Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] <Overview of Embodiments of the Present Invention> The overview of the embodiments of the present invention will be described. The articles supplied by the article supply device are regularly replaced, and the supply price is changed according to the replaced articles. Accordingly, the administrator who manages the article supply device changes the supply price of the articles displayed on the article supply device. Further, the administrator sets the supply price, which is the settlement amount detected by the article supply device, in the article supply device. The displayed supply price displayed on the article supply device and the set supply price set in the article supply device must be the same.

[0010] For example, if a display screen such as a liquid crystal display is provided on the article supply device and the set supply price is displayed on the display screen in association with the displayed supply price, it is possible to prevent a discrepancy between the set supply price and the displayed supply price. However, since the article supply devices are intended to be installed in large numbers in various locations including outdoors, they are designed to have a simple structure in consideration of the installation cost, installation location, maintenance, etc. of the article supply devices, and to keep the costs down. Therefore, it is desirable that the article supply device does not have a display such as a liquid crystal composed of electronic components or the like that can display the supply price, the set supply price, etc. Then, the display unit for the supply price becomes mechanical, and it is difficult to display the set supply price, which is set for settlement, as the displayed supply price in (electrically) association with the article supply device. Therefore, a method of notifying the set supply price in a form that can be recognized by an administrator or the like from the outside of the article supply device is desired in order to confirm whether the displayed supply price displayed on the article supply device matches the set supply price. In the following description, an article supply device will be described that notifies the set supply price in a form different from the display form of the displayed supply price displayed on the article supply device, for example, a display form that numerically displays the type and number of coins (money) that are the cost of the article.

[0011] <First Embodiment> The first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an article supply device system according to this embodiment. The article supply system is composed of an article supply device 1 and a server 2, and the article supply device 1 and the server 2 are connected by a communication network.

[0012] The article supply device 1 of this embodiment accommodates a plurality of articles 3 and is a device that randomly supplies one article from the plurality of accommodated articles. The user receives the supply of article 3 from the article supply device 1 by inserting money equivalent to the supply price displayed on the article supply device 1 into the article supply device 1.

[0013] As described above, since the article supply device 1 is intended to be installed in large numbers in various locations including outdoors, it is made to have a simple structure in consideration of the installation cost, installation location, maintenance, etc. of the article supply device 1, and the cost is also suppressed. Therefore, unlike a general vending machine, the article supply device 1 is structured such that no change is given even if an amount exceeding the supply price of the article is inserted. That is, in the article supply device 1, the types of money that can be used are predetermined, and the article supply device 1 sorts the types of money inserted and counts the number of the sorted money, and thus has a structure that detects that the money equivalent to the supply price (settlement amount) has been inserted and supplies the article. In this embodiment, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, an example is given in which the type of money that can be used in the article supply device 1 is a 100-yen coin, but it goes without saying that it is not limited to this. For example, it may be configured to be able to use a combination of 500-yen coins and 100-yen coins. The server 2 is a management device that performs various settings of the article supply device 1 via a communication network.

[0014] The article 3 includes, for example, those in which a toy or the like is stored in a dividable spherical capsule, or those in which a toy and a capsule are integrated. The article 3 is not limited to only one type of article, and there may be a plurality of types of articles. In this case, the plurality of types of articles are mixed and accommodated in the article accommodation section 11 described later as articles belonging to one series (type). In this embodiment, an example is given in which the supply price of the article 3 is 300 yen, but it goes without saying that it is not limited to this.

[0015] FIG. 2 is a front view of the article supply device 1 in the first embodiment of the present invention. The article supply device 1 is provided with an article storage section 11, an article description display section 12, a supply price display section 13, a notification section 14, a coin insertion slot 15, a coin return operation section 16, and a coin return slot 17.

[0016] The article storage section 11 stores articles 3. An article description display section 12 is provided on the front surface of the article storage section 11, and displays article information of the article 3 stored in the article storage section 11. When the article 3 stored in the article storage section 11 is changed, the article information shown on the article description display section 12 is also changed. The article information includes the product name of the article, the description information of the article, and the description image of the article.

[0017] The supply price display section 13 displays supply price information regarding the supply price of the article 3. The supply price display section 13 is composed of a type display section 131 and a number display section 132. In the following description, the supply price information displayed on the supply price display section 13 is referred to as display supply price information.

