In add to this main processor 6a, it can be one, two or more additional processors, like those indicated from 6b and 6c, enslaved to the main processor 6a.

The hereby presented system has at least a processor 6a, which controls, thanks to system software and to application software, the whole machine 1 working ; at least an user interface 3a, composed from a monitor and a touch screen or a touch pad, and where, user interface 3a, the processor 6a displays to user the various messages, the various options and the whole process, and through that user can input his searching words, and/or part of them, for searching the data to insert in his choices and/or track list and then his input, interacting in this way with the machine 1.

System includes also at least a loud-speaker 5a, through that processor 6a can transmit the audio signals that will be converted from digital format to analog (analogic) format ; a mass storage 7, formed by memory supports, both SCSI and IDE, where all data, which can be audio, video, films and other as well as software, both of system and applications, and the databases with fields containing the information for the respective data research, are stored up ; at least a

banknotes reader 9 that, once user has introduced his banknotes for payment, tests their genuineness and it pass the information on to the processor 6a; at least a coin selector 18 that, once user has introduced his coins for payment, tests their authenticity and pass the information on to the processor 6a ; at least A EFT-POS magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8 in where user at first introduces his fidelity card 17 for its reading and/or writing and then, afterwards, his payment card, that can be Pagobancomat, Credit or the fidelity card 17 itself so that once it has read the information and it has sent them to the processor 6a, this last one provides to pass on, by modem, the payment authorization request to the interbank institution, having an agreement with the Service Center, and it waits for receiving from it, in the same way, the payment authorization number so as to proceed with the rest of the process; at least a GSM modem 10 through that the processor 6a sends and receives its payment requests, it connect itself to the different Institutions and/or Corporations data banks, having an agreement with the Service Center, for interacting with contained information and the booking and purchase choices made from user, it connect itself, at any machine 1 switching on, to the Service Center to receive the password for the machine 1 whole process starting up, it sends to a remote server 16 the filled up choices and the forwarded from user to the Service Center, as an order, to be recorded on the various available supports and then sent to user address and all alarms and/or intervention calls out- coming from the several self-diagnosis tests ; at least a phone line modem 11 through that the processor 6a sends and receives its payment requests, it connect itself to the different Institutions and/or Corporations data banks, having an agreement with the Service Center, for interacting with contained information and the booking and purchase choices made from user, it connect itself, at any machine 1 switching on, to the Service Center to receive the password for the machine 1 whole process starting up, it sends to a remote server 16 the filled up choices and the forwarded from user to the Service Center, as an order, to be recorded on the various available supports and then sent to user address and all alarms and/or intervention calls out-coming from the several self-diagnosis tests ; at least a se-moving and/or fixed CD column warehouse 12, to be applied with at least a limit switch sensor and in where jewel boxes are charged everyone containing at least a copyright authorization sticker applied blank CD, and it is

operated by at least a power unit, which can be an electrical motor or an hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor, controlled by the processor 6a, either directly or through a microprocessor or a PLC interface, so as to be moved in proximity of a slit to release outside, then to user, a jewel box containing at least a blank CD; at least a CD burner 13 to that, once a blank CD has issued to user, the processor 6a orders to open itself to receive the previously issued blank CD for being burned and then, once recorded, to be given back to user; at least a printer 14 to that the processor 6a orders to impress the information, the user selected data, the memos, the vouchers with the concerning financial transaction information ; at least an UPS 4 which grants the power supply continuity, if it goes, and which transmits its coming into use to the processor 6a so as to this last one provides to end up all current recording and printing processes and it puts the user interfaces 3 in a out-of-service status, to stop in this way any new users choice and compilation process beginning ; at least a remote servet 16 to that the processor 6a forwards, by modem, the made transactions report, the fidelity card 17 requesting form, user made choices and then forwarded from him to the Service Center, as an order, to be recorded on the various available supprts and then sent to user address and all alarms and/or intervention calls outcoming from the several self-diagnosis tests; the possibility to use a nominal fidelity card 17, which can both read and write and which gives the access the whole service gamma proposed to users and which can financially recharged to be used as a payment system.

