Description

  This invention is a station service device such as an automatic ticket gate, a payment machine, a clerk terminal, etc. installed at a station such as a railway, and whether or not the processing related to the fare adjustment for a user entering from the station is properly performed. And a server device applied to the station service system.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a station such as a railroad, processing (settlement processing) related to fare settlement for users participating from the station is performed by station equipment such as an automatic ticket gate, a settlement machine, and a staff terminal. In order to perform this checkout process, it is necessary to identify the current use section of this user, that is, the section between the boarding station and the getting-off station, and calculate the fare for this section for the user participating from the station. The station service device reads the ticket information from the ticket held by the user who participates from the station. The ticket information varies depending on the type of ticket held by the user, ticket, commuter pass, prepaid ticket, compound ticket of commuter pass and prepaid ticket (hereinafter simply referred to as compound ticket), etc. The ticket information includes information indicating the station where the user entered in the current use of the railway, that is, the boarding station. An automatic ticket gate that processes users entering a station writes information indicating the station where the device is installed in a ticket held by the user who has permitted entry. Based on the information written in the ticket by the automatic ticket gate, it is possible to determine the boarding station of the user who owns the ticket. In addition, when a ticket is issued at a ticket vending machine, the station where the ticket vending machine is installed is also written as the issuing station. When the station service device performs the checkout process, the station where the user who gets out of the station gets off is regarded as the station where the device is installed. The station service device stores the station where the device is installed.

  Further, the station service device stores a fare table in which the fare between the two stations is associated with each other between the two stations. The station service device uses this fare table to calculate the fare for the current usage section of the user who enters from the station. In the calculation of the fare, if the regular section of the user is included in the current use section, the fare is calculated for the section excluding the regular section. The station service device calculates the fare for the user participating from the station based on the fare calculated in this way. The fare is settled by updating the remaining amount stored in the prepaid ticket or paying cash by the user.

By the way, if the fare for the current usage section of the user participating from the station is erroneously calculated in the above-mentioned payment processing of the station service device, there is a difference between the fare collected from the user and the appropriate fare. Arise. In particular, collecting fares more than necessary from the user not only inconveniences the user but also causes a serious problem of reducing the user's trust. Therefore, when a hardware malfunction occurs in the control board that calculates the fare for the current usage section of the user, improper settlement processing is performed with the wrong fare calculated under the influence of this malfunction. There has been proposed a station service device that prevents the situation (see Patent Document 1). This patent document 1 is provided with two control boards for calculating the fare for the current usage section of the user participating from the station in the station service device, and the fare for the current usage section of the user is individually determined by the two control boards. If the calculated two fares do not match, the settlement process is stopped and an error process is performed.
JP 2004-185210 A

  In recent years, however, electric railway companies have entered each other, and a transportation system has been developed that allows users to connect to trains of different electric railway companies without having to leave the station. In addition, due to the development of the railway network, there is not a single boarding route assumed for the use section, and the fare of the use section may differ depending on the boarding route. In addition, it has become necessary to perform settlement using a plurality of types of tickets (such as tickets, commuter passes, and prepaid cards) as necessary. Normally, in the fare settlement process in station equipment, the fare is the cheapest in the route that is assumed for the section of use in order to prevent users from collecting fares more than necessary. The route is the boarding route used by the user this time.

  For this reason, bugs may rarely be found even if the operation of the program that performs the fare adjustment process for users entering from the station is fully checked before being installed in the station service device. There was a case where the program was installed in the station service device in a state where there was a bug and the operation of this program was started. If the program is started in a buggy state, users who enter from the station may pay off with an incorrect fare. Therefore, it is necessary to find and fix the bug as soon as possible for a program that has started operation in the presence of a bug. On the other hand, in the conventional system, it has not been actively confirmed whether there is a bug in the program that has started operation. For this reason, the period from the start of program operation to the discovery of bugs may be long. As a result, there is a problem that damage is caused to a great number of users and the trust of the users is greatly reduced.

  In Patent Document 1, there is no proposal for quickly finding a bug in a program that has started operation in a buggy state.

