Next, in such a configuration, the ticket inspection processing operation for the money card A and the number-of-times card B will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, boarding (entry; ticket gate) using the price card A in a state where the main body 1 is used as an automatic ticket gate for performing an entry operation will be described. Now, when the customer inserts the money card A into the slot 2, the money card A is transported on the transport path 21 in the direction of the arrow a. Then, the money card A reaches the reading heads 23 and 24 after being positioned by the positioning unit 22. At this time, when the back surface of the money card A, that is, the magnetic recording surface is the lower surface, the magnetic recording contents are read by the read head 23 and stored in the internal memory 70a. In addition, amount card A
When the back surface of the magnetic recording surface is the upper surface, the magnetic recording content is read by the read head 24 and the internal memory 70a is read.
Is stored.

The CPU 70 analyzes the stored contents stored in the internal memory 70a, and determines the insertion of the amount card A when the recording method is the F2F method and the recorded contents correspond to the amount card.

In other words, if the pitch of the recording bits is narrow and the data is meaningful in every four bits in the longitudinal direction (every eight bits), it is determined to be the F2F method. Further, it is determined from the data that the amount card A is inserted. Furthermore, depending on the content of the data, whether the ticket is inserted from the front,
Judge whether it is inserted from the rear, and read head 23,
The front and back sides of the ticket are determined according to which of 24 is read.

Further, the CPU 70 processes the content stored in the internal memory 70a according to the recording method and the input direction determined as described above,
The contents of the magnetic recording unit of the amount card A, that is, data indicating the amount card, date data, time data, departure station data, machine number data, and remaining amount (balance) data are read, and data indicating the amount card is used. The determination unit 91 determines that the ticket is correct and is a money card.

Next, the CPU 70 determines whether or not the entry has been correctly made last time based on the supplied car number and entry data. That is, if the entry data is erased corresponding to the last used ticket gate device except for an unused card in the ticket gate device, it is determined that correct boarding is performed, and if the entrance data is not deleted, Judge illegal boarding (illegal use).

Then, when a correct ride is determined, the CPU 70 determines whether or not the remaining amount has reached the minimum section fare. Further, when the remaining amount has reached the minimum section fee as a result of this determination, the CPU 70 writes the write head
The date, time, departure station, car number, and entry data are recorded in the magnetic recording unit of the amount card A using 25 or 26, and the amount obtained by subtracting the minimum section fee from the current remaining amount is recorded as a new balance. .

Thereafter, the contents of the magnetic recording unit of the money card A are read by the reading head 27 or 28 and supplied to the CPU 70. Then, the CPU 70 checks whether or not the data recorded on the amount card A is correct. If the check result is correct, the entrance information printing area 50b is printed using the thermal head 29 or 30 according to the above-mentioned insertion direction. , The date and time, the departure station as the entry data, and the number of the ticket gate device, that is, the machine number, are printed in a visible state. At this time, the CPU 70 displays the new balance on the display unit 5. If the use time is within a specific time period (9:30 to 16:30), a discount mark 50g is printed.

Then, the CPU 70 discharges the amount card A from the discharge port 3 while the gates 4 and 9 are open, that is, while the passage of the input person is permitted. As a result, the user passes through the passage 11 and receives the amount card A.

Also. When the remaining amount is not determined when the CPU 70 determines the remaining amount, the CPU 70 displays the remaining amount before the minimum fee is subtracted on the display unit 5 and displays the guidance. In this case, the CPU 70 closes the gate 4, causes the amount card A to be transported on the transport path 21, and discharges the amount card A from the discharge port 3.

If the entry data is not erased by the CPU 70 and an illegal ride (use) is determined, the amount card A
It is conveyed above, is discharged from the discharge port 3 and closes the gate 4 to prevent the input person from passing. At this time, the CPU 70 outputs the alarm to the monitoring device 100.

As a result, the attendant checks whether the arrival station data as entry data is printed in the entry information printing area 50c for the previous use of the returned amount card A, and if the data is printed correctly, The date, time, departure station, and unit number are printed on the entrance information printing area 50b of the amount card A by a staff device (not shown), and the date, time, departure station, unit number, and entrance are printed on the magnetic recording unit. Record the data, update the remaining amount data by subtracting it with the lowest section fee, return it to the customer,
Allow passage.