Really, as drawed in the Fig. 1 itself, to allow more than an user (for example until three) to use contemporanealy the machine 1, over the processor 6a two additional processors 6b and 6c are employed, each one serving an its user interface 3 b and 3c, equipped also with a loud-speaker 5b and 5c. In this case, however the two additional processors 6b and 6c are linked to the main processor 6a because they carry out only indipendent interface duties with user, leaving all the other interaction duties with mass storage 7, with the various readers 8,9, and 18, with modems 10 and 11, with CD column warehouses 12, with CD burners 13, with printers 14, with remote server 16, etc. to the main processor 6a through that they work.

When one of the user interfaces 3a-b-c is not in use, its no activity is detected by one of the processor 6a-b-c which provides to put it in a stand-by

status and then to retrieve from the mass storage 7 some video that can be video clips, movie trailers and ad spots to broadcast on this no exploited user interface 3a-b-c in order to accomplish a screen saver, until an user, approaching the machine 1 and touching on the user interface 3a-b-c where screen saver are broadcasting, don't put the user interface 3a-b-c itself in condition to signal to the processor 6a-b-c, which controls it, its request to come in operation.

At this point user can introduce hi fidelity card 17 in the appropriate EFT- POS magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8, instead, in case, he doesn't have one, he can require it filling up the appropriate form supplied by the machine 1 on the exploited user interface 3a-b-c or he can in any case go on without it.

Once fidelity card 17 requesting form has been filled up, by confirming it, user authorizes processor 6a, directly or through one of the processor 6b or 6c, to forward it to the remote server 16, by phone line modem 11 and/or GSM modem so that the Service Center provides to issued and to send the respective fidelity card 17 to the user indicated address. Fidelity card 17 can be both read and written.

Then user can selecting if he wants immediately print and/or record the selected data, directly from the exploited machine 1, or if he wants order them for receiving them at the address filled in his fidelity card 17 requesting form.

In this second case the processor 6a sends the data selection, by modem which can be whether phone line 11 or GSM 10, to the remote server 16 so as to the Service Center provides to create the CD and/or the paper support to be sent to user.

Once user has chosen the service he wants purchase, one of the processor 6a-b-c provides to display the database, containing the research fields and the information, on an user interface 3a-b-c and allowing the demo reproduction, both sound, both visual, both audiovisual let listen to and show them, converting them from the analog (analogic) format to the digital format, thanks to loud-speakers Sa-b-c located nearness of each user interface 3a-b-c and/or thanks to the monitors forming every user interface 3a-b-c, allowing in this way user to get a bigger help in his selection realization, by inserting his input, through an user interface 3a-b-c and then with the selection confirmation or annulment.

Once user has confirmed his selection, one of the processor 6a-b-c

displays, on the exploited user interface, the amount due and it ask to user his preferred terms of payment.

In the case of payment by cash, user introduces the banknotes in the appropriate banknotes reader 9 and/or coins in the appropriate coins selector 18, whereas in case of payment by cards, he introduces the payment card into the EFT-POS magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8. At this point one of the processor 6a-b-c will use a modem, which can be whether phone line modem 11 or GSM modem 10, to forward card and transaction data, jointly to the amount due, to the having an agreement with interbank Institution, as authorization request.

Still processor 6a receives from the having an agreement with interbank Institution, by modem, GSM 10 or phone line 11, the payment confirmation.

Once payment has been cleared, the processor 6a provides to retrieve the respective data from the mass storage 7 and then to send them to a CD burner 13 and/or to a printer 14.

In the case data has been sent to a CD burner 13, the processor 6a send to CD column warehouse 12 the order to issue a blank CD, already inserted in its jewel box and with already applied the copyright authorization sticker, outside of an appropriate slit. The by processor 6a selected CD burner 13 opens itself to receive the blank CD to bum.

Contemporaneously the processor 6a sends the transaction data plus the selected data list to the printer 14 to impress the concerning inlay card and/or the transaction check.

If instead user selected data, through an user interface 3a-b-c are only to be print, the processor 6a, once retrieved the data from the machine 1 mass storage 7, sends them directly to the printer 14 to impress them on the operation appropriate memo, jointly at the concerning check printing.

