The present invention relates to the simultaneous selection and release of a plurality of columns of a ticket vending machine. In particular, when a ticket of several columns is to be purchased, the tickets of different columns can be simultaneously selected as the bills and coins are input after selecting a selection button of a column to be purchased. A multiple column simultaneous release method of a ticket vending machine to release.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a conventional ticket vending machine. As shown therein, a central control unit 1 which performs input / output control and main program control of a ticket vending machine, and print data from the central control unit 1 are not shown. A ticket printing apparatus 2 for printing on plain paper and issuing a ticket, a banknote identifier 3 for discriminating the authenticity and type of the inserted banknotes, and a coin identifier 4 for discriminating the authenticity and type of the coin inputted (4). ), A change holding and returning device (5) for holding coins and dispensing change if necessary, a display device (6) for ticket release, and various data and ticket releases set from the data setting and display device (6). A data storage device 7 for storing information, a marketable column display unit 8 for displaying whether a ticket for each column can be released and a column that can be released, and a column selected by the user. The column selection button detecting unit 9 for detecting, the release state display unit 10 for displaying the availability of the ticket vending machine according to the operation state and the presence or absence of printing paper, and the change holding and returning device 5 If there is no change by detecting the change, the change is composed of the change and the input amount display unit 11 to display the absence of the change and to display the input amount on the indicator.

If described with reference to Figure 2 the operation and effect of the prior art as follows.

When power is supplied to the ticket vending machine, the central control unit 1 initializes input and output, reads various setting data from the setting data storage unit 7, terminates the initial operation, and checks whether the printout of the print media is out of print media. When the product is sold out, a release stop is displayed on the release display unit 10 to indicate that ticket release is impossible, and then wait for printing paper to be loaded.

At this time, if the printing paper is not sold out after the initialization, the central control unit 1 displays the being sold on the release status display unit 10, and then releases the ticket for the column when the selling price is 0 won or the column is sold out or not available. The column that is set to stop the release by checking the existence of the column set not to display is displayed by lighting the release stop lamp of the corresponding column.

When the release stop control for each column is ended, the central control unit 1 receives whether there is a change from the change holding and returning device 5, and there is no change in the change and input amount display unit 11 when there is no change. The lamp is lit and displayed and the outputs of the banknote identifier 3 and the coin identifier 4 are detected to determine whether there is a coin or banknote.

Accordingly, when the user inputs the bill or change for the purchase of the ticket, the central control unit 1 receiving the input amount from the bill identifier 3 or the coin identifier 4 displays the change and the input amount display unit 11. After that, it is determined whether the input amount is more than the marketable amount.

At this time, the central control unit 1 which compares the resaleable amount and the input amount determines whether or not the change is possible if the input amount is equal to or greater than the release amount. When the lamp is turned on and the column selection button detection unit 9 receives the column selection button input or not, and the button is pressed, the ticket printing data corresponding to the selected column is transmitted to the ticket printing device 2 to release the ticket. It is determined whether the release has ended.

Therefore, when the ticket release is completed, the central control unit 1 calculates the release price, pays out the change when necessary to change the change, erases the displayed input amount to 0, and stores the release information in the setting data storage device 7. By turning off the releasable column lamp of the releasable column display unit 8, one release operation is completed.

On the other hand, when the sold out of a particular column is set while the ticket is being sold out, if the door of the ticket vending machine is opened and the sold out setting operation is performed, the central control unit 1 controls the sellable column display unit 8 to light the sold out lamp of the column. By doing so, it displays the sold out of the column and stops the ticket sale of the column.

However, in the prior art, when different types of tickets are separately installed on the ticket column selection button display unit, when a buyer selects a column to purchase and purchases a ticket, there is no problem when only one column of tickets is purchased. When you want to purchase a ticket, you need to repeat the column selection, bill and coin input operation to buy each one, which not only inconveniences the user, but also takes a long time to release the ticket, causing a decrease in the ticket release ability per ticketing machine. .

