Description of the Related Art Generally, a railway station is provided with station equipment such as an automatic ticket vending machine, an automatic ticket gate, an automatic payment machine, etc., and monitors the state of these station equipment and controls each station equipment. An equipment monitoring and control system is provided.

[0003] The state of station equipment is constantly monitored via a monitor installed at a monitoring center of the equipment monitoring and control system. If an equipment error such as a ticket jam occurs in the station equipment, this abnormality is detected. The monitoring center is automatically notified, and the monitoring center that has received the notification of the occurrence of the abnormality performs device control such as the cancellation of the abnormality through the operation panel.

[0004] At this time, a call is made between a staff member at the monitoring center and the user via an interphone arranged adjacent to the station service equipment, and a response to the user is made.

[0005] Conventionally, automatic ticket gates, automatic ticket vending machines,
In order to operate and monitor station equipment such as automatic checkout machines, equipment error indicators, reset switches, intercoms that enable conversations with customers are provided, etc. Stationary surveillance equipment operating in a closed state was installed at the station.

[0006] These monitoring devices are installed in places where station staff are constantly deployed, and the station staff can know the abnormal state of the station service equipment with this monitoring device. Judge whether it is an abnormal condition to go to or an error that can be released remotely, make a call by intercom to the customer and provide guidance. Has been released.

Further, a customer unfamiliar or unfamiliar with the station presses the "call" button provided on the station equipment even if no abnormality has occurred in the station equipment, and turns on the interphone of the monitoring device. Various information and guidance have been received through conversations with the calling station staff.

Further, according to the image of the monitor, for example,
If it is confirmed that the operator is confused in front of the vending machine without knowing the operation method of the vending machine, the station staff calls the station equipment intercom from the monitoring device side and provides operation guidance to the customer. I also do things.

However, since the installation location of the monitoring device is fixed, it is necessary that at least one station staff is always on standby at this location to engage in the monitoring of station equipment and the service of intercom. Was.

Further, in the conventional station service system, various information managed by station service equipment (for example, schedule information, station yard information, fare information, operation information, reserved seat vacant seat information, station leftovers, etc.) Information) at a station where the information acquisition terminal is located, select the information to be acquired by the information acquisition terminal, and display the result. .

Further, in the conventional station service system, when information such as equipment failure or emergency contact is notified to the station staff using a telephone or the like, it is not necessary to notify only one person, but the job type of the station staff and the equipment in charge in advance. There was a case where each group was registered and all the groups were notified.

Conventionally, when a disabled person enters the station premises, there has been only the following guidance method.

(1) Guiding a visually impaired person by using a Braille block or the like.

(2) Guidance of a visually impaired person by a guide dog, an attendant, or the like.

(3) Request guidance from station staff in a station office or the like.

Further, when the monitoring center is notified of the equipment abnormality, after the equipment abnormality is released via the operation panel, a staff member is dispatched to the site to carry out processing such as a ticket jam. There is a problem that it takes time, and the user is made to wait during that time.

Further, it is difficult to obtain information at a necessary place when a station attendant or a customer needs it, and when the acquirer himself selects the information he needs, he does not have to select from all the information. The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of time and effort.

For example, in the related art, if the current date and time and the home number to be referred to (how many lines?) Are not input in order to acquire the timetable information, the information required by the acquirer can be obtained. There was no problem.

When a group for each occupation of the station staff and each device in charge is registered in advance and all the groups are notified, some of the station staff registered in the group are notified of information that they are not currently working. Even if you ca n’t respond,
In some cases, such information may not be valid only for those who are in a specific location, such as being away from the failed device and unable to respond promptly. A way to notify is desired.

Further, the conventional guidance method has the following problems.

(1) Since it is impossible to go to a place where there is no equipment for a Braille block, only a fixed range with a Braille block can be moved and the degree of freedom is low.

(2) Since the burden of purchasing and breeding guide dogs is large, it is necessary to prepare an attendant.

(3) You have to go to the station office,
There is not always a station worker in the station office, and in such a case, guidance is not possible.

(4) Kind guidance cannot be provided on a foreign language destination display board, but attending an interpreter is expensive.

In this case, the station staff who understands a foreign language is not always in the station office or the like, and in such a case, guidance cannot be performed.
