Description

  The present invention relates to a boarding information notification system and a notification method thereof, and more particularly to a boarding information notification system and a notification method thereof for transmitting train boarding information to a ticket gate device via a communication network.

  As an example of a conventional notification technique for boarding information in trains, a technique for calculating the number of passengers and the boarding rate from the vehicle weight has been proposed, and has been put to practical use as a TIMS (Train Information Management System) in JR East railway companies. There are also things.

  In addition, a boarding rate information presentation system (see Patent Document 1) that displays a boarding rate of a train arriving at a home, or a congestion status notification system that displays information on a large screen display device or the like (see Patent Document 2). ) Etc. have been proposed.

  FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an example of a change in the train boarding rate. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the vehicle occupancy rate. The figure shows that the boarding rate when the train arrives at the station is 71, the boarding rate changes from when the train arrives at the platform until it departs, the lowest boarding rate is 72, and the boarding rate at the time of departure is 73. The case is shown. Thus, the boarding rate when the train arrives at the platform is generally different from the boarding rate when the train departs.

  The information distribution control unit 23 checks the presence / absence of data in the operation information notification signal 1000 received from the data reception unit 22, and if there is operation information notification data, the data transmission unit 21 displays the operation information notification signal 1000 shown in FIG. A similar operation information display signal 1010 is transmitted.

Step A14 in FIG. 8:
The data transmission unit 2 transmits an operation information display signal 1010 from the information distribution control unit 23 to the ticket gate apparatus 1 via the communication network 2.

  The ticket gate device 1 receives the operation information display signal 1010 from the information distribution server 3 by the data receiving unit 12 in the ticket gate device 1 and transmits it to the ticket gate device control unit 13.

  The ticket gate control unit 13 transmits an operation information display signal 1010 from the data receiving unit 12 to the information display unit 14.

  The information display unit 14 edits the operation information display signal 1010 from the ticket gate control unit 13 as shown in FIG. 26 and displays it to the user passing through the ticket gate device 1.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of operation information displayed on the ticket gate apparatus 1. Referring to the figure, information indicating that the train scheduled to board the current driving is displayed on the information display unit 14.
