El aparato contiene un dispositivo de juegos (como Nintendo), colocado en el cuerpo del aparato, y con el panel delantero del dispositivo de juegos y sus controles (salvo el interruptor del dispositivo de juegos) colocados en el panel delantero del aparato. El dispositivo de juegos se conecta con el sistema de control del aparato por una conexión de sentido único (el dispositivo de juegos, por medio de las señales del sistema de control, se enciende en el momento del inicio de la operación tecnológica y se apaga al terminar esa operación). Así, el comprador tiene la posibilidad de usar el dispositivo de juegos durante el tiempo de la ejecución de la operación tecnológica, es decir, durante el tiempo de espera para recibir el producto pagado. El dispositivo de juegos puede contener varios juegos diferentes, y el seleccionador de juegos debe estar colocado en el panel delantero del aparato. Esto le permite al comprador seleccionar el juego que es más interesante para él, lo que aumenta el atractivo del aparato adicionalmente.Example 1. As an example of the application of the technical solution offered, we are going to consider a device for selling pizza. The apparatus contains a body in which there is a product warehouse supplied with a refrigerator, a device for the execution of the technological operation that includes a microwave oven and a transport system for transporting the product portion of the tank to the microwave oven , and after retaining the product inside the microwave oven for a certain time (approximately one minute), to transport the product from the microwave oven to the delivery window. In the body there is also a payment receiver that includes a device for receiving money and / or credit cards and / or special tokens, and also a payment return device or its part, with the corresponding windows placed in the front panel of the device. The device contains a control system placed in the body of the device and connected to the payment receiver and the device for the execution of the technological operation. The device contains a game device (such as Nintendo), placed on the body of the device, and with the front panel of the game device and its controls (except the game device switch) placed on the front panel of the device. The gaming device is connected to the control system of the device by a one-way connection (the gaming device, by means of the control system signals, turns on at the time of the start of the technological operation and turns off at the finish that operation). Thus, the buyer has the possibility of using the gaming device during the time of the execution of the technological operation, that is, during the waiting time to receive the paid product. The game device may contain several different games, and the game selector must be placed on the front panel of the device. This allows the buyer to select the game that is most interesting to him, which increases the attractiveness of the device further.
Ejemplo 2. El aparato para la venta de hamburguesas. El aparato contiene un cuerpo en el que hay un depósito del producto abastecido con un refrigerador, un dispositivo para la ejecución de la operación tecnológica que incluye un horno de microondas, un dispositivo para la introducción de componentes adicionales al producto vendido (salsa, mostaza, etc.), y un sistema de transporte para transportar la porción del producto del deposito al horno de microondas, y después del retenimiento del producto dentro del horno de microondas durante cierto tiempo, para transportar el producto preparado del horno de microondas a la ventana de entrega. En el cuerpo hay también un receptor de pago que incluye un dispositivo para la recepción de dinero y/o de tarjetas de crédito y/o de fichas especiales, y también un dispositivo de devolución de pago o su parte, y con las ventanas correspondientes colocadas en el panel delantero del aparato. El aparato contiene un sistema del control colocado en el cuerpo del aparato y conectado con el receptor del pago y el dispositivo para la ejecución de la operación tecnológica. El aparato contiene un dispositivo de juegos con juegos de tipo 1 (Nintendo) o de tipo 2 Ouegos de dinero, electrónicos o electromecánicos, por ejemplo, la ruleta, juegos de cartas, etc.). El dispositivo de juegos esta colocado en el cuerpo del aparato, y con el panel delantero del dispositivo de juegos y sus controles (salvo el interruptor del dispositivo de juegos) colocados en el panel delantero del aparato. El dispositivo de juegos está conectado con el sistema de control del aparato. Igual que antes el dispositivo de juegos se enciende con las señales del sistema de control en el momento del comienzo de la operación tecnológica, y le permite al comprador participar en el juego apretando teclas de control del dispositivo de juegos, colocadas en el panel delantero. Sin embargo, a diferencia del dispositivo descrito en el Ejemplo 1, la conexión entre el dispositivo de juegos y el sistema de control del aparato es ahora bidireccional. Esto le permite al sistema de control recibir una señal del dispositivo de juegos, que corresponde al resultado del juego, por ejemplo, el número de los puntos ganados en los juegos de tipo 1 (un número o combinación de caracteres en los juegos de tipo 2). El sistema de control compara la señal recibida con los valores especificados de antemano y determina a qué corresponde el resultado del