[0018] The type display section 131 is a display body on which the types of coins that can be used in the article supply device 1 are printed. As described above, since the only type of coin that can be used in the article supply device 1 of the present embodiment is a 100-yen coin, a display body marked "100-yen coin" is arranged in the article supply device 1 as the type display section 131.

[0019] The number display section 132 is composed of a rotating member (rotating member) on which a plurality of numbers are printed and a transparent member that covers the rotating member. The plurality of numbers are the required number of coins. The rotating member is arranged in the vicinity of the type display section 131. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the number display section 132 is arranged directly below the type display section 131. When the article 3 is replaced, the administrator moves the rotating member to set the number of coins so as to match the supply price of the replaced article 3. In the present embodiment, since the supply price of the article 3 is 300 yen and the only coin that can be used in the article supply device 1 is a 100-yen coin, as shown in FIG. 1, the rotating member of the number display section 132 is rotated so that "3 pieces" is displayed.

[0020] The notification unit 14 notifies the set supply price information set in the supply device 1. The notification unit 14 is composed of a light-emitting element such as an LED, and the light-emitting element is provided near the rotating member (supply price display unit 13) of the number display unit 132. By providing the notification unit 14 near the supply price display unit 13, it is possible to visually and easily confirm the coincidence between the supply price displayed on the supply price display unit 13 and the supply price set for settlement. The light of the light-emitting element can be visually recognized through the transparent member of the number display unit 132. Although the type and number of the colors of the light-emitting elements are not limited, in this embodiment, an example in which a red light-emitting element and a green light-emitting element are arranged will be used for explanation. The coin insertion slot 15 is a part where the user inserts coins to be paid as a price for receiving the supply of goods.

[0021] The coin return operation unit 16 is a push button for returning the coins inserted from the coin insertion slot 15 and stored in the coin temporary storage unit to the user. Further, when the pressing (pushing) of the coin return operation unit 16 continues for a predetermined time, the notification unit 14 starts notifying the set supply price information.

[0022] Subsequently, the configuration of the article supply device 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the article supply device 1. The article supply device 1 includes a setting unit 21, an operation detection unit 22, a coin discrimination unit 23, and a notification unit 24.

[0023] The setting unit 21 has a function of setting supply price information. In the following description, the supply price information set in the setting unit 21 is referred to as set supply price information. The set supply price information includes the types of coins and the number of coins that satisfy the supply price. The types of coins in the set supply price information are also the available coins. The setting in the setting unit 21 may be configured such that the administrator of the article supply device 1 manually sets it, or it may be configured to be set from the server 2 that can communicate with the article supply device 1, either is acceptable.

[0024] The operation detection unit 22 detects the pressing of the coin return operation unit 16. When the pressing of the coin return operation unit 16 is continuously performed for a predetermined time (hereinafter referred to as "long pressing for a predetermined time"), the operation detection unit 23 notifies the notification unit 24 that it has detected the long pressing.

[0025] The coin discrimination unit 23 discriminates the type of the coin inserted from the coin insertion slot 15 and counts the number of coins, thereby determining whether the money that satisfies the set supply price has been inserted. When a coin other than a usable coin is inserted, the coin discrimination unit 21 returns it to the coin return port 17 through a return chute (not shown). When a usable coin is inserted, the coin discrimination unit 21 stores it in a coin temporary storage unit (not shown) for each type of coin and counts the number of coins. In the present embodiment, since the usable coin is a 100-yen coin and the supply price is 300 yen, the coin discrimination unit 21 determines that three 100-yen coins are inserted. When the coins stored in the coin temporary storage unit reach the money that satisfies the supply price, the operation of supplying an article becomes possible. When the user performs the operation of supplying an article, the coins stored in the coin temporary storage unit move to a coin storage unit (not shown), and the structure is such that they will not be returned even if the coin return operation unit 16 is operated.

