The storage device of the IC card ticket 105 includes:
Ticket data is stored. FIG. 9 shows the data structure of the ticket data. The ticket data 901 is data necessary for the user of the IC card ticket 105 storing this data to use various services. The ticket data 901 includes at least one of a card ID, a commuter pass section, a commuter pass valid period, a designated ticket train number, a designated ticket seat number, a designated ticket valid period, a coupon section, a coupon valid period, and a monetary value balance. One is included.

Hereinafter, the flow of processing in this system will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. (1) Card Issuing Process 1001 The IC card ticket issuing machine 106 issues an IC card ticket 105. Issuance of the IC ticket 105 includes writing the ticket data 901 on the IC card inserted by the user. Here, IC card ticket issuing machine 1
06 sets a value to an appropriate item of the ticket data 901. Further, information for identifying the user of the IC card ticket 105 is transmitted to the personal information use server 101. The information to be identified should include at least one of the user's name, address, zip code, gender, date of birth, place of work, school place, and smoking status.
One is included.

(2) Personal information registration processing 1002 The personal information use server 101 sets the received information in the card attribute information table 201, the ticket table 301, and the use history table 401.

(3) Personal Information Analysis Process 1003 In the personal information use server 101, actions to be performed by the card use device 102 for the user are listed in the card-specific action table 501 for each card ID. As this means, for example, using a customer analysis system to which data mining technology is applied, a customer analysis process is performed from the information set in the card attribute information table 201, the ticket table 301, and the usage history table 401, and the customer is analyzed. List the actions that match the characteristics.

In addition, the information for identifying the user stored in the IC card ticket may be stored in association with the action ID. Further, the contents of the ticket table and the action ID may be associated with each other. Further, the amount indicated by the money value balance and the action ID may be stored in association with each other. For example, an action ID for displaying information about station b is associated with a commuter pass between station a and station b.

An action is determined based on these correspondences. The action corresponding to the action ID is
Decide in advance. The determined contents are stored in at least one of the card using device 102 and each IC ticket. Therefore, the card using device 102 can extract information for specifying an action to be performed corresponding to the action ID. For example, the following processing is performed according to the stored contents. (1) When the action ID is 10, the ticket vending machine 108
, A message prompting the user to charge the monetary balance is displayed on the display. (2) When the action ID is 20, an advertisement of Hokkaido travel is displayed on the touch panel on the passenger information terminal 109. (3) The action ID is 30. In the case of, the feature such as "this IC card ticket user is a heavy user" is displayed on the display on the portable terminal 110 of the station staff as customer support information.
And so on. (4) Terminal setting information distribution processing 1004 In the personal information use server 101, first, a record in the terminal setting information table 701 is deleted. next,
The terminal setting information table 701 is newly created. Here, it is difficult to distribute the record of the action table 501 for each card created in the personal information analysis processing 1003 of (3) to each card using device 102 because the card using device 102 does not have a sufficient storage capacity. Therefore, the record for each card ID is distributed with priority given to the place and time likely to be used by the IC card ticket user. The personal information for each card ID is referred to as a criterion for determining a place or a time at which the card is likely to be used. That is, for the card ID of the card-specific action table 501 created in the personal information analysis processing 1003 of (3), an individual obtained by referring to the card attribute information table 201, the ticket table 301, and the use history table 401 Based on the information, a priority is assigned to each distribution destination and each distribution date and time, and a pair of a card ID and an action ID, which are terminal setting information, is assigned.

As the distribution destination, for example, if the IC card ticket is a commuter pass, the distribution is performed with a higher priority value for a card using device installed in a station included in the section of the commuter pass. Further, among the stations, the use station (the boarding or disembarking station) has a higher priority value than the other stations. Furthermore, the priority numerical value of a device that can update a ticket gate and a commuter pass is also increased among the use stations. The priority may be determined based on the usage history of the IC card ticket. That is, the priority numerical value of the ticket gate may be changed according to the number of times the user has used the past.

