal input device 70 described above. In this example 1, the payout probabilities of the premium coin A, the premium coin B, the premium coin C, and the premium coin D are set to 75%, 15%, 7%, and 3%, respectively. The payout probability is preferably set to be inversely proportional to the superiority or inferiority of the color, material, and design set for each premium coin. That is, it is preferable to set the payout probability lower as the gift coins are more sophisticated in color, material, and design. Further, as in Example 2, it is possible to add an item of not paying out and to lower the payout probability of the prize.
[0053]
As a method for determining the type of prize coin to be paid out by the payout prize selection unit 85 from the payout probability, for example, if the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit 84 is 100 kinds of integers from 0 to 99, the extraction result is as follows. If there are 75 kinds of 0-74, prize coin A, if it is 5 kinds of 75-89, prize coin B, if the random value is 7 kinds of 90-96, prize coin C, 97-99 3 In the case of a seed, the prize coin D may be selected.
[0054]
5 to 7 are flowcharts showing the processing contents executed by the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 described above at the time of merchandise sales. Hereinafter, the operation in the case of selling products in the vending machine 1 will be described with reference to these drawings. It is assumed that common coins to be paid out as change are stored in the currency storage unit 53 of the general coin processing device 50 in advance. Also, it is assumed that the prize coins A, the prize coins B, the prize coins C, and the prize coins D are sufficiently stored in the prize storage unit 91 of the prize coin processing device 90 in advance.
[0055]
First, when the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 is in a sales standby state, as shown in FIG. 5, it constantly monitors whether or not there is a purchase request for a product by a user (step S101). . The product purchase request by the user refers to, for example, a case where a common banknote is inserted into the banknote insertion slot 23 or a case where a common coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 24.
[0056]
In step S <b> 101, when the user inserts a banknote into the banknote insertion slot 23 and the detection signal of the banknote processing device 40 is given through the sales operation control unit 82, or the user inserts a coin into the coin insertion slot 24. When the detection signal of the common coin processing device 50 is given through the sales operation control unit 82, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 performs a product sales process (step S200).
[0057]
As shown in FIG. 6, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 in the merchandise sales process performed in step S <b> 200 first selects the sorting result by the general banknote processing device 40 or the general coin processing device through the sales operation control unit 82. The sorting result by 50 is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the inserted currency is regular (step S201).
[0058]
If it is not possible to sort out the accepted currency as genuine, a refund instruction is sent to the accepted banknote processing device 40 or the accepted coin processing device 50 through the sales operation control unit 82 (step S207). As a result, the general banknotes inserted into the general banknote processing device 40 are returned to the user from the banknote insertion slot 23, or the general coins input into the general coin processing apparatus 50 are paid out to the currency discharging unit 56, A common coin is returned from the coin return port 27 to the user. Thereafter, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 returns the procedure without going through the processing described later.
[0059]
On the other hand, when it is determined that the inserted currency is legitimate, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 sells the sales operation control unit 82 when the deposit amount becomes equal to or greater than the merchandise sales amount. Then, the operation units 22 and 25 are validated through (step S202, step S203), and then the operation input of the user is awaited (step S204, step S205).
[0060]
When a cancel request is given from this waiting state for operation input, that is, when the user operates the return lever 25 and the operation signal is given through the sales operation control unit 82, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 Invalidates the operation units 22 and 25 through the sales operation control unit 82 (step S206), and further sends a refund command to the general banknote processing device 40 or the general coin processing device 50 through the sales operation control unit 82 (step S207). ). As a result, the general banknotes inserted into the general banknote processing device 40 are returned to the user from the banknote insertion slot 23, or the general coins input into the general coin processing apparatus 50 are paid out to the currency discharging unit 56, A common coin is returned from the coin return port 27 to the user. Thereafter, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 returns the procedure without going through the processing described later.
[0061]
On the other hand, when a product is selected from a state waiting for an operation input, that is, when the user operates the selection button 22 and the operation signal is given through the sales operation control unit 82, the main control of the vending machine 1 is performed. The unit 81 invalidates the operation units 22 and 25 through the sales operation control unit 82 (step S208), and then sells the selected product from the product storage device 30 to the product storage device 30 through the sales operation control unit 82. A command is given (step S209). As a result, the product paid out from the product storage device 30 is guided through the shooter 31, and the product can be taken out from the product take-out port 28.
[0062]
Next, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 compares the deposit amount with the sale merchandise amount (step S210). If the deposit amount is large, the difference amount is transferred to the common coin processing device 50 through the sales operation control unit 82. A common coin, that is, a change payout command is sent (step S211), and then the procedure is returned. As a result, the currency dispensing unit 55 of the universal coin processing device 50 operates appropriately, and the universal coin corresponding to the amount of change is paid out to the currency discharge unit 56, and the change can be taken out from the coin return port 27. It becomes possible.
[0063]
As shown in FIG. 5, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 that has finished the product sales process determines whether or not the product has been sold in the immediately preceding product sales process (step S102). When the product is not sold in the product sales process, that is, when it is not determined that the currency is legitimate, or when a cancel request is given by the user by operating the return lever 25, the vending machine 1 The main control unit 81 ends the current procedure without going through a process described later.
