JP 2006-139355 A

  In a conventional automatic ticket vending machine, one price is set for one item button. Therefore, the same item ticket cannot be sold to a specific user (member) at a price different from that of a general user (non-member) using the same item button. In order to sell at different prices for each user, it is necessary to increase the number of item buttons and arrange a group of item buttons for specific users and a group of item buttons for general users on the operation surface. However, there is a limit to the number of item buttons that can be arranged on the operation surface in a limited space. For this reason, when the item button group for each user is arranged, another problem that the number of items has to be reduced occurs.

  Similarly, when adding an item that can be purchased only by a specific user, it is necessary to add an item button dedicated to that item, and such an item button dedicated to a specific user is also arranged if there is not enough space. There is a problem that you can not.

  As described above, conventional ticket vending machines cannot sell item tickets at different prices for specific users and general users for the same item without increasing the number of item buttons. However, there is a problem that a specific item cannot be sold only for that. For this reason, it has been difficult to provide an automatic ticket vending machine that is attractive to specific users because it cannot provide services in terms of price and provision items to specific users who frequently use automatic ticket vending machines. .

  In view of the above, the problem of the present invention is to sell the same item ticket differently using the same item button without increasing the number of item buttons and without decreasing the number of items that can be sold. It is to propose an automatic ticket vending machine and an automatic ticket vending system that can be issued at a price.

  Another object of the present invention is to propose an automatic ticket vending machine and an automatic ticket vending machine system that can issue an item ticket only to a specific user using the same item button without increasing the number of item buttons. is there.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides:
When one of the item buttons displaying the item is operated, the automatic ticket vending machine that issues the item ticket displaying the item,
A storage unit that stores and holds the item assigned to each of the item buttons and a plurality of sales prices assigned to the item button in a form associated with each item button;
And a ticketing control unit that switches a sales price of the item assigned to each of the item buttons to any one of a plurality of sales prices.

  In the automatic ticket vending machine of the present invention, a plurality of sales prices are assigned to the items assigned to each item button, and an item ticket can be sold at one of these sales prices. For example, if the sale price of each item button is set to a discount price, discount sale can be performed for a predetermined period using the same item button. In addition, the selling price can be changed in stages according to the time zone. Furthermore, if the sales price of each item is set to a discount price for members registered in advance, it can be used as a vending machine exclusively for members, and if it is set to the general sales price for general users It can be used as a normal automatic ticket vending machine. Therefore, the automatic ticket vending machine can be used in various forms without increasing the item buttons and without decreasing the number of items to be sold.

In particular, in the automatic ticket vending machine of the present invention,
The plurality of selling prices are a general selling price and a member selling price assigned to each of the items,
When the member identification information is input before the item button is operated, the ticketing control unit converts the sales price to the general sales price and the member sales based on a member authentication result performed based on the member identification information. It is characterized by switching to one of the prices.

  In the automatic ticket vending machine with this configuration, two prices, a general sales price and a member price, are assigned to each item button. When the same item button is operated, the item ticket is sold at the member selling price if the item ticket purchaser is a member, and the same item ticket is sold at the general selling price if the member is a non-member. Therefore, the member can purchase the item ticket at a member selling price different from the general selling price displayed on the item button, for example, a discount price. Therefore, the item ticket can be sold to the member at a price different from the general selling price without increasing the item button or reducing the number of items.

  Here, the ticket issuing control unit invalidates the operation of the item button to which a specific value predetermined as the general sales price is assigned when the sales price is switched to the general sales price. It is a feature.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to easily set items that can be purchased only by members. For example, the general sale price stored in the storage unit is set to “0 yen” that does not represent the sale price of the item ticket, and the ticketing control unit assigns the general sale price assigned to the operated item button. When the item ticket purchaser is a non-member, the operation of the item button may be invalidated.

