Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent two commutation(C) tickets owned by the same person from being illegally used by judging whether an inherent number coincident with the inherent number of a received C ticket is stored in a storage means to judge the illegal use of the C ticket. SOLUTION: At the time of reading out the ticket data of an inserted C ticket, a control part 5 judges whether the owner of the C ticket has another C ticket to be combined with the C ticket concerned by judging whether a bit indicating the possession of a plurality of C tickets in the ticket data is '1' or not. When the judgment is YES, the control part 5 judges whether a check timer for a check table stored in a storage part 6 corresponding to the combination ID number of the ticket data is being driven or not, and at the time of judging it as YES, checks whether the combination ID number and a using direction coincident with the combination ID number are stored in a storage part 6. When there is a using direction coincident with the combination ID number, the control part 5 judges the use of the ticket as illegal, guides an illegal ticket by a guide display part 9, closes a door part and generates warning by turning on a warning lamp so that a clerk can treat it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate system and an automatic ticket gate system for performing ticket gate processing using, for example, a commuter pass used in transportation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, commuter pass issuing apparatuses for issuing commuter passes (for example, used in transportation such as railways and buses) have been put to practical use. In such a commuter pass issuing device, by setting issuing conditions such as a departure station, a destination station, and a transit, a commuter pass in a section corresponding to the departure station, the destination station, and the transit is issued. . At this time, a regular fee is set according to the distance corresponding to the section.

In addition, due to competition with other companies' lines, a specific section which is set at a lower price than the above-mentioned rate is set, and a discounted regular rate for this specific section is set.

[0004] For this reason, when a specific section is included in the section where the commuter pass is issued, the transportation cost can be reduced by purchasing the commuter pass divided into two commuter passes. .

[0005] For example, when purchasing a commuter pass from Tokyo Station to Yokohama Station and purchasing it as one commuter pass, the regular fee (one month) is "13,290 yen". The commuter pass "4,940 yen" from Tokyo Station to Shinagawa Station (regular section) and the commuter pass "8,030 yen" from Shinagawa Station to Yokohama Station (specific section), a regular fee (one month) Is “12,970 yen”.

However, when two commuter passes are divided into two commuter passes in this way, if two commuter passes owned by the same person are connected at a station, the other commuter passes the other commuter pass to the owner. There was a problem that it was possible for other people to participate in the event.

For example, as shown in FIG.
The commuter pass of the section is “α” and “β” respectively, the holder of the commuter pass is “A”, the person who does not own the commuter pass is “B”, and both “A” and “B” Get off at "γ" which is the connecting station of "α" and "β".

[0008] 1. “A” has commuter passes of “α” and “β”, enters in the “α” section, and waits for “B” in the “γ” station premises.

[0009] 2. "B" does not have a commuter pass to "γ" station, and will get off with "AI"'s"β" commuter pass.

[0010] 3. Both "A" and "B" join at "γ" station.

4. “A” gets off with the “α” commuter pass.

5. “B” can get off with the “β” commuter pass brought by “A”.

[0013] Thus, there is a drawback that two commuter passes owned by the same person can get off at the same station (get off) or get on at the same station (get on) at the same time.

[0014]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when two commuter passes owned by the same person are connected at a station where the other commuter pass is used, a person other than the owner uses the other commuter pass at that station. Automatic ticket gates, automatic ticket gate systems, and unauthorized use judgments of automatic ticket gates that eliminate the disadvantage of being able to participate in the event and preventing unauthorized use of two commuter passes owned by the same person It is intended to provide a way.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an automatic ticket gate system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an automatic ticket gate system of the present invention.

This automatic ticket gate system is composed of automatic ticket gates 1, ... installed at each ticket gate of a predetermined station. A monitoring device 3 as a higher-level device is connected to the automatic ticket gates 1,... For each ticket gate via a communication line 2, and the monitoring devices 3,. It has become. As a result, the exchange of data between the automatic ticket gates 1,.
It can be done via.

