After the item seller has delivered the item, he can ask the operator to pay for the order immediately. The operator can click the coin exit button 55 on the coin exchange control interface 52 to display the coin exit interface 551, and Fill in the coin quantity input field 552 with the equivalent amount of coins required for payment (as shown in Figure 9). After filling in and clicking the confirmation button 553, the mobile device 50 will send a signal to the control of the coin exchange machine 20 Unit 25. After receiving the signal, the control unit 25 will make the coin dispensing device 24 withdraw the number of coins filled in the coin dispensing input column 552. The operator can see the status of the coin through the camera and ask for the item to be sold. Does the merchant count the coins in person meet the payment amount? If the count is correct, the payment is completed, and the number of coins to be paid out of the currency is included in the APP currency value column 534 in the currency exchange status column 53. The control unit 25 will count and calculate the remaining currency value column 535. Balance, which can be collected by the seller Cash, the real effect of the operator's immediate payment. After the goods seller completes the delivery at this location, they can continue to deliver to the operator’s next business location, and the operator only needs to wait for the goods seller’s arrival location notification. Of course, the locker 26 can also be used for temporary lease. For example, buyer A rents a nearby locker 26 from the operator, buyer A orders goods from seller B, buyer A can ask seller B to deliver the goods to the operator In the managed coin exchange machine 20, seller B places the goods in the locker 26 according to the above storage process, and when buyer A wants to take the goods, he must notify the operator to open the locker 26 so that buyer A can take out the goods. Buyer A then puts the equivalent rental money into the coin acceptor 21 or the paper money machine 22, which achieves the effect of providing convenience for fetching.
