ABSTRACT:
An information center transmits information as the object of sales to each information vending machine in advance through a communication line and stores it in the information storage portion of each information vending machine. Each information vending machine stores correspondence list which specifies the correspondence of each information vending machine with the information as the object of sales which is stored therein. When the information vending machine operated does not store the information requested by a purchaser in the information storage portion thereof, the information vending machine refers to the correspondence list, finds other information vending machine which stores the requested information, receives the information from the other information vending machine through the communication line and copies the information on a recording medium so as to sell the information. It is thus possible to increase the number of kinds of information sold by each information vending machines without increasing the capacity of the storage unit thereof.