At every machine 1 switching on the processor 6a connect itself, by GSM modem 10 or phone line modem 11, to the Service Center to get the password for his functional characters re-starting up and it makes a self-diagnosis test checking the quantity of jewel boxes, containing the already copyright authorization sticker applied blank CD, available in one of the blank CD se-moving column warehouses 12 and it will save the datum into the mass storage 7.

In case the sensor of minimum stock level, applied to a blank CD se- moving column warehouse 12, alerts the processor 6a about the minimum stock reaching, the processor 6a forwards the request of blank CD supplying to the remote server 16 and when the penultimate CD is issued, it put the respective user interface 3a-b-c or the entire machine 1 in the out-of-service status declaring the current impossibility to accept further services to that recording is coupled, in situ, on a CD support, this services could be in any case always be ordered to the Service Center, through call by phone line modem 11 or GSM modem 10 to the remote server 16.

If power supply is missed, the UPS 4 comes into operation supplying the machine 1 and contemporaneously it forwards its coming into operation message to processors 6a-b-c which provide to put every user interface 3a-b-c in the out-of- service status, for ending up in any case the already current and paid processes.

In Fig. 2 is depicted a possible housing 2 containing the whole electronic, electrical, hardware, mechanical and robotic components which form the machine 1.

Placed upon the housing 2 there could be a decoration 23, which can be luminous and/or lit, or a monitor, in order to make the machine 1 notable from afar, and supported by a upright 24.

From the front and if necessary also on the two machine 1 sides, located at a height, which can move from 1.20 meter to 1.70 meter, it's located at least one user interface 3a-b-c, which can be protected, on the top and on the two lateral sides, by a spoiler 22a-b-c, which guarantees to user some privacy and which protects user from sounds and noises coming from other user interfaces 3a-b-c and/or from the surroundings.

Under user interfaces 3a-b-c in the housing 2 middle columns there are at least a loop-hole or doorway 19 of CD burners; a loop-hole 20 for blank CD releasing; at least a loop-hole 21 of the printer; at least a loop-hole 27 for bankotes payment ; at least a loop-hole 28 for coins payment; at least a loop-hole for EFT- POS cards payment and for introducing the fidelity card 17 for its reading and writing; at least an alphanumeric keypad 30 to digit the various customers PIN coupled to at the fidelity cards 17 and/or at the EFT-POS payment cards; at least a display or monitor 31 to display the procedures for the EFT-POS payment services

and for fidelity cards 17 credit and/or debit operations.

User interface 3 is the instrument with that user can interact with the machine 1 to input to at least a processor 6. In fact user, through the user interface 3, can insert his data for receiving the fidelity card 17 forwarding, he can insert the password, and/or part of it, to search the data to be included in his selection or track list for its printing and/or for its recording and/or for its burning directly in situ on the machine 1 and/or for its ordering for its burning on a CD support.

Moreover, user, thanks to user interface 3, can interact by inserting and/or removing every single choice from his selection or tack list ; as well he can require to the machine 1 to proceed to the various next steps or he can annulled the current process and going back to first user screen; or he can decide if burning and/or printing in situ the data selected from him or if he wants order this operation, through the, into machine 1 included, phone line lland/or GSM 10 transmission devices, so they forward his choice to the Service Center's remote server 16. Finally, user can select the preferred payment method, both by cash and by payment cards.

Processor 6a of the machine 1, once received, from the magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8, user data, recorded in his fidelity card 17, to be included subsequently also in the report database, it guides user, directly or thanks one of the processor 6b and 6c, through the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, throughout all the phases of every single process, displaying on the user interface 3a-b-c monitor the several instructions to follow, the several options to choose and the amount due.

Furthermore, still processor 6a, once retrieved the data concerning an user choice, through an user interface 3a-b-c, is able to transmit, directly or thanks one of the processor 6b and 6c, some video and/or photographic samples on the exploited user interface 3a-b-c monitor and/or some audio samples through the loud-speaker 5a-b-c located inside or beside of the protecting spoiler 22a-b-c of every single user interface 3a-b-c.

Once displayed the amount due, on the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, one of the processor 6a-b-c will wait for user specifies, still through the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, his preferred terms of payment and then he proceed to payment by one of the payment loop-holes 27,28 and 29, both for payment by cash and

then through the banknotes reader 9 and the coins selector 18, and for payment by payment cards and then through the EFT-POS magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8.

