Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate apparatus and an automatic ticket gate method that are installed at a transportation station such as a train or a bus and can process a wireless card and a magnetic ticket possessed by a user.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, an automatic ticket gate apparatus that is installed at a transportation station such as a train or a bus and can process a wireless card and a magnetic ticket possessed by a user has been put into practical use. (Patent Document 1)
In such an automatic ticket gate apparatus, a pole portion provided with a sensor for detecting the passage of a user has been erected on the main body. However, in recent years, a reflection type sensor provided at the upper portion of the main body without the pole portion. It has come to detect the passage of the user using.

Further, as a function for continuously permitting the passage of the user in the passage, it has a function of using a regular ticket counter. (Patent Document 2)
As this function, every time a correct ticket is judged, the correct ticket counter is counted up, and when a passage of a person having a predetermined height is detected by a reflection type exit detection sensor provided at the end of the passage. The ticket counter is supposed to count down.

As a result, there is a case where the correct counter of the correct counter is not counted down for a user who does not reach the height only by the detection output of the reflection type exit detection sensor. There is a possibility that subsequent users can pass without a bill, and accurate human detection control cannot be performed.
In other words, since the detection of the passage of a person is detected at a certain height, the correct ticket counter is not normally reduced by -1 when a person who does not reach the certain height passes or when a child's determination OK ticket is inserted, In spite of the passage of a person, there is a drawback that if the correct ticket counter is within a certain period of time, a person can pass even if the ticket is not inserted.

If the ticket distributed by the distribution gate 33 is a ticket to be collected, the distribution gate 35 distributes the ticket distributed by the distribution gate 35 in the direction of the collection unit 34 for collecting the ticket. Forgotten ticket or over-numbered ticket (occurs when a person with a ticket that can go to a further station gets off at a nearby station by mistake) and a contact ticket (to be transferred to another railway) However, it occurs when the ticket gets off at a different station).

  FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the control system of the automatic ticket gate configured as described above. That is, this control system reads from a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 41 that controls the entire automatic ticket gate, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 42 that stores a control program of the CPU 41, and a magnetic ticket. Entry station where the use of RAM (Random Access Memory) 43 as a storage means for storing information or information transmitted from a wireless card and as a buffer for a control program, magnetic ticket or wireless card is started (Or an admission station code corresponding to an admission station) A fare memory 44 storing fare information corresponding to the admission station, a control circuit 45 for controlling the ticket processing unit 32, and conveyance for driving a conveyance system such as the conveyance path 31 A conveyance control circuit 48 for driving and controlling the motor 47 and a door opening / closing mechanism 49 for driving the door 7. A door control circuit 50 to be controlled, a human detection circuit 51 for detecting a user's passing condition based on detection outputs of the detection sensors and the proximity sensors 27 and 28, a control circuit 52 for controlling the guidance display unit 6, and the antenna 5 includes a transmission / reception circuit 53 for transmitting / receiving information to / from the wireless card and a transmission control circuit 54 for transmitting information to / from a host computer (not shown) that controls the apparatus.

  Next, with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the traffic control by the magnetic card in the above configuration will be described.

  That is, when a user inserts a magnetic card such as a ticket into the insertion slot 3, the ticket processing unit 32 starts reading ticket gate information recorded on the magnetic card and sends it to the CPU 41.

  At this time, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the tickets 11a to 18b and 21 to 26 inserted according to the ticket gate information are correct tickets (ST1).

When the determination result is a correct ticket, the CPU 41 counts up the correct ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 (ST2).
When the CPU 41 determines that the correct ticket is for adults (ST3), the two sensors of the detection sensor (exit part reflection sensor) 18a and the detection sensor (exit part transmission sensor) 25 simultaneously become “dark”. When the two sensors of the detection sensor 18b and the detection sensor (outlet transmission sensor) 25 become “dark” at the same time (see FIG. 4C), the detection sensor 18b (see FIG. 4A) When the three sensors 18a and 18b and the detection sensor 25 become “dark” at the same time (see (d) of FIG. 4) (ST4), it is determined whether an adult has passed through the exit, and the correct counter in the RAM 43 43a is counted down (ST5).

  In Step 3, when the CPU 41 determines that the correct ticket is for adults, when one sensor of the detection sensor 25 becomes “dark” (see FIG. 4B) (ST6), It is determined that the child has passed through the exit, and the correct ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 is counted down (ST5).

  In step 4, when dark detection by the detection sensors 18a, 18b, and 25 described above is not performed, the CPU 41 determines that there is no ticket at the outlet 4 (ST7), and each detection sensor in the passage is clear. If it is determined that there is no person in the passage (ST8), and it is determined that there are no people before and after the passage because the proximity sensors 27 and 28 are dark (ST9), not only in the passage It is determined that there is no person before and after the passage, and the correct ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 is cleared (ST10).

