But, in the automatic ticket checker of in above-mentioned patent documentation 1, putting down in writing, if put in the input port owing to go out noncontact recording medium by sensor, it is current then to open a permission, therefore in calculation process, be judged as and reclaim, and be judged as beyond the noncontact recording medium that can set off other the noncontact medium or the such invalid noncontact recording medium of noncontact recording medium of forgery put in the input port, also go out this noncontact recording medium, open a permission and pass through by sensor.Therefore, might carry out noncontact recording medium is inserted into the information that makes its reading and recording in the communication unit, after having opened the input port, invalid noncontact recording medium is put in the input port devious conduct by ticket checking machine.

The present invention solves above such problem, as its problem, provides to prevent to drop into the automatic ticket checker of invalid non-recording medium by the devious conduct of ticket checking machine.

The present invention is in the information of reading and recording in noncontact recording medium non-contactly, in the time of permission of passing through or the processing of forbidding, reclaims in the non-contact automatic ticket checking machine of this noncontact recording medium the input port of dropping into noncontact recording medium is set; The collection box of the noncontact recording medium that recovery drops into from the input port; The recovery approach that leads to collection box from the input port.Also be provided with and limit noncontact recording medium and put into the 1st gate the recovery approach from the input port; Qualification is put into noncontact recording medium in the recovery approach and is recovered to the 2nd gate in the collection box; Read the 1st reading unit of the information of putting into recovery approach noncontact recording medium before non-contactly; Read the 2nd reading unit of the information of the noncontact recording medium of putting in the recovery approach non-contactly.And if then setting is according to the result that reads of the 1st reading unit, be judged as reclaim noncontact recording medium and also be judged as can go out inbound, then open the 1st gate, whether judgement is consistent with the information that is read by the 1st reading unit by the information that the 2nd reading unit reads, if the unanimity of being judged as allows current control module when then opening the 2nd gate.In addition, so-called " be judged as can go out inbound " reclaims when departures under the situation of utilization of noncontact recording medium, is to be judged as to set off, when entering the station, reclaim under the situation of utilization of noncontact recording medium, and be to be judged as to enter the station.

If do like this, then only before putting into recovery approach, be judged as and reclaim and write down and be judged as the noncontact recording medium that can go out inbound noncontact recording medium identical information and put under the situation of recovery approach from the input port, open the 2nd gate, when can be recovered to noncontact recording medium in the collection box, allow to pass through, make the user to pass through.Therefore, even be judged as reclaim and be judged as can go out beyond the inbound noncontact recording medium other noncontact recording medium or the noncontact recording medium of forgery like that invalid noncontact recording medium put in the recovery approach, because also not with its recovery, make the user to pass through simultaneously, therefore can prevent to drop into of the devious conduct of invalid noncontact recording medium by ticket checking machine.

In addition, in the present invention, can the information that write down in the noncontact recording medium comprise and be used to judge the identifying information that inbound ticket checking information and be used for discerning individually noncontact recording medium, the 1st reading unit can read the ticket checking information and the identifying information of noncontact recording medium, and the 2nd reading unit can read the identifying information of noncontact recording medium.In this case, the judgement whether control module reclaims noncontact recording medium according to the above-mentioned identifying information that is read by above-mentioned the 1st reading unit, carry out to go out inbound judgement according to the above-mentioned ticket checking information that reads by above-mentioned the 1st reading unit, carry out the whether consistent judgement of information that reads by the 2nd reading unit and the information that reads by the 1st reading unit according to the identifying information that reads by the 2nd reading unit and by the identifying information that the 1st reading unit reads.Can in addition, can so-called " go out inbound judgement " reclaim under the situation of noncontact recording medium utilization when departures, be to judge set off, when entering the station, reclaim under the situation of noncontact recording medium utilization, and be to judge to enter the station.

