In the lower portion of the operation unit 10, a portable storage medium drive unit 50 is provided so that the user can input the image data used for editing into the vending machine or copy the edited image data from the vending machine. In the portable storage medium drive unit 50, a memory card reader (MR), a floppy disk drive (FDD), a magneto optical disk drive (MOD), a CD and a CD- We used Compact Disk Player ("CDP") and Digital Variable Disk Player ("DVDP") that can read and write R media and CD-RW media. The invention can be practiced with any type of portable storage medium.

In addition, a print output unit 60 for printing and outputting the edited image is provided below the operation unit 10. In the embodiment of the present invention, the color inkjet printer P1 and the dye sublimation type color printer P2 are provided. Although the present invention is used, the present invention can be carried out by using any type of printer developed so far.

In addition, the body 1 stores the control unit 70, the memory 80, the operating software, the image editing software, and the edited image for controlling the operation of the above devices and editing the image image input by the user. The data storage unit 90 and the communication unit 100 for transmitting and receiving data by connecting to an information communication network such as the Internet is provided.

If the communication unit 100 is capable of transmitting and receiving data by connecting to an information communication network, the present invention may be implemented using any kind of communication equipment developed to date such as a modem or a channel service unit (CSU).

In addition, the present invention is connected to the control unit 70 through the communication unit 100 and the information communication network described above for the server computer 110 and the server computer 110 that can receive the image image edited by the user and transmitted to the server computer 110 And a card printer 120 for printing an image on a personal identification card or the like, and a plotter 130 for printing and outputting an image image having a relatively fine and large scale.

An operation example of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, when a user inputs a predetermined amount of money through the depositing unit 10 installed in the front of the vending machine, the amount of money input by the user is identified by the depositing unit 20 and the identification result is input to the control unit 70. .

According to the input amount identification result from the depositing unit 10, the control unit 70 permits the use if the input amount is a predetermined sales commitment amount, and does not permit the use if the input amount is less than the sales commitment amount.

If the user inputs the sales commitment amount, each function of the image image vending machine can be used.

For example, when inputting an image image such as a picture or a picture, a photo or picture is operated through a flatbed scanner (FBS) of the image input unit 30 by operating a keyboard K and a mouse input device M of the operation unit 10.