  The object of the present invention is to quickly detect a bug when a program for carrying out a fare settlement process is started in the presence of a bug, thereby suppressing annoyance to the user and increasing the trust of the user. An object of the present invention is to provide a station service system that sufficiently prevents the deterioration and a server device applied to the station service system.

  The station service system of the present invention has the following configuration (1) in order to solve the above problems. Further, one or more of the following configurations (2) to (5) may be added to the configuration (1).

(1) A station service device that is installed in a station and performs processing related to the fare adjustment for users who enter from the station, and the fare adjustment that this station service device performs for users who enter the station. A station system that verifies whether or not such processing is appropriate,
The station service device is a ticket information reading means for reading ticket information from a ticket possessed by a user,
First using the ticket information read from the ticket by the ticket information reading means to identify the current section of use for the user who possesses the ticket and calculate the fare for the identified section Fare calculation means,
Based on the fare calculated by the first fare calculating means, the ticket information reading means performs a process related to the fare adjustment for the user who has the ticket that has read the current ticket information;
The verification target that generates and outputs the verification target information including the fare calculated by the first fare calculation means, the ticket information used to calculate the fare, and the use section specified by using the ticket information An information output means,
The server device is a verification target information acquisition unit that acquires the verification target information output by the verification target information output unit of the station service device;
For each verification target information acquired by the verification target information acquisition means, using the ticket information included in the verification target information, the fare for the use section included in the verification target information Second fare calculating means for calculating with a logic different from the first fare calculating means of
It is determined whether the fare calculated by the second fare calculating means and the fare included in the verification target information used by the second fare calculating means for the calculation of the current fare are the same. A determination means;
When the determination unit determines that they do not match, the second fare calculation unit generates verification result information including the verification target information used for the calculation of the current fare and the calculated fare, and outputs the verification result information Information output means.

  In this configuration, station ticketing devices such as automatic ticket gates, checkout machines, clerk terminals, etc. are used by passengers who enter the station (for example, tickets, commuter passes, prepaid tickets, commuter passes and prepaid tickets combined) ) To read the ticket information and specify the current use section of this user. In addition, for the use section specified here, the fare for the user is calculated using the ticket information read from the ticket, and the processing related to the fare settlement (settlement processing) is performed based on the calculated fare. . The fare is settled by updating the remaining amount stored in the prepaid ticket or paying cash by the user. Furthermore, the verification information including the ticket information of the ticket possessed by the user who has performed the settlement process by the station service device, the use section specified at this time, and the calculated fare is generated and output.

  On the other hand, a server apparatus acquires the verification object information output from the station service apparatus. The server device calculates, for each piece of verification target information, the fare for the use section included in the verification target information using the ticket information included in the verification target information. The server device calculates the fare with a logic different from that of the station service device. For example, the station service device calculates a fare with a logic that uses a fare table between two stations in which the fare between the two stations is associated with each other between the two stations so that the user can enter the station smoothly. . On the other hand, for every two stations, the server device calculates a fare by a logic using a distance table between two stations in which the distance between the two stations is registered and a distance fare table in which the distance and the fare are associated with each other. The server device determines whether or not the calculated fare and the fare included in the verification target information used for the calculation of the fare match, and if not, the calculated fare and the fare The verification result information including the verification target information used for the calculation is generated and output.

  Therefore, the operator can easily find a bug in the station service device or the program for calculating the fare of the server device by checking the verification result information output from the server device. That is, it is possible to quickly find a bug in a program that has started operation in the presence of a bug. As a result, it is possible to suppress inconvenience to the user and sufficiently prevent the user's trust from being lowered.

It is means for determining whether or not the fare included in the target information matches.

  In this configuration, it is possible to confirm whether or not the fare adjustment for the user is performed on the boarding route where the fare is the lowest among the boarding routes assumed for the use section.

(3) The determination unit of the server device is configured to calculate the lowest fare among the fares calculated for each boarding route by the second fare calculation unit, and the second fare determination unit to calculate the current fare. When the fare included in the verification target information used does not match, any fare other than the lowest fare calculated this time by the second fare calculating means is the second fare calculating means. Is a means to determine whether it matches the fare included in the verification target information used for the calculation of this fare,
The output means of the server device may be any one of the fares other than the lowest fare calculated this time by the second fare calculating means, and the verification target information used by the second fare calculating means for calculating the current fare. The verification result information is output by distinguishing between the case where it matches the fare included in the case and the case where it does not match.