Like this, because it is whether consistent with the identifying information that reads by the 1st reading unit by judging the identifying information that reads by the 2nd reading unit, can discern noncontact recording medium individually according to identifying information, therefore only be judged as reclaim and also be judged as can go out the identical noncontact recording medium of inbound noncontact recording medium and put into from the input port under the situation the recovery approach, when can be recovered to noncontact recording medium in the collection box, allow to pass through, make the user to pass through.Therefore, can prevent from reliably to drop into invalid noncontact recording medium, by the devious conduct of ticket checking machine.In addition, the 2nd reading unit only reads identifying information, and only carry out whether consistent judgement according to identifying information, with the full detail that reads noncontact recording medium, whether consistent carry out the situation of judgement compares for full detail,, after the input of recovery approach, can shorten time of reading cost and judge time of cost in noncontact recording medium, can foreshorten to and allow or the overall processing time that no through traffic.

In addition, in the present invention, as other example, if being judged as, the result that control module reads according to the 1st reading unit reclaims noncontact recording medium, then open the 1st gate, if the result that reads according to the 2nd reading unit is judged as and can goes out inboundly, and it is consistent with the information that is read by the 1st reading unit to be judged as the information that is read by the 2nd reading unit, allows current when then opening the 2nd gate.

If do like this, then only put into recovery approach from the input port in the noncontact recording medium that has write down with the information identical information of the noncontact recording medium that is judged as recovery, and be judged as to go out under the inbound situation, just open the 2nd gate, noncontact recording medium is recovered in the collection box, allow simultaneously to pass through, make the user to pass through.Therefore,, because not with its recovery, do not allow the user current simultaneously yet, therefore can prevent to drop into invalid noncontact recording medium and devious conduct by ticket checking machine even invalid noncontact recording medium is put in the recovery approach.

In addition, in the present invention, in above-mentioned other example, the 1st reading unit also can read the identifying information of noncontact recording medium, and the 2nd reading unit reads the ticket checking information and the identifying information of noncontact recording medium.In this case, the judgement whether control module reclaims noncontact recording medium according to the identifying information that is read by the 1st reading unit, carry out to go out inbound judgement according to the information that reads by the 2nd reading unit, carry out the whether consistent judgement of information that reads by the 2nd reading unit and the information that reads by the 1st reading unit according to the identifying information that reads by the 2nd reading unit and by the identifying information that the 1st reading unit reads.

Like this, only read identifying information, can shorten noncontact recording medium and put into and read the time that is spent before the recovery approach by the 1st reading unit.And then, by only carrying out the whether consistent judgement of information, carry out the situation of whether consistent judgement with full detail and compare for noncontact recording medium according to identifying information, can foreshorten to permission or the overall processing time that no through traffic.In addition, after noncontact recording medium has been put into recovery approach, read ticket checking information, can in recovery approach, stably carry out reading of ticket checking information by the 2nd reading unit.

In addition, in the present invention, remove beyond the above-mentioned structure, the mouth of returning of returning noncontact recording medium can also be set; The passage of returning from returning leading to of diverging to of recovery approach mouthful between the 1st gate and the 2nd gate; Enter into and return the 3rd gate that passage limits be recovered to back noncontact recording medium in the cartonning by the 2nd gate restriction.In such structure, if control module is judged as the information that read by the 2nd reading unit and the information inconsistency that is read by the 1st reading unit, does not then open the 2nd gate and open the 3rd gate, no through traffic simultaneously.

If do like this, then invalid noncontact recording medium is put into situation the recovery approach from the input port under, return invalid noncontact recording medium after, can receive next noncontact recording medium immediately.

Fig. 5～Fig. 7 illustrates the action of the automatic ticket checker 100 when having dropped into noncontact certificate 30 in automatic ticket checker 100.Below, according to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 the operating state of automatic ticket checker 100 is described, the action sequence of automatic ticket checker 100 is described according to Fig. 7.At first, pass through path R (Fig. 1) when directions X sets off the user, if the noncontact recording medium of being held is noncontact certificate 30, then the user is in order to put into this noncontact certificate 30 in the input port 3 of automatic ticket checker 100, near automatic ticket checker 100.At this moment, the door 4a～4d of automatic ticket checker 100,101 shown in Figure 1 all opens.And, if the user noncontact certificate 30 near input port 3, noncontact certificate 30 enters into the sensing range 11a of the 1st antenna 11 like that shown in Fig. 5 (a), then the 1st antenna 11 begins to communicate by letter with the antenna 30d of noncontact certificate 30, according to this communication, the 1st antenna control unit 21 reads ticket checking information and the identifying information of storing among the storer 30c of noncontact certificate 30 (T1 of Fig. 7).In addition, the information that is read temporarily is kept in the storer 14.