For payment procedure by payment cards, the processor 6a guides the user throughout the several payment steps, displaying on the EFT-POS system display or monitor 31 the instructions to be followed and the different requesting and/or confirmation messages; moreover it invites user to insert the in use payment card coupled PIN code through the alphanumeric keypad 30 help located nearness the whole EFT-POS payment system.

Once cleared the payment, the processor 6a activates the CD se-moving column warehouse 12 in order it issues a blank CD, with the copyright authorization sticker already applied, to user through at least a loop-hole or blank CD doorway 20, and then it indicates, directly or through the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, in that loop-hole or doorway 19, correspondent at least a CD burner 13, to insert the blank CD for its burning.

Then, the processor 6a orders to at least one of the CD burners to open allowing user can charge his CD thanks to the aforesaid loop-hole or CD burners opening 19.

Once end up the data burning operation, the processor 6a orders to at least one of the printers 14 to impress and to release the appropriate memo inlay card and/or the concerning check through the printers loop-holes or doorway 21 and it finally sends the respective report, as accounting report, to the remote server 16 through the phone line modem 11 connected to phone network with the phone cable 25 which comes out from the housing 2 bottom side, or through GSM modem 10 which calls by the appropriate antenna 32 coming out from the housing 2.

Furthermore, still coming out from the housing 2 there is the power supply cable 26 connected on a side to the electrical network and on the other side, inside the housing 2, to the UPS 4.

In the end, when one of the user interfaces 3a-b-c, is not at the moment used from an user, the respective processor 6a-b-c, detecting its actual in no using status, it communicate this datum to the processor 6a which, once retrieved some video and/or pictures and/or sounds from the mass storage 7, it sends them,

directly or through the processor 6b or 6c to the involved monitor for their broadcasting as screen savers until a new user doesn't touch its touch screen making in this way the respective user interface 3a-b-c newly available for a new process.

In Fig. 3 it's depicted the flow chart for linking of the user interfaces 3a-b- c with the processor 6a-b-c and the mass storage 7, as well as the interactive procedure for data input from more than an user through more than an user interface 3a-b-c.

Once received the input from one of the user interface 3a-b-c, a processor 6a-b-c, connected to it and responsible of its working, sends them to processor 6a, programmed as the main one and responsible at his turn of an user interface 3a-b-c and of the data retrieving from the mass storage 7.

Each processor 6a-b-c, is also in charge to receive the request, from every single user interface 3a-b-c, to be put in the stand-by status and then it's in charge of the request and of the retrieving of the data, from the mass storage 7, directly in the case of processor 6a and in any case through the main processor 6a, to be broadcasted on this user interface 3a-b-c monitor as screen savers; moreover it's responsible of the request to be put in process again from this user interface 3a-b-c and then of the interactivity with the user interacting through this specified user interface conducing him throughout every single step of the option previously chosen from user.

In Fig. 4 is represented the approaching to the machine 1 flow chart 100 with the choice of the option of the procedure user wants follow and purchase and then with the consequent exploitation of the fidelity card 17 with included the possibility to recharge it and/or to use it as pre-charged payment system or if necessary of is request or of the choice to go on without using it nor requiring it.

User, approaching the machine 1 will find at least one of the user interfaces 3a-b-c not used and in the stand-by status, then with one of the processors 6a-b-c broadcasting some video and/or films on its monitor as screen savers, as indicated in a phase 102.

Touching the interested user interface 3a-b-c touch screen, user asks to one of the processor 6a-b-c to make again in operation the user interface 3a-b-c and to display the first phase of the several steps, here defined of Welcome, indicated in a

Once user decides to end his selection, the processor 6a displays, directly or through the processor 6b or 6c, the total amount due and then it invites him, in phase 724, to confirm his compilation.

If user decides to not confirm the compilation, the involved processor 6 takes the process back to the Screen of the Process to Follow Option, phase 702 (already 124), of the machine 1. In the opposite case it displays, in phase 726, on the user interface 3a-b-c the amount due asking to user the terms of payment he means to adopt.