  In this configuration, whether there is a bug in the process of identifying the user's boarding route or whether there is a bug in the process of calculating the fare for the specified boarding route can be output separately. It is possible to reduce the labor of the operator for confirmation.

(4) The server device includes storage means for accumulatively storing the verification target information acquired by the verification target information acquisition means,
Control means for executing the second fare calculation means, the determination means, and the verification result information output means for each verification object information stored in the storage means at a predetermined timing; I have.

  In this configuration, it is possible to verify whether or not the processing related to the fare settlement for the user performed by the station service device in the server device is appropriate at night when the train is not operated.

(5) The payment means of the station service device uses the first fare calculation means to calculate the remaining amount information stored in the ticket for the ticket for which the ticket information reading means has read the current ticket information. A means of updating based on the calculated fare,
When the server device determines that the determination means do not match, if the fare included in the relevant verification target information is greater than the fare calculated by the second fare calculation means, the station Refund instruction means for instructing the service device to refund the difference to the corresponding ticket.

  In this configuration, the difference can be refunded to the user who has settled for the wrong fare.

  According to the present invention, since a bug that has been started in a buggy state can be found immediately, annoying the user can be suppressed, and the user's trust can be sufficiently reduced. Can be prevented.

As is well known, if an automatic ticket gate 1 for admission processing has a proper ticket for a user entering the station, the boarding station (automatic ticket gate 1 for admission processing) Station) and the date and time of admission are written as ticket information.

  The ticket vending machine writes and issues the issuing station, issue date / time, issue amount, etc., so there is no need for the automatic ticket gate 1 for entry processing to write the boarding station or the entry date / time.

The automatic ticket gate 1 for entry processing determines whether or not the ticket possessed by the user is a ticket (prepaid ticket or compound ticket) that can be settled from the ticket information read from the ticket in s1. Determine (s2). If the ticket checker 1 determines that the ticket cannot be settled in s2 (Kip, commuter pass, checkout ticket, etc.), it permits the user to enter the station using the ticket information read in s1. It is determined whether or not to perform (s3). For example, in s3, if the ticket possessed by the user is a ticket, it is first determined whether or not the ticket is valid, that is, within the valid period. Read the fare for the section between this ticket issuing station and the station where the device is installed from the fare table between the two stations, and if the read fare is less than the issued price of this ticket, It is determined that participation is permitted. Also, if the ticket that the user has is a commuter pass, it is determined whether this commuter pass is valid, that is, within the valid period. If it is valid, the user If the current use section is within the regular section, it is determined that the user's participation from the station is permitted. If it is a check-in ticket, it is determined whether this check-in ticket is valid, and if it is valid, it is a user if it is issued at the check-in machine 3 at the station where the device is installed. It is determined that participation from no station is permitted.

  When it is determined that entry is permitted in s3, the automatic ticket gate 1 opens a door provided on the exit side of the passage (s4). At this time, the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether or not it is necessary to return the ticket to the user if a magnetic ticket is inserted in the main body when allowing the user to pass through the passage. The magnetic ticket (commuter pass) is discharged to the outlet, and if it is not necessary, the magnetic ticket (kip, checkout ticket) is collected in a collection box inside the main body. At this time, the automatic ticket gate 1 writes entry information for the ticket to be returned to the user. Conversely, if it is determined that entry is not permitted in s3, the door provided on the exit side of the passage is closed (s5). Further, when the automatic ticket checker 1 prohibits the passage of the user in the passage, if the magnetic ticket is inserted in the apparatus main body, the automatic ticket checker 1 discharges the magnetic ticket to the outlet and returns it to the user.