If the 1st antenna control unit 21 reads the ticket checking information and the identifying information of noncontact certificate 30, then CPU10 judges whether to reclaim noncontact recording medium by judging unit 10a according to the identifying information that is read by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Here, be the noncontact certificate if be identified as noncontact recording medium from identifying information, then be judged as and reclaim this certificate.Then, judge that according to the ticket checking information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21 can the user set off.And, if it is normal to be judged as the amount of money etc., can set off, then open the 1st gate 31 (T2 of Fig. 7).Thus, the 1st gate detecting sensor 41 becomes out state from off status, and noncontact certificate 30 is put into the recovery approach 7 from input port 3 shown in Fig. 5 (b).In addition, can set off if CPU10 is judged as, then the 1st antenna control unit 21 writes in the storer 30c of noncontact certificate 30 and the relevant information that sets off (for example noncontact certificate 30 finish using etc. as regular train ticket).

On the other hand, can in the judgement that set off, if because reasons such as insufficient in amount are judged as and can not set off, then CPU10 keeps closing the state of the 1st gate 31 shown in Fig. 5 (c).Thus,, also become noncontact certificate 30 and 3 expose only about half of state, stop and put in the recovery approach 7 from the input port even noncontact certificate 30 is put in the input port 3.In addition, CPU10 closes the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (T21 of Fig. 7) of automatic ticket checker 101.Thus, the person of banning use of is current, can not set off to directions X by path R.Prepare if the door 4a, the 4c that in the near future close are next user's use, then open (T22 of Fig. 7) once more by CPU10.

Shown in Fig. 5 (b), if noncontact certificate 30 is put in the recovery approach 7, then these noncontact certificate 30 dependence deadweights are by the 1st gate 31, and therefore the 1st by detecting sensor 51 detection noncontact certificates 30, become out state (T3 of Fig. 7) from off status.In addition, because noncontact certificate 30 enters into the sensing range 12a of the 2nd antenna 12, therefore the 2nd antenna 12 begins to communicate by letter with the antenna 30d of noncontact certificate 30, by this communication, the identifying information (T4 of Fig. 7) of the 2nd antenna control unit 22 reading and recording in the storer 30c of noncontact certificate 30.In addition, the information that reads is kept at any time in the storer 14.And, shown in Fig. 6 (d), if noncontact certificate 30 is fully by the 1st gate 31, then the 1st no longer detect noncontact certificate 30 by detecting sensor 51, turn back to off status (T5 of Fig. 7), receive the 1st signal by detecting sensor 51 and switch, CPU10 closes the 1st gate 31 (T6 of Fig. 7).Thus, the 1st gate detecting sensor 41 turns back to off status from opening state.In addition, the noncontact certificate 30 that has passed through the 1st gate 31 is stopped by the 2nd gate 32 and stops, and stops to enter into collection box 6.

