When an ID card is inserted from the card insertion slot 5 and detected by an optical sensor, etc. (step 1000 affirmative)
, the card is loaded into the device 1 (step 1001)
The information given to the card, that is, the identification code (PIN code) unique to the card, etc., is read (Step 1002>.The card is given information indicating its validity/invalidity (for example, the usable period, etc.). Therefore, when it is determined that the card is invalid (No in step 1003), the card is returned to the insertion slot 5 by known means (step 1500). On the other hand, when it is determined that the card is valid (step 10031), the user waits for the input of a PIN code from the operation unit 8 (step 1004), and the input code matches the PIN code read in step 1002. is confirmed (step 1005 Portrait), and the selection button 9 is turned on with this confirmation as a condition (step 10
06 affirmative), the amount of the product corresponding to this selection button 9 (
billed amount) is displayed on the display 7 (step 1007
). Note that if the two password codes do not match (No in step 1005), the card is returned (step 1500).

Next, when money is inserted from the input slot 3 or 4 (step 10081 fixed), the inserted amount is displayed on the display 6 (step 1009), and when the inserted amount exceeds the billed amount (step 1010 affirmative), An exchange ticket stating that the I[) card user has purchased the product and that the purchase price has been received is issued and discharged to the discharge port 10 (step 1011). If there is change here (step 1012, affirmative), the change is discharged to the discharge port 10 by known means (step 1600), and the ID card has the following information:
The code corresponding to the product purchased this time and other information indicating that the payment has been received (transaction information) are written (step 1013) 1. The card was returned (
Step 1500), the processing in device 1 ends.

Next, the operation of the product delivery confirmation device 100 will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the product purchaser goes to the location where the product delivery confirmation device 100 is installed, hands over the ID card to the clerk, and presents the PIN number of the ID card using the above-mentioned exchange ticket or the like.

This fact is detected by the optical sensor or the like provided in 10A, and the ID card is taken into the device, and information such as a password given to the card is read (step 2001 and step 2002).

Next, based on this read information, the validity of the card is determined in the same manner as described above (step 2003, YES), and the password code is entered from the keyboard using the operation unit 103 (step 2004, YES). (step 2005 affirmative), and if the product corresponding to the PIN code is recorded on the ID card (step 2006 portrait), the product is displayed on the CRT 104 with the product name etc. in association with the PIN code. Is displayed(
step 2007). Note that if the product corresponding to the PIN code is not recorded on the ID card (No in step 2006), it is likely that the deposit processing in the device 1 has not been completed, so the CRT does not contain the PIN code. A message will be displayed instructing you to complete the deposit process in step 1 (
step 2008).

In this way, the staff member can deliver the product to the customer according to the display on the CRT 104.

Next, when the end button provided on the operation unit 103 is turned on (step 2009 affirmative), the transaction information on the ID card is erased (step 2010>, and the card is returned to the insertion slot 102 by the card processing mechanism 410A. (Step 2011 >).

As is clear from the above description, in this example,
The product delivery confirmation device 100 is also configured to input only the ID card and the PIN code separately through the operation unit 103 to confirm whether the two codes match.
Even if the ID card is lost, it is possible to prevent fraud such as someone else using it to receive or take goods.