  Next, the member authentication based on the member identification information can be performed in the automatic ticket vending machine, but if it is performed on the management server side that can be connected via a communication line, security against the use of a counterfeit card is ensured. Can be increased. In this case, a card reader that reads the member identification information stored and held in the member card inserted from the card insertion slot and a predetermined transmission of the member identification information read by the card reader are sent to the automatic ticket vending machine. A communication unit that transmits to the destination and receives the member authentication result from the destination may be arranged.

on the other hand. The automatic ticket vending machine system of the present invention is
An automatic ticket vending machine having the above configuration and a management server capable of communication between the communication unit of the automatic ticket vending machine,
The management server is
A server side communication unit for communicating with the automatic ticket vending machine;
A member database storing and storing the member information;
A ticket vending machine database storing and holding information stored in the storage unit of the automatic ticket vending machine;
The member information is verified by comparing the card information received from the automatic ticket vending machine side via the server side communication unit with the member information stored in the member database, and the authentication result of the member authentication is obtained. And a member authentication unit that transmits to the automatic ticket vending machine via a server-side communication unit.

  According to this configuration, since the member authentication is performed on the management server side away from the automatic ticket vending machine, it is possible to improve security against the use of a counterfeit card.

In addition, the management server
In response to a rewrite request from a communication terminal having access rights to the automatic ticket vending machine, the item assigned to each item button in the ticket vending machine stored in the ticket vending machine database, the member selling price, and the A database rewriting unit that rewrites non-member sales prices;
When the ticket vending machine database is rewritten, it communicates with the automatic ticket vending machine to be rewritten via the server-side communication unit, and the information in the storage unit of the automatic ticket vending machine is changed to the rewritten information. It is desirable to have a ticket vending machine updating unit for updating.

  According to this configuration, the administrator of the automatic ticket vending machine can update the contents of the storage unit of the automatic ticket vending machine by accessing the management server from the communication terminal and rewriting the ticket vending machine database. That is, the item, general sales price, and member sales price assigned to the item button can be changed.

  In the automatic ticket vending machine and the automatic ticket vending machine system of the present invention, a plurality of sales prices, for example, two prices, for example, a general sales price and a member price, are allocated to the items allocated to each item button. It is possible to issue item tickets for the same item with different selling prices by operating the buttons. Therefore, according to the present invention, various ticket issuing operations can be performed without increasing the number of item buttons and without reducing the number of items for sale.

  Further, by setting the general sales price assigned to the item button to a specific value such as “0 yen”, the item button can be set as a member-exclusive item ticket sales button. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a service in terms of sales items to the member without adding a member button group dedicated to the member.

(Example of ticketing operation for general users)
FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart showing the purchase operation of the item ticket 15 by a general user (nonmember). A general user who purchases the item ticket 15 inserts money, for example, from the coin insertion slot 18 (step ST1). When money is inserted, the ticket issuing control unit 50 causes the money amount display unit 20 to display the inserted money amount and also displays a message to insert the member card into the card insertion slot 17 of the card reader 30. If the membership card 5 is not inserted within a predetermined time, it is determined that the member is not a member, and the general sales price D equal to or less than the input amount is assigned with reference to the general sales price D of the correspondence table 52a of the storage unit 52. Only the operation of the item button 13 is validated, and the backlight of the item button 13 for which the operation is valid is turned on, thereby informing the user of the operable item button 13, in other words, the purchaseable item ticket 15 (step ST2). , ST3).

  When one of the item buttons 13 whose operation is validated is operated by the user (step ST4), the button number assigned to the operated item button 13 is input to the ticket issuing control unit 50. The ticket issuing control unit 50 searches the correspondence table 52a from the button number A of the operated item button 13, and searches and outputs the item B and the general sales price D assigned to the operated item button 13. Then, the printer 34 is driven to print the item B and the general selling price D on the transported recording paper 37a, and the auto cutter 36 is driven to cut the printed recording paper portion in the width direction. A ticket 15 is created. The created item ticket 15 is issued to the general user from the receiving port 21 (step ST5).

(Example of ticketing operation for members)
FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart showing the purchase operation of the item ticket 15 by the member. The member who purchases the item ticket 15 inserts banknotes, for example, from the banknote insertion slot 16 (step ST11). When the banknote is inserted, the ticket issuing control unit 50 displays the inserted amount on the money amount display unit 20 and a message to insert the member card 5 into the card insertion slot 17 of the card reader 30. . When the member card 5 is inserted within a predetermined time, the member identification information 5a stored in the member card 5 is read (step ST12). The read card information is transmitted to the management server 2 via the communication unit 53. The management server 2 verifies the received card information with the member information in the member database 62 to perform member authentication. The authentication result is returned to the automatic ticket machine 3. When the authentication is rejected, the issue operation of the item ticket 15 is performed at the general sales price D as in the case of the general user (step ST13, steps ST2 to ST5).

