Description

Vending machine system

The present invention relates to a vending machine system capable of performing processing such as payment using a print-type graphic code without imposing a burden on the user even if the vending machine is absent from the product seller.

Conventionally, vending machines that sell products using a graphic code such as a QR code (registered trademark) are known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a vending machine including a deposit unit for depositing money such as coins and a display unit for displaying a two-dimensional code including product information. In addition to depositing money such as coins to purchase a product, the vending machine can read the two-dimensional code by the mobile terminal of the user who intends to purchase the product and purchase the product.

Generally, there are two types of payment processing for product purchases using a graphic code such as a QR code (registered trademark): CPM (Consumer Presented Mode) method and MPM (Merchant Presented Mode) method. The CPM method is a method in which a user displays a graphic code displayed by a payment application on a mobile terminal, and a product seller scans and reads it with a code reader or the like. On the other hand, the MPM method is a method in which the user reads the graphic code displayed by the product sales side with a code reader or the like. When applying these methods to a vending machine, in the CPM method, it is necessary to provide a code reader for the vending machine to read the graphic code. On the other hand, in the MPM method, it is necessary to provide a code display unit such as dynamically displaying a graphic code on a liquid crystal display in a vending machine. In either case, it leads to an increase in cost and hinders the spread of vending machines capable of graphic code payment.

There is a print MPM (static MPM) method as a method that does not have a code display unit or a code reader and has a low introduction cost. In this print-type MPM method, after reading the graphic code posted in the store with the payment application of the user's mobile terminal, the user completes the payment by inputting the payment amount, and after the payment is completed, The clerk visually confirms the payment result. Since the graphic code of the print type MPM system includes the store information and does not include the price information of the product, it is not necessary to dynamically change the graphic code.

However, when this print-type MPM method is applied to a vending machine, it is difficult to apply the vending machine because there is no product seller who visually confirms the payment result. In addition, since the payment amount is entered by the user, the entered payment amount may be incorrect. Therefore, the payment by the print type MPM method could not be applied to the vending machine.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and even if the vending machine is absent from the product seller, it does not impose a burden on the user and performs processing such as payment using a print-type graphic code.
