Abstract
A storage compartment contains a variety of products. In a vending machine, once a product is selected at a product selection part, a dispense product determination part determines a product to dispense based on a selected product data from the product selection part, data on products contained in each storage compartment, and a product dispense rule. If a plurality of storage compartments can dispense a selected product, or, none of the first-to-be-dispensed products in any storage compartments matches the selected product, the vending machine determines a product to dispense based on a given product dispense rule.