As for the distribution time of the IC card ticket, the numerical value of the priority is changed according to the past history. That is, the numerical value of the priority of the distribution time zone may be changed according to the number of times the user has used the service in the past. The priority may be determined according to the place of work (school place). The numerical value of the priority of the time zone including the work start time of the work place may be increased.

The details of the above-mentioned determination of the delivery destination and the priority of the delivery time will be described below. Here, the commuter pass section 302 of the ticket table 301 is used as personal information used for the distribution. As shown in FIG. 11, it is assumed that there is an A line from station a to station f. First, with respect to the card ID (12345 in FIG. 5) of the first record of the card-specific action table 501 created in the personal information analysis processing 1003 of (3), the commuter pass section 302 (see FIG. In FIG. 3, (station b to station d) is checked.

An IC having the commuter pass section 302
Priorities are assigned to stations in which the frequency of use of the card ticket 105 by the user is considered to be high. Here, both ends of the commuter pass section (here, stations b and d), stations between them (here, station c), and stations that are close to the outside of the commuter pass section (here,
The priority is increased in the order of “station a and station e), and the other stations (here, station f) on the route where the commuter pass section is applied. 1, 2, 3,... Are assigned in descending order of priority.

Then, for each card use device ID, the installation location is checked by referring to the card use device information table 601 and the priority for the installation location is determined together with the corresponding card ID and action ID pair in the terminal setting information table. 701 is set.

However, when there is an action ID that cannot be executed by the card using device 102, the record of the corresponding action ID is not set. Delivery date is IC
Set at midnight with few card ticket users. Thereafter, the same processing is performed on the card ID of the card-specific action table 501. The terminal setting information table 701 after creation is as shown in FIG.

The personal information used for distributing the terminal setting information includes use history (use station history, use route history, use section history, use train history, use day history, use time zone history, etc.), address, postal code. , Gender, age, ticket information other than the commuter pass section, work location, school location, smoking status, and the balance of money in the IC card ticket may be used.

For example, when using the history of used stations, the numerical value of the priority of the card using equipment installed at the station where the frequency of use of the IC card ticket user is higher than the others is compared with the other using equipment. High. In the case of using the route history, the card use equipment installed on the train of the route where the frequency of use of the IC card ticket user is higher than other
Increase the numerical value of the priority compared to other devices. When using the use section history, the priority value of the card use equipment installed at the station of the section where the IC card ticket user's use frequency is higher than the other is higher than the other use equipment. I do. When using the use train history, the card use equipment installed on the train with the train number that the IC card ticket user uses more frequently than other trains is given a numerical value of priority compared to other use machines. Make it higher.

When the use day history is used, the day of the week on which the IC card ticket user has a higher use frequency than the others is
The priority value is set higher than other days. When the use time period history is used, the priority value of the time period in which the frequency of use of the IC card ticket user is higher than the others is set higher than the others. When an address or a postal code is used, the priority of a card-using device installed near the IC card ticket user's address is set higher than the priority of other using devices. The vicinity of the address includes those related to the address and the installation location, such as a predetermined distance from the address, the same street name as the address, and the like. In the case of using gender, the priority value is set higher for card-using devices installed in places where women and men frequently use each other than for other devices. For example, if the user of the IC card ticket is a woman, a card using device installed in a women's clothing section is included in the device to be used for increasing the numerical value of the priority. When the age is used, the priority value of the card device installed in a place where the frequency of use of the age group of the IC card ticket user is higher than the others is set higher than the other devices. . For example, if a young person, the numerical value of the priority of the card using device installed in the fast food restaurant is set higher. Further, in a time zone where the frequency of use is high, for example, for an elderly person, the numerical value of the priority in the morning is set higher.

