Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Summary] The type of desired guide information selected by the selection operation, the magnetic stripe data recorded on the ticket, etc., and the OCR (OCR)
By searching for guidance information based on data read from characters, characters printed with magnetic ink, barcodes, etc.
For example, it is possible to provide guidance information based on information specific to tickets, etc., such as providing directions to the seats based on theater seat number data and current location information read from the ticket by the guidance device. Therefore, detailed guidance can be provided quickly.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a guide device that provides various types of guide information, and particularly to a guide device that can provide guide information based on the type of guide information selected by a selection operation and data read from a ticket or the like.

In recent years, various guidance devices have been installed for the convenience of users, such as guidance inside stations and airports, sales floors in department stores, shopping districts, and specialty stores.

On the other hand, tickets with unique data recorded using machine-readable magnetic ink characters, magnetic stripes, barcodes, etc. are being used in various fields for purposes such as streamlining counting, counter operations, and automating ticket gates. . For example, passenger data such as boarding point, destination, airline, flight number, seat, etc. is recorded on the boarding pass of a passenger aircraft, and based on this data, practical guidance is provided based on the actual situation of the user. A guide device that can do this is desired.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating a guide device, and FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a conventional example. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

As shown in FIG. 4, the guide device includes a display section 6, an operation section 5
A, a guide map discharge lower a, etc. are arranged, and a printing section, a speaker for providing audio guidance, a control circuit section for controlling each section, etc. are built inside.

In FIG. 5, a main control section 4a controls each section to perform the functions of the guide device.

The display unit 6 displays a guide menu, guide information, and the like.

The operation unit 5a is used to select and instruct desired guidance information, etc. according to the displayed guidance menu.

The printing unit 7 prints and outputs guidance information by operating the operating unit 5a.

The guide information file 9a stores data prepared in advance for outputting guide information as characters, images, and sounds.

The speech synthesis section 8 synthesizes speech based on the speech guidance data stored in the guidance information file 9a and outputs the synthesized speech to the speaker 8a.

Therefore, the guidance information selected by operating the operation unit 5a according to the menu displayed on the display unit 6 is read from the guidance information file 9a and output to the display unit 6, the printing unit 7, or the speaker 8a to provide guidance. It is configured as follows.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As mentioned above, according to the conventional method, guidance information is selected and output by a selection operation, so only general information can be obtained for an unspecified number of users, regardless of the presence or absence of tickets such as boarding passes. There is a problem in that it is not possible to provide detailed guidance tailored to the actual situation of users who own a .

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the principle of the present invention.

In the figure, 10 is a recording medium, 1 is a reading means for reading recorded data including a code unique to the recording medium 10 from the recording medium 10, 5 is an instruction means 4 for selecting and instructing the type of desired guide information, and 9 is the reading means 1 It is a storage means in which a plurality of types of guide information corresponding to the read record data are stored.

Therefore, the guide information is configured to be read and output based on the selected type of guide information and the recorded data on the recording medium 10.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, based on the type of guidance information selected by the instruction means 5 and the recorded data read from the recording medium 10 by the reading means 1, the corresponding guidance information is read out from the storage means 9 and output. , guidance information specific to the data recorded on the recording medium can be output.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures. Components in FIG. 2 that correspond to those in FIG. 1 are surrounded by dashed lines.

In FIG. 2, a main control section 4b controls each section to perform the functions of the guide device according to the present invention.

The ticket lOb is a ticket, admission ticket, etc., which has a magnetic stripe on the back surface of which personal data is recorded.

The ticket reading section 1b reads data recorded on the magnetic stripe attached to the ticket.

The memory 11 is a memory that stores data read from the ticket reading section 1b.

The timer 12 stores and updates current date and time data.

The guide information file 9b stores data prepared in advance for outputting guide information as characters, images, and sounds.

The search unit 2b searches for the selected guide information type, memo January 1
The desired guidance information is retrieved and output from the guidance information file 9b based on the contents of , the time data of the timer 12, etc.

The operation of guidance using an airline ticket will be explained below with reference to the flowchart in FIG. i
Passenger data such as boarding place, destination, airline, flight number, class, boarding date, reservation status, passenger name, seat, etc. recorded on the magnetic stripe is read by b and stored in the memory 11.

(2) The search unit 2b compares the boarding time of the passenger data stored in the memory 11 with the time of the timer 12, and if the boarding time is imminent, the process proceeds to (2).

■When there is time to spare before boarding time, the menu illustrated in Figure (a) is displayed.

(2) The search unit 2b searches for guidance information based on the type of guidance information selected by the user and the passenger data in the memory 11. For example, when destination guidance is selected and a lower classification is selected, a map of the airport premises of the destination, a transfer map, etc. Search for information on airport premises, transfer methods, etc., output it, and display the information.

- A message is displayed in the margin of the display screen instructing whether printing is necessary or not, and by specifying ``printing required'', the guide map is printed out from the guide map ejection lower a.

■When "output not required" is specified, or following printout, the ticket 10b is ejected.

■Display the warning message "There is no boarding time. Please hurry to the XXX Airlines counter."

■Displays a map with the guidance and directions "XX Airlines x X Counter is on the 0th floor of the Oo Building" and prints out the map.

Therefore, when the type of guidance information is selected through menu selection, the system is configured to search and output guidance information from the guidance information file 9b based on the passenger data recorded on the magnetic stripe of the ticket.

In this embodiment, a guide device using an airplane boarding pass has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to various other tickets such as train tickets.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, guidance information is searched based on the type of desired guidance information selected by a selection operation and data read from a recording medium recorded on or affixed to a ticket or the like. Therefore, it is possible to provide detailed guidance tailored to the user's actual situation.
