Abstract

PURPOSE: To allow a customer to receive a DP bag by means of a coupon, a card or a cash or the like by providing a designation means of the DP bag and plural kinds of settlement means for a charge. CONSTITUTION: When a customer has a coupon, it is inserted to a coupon entry port 28. When no coupon is carried, the customer enters an ID number by using a key board 27. Thus, a DP charge is displayed on a display device 26 and delivery by cash is made. In the case of a pre-paid card, when the card is inserted to a card insert port 13, the pay monetary amount is decreased and when deficient, a deficient monetary amount is displayed on the display device 26 to urge the customer to deposit a cash. When the remaining monetary amount is lost from the pre-paid card, a gift display device 21 is blinked and a desired gift is discharged to a gift extract port 30. In the case of a supporting membership card, when the utility charge reaches a prescribed monetary amount, privilege such as gift delivery or charge discount is provided. Thus, the DP bag is received by various methods.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a voucher. The exchange ticket 55 is automatically issued when the DP acceptance machine is loaded with film and a DP request is made. The exchange ticket 55 includes an ID number 56 for identifying the film, an underwriting die 57. Expected completion date 58. DP delivery machine Nα59 is printed.

The requested films are stored in separate bags for each request, and a label recording the same data as the exchange ticket is also attached to this bag. The ID No. 56 is D
It is a combination of the number of the P delivery machine and the consecutive order number, and by having this number of the DP delivery machine in mind, it is possible to avoid mistakes when loading DP bags.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a prepaid card.

The prepaid card 50 has a prepaid amount of 60. Perforation 61 showing an overview of the amount spent. It is comprised of a data recording section 62 that records data such as remaining balance. The perforation 61 is made with a puncher of the card reading/recording device 36 at the time of paying the fee. Further, the data recording section 62 is composed of a magnetic recording layer,
The magnetic head of the card reader/recorder 36 reads and records data.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG. 6, an 02 bag 46 containing printed photographs and developed film is loaded into the empty storage section 43a=8=. After this loading, the ID No. recorded in the 02 bag 46. is entered on the keyboard 27, and this is stored in the memory 4.
Write to 0. Next, the address of the storage section 43a is input using the keyboard 27 and written into the memory 40. Finally, input the DP fee (payment amount). The CPU 34 is
The three types of input data are associated within the memory 40. Thereafter, DP bag loading and data input are performed in the same manner.

As shown in FIG. 7, if you bring a voucher 55 with you, insert it into the voucher insertion slot 28.

This inserted voucher 55 is read by the voucher reader 37. If you do not bring the exchange ticket 27, enter the ID number you wrote down using the keyboard 27. The CPU 34 reads the input ID No. and the memory 40.
If they match, the DP fee is displayed on the display 26.

When cash is inserted through the bill insertion slot 14 or the coin insertion slot 15, the amount detected by the coin selector 32 or the bill discriminator 35 is displayed on the display 26. If there is more cash than the DP fee, change is processed. Furthermore, when a prepaid card 50 is inserted into the card insertion slot 13 instead of cash, the card reader/recorder 36 reads the balance data. If there is no shortage of money, subtract the payment amount and use the unused amount as the balance and pay 50 yen to the prepaid card.
A hole 61 is drilled so that the remaining amount can be estimated. On the other hand, if there is a shortage of money, the shortage is displayed on the display 26 to prompt the user to insert cash. Note that when the missing money is deposited, change processing is performed.

After processing the change, search the storage section 43a that stores the 02 bag 46 with the specified ID No., operate the drive unit, and
Two bags 46 are discharged. The discharged 02 bag 46 slides down the chute 47 and reaches the DP bag outlet 17, where it can be taken out by hand.

After the 02 bags 46 are discharged, data such as delivery date and time, amount, etc. are totaled and written into the memory 40. When there is no remaining money on the prepaid card 50, a chime is sounded and the prize display 21 is blinked to indicate that the prize can be taken out. Therefore, if you observe the prize through the prize observation window 19 and operate the selection button 20 of the desired prize,
The prize discharging device 39 operates and the selected prize is discharged to the prize outlet 30.

FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which a DP acceptance machine 64 and a DP delivery machine 65 are combined, and the same parts as shown in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals. DP underwriting is machine 64
In addition to being provided with a card insertion slot 13, a voucher insertion slot 28, etc., a cartridge insertion slot 66 for inserting a Parrone (film container) is provided.

When a cartridge is inserted into the cartridge insertion slot 66 and a certain amount of advance money, for example 100 yen, is inserted, the voucher 55 mentioned above is ejected from the voucher exit 67.

The DP delivery machine 65 is provided with a D'P bag discharging device 38 and a prize discharging device 39, and when receiving the DP bag 46, the DP acceptance is performed by operating an operating member provided on the machine 64. Can be done.

FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the product discharging device.

A storage body 72 rotated by a motor 71 is provided inside the main body 70 of the DP delivery machine.

This storage body 72 is formed with a plurality of storage sections 72a arranged in three stages in the vertical direction, into which the 02 bags 46 are loaded. Three doors 74 to 75 are provided on the front surface of the main body 70 to correspond to the storage section 72. these doors 7
4 to 75 are provided with a locking mechanism, and lamps 76 to 78 indicating that they can be opened and closed are provided.

The rotational position of the storage body 72 is determined according to the input ID No., and the storage body 72 is rotated to this position by the motor 71. After this positioning, the door 74 of the tier storing the designated 02 bag 46 is unlocked, and at the same time the lamp 77 is turned on to indicate that the 02 bag 46 can be taken out.

In the above embodiment, a prepaid card was described, but this may also be a credit card. In the case of this credit card, since the ID No. is recorded on the credit card, by using this ID No. as the ID No. of the DP bag, DP acceptance by credit card and DP
P delivery can be performed. Furthermore, by connecting the DP delivery machine and the calculation center via an ON line, it is possible to settle fees and the like.

Furthermore, since the TD number is also recorded on the membership card of the Tomo no Kai, just like the credit card mentioned above,
DP reception and delivery can be performed. In the case of this Tomo-no-kai card, the total usage fee must be tallied.
When a certain amount is reached, points such as prizes, discounts, etc. are given. This gift delivery can be done in the same way as with the prepaid card described above, and in the case of a discount, it is determined whether the card is a membership card or not, and then the discount is calculated and displayed on the display 26.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, in the present invention, in order to specify the ID No., a voucher insertion slot and a keyboard are provided,
In addition, since a cash slot and a card slot are provided to settle charges, the DP bag can be received without a voucher, or even if you have a card and do not have cash on hand.

In addition, in the case of a card, benefits such as prizes and discounts can be given depending on the amount spent.