If the 2nd antenna control unit 22 reads the identifying information of noncontact certificate 30, then CPU10 judges by judging unit 10a whether the identifying information that is read by the 2nd antenna control unit 22 is consistent with the identifying information that is read by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Here,, then be judged as the identifying information unanimity, open the 2nd gate 32 (T7 of Fig. 7) if the noncontact certificate 30 identical with the noncontact certificate 30 that has been read identifying information by the 1st antenna control unit 21 put in the recovery approach 7.Thus, the 2nd gate detecting sensor 42 becomes out state from off status.In addition, noncontact certificate 30 is shown in Fig. 6 (e), because the 2nd gate 32 is passed through in the dependence deadweight, therefore the 2nd by detecting sensor 52 detection noncontact certificates 30, become out state (T8 of Fig. 7) from off status.And, if noncontact certificate 30 is fully by the 2nd gate 32, then the 2nd no longer detect noncontact certificate 30 by detecting sensor 52, turn back to off status (T9 of Fig. 7), receive the 2nd signal by detecting sensor 52 and switch, CPU10 closes the 2nd gate 32 (T10 of Fig. 7).Thus, the 2nd gate detecting sensor 42 turns back to off status from opening state.After having closed the 2nd gate 32, CPU10 keeps the state (T101 of Fig. 7) all opened of door 4a～4d automatic ticket checker 100,101 in advance.Thus, allow the user current, can set off to directions X by path R.Then, noncontact certificate 30 is as being recovered to like that in the collection box 6 at the 30z shown in the with dashed lines among Fig. 6 (e).And the noncontact certificate 30 that is reclaimed is taken out by the staff, rewrite the information that is recorded among the storer 30c after, be encased in the automatic machine, reuse.

On the other hand, if read other noncontact certificate beyond the noncontact certificate 30 of identifying information or the noncontact certificate of forgery etc. puts in the recovery approach 7 by the 1st antenna control unit 21, it is inconsistent with the identifying information that is read by the 1st antenna control unit 21 to be judged as the identifying information that is read by the 2nd antenna control unit 22, and then CPU10 does not open the 2nd gate 32 and opens the 3rd gate 33 (T71 of Fig. 7).Thus, other noncontact certificate relies on deadweight to enter into by the 3rd gate 33 and returns passage 9 like shown in Fig. 6 (f), and the 30y shown in dashed lines returns mouth 8 like that.In addition, passed through the 3rd gate 33 by other noncontact certificate etc. of not shown sensor, if receive detection signal from this sensor, then CPU10 closes the 3rd gate 33 (T72 of Fig. 7).If open the 3rd gate 33, then CPU10 closes the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (T711 of Fig. 7) of automatic ticket checker 101.Thus, the person of banning use of is current, can not set off from direction to X by path R.Prepare if the door 4a, the 4c that close in the near future are next user's use, then open (T712 of Fig. 7) once more by CPU10.

The action of above automatic ticket checker 100 is by the action of path R when the user of directions X departures holds noncontact certificate 30.Different therewith, the below action of explanation when the user of directions X departures holds non-contact card 20.At first, the user is for non-contact card 20 being covered the 1st antenna 11 of automatic ticket checker 100, near automatic ticket checker 100.At this moment, the door 4a～4d of automatic ticket checker 100,101 all opens.And, if the user inserts non-contact card 20, non-contact card 20 enters in the sensing range 11a of the 1st antenna 11, then the antenna 20d's of the beginning of the 1st antenna 11 and non-contact card 20 communicates by letter, by this communication, ticket checking information and the identifying information of the 1st antenna control unit 21 reading and recording in the storer 20c of non-contact card 20.

If the 1st antenna control unit 21 reads the ticket checking information and the identifying information of non-contact card 20, then CPU10 judges whether to reclaim noncontact recording medium by judging unit 10a according to the identifying information that is read by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Here, be the noncontact card if be identified as noncontact recording medium according to identifying information, then be judged as and do not reclaim.Then, judge that according to the ticket checking information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21 can the user set off.And, normally can set off if be judged as between load zones to wait, then keep closing the state of the 1st gate 31 constant the time, all open the door 4a～4d of automatic ticket checker 100,101.Thus, allow the user current, can set off to directions X by path R.In addition, can set off if CPU is judged as, then the 1st antenna control unit 21 information (for example if non-contact card 20 as commutation ticket use, then be departures date time etc.) relevant with departures is written among the storer 20c of non-contact card 20.On the other hand, can not set off if be judged as between load zones etc. undesired, the state that then keeps closing the 1st gate 31 is constant, and closes the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c of automatic ticket checker 101.Thus, the person of banning use of is current, can not set off to directions X by path R.

