Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vending machine, and more particularly to a vending machine that expands an account display by denomination and total amount of money that has been input.
[0002]
[Prior art]
An automatic ticket vending machine in which an account selection button for displaying a fare that varies depending on the boarding distance (number of wards) with a 7-segment LED (see FIG. 8) is arranged on the customer service surface. Numbers from 0 to 9 are displayed by the combination of blinking of the 7 segments of the LED, and when the user presses the account selection button, an account is selected and a ticket or the like corresponding to the account is sold. In addition, an automatic ticket vending machine that displays an account by a combination of an LCD and a touch panel, makes a user make a selection by touching a display location, and sells a ticket or the like has also appeared.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional automatic ticket vending machine as described above, there is a problem that it is difficult to read the fare display of the account displayed by the 7-segment LED. In particular, in the case of presbyopia, it is often impossible to read the fare displayed in the account, which is a big problem from the viewpoint of protecting the weak.
[0004]
On the other hand, a fare display combining an LCD and a touch panel is also difficult to read. In this combination of fare display accounts, simply placing an account in the same way as the 7-segment selection button will naturally cause the fare display on the account to be sufficiently large due to the number of accounts that must be placed. Because there is a limit.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a vending machine capable of clearly reading an account display even for a visually impaired person and purchasing a product of a desired account.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the vending machine according to the first aspect of the invention comprises, as shown in FIG. 1, total amount calculation means 15 for calculating the total amount of money inserted to purchase a product; Account display means 25 for displaying an account corresponding to a product; account definition means 21 for defining a predetermined account based on the calculated total amount of money; and the defined account larger than the displayed account Account enlargement display means 26 is provided for enlarging and displaying.
[0007]
If comprised in this way, since the total amount calculation means, the account display means, the account demarcation means, and the account expansion display means are provided, the total amount of money input by the user is calculated, and a predetermined amount is calculated based on the calculated total amount. Account, for example, an account of a product presumed to be purchased by the user can be defined, and the defined account can be enlarged and displayed by the account enlargement display means. Therefore, even a person with weak eyesight can read an account, and can easily select a desired account and purchase a product. Purchasing merchandise includes receiving services and purchasing vouchers in exchange for services. The account corresponding to the product is displayed, and the account defined at the same time may be enlarged.
[0008]
The vending machine according to the invention according to the second aspect is the vending machine according to the first aspect , comprising reverse exchange calculating means for reversely changing the money and calculating a reverse exchange number for each denomination; The account delimiting means is further configured to demarcate a predetermined account based on the reverse exchange number.
[0009]
If comprised in this way, since the reverse exchange calculating means is provided, the money inserted by the user is reverse exchanged, the reverse exchange number for each denomination is calculated, and the account delimiting means is based on the reverse exchange number. Is defined. If the user does not have a denomination of money, and the user wants to reduce the number of money on hand, a denomination of a lower denomination may be inserted instead. Even in these cases, it can be handled in the same manner as when a certain denomination is input, and a predetermined account can be defined. For example, when one hundred-yen coin is insufficient and two 50-yen coins are substituted, it can be handled in the same manner as when one hundred-yen coin is inserted.
[0010]
Here, reverse exchange refers to the allocation of the number of denominations handled by the vending machine based on the total amount of money input, and the total amount of each denomination after allocation is the money of the higher denomination. This is to do so as not to reach the amount of one sheet. The reverse exchange number refers to the number of denominations assigned in this way.
[0011]
The vending machine according to the third aspect of the present invention is the vending machine according to the second aspect , wherein the account demarcation means sets the total amount to T yen, and the maximum amount of the denominated money denomination Is P yen, the reverse exchange number of the highest denomination is X, and the reverse exchanged money is only the highest denomination, it exceeds P × (X-1) yen, When the predetermined account is configured to be an account of Yen or less, and the reverse-exchanged currency includes denominations other than the maximum amount, the account exceeding P × X and T It is comprised so that it may become a predetermined account.
[0012]
Since the account demarcation means is configured in this way, reverse conversion is performed from the total amount of money T-yen inserted by the user, and only the denomination of the highest denomination of P-yen is inserted, and the number of coins is considered to be X. If the amount of the purchased product account is Q yen, it can be estimated that P × (X−1) <Q ≦ T (T = P × X). When it is possible to think that by inserting X pieces of money of the highest denomination of P yen and including denominations other than the highest amount by reverse exchange calculation, it can be assumed that P × X <Q ≦ T. Therefore, an account within these ranges can be set as a predetermined account and displayed in an enlarged manner.