juego. El resultado del juego puede ser una victoria, una victoria parcial o una pérdida. Independientemente del resultado del juego el aparato le da el producto pagado al comprador. En caso de la victoria o de la victoria parcial, el sistema del control produce una señal en el dispositivo de recepción de dinero sobre la necesidad de devolver al comprador todo el pago o su parte. La versión alternativa de realización de una victoria es que el sistema de control produce una señal especial en el dispositivo para la ejecución de la operación tecnológica. Habiendo recibido esta señal, el dispositivo para la ejecución de la operación tecnológica transporta un producto adicional del deposito a la ventana de entrega (por ejemplo, una porción adicional del producto, o un producto de otro tipo, como una lata de Coca-cola, un dije, etc.). Después de la ejecución de estas operaciones, el sistema de control apaga el dispositivo de juegos. A continuación el aparato funciona de la misma manera como en el Ejemplo 1. Tal diseño aumenta aun más el interés del comprador, le entretiene durante el tiempo de la ejecución de la operación tecnológica, lo que permite aumentar considerablemente el tiempo permisible para la ejecución de la operación tecnológica, y por consiguiente, aumentar el surtido del producto vendido.Example 2. The device for selling hamburgers. The apparatus contains a body in which there is a deposit of the product supplied with a refrigerator, a device for the execution of the technological operation that includes a microwave oven, a device for the introduction of additional components to the product sold (sauce, mustard, etc.), and a transport system for transporting the product portion of the I deposit in the microwave, and after the product is retained in the microwave for a certain time, to transport the prepared product from the microwave to the delivery window. In the body there is also a payment receiver that includes a device for receiving money and / or credit cards and / or special tokens, and also a payment return device or its part, and with the corresponding windows placed on the front panel of the device. The device contains a control system placed in the body of the device and connected to the payment receiver and the device for the execution of the technological operation. The device contains a gaming device with type 1 (Nintendo) or type 2 games Money, electronic or electromechanical games, for example, roulette, card games, etc.). The game device is placed on the body of the device, and with the front panel of the game device and its controls (except the game device switch) placed on the front panel of the device. The gaming device is connected to the control system of the device. As before, the gaming device is switched on with the signals from the control system at the time of the start of the technological operation, and allows the buyer to participate in the game by pressing control keys of the gaming device, placed on the front panel. However, unlike the device described in Example 1, the connection between the gaming device and the control system of the apparatus is now bidirectional. This allows the control system to receive a signal from the game device, which corresponds to the outcome of the game, for example, the number of points won in type 1 games (a number or combination of characters in type 2 games ). The control system compares the received signal with the values specified in advance and determines what the game result corresponds to. The result of the game can be a victory, a partial victory or a loss. Regardless of the outcome of the game, the device gives the product paid to the buyer. In case of victory or partial victory, the control system produces a signal in the money receiving device about the need to return the entire payment or its share to the buyer. The alternative version of realizing a victory is that the control system produces a special signal in the device for the execution of the technological operation. Having received this signal, the device for the execution of the technological operation transports an additional product from the warehouse to the window of delivery (for example, an additional portion of the product, or a product of another type, such as a can of Coke, a pen, etc.). After the execution of these operations, the control system turns off the gaming device. The device then operates in the same manner as in Example 1. Such a design further increases the interest of the buyer, entertains him during the time of the execution of the technological operation, which allows considerably increasing the allowable time for the execution of the technological operation, and therefore, increase the assortment of the product sold.
Un generador de números al azar puede ser introducido en el dispositivo de juegos. Este generador permite hacer casual la victoria, e independientemente de lo bien que ha jugado el comprador. En este caso es también posible poner el juego en un régimen automático (sin el envolvimiento del comprador, el que en este caso puede sólo observar el proceso del juego). A random number generator can be introduced into the gaming device. This generator allows casual victory, and regardless of how well the buyer has played. In this case it is also possible to put the game in an automatic mode (without the involvement of the buyer, who in this case can only observe the game process).
