Description

  The present invention relates to a ticket gate installed at a station such as a railway. The present invention also relates to a ticket gate system capable of communicating between a plurality of ticket gates via a monitoring device or the like. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a ticket gate processing method using such a ticket gate.

  In recent years, automatic ticket gates have been installed at stations for transportation such as railways in order to reduce the burden on station staff. The automatic ticket gate reads the magnetic information recorded on the inserted ticket, determines whether entry or exit is possible based on the read magnetic information, and controls the passage (entrance / exit) of passers-by on the ticket gate based on the determination result To do. Alternatively, the automatic ticket gate communicates with the wireless ticket, reads the information, determines whether entry is possible based on the read information, and controls the passage (entrance / exit) of passers-by on the ticket gate based on the determination result To do.

  The automatic ticket gates mentioned above include a one-way dedicated machine that can control only one direction of passers-by (either entry or exit) and both directions of passers-by (both entrance and exit). ) Can be controlled. In the case of a dual-purpose machine, the station staff can switch to the entrance ticket gate mode or the entrance ticket gate mode (equivalent to a one-way dedicated machine) by checking the time zone and the number of visitors. When the entrance ticket gate mode is set in the dual-purpose machine, only the traffic from the entrance side is controlled, and the entry side is prohibited (entry prohibition is guided). On the other hand, when the entry ticket gate mode is set in the dual-purpose machine, only the traffic from the entry side is controlled, and entry is prohibited from the entrance side (entry prohibition is guided).

  In this way, the switching of the ticket gate mode in the dual-use machine is left to the station staff, and the burden on the station staff is not small. Also, depending on the time of day, visitors may greatly exceed the participants, or conversely, the participants may greatly exceed the visitors. Even at such a timing, in order to alleviate the congestion of the ticket gates, the station staff needs to appropriately switch the ticket gate mode in the dual-purpose machine.

In such a background, a technique has been proposed in which entrance / exit data for each time zone is collected and the ticket gate mode is automatically switched based on the entrance / exit data for each time zone (see Patent Document 1).

When permitting a ticket gate, the doors 105 and 115 remain open, and, for example, a message indicating that a ticket gate is permitted is displayed on the upper surface display unit 114. When the ticket gate is not permitted, the door 115 is closed and, for example, a message indicating that the ticket gate is not permitted is displayed on the upper surface display unit 114. When it is detected that the passer-by has gone out of the ticket gate, the closed door 115 is opened.

  When the entrance ticket gate mode is executed by the main control unit 120 of the automatic ticket gate 1, the shutter of the receiving port 101 is opened, the shutter of the receiving port 111 is closed, and a polling signal is output from the antenna 103, and polling is performed from the antenna 113. No signal is output. Further, the door 105 is opened and the door 115 is closed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the side display unit 106 displays that the entry is permitted, and as shown in FIG. 3, the side display unit 116 displays that the entry is prohibited. In other words, while the entrance ticket gate mode is being executed, passers-by from one end of the ticket gate passage formed between the automatic ticket gates 1 to the other end (traffic from entrance to entrance (entrance)) is Although accepted, passers-by from one end of the ticket gate to the other (passage from the entrance side to the exit side (participation)) is prohibited.

  When this entrance ticket gate mode is executed, if a magnetic ticket or a wireless IC card is presented at one end (entrance side) of the ticket gate, that is, the magnetic ticket is inserted into the receiving port 101 or the wireless IC card is inserted into the antenna 103. Then, the magnetic ticket inserted into the receiving port 101 is transported by the receiving unit 122 and supplied to the magnetic processing unit 123 while the passage (participation) from the other end to the one end of the ticket gate passage is prohibited. The boarding information recorded on the magnetic ticket is read by the magnetic processing unit 123. Alternatively, information on the wireless IC card that is trapped by the antenna 103 is read by the wireless reader / writer 129 via the antenna 103. The determination unit 126 determines whether or not a ticket gate is permitted (entrance is permitted or not) based on the boarding information read from the magnetic ticket or the boarding information read from the wireless IC card. When permitting the ticket gate, the door 115 is opened, and for example, the upper surface display unit 104 displays that the ticket gate is permitted. When the ticket gate is not permitted, the door 115 remains closed and, for example, the upper surface display unit 104 displays that the ticket gate is not permitted.

