Description

  The present invention relates to a sales restriction system for a vending machine that handles products with age restrictions such as alcohol and tobacco.

  In vending machines that handle products with age restrictions such as alcohol and tobacco, it is necessary to determine whether or not the purchase qualification age of the purchaser can be reached at the time of sale.

For example, vending machines that control the sale of products using cards have been proposed.
At the store, you will be presented with an ID card, age verification, and issued a card with a PIN using a magnetic material. The vending machine is a system that allows a user to insert a card at the time of purchase and to permit sales when the passwords match.

  Vending machines that control the sale of products using portable terminals have been proposed. In this system, a user obtains a personal identification number from a portable terminal in advance, inputs it into a key input unit of a vending machine, performs age authentication by referring to it, and permits sales only when authentication is successful.
