Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic ticket vending machine, and more particularly to an automatic ticket vending machine that reads information on a specific item printed on a ticket and determines whether or not a combination of specific items corresponds to a set discount.

In recent years, restaurants, restaurants, etc. in government offices, companies, electric railway stations, amusement facilities, etc. have been issued in advance by ticket vending machines to visitors in order to reduce labor costs and increase ticketing efficiency. Often employs a system to perform. In particular, cafeterias, restaurants, and the like are often equipped with automatic ticket vending machines that issue a ticket each time a button is pressed. In addition, there are cases where a set discount is set in which a plurality of items are combined for the purpose of improving the efficiency of cooking and serving customers, and the total price is set lower than purchasing a single item. At this time, if the customer is not aware of the set discount and has purchased a single item with multiple items, if the customer finds the set discount, he / she will not be able to repurchase the ticket, so he will give up or contact the employee for payment. It was necessary to have However, when this occurs during busy periods, not only is it troublesome for employees, but there is a problem that it causes trouble for other customers. In some cases, after a meal, they noticed a set discount.
Patent Document 1 discloses a POS system for receiving orders for single item menus and set menus. That is, a single item menu or a set menu specified in advance can be easily input to the POS terminal upon hearing the customer's request. If it is not a combination of menus specified in advance, an error occurs and the item is handled as a single item.

JP 2003-132440 A

However, the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 is ordered as a single item unless the customer orders it as a set menu. There is a case where a clerk operating the POS terminal may notice, but there is a problem that there is no certainty.
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and is an automatic ticket vending machine provided with a reading device that issues a ticket on which specific item information is recorded and reads the specific item information recorded on the ticket. When the combination of the specific item information read by the reading means is determined to be set discount, the difference amount obtained by subtracting the set discount amount from the total amount of the items related to the combined information is refunded. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic ticket vending machine that can provide a customer with a good service and an effect of improving the image on the sales side.

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a money accepting unit that accepts money input by a customer, item selection means for selecting a specific item that the customer desires to purchase, and money as the money. A ticket issuing means for issuing a ticket related to the specific item selected by the customer selecting unit using the item selecting means; a reading means for reading information identifying the ticket recorded in the issued ticket; A return means for returning money to the customer, and a control means for determining whether or not to be subject to a set discount when the information recorded on each of a plurality of tickets is combined, and for controlling each means. An automatic ticket vending machine comprising: the control means for judging whether or not the combination of the information read by the reading means is a combination corresponding to the set discount set in advance. A difference amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the set discount from the total amount of each item related to the combined information. It is characterized by refunding.
For example, in an automatic ticket vending machine installed in a cafeteria or restaurant, a set discount with a total price set lower than purchasing a single item by combining multiple items for the purpose of improving cooking efficiency and serving customers. It may be provided. However, without knowing that a set discount is set, there may be cases where the user notices it after purchasing a plurality of items separately. In such a case, if the customer can process the refund by himself / herself without bothering the hands of the employee, it is advantageous for both parties. Therefore, in the present invention, it is determined that the automatic ticket vending machine includes a reading unit that reads information on a specific item recorded on the ticket, and the combination of the information read by the reading unit can be set discount set in advance. And the difference amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the set discount from the total amount of the items related to the combined information is refunded. As a result, it is possible to provide the customer with an effect of improving the image on the sales side while providing a good quality service to the customer.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the information recorded in the ticket is information relating to the specific item, a time when the specific item is issued, and an ID indicating an order in which the specific item is issued.
When a ticket purchased by a customer is a meal ticket, an automatic ticket vending machine creates a sales log by accumulating as data what items, when and how many, and is often used as sales promotion data. For this purpose, at least information relating to the specific item, the time at which the specific item was issued, and an ID representing the order in which the specific item was issued must be recorded on the ticket. Thereby, it is possible to provide information necessary and sufficient for determining whether the sales log and the set discount are included.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the control unit stores the ID determined as the set discount by the determination unit as an invalid ID so that the ID is not reusable.
For example, immediately after a customer purchases a meal ticket, he notices that it is eligible for a set discount, loads the information and completes the refund process, and then loads the stub again after the meal is finished and performs the refund process. There is a possibility that fraud will occur. In the present invention, in order to prevent the fraud, the ID determined to be a set discount by the determination unit is stored as an invalid ID. As a result, it is possible to prevent fraud by preventing the ticket that has been read once and the refund process has been completed from being reused.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, when the combination of IDs is a serial number , the determination unit determines whether or not the combination of information related to the specific item corresponds to a set discount set in advance. .
The determination unit first determines whether the combination of IDs is a serial number from the information read from the reading unit. This is because if the ID is not a serial number, there is a low possibility that the same customer has purchased, and unnecessary judgment processing that does not make sense is not performed. Further, since the information recorded on the ticket is not necessarily read in the order of ID, for example, even when the ID is read in the order of “2, 1, 3”, this combination is “1, 2, 3”. ”And it can be considered that there is a strong possibility that the same person has purchased. Thereby, useless determination processing can be omitted and the processing speed can be increased.
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the determination unit determines whether or not a combination of information related to the specific item corresponds to a set discount set in advance when the time when the specific item is issued is within a predetermined time. It is characterized by that.
The determination unit first determines from the information read from the reading means whether or not the time at which the specific item is issued is within a predetermined time. This is because if the ID is not processed within a predetermined time, the possibility that the same customer has purchased is low, and useless determination processing having no meaning for determination is not performed. Thereby, useless determination processing can be omitted and the processing speed can be increased.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, when the determination unit determines that the discount is a set discount, the control unit calculates a difference amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the set discount from the total amount of items related to the combined information from the sales log. It is characterized by processing so as to subtract.
The sales log is a record of daily sales data recorded in the order of sales (in order of ID) and totaled. Therefore, when a refund process occurs, it is necessary to change the item with the corresponding ID to a set item and reduce the amount. As a result, even if refund processing occurs, it is possible to eliminate inconsistency with the sales log sales.
The information recorded on the ticket may be a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional code.
When the specific item is determined, it is necessary to record information relating to the specific item on the ticket, the time when the specific item is issued, and an ID representing the order in which the specific item is issued. There are a printing method and a magnetic method for recording. However, the magnetic method is expensive, so the printing method is adopted in the present invention. At that time, either a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional code is selected according to the amount of information. As a result, it is possible to employ a code that is inexpensive and that corresponds to the amount of information.

