For example, as described above, in the automatic ticket gate, when not permitting the passage, the door (not shown) is opened to permit the user to pass, and when the passage is not permitted, the door (not shown) is closed. To block the traffic of the user.

Next, the procedure of data transmission in the automatic ticket gate system configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the reader / writer 20 is connected to the antenna 4
In addition to transmitting the driving power to the wireless card 1 existing within the communication area of the wireless communication device 1 and inquiring whether or not there is a transmission request, the wireless card 1 having the transmission request is permitted to transmit (polling). The driving power is constantly transmitted to the communication area of the antenna 4 during data transmission.

In this state, the wireless card 1 existing within the communication area of the antenna 4 receives the driving power from the reader / writer 20 and starts up. And the wireless card 1
When data transmission is permitted by polling, R
The content recorded in the OM 12 or the RAM 13 is read and transmitted to the reader / writer 20 as read data.

When the reader / writer 20 receives the read data transmitted from the wireless card 1, the reader / writer 20
When the ENQ signal is transmitted to the automatic ticket gate main body 40, and the ACK signal is received from the automatic ticket gate main body 40 in response to the ENQ signal, the read data from the wireless card 1 is transmitted to the automatic ticket gate main body 40.

The automatic ticket gate main body 40 includes the reader / writer 2
A determination is made as to whether or not the traffic is permitted based on the read data received from the wireless card via the "0". Further, the automatic ticket gate main body 40 performs a process of permitting passage or a process of disallowing passage according to this determination, and generates write data as a processing result. After transmitting the ACK signal to the reader / writer 20, the automatic ticket gate main body 40 transmits the generated write data.

The reader / writer 20 is an automatic ticket gate main body 4
When an ACK signal corresponding to the read data is received from 0, and further when the write data to the wireless card 1 is received, the ACK signal is transmitted to the automatic ticket gate main body 40. Then, the reader / writer 20 transmits the write data to the wireless card 1.

Upon receiving the write data from the reader / writer 20, the wireless card 1 executes a process based on the write data and records the write data in the RAM 13 or the like. When these processes are completed, the wireless card 1 reads the contents recorded in the RAM 13 again, and transmits the contents to the reader / writer 20 as reread data.

Upon receiving the reread data from the wireless card 1, the reader / writer 20 inquires of the automatic ticket gate main body 40 whether or not the reread data is correct. Upon receiving a signal indicating that the inquiry is correct from the automatic ticket gate main body 40, a series of communication processing is completed.

Next, the operation of the wireless card 1 in the automatic ticket gate system will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the wireless card 1 has a reader / writer 2
It is started by receiving driving power from 0 (step 1). Then, the CPU 11 transmits the recorded contents recorded in the ROM 12 or the RAM 13 to the reader / writer 20 as read data (step 2). As the read data as the recorded content to be transmitted as described above, for example, when the wireless card 1 has a function of both a commuter pass and an SF card, a period such as a valid section as a commuter pass, a valid period, etc. The ticket information and the amount information such as the remaining amount as the SF card and the entrance information (or entry information) are read data.

After transmitting the read data, the CPU 11
When write data as a processing result for the read data is received from the automatic ticket gate main body 40 via the reader / writer 20 (step 3), the display content corresponding to the write data is determined.

Then, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there is sufficient drive power to display the display content on the display unit 2 by determining the drive power amount received by the display power determination unit 15. (Step 4).

When it is determined that the drive power for display is sufficient, the CPU 11 reads the write data again, and transmits the reread data to the reader / writer 20 (step 5). When the reader / writer 20 notifies the transmitted reread data that the reread data is correct, the CPU 11 displays the display contents on the display unit 2 (step 6).

When it is determined in step 4 that the driving power for display is not sufficient, the CPU 11 notifies the automatic ticket gate that the driving power for display is insufficient (step 7). It waits until the driving power for display is sufficient. In this case, if sufficient driving power for display cannot be received, the display content of the display unit 2 is not rewritten.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the automatic ticket gate corresponding to the operations of the wireless card 1 in steps 1 to 7 described above.

