Further, the article supply device data D1 and the serial code data D2, which will be described later, are stored.

The article supply device data D1 stores the device ID of the article supply device 1 capable of supplying the article 2 subject to collaboration between the company X and the company Y, and the inventory quantity of the articles of the article supply device 1. There is. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the article supply device data D1. As shown in FIG. 9, the article supply device data D1 includes the device ID of the article supply device 1 capable of supplying the article 2 subject to collaboration between the company X and the company Y, and the article supply device 1 of the device ID. The number of goods in stock is associated with and stored.

The serial code data D2 stores the serial code described in the magazine 4 sold by the company Y. The serial code is a code number that is assigned a different number to each magazine 4 and does not overlap with each other. Such a serial code can be generated by using a check digit or the like. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of serial code data D2. As shown in FIG. 10, the serial code data D2 is stored in association with a unique serial code and an authentication flag. As will be described later, the acquisition right authentication unit 622 authenticates the user's article acquisition right by the serial code, and when the supply of the article 2 from the article supply device 1 is completed, the authentication is completed in the field of the authentication flag of the serial code. An authenticated flag is added to indicate that.

The processing unit 62 comprehensively controls the operation of the management device 5 based on the programs and data stored in the storage unit 61. The function of the processing unit 62 can be realized by, for example, a microprocessor such as a CPU or GPU, or an electronic component such as an ASIC or an IC memory. The processing unit 62 includes an article supply device determination unit 621, an acquisition right authentication unit 622, and a lock control unit 623 as main functional units.

The article supply device determination unit 621 receives the request of the serial code input screen from the terminal 3, acquires the device ID included in the request, and whether the acquired device ID is included in the article supply device data D1. To judge. The article supply device determination unit 621 confirms the inventory quantity of the article supply device 1 of the device ID when it is included in the article supply device data D1, and if there is an inventory quantity, the article supply of the device ID acquired by the user. It is determined that the device 1 is an article supply device 1 capable of supplying the article 2 to be collaborated with the magazine 4. Then, the article supply device determination unit 621 identifies the article supply device 1 to which the unlock signal is transmitted. When the determination and identification are completed, the article supply device determination unit 621 transmits the serial code input screen to the terminal 3. On the other hand, if the article supply device determination unit 621 is not included in the article supply device data D1 or is included in the article supply device data D1 but is out of stock, the article 2 cannot be supplied. An error screen is transmitted to the terminal 3 to guide the user. It should be noted that the supplyable period during which the article 2 can be supplied from the article supply device 1 is predetermined, and even when a request for a serial code input screen from the terminal 3 is received after the supply available period has elapsed, the article 2 An error screen indicating that supply is impossible is transmitted to the terminal 3.

The acquisition right authentication unit 622 collates the serial code input on the input screen with the serial code of the serial code data D2, and the serial code input on the input screen is included in the serial code data D2, and If the serial code is not set with the authentication flag, it is assumed that the serial code entered on the input screen is authenticated and the user's right to acquire goods is authenticated. Then, the guidance information for guiding the supply of the goods is transmitted to the user's terminal 3. If the serial code has an expiration date, the acquisition right authentication unit 622 also authenticates the expiration date of the serial code entered on the input screen. On the other hand, when the serial code cannot be authenticated (including the case where the expiration date has expired and the authentication cannot be performed), the acquisition right authentication unit 622 gives an error indicating that the serial code (article acquisition right) could not be authenticated. The screen is transmitted to the terminal 3.

When the lock control unit 623 determines that the article supply device 1 of the device ID can supply the article 2 by the article supply device determination unit 621 and the article acquisition right is authenticated by the acquisition right authentication unit 622, the acquired device ID is used. An unlock signal is transmitted to the article supply device 1.

The operation of the article supply system of the present embodiment will be described.

11 is a sequence diagram of the article supply system of the present embodiment, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the management device 5 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the article supply device 1 in the present embodiment. In the following description, it is assumed that the article supply device data D1 is shown in FIG. 9 and the serial code data D2 is shown in FIG.

First, the entire flow of the article supply system will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

The user goes to a place where the article supply device 1 capable of supplying the article 2 to be presented by the magazine 4 free of charge is installed, and displays the information display body of the first identification information 11 displayed on the article supply device 1. get. The acquisition of the information display body is performed by using the photographing function of the photographing unit 302 of the terminal 3 according to the operation of the user (Step 1). FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of photographing an information display body of the first identification information 11 of the article supply device 1 by the photographing unit 302 of the terminal 3. The user stands in front of the article supply device 1, operates the terminal 3 so that the information display body of the first identification information 11 is displayed on the display 31 of the terminal 3, and photographs the information display body.