[0013]
For example, when one hundred-yen coin and two fifty-yen coins are inserted, if the account is configured as shown in FIG. 2, the predetermined account is an account included in 101 to 200 yen, That is, it is an account of 120, 130, 150, 170, 190, 200 yen. If two hundred-yen coins, one fifty-yen coin, and four ten-yen coins are inserted, the predetermined account is an account included in 201 yen to 290 yen, that is, 230, 240, 270, 280. It is an account of 290 yen. If three hundred-yen coins are inserted, the accounts are included in 201 to 300 yen, that is, 230, 240, 270, 280, and 290 yen.
[0014]
The vending machine according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is the vending machine according to the first aspect , wherein the account delimiting means has the total amount as an upper limit, and a predetermined number of accounts as the predetermined account. Is configured to do.
[0015]
Typically, the predetermined number of accounts may be the number of accounts that can be displayed simultaneously by the account expansion display means. It is desirable to define the accounts in a sequence of accounts so that no accounts are skipped and not displayed. Further, when the number of accounts is determined in advance, the number of accounts may be counted in increments of one predetermined currency in circulation, and the maximum number may be set as a predetermined number. That is, for example, the number of accounts may be counted in increments of 100 yen or in increments of 1000 yen, and the maximum number may be a predetermined number.
[0016]
Vending machine according to the invention according to the fifth aspect, in the automatic vending machine according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect to fourth aspect, the magnified and displayed for a predetermined time without being account selected It is configured to be done when elapses.
[0017]
If the account is not selected by the user by a predetermined time, it is assumed that the user cannot clearly see the displayed account, and the account is enlarged.
[0018]
Vending machine according to the invention according to a sixth embodiment of an automatic vending machine according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect to fifth aspect, it comprises the actuating button for actuating the account enlarge display means.
[0019]
Since the operation button is provided, the account can be enlarged and displayed by the user's positive will. When the user wants to enlarge the display, the account enlargement display means can be operated at any time and immediately by the operation button. A user with weak vision can know the presence of the activation button by receiving the instruction for use, and can enlarge the display when necessary. The enlarged display of the account may be performed by preparing a special frame screen for enlarged display, or may be performed on a normal account display screen.
[0020]
Vending machine according to the invention according to claim 7, in vending machines according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect to the sixth aspect, the enlarged display is not required to be continuously displayed, other It is constituted to be displayed instead of the display.
[0021]
Since it is configured in this way, a part of the account display by the account display means provided for displaying the account can be displayed instead of the enlarged display by the account enlargement display means, and the account display screen And a screen for enlarging the account can be shared. Other indications that do not need to be displayed on a continuous basis may be, for example, information such as “Please touch the amount you are looking for ...” or an account that is not supposed to be a purchase account. It may be a displayed part (for example, the account display of the lower two lines on the high-value side when a small amount of money is inserted).
[0022]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the mutually same or equivalent member, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.
[0023]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a vending machine 1 as a vending machine according to the present invention. The automatic ticket vending machine 1 sells a ticket as a product (not shown). The automatic ticket vending machine 1 sends a money insertion slot 11 into which a user inserts money (banknotes, coins), a money processing device 12 for processing the inserted money, and change (banknotes, coins) to the user. And a money delivery outlet 13 to be returned.
[0024]
The automatic ticket vending machine 1 further includes a ticket issuing device 19 for issuing a ticket and a ticket discharge port 20 for releasing the issued ticket to the user, and an account delimiting means 21 for demarcating an account from the total amount of money inserted. And a display means 25 as an account display means for displaying an account on the customer service display unit 17 and further displaying a guidance sentence, and an account expansion display means 26 for displaying the account on the customer service display unit 17 in an enlarged manner. The automatic ticket vending machine 1 further controls the money processing device 12, the customer service display unit 17, the ticket issuing device 19, the account delimiting means 21, the account display means 25, and the account expansion display means 26. Is provided. The main control device 2 includes a total amount calculation unit 15 as a total amount calculation unit that calculates the total amount of money, and a reverse exchange calculation unit 16 as a reverse exchange calculation unit that performs a reverse exchange calculation from the total amount of money.