  If the automatic ticket gate 1 determines in s2 that the ticket possessed by the user is a boarding ticket (prepaid ticket or compound ticket) that can be settled, it performs the settlement process shown in FIG. 9 (s6). . First, the automatic ticket gate 1 determines the station (boarding station) where the user has entered this time from the ticket information read in s1 (s11). In the boarding ticket, information indicating the boarding station is written as boarding ticket information by the automatic ticket gate 1 for entrance processing used when the user enters the station. The automatic ticket gate 1 identifies the section between the boarding station determined in s11 and the station where the own apparatus is installed as the current use section of the user (s12). The automatic ticket gate 1 calculates a fare for the use section specified in s12 (s13). In s13, if the ticket possessed by the user is a prepaid ticket, the fare for the use section specified in s12 is calculated using the fare table between two stations. On the other hand, if the ticket owned by the user is a commuter pass, the boarding route of the user is estimated, and the fare table between two stations is calculated for the section obtained by excluding the valid period from the estimated boarding route. To calculate the fare.

  After calculating the fare for the user in s13, the automatic ticket checker 1 determines whether the payment is possible (s14). In s14, if the prepaid balance of the ticket possessed by the user is equal to or less than the fare calculated in s13, it is determined that payment is possible, and if it is less than the fare calculated in s13, it is determined that payment is not possible. When it is determined that the ticket can be settled in s14, the automatic ticket checker 1 reduces the prepaid balance by the fare calculated in s13 or updates the ticket information in which the entry information is written. At the same time (s15), the ticket information read from the ticket at s1, the usage section specified at s12, and the fare calculated at s13 are generated and stored in the storage unit of the control unit 11 (s16). . On the other hand, if it is determined in s14 that payment is not possible, the process ends without performing the processes in s15 and s16.

  When the automatic ticket checker 1 completes the payment process for s6 (the payment process shown in FIG. 9), it determines whether the payment process has been performed (s7). If the payment process has been performed, it is provided at the exit side of the passage. The opened door is opened (s8), and the user is allowed to enter the station. On the other hand, if the checkout process is not performed, the door provided on the exit side of the passage is closed (s9), and the user is prohibited from entering the station.

  The automatic ticket checker 1 generates entry process data including the ticket information read from the ticket at s1 even when the user is allowed to pass without performing the checkout process according to s6, and the control unit 11 It is stored in the storage unit.

  When the automatic ticket checker 1 reaches an appropriate timing, for example, when the predetermined time or the number of processing data stored in the storage unit of the control unit 11 reaches a predetermined number, The settlement processing data related to the settlement processing stored in the storage unit and the entry processing data are transmitted from the communication unit 16 to the monitoring panel 4. Further, the processing data transmitted to the monitoring panel 4 is deleted from the storage unit of the control unit 11. The monitoring panel 4 temporarily stores the processing data transmitted from the automatic ticket checker 1, but transmits it to the station server 5 at an appropriate timing and deletes the processing data transmitted to the station server 5.

  Next, the settlement process in the settlement machine 2 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a settlement process in the settlement machine. The checkout machine 2 reads the ticket information from the ticket held by the user (s21). The checkout machine 2 determines the station (boarding station) where this user entered this time from the ticket information read in s21 (s22), and the section between this boarding station and the station where the device is installed Is identified as the current use section of this user (s23). As described above, the ticket information includes information indicating the station (boarding station) where the user has entered this time. Further, the checkout machine 2 stores the station where the own apparatus is installed in the control unit 21. The checkout machine 2 calculates the fare for the use section specified in s23 (s24). In s24, similarly to the automatic ticket gate 1 described above, the fare for the use section specified in s23 is calculated using the fare table between two stations. The settlement machine 2 calculates the settlement amount based on the fare calculated in s24 (s25), and requests the user to input the settlement amount calculated here (s26). In s25, if the ticket inserted by the user is a ticket, an amount obtained by subtracting the issued amount of the ticket from the fare for the usage section calculated in s24 is calculated as a settlement amount. In s26, the settlement amount is displayed on the display unit 24 to inform the user of the amount to be input.

