Description

얼음 음료 제공이 가능한 스마트 벤딩 머신Smart Bending Machine with Ice Drink
본 발명은 얼음 음료 제공이 가능한 스마트 벤딩 머신(vending machine)에 관한 것이다. 보다 상세하게는, 종래의 자동 판매기에 없던 제빙장치를 탑재하고 휴대용 단말기와의 통신을 통해 사용성을 확장시킨 벤딩 머신에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a smart bending machine (vending machine) capable of providing an ice drink. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bending machine equipped with an ice making device, which was not available in a conventional vending machine, and extending usability through communication with a portable terminal.
전세계적으로 커피 문화가 자리잡으면서, 식후에 커피 한 잔을 즐기기 위하여 음료 매장을 찾는 사람들의 모습을 흔하게 볼 수 있다. 그런데, 점심 시간 등 특정 시간대에는 구매자가 많아 매장 대기 시간이 길어지는 경우가 있고, 또는 주변에 매장이 없어 음료를 구매하기 힘든 경우가 있다. 이러한 경우에 음료의 자동 판매기, 즉, 벤딩 머신이 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.With the culture of coffee all over the world, it's common to see people visiting beverage outlets to enjoy a cup of coffee after a meal. By the way, there are a lot of buyers at a certain time, such as lunch time, the waiting time of the store may be long, or there is a case that there is no shop nearby to buy a drink. In this case a vending machine for the beverage, i. E. A bending machine, may be usefully utilized.
커피 등 음료의 판매를 위한 종래의 벤딩 머신은, 온수탱크와 원료를 내장하고 이를 혼합하여 음료를 제공하는 데에 그치고 있어, 얼음이 포함된 음료는 벤딩 머신을 통해 이용하기 어려웠다. 또한, 최근에는 정보기술의 발전에 힘입어 사용자들의 주된 소비 공간도 오프라인(offine) 매장으로부터 온라인(online)으로 그 영역을 옮겨가고 있는데, 벤딩 머신의 경우에는 동전이나 지폐를 투입하고 음료를 제공받는 종래의 형태에서 눈에 띄는 발전을 보이고 있지 못한 실정이다.Conventional bending machines for the sale of beverages, such as coffee, the hot water tank and the raw materials are built-in and mixed only to provide a drink, it is difficult to use a beverage containing ice through the bending machine. Recently, with the development of information technology, the main consumption space of users is also moving from offline stores to online.In the case of bending machines, coins or bills are supplied and drinks are served. There is no visible development in the conventional form.
정보기술이 적용된 종래의 벤딩 머신의 예로, 공개실용신안공보 제20-2014-0002156호는 커피 자판기에 모니터를 구비하여 영상 광고를 제공하는 것을 개시한다. 그러나, 공개실용신안공보 제20-2014-0002156호에 개시된 기술은 기저장된 광고를 일방적으로 화면에 노출시키는 것에 불과하므로, 커피를 구매하는 구매자의 사용성에 있어서 기존과 차이가 없으며, 광고를 단순 출력한다고 하여 사용자의 관심이나 추가 구매를 유발하기는 어려운 한계가 있다.As an example of a conventional bending machine to which information technology is applied, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2014-0002156 discloses providing a video advertisement with a monitor in a coffee machine. However, since the technique disclosed in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2014-0002156 merely exposes previously stored advertisements to the screen, there is no difference in the usability of buyers purchasing coffee, and the advertisement is simply output. However, it is difficult to induce user's attention or additional purchase.
