Method and Apparatus for Controlling and Monitoring a Vending Machine

A solution comprising cost-effective methods and techniques for upgrading a traditional vending machine to a state-of-the-art vending machine with one or more of: mobile phone payment, telemetry, remote adjustment, graphical user interface, advertisement, intelligent energy management, hardware abstraction layer with common Application Programming Interface. A key aspect of this invention is that the original Vending Machine Controller board is not replaced in the vending machine and will still perform the normal vending operations as before. Another aspect of this invention is that the additional features are added to the vending machine at the processor level of the VMC board, by removing the original microcontroller on the VMC board and replacing it with an FPGA board or an electronic board, that can be plugged in the existing microcontroller socket on the VMC board, giving the application miming on the FPGA board or the electronic board access to all elements connected to the vending machine controller. The present invention uses In-Circuit Emulation techniques, modified emulated microcontroller peripherals, an emulated switch matrix circuit or a generic processor to add additional features to the vending machine at the processor level of the VMC board. The methods and techniques of the invention can be used to provide an abstraction layer above the underlying vending hardware with a common Application Programming Interface for controlling and monitoring the upgraded vending machine, to nm common interactive applications on different vending machine brands and types.

Upgrading method, device and upgrading equipment

The invention discloses an upgrading method and device and upgrading equipment, and belongs to the field of computers. The upgrading method comprises the steps that upgrading files corresponding to a plurality of to-be-upgraded versions higher than a current version are acquired; the to-be-upgraded version proximate to the current version is selected as a reference version, the upgrading file corresponding to the reference version is utilized, and the current version is upgraded to the reference version; on the basis of the reference version, the to-be-upgraded version proximate to the reference version is selected as the next reference version, and the reference version is upgraded to the next reference version till the reference version is upgraded to the target version which is the highest version among the to-be-upgraded versions. According to the upgrading method and device and the upgrading equipment, when the current version needs to be upgraded, the upgrading files corresponding to the to-be-upgraded versions higher than the current version can be directly acquired, the current version is gradually upgraded to the target version according to the acquired upgrading files without user validation, the upgrading process is simplified, and therefore the upgrading efficiency is improved.

Firmware upgrading method and apparatus of active capacitive stylus

The invention provides a firmware upgrading method and apparatus of an active capacitive stylus. The method comprises: a capacitive touch screen sending an upgrading command; the active capacitive stylus receiving and parsing the upgrading command, and feeding an acknowledgement signal back to the capacitive touch screen; the capacitive touch screen sending firmware data for upgrading; the active capacitive stylus receiving the firmware data, and after verification is passed, feeding an acknowledgement signal back to the capacitive touch screen; and the active capacitive stylus performing firmware upgrading with the verified firmware data, wherein the active capacitive stylus has a receiving unit and a sending unit that can separately form a coupling capacitor with the capacitive touch screen; the upgrading command and the firmware data for upgrading sent by the capacitive touch screen are received by the the active capacitive stylus in a capacitive coupling way by using the coupling capacitor formed by the receiving unit and the capacitive touch screen; and the active capacitive stylus feeds the corresponding acknowledgement signal back to the capacitive touch screen in the capacitive coupling way by using the coupling capacitor formed by the sending unit and the capacitive touch screen.