In the case of using the ticket information other than the commuter pass section, the numerical value of the priority of the card using device which is used more frequently according to the ticket information of the IC card ticket user is given as follows.
Set higher than other devices. For example, if the train number is a designated ticket train number, the priority of the card-using device installed in the train is increased. In addition, the priority value of the equipment used at the getting on / off station specified by the designated ticket is set higher than the other equipments. If the designated ticket is valid, the numerical value of the priority of the valid period is set higher than the others.

When the work place (school place) is used, the I
The priority value of the card-using device installed at the work location of the C-card ticket user is set higher than the other devices. When using the presence or absence of smoking, for example, if the user of the IC card ticket is a smoker, the numerical value of the priority of the card using device installed in the smoking area is set higher than other using devices. . In the case of using the monetary value balance in the IC card ticket, for example, if the monetary value balance in the IC card ticket is small, the numerical value of the priority of the card using device having the charging function is set higher than other using devices. .

The distribution destination and distribution date and time of the terminal setting information may be determined by using a plurality of pieces of personal information used for the distribution.

In the above example (including a commuter pass), a device or a time zone in which the numerical value of the priority is set higher than the others may be determined as the distribution destination or the distribution date and time, respectively. Further, the delivery destination or the delivery date and time may be determined according to the determined numerical value of the priority. Further, the priority value calculated as described above may be added for each device or distribution time to calculate the priority.

(5) Terminal setting information distribution processing 1005 The personal information use server 101 uses the terminal setting information table 7 created in the terminal setting information distribution processing 1004 in (4).
01 for each card using device ID, in descending order of priority.
A pair of a card ID and an action ID is distributed. When the distribution is performed up to the limit of the storage capacity of the corresponding card using device 102 with reference to the card using device information table 601, the distribution to the card using device 102 is stopped. It should be noted that the configuration may be such that transmission is performed up to a predetermined numerical value of priority without performing the storage capacity limit. Further, the distribution may be performed in accordance with the numerical value of the priority until the number of used devices reaches a predetermined number.

(6) Terminal information update processing 1006 The card-using device 102 that has received the information distributed in the terminal setting information distribution processing 1005 in (5) deletes the record in the card-specific action table 801 and deletes the received information. This is set in the action table 801 for each card. The action table for each card of a certain card using device is as shown in FIG.

(7) Action processing 1007 When the IC card reader / writer 105 accesses the IC card reader / writer, the card using device 102
The action is performed with reference to the card-specific action table 801 according to the card ID of the card ticket 105.
For example, the IC card reader / writer of the card-using device 102 storing the card-specific action table 801 of FIG. 8 stores the IC card storing the ticket data 901 of FIG.
When the card ticket 105 is accessed, since the card ID of the ticket data 901 is 12345, the actions with the action IDs 1, 3, and 4 are performed with reference to the card-specific action table 801.

Although the flow of the processing in this system has been described above, the personal information analysis processing 1003 of (3) may be repeatedly performed. Therefore, the action to be performed on the user of the IC card ticket 105 may need to be changed. In this case, the processes from (4) to (6) are repeated in the same manner.

In the first embodiment, based on personal information, I
By setting a list of actions to be performed on a card-using device or time frequently used by a C-card ticket user, even if the card-using device has a limited storage capacity, Appropriate actions can be taken. Further, since the action ID for the card ID is not provided in the IC card ticket but in the card using device, the storage capacity of the IC card ticket can be saved.

<Embodiment 2> The overall system configuration for realizing this embodiment is as shown in FIG. Embodiment 2 differs from Embodiment 1 in that the information set in the card using device 102 is information for updating an action performed by the card using device 102, which is stored in the IC card ticket 105. Further, instead of the card-specific action table 501, a card-specific action table 1201 is used. Further, a terminal setting information table 1301 is used instead of the terminal setting information table 701. Also, a card-specific action table 1401 is used instead of the card-specific action table 801. Also, the ticket data 1501 is used instead of the ticket data 901.

