Outdoor vending machine and use of a user interface for operating an outdoor vending machine

摘要

The invention relates to an open-air vending machine (1, 1). It comprises the following elements: a user interface (25, 25 ') with a cover plate (5), in whose area operating information (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, 21e, 21f, 21g) and coupled to the cover plate (5) Force sensors (23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d) are arranged which output signals (MDa, MDb, MDc, MDd) as a function of an external force applied thereto via the cover plate (5) , evaluation electronics (33) having a pressure point determination unit (31) for determining pressure points on the cover plate (5) on the basis of the signals (MDa, MDb, MDc, MDd) of the force sensors (23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d), an allocation unit (35) which assigns different operator commands (BB) during operation to different pressure points, and a processing unit (39) which performs sales actions (VA) during operation on the basis of the operator commands (BB). In this case, the operation information (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, 21e, 21f, 21g) includes operator command information located at least partially in or on a printing area on the cover plate (5) in which a pressure point is activated by touch is assigned to the assignment unit (35) to the operator command information corresponding operator commands (BB). Moreover, the invention relates to the use of a user interface (25, 25 ') for an outdoor vending machine (1).
