A train location information system (not shown) that is acquired and managed is provided. The in-vehicle server 1 acquires a train number, stop station information, and the like from this train position information system, and from an antenna (not shown) installed in each vehicle to a non-contact IC card held by each passenger. , Send train number and stop station information. Stop station information is transmitted only once, for example, when the train arrives at the station and the door is opened, or when the open door is closed and the train reaches a predetermined speed, or at predetermined intervals. To do.

  The IC card 2 has a built-in antenna and is a communicable medium that stores ticket information such as commuter pass information and SF information. A train on which a passenger holding this IC card rides and is transmitted from the in-vehicle server 1 When a number or stop station information is received, the information is written and held. When this passenger changes to another train on the way, the train number and stop station information transmitted from the on-board server of the destination train are similarly written. In this way, the IC card 2 holds the route information actually boarded. When the IC card 2 is held over the station gate 3 at the time of participation, the station gate 3 reads the route information held by the IC card 2 and calculates and collects the fare based on the actual boarding route.

Next, an example of an actual boarding route stored in the IC card will be described with reference to FIG.
2A, route 1 and route 2 are connected at station X, route 1 and route 3 are connected at station n, route 2 and route 3 are connected at station Y, route 1 A case is assumed where a train rides from a station to n station, transfers at n station, and enters at Y station on route 3. FIG. 2B shows the contents of the memory of the IC card in which the information transmitted from the onboard server is written. That is, an entry station name X, a boarding train number m traveling on route 1 and a stop station a, b..., A transfer station n, a boarding train number n traveling on route 3 and a stop station A, B. The station name Y is written. When the IC card is held over the station gate 3 when entering at the Y station, the station gate reads the contents of FIG. 2B, and calculates and collects the fare for the route from the X station to the n station to the Y station. In addition to the stop station, the passing station name may be written on the IC card. Further, for example, only station A and station Y may be held for train number m, and station A and station Y may be stored for train number n. That is, the station on the train may be written for each train number, overwritten from the next, and the station that got off the train may be retained.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing another example of the system of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a fare collection system by the system of FIG.
As in the case of the system of FIG. 1, the on-board server 1 acquires train position information including a train number, stop station information, and the like from the train position information system, and the passenger holds the antenna from the antenna installed in each vehicle. It has a function of transmitting train number and stop station information to the contact type IC card and transmitting information held to the host computer 4. In addition, the IC card 2 of this system has a transmission function. When the train number or stop station information transmitted from the in-vehicle server 1 is received, the information is written and held, and the own information is also stored together with the held information. The ID number is transmitted to the onboard server 1. The in-vehicle server 1 has stop station information or the like written in each IC card in association with the ID number, and transmits this information to the host computer 4, so the host computer 4 has the ID number. From the corresponding stop information of each IC card, the actual boarding route for each IC card can be known, and the fare can be calculated based on the actual boarding route and withdrawn from each individual account.

Next, an example of data held by the host computer will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 (a) shows the same boarding route as in FIG. 2 (a). In the case of taking route 1 from X station to n station, changing at n station, getting to Y station by route 3 and getting off. Show. FIG. 4B shows the contents of the information held by the in-vehicle server and the host computer 4 received from the station gate. The ID number is followed by the entrance station name X, the boarding train number m traveling on the route 1, and the stop station. a, b ..., transfer station n, boarding train number n traveling on route 3, stop station A, B ... N ... The participating station Y sent to the computer 4. In this way, the host computer 4 can calculate the fare for the route from X station → n station → Y station and withdraw it from each individual account.

  In the above system, the stop station name is held together with the train number, but the passing station name may be written in addition to the stop station. Further, for example, only station A and station Y may be held for train number m, and station A and station Y may be stored for train number n. That is, the station on the train may be written for each train number, overwritten from the next, and the station that got off the train may be retained.

  In addition, although it does not connect mutually depending on a route, it may have a connection station which can transfer after having entered a station once. A connecting station is a station that treats fare calculation as a continuous ride even if you transfer at a different station. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when N station of route 3 and α station and β station of route 4 are contact stations, they enter at N station and enter at α station or β station (or α station or β station). Even if you enter the station and enter the N station), it will be treated as a continuation ride and the fare calculation will be treated as a continuation. Therefore, all the communication stations are stored in the host computer 4 of FIG. 3 as a database, and if there is a connection within a predetermined time (for example, 60 minutes) when entering or leaving the communication station, the continuous boarding is performed. Calculate the fare as

  For example, in the route of FIG. 4 (a), take the route 1 from the X station to the n station, change to the route 3 at the n station, and enter the N station of the route 3 as shown in FIG. Assume that the route 4 is connected. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the host computer 4 travels along the ID number, the station name X, the boarding train number m traveling on the route 1, the stop station a, b... It is the same that the boarding train number n and the stop stations A, B. Then, when entering at the station N of the route 3 and entering at the α station of the route 4, the contact station data stored as a database is searched, and when it is detected that the N station and the α station are mutual contact stations, It is checked whether or not the transfer time is within a predetermined time, and if it is within the predetermined time, the stop station name is recorded as a continued boarding. If the transfer time exceeds the predetermined time, the fare to the station N on the route 3 is calculated without continuing the ride. Also, when entering at station N on route 3 and entering at γ station on route 4, searching for contact station data stored as a database, and detecting that N station and γ station are not contact stations with each other, continue The fare to station N on route 3 is calculated without taking it as a ride.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing another example of the system of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a fare collection system by the system of FIG.
Since this embodiment has the same configuration as the system of FIG. 3 except that the station gate 3 is omitted and the host computer 4 determines all entrances and exits, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 8 (a) shows a boarding route similar to that shown in FIG. 4 (a). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Record. If the boarding station name is not received even when the elapsed time T exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 60 minutes), it is determined that the player has entered the station. In the example shown in the figure, the passenger gets off at the station N on the route 3 and has not received the boarding station even after the predetermined time T has elapsed. According to this embodiment, the station gate can be omitted.