In addition, when the departure station data of the entry data is not recorded in the entrance information printing area 50c, the attendant performs a process for illegal boarding. In this case, both the attendant and the customer can visually check whether the arrival station data (entry data) has been recorded in the entry information printing area 50c of the last use, so that the check for unauthorized riding can be done only by mechanical confirmation. They can be visually checked without any conflicts.

Next, a description will be given of getting off (entry; bill collection) by the price card A in a state where the main body 1 is used as an automatic ticket gate device that performs entry work. Now, when the customer inserts the money card A into the slot 2, the money card A is transported on the transport path 21 in the direction of the arrow a. Then, the money card A reaches the reading heads 23 and 24 after being positioned by the positioning unit 22. At this time, when the back surface of the money card A, that is, the magnetic recording surface is the lower surface, the magnetic recording contents are read by the read head 23 and stored in the internal memory 70a. Also,
When the back surface of the money card A, that is, the magnetic recording surface is the upper surface, the magnetic recording contents are read by the read head 24 and stored in the internal memory 70a.

The CPU 70 analyzes the stored contents stored in the internal memory 70a, and determines the insertion of the amount card A when the recording method is the F2F method and the recorded contents correspond to the amount card.

In other words, if the pitch of the recording bits is narrow and the data is meaningful in every four bits in the longitudinal direction (every eight bits), it is determined to be the F2F method. In addition, it is determined whether the ticket is inserted from the front or the rear according to the content of the data, and the front and back of the ticket are determined according to which of the reading heads 23 and 24 has read.

Further, the CPU 70 processes the contents stored in the internal memory 70a according to the recording method and the insertion direction determined as described above, so that the contents of the magnetic recording unit of the amount card A, that is, data indicating the amount card, date data, time data, The station data, the machine number data, and the remaining amount (balance) data are read, and the determination unit 91 determines that the ticket is correct and is a value card using the data indicating the value card. At this time,
A check is also made to see if the entry takes place on the same day, or if the entry has not taken place after a lapse of time which is clearly too long with respect to the standard predetermined travel time.

Next, the CPU 70 determines whether or not the last entry was correct based on the supplied car number and entry data. That is, when the entry data is added to the previous data (not deleted), it is determined that the correct riding is performed, and when the entry data is not added (deleted), the illegal Judge the ride.

If a correct ride is determined, the CPU 70 calculates the required fare from the departure station to the arrival station, that is, the fare from the entrance station of the amount card A to the main installation station, as a discount rate of the use time (discount by time zone). Read from the corresponding fare table 88,
The required balance (fare) is subtracted from the remaining balance, and the new balance is calculated by adding the minimum fare that has been previously reduced (at the time of entry).

Then, the CPU 70 determines the deducted amount as a new remaining amount, displays the new remaining amount on the display unit 5, and writes the write head 25 or 26 in accordance with the insertion direction.
While updating the contents of the magnetic recording unit, that is, the remaining amount data, and recording the arrival station data and the car number data,
Clear admission data. Thereafter, the contents of the magnetic recording unit of the money card A are read by the reading head 27 or 28 and supplied to the CPU 70. Then, the CPU 70 checks whether or not the data (updated) recorded in the magnetic recording unit is correct. If the result of this check is correct, the gates 4 and 9 are checked.
The money card A is discharged from the discharge port 3 while the icon is open, that is, while the passing of the input person is permitted. At the time of this discharge, CPU7
0 prints a new remaining amount on the amount card A using the thermal head 29 or 30. As a result, the user passes through the passage 11 and receives the amount card A.

Further, the CPU 70 outputs the processing date and time, the number of the car at the time of entry (entrance information), the data indicating the price card, and the number of the ticket gate (the information on the exit) to the control unit 101 of the data totaling apparatus 100. Accordingly, the control unit 101 determines the entry station and the entrance ticket gate based on the number of the car at the time of entry, and determines the entrance station based on the number of the car at the time of entry. The corresponding storage contents of 104 are updated and recorded. That is, the control unit 101 sets the number of cases for the money card A of the same station on the same processing day of the above-mentioned entry station and the entrance ticket gate to “+1” for the number-of-processes file in the getting-on / off recording unit 104.
Then, the number of cases for the amount card A at the processing time every hour is set to “+1”, and the number of cases for the amount card A at the same entrance station (departure station) is set to “+1”.