An eighth aspect of the present invention includes an electronic money receiving unit that accepts a monetary value corresponding to electronic money instead of the money receiving unit.
When purchasing tickets, there may be insufficient cash or no cash. In such a case, if it can be purchased with electronic money such as a credit card, it can be saved. Thereby, cash and electronic money can be used properly effectively.
According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, electronic money return means for returning a monetary value corresponding to electronic money is provided instead of the return means.
When purchasing tickets, there may be insufficient cash or no cash. In such a case, if it can be purchased with electronic money such as a credit card, it can be saved. If there is a refund with a set discount, it will be refunded with electronic money. Thereby, even when not having cash, a desired ticket can be purchased by an automatic ticket vending machine and a refund operation can be performed similarly to cash.

According to the present invention, the automatic ticket vending machine includes a reading unit that reads information on a specific item recorded on a ticket, and it is determined that a combination of information read by the reading unit can be set in advance. Then, since the difference amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the set discount from the total amount of the items related to the combined information is refunded, the customer is provided with a good service and the effect of improving the image on the sales side is given to the customer. be able to.
In addition, since the automatic ticket vending machine records at least information related to the specific item, the time when the specific item was issued, and the ID indicating the order in which the specific item was issued, whether it is a sales log and a set discount. Necessary and sufficient information for determining whether or not can be provided.
In addition, since the determination unit first determines whether or not the combination of IDs is a serial number from the information read from the reading unit, it is possible to omit a useless determination process and increase the processing speed.
In addition, the determination unit first determines from the information read from the reading means whether or not the time at which the specific item is issued is within a predetermined time, so that unnecessary determination processing is omitted and the processing speed is increased. Can do.

In addition, since the ID determined to be a set discount by the determination unit is stored as an invalid ID, it is possible to prevent fraud by preventing reuse of a ticket that has been read once and has been refunded. it can.
Also, if refund processing occurs, the item of the corresponding ID in the sales log is changed to a set item and the amount is also reduced, so even if refund processing occurs, it does not match the sales log sales Can be eliminated.
In addition, since either a one-dimensional bar code or a two-dimensional code is selected according to the information amount, the apparatus can be used at a low cost and according to the information amount.
In addition, since an automatic ticket vending machine can be used with electronic money, cash and electronic money can be used effectively.
Moreover, since an automatic ticket vending machine can be used with electronic money, even when it does not have cash, a desired ticket can be purchased with an automatic ticket vending machine and refund operation | movement can be performed similarly to cash.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the components, types, combinations, shapes, relative arrangements, and the like described in this embodiment are merely illustrative examples and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention only unless otherwise specified. .

