The null printer 34, the magnetic disk device 35, and the key mat section 37 are connected via a bus 54.

Each time the CPU 51 issues a commuter pass, it counts up the frequency of use of the transit / fare data table 36a in the magnetic disk 36 corresponding to the passage of the used segment. .

Next, the operation of issuing a commuter pass in such a configuration will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. First, a case will be described in which the selection switch 41 is set on the side where the priority order is determined by the frequency of use.

That is, by applying to purchase a commuter pass using the application form, the clerk inputs the departure station (A station) and the arrival station (B station) (use section) using the transit departure / arrival station setting unit 21 (ST).
1, 2). At this time, the station name buttons corresponding to the input departure station and arrival station are lit. Then, the CPU 51 determines, from the transit / fare data table 36a in the magnetic disk 36, the transit candidates (C, D, E) corresponding to the utilization section and the usage frequency of each transit candidate (C, D, E). (N1, n2, n3:
(n1>n2> n3) (issue count) and read (ST
3), the priority of transit candidates (C> D) depending on the frequency of use
> E) is determined (ST4). At this time, the CPU 51
The most frequently used transit via the departure / arrival station setting unit 21 (C)
The via button corresponding to is lit up and the other via (D,
The via button corresponding to E) is displayed in blinking (ST5). This informs the staff which route is the priority candidate.

According to this display, when using the route (C) that is used most frequently, the clerk must have predetermined data based on the purchase application content other than the departure / arrival station and the route (for example, pass month, gender). , Purchase information such as age and date of issue) are input (ST6). Then, the CPU 51 determines that the commuter pass is issued through the route (C) that is most frequently used (ST
7) The use frequency (n1) of the route / fare data table 36a in the magnetic disk 36 corresponding to the route (C) of the issued use section is counted up (ST8).

In the display state of step 5, when a transit button corresponding to a transit route (D or E) other than the most frequently used transit route (C) is input (ST
9), via routes other than the most frequently used route (C) (D,
Alternatively, it is determined that the commuter pass is issued in E) (ST1
0), via the issued usage section (D or E)
The usage frequency (n2, n3) of the transit / freight data table 36a in the magnetic disk 36 corresponding to is counted up (ST11).

Then, the clerk is in charge of a predetermined data (for example, a passing month,
Enter purchase information such as gender, age, date of issue, etc. (S
T12).

In addition, the staff member enters the application form into the application form insertion slot 2
5, and the name reading unit 26 reads the name described in the application form.

Then, the CPU 51 causes the display unit 22 to display the issuance content and the charge according to the input data.

The CPU 51 also reads a character pattern from the memory 52 based on the input data, and pixel data corresponding to the character pattern and the name of the purchaser read by the name transfer unit 27. The print data on the surface of the corresponding commuter pass is edited and created by the above, and displayed on the display unit 22.

Then, when the issued contents displayed on the display unit 22 are satisfied, the clerk inputs a start key (not shown) (ST13). Then CP
The U51 controls the commuter pass issuing unit 33 to magnetically record the above-mentioned issuance contents, transfer the name based on the image pattern data of the purchaser's name, print the purchase contents, and issue the commuter pass issuing port 32 ( ST14). Also, CPU
51 displays the commuter pass fee on the customer display 24.

Further, the CPU 51 stores the transaction result on the magnetic disk by the magnetic disk device 35 and prints it on the journal.

As a result, the clerk from the purchaser to the customer display 2
Receive the commuter pass fee displayed in 4 and give the issued commuter pass to the purchaser.

The payment of the purchase fee is not limited to cash,
Alternatively, a credit card or a bank card inserted through the card insertion slot 30 may be used. In this case, the CPU
51 controls the commuter pass issuing unit 33 to issue a receipt on which the transaction result is printed from the commuter pass issuing port 32.

In the above example, the departure station and the arrival station (use section) are input by the transit departure and arrival station setting section 21, but the keypad section 3
The departure station and the arrival station may be input by 7. In this case, the display unit 22 displays the departure station and the arrival station,
Route candidates are also displayed. As a method of displaying the route candidates, the route candidate with the highest frequency of use is highlighted (black and white), the other route candidates are displayed with blinking, or the route with the highest frequency of use is 1, 2, ... Numbers may be given or displayed in order from the top.

A case will be described in which the selection switch 41 is set on the side where the priority order is determined by the distance of the utilization section (shortness of about kilometer).

That is, by applying for the purchase of the commuter pass using the application form, the clerk inputs the departure station (A station) and the arrival station (B station) (use section) using the via departure / arrival station setting unit 21 (ST).
1, 2). At this time, the station name buttons corresponding to the input departure station and arrival station are lit. Then, the CPU 51 determines, from the transit / fare data table 36a in the magnetic disk 36, the transit candidates (C, D, E) corresponding to the transit segment and the transit segment for each transit candidate (C, D, E). Distance (m1, m2,
(m3: m1>m2> m3) is read (ST3), and the priority of the route candidates (C> D) is determined from the short distance of this utilization section.
> E) is determined (ST4). At this time, the CPU 51
The transit button corresponding to the transit (C) with the shortest kilometer of the section of the transit departure / arrival station setting section 21 is lit, and the transit buttons corresponding to the other transits (D, E) are displayed in blinking (ST
5).

In accordance with this display, when using the route (C), which has the shortest kilometer of the used section, the clerk must have predetermined data based on the contents of the purchase application other than the departure / arrival station and the route (for example, a common month). , Sex, age, date of issue, etc.)
Is input (ST6). Then, the CPU 51 determines that the commuter pass is issued through the shortest route (C) in the use section (C) (ST7), and passes the issued use section (C).
The usage frequency (n1) of the transit / freight data table 36a in the magnetic disk 36 corresponding to is counted up (ST8).

Further, in the display state of the above step 5, when a transit button corresponding to a transit route (D or E) other than the transit route (C) with the shortest distance in the utilization segment is input (ST9), the utilization segment It is judged that the commuter pass is issued through a route (D or E) other than the shortest route (C) (ST10), and the route used (D, E)
Alternatively, the use frequency (n2, n3) of the transit / fare data table 36a in the magnetic disk 36 corresponding to E) is counted up (ST11).

After that, the same processing as the issuance of the commuter pass according to the above-mentioned usage frequency is performed.

However, in this case, the usage frequency for each issue is not necessarily counted up.

As described above, when issuing the commuter pass via the route with the highest frequency of use or the route with the shortest distance in the used section, that is, the route candidate, the route instruction is omitted (no route specified). The operability is improved.

This makes it possible to eliminate the need to operate the button for the route instruction when the route with the highest frequency of use among the route candidates or the route with the shortest distance from the departure station to the arrival station is used. Can be improved. In addition, you can specify a route with a learning function. Also, while using the commuter ticket issuing device, the commuter ticket issuing device will automatically determine priority candidates, so consider which candidate will be released the most when creating software. There is no need.

Further, for the clerk, the button operation for specifying the route becomes unnecessary when issuing the most via the route to be released.

In the above embodiment, the case of using a train as an example of transportation has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be used in a bus or the like.