When the remaining amount is determined, if the amount is not enough as a result of the determination, the CPU 70 displays the value on the display unit 5 (displayed with a minus sign). In this case, the CPU 70 outputs the amount card A to the outlet 3
, And the gate 4 is closed to prevent the input person from passing. In addition, the CPU 40 uses the display unit 5 to provide a guide to the customer to have the money card A discharged and settle it at the checkout station.

If the entry data is not stored according to the determination result of the CPU 70, and the illegal ride (use) is determined, the money card A is discharged from the discharge port 3 and the gate 4 is closed to allow the passer to pass. Block. At this time, the CPU 70 issues an alarm to another device for the attendant.

As a result, the clerk checks whether the departure station data as the entrance data is printed in the entrance information printing area 50b of the returned amount card A, and if the data is correctly printed, the clerk (not shown) The destination station, the number, and the new balance are printed in the entry information printing area 50d of the amount card A by the device of the above, the remaining amount data of the magnetic recording unit and the like are updated, returned to the customer, and Allow the passage of.

In addition, when the departure station data of the entrance data is not recorded in the entrance information printing area 50b, the attendant performs a process for an illegal ride. In this case, the entrance information printing area 50
Both staff and passengers can visually check whether the date and departure station data (entrance data) are recorded in b, so that not only mechanical confirmation but also visual confirmation of illegal boarding can be confirmed, and both sides compete. Does not occur.

Next, a description will be given of boarding (entrance) using the number card B in a state where the main body 1 is used as an automatic ticket gate device for performing an entry operation. Now, card B by the customer
Is inserted into the slot 2, the number of times that the card B
21 is conveyed in the direction of arrow a. Then, the number card B
Reaches the read heads 23 and 24 after being aligned by the alignment unit 22. At this time, when the back surface of the count card B, that is, the magnetic recording surface is the lower surface, the magnetic recording contents are read by the read head 23 and stored in the internal memory 70a. When the back surface of the number card B, that is, the magnetic recording surface is the upper surface, the magnetic recording contents are read by the read head 24 and stored in the internal memory 70a.

The CPU 70 analyzes the stored contents stored in the internal memory 70a, and determines the insertion of the count card B when the recording method is the F2F method and the recorded content corresponds to the count card.

In other words, if the pitch of the recording bits is narrow and the data is meaningful in every four bits in the longitudinal direction (every eight bits), it is determined to be the F2F method. Further, it is determined from the data that the number card B is inserted. Furthermore, depending on the content of the data, whether the ticket is inserted from the front,
Judge whether it is inserted from the rear, and read head 23,
The front and back sides of the ticket are determined according to which of 24 is read.

Further, the CPU 70 processes the content stored in the internal memory 70a according to the recording method and the input direction determined as described above,
The contents of the magnetic recording unit of the count card B, that is, data indicating the count card, date data, time data, departure station data, unit number data, section information, expiration date and remaining count data, and data indicating those count cards, Using the expiration date or the like, the determining unit 91 determines that the ticket is correct and is a count card.

Next, the CPU 70 determines whether or not the entry has been correctly made last time based on the supplied car number and entry data. That is, if the entry data is deleted corresponding to the last used ticket gate except for an unused card in the ticket gate, it is determined that the correct boarding is performed, and if the entrance data is not deleted, Judge illegal riding.

Then, when a correct ride is determined, the CPU 70 determines whether or not there is a remaining number of times. Further, if there is a remaining number of times as a result of this determination, the CPU 70
Using the write head 25 or 26, record the date, time, departure station, car number, and admission data in the magnetic recording section of the number card B, and record the new remaining number with the current remaining number "-1". I do.