[0025]
The money inserted into the money insertion slot 11 is sent to the money handling apparatus 12, and the money handling apparatus 12 identifies the denomination. Money with a denomination identified is further sorted and stored by denomination. Information on the denomination of money recognized by the money handling apparatus 12 is sent from the money handling apparatus 12 to the total amount calculation unit 15 of the main controller 2 for each sheet. The total amount calculation unit 15 counts the number of denominations for each denomination based on the information on the denomination of each currency, and calculates the total amount of money inserted. The reverse exchange calculation unit 16 performs a reverse exchange calculation based on the total amount of inserted money calculated by the total amount calculation unit 15. The reverse exchange calculation unit 16 also calculates the number of reverse exchanges during the reverse exchange calculation. The reverse exchange calculation and the reverse exchange number will be described later.
[0026]
The customer service display unit 17 is divided into a first display unit 23 and a second display unit 24. The first display unit 23, the display unit 25, an account corresponding to the ticket being released is displayed. The second display unit 24, the display unit 25 displays the guidance statement information concerning how to purchase tickets, the account enlarged display means 26 to switch the screen as described below, to expand a predetermined account Is displayed. The account expansion display means 26 may display the account on the first display unit 23 in an enlarged manner without switching the screen of the second display unit 24 and performing the expansion display of the account on the second display unit 24.
[0027]
Both the 1st display part 23 and the 2nd display part 24 are comprised with the touch panel. Since the contacted account is selected when the user contacts the account portion displayed on the first display unit 23, the portion where the account on the touch panel is displayed functions as an account selection button. Therefore, the 1st display part 23 has account selection button A1-A17. For convenience of space in the figure, only the account selection buttons A1, A2, A17 are displayed.
[0028]
Similarly, in the case of the second display unit 24, after switching the screen, the predetermined account is enlarged and displayed in an enlarged manner from the account displayed on the first display unit 23, and the user is displayed on the enlarged account portion. Since the contacted account is selected by the contact, the portion where the account is displayed serves as an account selection button. Therefore, the 2nd display part 24 has account selection button B1-B17. Only account selection buttons B1, B2, and B17 are displayed for the sake of space in the figure. The account selection buttons B1 to B17 correspond to the account selection buttons A1 to A17, respectively, and are enlarged and displayed.
[0029]
With reference to FIG. 2, the structure of the customer service display part 17 is demonstrated in detail. Normally, as shown in the figure, accounts are arranged in six columns and four rows on the first display section 23 by the display means 25 (see FIG. 1). Since the account is selected if the user touches the location where the account is displayed with a finger, the account display location is also the account selection buttons A1 to A17. The sign of the account selection button is A1, 120 yen is A1, 230 yen is A7, 330 yen is A13, the number increases as it goes to the right in the figure, 200 yen is A6, 310 yen The thing is A12, the thing of 410 yen is A16, and the admission ticket (120 yen) is A17. In order to avoid complexity, only A1, A6, A7, A12, A13, A16, and A17 are illustrated (the same applies to FIGS. 3 and 4 below).
[0030]
Here, for example, if 200 yen is inserted into the money slot 11 (see FIG. 1), 200 yen is displayed on an unillustrated deposit indicator, and an account can be selected. Here, the display mode of the account up to 200 yen is changed by the display means 25 (for example, the display is reversed so that the numbers displayed in black become white numbers). You can select up to a circle. The second display unit 24 normally displays a guidance text for the user by the display means 25.
[0031]
As shown in FIG. 3, when a predetermined time elapses after the money is inserted without selecting an account, the account expansion display means 26 (see FIG. 1) turns off the display of the guidance text on the second display unit 24, An account defined as described later is enlarged and displayed in a portion allocated to display the account in an enlarged manner. As described above, since the account is selected when the user touches the location where the expanded account is displayed with a finger, the account display location is also the account selection buttons B1 to B17. The amount of money is the same when the number part of the sign of the account selection buttons B1 to B17 is the same as the number part of the sign of the account selection buttons A1 to A17. When enlarged, the user may select one of the account selection buttons A1 to A6 for accounts up to 200 yen on the first display unit 23 whose display mode has already been changed, or the second display. Any of the account selection buttons B1 to B6 for accounts up to 200 yen that are enlarged and displayed in the section 24 may be selected.
[0032]
Even if the display is enlarged on the second display unit 24, the display means 25 (see FIG. 1) continues to display the account already displayed on the first display unit 23 without erasing it. This is to prevent the user from being confused due to the display being changed in the middle of selecting the account found on the first display unit 23. The enlarged display on the second display unit 24 by the account enlargement display means 26 defines an account estimated to be selected by the user as described later, and a user with low vision selects the desired account. This is to make it easier to do.
