Description

Technical field

This technical solution relates to the field of self-service, in particular to vending machines that allow you to sell goods and even provide services without employees.

State of the art

The prior art device (US 7131575 B1 (USA Technologies Inc), publ. 11/07/2006), which provides self-service to the public, contains a module for conducting MDB transactions and a module for transmitting data to a remote server.

The disadvantage of this device is the lack of a module for converting tax reporting and transferring this information to a remote server for further transfer to the tax accounting service.

In addition, there is known a system for collecting, storing and transmitting transaction data of a vending machine (WO 2004/051583 A1 (CAC VENDING SYSTEMS LLC), published on June 17, 2004), which includes an integrated data collection and storage device, which, when placed inside the vending machine, it collects DEX and MDB data and has the ability to transfer transaction information to credit organizations or accounting organizations.

The disadvantages of this device is the inability to convert transaction data into the open MDB protocol format.

Utility Model Disclosure

The technical problem to which the claimed technical solution is directed is the creation of a vending machine that allows you to convert transaction data from the closed JVMA protocol to the open MDB protocol format and send this data to a remote server.

The technical result is to expand the functionality of the vending machine by converting transaction data from the closed JVMA protocol to the open MDB protocol format using the data conversion module.

The claimed result is achieved using a vending machine containing:

- housing, access door inside the housing, a display for displaying information, cells with goods placed in them, a device for dispensing goods and modules located inside the housing, united by a single bus:

- system control module;

- product management module (R-POS), which provides for fixing the cost of goods, a cell of goods sold, as well as the time and date of sale;

a data conversion module that converts captured data in the closed JVMA protocol format to the open MDB protocol format;

- communication and telemetry module (GSM modem), configured to transmit converted data to a remote server.

Brief Description of the Drawings

The implementation of the claimed solution is described in accordance with the accompanying drawings, which are presented to explain the essence of the utility model and in no way limit the scope of the utility model. The following drawings are attached to the application:

FIG. 1. The appearance of the vending machine.

FIG. 2. The internal view of the vending machine.

Utility Model Implementation

The following description of the implementation of the utility model provides implementation details to provide a clear understanding of the present utility model. However, it is obvious to a specialist skilled in the subject how it is possible to use a real utility model with and without these implementation details. Well-known methods, procedures and components are not described in detail so as not to impede the understanding of the features of this utility model.

In addition, from the above statement it is clear that the utility model is not limited to the given implementation. Numerous possible modifications, changes, variations and replacements, preserving the essence and form of this utility model, are obvious to qualified specialists in the subject field.

This utility model is aimed at providing a vending machine.

FIG. 1 shows an exemplary view of a vending machine (100) according to an embodiment of the present utility model. The vending machine (100) contains an external software package that encloses and defines the internal area.

The housing 110 can be made of many parts (for example, side panels, rear panel, front panel, top panel or bottom panel), or can be constructed using any method known in the art without deviating from the claimed utility model. The goods sold in the vending machine (100) can be accessed using the access door with a handle (not shown in the figure).

According to aspects of the utility model, the vending apparatus 100 may have a plurality of cells with goods placed thereon (130).

The vending apparatus (100) may have an input device from a consumer (not shown in the figure) and a display device - a display (120) for displaying information located on the outer part of the housing 110. The input device and display can be located in any suitable area at the discretion of a specialist in this technical field. The vending apparatus (100) also comprises a product dispensing device (140).

FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of an internal view of a vending machine.

As shown in FIG. 2, inside the housing (110) of the vending machine are modules connected by a single bus (210).

System control module (220) with data processing capability; product management module (R-POS) (230), which provides fixing the cost of goods, a cell of goods sold, as well as the time and date of sale; a data conversion module (240) that converts captured data in the format of the closed JVMA protocol to the format of the open MDB protocol; a communication and telemetry module (GSM modem) (250), configured to transmit converted data to a remote server.

The presented description of the claimed utility model reveals the preferred options for the implementation of the claimed solution and should not be construed as limiting other, private implementation options that do not go beyond the requested scope of legal protection, which should be clear to a specialist in this field of technology.

Claims (6)