The user is by the action of path R when the Y direction enters the station in the following key diagram 1.At first, the user is in order to cover entering the station with antenna 104, near automatic ticket checker 101 of automatic ticket checker 101 to non-contact card of being held 20 or noncontact certificate 30.At this moment, the door 4a～4d of automatic ticket checker 100,101 all opens.And, if the user inserts non-contact card 20 or noncontact certificate 30, then they enter in the sensing range of antenna 104, antenna 104 beginnings communicate with the antenna 20d of non-contact card 20 or the antenna 30d of noncontact certificate 30, by this communication, be arranged on the ticket checking information that internal circuit in the automatic ticket checker 101 (omitting diagram) reads non-contact card 20 or noncontact certificate 30.And, judging that according to the ticket checking information that reads can the user enter the station, can enter the station if be judged as, the state of door 4a～4d that then keeps all opening automatic ticket checker 100,101 is constant.Thus, allow the user current, can enter the station to the Y direction by path R.In addition, can enter the station, then in the storer 30c of the storer 20c of non-contact card 20 or noncontact certificate 30, write and the relevant information that enters the station (time on date of for example entering the station etc.) if be judged as.On the other hand, can not enter the station, then close the door 4b of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4d of automatic ticket checker 100 if be judged as.Thus, the person of banning use of is current, can not enter the station to the Y direction by path R.

Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are the process flow diagrams that automatic ticket checker 100 actions are shown, and the order of being carried out by CPU is shown.Among Fig. 8, at first, CPU opens door 4a～4d (Fig. 1) and the standby of automatic ticket checker 100,101 fully.From this state, if by the user non-contact card 20 is covered the 1st antenna 11 or noncontact certificate 30 near input port 3, then the 1st antenna 11 communicates with the antenna of this noncontact recording medium.Thus, CPU10 judges the communication (step S1: be) that the 1st antenna is arranged, and is read the ticket checking information and the identifying information (step S2) of this noncontact recording medium by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Then, judge whether to reclaim noncontact recording medium (step S3) by judging unit 10a according to the identifying information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Here, if the noncontact recording medium of communicating by letter with the 1st antenna 11 is noncontact card 20, be the noncontact card then from this identifying information identification noncontact recording medium, be judged as and do not reclaim (step S3: not).Then, judge to set off (step S4a) according to the ticket checking information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Here, if it is normal and can set off (step S4a: be) to be judged as the ticket checking information of non-contact card 20, the state of door 4a～4d that then keeps all opening automatic ticket checker 100,101 is constant, allows the user current.Then, turn back to step S1 in order to accept next noncontact recording medium, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.

On the other hand, if it is undesired and can not set off (step S4a: not) then closes the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (step S5) of automatic ticket checker 101 to be judged as the ticket checking information of non-contact card 20, the person of banning use of is current.Then, turn back to step S1 in order to accept next noncontact recording medium, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.In addition, when turning back to step S1, open door 4a, the 4c (when in following processing, turning back to step S1, similarly also opening the door 4a, the 4c that close) that close.

In step S3, if the noncontact recording medium of communicating by letter with the 1st antenna 11 is noncontact certificate 30, be the noncontact certificate then from identifying information identification noncontact recording medium, be judged as recovery (step S3: be).Then, judge to set off (step S4b) according to the ticket checking information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Here, if it is undesired and can not set off (step S4b: not) then closes the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (step S5) of automatic ticket checker 101 to be judged as the ticket checking information of noncontact certificate 30, the person of banning use of is current.Then, turn back to step S1 in order to accept next noncontact recording medium, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.

On the other hand, normal and can set off (step S4b: be) confirms then whether the 2nd gate detecting sensor 42 is off status (step S6) if be judged as the ticket checking information of noncontact certificate 30.And, are off status (step S6: be) if confirm as the 2nd gate detecting sensor 42, then be judged as the 2nd gate 32 and close, open the 1st gate 31 (step S7).Thus, make noncontact certificate 30 put into the recovery approach 7 from input port 3.If open the 1st gate 31, judge then whether the 1st become off status (Fig. 8) from opening state by detecting sensor 51.At this moment, if noncontact certificate 30 is put into the recovery approach 7 from input port 3, then noncontact certificate 30 relies on deadweight by the 1st gate 31, turn back to off status later on immediately again because the 1st becomes out state by detecting sensor 51 from off status, therefore in this case, being judged as from opening state becomes off status (step S8: be), closes the 1st gate 31 (step S9).

