Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a system for a vending machine whose product is a message function.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, vending machines have been required to sell a wide variety of products.

An example of a conventional vending machine will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a conventional vending machine. In FIG. 3, 1 is a control device that controls the vending machine. Reference numeral 2 denotes a money sorting device which outputs a money type signal according to the inserted money when money is inserted. 3
is the product unloading section.

The operation of the vending machine configured as described above will be explained below.

First, when money is put into the money sorting device 2, the type of the inserted money is determined, and a money type signal corresponding to the money type is output to the control device 1. The control device 1 determines whether or not the product can be sold based on the money type signal, and outputs a sales signal to the product delivery section 3 if the product is sellable. The product delivery section 3 sells products based on the sales signal.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, there was a problem in that the message could not be sold as a product.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a vending machine system that can sell rice cakes as products.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the message board vending machine system of the present invention includes a PIN input means for inputting a PIN, a microphone for inputting audio, a speaker for outputting audio, and a PIN for inputting a PIN. A message board vending machine is connected to a number, a recording signal, a digital signal converted from an audio signal, and a control unit that converts the digital signal into an audio signal and inputs and outputs the same, and a plurality of message board vending machines connected to the message board. The vending machine has a central storage device that stores a password and a digital ray number using a recording signal from a control section of the vending machine, and outputs a digital signal corresponding to the password from the control section to the control section.

Operation With the above-described configuration, when a message is to be recorded in a message board vending machine, money is inserted, a password is added, and the message is recorded using a microphone. If another person who knows the password wants to listen to the message, he or she can listen to the message over the speaker by simply inputting the password from any networked message board vending machine.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a message board vending machine network system according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a message board vending machine system in one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a money sorting device which outputs a money type signal in accordance with the inserted money when money is inserted.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a switch section operated by a password input means for inputting a password. 6 is a microphone that inputs audio and outputs an audio signal. 6 is a speaker that inputs an audio signal and outputs audio. 7 determines whether or not recording is possible based on the currency type signal, inputs the password output from the switch section 4, outputs the password and recording signal, and records the audio signal output from the microphone 5. It is a control section that converts the signal into a digital signal and outputs it, and also inputs the signal from the receiver A and converts it into an audio signal and outputs it through the speaker 6. Reference numeral 8 denotes the old coin sorting and processing device 2, the switch section 4, the microphone 5, and the speaker 6.
and the control section 7. 9 is connected to a plurality of @kidengoita vending machines 8, and the control section 7 (memorizes the PIN number and official digital signal by means of the recorded signal, and also the control section 7
This is a central storage unit that outputs a digital signal corresponding to the Ii 7th generation password to the control unit based on the password output from the Ii7th generation password.

The operation of the message board vending machine network system configured as described above will be explained using FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, when money is inserted into the money sorting device 2 of one of the plurality of message board vending machines 8 (STEPl), the type of inserted money is determined and a money type signal corresponding to the money type is sent to the control unit. do. The control unit determines whether or not recording is possible based on the currency type signal, and if recording is possible (STEP 2).
The receiver receives the password entered into the switch section 4 (!3T
EP3), waits for the input of an audio signal from the microphone 6. Microphone 5 receives the input audio (5TEP4
) is converted into an audio signal and sent to the control section 7. Control unit 7
Then, the audio signal is inputted from the microphone 6, converted into a digital signal (STEPa), and the password and digital signal are sent to the central storage device 9 (STEPe). In the central storage device 9, the digital signal is stored in the area assigned to the @recorded password (5TEP7).

On the other hand, when a password is input to any of the switch sections 4 of the plurality of message board vending machines 8 (STEPs), the password is sent to the control section 7. The control unit 7 is a central storage device 9
The password is output to (STEP 9). The central storage device 9 inputs the password and checks whether the same password exists (STEPlo).

If the PIN number exists, a digital signal corresponding to the PIN code is output to the control unit, and if it does not exist, nothing is done (STEP
ll). The control section 7 inputs the digital signal from the central storage device @9 (5TEP12), converts it into an audio signal, and sends it to the speakers (5TEP13). If there are too few digital signals input from the central storage device 9, nothing is added (STEP 12). The speaker 6 converts the @phonic angle signal into audio and outputs it (STEP 14).

As described above, according to this embodiment, the money sorting processing device 1,
By connecting a plurality of message board vending machines 8, which are configured by the control unit 7 to which the switch unit 4, microphone 6, and speaker 6 are connected, to the central storage device 9, any one of the message board vending machines 8 can be connected to the central storage device 9. Money sorting processing device 2
Insert coins into the box, enter your PIN from switch section 4,
By inputting audio through the microphone 6, the audio can be stored in the central storage device 9. On the other hand, by inputting the PIN number from any switch section 4 of the message board vending machine 8, the voice corresponding to the PIN number stored in the central storage device 9 can be outputted from the speaker 6 and heard. It is possible to realize a message board vending machine system where the product is a message board vending machine system.

In this embodiment, the switch unit 4 is used as the password input means, but the switch unit 4 may be a voice input method using a microphone or a card input method using a magnetic card with a password input and a card reader.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a central storage device that connects a plurality of message board vending machines each equipped with a password input means, a microphone, a speaker, and a control unit. The message stored in the central storage device can be stored by entering the PIN number in the central storage device, and another person who knows the PIN number can input the PIN number from any message board vending machine. Comrades who can hear the content and don't know the location at a certain time,
Can send messages to many people.
