Abstract

A vending machine incorporates a reader that reads an identification (ID) card, and a verification unit to determine the authenticity of the ID card. A control circuit utilizes software to calculate the age of the owner of the ID card, and enables a principal circuit to dispense tobacco if the calculated age is equal to or beyond a predetermined age. The transaction is disqualified and the ID card is discharged if the age is less than the predetermined age.

Description

Dispositivo para la imposibilitación de venta de tabaco a menores en máquinas expendedoras.Device for disabling the sale of tobacco to minors in vending machines.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo para la imposibilitación de venta de tabaco a menores de 18 años, especialmente concebido para su implantación en máquinas expendedoras de tabaco.The present invention relates to a device for the impossibility of selling tobacco to children under 18, specially designed for implantation in machines tobacco vending

El objeto de la invención es proporcionar un dispositivo que inhabilite la máquina de tabaco, impidiendo la utilización de la misma hasta que no se haya introducido en un lector de tarjetas asociado a dicho dispositivo el documento nacional de identidad, de manera que sea capaz de establecer si el usuario de la máquina expendedora es mayor de edad, y en tal caso habilitar la citada máquina, volviéndola a inhabilitar una vez retirado dicho documento.The object of the invention is to provide a device that disables the tobacco machine, preventing use of it until it has been introduced in a card reader associated with said device the document national identity, so as to be able to establish whether the Vending machine user is of legal age, and in such case enable the aforementioned machine, once again disabling it Withdrawn said document.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Como es sabido, la venta de tabaco a menores de edad está prohibida por la ley.As is known, the sale of tobacco to children under Age is prohibited by law.

Si bien, dicha venta de tabaco se controla rigurosamente en ciertos establecimientos autorizados como pueden ser estancos, el control que se establece sobre las máquinas expendedoras de tabaco es sensiblemente menor debido a que éstas se suelen implantar en establecimientos en los que la afluencia de personas es muy elevada, de modo que aunque los encargados de dichos establecimientos son responsables de que se cumpla la citada ley, por lo general el control del uso de dichas máquinas resulta insuficiente.While this sale of tobacco is controlled rigorously in certain authorized establishments as they can be watertight, the control that is established on the machines tobacco vending is noticeably smaller because these are they usually implant in establishments in which the influx of people are very high, so although those in charge of These establishments are responsible for compliance with the aforementioned law, usually the control of the use of such machines is insufficient.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

El dispositivo para la imposibilitación de venta de tabaco a menores en máquinas expendedoras que la invención propone resuelve de manera plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, permitiendo inhabilitar mediante un circuito de control dicha máquina expendedora de tabaco hasta comprobar que el usuario que pretende comprar tabaco es mayor de edad.The device for disabling sale of tobacco to minors in vending machines than the invention proposes to solve the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, allowing to disable by means of a control circuit said tobacco vending machine up to verify that the user who intends to buy tobacco is greater than age.

Para ello, y de manera mas concreta, el dispositivo incluye un lector de tarjetas, en el que se introduce el documento nacional de identidad, estando dotado dicho lector de medios de comprobación de que el citado documento es auténtico, así como de medios para leer y reconocer el texto de dicho documento, medios que permiten gracias a un pequeño microprocesador o circuito de control, asociado a un software, calcular la edad del usuario.To do this, and more specifically, the device includes a card reader, in which it is inserted the national identity document, said reader being endowed with means of verifying that the said document is authentic, as well as a means to read and recognize the text of that document, means that allow thanks to a small microprocessor or circuit control, associated with a software, calculate the age of Username.

Dicho circuito de control inhabilita la máquina expendedora de tabaco en todo momento a través de una señal asociada al circuito de control propio de la máquina, de manera que una vez comprobada la autenticidad del documento, así como la edad del usuario a partir del software incluido en dicho circuito de control, éste envía una señal al circuito de control de la máquina expendedora para habilitarla, de tal forma que una vez realizada la operación pertinente por el usuario, el lector de tarjetas expulsa su DNI y vuelve a inhabilitar dicha máquina.Said control circuit disables the machine tobacco vending at all times through a sign associated to the machine's own control circuit, so that once the authenticity of the document has been verified, as well as the age of the user from the software included in said circuit of control, this sends a signal to the machine control circuit vending machine to enable it, so that once the relevant operation by the user, the card reader ejects your ID and disable that machine again.

En el caso de que el propietario no tenga la edad requerida, el lector de tarjetas expulsa automáticamente dicho documento, sin llegar a habilitar en ningún momento la máquina expendedora de tabaco.In the event that the owner is not of the age required, the card reader automatically ejects said document, without ever enabling the machine tobacco vending machine

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, el dispositivo objeto de la invención puede estar integrado en el seno de la propia máquina expendedora, disponiéndose el lector de tarjetas sobre el panel de control de la misma, o bien estar alojado en el seno de una carcasa, de manera que pueda instalarse fácilmente en las máquinas ya existentes.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, the device object of the invention may be integrated into the vending machine itself, the card reader being arranged on the control panel of the same, or be housed inside a housing, so that can be easily installed on existing machines.

Por lo tanto mediante dicho dispositivo se asegura que el tabaco vendido únicamente se suministre a personas mayores de edad.Therefore, using said device, ensures that tobacco sold is only supplied to people adults.