[0064]
On the other hand, when a product is sold in the product sales process, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 performs a premium payout process (step S300), and then ends the current procedure.
[0065]
As shown in FIG. 7, the main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 first reads out the information set by the terminal input device 70 from the memory 80 as well as the prize payout in the prize payout process performed in step S300. A random number is extracted by operating the random number extraction unit 84 through the control unit 83 (step S301).
[0066]
The main control unit 81 of the vending machine 1 that has acquired the payout probability included in the read setting information and the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit 84 sends them to the payout premium selection unit 85 through the premium payout control unit 83. Then, a prize to be paid out is selected (step S302). After the prize to be paid out is determined, a prize payout command is sent to the prize payout section 92 of the prize coin processing device 90 through the prize payout control section 83 (step S303), and then the procedure is returned. As a result, the prize dispensing unit 92 of the prize coin processing apparatus 90 operates as appropriate, and the prize coin selected in step S302 is dispensed to the prize discharging unit 93, and the dispensed coin is used through the coin return port 27. It will be given to the person.
[0067]
As described above, according to the vending machine 1, since the purchase of the product is returned to the user in the form of a premium coin, it is possible to promote the sales of the product. In addition, the prize coins paid out from the vending machine 1 are configured so that they have a collection value. Therefore, it is sufficient for the user to collect this directly, and it is not necessary to collect a large number and send it to the gift provider as before. On the other hand, since it is not necessary for the gift provider to check what has been sent or to send out the gift, no complicated work is required.
[0068]
Furthermore, according to the vending machine 1, since a plurality of types of premium coins are selectively paid out, there is no way for the user to know in advance what kind of premium coins will be paid out. For this reason, it becomes possible to stimulate the user's euphoria or give the user a game sensation, which leads to sales promotion of the product.
[0069]
Furthermore, according to the vending machine 1, it is possible to arbitrarily set the probability of paying out premium coins. As in the embodiment, the prize coins have a rarity by giving a difference in the probability. It comes to occur. The rarity of the free gift coins significantly stimulates the user's desire to collect, that is, the purchase desire of the product, and the sales promotion of the product becomes more remarkable.
[0070]
In addition, since the prize coin has the same shape as the universal coin upon introduction, the universal coin processing apparatus 50 can be applied as the premium coin processing apparatus 90 as it is, and the vending machine 1 is greatly modified. There is no need to apply. Furthermore, since the free coin processing device 90 is provided separately from the common coin processing device 50, the common coin processing device 50 does not frequently invite out of change, and the sales opportunity of goods due to the out of change. There will be no frequent occurrences of loss.
[0071]
In addition, in embodiment mentioned above, although the vending machine 1 for selling especially a drink is illustrated, of course, it is possible to apply also to what sells other goods.
[0072]
Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, a metal free gift coin having a coin shape of the same size as a general coin is illustrated as a free gift. However, as long as it is configured to have a collection value, other You may make it give out the prize which consists of a shape and material. In addition, in the embodiment described above when applying coin-shaped giveaways, examples are given that have the same dimensions as Japanese common coins. For example, coins having the same dimensions as overseas common coins It may be a foreign currency coin itself.
[0073]
Further, in the embodiment described above, the type is determined based on a preset payout probability and a random value extracted every time the product is sold when paying out a prize, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. It is not something. For example, a prize to be paid out may be selected according to the sales time of the product, or a prize to be paid out may be selected according to the sales conditions of the product. As the product sales conditions, for example, various types such as the type of product, the number of products sold, the sales order of products, and the like can be applied. Incidentally, the specific numerical values in the embodiment used for random number extraction are merely for illustrative purposes, and other numerical values may be used.
[0074]
【The invention's effect】
  As described above, according to the vending machine according to claim 1 of the present invention, the purchase of a product can be performed on the spot.Giveaway coinsSince this is returned to the user, it becomes possible to promote sales of the product. Moreover, it is paid out from the vending machine.Giveaway coinsIs configured to have its own collection value. Therefore, it is sufficient for the user to collect this directly, and it is not necessary to collect a large number and send it to the gift provider as before. On the other hand, since it is not necessary for the gift provider to check what has been sent or to send out the gift, no complicated work is required.Also, since a plurality of types of premium coins are selectively paid out, the user has no way of knowing in advance what kind of premium coins will be paid out. For this reason, it becomes possible to stimulate the user's euphoria or give the user a game sensation, leading to sales promotion of the product. In addition, since it is possible to arbitrarily set the probability of paying out premium coins, the prize coins are scarce by giving a difference in the probability. This rarity of prizes stimulates the user's desire to collect, that is, the desire to purchase the product, and the sales promotion of the product becomes even more remarkable. Furthermore, since a coin having a coin shape of the same size as a common coin is applied as a free gift coin, a universal coin processing device called a so-called coin mechanism can be applied as it is, and for a vending machine There is no need to make major modifications. In addition, since the prize coin processing device is provided separately from the common coin processing device, the change of coins is not frequently invited in the common coin processing device, and the sales opportunity of the product is lost due to the shortage of change. The situation does not occur frequently.