The information acquisition unit 510 of the terminal 3 acquires the first identification information 11 from the information display body of the photographed first identification information 11. In this example, the acquired first identification information 11 includes the device ID of the article supply device 1 and is link destination information (for example, URL) to the means for authenticating the serial code 12 (Step 2). In this example, it is assumed that the acquired device ID is "12560" and the management device 5 is set as the link destination.

The serial code acquisition unit 511 of the terminal 3 transmits a request for transmission of the serial code input screen to the management device 5 based on the link destination including the device ID of the article supply device 1 (Step 3).

The management device 5 receives the request from the terminal and performs the supply determination process (Step 4). The details of the supply determination process will be described later.

When the terminal 3 does not receive the error guidance screen from the management device 5 and receives the serial code input screen, the serial code acquisition unit 511 of the terminal 3 displays the serial code input screen (Step 5). FIG. 15 is an example of a serial code input screen displayed on the terminal 3. The user inputs the serial code on the displayed input screen (Step 6). In this example, it is assumed that the user has entered the serial code "1VB3588" into the serial code input screen. Then, the serial code acquisition unit 511 transmits the serial code to the management device 5.

The management device 5 receives the serial code and performs a supply determination process (Step 4). When the management device 5 can authenticate the serial code, the management device 5 transmits the guidance information to the terminal 3. Further, when the article supply device 1 is specified and the serial code can be authenticated, the management device 5 transmits an unlock signal to the article supply device 1 (Step 4).

The supply information guidance unit 512 of the terminal 3 receives the guidance information from the management device 5 and displays the guidance information (Step 8). FIG. 16 is an example of guidance information displayed on the terminal 3. The guidance information in FIG. 16 indicates that the serial code has been authenticated, that the handle 15 of the article supply device 1 is operated to receive the article, and that the handle 15 is locked in one minute. The user operates the article supply device 1 according to the guidance information.

The article supply device 1 receives the unlock signal and performs supply processing (Step 9). Then, the article supply device 1 transmits the supply report to the management device 5. The details of the supply process (Step 9) will be described later.

The acquisition right authentication unit 622 of the management device 5 receives the supply report, and if the supply report is a report that normally supplies the goods, the authentication has been completed in the field of the authentication flag of the corresponding serial code in the serial code data D2. An authenticated flag is added to indicate that the serial code cannot be used again (Step 10). In addition, the number of stocks of the article supply device 1 to which the supply report is transmitted is reduced by one.
The above is the explanation of the whole operation.

Next, the supply determination process (Step 4) of the management device 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the article supply device determination unit 621 of the management device 5 receives the request from the terminal 3 (Step 100), the device ID included in the request is acquired (Step 101). In this example, the acquired device ID is "12560".

The article supply device determination unit 621 determines the device ID using the article supply device data D1 (Step 102). The determination of the device ID is a determination of whether or not the acquired device ID is included in the article supply device data D1. When the acquired device ID is included in the article supply device data D1 (Step 103), the article supply device 1 of the device ID acquired by the user can supply the article 2 to be collaborated with the magazine 4. The article supply device 1 that is determined to be the device 1 and transmits the unlock signal is specified. On the other hand, when the acquired device ID is not included in the article supply device data D1 (Step 103), the article supply device 1 of the device ID acquired by the user can supply the article 2 to be the target of collaboration with the magazine 4. It is determined that the device is not the article supply device 1, and error guidance information is transmitted to the terminal 3 (Step 110). FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of error guidance information of the article supply device.
In this example, the acquired device ID is "12560" and is included in the article supply device data D1, so that the article supply device 1 with the acquired device ID "12560" is an article to be collaborated with the magazine 4. 2 is determined to be an article supply device 1 capable of supplying.

Subsequently, the article supply device determination unit 621 confirms the inventory of the article 2 of the article supply device 1 of the acquired device ID (Step 104). When the inventory quantity of the acquired device ID in the article supply device data D1 is not "0", the article supply device determination unit 621 determines that the article supply device 1 of the acquired device ID can supply the article 2 and unlocks the article. The article supply device 1 to which the signal is transmitted is specified. Then, the article supply device determination unit 621 transmits the serial code input screen to the terminal 3 (Step 105). On the other hand, when the stock quantity of the device ID acquired in the article supply device data D1 is "0", the article supply device determination unit 621 transmits error guidance information to the terminal 3 (Step 110). For example, error guidance information as shown in FIG. 19 is transmitted to the terminal 3.
In this example, since the inventory quantity of the article supply device 1 of the device ID "12560" acquired in the article supply device data D1 is not "0", the serial code input screen is transmitted to the terminal 3 (Step 105).

