Abstract
Description
One embodiment of the present invention relates to a vending machine management system using a load cell capable of improving the management efficiency of a vending machine.
In order to manage and operate the vending machine, the vending machine manager directly visits the place where the vending machine is installed and confirms the condition of the vending machine, and confirms the remaining amount of the product, which is costly and time consuming for the inspection. However, vending machines are installed scattered widely over a wide area such as a park outside the building, a subway station or a public place.
In particular, the owner of a vending machine manages a vending machine distributed in various areas ranging from the metropolitan area to the local area. Therefore, it is practically very difficult to visit the vending machine in every region where the vending machine is installed and manage the vending machine .
Recently, there is a system that can transmit vending machine information such as inventory status information, failure status information, and sales history information for each product of the vending machine to a manager server located at a remote place through a modem provided in the vending machine periodically by using a wired data communication network .
However, even though the vending machine remote management system is in a state where there is not enough inventory or malfunction in the vending machine, since the session is established and the corresponding data is transmitted in order to continuously transmit data to the manager server located at the remote place, And a cost for data transmission is generated.
In addition, even when an abnormal signal is not generated in the vending machine, the data is continuously transmitted, which is inconvenient for the administrator to frequently check.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a load cell is used to measure remaining amount and height information of a product included in an automatic sales terminal and transmit the real amount to a manager, Management system.
The vending machine management system using a load cell according to an embodiment of the present invention includes first information including goods weight information and residual quantity status information for each product, second information including sales cost information and payment information for each product, And generating an information request signal including the random number information through a user operation for requesting the first information and the second information; Wherein when the random number information and the authentication information are matched with each other when the information request signal is received from the management server, Generating first information on the basis of the measured weight information by measuring the weight, collecting sales and settlement information on the measured weight and generating second information, and transmitting the authentication information, the first information, And an automatic sales terminal for transmitting the second information to the management server.
The vending machine management system using the present load cell further includes an administrator terminal connected to the management server through a wired / wireless communication network, and the management server can transmit the first information and the second information to the administrator terminal at the request of the administrator terminal have.
The first information and the second information may include a first unique identification code for each product, and the authentication information may include second unique identification code information for each vending terminal.
Wherein the management server comprises: a communication module for transmitting / receiving data to / from the manager terminal or the automated teller machine; A registration module for registering terminal information for authentication with the manager terminal or the automatic sales terminal; A random number generation module for generating random number information corresponding to authentication information transmitted from the administrator terminal by a predetermined encryption program; A signal generation module for generating an information request signal including the random number information for requesting the first information and the second information; An information transmission module for transmitting the authentication information, the random number information, the first information and the second information to the manager terminal or the automated teller machine; A storage module for storing the authentication information, the random number information, the encryption program, the first information, and the second information; An information notification module for outputting a situation coping signal for the automated teller machine based on the first information and the second information; And a control module for controlling the operation of each component constituting the rental management server.
Wherein the automated teller terminal comprises: a communication unit for transmitting and receiving data with the management server; An information input unit for inputting authentication information by a user; An information matching unit for matching the random number information with the authentication information; A weight measuring unit for measuring a weight of each of the plurality of products; A first information generating unit for collecting goods weight information and remaining amount status information for each product on the basis of the measured weight information for each of the plurality of goods to generate first information; A second information generation unit for collecting sales cost information and payment information for each product to generate second information; An authentication information generating unit for dividing each area of the display unit by a user's operation, setting different variables for the divided areas, and generating authentication information of a desired number of digits through a combination of the respective variables; A memory unit for storing the authentication information, the random number information, the first information, and the second information; An advertisement output unit for outputting advertisement information transmitted from the rental management server; A display unit that displays data transmitted and received by the communication unit, and displays the first information and the second information when the random number information matches the authentication information; And a second controller for controlling the operation of each component constituting the automated teller machine.
The weight measuring unit may include a strain gauging type load cell.
Since the vending machine management system using the load cell according to the embodiment of the present invention measures the remaining amount and the enhancement information of the goods included in the automatic sales terminal using the load cell and transmits the information to the manager in real time, Can be improved.
In addition, an embodiment of the present invention can provide a separate display on the automated teller machine to output the remaining amount and enhancement information of the products included in the automatic teller machine, measured using the load cell.
Also, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the administrator frequently does not need to check the remaining amount information for each automatic sales terminal and each product by individually opening the automatic sales terminal.