  When the entrance ticket gate mode is executed by the main control unit 120 of the automatic ticket gate 1, the shutter of the receiving port 111 is opened, the shutter of the receiving port 101 is closed, and a polling signal is output from the antenna 113, and polling is performed from the antenna 103.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the side display unit 116 displays that the entry is permitted, and as shown in FIG. 3, the side display unit 106 displays that the entry is prohibited. In other words, while the entrance ticket gate mode is being executed, passers-by from the other end of the ticket gate passage formed between the automatic ticket gates 1 to one end (traffic from the entrance side to the exit side (participation)) Although accepted, passers-by from one end of the ticket gate to the other (passage from the entrance side to the entrance side (entrance)) is prohibited.

  When the entry ticket gate mode is executed, if a magnetic ticket or a wireless IC card is presented at the other end (entrance side) of the ticket gate, that is, the magnetic ticket is inserted into the receiving slot 111 or the wireless IC card is inserted into the antenna 113. If the ticket is defeated, the passage (entrance) from one end to the other end of the ticket gate passage is prohibited, and the magnetic ticket inserted into the receiving port 111 is conveyed by the receiving unit 122 and supplied to the magnetic processing unit 123. . The boarding information recorded on the magnetic ticket is read by the magnetic processing unit 123. Alternatively, information on the wireless IC card that is trapped on the antenna 113 is read by the wireless reader / writer 129 via the antenna 113. The determination unit 126 determines whether or not a ticket gate is permitted (entrance is permitted or not) based on the boarding information read from the magnetic ticket or the boarding information read from the wireless IC card. When permitting the ticket gate, the door 105 is opened, and for example, the upper surface display unit 114 displays that the ticket gate is permitted. If the ticket gate is not permitted, the door 105 remains closed and, for example, the upper surface display unit 114 displays that the ticket gate is not permitted.

  Next, the ticket gate mode switching control will be described. A description will be given of a continuous ticket gate process which is a determination criterion for ticket gate mode switching. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, there are two determination methods for the continuous ticket gate processing.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the total processing time by repeating a series of ticket gate processing (ticket gate processing for one passer-by) less than a first time interval (for example, less than 2 seconds) is a second time (for example, 10 seconds). ), The main control unit 120 determines that the continuous ticket gate processing is being executed.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6, when the number of a series of ticket gate processing (ticket gate processing for one passer) per unit time (for example, 1 minute) exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 15 times), the main control unit 120 continues. It is determined that the ticket gate processing is being executed.

  The main control unit 120 performs the above-described continuous during the entrance ticket gate processing (the ticket gate processing based on the magnetic ticket received from the receiving port 101 or the ticket gate processing based on the wireless IC card communicated via the antenna 103) when the entrance / exit ticket gate mode is executed. When the ticket gate process is detected, the entry ticket gate process is stopped for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) longer than a series of ticket gate processing times (the shutter of the receiving port 111 is closed for a predetermined time, and the output of the polling signal from the antenna 113 is stopped). Stop for a predetermined time) and prioritize the admission ticket gate processing for this predetermined time. Furthermore, entry prohibition is displayed on the side display unit 116 at the detection timing of the continuous ticket gate process, and the stop of the ticket gate process is guided. That is, the main control unit 120 switches the entrance / exit ticket gate mode to the entrance ticket gate mode when detecting the above-described continuous ticket gate processing during the entrance ticket gate processing when the entrance / exit ticket gate mode is executed.

