Definitions

  • the invented system permits the running management and control of vending machines adding new methods of inspection related to fraud in the running through specific sensors adapted to the new designs of vending machines and using a new communication system with the operating station by means of a mobile cellular telecommunication existent network but without using the voice channels, in other words, without making a phone call, using the specification of the mobile cellular paneuropean GSM system and more specifically the systems of sending short messages in the call network or call or broadcast channel defined by the Special Mobile Group (SMG) of the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) documents 07.05 and 07.07 of the specification PHASE II GSM of july 1996.
  • SMG Special Mobile Group
  • ETSI European Telecommunication Standard Institute
  • the aim is to obtain a cheap and reliable method to eliminate fraud in money takings, real time control of the takings, to save costs and to study the profitability of new products for companies in the field of vending machines of any sort or model.
  • the technology field to which this invention is referred to is the one of the operation of any sort of vending machine or that offers a service to the user previous payment of a quantity, internationally known as vending machines and in particular to its remote control by means of low cost.
  • vending machines that we could define as those machines that sell products or that offer a service to the user previous payment of a quantity, originally conceived as a means to offer a service in places of large public attendance, has been extended in the developed countries due to the lack of human labour. So, nowadays we can find these machines or a lot of them in shopping centres, offices, petrol stations, halls of public display and exhibitions, competing in an efficient way with hotel and catering services.
  • vending machines that offer drinks, candies, sandwiches, ice-creams, french fries, newspapers, hot pizzas, video-club, laundry, photocopies, sending faxes, internet connection, instant photos, coffee, infusions, solubles and its derivates, washing car machines, vaccuum cleaner activated by coins and, in a wider sense, telephone boxes where we obtain the right to make a call over on the payment of a quantity, banks' cash dispensers where cash is given in advance through the charge of a commission that is charged in the same account of that of the credit card, and parking machines that permit the exit of the vehicles previous payment of the indicated rate can be also considered vending machines.
  • the employee can replace products that have not been supplied by the operator company but that have been acquired by himself and which collection can afterwards be removed from the machine for its own benefit.
  • the internal machine temperature is a critic parameter.
  • a long-lasting power failure, an involuntary disconnection of the machine or a breakdown in the compressor system can raise the temperature of the machine causing the complete loss of goods with the consequent economic loss for the operator company and/or the consequent danger for public health due to the sale of the product in bad conditions.
  • the machine breaks down during the period of time that goes from the moment in which the machine breakdown is notified to the operator company until the technician has the occasion of visiting the place in function of his routes or his planification, the collection is obviously none.
  • the machine can break down being it difficult for the employee of the shop where the vending machine is installed or even for the collector to appreciate the fact that the vending machine is out of order such as the wrong rejection of coins and others of difficult prediction and only detectable through a statistical check of the coins admission, sold product, and that all together will give information about deviations related to the typical working of these machines. This checking through non automatic methods after the cashing up is done can take even months, because the statistical check can only be done after several visits of the operators; nevertheless, through automatic methods is almost immediate.
  • the mentioned systems include sensors that monitor the running of the machine and send alarms to a communications' system that connects through a modem with a remote central station where data can be historically processed to obtain information about the state of the operation.
  • the lack of difussion of the described patents can be attributed to the many technical problems of infrastructure and operative costs that have the described systems in the mentioned patents.
  • the telephone line linking systems being either dedicated or by commutated network, have a prohibitive operation cost due to the fact that each machine must be connected to its own telephone line and the problem begins with the need of contracting and paying these new phone lines to an operator.
  • a common telephone line can be subject to its fraudulent use, because it it easy even for a non expert, to connect a telephone and make calls through the cable of the telephone line, and on the other hand, machines can not move to more profitable places without cancelling the telephone line and applying and paying a new one.
  • the radiofrequency method was proposed.
  • the vending machine is connected to a radiofrequency transceptor (transmiter-receiver) in a private network, and the data is sent through a cordless modem.
  • This system has new disadvantages because the vending machines operator must ask for one or more radiofrecuencies that are scarce and can not be even available in cities where the radiofrequency spectrum is saturated.
  • fares to maintain frecuencies of dedicated use are high in all developed countries.
  • this system is economically unviable out of small towns where the maintenance and implantation costs of a remote network of repeaters and transceptor stations to link with the vending machines makes the system to have no practical application due to the implantation costs.
  • a radio cellular system basically consists on a large number of radioelectric stations, called cells or base stations, that have a multichannel equipment and an interface that connects the transceptor voice channels to telephone cable lines. So each base station is a cell of a great panel, where the geographic area in which the mobile service is intended to be given radiofrequency coverage is being supplied through an indeterminate number of cells whose own radiofrequency scope is linked to the neighbours.