On the other hand, in step S8, if noncontact certificate 30 is not put into the recovery approach 7 from input port 3, then keep off status by detecting sensor 51 owing to the 1st, therefore in this case, not being judged as becomes off status (step S8: deny) from opening state, and the timer 10b of the time after opening with reference to instrumentation the 1st gate 31 judges after opening the 1st gate 31 whether passed through the schedule time (step S10).Here, if do not pass through the schedule time (step S10: not), judge once more then whether the 1st become off status (step S8) from opening state by detecting sensor 51.And, keep not becoming under the off status (step S8: open) by detecting sensor 51 the 1st from opening state, if, then be judged as and dropped into noncontact certificate 30, close the 1st gate 31 (step S11) through the schedule time (step S10: be).In addition, close the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (step S12) of automatic ticket checker 101, the person of banning use of is current.Then, turn back to step S1 in order to accept next noncontact recording medium, 11 waits of the 1st antenna communicate with next noncontact recording medium.

If noncontact certificate 30 is closed the 1st gate 31 (step S9) by the 1st gate 31, then judge between the 2nd antenna 12 and noncontact certificate 30 whether carried out communicate by letter (the step S13 of Fig. 9).Here, if the foreign matter beyond the noncontact certificate is put in the recovery approach 7, then can not communicate with this foreign matter owing to the 2nd antenna 12, therefore being judged as does not in this case have the 2nd antenna communication (step S13: deny), open the 3rd gate 33 (step S16), this foreign matter is returned mouth 8 by returning passage 9.And, closing the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (step S17) of automatic ticket checker 101, the person of banning use of is current.Then, in order to accept the step S1 that next noncontact recording medium turns back to Fig. 8, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.

In step S13, if noncontact certificate 30 is put in the recovery approach 7, the 2nd antenna 12 communicates with the antenna 30d of noncontact certificate 30, then has been judged as the 2nd antenna communication (step S13: be), is read the identifying information (step S14) of noncontact certificate 30 by the 2nd antenna control unit 22.Then, judge by the 2nd antenna control unit 22 identifying information that reads and the identifying information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21 whether consistent (step S15) by judging unit 10a.Here, if having read other noncontact certificate beyond the noncontact certificate 30 of identifying information or the noncontact certificate of forgery etc. by the 1st antenna control unit 21 in step S2 puts in the recovery approach 7, then, therefore be judged as inconsistent (step S15: not) in this case owing to the identifying information that is read by the 2nd antenna control unit 22 is inconsistent with the identifying information that is read by the 1st antenna control unit 21.And open the 3rd gate 33 (step S16), and by returning passage 9 other noncontact certificate is returned mouth 8, close the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (step S17) of automatic ticket checker 101, the person of banning use of is current.Then, in order to accept the step S1 that next noncontact recording medium turns back to Fig. 8, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.

On the other hand, in step S15, if with in step S2, read the identical noncontact certificate 30 of the noncontact certificate 30 of identifying information and put in the recovery approach 7 by the 1st antenna control unit 21, then, therefore be judged as identifying information unanimity (step S15: be) in this case owing to the identifying information that is read by the 2nd antenna control unit 22 is consistent with the identifying information that is read by the 1st antenna 21.Then, confirm whether the 1st gate detecting sensor 41 is off status (step S18), is off status (step S18: be) if confirm the 1st gate detecting sensor 41, judge that then the 1st gate 31 closes, open the 2nd gate 32 (step S19).Thus, make noncontact certificate 30 by the 2nd gate 32.