  When the member is authenticated, that is, when it is determined that the user is a member, the member sales price E equal to or less than the deposit amount is assigned with reference to the member sales price E of the correspondence table 52a of the storage unit 52. Only the operation of the item button 13 is enabled, and the backlight of the item button 13 for which the operation is effective is turned on to notify the member of the item button 13 that can be operated, in other words, the item ticket 15 that can be purchased (step ST13, ST14, ST15). If the deposit amount is insufficient, a display prompting the deposit is performed (step ST18).

  When one of the item buttons 13 for which the operation is enabled is operated by the member (step ST16), the button number assigned to the operated item button 13 is input to the ticket issuing control unit 50. The ticket issuing control unit 50 searches the correspondence table 52a from the button number A of the operated item button 13, and searches and outputs the item B and the member sales price E assigned to the operated item button 13. Then, the printer 34 is driven to print the item B and the member selling price E on the transported recording paper 37a, and the auto cutter 36 is driven to cut the printed recording paper portion in the width direction. A ticket 15 is created. The created item ticket 15 is issued to the member from the receiving port 21 (step ST17).

  In addition to the item B and the member selling price E, the general selling price D may be printed on the item ticket 15. In this way, the member can confirm from the print information that the item ticket 15 has been purchased at a lower price than the general sales price D. Of course, since the item button 13 displays the item B and the general sales price D, the member sales price E printed on the purchased item ticket 15 is displayed on the operated item button 13. By comparing with the price D, it can be confirmed that the item ticket 15 can be purchased at a bargain price.

  As described above, in the automatic ticket vending machine 3, the same item button 13 can be used to issue an item ticket of the same item to the general user (non-member) and the member at the general selling price D and the member selling price E, respectively. it can. Therefore, an item ticket can be issued to a member at a low price without increasing the number of item buttons. Further, since it is not necessary to divide a limited number of item buttons into a general user item button group and a member item button group, the number of items that can be sold is not reduced. The store side where the automatic ticket vending machine 3 capable of providing such a member service is installed can expect the effect of increasing sales by keeping customers at a lower price than the general user for members. .

  Here, in the automatic ticket vending machine 3, it is possible to issue a member-limited item ticket without increasing the item button. That is, when the general sales price D is set to “0 yen” in the correspondence table 52 a of the storage unit 52, the ticketing control unit 50 performs a process of enabling the operation of the item button 13 only for the member. Do. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the general sales price D of the item B (2) assigned to the item button 13 of the button number A (2) is set to “0 yen”, and the member sales price E is set to “200”. “Yen” is set. In this case, when an item ticket is purchased by a general user, the operation of the item button 13 with the button number A (2) is set to be invalid so that the member can only sell the item ticket.

  In this way, by setting the general selling price D to “0 yen”, the item button 13 can be switched to a member ticket issuing button for member-limited sale. Therefore, it is possible to easily set item buttons for member-limited sales without increasing the number of item buttons.

  It is also possible to set the general sales price D to a specific value other than “0 yen” and to set the item button to which the value is assigned exclusively for the member.

  In the above example, two types of sales prices are set for one item button. It is also possible to set three or more sales prices. For example, it is possible to set three types of sales prices for regular members, associate members, and non-members. It is also possible to set a plurality of types of sales prices according to the sales hours.

  In the above example, the selling price is switched depending on whether or not it is a member, but it may be switched between a regular member, an associate member, and a non-member. It is also possible to switch according to time using a built-in timer.

  Furthermore, in the above example, the member authentication is performed on the management server side, but it is also possible to store the member information in the automatic ticket vending machine and perform the member authentication in the automatic ticket vending machine.

  Furthermore, in the above example, the setting is changed from the administrator communication terminal, but it is needless to say that the setting can be changed using the internal setting unit of the automatic ticket vending machine. In the above example, when a setting change is made in the internal setting unit, the change content is transmitted to the management server side via the communication unit, and the ticket vending machine database is updated.
