Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only the embodiments of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained according to the provided drawings without creative efforts.

[0023] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of this embodiment. Detailed Embodiments

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method and a vending machine for a vending machine: applied to a vending machine, the control method includes:

[0026] Acquire the consumption card information and the portrait information of the user;

[0027] Through the acquisition module, acquire the portrait information of the user, and compare the portrait information with the portrait information at the time of consumption card registration.

[0028] Confirm that the user is not the registrant of the consumption card;

[0029] After comparison, the system determines that this user is not the registered owner of the consumption card and proceeds with the subsequent verification or authorization process.

[0030] Receive the verification information input by the user;

[0031] The vending machine displays a prompt message on the touch screen, guiding the user to write text, numbers, or take a screenshot of a portrait on the touch screen.

[0032] Send the verification information to the registered owner of the consumption card;

[0033] Send the above verification information to the registered owner of the consumption card, and the sending methods include but are not limited to text messages, multimedia messages, or mini-program messages.

[0034] Receive the verification information sent by the registered owner;

[0035] After receiving the above verification information, the registered owner of the consumption card conducts identification and confirmation on whether to authorize the consumption card for this user. If the registered owner authorizes and confirms, and sends a message to the vending machine.

[0036] Allow the consumption card to be recognized by the vending machine.

[0037] After receiving the authorization confirmation information from the registered owner of the consumption card, the vending machine lifts the consumption restriction on this card, allowing the consumption card to be recognized by the vending machine and enabling consumption and shopping.

[0038] In this embodiment, after receiving the verification information sent by the registered owner, allow the consumption card to be recognized by the vending machine within a preset time.

[0039] The registered owner of the consumption card can set the usage time of the consumption card during the authorization stage, such as 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or 20 minutes, etc. After exceeding the above preset time, the consumption card cannot be recognized by the vending machine. If the user wants to continue using the consumption card, they need to verify again.

[0040] In this embodiment, the registered owner can send a suspension message to the vending machine, and the vending machine immediately stops recognizing the consumption card.

[0041] In addition to setting the usage time of the consumption card in the above verification process, the registered owner of the consumption card can also set a preset usage time for the consumption card at any time through text messages, multimedia messages, or mini-program messages, etc.

[0042] In this embodiment, monitor the user's actions and close the cabinet door.

[0043] During the process of user consumption and shopping, the vending machine records videos and audios throughout the whole process, and after receiving the preset time of the consumer card registrant, it reminds the user before the preset time arrives and closes the cabinet door of the vending machine on time.

[0044] In this embodiment, the registrant can send information to the vending machine to extend the preset time.

[0045] Of course, for the usage time of the consumer card, the preset time control can be set in the early authorization stage, or it can be restricted at any subsequent time.

[0046] In this embodiment, the vending machine generates electronic information after the user uses the consumer card and sends the information to the registrant.

[0047] For the bills generated during the user's consumption process, after generating electronic information, they are sent to the mobile terminal of the consumer card registrant to facilitate them to timely learn about the consumption situation of the consumer card.

[0048] In this embodiment, the registrant can send information to the vending machine to set the preset value of the single consumption amount.

[0049] Of course, the consumer card registrant can also set the preset value of the user's consumption amount, such as 100 yuan, 200 yuan, or 500 yuan, etc.

[0050] According to another vending machine provided by the embodiment of the present application, it includes:

[0051] An acquisition module, used to acquire the portrait information of the user

[0052] A communication module, used to send information to the registrant or receive the information sent by the registrant;

[0053] An identification module, used for the vending machine to identify the consumer card.