[0033]
According to the present embodiment, there is no account of 100 yen or less, but even if there is an account of 100 yen or less, 100 yen is not enlarged and accounts from 120 yen to 200 yen are not displayed. It is desirable to enlarge. This is because the space that can be displayed in an enlarged manner is limited, and it is considered sufficient to predict the range of account selection in increments of 100 yen and display the enlarged image in the predicted width.
[0034]
Also, as shown in FIG. 4, when 150 yen is inserted and a predetermined time elapses after the insertion, an account from 120 to 150 yen is defined, and the second display unit is displayed by the account enlargement display means 26 (see FIG. 1). 24 may be enlarged and displayed. This is because the number of accounts presumed to be selected by the user is smaller than when 200 yen is inserted, and a larger number can be displayed.
[0035]
As shown in FIG. 5, the account expansion display means 26 (see FIG. 1) does not erase the display of the guidance text on the second display unit 24 and displays the account in an enlarged manner, but the lower two lines of the first display unit 23. May be erased and displayed enlarged in the erased space. In this case, the display means 25 (see FIG. 1) can continue to display the guidance text on the second display unit 24. In addition, when the user desires an enlarged display, an operation button 22 may be provided that causes the account enlargement display means 26 (see FIG. 1) to perform an enlarged display when pressed (actuated). The operation button 22 can be pressed to enlarge the display without waiting for a predetermined time.
[0036]
When only one 500-yen coin, thousand-yen bill, five-thousand-yen bill, or ten-thousand-yen bill is inserted, it is inserted on the assumption that change is released, and there are many accounts that users are likely to purchase. Because it is too much, the enlarged display of the account is not performed.
[0037]
The operation of the automatic ticket vending machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
It is determined whether or not money has been inserted into the money slot 11 (step S1). When money is inserted (when step S1 is YES), the denomination of money type is determined by the money processing device 12 (see FIG. 1), the total amount is calculated by the total amount calculation unit 15, and the reverse exchange calculation is performed by the reverse exchange calculation unit 16. (Step S2). Based on the calculated total amount and the result of the reverse exchange calculation, account demarcation by the account demarcation means 21 and account display on the first display unit 23 (see FIG. 1) are performed (step S3). At the same time, the total amount is displayed on a charge indicator (not shown) (not shown).
[0038]
Next, it is determined whether or not an account has been selected (step S4). If no account has been selected (in the case of NO), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the insertion of money (step S4). S5). For example, the predetermined time may be about 5 to 10 seconds. If it is too short, it will be displayed while the user is still trying to put in the next currency, and if it is too long, it will be forcibly purchased with a small display, resulting in a push error.
[0039]
If the predetermined time has not elapsed (in the case of NO), it is determined again whether or not an account is selected (step S4). If the predetermined time has elapsed (in the case of YES), an enlarged display of the account defined on the second display unit 24 (see FIG. 1) is performed assuming that the user is taking time to select the account (step S6). For this reason, the user can easily select an account. Thereafter, it is determined again whether or not an account has been selected (step S4). When an account is selected (in the case of YES), a change is calculated (step S7), a ticket is discharged to the ticket outlet 20, and a change is discharged to the money outlet 13 (step S8). ,finish.
[0040]
Next, a method for performing a reverse exchange calculation based on the total amount of money inserted will be described. Inverse exchange calculation is the allocation of the number of denominations handled by the automatic ticket vending machine 1 based on the total amount of money inserted, and the total amount of each denomination after allocation is the money of the higher denomination. This is to do so as not to reach the amount of one sheet. That is, allocation is performed so that a maximum of four ten-yen coins, one hundred-yen coins, and one thousand yen bills are allocated, and a maximum of one fifty-yen coin, five hundred-yen coins, and five thousand-yen bills. The automatic ticket machine 1 does not handle 1-yen coins or 5-yen coins. The reverse exchange number refers to the number of denominations assigned in this way. Moreover, when the total amount of money of a certain denomination is equal to or exceeds the amount of one of the higher money among the inserted money, a reverse exchange operation is performed. If the total amount of money of each denomination does not reach the amount of one of the more expensive money, the reverse exchange operation is not performed and the number of each denomination is reversed for each denomination. The number of money exchanged.