[0026] The notification unit 24 is the above-described notification unit 14. When the operation detection unit 23 notifies that a long press for a predetermined time has been detected in the coin return operation unit 16, control is executed to cause the light emitting unit to emit light in order to notify the set supply price information, which is the type of coin and the number of coins that satisfy the supply price. The notification of the set supply price information in the notification unit 24 is controlled such that the green light emitting elements blink the number of times corresponding to the number of coins for each type of coin. The notification unit 24 notifies the set supply price information after performing a pre-notification. The pre-notification is performed prior to notifying the number of coins for each type of coin, and when notifying the number of coins of multiple types of coins, it indicates the separation. For example, when multiple types of usable coins are set, after performing the pre-notification, the number of coins of the first type is notified, and then after performing the pre-notification again, the number of coins of the second type is notified, and so on, for each type of usable coin. The method of the pre-notification is, for example, when there is one type of light emitting element, the light emitting element is turned on for a predetermined time, and when there are multiple types of light emitting elements, a light emitting element of a color different from the light emitting element used for notifying the number of coins blinks, and by changing the lighting method of the light emitting element, changing the color of the light emitting element, or combining these, the pre-notification and the notification of the number of coins can be distinguished. In the following description, the notification unit 24 will be described using an example in which control is performed to blink the red light emitting element twice as the pre-notification.

[0027] The order of the types of coins for which the notification unit 24 notifies the number of coins is set in advance, such as in descending order of the number of digits indicated by the coins or in ascending order of the number of digits indicated by the coins. In the present embodiment, since there is only one type of usable coin, which is a 100-yen coin, the number of types of coins notified by the notification unit 24 is also one type. Subsequently, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation in the present embodiment.

[0028] The operation detection unit 22 detects the operation of the coin return operation unit 16 (Step 201). When the operation detection unit 22 detects a long press for a predetermined time (Step 202: Yes), it notifies the notification unit 24 (Step 203). The notification unit 24 controls the light-emitting element based on the set supply price information and notifies the set supply price information (Step 204). When the operation detection unit 22 detects an operation within a predetermined time (Step 202 No), it executes coin return (Step 205).

[0029] Here, an example of the notification control of the notification unit 24 will be described using the timeline of FIG. 5. The timeline of FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the light-emitting element that emits light and the passage of time. In the following description, the display of the number display unit 132 is set to 3, and the set supply price information of the setting unit 21 is assumed to be that 3 one-hundred-yen coins have already been set by the administrator for explanation purposes.

[0030] When the notification unit 24 receives a notification from the operation detection unit 23 (at the 0-second point of the timeline), it starts a warning notification. In the warning notification, the red light-emitting element blinks twice (in the warning notification section of the timeline).

[0031] Subsequently, the set supply price information is notified. In the notification of the set supply price information, the green light-emitting element is configured to blink the number of times corresponding to the number of each type of coin. Here, since there is only one type of usable coin, which is a one-hundred-yen coin, the number of one-hundred-yen coins is notified. Since 3 one-hundred-yen coins are set in the set supply price information, the green light-emitting element blinks 3 times (in the 100-yen coin number notification section of the timeline).

[0032] As described above, the displayed article supply price shown on the article supply device 1 does not display the set article supply price set in the article supply device 1, but is manually set by the administrator. According to the article supply device 1 of the present embodiment, the notification unit 14 blinks the light emitting elements by the number of required pieces for each type of coin to notify the set supply price, and the consistency with the manually set displayed article supply price can be confirmed. That is, since it is configured to notify the set supply price information in a notification format different from the display format of the display supply price information, it is possible to prevent the inconsistency between the supply price displayed on the article supply device and the supply price set in the article supply device. Further, in the present embodiment, since the notification unit 14 is located in the vicinity of the supply price display unit 13, it is easy to confirm the consistency between the displayed supply price and the set supply price.

[0033] <Modification Example 1> In the above embodiment, an example in which the type of coin that can be used in the article supply device 1 is one type of 100-yen coin has been described. In this Modification Example 1, an example in which the types of coins that can be used are multiple types will be described. In this modification example, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, an example in which the types of money that can be used in the article supply device 1 are two types, a 500-yen coin and a 100-yen coin, will be described, but it goes without saying that it is not limited to this. Incidentally, the same reference numerals are given to the constituent parts similar to those in the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0034] FIG. 6 is a front view of the article supply device 1 in this Modification Example 1. It is different from the above embodiment in that the number of display bodies of the type display unit 131 and the number of rotating members of the number display unit 132 are arranged according to the number of types of money that can be used.

[0035] Since the types of coins that can be used by the type display unit 131 are two types, a 500-yen coin and a 100-yen coin, as shown in FIG. 4, display bodies marked with "500-yen coin" and "100-yen coin" are arranged side by side.

[0036] The number display unit 132 is arranged such that the same number of rotating members as the types of coins are paired with the display bodies of the type display unit 131. The administrator moves the rotating members paired with the types of coins and sets the number of coins for each type of coin so as to match the supply price of the article 3. In this first modification example, since the supply price of the article 3 is 300 yen, as shown in FIG. 4, the rotating member paired with the display body marked "500 yen coin" is set to "0 pieces", and the rotating member paired with the display body marked "100 yen coin" is set to "3 pieces".