Thereafter, the contents of the magnetic recording unit of the count card B are read by the read head 27 or 28 and supplied to the CPU 70. Then, the CPU 70 checks whether or not the data recorded on the count card B is correct, and if the result of this check is correct, the thermal head 29 or 30 is used to enter the entrance information printing area 60b according to the above-described insertion direction. The date, time, departure station as entrance data, and the number of the ticket gate, that is, the number of the ticket gate, are printed in a visible state. At this time, the CPU 70 displays the remaining number on the display unit 5.

Then, the CPU 70 discharges the card B from the discharge port 3 while keeping the gates 4 and 9 open, that is, while permitting the passer. As a result, the user passes through the passage 11 and receives the number card B.

If there is no remaining number as a result of the remaining number determination, the CPU 70 flickers the remaining number 0 on the display unit 5.
In this case, the CPU 70 closes the gate 4 and discharges the card B from the discharge port 3 through the discharge port 3.

If the entry data is not erased by the CPU 70 and an illegal ride (use) is determined, the count card B is discharged from the discharge port 3 and the gate 4 is closed to prevent the passer from passing. At this time, the CPU 70
Output a navel alarm.

As a result, the attendant checks whether the arrival station data as entry data is printed in the exit information printing area 60c for the previous use of the returned number card B, and if the data is printed correctly, The date, time, departure station, and unit number are printed in the entrance information print area 60b of the number card B by a staff device (not shown), and the date, time, departure station, unit number, and entrance are printed on the magnetic recording unit. The data is recorded and the remaining number is updated to "-1", returned to the customer, and allowed to pass through the passage 11.

In addition, if the departure station data of the entry data is not recorded in the entrance information printing area 60c, the attendant performs a process for illegal boarding. In this case, both the attendant and the customer can visually check whether the arrival station data (entry data) has been recorded in the entry information printing area 60c of the previous use, so that the check for unauthorized riding can be done only by mechanical confirmation. They can be visually checked without any conflicts.

Next, a description will be given of getting off (entry) using the number card B in a state where the main body 1 is used as an automatic ticket gate device that performs entry work. Now, card B by the customer
Is inserted into the slot 2, the number of times that the card B
21 is conveyed in the direction of arrow a. Then, the number card B
Reaches the read heads 23 and 24 after being aligned by the alignment unit 22. At this time, when the back surface of the count card B, that is, the magnetic recording surface is the lower surface, the magnetic recording contents are read by the read head 23 and stored in the internal memory 70a. When the back surface of the number card B, that is, the magnetic recording surface is the upper surface, the magnetic recording contents are read by the read head 24 and stored in the internal memory 70a.

The CPU 70 analyzes the stored contents stored in the internal memory 70a, and determines the insertion of the count card B when the recording method is the F2F method and the recorded content corresponds to the count card.

In other words, if the pitch of the recording bits is narrow and the data is meaningful in every four bits in the longitudinal direction (every eight bits), it is determined to be the F2F method. Further, it is determined whether the ticket is inserted from the front or the rear according to the content of the data, and the reading heads 23 and 24 are determined.
The front and back sides of the ticket are determined according to which of the two is read.

Also, the CPU 70 processes the content stored in the internal memory 70a according to the recording method and the insertion direction determined as described above, so that the content of the magnetic recording unit of the count card B, that is, data indicating the count card, section information, expiration date, date The data, the time data, the departure station data, the machine number data, the remaining number data, and the entry data are read, and the data indicating the number card B, the expiration date, etc. It is determined that the card is a count card and that the vehicle is getting off within the section.

Next, the CPU 70 determines whether or not the last entry was correct based on the supplied car number and entry data. That is, when the entry data is added to the previous data (not deleted), it is determined that the correct riding is performed, and when the entry data is not added (deleted), the illegal Judge the ride.

If it is determined that the ride is correct, the CPU 70 records the contents of the magnetic recording unit, that is, the arrival station data and the car number data, using the write head 25 or 26 according to the insertion direction, and erases the entry data. I do. After this, the number card B
Is read by the read head 27 or 28 and supplied to the CPU 70. Then, the CPU 70 checks whether or not the data (updated) recorded in the magnetic recording unit is correct. If the result of this check is correct, the gates 4 and 9 are kept open, that is, the passage of the submitter is permitted. The number card B is discharged from the discharge port 3 as it is. At the time of this ejection, the CPU 70 prints the arrival station, the machine number, and the remaining number on the number card B using the thermal head 29 or 30.
As a result, the customer passes through the passage 11 and
Receive.