If user selects to pay by cash he introduces, in phase 728, his banknotes into the appropriate banknotes reader 9 and/or his coins into the coins selector 18, which, once verified their genuineness, confirm it to the processor 6a as payment confirmation.

If user selects to pay through a payment card, Pagobancomat or credit card or the pre-charged fidelity card 17, he introduces, in phase 730, his card in the

appropriate EFT-POS magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8.

In the case of credit and debit cards and of the Pagobancomat card the processor 6a forwards, by GSM modem 10 or phone line modem 11, the information concerning the used payment card, the amount due, the machine 1 holder code and the machine 1 code to the agreed interbank institution as request of payment authorization, in phase 732, and it waits for receiving, in the same way, the payment authorization from the agreed interbank institution.

In the case of payment by the pre-charged fidelity card 17 the processor 6a, once it has been introduced into the magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8, in accordance with the phase 730, checks its credit, in accordance with a phase 734.

If the phase 734 comes out with an answer NO, the processor 6a, in accordance with the phase 736, requires to user, through the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, to use another payment system; if instead it comes out with an answer YES the processor 6a, in accordance with the phase 738, updates the credit reported on the fidelity card 17 by writing on it the new amount.

Once it has cleared the payment, the processor 6a, in phase 740, orders to one of the printers 14 to impress the inlay card on a paper support with the titles and respective information of the data selected and included in the compilation and then to be ordered to the Service Center for their burning on a CD support, jointly to the data concerning the transaction.

Finally, the processor 6a forwards, in phase 742, to the remote server 16, by GSM modem 10 or phone line modem 11, the done transaction report which forms the base for the incoming and revenues sharing out and the consequent invoicing for the involved licensing Companies, for the Service Center and for the machine 1 holders.

In the Fig. 11 it's depicts the flow chart 800 of the option of the CD, previously burned, delayed collecting, that allows user to program the machine 1 in order to can collect his own CD, burned, in a next time. This service is in off- line mode and it's available for everybody.

User, in phase 802 (already 124) of the first Screen of the Process to Follow Option, selecting the option 804 (already 134) of the option e) of CD compilation, he can select, through one of the user interface 3a-b-c, the typology

of the contents of the CD, phases from 806 to 814, previously burned and then to be collected, among the options of songs (audio), video clips (audiovisual), DVD digital film (audiovisual), movie trailers (audiovisual) and/or advertising spots (audiovisual).

Once user has selected, thanks to one of the user interfaces 3a-b-c, the typology of the content, one of the processors 6a-b-c leads user to the next phase 816 asking to user if he chooses the option to order his selection to the Service Center or if he prefers burning it in situ on the machine 1, or if instead he chooses the option of CD delayed collecting.

If user selects the first option, then to order his compilation to the Service Center, he will be taken back to the process depicted in the flow chart of the Fig.

10, while if user decides to burn the CD in situ on the machine 1, one of the processors 6a-b-c leads user to the phase 818 for collecting the CD, previously burned and preserved inside one of the CD burners 13 where it has been previously introduced.

When arrived to the phase 818, the user has the possibility to select (answer NO) if annulling the operation, in phase 820, and going back, then, to the Screen of the Process to Follow Option 802 (already 124), or (answer YES) to go on to the phase 822, where one of the processors 6a-b-c displays, on the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, an alphanumeric keypad, asking to user to digit the code previously assigned to him from the machine 1 to can collect later his own recorded CD, as depicted in the process of the Fig. 9 flow chart.

User, in the-phase 824, typing in the code, obtains that the involved processor 6a-b-c orders, in phase 826, to the CD burner 13, previously programmed to burn his CD and to keep it, for the selected interval, until the coupled code will be digit allowing it to open itself for handing back the CD to user.

In the Fig. 12 it's depicted the flow chart 900 of the several steps for the option f) e-commerce including the sale of gadgets and of objects generally through catalog,, also resident in the mass storage 7. This service can be both off- line, for the selection of the machine 1 internal mass storage 7 resident catalogs, and on-line for the selection of the resident catalogs in the data banks of the Institutions and/or Corporations, having an agreement with the Service Center,

and it's available only for the fidelity card 17 supplied users.