FIG. 12 shows a table structure of the action table 1201 for each card. The card-specific action table 1201 stores the ticket data 15 for each card ID.
A pair of the action ID and the required number of actions set to 01 is held. The card-specific action table 1201 includes at least one of a card ID, an action ID, and a required action count.
The required action count is the number of actions executed by the card-using device 102, which is specified for each action ID.

FIG. 13 shows a table configuration of the terminal setting information table 1301. Terminal setting information table 1301
The personal information use server 101 sets the pair of the action ID and the required number of times of action set in the ticket data 1501 for each card ID.

FIG. 15 shows the data structure of the ticket data 1501. The ticket data 1501 includes data necessary for a user of the IC card ticket 105 storing this data to use various services and a user of the IC card ticket 105 storing this data. In this case, information for executing an action to be performed by the card using device 102 is stored. The ticket data 1501 includes a card ID, a commuter pass section, a commuter pass validity period, a designated ticket train number, a designated ticket seat number, a designated ticket validity period, a coupon section, a coupon validity period, a monetary value balance, an action ID, and the like. A plurality of pairs of the remaining action count for the action ID are included. The commuter pass section or the like may not be provided depending on the type of card.

The remaining action count is the remaining action count to be performed by the card using device 102, which is managed for each action ID. As for the number of actions, each time an action is performed, the corresponding remaining action count is counted down by one.

Hereinafter, the flow of processing in this system will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. (1) Card issuance processing 1601 The card issuance processing 1001 is the same as (1) of the first embodiment except that the ticket data 1501 is used instead of the ticket data 901.

(8) Action processing 1608 The card-using device 102 transmits the action ID of the ticket data 1701 stored in the IC card ticket 105 accessed by the IC card reader / writer in the card information update processing 1607 of (7). Perform action by referring to. Each time the card using device 102 performs one action, the corresponding remaining action number of the ticket data 1701 is counted down by one. However, when the number of remaining actions is -2, the countdown of the number of remaining actions is not performed even after the execution of the corresponding action. If the remaining action count is 0, the corresponding action is not performed. After the action is executed, even if the corresponding remaining action count becomes 0, the corresponding action ID and remaining action count pair is not deleted from the ticket data and is left as it is. If there is an action ID that cannot be executed by the card using device 102, the corresponding action is not performed.

For example, with respect to the ticket data 1701 in FIG. 17, the card-using device 102 performs an action with an action ID of 5, 6, or 9, and as a result, the ticket data becomes as shown in FIG. .

Although the flow of the processing in this system has been described above, the personal information analysis processing 1603 of (3) may be repeatedly performed. Therefore, the action to be performed on the user of the IC card ticket 105 may need to be changed. In this case, the processes from (4) to (6) are repeated in the same manner.

In the second embodiment, the action ID of the action to be performed on the user is stored in the IC card ticket, so that each card-using device can perform an appropriate action on the user. . In particular, it becomes possible to execute an appropriate action in all the devices connected to the network.

However, the action I for the card ID
When D needs to be changed, the method of updating the action ID stored in the IC card ticket becomes a problem. Based on personal information, the information for this update
By setting the card-using device or time frequently used by the C-card ticket user, even in a card-using device with a limited storage capacity, the action ID stored in the IC card ticket can be appropriately updated, and Appropriate action can be taken for the user. Further, since the action ID and the remaining action count for the action ID are stored in the IC card ticket, the action of the action ID is performed even if the communication speed between the personal information use server and the card use device is low. Since the number of times the action has been taken can be ascertained reliably, the user can specify the required number of actions for each action.

In the above two embodiments, the medium for storing the ticket data need not be an IC card. In short, any storage medium having sufficient capacity to store the ticket data may be a magnetic card, a mobile phone, or a mobile terminal. Further, in the above two embodiments, the case where the means of transportation is a railroad has been described, but the same applies to other transportation means such as vehicles such as aviation, ships, and buses.

The information processing for providing a service using a storage medium such as an IC card can be executed more efficiently by using the service terminal.
