First, processing for determining the type of electronic money service corresponding to the IC card used by the vending machine 10 will be described. In the present invention, two types of recognition methods can be adopted corresponding to different IC card recognition methods depending on the standard adopted by the electronic money service.
First, a case will be described in which the electronic money medium reader / writer can recognize the type of electronic money service corresponding to an IC card arranged in proximity.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the first IC card recognition process of the vending machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a timing chart showing the first IC card recognition process of the vending machine according to the present invention.
In this example, the vending machine can make payment using four types of IC cards, that is, IC card A, IC card B, IC card C, and IC card D. The user can use IC card A and IC card. Assume that you have C.
The user tricks or contacts the first IC card (IC card A in FIG. 5) with the IC card reader / writer 11 of the vending machine 10 to be used (step S11). Then, the IC card reader / writer 11 automatically recognizes the IC cards arranged close to each other (step S12), and when there is a next IC card, the user selects the next IC card (in the example of FIG. 5). When the IC card C) is placed close to the IC card reader / writer 11, the IC card reader / writer 11 automatically recognizes the IC card. This process is performed for all IC cards owned by the user (steps S13 and S14). When the user recognizes all the cards possessed, the user presses the enter button 31, and the vending machine 10 proceeds to the menu selection process (step S15).

Some types cannot recognize the type of electronic money service corresponding to an IC card only by being close to the IC card reader / writer. A case where an “0 yen reduction” signal is sent from the IC card reader / writer to cope with such an IC card, and the type of electronic money service can be recognized based on a response signal from the IC card to this signal will be described. .

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a second IC card recognition process of the vending machine according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a timing chart showing the second IC card recognition process of the vending machine according to the present invention.
In this example, the vending machine can use four types of IC cards, that is, IC card A, IC card B, IC card C, and IC card D, and the user uses IC card A and IC card C.
The user touches the IC card reader / writer 11 of the vending machine 10 to be used, for example, the IC card A, for example, the IC card A (step S21). Then, the IC card reader / writer 11 executes all the IC cards (IC card A to IC card D in FIG. 5) that can use the “0 yen reduction” signal (step S22).
Then, since there is a normal response from the IC card arranged in proximity, and no response from other IC cards, the IC card reader / writer 11 determines which IC card card is arranged in proximity and used in this transaction. Can be discriminated (IC card A is recognized in FIG. 7).

When there is a next IC card, when the user places the next IC card, for example, IC card C, close to the IC card reader / writer 11, the IC card reader / writer 11 detects an IC card other than the recognized IC card (see FIG. 7 performs the above-described processing for the IC card B, the IC card C, and the IC card D) to recognize the IC card. This process is performed for all IC cards (steps S23 and S24). When the user recognizes all the cards to be used, the user presses the enter button 31, and the vending machine 10 proceeds to the menu selection process (step S25).
At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, a table of IC card A, IC card B, IC card C, and IC card D is displayed on the touch panel 13, and corresponding columns of usable IC cards are sequentially lit ( In FIG. 7, a display column 61, a display column 62, and a display column 63). Thereby, the user can recognize which IC card can be used.

Next, menu selection will be described.
In this example, it is assumed that the user selects menu 1 and menu 3 with IC card A and menu 2 with IC card C.
When the user selects menu 1, menu 2 and menu 3 from the menu selection button 12 with the vending machine 10 recognizing the IC card, an electronic money service selection screen 70 is displayed on the touch panel 13.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing an electronic money service selection screen on the touch panel. On the electronic money service selection screen 70, display columns 71, 72, and 73 are displayed in which the prices on the IC card A and the IC card C for the menu 1, menu 2, and menu 3 are displayed in ascending order from the left. The electronic money service selection screen 70 also displays a usage amount column 74 that displays the usage amount of each IC card.
In the example shown in FIG. 8, the menus are displayed from the left in the descending order of the amounts when payment is made with IC card A and IC card C for each menu. That is, in the display column 71 of the menu 1, IC card C: 485 yen and IC card A: 500 from the left, and in the display column 72 of the menu 2, IC card A: 420 yen and IC card C: 436 yen are displayed from the left. In the display column 73 of the menu 3, IC card C: 87 yen and IC card A: 90 yen are displayed from the left. In the usage amount column 74, the total amount for settlement and the usage amount for each IC card are displayed.
Then, the user selects an IC card for performing payment processing for each menu from each of the display columns 71, 72, 73. The column of the selected IC card is lit up.
When the user selects an IC card to be used, the usage amount column 74 displays the amount related to the settlement in the respective IC card column and the total amount.
When the user finishes specifying the product and the electronic money service to be used, the IC card is used for settlement.