At the beginning user finds the Screen of the Process to Follow Option of the phase 902 (already 124), and then he selects in phase 904 (already 134) the option f) of e-commerce. Afterwards user chooses, through one of the user interfaces 3a-b-c, which catalog he wants consul for starting to make his selection.

Once user has selected the catalog in one of the phases from 906 to 910, one of the processors 6a-b-c displays on the user interface 3a-b-c a series of forms illustrating the objects sold by that catalog, in order to user can select in phase 912 those he agrees.

Once user has finished his compilation, one of the processors 6a-b-c asks him, in phase 914 if has end up and if he wants to confirm it or if he wants to proceed over with the further displaying of another catalog.

In the case of answer NO, user chooses to not proceed with further selections and he goes then to the phase 916 for his selection confirmation.

In the case of answer YES, user chooses to proceed over with the displaying and the with the consulting of further and/or another catalog. One of the processors 6a-b-c brings, on the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, the displaying of the phase 904 (already 136) of the option f) of e-commerce, in order to allow him to can select a new catalog in one of the phases from 906 to 910.

When user has finished his selection and he has decided, in phase 916, to not confirm the aforesaid compilation (answer NO), one of the processors 6a-b-c brings, on the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, the first Screen of the Process to Follow Option of the phase 902 (already 124).

If instead user has finished and confirms his selection (answer YES), one of the processors 6a-b-c, asks him in phase 918, through the user interface 3a-b-c, the terms of payment he wants adopt.

If user selects, in accordance with the phase 920, to pay by cash he introduces his banknotes into the appropriate banknotes reader 9 and/or his coins into the coins selector 18, which, once verified their genuineness, confirm it to the processor 6a as payment confirmation, in phase 918.

If user selects, in phase 922, to pay through a payment card, Pagobancomat or credit card or the pre-charged fidelity card 17, he introduces his card in the appropriate EFT-POS magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8.

In the case of credit and debit cards and of the Pagobancomat card the processor 6a forwards, by GSM modem 10 or phone line modem 11, the information concerning the used payment card, the amount due, the machine 1 holder code and the machine 1 code to the agreed interbank institution as request of payment authorization, in phase 924, and it waits for receiving, in the same way, the payment authorization from the agreed interbank institution.

In the case of payment by the pre-charged fidelity card 17 the processor 6a, once it has been introduced into the magnetized strip and/or micro-chip reader 8, in accordance with a phase 922, checks its credit, in accordance with a phase 926.

If the phase 926 comes out with an answer NO, the processor 6a, in accordance with a phase 928, requires to user, through the exploited user interface 3a-b-c, to use another payment system; if instead it comes out with an answer YES the processor 6a, in accordance with a phase 930, updates the credit reported on the fidelity card 17 by writing on it the new amount.

Once it has cleared the payment, the processor 6a orders, in phase 932, to one of the printers 14 to impress the transaction concerning voucher as confirmation of the selected objects purchase.

Then, the processor 6a sends to the remote server 16, through GSM modem 10 or phone line modem 11, the done transaction report in order to, in phase 934, a copy will be forwarded. to the Organizations holders of the catalog where the selected and bought objects are included, as confirmation and order for their shipping to user at the address filled up in his fidelity card 17.

All the above here exposed it describes and illustrates no limitative examples of the invention realization and to whom are expert in this particular technical field it comes into mind, by reading of the previous descriptions, some solutions logically similar and equivalent to be considered included within the field of the invention as set out from the appended claims.

For example, the quantity of processors 6 and the quantity of user interfaces 3 employed in the present machine 1 can be whatever, both bigger than smaller than the number three here depicted and represented in the Fig. 1,2 and 3.

The processor 6 can interfaces itself with the different components of the whole process of the machine 1, by connections with parallel ports, serial ports, infrared rays (optical communications), USB (Universal Serial Bus) and it can

control the various components both directly and indirectly through additional processors and/or PLC boars.

Still, the links and connections of the machine 1 with external apparata and devices for the information exchange cannot be limited to the via cable connections 25 or to the via antenna 32, and they could happen also through optical fibers, parabolic antennas, laser bearings and equivalent similar devices.
