ACVM Specifications
• Alphanumeric keypad and display
– Three line LCD display unit on the top of the machine.
– Displays menus, entered text, pictograms, and welcome,
thank and other messages, and time and date.
– Child as well as the ACVM owner GUIs with the machine
using keypad and display.
• Multicoin module
– Coin insertion slot so that the child can insert the
coins to buy a chocolate
– Delivery slot to collect the chocolate, and coins if
refunded.
ACVM Requirements
Purpose:To sell chocolate through an ACVM
from which children can automatically
purchase the chocolates. The payment is by
inserting the coins of appropriate amount into
a coin-slot. To refund the coins.
• Inputs
– Coins of different denominations through a coin
slot.
– User commands
• Outputs
– Chocolate and signal (IPC) to the system that
subtracts the cost from the value of amount
collected.
– Display of the menus for GUIs, time and date,
advertisements, welcome and thank messages
Signals, Events and Notifications
• A mechanical system directs each coin to its
appropriate port − Port_1, Port_2 or Port_5.
•Each port generates an interrupt on receiving
the coin at input.
• Each port interrupt starts an ISR, which increase
value of amount collected by 1 or 2 or 5 and
posts an IPC to a waiting task the system.
• Each selected menu choice gives a notification
to the system
Input and Output Ports
Functions of the system
• A child sends commands to the system using a
GUI (graphic user interface).
• GUI consists of the LCD display and keypad units.
• The child inserts the coins for cost of chocolate
and the machine delivers the chocolate.
• If the coins are not inserted as per the cost of
chocolate in reasonable times then all coins are
refunded.
• If the coins are inserted of amount more than
the cost of chocolate, the excess amount is
refunded along with chocolate.
• The coins for the chocolates purchased collect
inside the machine in a collector channel, so
that owner can get the money, again through
appropriate commands using the GUI.
• USB wireless modem enables communication
through Internet to the ACVM owner
Design metrics
• Power Dissipation: As required by mechanical
units, display units and computer system
• Performance: One chocolate in two minutes
and 256 chocolates before next filling of
chocolates into the machine. [Assumed]
• Process Deadlines: Machine waits for
maximum 30 s for the coins and machine
should deliver the chocolate within 60 s.
• User Interfaces: Graphic at LCD or touch
screen display on LCD and commands by
children or machine owner through fingers on
keypad or touch screen
• Engineering Cost: US$ 50000 (assumed)
• Manufacturing Cost: US$ 1000 (assumed)
Test and validation conditions
• All user commands must function correctly
• All graphic displays and menus should appear
as per the program.
• Each task should be tested with test inputs
• Tested for 60 users per hour

Hardware architecture
• ACVM specific hardware to sort the coins of
different denomination and each
denomination Main Power supply 220 V 50
Hz or 110 V 60 Hz. Internal circuits drive by
supply of 5 V 50mA for electronic and 12 V 2 A
for mechanical systems.
• A TCP/IP port A 1 s resolution timer is
obtained by programming 8051 timer Flash
memory part of ROM and RAM for storing
temporary variables and stack 8 MB ROM for
application codes and RTOS codes
Microcontroller 8051MX
Software Architecture
• ISR_keypadInput, ISR_TimeDate, ISR_Ad,
ISR_Port1, ISR_Port2, ISR_Port3 are the ISR
which service the device interrupt.
• Task_GUI, Task_Display, TaskUser_KeypadInput,
Task_Communications, Task_ReadPorts,
Task_Refund, Task_ExcessRefund, Task_Collect,
Task_Delieverand Task_Display are the task
which kernel schedules.
RTOS
• An RTOS has to schedule the buying tasks
from start to finish.
• Let µC/OS-II be the RTOS used in ACVM
