Selling and/or self-service point and identification means for users of selling and/or self-service points

摘要

A holding member (9) of the automatic machine is controlled by its data processing device (29) in such a manner that it holds the identification means (3), introduced protruding into the automatic machine in a predetermined position, during the reading and possibly changing of its data in such a manner that it can only be pulled out of the machine by force but without damaging the automatic machine and/or identification means. When the identification means (3) is correctly used, this prevents the operation of the data processing device (29) from being disturbed by premature pulling-out of the identification means and the automatic machine and the identification means from being damaged when the identification means is pulled out by force. In addition, processes provided for the case of the identification means being prematurely pulled out by force can be triggered in the data processing device when a sensor (37) responds to the pulling-out of the identification means (3) when the holding member (9) is in its holding state.
