Abstract

A vending machine management system includes a network; a plurality of vending machines, which are connected with the network, and a maintenance terminal. Each of the plurality of vending machines transmits a trouble data indicative of a trouble to a selling of articles stocked in the trouble occurring vending machine. The maintenance terminal receives the trouble data from the vending machine, and displays an operation state data indicative of a state of the trouble occurring vending machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic vending machine management system. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a system for performing remote maintenance of vending machines on a network has been established. However, the conventional automatic vending machines described above have the following problems. First, communication costs are expensive and vending machines cannot be accessed quickly when detailed information is required. Therefore, when the vending machines increase, the vending machines cannot be managed. In addition, items to be stored in conventional vending machines must be prepared based on past experience, and excessive items are delivered to the vending machine. In addition, failure detection of the vending machine and repair of the vending machine must be performed at the installation location of the vending machine. This takes longer to repair, resulting in a lost opportunity to sell the item. [0003] Furthermore, conve...
