Automatic vending method, vending machine and server

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic vending method, a vending machine and a server for reducing goods damage. The automatic vending method of the vending machine is as follows: a goods discharging instruction is received; the goods discharging instruction includes a sending time and a discharging instruction; a time difference between the receiving time and the sending time of the discharging instruction is calculated; if the time difference is greater than a time difference threshold, a result with a failed discharging status returns; and if the time difference is not greater than the time difference threshold, the discharging operation is carried out according to the discharging instruction and a result with a successful discharging status returns. In the embodiment of the invention, thegoods are discharged by the vending machine only when the time difference between the receiving time and the sending time of the discharging instruction is not greater than the threshold. In this way, the situation that a buyer has initiated a refund or left the vending machine after the time difference threshold is exceeded and the goods are still discharged by the vending machine is avoided; thereby the goods damage is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to an automatic vending method, an automatic vending machine and a server. Background technique [0002] Due to the rapid popularization of mobile payment, almost all types of vending machines need to interact with the server through the network to complete a series of transaction actions such as payment and shipment. [0003] However, the current wireless communication is greatly affected by the point environment, and the network is unstable. However, when the existing vending machine system is designed, it is basically assumed that the network environment is good, and the processing of the weak network environment is not ideal. In a weak network environment, goods damage is prone to occur. For example, when the shipping instruction sent by the server arrives at the vending machine after a long time, the buyer has requested a refund or left the vending machine because he did not want to w...

However, when the existing vending machine system is designed, it is basically assumed that the network environment is good, and the processing of the weak network environment is not ideal.

In a weak network environment, goods damage is prone to occur. For example, when the shipping instruction sent by the server arrives at the vending machine after a long time, the buyer has requested a refund or left the vending machine because he did not want to wait, but the vending machine The product is still shipped according to the shipping instruction
