摘要: A system and method for vending products to a customer that encompasses a group of vending machines managed by a vending company, a database of the inventory of products in the vending machines and information about customer purchase history from the vending machines; and the use of a personal electronic device by the customer. Embodiments include the customer selecting either products or vending machines from a list of options provided via the user interface of the personal electronic device, wherein the list of options depends on the actual available inventory on vending machines co-located with customer, and the customer purchase history. Methods are described to permit advance purchases with deferred dispensing, and methods of payment that are both fast and automatic. Also described are methods of identifying vending machines and ordering a group of products as single request.

摘要: Techniques are provided for calculating vending machines' service priorities and scheduling the vending machines for service taking into account a number of factors and thresholds (520). In some embodiments, the machines (110) are subdivided into subroutes (320). Each subroute has one or more machines, and at least one subroute has a plurality of machines. The vending machine service schedule is generated by selecting the highest priority subroute (410) and selecting the machines in that subroute (420). Other subroutes can be selected (430, 440) if there is time left in the Service Period.

摘要: A vending machine door monitoring system for an audit system is provided. This door monitoring system may utilize the same door switch utilized by the vending machine controller (VMC) in order to detect the state of an access door for the vending machine. This door monitoring system may have a separate power supply for applying a back-up voltage to a door circuit in the event that the VMC fails to supply the voltage. The door monitoring system may be further configured to detect a state of the door circuit regardless of the order in which the terminals from the door switch are coupled to the audit system.

摘要: An improved interface between a processor and an external cache system, having particular application for use in high speed computer systems. A cache memory for storing frequently accessed data is coupled to a cache address register (CAR). A processor generates addresses which correspond to locations of desired data in the cache, and provides these addresses to the CAR. Upon the receipt of a clock signal, the CAR couples the address to the cache memory. The processor includes a data register for receiving accessed cache data over a data bus. Data is latched into the register upon the receipt of a clock signal. Due to inherent delays associated with digital logic comprising the processor, clock signals provided by an external clock are received by the CAR prior to their receipt by the processor's data register. This delay (a fraction of a clock cycle) provides additional time to access the cache memory before the data is expected on the data bus. The CAR is fabricated out of a technology that allows it to drive the address to the large capacitive load of the cache memory in much less time than the processor itself could drive such a load. Thus, due to this buffering capability of the CAR, the cache can be much larger than what could be supported by the processor itself. The time expended sending the address from the processor to the CAR buffer, which would otherwise not be present if the processor addressed the cache directly from an internal register, does not subtract from the processor cycle time since the processor can compute the cache address and send it to the CAR in less than the time required to access the cache.