  The checkout machine 2 discriminates the banknotes and coins inserted by the user into the main body one by one in the cash processing unit 25, and when the total amount of the inserted banknotes and coins exceeds the amount requested by the user in s26 ( In step s27, the ticket issuing unit 26 issues a checkout ticket and releases change as necessary (s28). The user can pass through the passage of the automatic ticket checker 1 using the issued ticket. The settlement machine 2 generates settlement processing data including the ticket information read from the ticket in s21, the use section specified in s23, and the fare calculated in s24, and stores it in the storage unit of the control unit 21 (s29).

  The checkout machine 2 collects the ticket when the ticket is inserted, and returns it to the user when the ticket is not a ticket. The checkout machine 2 also writes the current entry information and the like on the ticket returned to the user.

  Similarly to the automatic ticket gate 1 described above, the checkout machine 2 also has a predetermined number of predetermined times or the number of processing data stored in the storage unit of the control unit 21 at an appropriate timing. When the value reaches, the settlement processing data relating to the settlement processing stored in the storage unit of the control unit 21 is transmitted from the communication unit 27 to the station server 5.

  Moreover, the settlement process in the clerk terminal 3 is substantially the same as the process of the above-described settlement machine 2, but the clerk receives cash for the fare settlement from the user, and does not issue a settlement ticket. It is different in that a user is allowed to enter from a station using a staff passage. When the clerk terminal 3 performs the settlement process for the user, the clerk terminal 3 generates the settlement process data including the ticket information of the ticket possessed by the user, the use section of the user, and the calculated fare, and the control unit 31. Is stored in the storage unit. When an appropriate timing is reached, for example, when a predetermined time or the number of processing data stored in the storage unit of the control unit 31 reaches a predetermined number, the data is stored in the storage unit of the control unit 31. The settlement process data relating to the settlement process being performed is transmitted from the communication unit 35 to the station server 5. The staff terminal 3 transmits not only the processing data related to the settlement process but also the processing data related to other types of processing to the station server 5.

  As described above, the station server 5 aggregates the processing data relating to the settlement processing performed in the automatic ticket gate 1, the settlement machine 2, the attendant terminal 3, and the like, and the processing data relating to other types of processing. The station server 5 classifies and stores the processing data according to the type of processing. Further, the station server 5 transmits the collected processing data to the server device 6 at the center at an appropriate timing. Therefore, in the server device 6 of the center, the processing data of the station service processing executed by the station service device of each station is totaled. In other words, the server device 6 can acquire and aggregate the processing data of the station service processing executed by the station service device of each station. The server device 6 of the center classifies the processing data transmitted from the station service device according to the type of processing and stores it in the storage unit 63.

  In addition, the process data concerning the settlement process in each station service device corresponds to the verification target information referred to in the present invention.

  Next, a verification process in which the center server apparatus 6 verifies whether the settlement process performed by each station service apparatus is appropriate will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a verification process in the server device of the station service system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The server device 6 performs this verification process at night or the like when the railway is not operating. The server device 6 reads out one piece of processing data related to the payment processing performed in the station service device stored in the storage unit 63 (s31). The server device 6 calculates a fare for the use section included in the processing data of the settlement process read out in s31 (s32). In s32, first, a predetermined number, for example, five boarding routes are estimated for this use section. For example, a predetermined number of boarding routes are estimated in order from a boarding route with few transfers. At this time, a boarding route using a railway operated by a plurality of railway companies may be estimated. The server device 6 calculates the fare for each estimated boarding route using the distance table between the two stations and the distance fare table. In addition, if it is a boarding route using a railway operated by a plurality of railway companies, the boarding route is divided for each railway company, and the distance table between the two stations of the railway company and the distance fare table corresponding to each divided section are provided. The fare is calculated using this, and the total is calculated as the fare for this boarding route. In this way, the server device 6 calculates the fare for the use section with a different logic from the station service devices (automatic ticket checker 1, checkout machine 2, clerk terminal 3) installed at each station.

  The server device 1 determines whether or not the lowest fare with the lowest amount of the fare in the usage section calculated in s32 matches the fare included in the processing data read in s31 ( s33). If the server device 6 determines that they match in s33, the server device 6 determines that the checkout process corresponding to the verification target information is being properly executed, and whether there is unprocessed verification target information in the storage unit 63. Is determined (s34). If there is unprocessed verification target information, the server device 6 returns to s31 and repeats the above processing.