First, the automatic ticket gate is equipped with a reader / writer 20.
, And transmits a start signal to the wireless card 1 that performs communication by performing polling (step 11). When receiving the read data transmitted from the wireless card 1 corresponding to the activation signal (step 1
2), the CPU 41 determines whether or not the user is allowed to pass based on the read data received via the reader / writer 20 (step 13).

When it is determined that the traffic is permitted,
The CPU 41 permits the user to pass, and transmits write data indicating processing contents such as the contents of use and the balance after use to the wireless card 1 (step 14).

After transmitting the write data, if the reread data is received without receiving a notification from the wireless card 1 that the drive power for displaying on the display unit 2 is insufficient (step 15) (step 16). ), CPU 41 determines whether or not the re-read data is correct (step 17). When the CPU 41 determines that the re-read data is correct,
The processing unit 43 opens the door (not shown) and executes the process of permitting the user to pass (step 18).

In step 15, if the CPU 41 receives a notification that the drive power is not sufficient, the CPU 41 uses the display 45 to supply the drive power to the wireless card 1. Is displayed, or guidance for re-presentation of the wireless card is given by voice using a speaker (not shown) (step 19). By such guidance, it is notified that the driving power is not sufficient.

When the guidance is being provided, the CPU 41 suspends the processing based on the above-mentioned determination result and sets a state in which the passage of the user is prohibited while the door (not shown) is closed (step 20). The CPU 41 waits for re-presentation of the wireless card 1 in a state where the traffic is prohibited, and waits until the driving power of the wireless card 1 becomes sufficient.

When it is determined in step 13 that the passage is not permitted, when it is determined in step 16 that the reread data cannot be received within a predetermined time, or when the reread data is correctly When it is determined that there is no access, the processing unit 43 sets the door (not shown) in a closed state and executes a process of disallowing the user from passing (step 21).

As described above, the automatic ticket gate makes a traffic judgment based on the data with the wireless card based on the communication, transmits the result to the wireless card, and receives a reply to the transmitted data. Upon receiving the determination result, the wireless card transmits reread data if the driving power is sufficient, and displays the content of the determination. If the driving power is insufficient, an abnormal display is performed without transmitting the reread data.

Thus, when the driving power is insufficient, the passage is prohibited until the driving power for display is sufficient, and the normal display contents can be always displayed on the display unit of the wireless card. .

Next, an embodiment for performing an abnormal display when the driving power is not sufficient will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

In this case, the CPU 11 operates in the same manner as the above-mentioned steps 1 to 6 (steps 31 to 36). When it is determined in step 4 that the driving power for display is not sufficient, the CPU 11 determines that the display is abnormal. The displayed information is displayed (step 37). The information indicating a display abnormality is information that can be displayed on the display unit 2 with information that can be displayed with a smaller drive power than a drive power required to display normal display contents. This display content is rewritten to a normal display including the display content when the wireless card is used again and sufficient driving power is received.

For example, as the information that can be displayed as described above, the display content is displayed in characters smaller than a predetermined size, or only necessary minimum information such as the remaining balance after use is displayed. Then, when the wireless card is used again and receives sufficient driving power, the portion displayed in small characters or the portion that could not be displayed is displayed with normal display contents.

Thus, even when sufficient driving power cannot be obtained, the user can check necessary information such as usage details by looking at the display unit provided on the wireless card main body.

Further, as the displayable information as described above, a symbol or character such as a dot (dot) indicating a display abnormality is displayed, and the wireless card is used again and sufficient drive power is received. At this time, information indicating a display abnormality may be erased and a normal display may be performed.

Thus, when sufficient driving power cannot be obtained, the user can confirm that the display contents could not be displayed because the driving power was insufficient. Also,
When the wireless card is used next time, the display contents can be displayed normally.

The operation of the automatic ticket gate corresponding to the operation of the wireless card in steps 31 to 37 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

That is, the automatic ticket gate transmits a drive signal and a start signal by the reader / writer 20 (step 41). When read data is received from the wireless card 1 in response to the start signal (step 4).
2), the CPU 41 determines whether or not the traffic is permitted based on the read data (step 43). When the permission of passage is determined by this determination, the CPU 41 transmits write data as a processing result to the wireless card 1 (step 4).
4).

