Intelligent vending machines appeared in Japan

Advertising technologies on the Web have been known for quite some time, when advertising is shown according to age, sex, and possibly the social position of a potential buyer. Such software is not a novelty; such software, as already mentioned, has long been known and is constantly being improved. So, now these technologies will be implemented not only on the Web, but also in vending machines. Probably no one will be surprised by the fact that all this will be tested and debugged in Japan. The Japanese will equip vending machines, which are very popular in this country, with age recognition technology and gender recognition.

For example, the machine will offer delicious green tea to older customers, and those who have not yet reached the age to pay attention to the pressure and heart function will be offered a equally tasty coffee drink. In addition, women will be offered drinks with low sugar content, because most of them young women really try to use products with low sugar content. It is clear that age and gender are not always suitable for some kind of query standard, but for the most part this is the case.

It should be noted that the products offered by the machine will vary from the time of day, season, air temperature. In the summer, in the afternoon, at elevated temperatures, the machine will offer something from the range of soft drinks. But in the winter, when hot, hot drinks are running, vending machines with new technology will offer tea and coffee. The developer of the new type of systems is the company JR East Water Business, which will equip its machines with a convenient touch screen instead of the usual buttons.

The first machine gun was installed in Tokyo, some more devices will soon start working. The company management informs that in March 2011 in Tokyo about 500 automatic machines with a face recognition system will operate.

In principle, some attempts to create such machines have already been, but these attempts could not be called too successful - the trading devices turned out to be too problematic. Let's hope that reliable vending machines of this type will appear in the CIS countries, at least in 5 years ...