If open the 2nd gate 32, judge then whether the 2nd become off status (step S20) from opening state by detecting sensor 52.At this moment, if noncontact certificate 30 relies on deadweight by the 2nd gate 32, then owing to the 2nd become out state by detecting sensor 52 from off status and turn back to off status later on immediately, therefore in this case, being judged as from opening state becomes off status (step S20: be), closes the 2nd gate 32 (step S21).Then, the state of the door 4a～4d of automatic ticket checker 100,101 is all opened in maintenance, allows the user current, and in order to accept the step S1 that next noncontact recording medium turns back to Fig. 8, the 1st antenna 11 waits for and next noncontact recording medium communicates.In addition, the noncontact certificate 30 that has passed through the 2nd gate 32 is recovered in the collection box 6 by recovery approach 7.

On the other hand, if noncontact certificate 30 is had no backing deadweight by the 2nd gate 32 in step S20, then keep off status by detecting sensor 52 owing to the 2nd, therefore in this case, be not judged as and become off status (step S20: not) from opening state, the timer 10 of time after opening with reference to instrumentation the 2nd gate 32 is judged and whether has been passed through the schedule time (step S22) after opening the 2nd gate 32.At this moment, if do not pass through the schedule time (step S22: not), judge once more then whether the 2nd become off status (step S20) from opening state by detecting sensor 52.And, if keep not becoming off status (step S22: passed through the schedule time (step S22: be) under the state not) by detecting sensor 52 from opening state the 2nd, then be judged as taken place that in recovery approach 7 noncontact certificate 30 blocks etc. unusual, unusually close the 2nd gate 32 (step S23) in order to handle this, open the 3rd gate 33 (step S24).And, closing the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (step S25) of automatic ticket checker 101, the person of banning use of is current.Then, if by opening the 3rd gate 33, noncontact certificate 30 is returned mouth 8, then in order to accept the step S1 that next noncontact recording medium turns back to Fig. 8, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.On the other hand, if noncontact certificate 30 is returned mouth 8, then in recovery approach 7, taken place unusual to the host computer H notice that is arranged on the staff chamber by communication unit 13.And, if the staff has confirmed this notice, handled unusual in the recovery approach 7, then in order to accept the step S1 that next noncontact recording medium turns back to Fig. 8, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.

If according to above-mentioned order, then only before the input of recovery approach 7, be judged as recovery, and write down the noncontact certificate of the identifying information identical with the identifying information that is judged as the noncontact certificate 30 that can set off, promptly, the noncontact certificate 30 identical with noncontact certificate 30 before dropping into put under the situation of recovery approach 7 from input port 3, open the 2nd gate 32 noncontact certificate 30 is recovered to collection box 6, allow simultaneously to pass through, can make the user current.Therefore, be judged as other noncontact certificate that reclaims and be judged as beyond the noncontact certificate 30 that can set off or the such invalid noncontact certificate of noncontact certificate of forgery even in recovery approach, dropped in 7, owing to do not make the user to pass through when not reclaiming, therefore can prevent to drop into of the devious conduct of invalid noncontact certificate reliably by ticket checking machine.

In addition, only read identifying information by the 2nd antenna control unit 22, and carry out whether consistent judgement according to identifying information, judge whether that with the full detail that reads noncontact certificate 30 and for full detail consistent situation compares, can shorten after noncontact certificate 30 is put in the recovery approach, read the time that is spent and judge the time that is spent, can foreshorten to permission or the logical overall processing time that no through traffic.

In addition, if it is consistent with the identifying information that is read by the 1st antenna control unit 21 to be judged as the identifying information that is read by the 2nd antenna control unit 22, then open the 3rd gate 33 by not opening the 2nd gate 32, the inconsistent invalid noncontact certificate of identifying information is put into situation the recovery approach 7 from input port 3 under, can return invalid noncontact certificate immediately, accept next noncontact recording medium.

In addition, after the gate 31,32 of having been confirmed a side by gate detecting sensor 41,42 is closed, by the gate 31,32 of opening the opposing party, can not carry out the whether consistent judgement and prevent that noncontact certificate 30 from entering into collection box 6 of identifying information that reads by the 2nd antenna control unit 22 and the identifying information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21.In addition, by by confirming that by detecting sensor 51,52 noncontact certificates 30 have passed through each gate 31,32, close each gate 31,32 immediately, can prevent that whether consistent next noncontact certificate 30 enters into recovery approach 7 and can not normally judge in identifying information deterministic process.

