Increasing the consumption of reflow is an ideal invention.

The invention relates to an interactive unmanned vending machine device, in particular to a vending device with a feedback mechanism, which can enhance consumers' willingness to purchase. It mainly consists of software that interacts with consumers in the vending device, and can be used for interactive games, feedback amount transmission and message transmission through handheld devices, and can add fun and attraction when purchasing drinks, foods or articles. At the same time, the feedback system provides the feedback amount for the user to connect with the vending device through the handheld device, for example, shaking the mobile phone, wirelessly transmitting, etc., to play the game, and the bonus or score generated by the game can be generated. It is stored in the consumer's e-wallet, which enables consumers to add other added value and interactive fun while purchasing, and effectively enhance consumers' willingness to purchase.

In use, the coin is first put into the vending device, and the vending device is a box having an accommodation space for placing goods to be sold, such as drinks, food or articles, which can be selected by the display screen. After the product is purchased, the feedback system automatically returns a fixed amount of money. At this time, the user can connect with the interactive software through the handheld device, for example, shaking the mobile phone, and using the feedback amount to provide an interactive screen. Games, when the game is over, you can store the bonuses or scores generated by the game in the consumer's electronic wallet as the purchase price or points for the next purchase, so the consumer not only simply purchases goods, but also adds other The added value, in addition to giving back the discounts to consumers, adds to the fun of interacting with the vending machine, and the retained rewards of shopping or points can effectively attract consumers to purchase again, which is an ideal interactive Unmanned vending machine installation.