When the CPU 41 receives the reread data corresponding to the transmitted write data from the wireless card 1 (step 45), it determines whether or not the contents of the reread data are correct (step 46). When it is determined that the content of the reread data is correct, the CPU 41 executes a process of permitting the user to pass by the processing unit 43 (step 47).

If it is determined in step 43 that the passage is not permitted, if the reread data cannot be received in step 45, or if the reread data is incorrect in step 46, the processing unit 43 A process for disallowing user traffic is executed (step 48).

As described above, when a wireless card having a display unit has insufficient driving power for display at the time of use, information indicating a display abnormality that can be displayed with a small driving power is displayed on the wireless card. It was done.

With this, when the driving power for display is insufficient in the wireless card having the display unit, information indicating a display abnormality is displayed, and it is possible to indicate that the use content could not be displayed by the driving power. It is possible to continue the smooth operation of the automatic ticket gate system without stopping the user due to insufficient driving power when using the wireless card and congesting the ticket gate.

Further, when the wireless card having a display unit has insufficient driving power for display at the time of use, the contents of use are displayed on the wireless card using small characters that can be displayed with a small drive power. Things.

Thus, even when the driving power for display is insufficient in the wireless card having the display unit, the contents of use can be displayed, and when the wireless card is used, the driving power is insufficient. Stops and the ticket gates are not crowded, so that the automatic ticket gate system can be operated smoothly.

Further, the automatic ticket gate performs a traffic judgment on the data with the wireless card based on the communication, transmits the result to the wireless card, and receives a reply to the transmitted data. The wireless card transmits the reread data when receiving the determination result. And if the driving power is enough,
A predetermined processing content is displayed, and when the driving power is insufficient, an abnormal display is performed. In the automatic ticket gate, if the re-read data is correct, the passage is permitted.

Thus, even if the wireless card has insufficient driving power for display, the automatic ticket gate can permit the user to pass the traffic and permit the user to pass the traffic if the judgment result of the traffic is permission. As a result, the operation of the automatic ticket gate system can be continued smoothly without stopping the user of the wireless card having a shortage of the driving power for display and congesting the ticket gate.

Next, a toll collection system (wireless recording medium system) in a toll parking lot using a wireless card will be described as a second embodiment.

This toll collection system has a wireless card 1, a reader / writer 2, similarly to the configuration shown in FIG.

And an antenna coil as the antenna 4 is provided along the wireless card body.

The internal configuration of the wireless card 1, the reader / writer 20 and the toll collection unit as the host device 40 is as follows.
The configuration is the same as that of the system shown in FIG.

When the system shown in FIG. 3 is applied to a toll collection system, the toll collection unit body 40 as a host device
The processing unit 43 executes a process of disabling permission of exit or entry based on the determination of permission of passage by the CPU 41. In this case, for example, when the passage is permitted, a gate (not shown) provided at the entrance or the entrance is raised to enable exit (or entry), and when the passage is not permitted, the gate ( (Not shown) is lowered to prevent outgoing (or incoming).

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a data transmission procedure in the toll collection system.

In this toll collection system, as shown in FIG. 11, similarly to the data transmission procedure in the automatic ticket gate system shown in FIG. 4, the wireless card 1 as a wireless recording medium and the wireless card 1 as a wireless communication device are used. Reader / writer 2
The transmission of data between 0 and the toll collection receiver main body 40 is executed.

Next, the operation of the wireless card 1 in this toll collection system will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the wireless card 1 is connected to the reader / writer 2
It is started by receiving driving power from 0 (step 51).
Then, the CPU 11 sets the ROM 12 or the RAM 13
Is transmitted to the reader / writer 20 as read data (step 52). At this time, as the read data as the recorded content to be transmitted, for example, when the wireless card is a charge card, the remaining amount of the charge card,
And the storage information such as the date and time of entry and the withdrawal amount at the time of entry is defined as read data.