[0041]
For example, if five 50-yen coins are inserted and the total amount is 250 yen, the total amount of 50-yen coins is 250 yen, which exceeds the amount of one hundred-yen coin, which is higher than the 50-yen coin. Perform reverse exchange calculation. As a result of the reverse exchange calculation, two hundred yen coins and one fifty-yen coin are one piece, two hundred yen coins are two reverse-exchange pieces, and one fifty-yen coin is one piece. When 17 ten-yen coins are inserted and the total amount is 170 yen, the total amount of ten-yen coins exceeds the amount of one fifty-yen coin, which is a higher amount of money, and therefore a reverse exchange operation is performed. The result of the reverse exchange calculation is one hundred-yen coin, one fifty-yen coin, and two ten-yen coins.
[0042]
Next, the operation of the account demarcation means 21 demarcating an account based on the total amount of money inserted will be described. First, based on the total amount T of the inserted money, the reverse exchange calculation is performed as described above. The following explanation will be given on the assumption that a ticket for 120 yen or more will be released. On the condition that two or more coins are inserted, if the amount is reversed to P yen, Q yen, R yen in order from the largest amount, and the number of each is X, Y, Z, T = P × X + Q × Y + R × Z is established. Here, Q> R × Z and P> Q × Y.
[0043]
(1) When Y ≠ 0 or Z ≠ 0, accounts in the range of more than P × X yen and less than or equal to T yen are enlarged.
{Circle around (2)} When Y = 0 and Z = 0, an account in a range exceeding P × (X−1) yen and below T yen (= P × X yen) is enlarged.
If one of a 500-yen coin, a thousand-yen bill, a five-thousand-yen bill, or a 10,000-yen bill is inserted, the enlarged display is not performed. This is because the number of accounts that will be inserted and defined on the premise of change change is too large.
[0044]
With reference to FIG. 7, the method of defining the above-mentioned account is demonstrated concretely. Assume that the denominations are limited to 100 yen coins, 50 yen coins, and 10 yen coins. In Example 1, two hundred-yen coins and a total of 200 yen, in Example 2, one hundred-yen coin and one fifty-yen coin, total 150 yen, in Example 3, one hundred-yen coin, Suppose that two 10-yen coins are inserted so that the total amount is 200 yen. Only Example 3 performs the reverse exchange calculation, and the reverse exchange calculation result is two hundred yen coins. In Example 1 and Example 2, the number of input of each denomination is the reverse exchange number of each denomination.
[0045]
In the case of Example 1, since Y = 0 and Z = 0, (2) is applied. Since X = 2, 100 yen × (2-1) = exceeding 100 yen and not exceeding 200 yen, that is, accounts included in the range of 120 yen to 200 yen as shown in FIG. 3 (120 yen, 130 yen) , 150 yen, 170 yen, 190 yen, and 200 yen accounts), and enlarged display on the second display unit 24. The admission ticket fee is 120 yen, but the admission ticket account is not enlarged.
[0046]
In the case of Example 2, since Y = 1 (Y ≠ 0), (1) is applied. Since X = 1, an account (120 yen, 130 yen, 150 yen) included in the range of 100 yen x 1 = 100 yen and 150 yen or less, that is, in the range of 120 yen to 150 yen as shown in FIG. The image is demarcated and enlarged and displayed on the second display unit 24.
[0047]
In the case of Example 3, assuming that the number of hundred yen coins, fifty yen coins, and ten yen coins inserted is X ₀ , Y ₀ , and Z ₀ , respectively, X ₀ = 1, Y ₀ = 2 and Z ₀ = 0. Yes, since the total amount of 50-yen coins is equal to the amount of one hundred-yen coin, a reverse exchange operation is performed. When reverse exchange calculation is performed, X = 2, Y = 0, and Z = 0. Therefore, by applying the above-mentioned item (2), an account (120 which exceeds 100 yen × (2-1) = 100 yen and is not more than 200 yen, that is, an account included in the range of 120 to 200 yen as shown in FIG. Yen, 130 yen, 150 yen, 170 yen, 190 yen, and 200 yen accounts) are defined and displayed on the second display unit 24 in an enlarged manner.
[0048]
The account defining means 21 may be configured to define an account as follows.
As shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that account charges are configured. If the number of accounts is counted in increments of 100 yen, the maximum is 6 accounts, and it can be considered that displaying 6 accounts is sufficient. By paying attention to this, six accounts that can be purchased with the total amount of input money may be demarcated in descending order of charge, and may be enlarged and displayed on the second display unit 24. Even in this case, even a user with weak eyesight can easily select an account.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, since the account demarcation means and the account expansion display means are provided, it is possible to demarcate a predetermined account based on the total amount of money inserted, and to enlarge the demarcated account. Therefore, it becomes easy for the user to visually recognize the account, and the account can be easily selected.