  In step 7, when the CPU 41 determines that there is a ticket at the outlet 4, or in step 8, the CPU 41 determines that there is a person in the passage because one of the detection sensors in the passage is dark. At this time, the process returns to Step 3.

  In Steps 4 and 6, when the dark detection by the detection sensors 18a, 18b, and 25 described above is not performed, the CPU 41 determines that there is no ticket at the outlet 4 (ST7), and each detection sensor in the passage becomes bright. It is determined that there is no person in the passage (ST8), and it is determined that there is no target user when a certain time has elapsed after the correct ticket is determined in step 1 (ST11). Then, the bill counter 43a in the RAM 43 is cleared (ST10).

  In addition, when the CPU 41 cannot determine the correct ticket in the above step 1, the detection sensor 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b, 23, 24 detects the person in the center of the passage (ST12), The doors 7 and 7 are closed (ST13). After this, when the CPU 41 determines that the person has returned to the entrance side (input port side) based on the detection state by the detection sensors 11a, 11b, 21, and 22, (ST14), the doors 7 and 7 are opened and the passage through the door is performed. The blocking is released (ST15), and the process returns to step 1.

  Next, traffic control by a wireless card will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  That is, when the user presents the wireless card in the communication area of the antenna 5, the transmission / reception circuit 53 communicates with the wireless card via the antenna 5 to thereby perform data memory (not shown) of the wireless card. The ticket gate information and purchase information stored in () are read and sent to the CPU 41.

  At this time, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the wireless card presented by the ticket gate information is correct (ST21).

When the determination result is a correct wireless card, the CPU 41 counts up the correct ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 (ST22).
Then, when the CPU 41 determines that the correct wireless card is for adults (ST23), when the two sensors of the detection sensor 18a and the detection sensor 25 become “dark” at the same time (see FIG. 4A). When the two sensors of the detection sensor 18b and the detection sensor 25 are simultaneously "dark" (see (c) in FIG. 4), the three sensors of the detection sensors 18a and 18b and the detection sensor 25 are simultaneously "dark". When this happens (see (d) of FIG. 4) (ST24), it is determined that the adult has passed through the exit, and the correct ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 is counted down (ST25).

  In step 23, when the CPU 41 determines that the correct wireless card is for adults, when one sensor of the detection sensor 25 becomes “dark” (see FIG. 4B) (ST26), It is determined that the child has passed through the exit, and the correct ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 is counted down (ST25).

  In steps 24 and 26, when the dark detection by the detection sensors 18a, 18b, and 25 described above is not performed, the CPU 41 determines that there is no person in the passage because each detection sensor in the passage is bright. However, when it is determined that there are no people before and after the passage due to the darkness of the proximity sensors 27 and 28 (ST29), it is determined that there are no people before and after the passage as well as in the passage. The regular ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 is cleared (ST30).

  In step 28, when the CPU 41 determines that there is a person in the passage because one of the detection sensors in the passage is dark, the process returns to step 23.

  In step 24, when the dark detection by the detection sensors 18a, 18b, and 25 described above is not performed, the CPU 41 determines that there is no person in the passage because each detection sensor in the passage is bright ( ST28) When a certain time has elapsed since the correct wireless card was determined in step 1 (ST31), it is determined that there is no target user, and the correct ticket counter 43a in the RAM 43 is cleared (ST30).

  If the CPU 41 cannot determine the correct wireless card in step 21, the detection sensor 14a, 14b, 15a, 15b, 23, 24 detects a person in the center of the passage (ST32). , 7 are closed (ST33). Thereafter, when the CPU 41 determines that the person has returned to the entrance side (input port side) based on the detection state by the detection sensors 11a, 11b, 21, and 22, (ST34), the doors 7 and 7 are opened and the passage by the door is performed. The blocking is released (ST35), and the process returns to step 1.

  As described above, the counter of the genuine bill counter is counted by the detection output by the two reflection type exit detection sensors intersecting the passage, and the child is detected by the detection output by the transmission type exit detection sensor crossing the passage. The countdown of the genuine ticket counter accompanying the passage of the is performed.

  In other words, by changing the detection method of the exit part reflection sensor depending on the adult / child of the correct ticket, subtracting the correct counter more accurately and attaching the proximity sensor to the front and back, not only in the passage but also before and after the passage The system detects the presence / absence of a person and decides to clear the correct ticket counter.

  This avoids the case where the correct counter of the child ticket is not accurately counted down only by the detection output of the reflection type exit detection sensor, that is, the correct counter of the child ticket is accurately counted down and there is no subsequent customer. The possibility of passing with a bill can be avoided, and accurate human detection control can be performed.