In addition, after having opened the 1st gate 31, passed through the 1st gate 31 if during the process schedule time, detect the noncontact certificate by detecting sensor 51 by the 1st, then by closing the 1st gate 31, can be after having read the information of noncontact certificate 30 by the 1st antenna control unit 21, noncontact certificate 30 is not put into situation the recovery approach 7 from input port 3 under, accept next noncontact recording medium immediately.

In addition, after having opened the 2nd gate 32, if passed through the schedule time during do not detect noncontact certificate 30 by detecting sensor 52 and do not passed through the 2nd gate 32 by the 2nd, then by closing the 2nd gate 32, because under the situation that to have taken place that in recovery approach 7 noncontact certificate 30 blocks etc. unusual, therefore stop recovery approach 7 by the 2nd gate 32, can handle unusual in the recovery approach 7 reliably.In addition,, can return mouth 8, accept next noncontact recording medium immediately becoming unusual noncontact certificate 30 by opening the 3rd gate 33.

And then, comprise that by setting for the 1st antenna 11 detects the sensing range 11a of noncontact recording medium in input port 3, can not need noncontact certificate 30 is covered the 1st antenna 11, only be directly to put in the input port 3, the 1st antenna 11 communicates with noncontact certificate 30, the 1st antenna control unit 21 reads the information of noncontact certificate 30, and the processing that therefore allows to noncontact certificate 30 is simple, seeks user's convenience.

In above-mentioned example, enumerated the situation of before noncontact certificate 30 is put into recovery approach 7, carrying out the judgement that to set off as an example, can and the present invention be not limited to this example, also can carry out the judgement that set off to noncontact certificate 30 after putting in the recovery approach 7.Figure 10 and Figure 11 are the process flow diagrams that the action of automatic ticket checker 100 in this case is shown.Among the figure, the identical symbol of mark in the step identical with Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.Among Figure 10, if the antenna of the 1st antenna 11 and noncontact recording medium communicates, then CPU10 has been judged as the 1st antenna communication (step S1: be), is read the identifying information (step S2a) of this noncontact recording medium by the 1st antenna control unit 21.

And, judge whether to reclaim noncontact recording medium (step S3a) by judging unit 10a according to the identifying information that reads by the 1st antenna control unit 21.Here, the noncontact recording medium of communicating by letter with the 1st antenna 11 is judged as and does not reclaim (step S3a: not) if non-contact card 20 is the noncontact card from identifying information identification noncontact recording medium then.If judge like this, then read the ticket checking information (step S3b) of non-contact card 20 by the 1st antenna control unit 21, judge can set off (step S3c) according to the ticket checking information that reads.Here, if it is undesired and can not set off (step S3c: not) then closes the door 4a of automatic ticket checker 100 and the door 4c (step S3d) of automatic ticket checker 101 to be judged as the ticket checking information of non-contact card 20, the person's of banning use of is current.And, turning back to step S1 in order to accept next noncontact recording medium, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.In addition, in step S311,, then keep all opening the state of the door 4a～4d of automatic ticket checker 100,101, allow the user current if it is normal and can set off (step S3c: be) to be judged as the ticket checking information of non-contact card 20.And, turning back to step S1 in order to accept next noncontact recording medium, the 1st antenna 11 is waited for next noncontact recording medium and being communicated.

In step S3a, if the noncontact recording medium of communicating by letter with the 1st antenna 11 is noncontact certificate 30, be the noncontact certificate then from identifying information identification noncontact recording medium, be judged as recovery (step S3a: be).If judge like this, confirm then whether the 2nd gate detecting sensor 42 is off status (step S6), if the off status of being confirmed to be (step S6: be) is then opened the 1st gate 31 (step S7).Thus, make noncontact certificate 30 put into the recovery approach 7 from input port 3.Then, identical with the order that in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, illustrated, the processing of execution in step S8～step S13.