  • the dedicated software cell system provides the best terminal coverage by means of different cells and makes a change between voice channels and the new cell transceptors by means of a hand-off commutation.
  • a communication towards a mobile terminal When a communication towards a mobile terminal is established it is notified with a code through the control channel in which the receiver of the mobile terminal is permanently hearing and the mobile terminal answers through this same channel so the base station recognizes the terminal within its radioelectric coverage, assigning immediately a voice channel through which the corresponding communication is established.
  • the operators of the mobile digital cellular offer, together with the traditional use of voice, specific channels to transmit data and fax, but that in reality, are supported by voice channels, without having the use of this commercial formula any technical advantage of any spectrum efficiency.
  • the operators invoice the clients separate connection fares and monthly fares for those who demand these services.
  • vending machines need of a remote monitoring operation system to combat fraud in the collection, to improve management and to eliminate costs. Nevertheless, the reasons why other systems have not reached a minimum of acceptance are due to a high cost of establishment, operation and maintenance and to a lack of reliability in the technical proposal to send data.
  • the inventors have conceived a new system which sensors, that control the key points of the machine, are connected to a microprocessor based low-cost controller, connected at the same time to an own design cordless modem (figure 1) compatible with the SMS Short Message Service format or short message system of the GSM specification documents 07.05 and 07.07 of the GSM specification phase II of july 1996.
  • the GSM system is nearly identical to the american PCS, and the implementation of the invention in this system is also viable.
  • the invented system therefore uses the existent mobile digital cellular system networks having several special features. From a technical point of view, as voice channels are not used and due to the fact that the data sent from the vending machine is of a short length, it has no sense using process resources and of espectrum utility derived from the traditional network running. From an economical point of view, not using voice channel implies that there is no faring of this service with its corresponding operative saving of the proposed system.
  • the short message system was conceived as a means to combine the use of mobile GSM telephones with beeper services that already existed. Originally this service is usually unidirectional, in other words, the person that wants to leave a message calls to a call center and indicates the message and the user's number. The center processes the message sending it to the mobile terminal. Nevertheless, the mentioned specification allows the bidirectional use of sending messages either fixed-mobile, mobile-fixed, as mobile-mobile.
  • the difussion broadcast channel is permanently transmiting different data chains with information related either to the system parameters either to the call processor to the terminals. So, the spectrum occupation of the difussion channel is permanent, even in case there is no traffic or just some.
  • the SMS system uses blanks in the difussion channel to transmit short messages without using the process or additional spectrum.
  • SMS format uses an efficient error correcting system as well as a message reception confirmation code, through which the message is being repeated until its automatic reception is confirmed.
  • the manufacturing cost of a wireless modem compatible with the SMS format is lower than that of other technical solutions. It is lower than the analog solution due to the high integration level and to the almost unexistence of adjustments and calibrations lower than those of the digital traditional voice operation system, because circuits that are left can be eliminated.
  • the vocoder, the transductors such as the microphone and earpiece, the display and its control circuit among others are the vocoder, the transductors such as the microphone and earpiece, the display and its control circuit among others. In this way, the resultant establishment cost is low due to the use of an existent network and to the low cost of the equipments to be installed in the vending machine.
  • the SMS data network has the form of figure (2) and allows sending through the GSM system difussion or broadcast channel a maximum of 160 ASCII characters of seven or eight bits, the length of this network is more than sufficient for the pretended object.
  • the needed wireless modem must be compatible with the mentioned technical aspects specifications of the short message system for GSM networks and its diagram is shown in figure (1).
  • Data that are sent and received from the wireless modem to the controller are encrypted through a set of algorithms with the aim of avoiding the possibility of an ilegal reading through a clonic terminal.
  • the encryptation is made in the controller itself through a dedicated owner firmware.
  • the integration level is so that the integrated circuits are really blocks that contain for example the radio frecuency transceptor, or the GMSK modulation-desmodulation circuits, the controller with the data ports so the task of design and realization of the prototype is enormously simplified and shortened, also mentioning as appropiated to the aim of the necessary wireless digital modem design, the information about the sets of integrated circuits of SIEMENS, COMMQUEST or ANALOG DEVICES.

  • Signal is filtered by (2), preferably a superficial wave filter and goes to a GMSK demodulator (3) which passes the signal to a base band processor (9), that decodes the SMS data chain and passes the information to the rest of the systems.
  • the signal is generated by a voltage-controlled oscillator (8) which passes its signal to a controlled (10) frequency sintesizer (7).
  • the sintesizer signal is then given to a GMSK modulator (6) and, after being filtered (13), is passed to a two watt PEP power amplifier (5).
  • the signal then passes to the duplexor (4) to be sent by the antena.
  • the system also carries memories with the firmware (12) and a smart card memory (11) supplied by the operator previous contract of the access to the SMS system.
