  Next, details of the present invention will be described in accordance with the description of the embodiments.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The configuration of the train accident certification system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The information management server 101 is a server capable of grasping a disorder of a diagram such as being disconnected due to an accident or the like, and can issue delay information in response to a delay information request.

(Alternative route search system)
When it is necessary to use an alternative means of transportation due to a railroad accident or the like, by passing the ticket through the automatic ticket gate 104 in the station premises 107 or scanning with the installed multifunction machine 105 or scanner, The information of the target getting-off station is transmitted to the station premises server 103, and the station premises server 103 acquires delay information from the information management server 101 and searches for an alternative transportation means. The station premises server 103 outputs the calculated alternative route to a monitor connected to the station premises server 103, the multi function device 105, or a printer.

  Here, it is conceivable that the station premises server 103 does not calculate the alternative route itself, but makes a request for calculating the alternative route to the external delay certificate issuing server 102 and receives the result. It may be the same as the server 103.

  Further, an embodiment in which an alternative path calculation request is made directly from the multi-function peripheral 105 to the external delay certificate issuing server 102 is also conceivable.

(Train accident certification system)
If a train accident certificate is required due to a railroad accident or the like, the train ticket is passed through the automatic ticket gate 104 in the station premises 107 or scanned by the multifunction machine 105 or scanner installed, and a certificate issuance request is issued. By making a request to the station premises server 103, information such as the use section and the last arrival time is transmitted to the station premises server 103, and can the station premises server 103 obtain delay information from the information management server 101 and issue a certificate? Calculate

  The station premises server 103 outputs the certificate to the multi function device 105 or the printer from the calculated result.

  Here, when the final arrival time information is not included in the ticket, it is conceivable to directly input it at the time of the certificate issuance request.

  Here, it is conceivable that the station premises server 103 makes a calculation request as to whether or not the certificate can be issued to the external delay certificate issuing server 102 without calculating the certificate issuance, and receives the result. It is also conceivable that the machine 105 itself is the same as the station premises server 103.

  Furthermore, an embodiment in which a calculation request for whether a certificate can be issued directly from the multifunction device 105 to the external delay certificate issuing server 102 is also conceivable.

(Certificate issued outside the station)
Acquiring a certificate at a congested station at the time of the occurrence of an abnormality places a burden on both station staff and passengers. Therefore, if the electric proof can be obtained at a place other than the station, the burden is eliminated.

  When a train accident certificate is required due to a railway accident or the like, after entering the company, the in-company 10 8 connected to the information management server 101, the delay certificate issuing server 102, etc. via the Internet 106 is used as the in-company LAN 109 By using a multifunction device 111 or a scanner connected to the server, and requesting a certificate issuance request from the delayed certificate issuing server 102, information such as a use section and a final arrival time is transmitted to the delayed certificate issuing server 102, The delay certificate issuing server 102 obtains delay information from the information management server 101 and calculates whether a certificate can be issued.

  The delay certificate issuing server 102 outputs the certificate to the multi-function peripheral 111 or the printer from the calculated result.

  Here, when the final arrival time information is not included in the ticket, it is conceivable to directly input it at the time of the certificate issuance request.

  Here, it is also conceivable that the multi-function peripheral 111 acquires delay information from the information management server 101, makes a calculation request as to whether a certificate can be issued, and outputs the certificate.

  In addition, the attendance management server 110 connected to the corporate LAN 109 stores the ticket data or the scanned image, so that it is possible to receive the delay certificate without scanning with the multifunction device 111. is there.

  It is also possible to set and record the final arrival time for each individual.

(Data between scanner, printer and server)
Character data, barcodes, watermarks, etc. are printed on the ticket image data read by the MFP 105 or 111, etc., so that data such as the owner / use section or the time limit for getting off at the departure station can be identified. Has been.

  In addition to converting the data into the data extracted from the usage section etc. from the image data by OCR and barcode recognition on the multifunction device side, this data is also sent to the server as it is in a general format such as TIFF, JPEG, PDF, etc. It is also possible to send data and extract data on the server side.

  As another example, it is also conceivable that information on a ticket is read and transmitted to a server by a dedicated device that reads the ticket.

As a method for transmitting each request, the image data or the extracted data is attached to the E-Mail, and the electronic certificate is also attached to the E-Mail. You can also send it to and print it, or use Fax.
Alternatively, it is possible to directly send a print job of a power certificate by incorporating a printer driver in the server 102 or 103 that issues the power certificate.

  The same applies to other file transfer methods such as Ftp and Http.

(Embed watermarks, background patterns, etc. in certificates)
A watermark, a background pattern, etc. are embedded at the time of printing as a mark indicating that the printed certificate is official.

  For example, even if a copy of a printed certificate is taken, the embedded watermark or background pattern is not copied and is not recognized as a certificate.

(Other examples)
In the above embodiment, the train is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the same embodiment can be applied to a bus, a ship, and an aircraft.

It is a figure for demonstrating the whole structure of the system which concerns on this embodiment.