Next, the IC card settlement procedure in the vending machine 10 will be described. Here, the settlement processing unit 15 updates the electronic money information of each of the plurality of IC cards determined by the settlement processing unit 15 by the menu selection by the IC card reader / writer 11 and determined by pressing the determination button 31 by the user. Is done by. In the vending machine 10 according to this example, a predetermined procedure can be adopted from the following three types of settlement procedures. In the following example, description will be made on the assumption that the amount of money performed in the menu selection process described above is settled.
The first procedure is to process the IC cards arranged close to the IC card reader / writer 11 in that order. In this case, the IC card reader / writer 11 can receive all the payment information from the payment process, and the IC card reader / writer 11 sets the type of the IC card in a state where the IC card is close to the IC card reader / writer 11. It has a function that can be distinguished.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first settlement process according to the vending machine of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a timing chart showing the procedure of the first settlement process according to the vending machine of the present invention.
First, the IC card reader / writer 11 receives all payment information from the payment processing unit 15 (step S31). In the example shown in FIG. 10, the payment information is a reduction of 572 yen for the IC card C and 420 yen for the IC card A. When the IC card C, which is the first IC card, is placed in close proximity, the IC card C is settled, and a process of reducing 572 yen from the IC card C is performed (step S32). Next, when IC card A, which is the next IC card, is arranged in proximity, a process of reducing 420 yen from IC card A is performed. This process is repeated as necessary (step S33). When the settlement process is completed for all cards, the settlement result is output and a process such as receipt issuance is performed, and the settlement process is terminated (step S34).
In this settlement process, the order in which the IC cards are arranged close to each other is not determined, and the IC cards may be placed in any order.

Next, the second settlement procedure will be described. In this process, the order of the IC cards to be processed for payment is displayed on the touch panel 13, and the user places the IC cards close to the IC card reader / writer 11 in that order.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a procedure of a second settlement process according to the vending machine of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a timing chart showing a procedure of the second settlement process according to the vending machine of the present invention.
First, the control unit 18 determines the order of processing (step S41). Although this order is not particularly defined, it can be set, for example, in descending order of payment amount. Then, the control unit 18 sequentially displays the types of IC cards that prompt the proximity to the IC card reader / writer 11 on the touch panel 13 (step S42).
Based on this display, the user arranges the first IC card, in the example shown in FIG. As a result, the IC card reader / writer 11 performs a settlement process for the IC cards arranged close to each other (step S43). In this example, 572 yen is reduced from the IC card C.
When there is an IC card to be processed next, the type of the IC card that prompts the next close placement is displayed on the touch panel 13 (step S45), and when the IC card is placed close to the IC card reader / writer 11, Settlement processing is performed (step S46). In this example, the amount is reduced by 420 yen from the IC card A.
This process is repeated as necessary (steps S44, 44, and 46). When the settlement process is completed for all IC cards, the settlement result is output and a receipt is issued (step S47). The settlement process is terminated.

Next, the third settlement procedure will be described. This payment process is a process in which the IC card reader / writer 11 cyclically executes a payment process for an electronic money service to be settled. That is, since the settlement processing of all types of electronic money services is completed while one type of IC card is placed close to 11, the settlement processing corresponding to the IC card placed in proximity is the settlement processing timing of the IC card. Is executed.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the third settlement process according to the vending machine of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a timing chart showing the procedure of the third settlement process according to the vending machine of the present invention.
First, the order of settlement processing is determined by the control unit 18 (step S51). In this example, the IC cards to be settled are the IC card A and the IC card C. Therefore, the processing is cyclically performed in the order of settlement, IC card C, IC card A, IC card,. The order of the settlement is not particularly limited as long as settlement processing is performed for the IC card used.

Then, the IC card reader / writer 11 performs a subtraction process according to this order (step S52). When the subtraction process cannot be performed, a cyclic process is performed to subtract the amount to be settled by the IC card from the next IC card (step S54). Step S52). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 14, the process of subtracting 572 yen from the IC card C and 420 yen from the IC card A is repeatedly performed.
If there is an IC card in which a subtraction process can be performed while these processes (step S52, step S53, and step S54) are circulated (in FIG. 14, first, the IC card A is placed close to the IC card reader / writer 11). Then, the IC card is settled and the next circulation process (step S54, step S52) is performed. When the subtraction process is completed for all the IC cards, the settlement result is output and a receipt is issued (step S57), and the settlement process is terminated.
In the example of FIG. 14, since 572 yen has been subtracted from the IC card C in the second circulation process, the subtraction process is completed for all the IC cards.

As described above, in the vending machine 10 according to the present example, a plurality of menus with different prices depending on the type of IC card are selected and purchased by sequentially performing the above-described menu designation and IC card settlement processing. In doing so, the menu selection process and the settlement process for each IC card can be performed smoothly and easily.
Note that not only a prepaid system but also a postpaid system IC card such as a credit card may be used. Further, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone may be provided with an IC card function to support a plurality of types of IC cards.