  On the other hand, if the server device 6 determines that it does not coincide with the lowest fare in s33, it determines whether or not the amount of money that matches the settlement amount read in s31 is in the fare calculated in s32 (s35). If it is determined that there is a matching amount in s35, the server device 6 determines that the verification target information has a match, and stores verification result information for this verification target information in the storage unit 63 (s36). The verification result information for the verification target information with the matching includes the corresponding verification target information, all the boarding routes estimated in s32, and the fare calculated for each boarding route. If the server device 6 determines that there is no matching amount in s35, the server device 6 determines that the verification target information does not match, and stores verification result information for the verification target information in the storage unit 63 (s37). This mismatched verification target information also includes the corresponding verification target information, all the boarding routes estimated in s32, and the fare calculated for each boarding route. The server device 6 distinguishes and stores the verification result information for the verification target information with matching and the verification result information for the verification target information with no matching in the storage unit 63. When the server device 6 completes the process related to s36 or s37, the server apparatus 6 determines whether there is unprocessed verification target information in the storage unit 63 in s34, and if there is unprocessed verification target information, returns to s31 and performs the above processing. repeat.

  The server device 6 verifies whether or not the settlement processing performed at the station service device at each station has been properly performed one by one by repeating the processing of s31 to s37. When determining that there is no unprocessed verification target information in the storage unit 63 in s34, the server device 6 stores the verification result information for the matching verification target information stored in the storage unit 63 in s36 and the storage unit 63 in s37. The verification result information for the verification target information with no match is distinguished from the verification result information and output from the output unit 65 (s38), and this process is terminated. The output according to s38 may be a print output to a printing apparatus or a display output to a display apparatus.

  In this way, the server device 6 determines that the fare adjustment processing fare for the user performed by the station service equipment installed at each station does not match the lowest fare calculated again by the own device. The verification result information including the ticket information used in the above, the use section, the fare calculated by the station service device, a plurality of boarding routes estimated by the own device, and the fare for each boarding route is output. Therefore, the operator confirms the verification result information output by the server device 6 in s38, so that there is a bug in the logic for calculating the fare on the station service device side, or the logic for calculating the fare on the server device 6 side. Can determine if there is a bug. Therefore, even for a program that is installed in a station service device in a state where there is a bug and has started to operate, the bug can be detected and corrected immediately, causing inconvenience to users and lowering user trust. Is sufficiently suppressed.

  In addition, since the station service device and the server device 6 have different logics for calculating the fare for the use section, if there is a bug in one of the logics, the bug can be found with certainty. In addition, since the verification result information for the verification target information with matching and the verification result information for the verification target information with no matching are output separately, a bug in the station administration device or the logic of the server device 6 is confirmed. The operator's work can be performed efficiently. Usually, for verification result information for matching target information, it is considered that there is a bug in the process of specifying the boarding route in the checkout process or there is an error in the fare table between two stations. When confirming the verification result information for, the operator can reduce the time and effort required to find a bug by focusing on this point. Further, the server device 6 performs the verification process at night or the like when the railway is not operated, so that the verification process does not affect the process during the operation of the railway.

  In addition, since the commuter pass, prepaid ticket, and compound ticket include identification information in the ticket information, a database in which the identification information of the ticket is associated with the personal information of the user is stored in the server device 6. It may be provided. In this way, in the verification process described above, a user who has found that he / she collects fares more than necessary during the checkout process is performing the checkout process using a commuter pass, prepaid ticket or compound ticket. Then, users who collect fares more than necessary can be identified by searching the database. Therefore, the difference can be refunded to a user who collects fares more than necessary. Further, in this case, the verification result information output in s38 may be output by including personal information specifying the user.