  In addition, the main control unit 120 performs the above-described ticket gate processing (ticket gate processing based on a magnetic ticket received from the receiving port 111 or ticket gate processing based on a wireless IC card communicated via the antenna 113) when the entrance ticket gate mode is executed. When the continuous ticket gate processing is detected, the entrance ticket gate processing is stopped for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) longer than a series of ticket gate processing times (the shutter of the receiving port 101 is closed for a predetermined time, and the polling signal from the antenna 103 is The output is stopped for a predetermined time), and the ticket gate process is given priority over the predetermined time. Further, at the detection timing of the continuous ticket gate processing, entry prohibition is displayed on the side display unit 106, and the stop of the entrance ticket gate processing is guided. That is, the main control unit 120 switches the entrance / exit ticket gate mode to the entrance ticket gate mode when detecting the above-described continuous ticket gate process during the entrance ticket gate process when executing the entrance / exit ticket gate mode.

  Here, the ticket gate mode switching control will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, when continuous ticket gate processing is detected (ST1, YES), the entrance ticket gate mode is switched to a one-way ticket gate mode (entry ticket gate mode or entrance ticket gate mode) (ST2), and the mode return timer is set. (ST3). When a preset time (predetermined time described above) has elapsed (ST4, YES), the mode return timer is reset (ST6), and the one-way ticket gate mode is switched to the entrance / exit ticket gate mode again (ST7).

  As described above, the automatic ticket gate 1 (main control unit 120) substantially switches to the ticket gate mode when the number of participants temporarily increases during execution of the ticket gate mode, and conversely, the number of visitors temporarily increases. This effectively switches to the entrance ticket gate mode. That is, according to the increase or decrease of the flow of people, the ticket gate processing is temporarily performed only in one direction (incoming from the opposite side is prohibited). Thereby, it is possible to switch the ticket gate mode corresponding to the sudden change in the flow of people.

  Next, the ticket gate mode switching control in conjunction with a plurality of automatic ticket gates will be described. Each automatic ticket gate passes through the communication unit 130 to the monitoring device 10 for its own ticket gate processing status (whether continuous ticket gate processing of the entrance ticket gate is occurring when the entrance ticket gate processing mode is executed / entrance ticket gate processing) Whether or not a continuous ticket gate process for the ticket gate is occurring when the mode is executed). The management device 10 instructs each automatic ticket gate to switch the ticket gate mode based on the ticket processing status from each automatic ticket gate. For example, when the monitoring device 10 receives information from the automatic ticket gate 1 indicating that the continuous ticket gate processing of the entrance ticket gate is occurring when the entrance ticket gate processing mode is executed, the monitoring device 10 executes the entrance ticket gate mode for the automatic ticket gate 2. (Switching to the entrance ticket gate mode) is instructed, and the automatic ticket gate 2 is also made to support the entrance ticket gate process. In this way, by switching the ticket gate modes in cooperation with each automatic ticket gate, more efficient ticket gate processing can be performed.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to distinguish between an entrance ticket gate corner with an entrance ticket gate machine and an entrance ticket gate corner with an entrance ticket gate machine. It becomes possible to control well. In addition, there is a high possibility that the next automatic ticket gate can be used even if there is a passenger before traffic is prohibited at one automatic ticket gate (when the number of visitors is increasing rapidly, many automatic ticket gates can enter the ticket gate) This mode prevents traffic jams caused by automatic ticket gates. In addition, passengers tend to concentrate on an automatic ticket gate installed near the home, but efficient ticket gate processing corresponding to increase / decrease in visitors / participants is possible.

  In addition to the above, a train arrival home may be specified based on information read from a magnetic ticket or a wireless IC card, and the ticket gate mode of an automatic ticket gate installed near the arrival home may be controlled. (Switch the entrance ticket gate mode to the entrance ticket gate mode or switch to the entrance ticket gate mode). For example, the arrival home of the train is identified based on information read from an express ticket used for participation, and the number of participation ticket gates is predicted to increase, and an automatic ticket gate near this arrival home is switched to the participation ticket gate mode.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. In addition, the embodiments may be appropriately combined as much as possible, and in that case, the combined effect can be obtained. Further, the above embodiments include inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by appropriately combining a plurality of disclosed constituent elements. For example, even if some constituent requirements are deleted from all the constituent requirements shown in the embodiment, the problem described in the column of the problem to be solved by the invention can be solved, and the effect described in the column of the effect of the invention Can be obtained as an invention.
