[0054]
In FIG. 5, first, it is assumed that the user purchases a ticket at the schedule terminal 200 installed at the travel agency. At the time of purchase, the user purchases a ticket using the user identification terminal 300. Thereby, the ticket sales site 600 that manages ticket reservation and sales can transmit this sales information to the information providing site 100 as schedule information of the user specified by the ID number (step 701). Receiving this schedule information, the host control unit 104 of the information providing site 100 updates the schedule DB 101 of the user specified by the ID number from NO3 to NO6 in FIG. 3A (step 703). Similarly, shopping information is also provided from the shopping site to the information providing site 100, and the action history information is updated.
[0055]
On the other hand, this user can access the information providing site 100 via the home schedule terminal 100 and input the time from the nearest station to the departure station with an ID number added (step 705). When receiving the input, the host control unit 104 updates the schedule DB 101 with NO1 and NO2 in FIG. 3A (step 707). Here, for example, when there are a plurality of ticket gates, the host control unit 104 registers the gate terminal 400 in the corresponding area.
[0056]
Now, operations and operations until a user who has registered such a schedule gets on the target train will be described.
[0057]
First, if there is a sub information providing server 500 that periodically refers to the user's schedule information and collects the gate terminals 400 registered in the schedule, the host control unit 104 sends the schedule information to the sub information providing server 500. Transmit (step 309). On the other hand, the station control unit 502 of the sub-information providing server 500 updates the latest data with reference to the transmission information sent periodically and the schedule information stored in the station storage unit 501 (step 711). ).
[0058]
When the user first brings the mobile phone 320 into contact with (closes to) the gate terminal 400 at the nearest station (step 713), the gate terminal 400 reads the ID number of the mobile phone (step 715) and provides sub information. The server 500 is inquired (step 717). The station control unit 502 refers to the site-specific information DB 106 recorded in the station storage unit 501, searches for information 400 to be displayed on the gate terminal, and returns the search result to the gate terminal 400 (step 721). ). Upon receiving the search result, the gate control unit 414 transmits related information to the mobile phone 320 and displays the related information on the gate display unit 411 (step 723). Here, in the case of the card 350, the display on the gate display unit 411 is displayed.
[0059]
The operation of the gate controller 414 will be further described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, the gate control unit 414 displays a standby screen set in advance when the power is on (step 801), and detects the user identification terminal 300 (step 803). When the user identification terminal 300 is detected, the base information of the user corresponding to the read ID number is acquired from the station host server 500 (step 804). First, the type of the user identification terminal 300 is determined (step 805).
[0060]
If it is determined in step 805 that the mobile phone 320 has its own display device, it is next determined whether or not there is schedule information (step 807), and if there is schedule information, the next gate terminal is guided to the mobile phone. 320 (step 809), if there is no schedule information, information around the gate terminal is transmitted to the mobile phone 320 (step 817).
[0061]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step 805 that the card 350 has no display device, it is next determined whether or not there is schedule information (step 821). Is displayed on the gate display unit 411 (step 823), and if there is no schedule information, it is determined whether there is history information in step 811 (step 811). Here, in step 823, the personal information is displayed on the gate display unit 411 that can be viewed by anyone, so that it is displayed together with the character information preset by the user.
[0062]
In step 811, the mobile phone 320 and the card 350 both determine whether there is history information. If there is history information, information related to the character is displayed on the gate display unit 411 (step 813). If there is no history information, predetermined information stored in advance in the gate terminal 400 is displayed in a predetermined order in the gate terminal. (Step 819).
[0063]
Then, the gate control unit 411 displays the content displayed on the gate display unit 411 for a predetermined time, and then returns to the standby state display in step 801. Here, the predetermined time is set according to the installation location of the gate terminal. For example, in the gate terminal installed in the ticket gate, the user frequently passes the gate, so the predetermined interval is short. Moreover, since there are few users in the gate terminal installed in a home or a waiting room, the time is also set long.
[0064]
Returning to FIG. 5, the station host server 500 periodically transmits related data to the information providing site 100 (step 725), and the information providing site 100 updates the transmitted information (step 727).

You can get information. In addition, since these pieces of information can be acquired in correspondence with the ID number stored in the user identification terminal 300, the next action is authenticated, so that a ticketless system can be obtained. . The information to be acquired can be acquired from the portable display unit 236 provided in the user identification terminal 300, the gate display unit 411 of the gate terminal 400, or both, depending on the type of the user identification terminal 300. .
[0074]
In this embodiment, it has been described that the mobile phone 320 acquires information from the gate terminal 400, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the information to be acquired may be acquired from the terminal communication unit 323 via a network. In this case, it is efficient to obtain the information from the information providing site 100 from the base-specific information DB 106 copied to the station host server.
[0075]
In addition, when the mobile phone 320 or the card 350 acquires information from the gate terminal 400, the gate terminal 400 is directly connected to the network 10, and the information providing server does not pass through the sub information providing server (station host server) 500. It can also be configured to obtain information from 100. In this case, the sub information providing server 500 may be omitted.
[0076]
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the information providing site 100 generates the base-specific information shown in FIG. 4 from the schedule database 101 and the action history database 102, but this information does not necessarily have to be generated in advance. . When any of the gate terminals is accessed by the mobile phone 320 or the card 350, the information providing site 100 detects schedule data and action history data corresponding to the ID number, and there is an access based on these data. The site-specific information suitable for the gate terminal may be generated and displayed on the mobile phone display unit 326 or the gate terminal display unit 411. According to this method, the information providing site 100 and the sub information providing server (station host server) 500 do not need to be provided with the base-specific information database, and a simple system can be obtained.