Therefore, in order to solve such a conventional problem, when the user wants to purchase a plurality of columns, the plurality of columns are selected and then a release price of the plurality of columns is released at a time as the corresponding release amount is input, thereby reducing the release time. In addition, a method of simultaneously releasing a plurality of columns of a ticket vending machine to solve the inconvenience of the user is described. Referring to the accompanying drawings, it will be described in detail as follows.

The ticket vending machine of this invention is comprised similarly to the conventional ticket vending machine of FIG.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the present invention will be described.

When power is supplied to the ticket vending machine, the central control unit 1 initializes input and output, reads various setting data from the setting data storage unit 7, terminates the initial operation, and checks whether or not the printing paper is sold out from the ticket printing unit 2. When the product is sold out, the release status is displayed on the release state display unit 10 to indicate that ticket release is not possible, and then waits for printing paper to be mounted.

At this time, if the printing paper is not sold out after the initialization, the central control unit 1 displays the being sold on the release status display unit 10, and then releases the ticket for the column when the selling price is 0 won or the column is sold out or not available. The column that is set to stop the release by checking the existence of the column not set is displayed by lighting the release stop lamp of the corresponding column.

When the release stop control for each column is ended, the central control unit 1 receives whether there is a change from the change holding and returning device 5, and there is no change in the change and input amount display unit 11 when there is no change. The lamp will light up and determine if the column select button is on.

Accordingly, when the column selection button is turned on, the release possible lamp of the column selected by the releaseable column display unit 8 is turned on, the release amount of the selection column is displayed on the change and input amount display unit 11, and the banknote identifier 3 and the coin After outputting the inputtable signal so that banknotes and coins of the identifier 4 can be inputted, it is determined whether the selection button of another column is turned on.

At this time, when the select button of another column is turned on and the plurality of columns are selected, the next selectable column may be displayed in the same way as above, and the change amount of the additional selected column may be summed and the change and input amount display unit 11 Will be repeated.

Accordingly, when the selection of the column is ended by repeating the column selection operation, the central processing unit 1 detects the output of the banknote identifier 3 and the coin identifier 4 to determine whether there is a coin or a banknote input. If the cancel button is turned on without the coin being inserted, the central control unit 1 withdraws the input amount when there is an input amount, deletes the displayed input amount to 0, and turns off the available column lamp of the available column display part 8. This terminates the release operation.

Then, when the user inputs the bill or change for the ticket purchase, the central control unit 1 receiving the input amount from the banknote identifier 3 or the coin identifier 4 subtracts the input amount from the release amount and subtracts the difference. It is displayed on the change and input amount display unit 11 and compares the amount available for release with the input amount.

Accordingly, if the input amount is greater than or equal to the marketable amount, the central processing unit 1 transmits a prohibition signal to the banknote identifier 3 and the coin identifier 4, and then prints the ticket print data of the selected column in the ticket printing apparatus ( 2) the ticket is printed, and when the printing is completed, the available column display unit 8 of the corresponding column turns off the lamp of the corresponding column to indicate that the ticket has been released, and then the ticket is taken out.

At this time, the ticket printing apparatus 2 transmits a ticket release end signal to the central control apparatus 1 after the ticket is taken out, and the central control apparatus 1 determines whether ticket release of all columns selected by the user is finished. If the ticket release of all the columns is not finished, the same operation as described above is controlled to release the tickets of the selected plurality of columns sequentially.

Accordingly, when all ticket releases of the selected column are finished, the central control unit 1 calculates the release price, pays out the change if necessary to clear the change, erases the displayed input amount to 0, and sets the release information to the setting data storage device (7). ) And then turn off the releaseable column lamp of the releaseable column display unit 8 so as to be ready for release.

As described in detail above, in the present invention, when a plurality of columns to be purchased are sequentially selected and a corresponding amount of money is input, the tickets of the plurality of columns to be purchased are sequentially released at once, thereby eliminating user inconvenience and ticket release time. There is an effect that can be reduced.