After transmitting the read data, the CPU 11
When write data such as a settlement amount or a balance after use is received from the toll collection unit main body 40 via the reader / writer 20 as a result of determining whether or not to leave the read data (step 5).
3) Determine display contents corresponding to the write data.

Then, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there is sufficient drive power to display the display content on the display unit 2 by determining the drive power amount received by the display power determination unit 15. (Step 54).

When it is determined that the drive power for display is sufficient, the CPU 11 reads the write data again and transmits the reread data to the reader / writer 20 (step 55). When the reader / writer 20 notifies the transmitted reread data that the reread data is correct, the CPU 11 displays the display contents on the display unit 2 (step 56).

When it is determined in step 54 that the driving power for display is not sufficient, the CPU 11 notifies the toll collection unit that the driving power for display is insufficient (step 57). Wait until the driving power is sufficient. In this case, if sufficient driving power for display cannot be received, the display content of the display unit 2 is not rewritten.

Next, the operation of the toll collection device corresponding to the operation of the wireless card 1 in steps 51 to 57 in this toll collection system will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in the toll collection device, the reader / writer 2
In addition to transmitting the drive power by using 0, a start signal is transmitted to the wireless card 1 that performs communication by performing polling (step 61). When receiving the read data transmitted from the wireless card 1 corresponding to the activation signal (step 62), the CPU 41 calculates the usage fee based on the entrance date and time and the like, and adjusts the usage fee for the received read data. It is determined whether or not the delivery is permitted (step 63).

When it is determined that the retrieval is permitted,
The CPU 41 permits leaving the car from the parking lot and transmits to the wireless card 1 write data such as the usage fee and the balance after use as information indicating the determination result (step 64).

After transmitting the write data, if the reread data is received without receiving a notification from the wireless card 1 that the drive power for displaying on the display unit 2 is insufficient (step 65), the reread data is received (step 66). ), CPU 41 determines whether or not the re-read data is correct (step 67). When the CPU 41 determines that the re-read data is correct,
, The gate is opened by the processing unit 43 and the exit permission process is executed (step 68).

If a notification is received at step 65 that the drive power is not sufficient, the CPU 41 asks the display 45 to supply the drive power to the wireless card. Is displayed, or guidance for re-presentation of the wireless card is given by voice using a speaker (not shown) (step 69). With such guidance, it is notified that the driving power is insufficient.

If the guidance is being provided, the CPU 41 suspends the processing based on the above-mentioned determination result, and prohibits leaving the warehouse with the gate (not shown) closed (step 70). The CPU 41 waits for re-presentation of the wireless card in a state in which the retrieval is prohibited, and waits until the driving power of the wireless card 1 becomes sufficient.

When it is determined in step 63 that the retrieval is not permitted, when it is determined in step 66 that the reread data cannot be received within a predetermined time, or when the reread data is correctly When it is determined that there is no exit, the processing section 43 performs a process of leaving the gate (not shown) closed so as to prohibit delivery (step 71).

In the above example, when the driving power for display is sufficient in the wireless card, the car can be taken out of the car. However, even if the display cannot be displayed normally, the processing of the car can be smoothly performed. Similarly to the above-described steps 31 to 48 of the system, even if the driving power is insufficient, if it is determined that the retrieval is permitted, information indicating a display abnormality that can be displayed with low power is displayed, and the retrieval is performed. Permission processing may be executed.

[0108] As described above, the wireless card reads out the recorded content and transmits it to the toll collection device, and when receiving the determination result from the toll collection device, the driving power for displaying the determination result is insufficient. In such a case, the drive power shortage is notified. When the toll collection device is determined to be out of the car, if the drive power for displaying the wireless card is insufficient, even if the judgment result of the outgoing car is permitted, the drive of the wireless card will have enough power to display normally. We prohibit leaving until we can do, and guide re-presentation of wireless card.

Thus, when the driving power for display of the wireless card is insufficient, guidance of the wireless card for supplying the driving power is performed, and a normal display can always be performed on the display unit of the wireless card.