FIG. 1 is a view showing an appearance of an automatic ticket vending machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
This automatic ticket vending machine 1 has a display means for displaying information including a menu and a ticket vending machine touch panel having an input means for selecting a specific item (dish, beverage, etc.) that a customer desires to purchase from information displayed by the display means. (Item selection means) 2, a reading unit (reading means) 3 for reading information specifying the ticket recorded on the issued ticket, a reader / writer 30 for reading information recorded in electronic money, and an input A coin insertion slot 8 and a bill insertion slot 5 for inserting money corresponding to the price of the specific item selected by the means, a reject button 4 for releasing coin insertion and bill insertion, and a change button 6 to be pressed when there is change. And a change mouth 7 for paying change, and a ticket take-out for taking out a ticket printed with settled information (item information) about the selected specific item. A mouth 9, and the storage unit 10 for accommodating the control board or power supply or the like, and is configured with a. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the reading unit 3 includes a two-dimensional code reader that reads a two-dimensional code printed on the food ticket 15. The coin insertion slot 8 and the bill insertion slot 5 are also referred to as the money receiving section 12, the reject button 4, the change button 6, and the change slot 7 as the money return section 16.

  First, a schematic operation of the automatic ticket vending machine 1 will be described. When the user stands on the front side of the automatic ticket vending machine 1, a sensor that detects the user outputs detection information to the control unit 13, and the control unit 13 displays information including a menu on the ticket vending machine touch panel 2. The user inserts a fee corresponding to a specific item into the coin insertion slot 8 and the bill insertion slot 5 from the menu contents displayed on the ticket vending machine touch panel 2. Then, by touching a button of a specific item, a food ticket on which the item information is printed is issued from the ticket takeout exit 9. If the user notices that the combination of items corresponds to the set discount after purchasing the meal ticket 15, the reading unit 3 reads the two-dimensional code 19 (see FIG. 3) printed on the purchased meal ticket 15. The two-dimensional code 19 is read over. At this time, all meal tickets of items corresponding to the set discount are read. Based on this information, the control unit 13 determines whether or not the discount is a set discount. If the determination unit 14 determines that the discount is a set discount, the difference obtained by subtracting the set discount amount from the total price of the single item is determined from the change mouth 7. Refund (details will be described later).

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the automatic ticket vending machine according to the embodiment of the present invention. The same components will be described with the same reference numerals as in FIG. The automatic ticket vending machine 1 has a money accepting unit 12 that accepts money entered by a customer, a touch panel (item selecting means) 2 for selecting a specific item that the customer desires to purchase, and money entered into the money accepting unit 12. Recorded in a ticket printing section (ticket issuing means) 11 for issuing a ticket related to a specific item selected by the customer using the touch panel 2, a money returning section (return means) 16 for returning money to the customer, and the issued ticket. A reading unit (reading unit) 3 for reading information specifying the ticket, a reader / writer (electronic money receiving unit, electronic money returning unit) 30 for reading information recorded in the electronic money, and a plurality of tickets A vending machine 1 that includes a control unit (control means) 13 that determines whether or not a set discount is applied when the recorded information is combined and controls each unit. Thus, the control unit 13 includes a determination unit 14 that determines whether the combination of information read by the reading unit 3 is a combination that corresponds to a preset discount set, and the determination unit 14 sets the combination of information. When it is determined that the discount is possible, the difference amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the set discount from the total amount of the items related to the combined information is returned through the money return unit 16.

