In addition, by providing various contents, it is possible to provide more useful and faster information to customers.

On the other hand, since general banking services are performed only within a certain time period (eg, 09: 30-16: 30), they do not sufficiently satisfy the customer's service needs. In order to solve this problem, some banks may operate a 24-hour cash in / out machine in a bank building or other building, thereby competing for services in response to the opening of the financial market. However, since the system is designed and built around a simple cash payment function, the quality of the service is quite low in terms of 24 hour banking.

In addition, although convenience stores, which are open 24 hours a day, are equipped with cash service devices (CDs, ATMs, etc.) provided by financial service providers, installation places for such devices are limited so that a user can secure a place for installing such devices. It is not so easy.

In addition, the cash service equipment (CD, ATM, etc.) is connected to the financial server by using a dedicated line, and when the user checks the availability of the credit card inputted by the user, the state is already connected to the financial server through the dedicated line. Should be

In addition, advances and changes in related technologies provide high-resolution image quality and shorter print times to meet the needs of consumers, thereby making it possible to access photographs at a faster time.

Many years ago, Polaroid's instant photo printing technology is very useful for us, an innovative technology aimed at the human desire to immediately see the picture just taken.

Moreover, recent advances in digital technology have given rise to sticker vending machines, enabling users to enjoy instant photos instantly.

In addition, with the advent of portable digital cameras, it is possible to take pictures at the required time regardless of time and place, and output desired pictures by connecting to a computer.

Meanwhile, a conventional product purchase using a gift certificate has been operated so that a consumer may purchase a gift certificate by paying a certain amount of money, and purchase a limited product or a limited product using the corresponding gift certificate.

On the other hand, service providers, including transport companies such as railways and express buses, catering companies such as cafes and restaurants, and performers such as theaters and theaters, can sell tickets directly to users or reserve tickets through reservations. Operate the service.

That is, when a user reserves a ticket and wants to receive it, the user must visit the operating place of the service provider or the ticket sales office indirectly operated by the service provider.

In addition, in the case of a reservation, when a user transmits information necessary for a reservation through a telephone and a facsimile, the service provider receives the reservation and reserves the ticket of the user in a uniform manner (serial number order or arbitrary order).

However, according to the conventional cash service device, a photo printing method, and a product purchase method and a ticket reservation method using a gift certificate, the following problems occur.

That is, in the case of a conventional cash service device, as the cash service device is limited to a specific place, the user has to invest a lot of time and effort to find a place where the cash service device is installed, and thus, it becomes inconvenient.

This results in a failure to sufficiently reflect the user's desire to photograph without being temporally and spatially constrained.

In addition, since a digital camera holder has to construct a system composed of a computer and a high resolution printer capable of outputting pictures in order to output images stored in the digital camera as a photo, an economic burden arises. Discomfort occurs because it has to move to the place where it is installed.

On the other hand, the conventional gift certificate is made of a paper material or similar material is easy to forgery / forgery of the gift certificate. Therefore, the higher the amount of the gift certificate, the more unfair acts such as counterfeiting of the gift certificate occur, which adversely affects commerce.

In addition, the conventional high-priced vouchers are mainly limited to department store vouchers, cultural vouchers, etc., which is limited to vouchers for selling a limited sales company or a limited product. Therefore, it is a factor that does not get high response to consumers.

In addition, the conventional gift certificate requires a place and human resources to sell the gift certificate. Therefore, it takes time to organize places and human resources, and it costs money.

In addition, conventional vouchers are extremely difficult to recycle because they are used only once when the amount is exhausted. Therefore, the cost of producing a gift certificate is excessive.

Meanwhile, the conventional ticket purchase method requires a user to visit a ticket office directly to purchase a ticket. In other words, when a large number of ticket sales offices are installed in various places for the convenience of the user, the burden of the service provider may be increased, and when the ticket sales offices are limited to a specific region in order to solve the burden of the service provider, Hassle and inconvenience that the user must find and visit the ticket office directly.

On the other hand, if a user wants to acquire the contents of articles or necessary information such as a newspaper or a magazine, he or she directly purchases the newspaper or magazine, or accesses the site of the newspaper and magazine by using a computer with internet access and downloads the necessary information. Or output. However, when a user directly purchases a newspaper or a magazine, the user incurs a purchase cost of the newspaper or a magazine, and when the user wants to acquire an article content of the newspaper or a magazine through the internet, a computer (wireless notebook, PDAs, palmtops, etc.) or the Internet must be accessed from where the computer is installed.

First, the cash withdrawal process of the MMK 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 10.

Initially, the sub controller 102 in the MMK 100 detects menu items of various contents that the MMK 100 can provide from the content memory 111 and displays them on the display unit 103 through the main controller 101.

Subsequently, when a cash withdrawal function is selected among menu items of the MMK 100 by the user (S101), the main controller 101 controls the modem 110 and the communication control unit 113 to operate the MMK 100 as a financial server ( 700 to control the connection (S102). Thereafter, the main controller 101 displays a message on the display unit 103 to inject a credit card (or cash card) to the user (S103). Accordingly, when the user inserts the credit card, the main controller 101 controls the credit card reader 107 to detect the information of the credit card inserted by the user (S104) and is detected by the credit card reader 107. The card information is transmitted to the financial server 700 through the communication network 600 to request the approval of the cash withdrawal transaction (S105).

If the financial server 700 does not approve the cash withdrawal transaction in this step (S105) (S106), the main controller 101 displays on the display unit 103 that the corresponding card is not available (S107). If the financial server 700 approves the cash withdrawal transaction in step S105 (S106), the main controller 101 displays the withdrawal amount input window on the display unit 103 (S108). Here, the screen information of the withdrawal amount input window may be stored in either the content memory 111 connected to the sub controller 102 or the program memory 109 connected to the main controller 101.

Subsequently, when a photo printing function is selected from the menu items of the MMK 100 by the user (S201), the main controller 101 displays a memory card selection screen for the user to select a type of memory card (S202). The user is requested to select a type of memory card (S203). As described above, the memory card may include a multimedia card (MMC), a smart media card (SMC), a memory stick (MS), a secure digital (SD), a micro drive (MD), a compact flash (CF), and a memory stick pro. There are many types, and each memory card is different in shape and size. Therefore, the memory card reader 301 must be able to accommodate all the above-mentioned types of memory cards, and the user must also accurately select the corresponding memory card owned by him on the memory card selection screen.

Thereafter, when the user selects a type of memory card and inserts the memory card into the memory card reader 301 (S204), the memory card reader 301 searches for the photo file stored in the memory card and opens the photo file. The main controller 101 displays the photo file opened by the memory card reader 301 on the display unit 103 (S205).

Thereafter, when the user selects at least one photo file to be output, the main controller 101 checks the input state of the input unit 104 to detect that at least one photo file is selected by the user (S206), and the corresponding photo. After calculating the cost for the output of the file is displayed on the display unit 103 and at the same time a message to insert the payment means is displayed on the display unit 103.

When the user inputs a payment method, the main controller 101 determines whether the payment method input by the user through the coin selector 105, the currency recognition unit 106, and the credit card reader 107 is a coin or money (bank). Or a credit card.
