Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously issue a fare ticket for a limited express section and a train ticket for a train-using section including a limited express utilizing section. SOLUTION: A line section information storing mechanism storing a line section information table is provided and in accordance with the designation input of a limited express using section by a user, a fare ticket section is defined (501). Then a train ticket selecting picture is displayed and when the purchase of the limited express ticket and a train ticket to a local train leaving station is designate-inputted (502), the line information table is referred to so as to obtain routing information from a limited express leaving station to the local train leaving station and the candidate of a train-leaving station (503) to display a train-leaving station selecting picture. When a train-leaving station is designate-inputted (504, 505), a route from the limited express leaving station to the designated local train leaving station is obtained based on routing information and the routing picture is displayed. When a route is designate- inputted (506), fare ticket information of the limited express using section and train ticket information from the limited express leaving station to the local train leaving station are prepared (507) to simultaneously issue the fare ticket and the train ticket (508).

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional automatic ticket issuing machine installed at a railway station or the like, when a limited express section is different from a boarding station or alighting station of a conventional line, a ticket operation of a limited express section is performed. Separately execute the operation for issuing a ticket in the conventional line use section including the express use section, and the operation for issuing each ticket piece of the operation for issuing a toll ticket and the operation for issuing a ticket separately By doing so, the intended fare ticket and ticket were issued.
Also, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-39794, an online ticketing terminal which is connected online to a host computer and issues tickets by interactive operation with a terminal operator such as a station counter attendant according to instructions of the host computer. Also, if the express section is different from the boarding station or disembarkation station of the conventional line, the ticketing operation for the toll ticket for the limited express section and the ticketing operation for the conventional line section including the limited express section separately. By executing this, the desired fare ticket and the ticket were issued. As described above, in the conventional automatic ticketing machine and online ticketing terminal, when the limited express section is different from the boarding station or disembarkation station of the conventional line, the ticket issuing operation of the limited express section and the boarding of the conventional line section are performed. This is a ticket issuing machine that issues a target fare ticket and a ticket by separately executing ticket issuing operations. In general, an automatic ticketing machine that executes ticket issuing operations and ticket issuing operations separately requires unnecessary ticketing due to erroneous operation by the user, and separates ticket issuing operations and ticket issuing operations separately. In other words, the operation time required to issue a fare ticket and a ticket required by one user is lengthened, and the efficient operation of the apparatus is hindered.