Each of the automatic ticket gates 1,... Permits the passage of the corresponding automatic ticket gate on the basis of the read contents of the control unit 5, the storage unit 6, the communication interface 7, the commuter pass, etc. , A ticket processing unit 8 to be rejected, a guidance display unit 9 and the like. The ticket processing unit 8 includes a reading unit that reads magnetic data such as a commuter pass (not shown), a door unit that opens and closes based on the reading result of the reading unit, and a warning lamp that lights up and displays when the vehicle is illegally boarded.

The storage unit 6 has a check table 6 including a combination ID number, a use direction, and a check timer.
a is provided. The data stored in the check table 6a is not only the corresponding automatic ticket gate 1 but also
Data from other automatic ticket gates 1,... Are also stored. The check timer is a time obtained by adding a check time, for example, 5 minutes, to the use time of the commuter pass, and the check time ends at this time.

The combination ID number is 2 belonging to the same person.
The ID number is commonly assigned to the commuter passes.

The directions of use are entry from inside the ticket gate and entry into the ticket gate.

Each of the two commuter passes owned by the same person has, as magnetic data (ticket data) of the commuter pass, in addition to commuter pass information normally used such as a pass period, pass section, etc. And a plurality of ownership bits indicating whether or not the owner of the commuter pass owns another commuter pass to be combined. When the owner of the commuter pass owns a commuter pass to be combined with another, "1" is recorded (stands) in the multiple-ownership bit, and the commuter pass owner is combined with another commuter pass. If you do not own the ticket,
“0” is recorded.

When the plurality of bits “1” are read from the commuter pass, the automatic ticket gates 1,... Determine that the owner of the commuter pass owns another commuter pass. It is determined whether or not the check timer of the check table 6a of the storage unit 6 corresponding to the combination ID number read at the same time is being activated, and when activated, the combination ID number coincides with the usage direction. It is checked whether or not the usage direction is stored in the check table 6a of the storage unit 6, and when there is a match, the illegal riding is determined and the countermeasures are taken.

When the check timer is not running or no match is found as a result of the check, the automatic ticket gate 1,... Assigns a combination ID number, a use direction and a check timer. And stores it in the check table 6a.
To be sent to.

The automatic ticket gates 1,... Are provided with a combination ID number supplied from the other automatic ticket gates 1,.
a.

Next, a ticket gate process (at the time of entry or exit) of the automatic ticket gate 1 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, when the ticket data of the inserted commuter pass is read (ST1), the control unit 5 determines the possession of the commuter pass by determining whether or not the plurality of possession bits are “1” in the read ticket data. It is determined whether the person has a commuter pass combined with another (ST2). As a result, when it is determined that the owner of the commuter pass owns a commuter pass to be combined with another, the control unit 5 checks the check table 6a in the storage unit 6 corresponding to the combination ID number of the read ticket data. It is determined whether or not the check timer is activated (ST3). When the check timer is activated, the combination ID corresponding to the combination ID number and the use direction is determined.
Check table 6a in storage unit 6 for D number and direction of use
Is checked (ST4). As a result of this check, when there is a match, the control unit 5 determines an illegal ride, guides the illegal ride on the guidance display unit 9, closes the door part, issues a warning by lighting a warning light, A staff member is assigned (ST5). At this time, the monitoring device 3 is also informed of the fraud, and the station staff listens to the situation which seems to have been fraudulently used.

When it is determined in step 3 that the check timer is not running, or when there is no match as a result of the check in step 4, the control unit 5 checks the combination ID number and the use direction. A time is given and stored in the check table 6a.
.. Are transmitted to the other automatic ticket gates 1,... (ST6).

Thereafter, or when it is determined in step 2 that the owner of the commuter pass does not own a commuter pass to be combined with another, the control unit 5 performs a normal ticket checking operation such as period judgment or section judgment. Is performed (ST7).

Next, a specific example of the above processing will be described.