  For example, in an automatic ticket vending machine installed in a cafeteria or restaurant, a set discount with a total price set lower than purchasing a single item by combining multiple items for the purpose of improving cooking efficiency and serving customers. It may be provided. However, without knowing that a set discount is set, there may be cases where the user notices it after purchasing a plurality of items separately. In such a case, if the user can process the refund on his / her own without bothering the employee, it is advantageous for both parties. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the automatic ticket vending machine 1 includes the reading unit 3 that reads the information (two-dimensional code) 16 of the specific item recorded on the meal ticket 15, and a combination of information read by the reading unit 3 is set in advance. If it is determined that the set discount is possible, the difference amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the set discount from the total amount of the items related to the combined information is refunded. As a result, it is possible to provide the user with a good service and an effect of improving the image on the sales side.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a meal ticket issued from the automatic ticket vending machine according to the present invention. This meal ticket 15 has an area where the two-dimensional code 19, item name and price are printed, and an area 18 where the item name “ramen” and its price “600 yen” are printed with the cut line 17 as a boundary. Therefore, at least item information, time information, and ID are recorded in the two-dimensional code 19. That is, when the voucher 15 purchased by the user is a meal ticket, the automatic ticket vending machine 1 creates a sales log by accumulating as data what items, when and how many times, and uses them as sales promotion data. There are many. For that purpose, it is necessary to record on the ticket 15 at least information relating to the specific item, the time when the specific item was issued, and the ID indicating the order in which the specific item was issued. Thereby, it is possible to provide information necessary and sufficient for determining whether the sales log and the set discount are included.
Moreover, when a specific item is determined, it is necessary to record information relating to the specific item on the ticket, the time when the specific item is issued, and an ID representing the order in which the specific item is issued. There are a printing method and a magnetic method for recording. However, since the apparatus is expensive in the magnetic method, the printing method is adopted in this embodiment. At that time, either a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional code is selected according to the amount of information. Thereby, the apparatus can be selected at a low cost and according to the amount of information.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the automatic ticket vending machine according to the embodiment of the present invention. The automatic ticket vending machine 1 checks whether money is inserted into the bill insertion slot 5 or the coin insertion slot 8 (S1). If no money is inserted (N in S1), the process proceeds to step S8 to check whether the two-dimensional code 19 is read from the reading unit 3 (S8). If not read (N in S8), the process returns to step S1 and repeats.

On the other hand, when money is inserted in step S1 (Y in S1), items that can be purchased with the input amount are displayed on the touch panel 2 (S2). Next, when the user selects an item (S3), a ticket printing the two-dimensional code 19 of the selected item is issued from the ticket printing unit 11 (S4). At this time, the control unit 13 checks whether or not there is a balance (S5). If there is no balance (N in S5), the process proceeds to step S8. If there is a balance (Y in S5), the change button 6 is pressed. If it has been checked (S6), if not pressed (N in S6), the process returns to step S2 to display items that can be purchased with the remaining balance.
When the change button 6 is pressed in step S6 (Y in S6), the change is paid out to the change port 7 (S7). At that time, when the user notices that the combination of items corresponds to the set discount after purchasing the meal ticket 15, the two-dimensional code 19 printed on the purchased meal ticket 15 is held over the reading unit 3 to perform the two-dimensional operation. The code 19 is read (Y in S8). At this time, all meal tickets of items corresponding to the set discount are read. The control unit 13 analyzes the ID of the read two-dimensional code and checks whether it is registered as an invalid ID (S9). If it has been registered as an invalid ID (Y in S9), the fact that it is not a set discount is displayed on the touch panel 2 (S16), and the process returns to step S1.

If it is not registered as an invalid ID in step S9 (N in S9), it is checked whether or not a combination of a plurality of IDs is continuous (S10). If it is not continuous (N in S10), it is determined that it is not a meal ticket purchased by the same person, and it is displayed on the touch panel 2 that it is not a set discount (S16), and the process returns to step S1. If the combination of IDs is continuous in step S10 (Y in S10), the determination unit 14 determines whether a combination of a plurality of items corresponds to a set discount (S11). If it does not correspond to the set discount (N in S11), the fact that it is not a set discount is displayed on the touch panel 2 (S16), and the process returns to step S1. If the set discount is applicable in step S11 (Y in S11), the ID is registered as an invalid ID (S12). Then, the refund is calculated (S13), updated so as to reduce the refund from the sales log (S14), and the refund is refunded from the change mouth 7 (S15).
The reason why the ID once read in step S12 is made invalid is, for example, immediately after the user purchases the meal ticket, notices that it is a set discount target, reads the information and completes the refund process. After the meal is finished, there is a possibility that an injustice to read the stub again and perform the refund process may occur. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the fraud, the ID determined by the determination unit 14 as a set discount is stored as an invalid ID. As a result, it is possible to prevent fraud by preventing the ticket that has been read once and the refund process has been completed from being reused.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the contents of meal tickets purchased by the user according to the embodiment of the present invention arranged in time series. In this figure, items of “item information” 21, “time information” 22, and “ID” 23 are displayed. Here, the ID is registered as a serial number in the order in which the meal tickets are purchased. For example, “Item Information” 21 is “Ramen”, “Time Information” 22 is “12:10”, “ID” 23 is “1”, then “Item Information” 21 is “Fried Rice”, The “time information” 22 is “12:15”, the “ID” 23 is “2”, the “item information” 21 is “ramen”, the “time information” 22 is “12:20”, and “ID”. 23 is “4”, “Item information” 21 is “Gyoza”, “Time information” 22 is “12:21”, “ID” 23 is “5”, “Item information” 21 is “Rice”, “Time information” Consider a case where a combination of “12:21” “22” and “6” “ID” 23 corresponds to “A set”. As an example, if the price for purchasing a single item is 600 yen for "Ramen", 250 yen for "Gyoza", 150 yen for "Rice", and a total of 1000 yen, the set discount amount for this item combination is 800 Yen.

