Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005036484A1] A tobacco dispenser for cigarettes and other similar products includes a mechanism for dispensing stock contained in the machine. The tobacco dispenser is ftu-ther provided with an input device, such as a radio frequency identifier (RFID) reader, non-volatile memory, and control logic. In operation, the dispenser is typically installed in a back-of-bar environment, where a customer may ask an attendant to purchase a packet of cigarettes. In order to make such a sale, the attendant swipes an RFID card against the RFID reader of the tobacco dispenser. This allows the RFID reader to access a unique serial number contained in the RFID card, which can then be verified against a set of authorisations maintained in the dispenser. The tobacco dispenser will only dispense a product if the attendant is suitably authorised.