[0037] FIG. 7 is a timeline in this first modification example. In the following description, it is assumed that the set supply price information of the setting unit 21 has already been set by the administrator to "0 pieces of 500 yen coins and 3 pieces of 100 yen coins". Also, it is assumed that the order of the types of coins for which the notification unit 24 notifies the number of coins is predetermined to be in the order of decreasing number of digits indicated by the coins, that is, the number of 500 yen coins and the number of 100 yen coins.

[0038] When the notification unit 24 receives a notification from the operation detection unit 23 (at the 0 - second point of the timeline), it starts a pre - notification. In the pre - notification, the red light - emitting element blinks twice (in the pre - notification section of the timeline).

[0039] Subsequently, it notifies the set supply price information. First, it notifies the number of 500 yen coins. Since 0 pieces of 500 yen coins are set in the set supply price information, the green light - emitting element does not emit light (in the 500 yen coin number notification section of the timeline).

[0040] Furthermore, the notification unit 24 emits light from the red light - emitting body to perform a pre - notification (the second pre - notification). Subsequently, since 3 pieces of 100 yen coins are set in the set supply price information, the green light - emitting element blinks three times (in the 100 yen coin number notification section of the timeline).

[0041] As described above, the displayed article supply price shown on the article supply device 1 does not display the set article supply price set in the article supply device 1, but is manually set by the administrator. According to the article supply device 1 of the present embodiment, the notification unit 14 blinks the light emitting elements by the number of required pieces for each type of coin to notify the set supply price, and it is possible to confirm the consistency with the manually set displayed article supply price. That is, since it is configured to notify the set supply price information in a notification format different from the display format of the display supply price information, it is possible to prevent inconsistencies between the supply price displayed on the article supply device and the supply price set in the article supply device. Further, in the present embodiment, since the notification unit 14 is located in the vicinity of the supply price display unit 13, it is easy to confirm the consistency between the displayed supply price and the set supply price.

[0042] <Modification Example 2> In the above Modification Example 1, the notification unit 24 gave a preliminary notification prior to notifying the number of coins for each type of coin. In this modification example, the case where the notification unit 24 gives an end notification will be described. In this modification example, as in Modification Example 1, an example in which there are two types of money that can be used in the article supply device 1, namely, 500-yen coins and 100-yen coins, will be described, but it goes without saying that it is not limited to this. Incidentally, the same reference numerals are given to the constituent parts similar to the above modification examples, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0043] The notification unit 24 gives an end notification after notifying the number of coins for each type of coin. In the following description, an example in which control is performed to blink the red light emitting element 5 times as the end notification will be used for explanation.

[0044] FIG. 8 is a timeline in this Modification Example 2. Incidentally, in the following description, it is assumed that the set supply price information of the setting unit 21 has already been set by the administrator to "0 500-yen coins and 3 100-yen coins". Also, it is assumed that the order of the types of coins for which the notification unit 24 notifies the number of coins is determined in advance to be in the order of decreasing number of digits indicated by the coins, that is, the number of 500-yen coins and the number of 100-yen coins.

[0045] When the notification unit 24 receives a notification from the operation detection unit 23 (at the 0 - second point of the timeline), it starts the advance notification. In the advance notification, the red light - emitting element blinks twice (in the advance - notification section of the timeline).

[0046] Subsequently, the notification unit 24 notifies the set supply price information. Here, it notifies the number of 500 - yen coins. Since 0 500 - yen coins are set in the set supply price information, the green light - emitting element does not emit light (in the section for notifying the number of 500 - yen coins of the timeline). Next, the notification unit 24 performs an end notification. In the end notification, the red light - emitting element blinks five times (in the end - notification section of the timeline).

[0047] Furthermore, the notification unit 24 emits light from the red light - emitting body to perform an advance notification (the second advance notification). Subsequently, since 3 100 - yen coins are set in the set supply price information, the green light - emitting element blinks three times (notification of the number of 100 - yen coins on the timeline). Subsequently, the notification unit 24 performs control to blink the red light - emitting element five times as an end notification (in the second end - notification section of the timeline).