  In addition, if a user who has collected fares more than necessary during the settlement process has been performing settlement with a prepaid ticket or a compound ticket, the station service device will collect the fares collected more than necessary. You may make it perform the recovery process which refunds automatically to a ticket or a compound ticket. Specifically, the fare collected more than necessary by the operation unit 64 of the server device 6 for the user who confirmed that the operator confirmed the verification result information output in s38 and collected the fare more than necessary. Perform the input operation related to refund. The operator inputs the identification information of the ticket held by the user who collects the fare more than necessary and the amount to be refunded to the user to the server device 6.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a fare refund process in the server device, and FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a fare refund process in the station service device. The server device 6 waits for an operator to perform an input operation related to the fare refund for the user in the operation unit 64 or a notification regarding the completion of the fare refund from the station service device (s61, s62). When the operator performs an input operation for refunding the fare for the user in the operation unit 64, the server device 6 receives the identification information of the ticket entered this time and the amount to be refunded from the communication unit 62 to the station server of each station. 5 is notified (s63). The processing relating to s63 corresponds to refund instruction means referred to in the present invention.

  When the server server 5 receives a notification related to the fare refund to the user from the server device 6, the station server 5 notifies this notification to each of the station service devices such as the automatic ticket gate 1, the checkout machine 2, and the staff terminal 3. When the station service device receives a notification about the fare refund for the user transmitted via the station server 5 (s71), the station service device stores the notification in the control units 11, 21, and 31 (s72). Further, when the station service device performs some processing such as the above-described settlement processing on the ticket possessed by the user (s73), the identification information of the ticket to be processed this time is sent to the control units 11, 21, and 31. It is determined whether or not the stored fare is stored as identification information of a ticket to be refunded (s74). When determining that the identification information of the ticket to be processed this time in s74 is not stored as the identification information of the ticket for which the fare is refunded, the station service device starts the current processing for this ticket (s75). Conversely, if it is determined in s74 that the identification information of the ticket to be processed this time is stored as the identification information of the ticket for which the fare is refunded, the prepaid balance of this ticket is stored in the control units 11, 21, 31. The amount of money that is refunded to this ticket is updated to the amount added (s76), and then the current processing for this ticket is started in s75. The process started in s75 is the above-described entry process of the automatic ticket checker 1, the checkout process of the checkout machine 2, and the like.

  Thereby, it is possible to promptly refund the fare collected more than necessary to the user who collected the fare more than necessary during the settlement process in the station service device. Further, since the fare collected more than necessary is refunded when the user uses the station service device, the user is not required to take any special action for the refund. In addition, a fare collected more than necessary can be refunded to a user who has not noticed that the fare was collected more than necessary.

  When the station affairs device performs processing related to the refund of the fare for the ticket in s76, the station service device transmits a refund completion notice including the identification information of the ticket for which the fare has been refunded to the server device 6 via the station server 5 (s77). ). Further, the station service device deletes the identification information of the ticket that refunded the current fare from the list of tickets that are stored in the control units 11, 21, and 31 that refund the fare collected more than necessary (s78). ). In addition, when the station server transmits a refund completion notification to the server device 6, the station server transfers the refund completion notification to each station service device connected to the own device. When each station apparatus receives the refund completion notice, the station corresponding to the refund completion notice received this time is stored from the list of tickets stored in the control units 11, 21, and 31 that refund the fares collected more than necessary. The ticket identification information is deleted (s79, s80).

  In addition, about the station service apparatus which performed the process concerning the refund of the fare with respect to a ticket at s76 this time, the identification information of the applicable ticket has already been stored in the control units 11, 21, and 31. Since it is deleted from the list of tickets for refunding the fare, no special processing is performed for this notification.

  Further, when receiving the refund completion notification transmitted via the station server 5, the server device 6 notifies the station server 5 of each station of the refund completion notification received this time (s64). The station server 5 at each station transfers the refund completion notification notified from the server device 6 to each station service device connected to the own device in substantially real time. As described above, when each station apparatus receives a refund completion notice, the refund completion received this time from the list of tickets stored in the control units 11, 21, and 31 that refund fare collected more than necessary. The ticket identification information corresponding to the notification is deleted.

  In this way, the refund completion notice is notified to the station service device of each station in substantially real time, so the process of refunding fares collected more than necessary for the same ticket is repeated many times. Does not occur.

  Here, after the station service device refunds the fare collected more than necessary to the ticket, the current processing is started for this ticket, but this processing is performed for the ticket. After you go, you may be able to refund the fares collected more than necessary.