Next, when the acquisition right authentication unit 622 receives the serial code input on the input screen (Step 106), the acquisition right authentication unit 622 performs the authentication process of the acquired serial code (Step 107). In this example, the acquired serial code is "1VB3588", and the serial code "1VB3588" is the authentication target.

The acquisition right authentication unit 622 collates the acquired serial code with the serial code of the serial code data D2, the acquired serial code is included in the serial code data D2, and the authenticated flag is set in the serial code. If not, the acquired serial code is authenticated, and it is determined that the user's right to acquire the article 2 has been authenticated (Step 108). If the serial code has an expiration date, the acquisition right authentication unit 622 also authenticates the expiration date of the serial code entered on the input screen. When the expiration date of the serial code is valid and the serial code is authenticated, the acquisition right authentication unit 622 transmits guidance information regarding the supply of goods (Step 109).

On the other hand, the acquisition right authentication unit 622 collates the acquired serial code with the serial code of the serial code data D2, and the acquired serial code is not included in the serial code data D2, or the acquired serial code is the serial code. Even if it is included in the data D2, if the serial code is given the authenticated flag, the serial code has an expiration date, and if the expiration date has expired, the acquired serial code is inappropriate. Judging that it is a bad thing, do not authenticate. If the serial code cannot be authenticated (including the case where the expiration date has expired and the authentication cannot be performed), the acquisition right authentication unit 622 displays an error screen indicating that the serial code (article acquisition right) could not be authenticated. It is transmitted to the terminal 3 (Step 110). FIG. 20 is an example of an error screen indicating that the serial code cannot be authenticated.

In this example, the acquired serial code is "1VB3588", which is included in the serial code data D2, and the authenticated flag is not added. Also, no expiration date has been set for the serial code. Therefore, the acquisition right authentication unit 622 determines that the acquired serial code "1VB3588" is authenticated and the article acquisition right of the user's article 2 is authenticated, and transmits the guidance information regarding the article supply.

When the article supply device determination unit 621 determines that the article supply device 1 of the device ID can supply the article 2 and the acquisition right authentication unit 622 authenticates the article acquisition right, the lock control unit 623 is the article supply device determination unit. An unlock signal is transmitted to the article supply device 1 having the device ID specified by 621 (Step 111). In this example, the lock control unit 623 transmits an unlock signal to the article supply device 1 having the device ID “12560”.
This completes the description of the supply determination process (Step 4) of the management device 5.

Subsequently, the supply process (Step 9) of the article supply device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the control unit 24 of the article supply device 1 receives the unlock signal (Step 200), the control unit 24 unlocks the lock unit 22 (Step 201).

The control unit 24 of the article supply device 1 determines the supply of the article 2 (Step 202). First, the control unit 24 determines whether the handle 15 of the operation unit 23 has been operated (for example, one rotation) (Step 203). When the handle 15 is operated (for example, one rotation), one article 2 is supplied to the take-out port 16 from the article supply unit 21 (Step 204). Then, the control unit 24 locks the lock unit 22 (Step 205).

On the other hand, when the handle 15 is not operated (Step 203), the control unit 24 determines whether a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed from the unlocking (Step 207). The control unit 24 locks the lock unit 22 (Step 205) when the handle 15 is not operated (Step 203) and a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) has elapsed from the unlocking (Step 207).

Finally, the control unit 24 makes a supply report to the effect that the article 2 is normally supplied when the article 2 is normally supplied, and when the article 2 is not supplied, the article 2 is not supplied. A supply report to that effect is made (Step 206).

Although the control is from unlocking to locking of the lock unit 22, in the above-described example, the control unit 24 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed from the unlocking, and when the predetermined time has elapsed, the lock unit 22 is pressed. An example of locking is explained. This is an example. For example, the lock control unit 623 of the management device 5 measures the time from the transmission of the unlock signal, and reports the supply that the article 2 has been normally supplied by the time when the predetermined time elapses. If not received, the control unit 24 may be configured to transmit a lock signal to the control unit 24 of the article supply device 1. In this case, when the control unit 24 receives the lock signal, the control unit 24 puts the lock unit 22 in the locked state.
This is the end of the description of the supply process (Step 9) of the article supply device 1.

It should be noted that the article supply device 1 defines a supply period during which the article 2 for gifts can be supplied, and the case where the article 2 is acquired after that or the place where the article supply device 1 is installed is remote from the user. In this case, at the request of the user, the article 2 may be delivered to the user without going to the article supply device 1 on condition that the serial code is authenticated.