  If the user purchases a meal ticket and finds that this combination of items corresponds to “A set”, the user holds the meal ticket over the reading unit 3 and reads the two-dimensional code. In this case, “Ramen”, “Gyoza”, and “Rice” are read. The reading order may be unordered. The control unit 13 analyzes the ID from the read two-dimensional code and checks whether or not the combination of IDs is continuous. For example, even if the order of the read IDs is “5, 4, 6”, the combination is continued as “4, 5, 6”, so it is determined that the meals are purchased by the same user. If the order of the read IDs is “1, 4, 6”, even if the items are the same, the ID combination is not continuous with “1, 4, 6”, so the same user purchases them. It is determined that it is not a meal ticket. As another method for determining the same user, there is a method for determining whether or not the time information is within a predetermined time. That is, in the case of the above example, “Ramen” is “12:20”, “Gyosa” is “12:21”, and “Rice” is “12:21”. Therefore, it can be regarded as the same user. However, if the ID order is “1, 4, 6” even for the same item, the time will be “12:10”, “12:21”, “12:21”, and both will be opened for more than 10 minutes Therefore, even if the item is the same, it cannot be considered as purchase by the same user. In this way, if the IDs are consecutive, it can be regarded as the same user, so the control unit 13 determines whether or not “ramen”, “Gyoza”, and “rice” are in the set discount from the item information of the ID. The unit 14 determines that this combination corresponds to “A set”. As a result, the amount “800 yen” of “A set” is subtracted from the total amount “1000 yen” of the single item, and the difference “200 yen” is refunded from the change mouth 7.

The determination unit 14 first determines from the information read from the reading unit 3 whether the combination of IDs is a sequential number. This is because if the ID is not a serial number, there is a low possibility that the same customer has purchased, and unnecessary judgment processing that does not make sense is not performed. Thereby, useless determination processing can be omitted and the processing speed can be increased.
Further, the determination unit 14 first determines from the information read from the reading unit 3 whether or not the time when the specific item is issued is within a predetermined time. This is because if the ID is not processed within a predetermined time, the possibility that the same customer has purchased is low, and useless determination processing having no meaning for determination is not performed. Thereby, useless determination processing can be omitted and the processing speed can be increased.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of updating the sales log according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6A shows a sales log before refunding, and FIG. 6B shows a sales log after updating after refunding. In the sales log 24 of FIG. 6A, ID 23, unit price 25, total 26, and time 22 are recorded for each ID. Note that item information 21 corresponding to each ID may be recorded. For example, as shown in the figure, “ID” 1 from the top is recorded as “unit price” 600 yen, “total” 600 yen, and “time” 12:10. Similarly, “ID” 2 is recorded as “unit price” 700 yen, “total” 1300 yen, and “time” 12:15. Thus, each item is recorded in the order of ID. Here, a case where the rows 27 of “ID” 4, 5, and 6 are refunded as a set discount will be described. Since the total amount of the single item in line 27 is 1000 yen, “cumulative” is 2550 yen at the time of “ID” 6. However, assuming that a refund has occurred, the refund amount is 200, so the unit discount 800 is changed to “ID” 4 (line 28) as shown in FIG. "Will be reduced from 2550 yen to 2350 yen. The entire line is then scrolled up. At this time, IDs 5 and 6 may be omitted, or the IDs may be changed.
That is, the sales log 24 is a record of the daily sales data recorded in the order of sales (ID order). Therefore, when a refund process occurs, it is necessary to change the item with the corresponding ID to a set item and reduce the amount. As a result, even if refund processing occurs, it is possible to eliminate inconsistency with the sales log sales.

  As described above, although the automatic ticket vending machine for meal tickets has been described in the present embodiment, the present invention can be applied to an automatic ticket vending machine for boarding tickets or admission tickets. Moreover, in this embodiment, although cash was received by the money reception part 12, the difference was calculated, and the example which refunded cash from the money return part 16 was demonstrated, instead of the money reception part 12 and the money return part 16, The information recorded in the electronic money (IC card) may be read by the reader / writer 30 and payment may be made with the electronic money.