[0048] As described above, the displayed article supply price shown on the article supply device 1 does not display the set article supply price set in the article supply device 1, but is manually set by the administrator. According to the article supply device 1 of the present embodiment, the notification unit 14 blinks the light - emitting element by the number of required pieces for each type of coin to notify the set supply price, and can confirm the consistency with the manually set displayed article supply price. That is, since it is configured to notify the set supply price information in a notification format different from the display format of the display supply price information, it is possible to prevent the inconsistency between the supply price displayed on the article supply device and the supply price set in the article supply device. Also, in the present embodiment, since the notification unit 14 is located near the supply - price display unit 13, it is easy to confirm the consistency between the displayed supply price and the set supply price.

[0049] In addition, in the case of this modification example, since the notice of upcoming operation and the notice of completion are set and notified for each type of coin, it is easy to understand that the number of coins of that type is set to 0 even if there is no blinking during the coin number notification period.

[0050] <Modification Example 3> In the above description, the notification unit 24 has been described in terms of a configuration in which the set supply price information, which is the type of coin and the number of coins that satisfy the supply price, is notified by executing control to cause the light emitting unit to emit light. In the present embodiment, the notification unit 24 will be described using a configuration in which the set supply price information, which is the type of coin and the number of coins that satisfy the supply price, is notified by voice. In this modification example, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, an example will be given in which there are two types of money that can be used in the article supply device 1, namely 500-yen coins and 100-yen coins, but it goes without saying that it is not limited to this. Incidentally, the same reference numerals are given to the constituent parts similar to those in the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0051] The notification unit 24 of this modification example 3 is composed of a sound generation unit 241 and a speaker 242. The sound generation unit 241 stores voice information "five hundred yen" and "one hundred yen" indicating each type of coin that can be used. In addition, the voice synthesis unit 241 stores voice information "zero pieces", "one piece", etc. indicating the number of pieces. When the notification unit 24 receives a notification from the operation detection unit 23, it notifies the set supply price information and its number in voice information. Incidentally, in the following description, the order of notifying the type of coin and its number will be described in descending order of the digits indicated by the coin, but if the type of coin and its number are set and notified, the order does not matter.

[0052] FIG. 9 is a timeline in this modification example 3. Incidentally, in the following description, it will be described on the assumption that the set supply price information of the setting unit 21 has already been set by the administrator to "0 pieces of 500-yen coins and 3 pieces of 100-yen coins".

[0053] When the notification unit 24 receives a notification from the operation detection unit 23 (at the 0 - second point of the timeline), it notifies the set supply price information. First, it outputs the type of coin from the speaker 242 (in the first - type coin notification period of the timeline). Here, the voice generation unit 241 outputs voice information of "a 500 - yen coin". Subsequently, the notification unit 24 notifies the number of coins (in the first - type coin number notification period of the timeline). Since 0 pieces of 500 - yen coins are set in the set supply price information, the voice generation unit 241 outputs voice information of "zero pieces".

[0054] Furthermore, the notification unit 24 outputs the type of the next coin from the speaker 242 (in the second - type coin notification period of the timeline). Here, the voice generation unit 241 outputs voice information of "a 100 - yen coin". Subsequently, the notification unit 24 notifies the number of coins (in the second - type coin number notification period of the timeline). Since 3 pieces of 100 - yen coins are set in the set supply price information, the voice generation unit 241 outputs voice information of "three pieces".

[0055] In the above description, the case where the display supply price information of the supply price display unit 13 is the type of coin and its number has been used for explanation. However, the display supply price information may display the supply price of the article 3 itself numerically. In that case, the administrator checks the consistency between the numerical value of the supply price calculated from the notified supply price information and the numerical value of the display supply price information.

[0056] In the above description, the article description display unit 12 has been described using an example of displaying article information including the product name of the article, the explanatory information of the article, and the explanatory image of the article. However, a configuration in which the supply price information of the article is included in the article information and displayed may also be used. In the case of such a configuration, the administrator can check whether the article information displayed on the article description display unit 12 matches the article 3 stored in the article storage unit 11, and further check whether the supply price information of the article information displayed on the article description display unit 12 matches the supply price information of the supply price display unit 13. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the article 3 in the storage unit 11, the article information in the article description display unit 12, and the supply price information in the supply price display unit 13 from being inconsistent.

[0057] In addition, in the above description, the number of coins is notified by one type of light-emitting element, but the color of the light-emitting element may be changed for each type of coin. With such a configuration, it is easy to grasp which number of coins is being notified.