For example, it is assumed that the same person owns two commuter passes A and B as divided commuter passes. FIG.
As shown in the figure, A commuter pass has a section from station a to station b, B commuter pass has a section from station b to station c, and two pieces obtained by dividing the section from station a to station c. Has become a commuter pass.

At this time, j is outside the section from station a to station c.
There is a station.

Further, it is assumed that two owners of "A commuter pass" and "B commuter pass" are "x" and their friends are "y".

In such a state, “x” is replaced by “A”.
Carry a commuter pass and a commuter pass B, and use the commuter pass A to get on at station 14:30 and head to station b.

"Y" purchases a ticket for the first fare at station j, gets on at 14:40, and heads for station b. To get off at station b, you have to pay for it.

At station b, "x" hands "y" a "B commuter pass" before getting off (before passing through automatic ticket gate 1).

“X” uses “A commuter pass” and connects station b to 1
Get off at 5:00.

"Y" does not settle for the ticket when boarding at j station and disembark at station b, but instead tries to get off at 15:03 with a "B commuter pass" borrowed from "x".

This is obviously fraudulent use of the commerce and other people's use of the commuter pass, and it cannot be admitted to get off.

In this case, the reason for having a check timer for the combined commuter pass in the same direction (at the time of getting off or at the time of boarding) is that if the check timer does not expire, for example, the A commuter pass will enter station b. However, when entering the station b with the B commuter pass after entering the c station with the B commuter pass, the fraud determination is NG even though no cheating is performed.

Hereinafter, a corresponding example of the present invention will be described.

That is, "x" indicates "A" in the automatic ticket gate 1 when using the "A commuter pass" and getting off at station "b" (14:55).
Insert a commuter pass.

As a result, the control unit 5 determines that the possession bit of the plurality of tickets is "1" in the read ticket data, and that the owner of the commuter ticket owns another commuter ticket to be combined (ST1). 2). At this time, the control unit 5 determines that the check timer of the check table 6a of the storage unit 6 corresponding to the combination ID number of the read ticket data is not activated (ST3), and may be inserted several minutes later. In order to perform a fraud check on a single ticket, the combination ID number, direction of use, and check time of the currently inserted ticket (15: 0)
5) is added and stored in the check table 6a, and is transmitted (distributed) to the other automatic ticket gates 1,... (S)
T6). As a result, the combination ID number, the use direction, and the check time (15:05) are similarly stored in the other automatic ticket gates 1,..., The check table 6a.

After that, the control section 5 performs a normal ticket checking operation such as a period judgment and a section judgment (ST7).

In step 3, since the boarding time is 14:30, the check timer is not activated at any station.

In this state, “B” borrowed from “x”
When "y" gets off station "b" on the commuter pass (15:03),
The B commuter pass is put into the automatic ticket gate 1.

As a result, the control unit 5 determines that the plurality of possession bits are “1” in the read ticket data, and that the owner of the commuter ticket owns another commuter ticket to be combined (ST1). 2). At this time, the control unit 5 determines that the check timer of the check table 6a of the storage unit 6 corresponding to the combination ID number of the read ticket data is being activated (ST3), and determines that the use direction coincides with the getting off. Yes (S
T4).
It is determined that the ride cannot be permitted to get off (illegal determination NG), the guide display unit 9 guides the illegal ride,
The door is closed, a warning is issued by the lighting display of the warning light, and a staff member is responded (ST5). At this time, the monitoring device 3 is also informed of the fraud, and the station staff listens to the situation which seems to have been fraudulently used.

In the above example, prevention of unauthorized use at the time of entry has been described. However, prevention of unauthorized use at the time of entry can be performed in the same manner as described above.

As described above, when two commuter passes owned by the same person try to enter or participate in a short time, it is determined that the second one has been used illegally by anyone other than the owner. , Entry or entry is disallowed.

This makes it possible to prevent unauthorized use of two commuter passes owned by the same person.

[0055]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, an automatic ticket gate, an automatic ticket gate system, and an automatic ticket gate that can prevent unauthorized use of two commuter passes owned by the same person. It can provide a method of determining unauthorized use.
