Based on the wireless communication result of No. 3, it is determined whether or not the holder 30 of the walking stick 20 can pass through the ticket gate and / or the ticket gate passage. When the passage is prohibited, the passage gate 11 is closed and the holder 30
Is not allowed to pass.

A user of a non-contact type toll ticket not using the cane 20 has, for example, a height of about chest to about knee, a height of about chest to about waist, or a height of about waist to about knee, It is expected that the passenger will pass through the automatic ticket gate 10 or the ticket gate or ticket gate passage while holding the non-contact type ticket. So, cane 2
A non-contact type pass ticket 25 is provided at or near the handle 21 (for example, the contact portion between the handle 21 and the support bar 22 and / or the non-contact type pass-through at the upper portion of the support bar 22). By providing the ticket 25), the position of the non-contact toll ticket 25 is set at a predetermined height from the ground (for example, the handle 21).
Or the height of the upper part of the support rod 22), and it is possible to prevent the contactless ticket 25 from being positioned too low during wireless communication.

Further, by providing a non-contact toll ticket 25 at or near the handle 21 of the cane 20, the tip of the support rod 22 of the cane 20 is attached to the non-contact toll ticket 2.
5, it is possible to prevent or reduce exposure of the non-contact type toll ticket 25 to wind and rain or to increase the temperature by direct sunlight, and furthermore, it is applied to the tip of the stick 20. The transmission of the impact to the non-contact pass ticket 25 can be reduced by the hand holding the handle 21, and the reliability of the non-contact pass ticket 25 can be improved. The cane 20
Non-contact passport 2 at or near the handle 21
5 may be attached.

In the automatic ticket gate system 100, since the walking stick 20 has the non-contact pass ticket 25, the holder 30 of the walking stick
Is convenient because it is not necessary to take out the non-contact toll ticket 25 near the ticket gate, for example, from a bag or a pocket of clothes. Further, there is an advantage that the holder 30 of the cane 20 can pass through the ticket gate and / or the ticket gate passage while wearing the cane 20.