In this embodiment, the article supply device 1 displays the first identification information 11 for identifying the article supply device capable of supplying the article to the user as a trigger for the user to acquire the article to be presented. Therefore, the user goes to the place where the article supply device 1 displaying the first identification information 11 is installed. As a result, the user is guided to the installation location of the article supply device 1 and knows the article supply device that supplies other articles. Also, the user can know that various articles other than the supplied articles are supplied. Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to authenticate the second identification information 11 described in the magazine 4 at the place where the first identification information 11 is acquired, and the convenience of the user is taken into consideration.
On the other hand, even for a company that provides products such as magazines, by presenting the goods, the user's willingness to purchase the products will be increased.

Therefore, this embodiment realizes useful collaboration (joint planning) not only for the user who supplies the goods but also for both the company that supplies the goods to the users and the company that supplies the goods to the users. Can be done. As a result, the present embodiment can meet the needs of various consumers such as a company who wants to use the goods supply device as well as the user who is supplied with the goods.

In the present embodiment, the act of the user who acquires the goods acquisition right is the purchase of the magazine 4, and the example of the serial code in which the second identification information 12 is described in the magazine 4 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. Is clear. For example, the act of the user who acquires the goods acquisition right may be participation in the event, and the second identification information 12 may be a serial code given by participation in the event. Further, the act of the user who acquires the goods acquisition right may be an application for a lottery, and the second identification information 12 may be a serial code given by winning the lottery.

<Second embodiment>
The second embodiment will be described. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the article supply device 1 of the second embodiment.

The second embodiment is a case where the article supply device 1 of the first embodiment functions as one unit, and one article supply device 1 is configured from a plurality of units 70 and one display unit 71. explain.

The unit 70 is similar to the article supply device 1 described in the first embodiment. The differences from the article supply device 1 described in the first embodiment are as follows.
-The unit 70 does not display (mount) the first identification information 11.

The unit 70 includes a light emitting element 72 such as an LED that is visible to the user. When the control unit 24 receives the lock release signal and releases the lock unit 22, the light emitting element 72 is turned on, and the unit 70 notifies the user that the article 2 can be supplied.

The display unit 71 is installed at the top of the plurality of units 70, and the first identification information 11 is displayed. Here, the first identification information 11 is not the device ID of each unit 70, but the device ID of one article supply device 1 (hereinafter, referred to as a group ID) in which a plurality of units 70 are grouped. Further, the display unit 71 indicates that, of the plurality of units 70, the unit 70 in which the light emitting element 72 is lit can supply the article 2.

In the management device 5, the configuration of the article supply device data D1 and the configuration of the article supply device determination unit 621 are different.

The article supply device data D1 is similar in that the device ID of the unit 70 and the inventory quantity of the article 2 of the unit 70 are stored, but these are the IDs of a group in which a plurality of units 70 are grouped. Is associated with the group ID. This group ID is a group ID included in the first identification information 11 displayed on the display unit 71. FIG. 18 is an example of the article supply device data D1 of the second embodiment. In the example of FIG. 18, one group ID “101” is associated with device IDs of a plurality of units 70. That is, the units 70 of the plurality of device IDs belonging to the group ID "101" constitute one article supply device 1.

The article supply device determination unit 621 receives the request on the serial code input screen from the terminal 3, acquires the group ID included in the request instead of the device ID, and the acquired group ID is the article supply device data. Determine if it is included in D1. When the group ID is included in the article supply device data D1, the unit 70 of the device ID in which the article 2 is in stock is specified among the device IDs belonging to the group ID acquired by the user. The simplest method of identifying the unit 70 of the device ID is to search the inventory quantity in the order of the number with the youngest device ID among the device IDs belonging to the group ID, and supply the unit 70 of the device ID in stock to the article 2. It is a method of identifying the unit 70. However, this is an example, and other methods may be used. For example, the unit 70 of the device ID may be specified so that the number of stocks is uniform.

When the serial code is authenticated in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the article supply device determination unit 621 transmits an unlock signal to the unit 70 of the specified device ID.
Upon receiving the unlock signal, the control unit 24 of the unit 70 that has received the unlock signal unlocks the lock unit 22.
Other configurations and operations are the same as in the first embodiment.

The second embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects of the first embodiment.

-Since the management device 5 selects and unlocks the unit 70 having a stock quantity, after acquiring the user's first identification information, an error due to lack of inventory is prevented, and the first identification by the user is performed again. It is possible to avoid the acquisition of information and improve the convenience of the user.

-The side that manages the article supply device does not need to display or attach the first identification information to each unit 70, and may display one first identification information on the display unit 71. The burden on the side that manages the supply device is reduced.
The number of displays of the first identification information of the display unit 71 is not always limited to one, and may be a plurality as needed.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the above embodiments and can be variously modified and implemented within the scope of the technical idea.
