In another embodiment of the present application, the check-in device and the boarding device connected to the server may include a serial device and a parallel device.

The serial port equipment comprises equipment such as a boarding check printer, a luggage card printer, a boarding gate scanner, a passport reader and the like, the equipment is connected through a serial port, the bottom layer of a program is realized the same, and the specific steps are as follows:

1. and opening the serial port device. According to a CommPort identifier, getPortidentifier (portName) method, a portName (serial port number, such as COM1) is transmitted, an open method is called to acquire a serial device object (SerialPort), and then a setSerialPortparams method is called to set a baud rate, a data bit, a stop bit and the like. After the device is turned on, the program can obtain the input and output streams of the device: OutputStream and InputStream, which are used to interact with devices.

2. Status snoops and reads data. The method for realizing the serialEvent in the interface of SerialPortEventLister can realize the monitoring of the equipment state and the data. After the device is opened, an addEventListener method is called to register a device monitoring object, then a monitoring event needing to be opened can be set, the monitoring attribute is set, and when the monitored device information is changed, a serial port event (SerialPortEvent) can be acquired in real time in a serialEvent method. By determining the SerialPortEvent, the specific contents of the change can be known. If the device has readable information after setting "notifyondataavailable" (true) ", the program will be notified automatically, and the notification information of the device can be obtained in conjunction with the input stream (serialport. getinputstream ()) of the device. Other snoop events are snoops of the device state and can be viewed through the API of the JAVA COMM.

3. And writing the data. The output stream obtained according to the serviceport. All data to be transmitted needs to be added with a text start character (STX) and a text end character (ETX), and then converted into a Byte array, so that the data can be transmitted to the device by using an "outputstream. The exchange of the departure equipment is through an AEA instruction, the construction method of the AEA instruction is to multiplex the prior method, only a sending bottom layer is changed, the configuration of the front end and the original equipment is not influenced, and the use and learning cost is reduced.

1. the parallel port device is opened. According to a CommPortName method, a portName (parallel port number, such as LPT1) is transmitted, a parallel port device object (parallelPort) is opened and acquired, the parallel port device does not need to set transmission parameters, and parallel port connection can be directly acquired. The parallel port also needs to fetch the output stream but does not need to fetch the input stream because the parallel port device has no return data and can only send the data stream to the parallel port.

2. And monitoring the state of the equipment. The parallelEvent method in the parallelPort EventListener interface is realized, and the device monitoring can be realized. After the equipment is opened, the equipment monitoring attribute is set, the monitoring events of the parallel port are fewer, the equipment state cannot be accurately judged, and the like, and only the monitored state is subjected to log recording in a program.

3. And writing data. Get output stream () get, can send data to device, note that the data content sent must be the format supported by the device. The transmitted data needs to be added with a text start character and a text end character. The implementation of this step is the same as the serial port, but the obtained output stream is parallel, specifically implementing the reference serial port.
