PURPOSE:To purchase a commodity without a card or a coin by detecting a fingerprint and increasing or decreasing the amount of money in a balance storage part corresponding to the transmitted fingerprint code. CONSTITUTION:The name and fingerprint code of a user are inputted from a fingerprint detecting and recognizing device 7 and a user registration panel 9. Further, an extraction button 4, a card return lever 5, a coin mechanism 6, an extracting mechanism 8, the fingerprint detecting and recognizing device 7, the user registration panel 9, etc., are connected to a CPU 1 and controlled by the CPU 1. When the user inserts a finger into a fingerprint detection part in a vending stand-by state, its fingerprint is read by the fingerprint detecting and recognizing device 7. When the extraction button 4 is operated, it is decided whether or not there is the balance larger than a vended price left at the balance storage part corresponding to the fingerprint code and when the balance is larger than the vended price, the extracting mechanism 8 is put in operation to perform a selling process and subtract the vended price from the balance of the balance storage part. |