Further, the CPU 70 outputs the processing date and time, the number of the car at the time of entry (entrance information), data indicating the number-of-times card, and the number of the ticket gate (exit information), to the control unit 101 of the data totaling apparatus 100. Accordingly, the control unit 101 determines the entry station and the entrance ticket gate based on the number of the car at the time of entry, and determines the entrance station based on the number of the car at the time of entry. The corresponding record contents of 104 are updated and recorded. That is, the control unit 101 sets the number of cases for the number of processed cards in the entry station and the entrance ticket gate to the number card B of the same processing day to "+1" for the number of processed cases file in the getting on / off recording unit 104.
Then, the number of cases for the number-of-times card B at the processing time every hour is “+1”, and the number of cases for the number-of-times card B of the same entrance station (departure station) is “+1”.

In the case where the entry data is not recorded according to the determination result of the CPU 70 and the illegal ride (use) is determined, the number card B is discharged from the discharge port 3 and the gate 4 is closed to prevent the passer from passing. . Also at this time
The CPU 70 outputs the alarm to the monitoring device 100.

As a result, the attendant checks whether the departure station data as entrance data is printed in the entrance information printing area 60b of the returned number card B, and if the data is correctly printed, the attendant With the device, the arrival station, the machine number, and the new balance are printed in the entry information printing area 60d of the number card B, and the remaining number data of the magnetic recording unit is updated, returned to the customer, 11
Allow the passage of.

In addition, when the departure station data of the entrance data is not recorded in the entrance information printing area 60b, the attendant performs a process for an illegal ride. In this case, the entrance information printing area 60
Both staff and passengers can visually check whether the date and departure station data (entrance data) are recorded in b, so that not only mechanical confirmation but also visual confirmation of illegal boarding can be confirmed, and both sides compete. Does not occur.

In the case of a ticket, a commuter pass, or a coupon, the same processing is performed as in the case of the amount card A or the coupon card B. In this case, the CPU 70
The device number (entrance information) at the time of entry, data indicating a ticket, a commuter pass, or a coupon ticket, and the number of the ticket gate device (entrance information) are output to the control unit 101 of the data totaling device 100. Accordingly, the control unit 101 determines the entry station and the entrance ticket gate based on the number of the car at the time of entry, and determines the entrance station based on the number of the car at the time of entry. The corresponding record contents of 104 are updated and recorded. That is, the control unit 101, for the number of processed files in the boarding and alighting recording unit 104, the number of cases for the above-mentioned entry station, exit ticket gate, ticket, commuter pass, or coupon of the same processing day is `` +1 '', The number of tickets, commuter passes, or coupons at the processing time every hour is set to "+1", and the number of tickets, commuter passes, or coupons of the same entrance station (departure station) is set to "+1".

Next, a description will be given of an operation of confirming the data totaling content in a state where the above-described ticket inspection process has been performed. That is, the keyboard 102 issues an output instruction on the number of cases for each entry station or the number of ticket types for each participating station on a predetermined date or a predetermined date and time. Then, the control unit 101 reads the corresponding number from the getting on / off recording unit 104 and displays it on the display unit 103. The display contents of the display unit 103 may be printed by the printer 105. When performing this printing, the display may be omitted.

This makes it possible to check the entry / exit status of the customer for each station and each ticket gate, based on the display content or the print content, for each use date and time. For example,
By examining the entrance / exit status of each of a plurality of ticket gates at one station, it is possible to appropriately arrange ticket gates and personnel.

As described above, the usage status of the customer from the ticket gate provided at the entrance, that is, the number of cases by entrance station for each participating station on a predetermined date or at a predetermined date and time, or the number of tickets by type, is recorded and required. The entrance and exit status of passengers at each station or at each ticket gate at a given date, at a given time, or at each ticket gate is displayed or printed. You can check the entry and exit status of customers.

The automatic ticket gate of the present invention can be applied not only to transportation such as railways, but also to entrance / exit systems at amusement parks, museums, and the like.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a ticket gate system capable of easily and accurately knowing the usage status without any trouble.
