  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the operation of preventing erroneous boarding and preventing erroneous seating will be described using the erroneous boarding prevention system shown in FIG. First, the user of the mobile terminal 1 goes to the place of the ticket vending machine at the station and performs an operation of purchasing a ticket of a desired vehicle (an operation of inputting a train name, a boarding station name, a getting-off station name, etc.). In response to this, the ticket vending machine makes an inquiry to the system management server and identifies the ticket to be sold (step S1). The system management server 3 refers to the ticket information storage unit 32 to determine whether the specified ticket can be sold. If the ticket can be sold, the system management server 3 specifies the vehicle, the boarding station, the getting-off station, and the seat. Is sent to the RFID writer 4. When the user brings the mobile terminal 1 close to the RFID writer 4, the RFID writer 4 writes the ticket information transmitted from the system management server 3 into the RFID 21 (step S2). Then, the ticket vending machine performs a ticket price settlement process. As a result, the ticket information of the desired vehicle is written in the RFID 21 in the mobile terminal 1.

Next, the user of the mobile terminal 1 moves to the ticket gate and brings the mobile terminal 1a closer to the RFID reader 5 of the automatic ticket gate. The RFID reader 5 always sends a ticket information transmission request. In response to this request, the RFID 21 transmits ticket information stored therein to the RFID reader 5. In response, the RFID reader 5 reads the transmitted ticket information (step S3). Then, the automatic ticket checker determines whether or not the ticket information read by the RFID reader 5 is valid ticket information (step S4), and if it is not valid ticket information, the gate of the ticket gate is not opened. The process is terminated. On the other hand, if the ticket information is valid, the automatic ticket gate opens the gate of the ticket gate (step S5). Thereby, the user of the mobile terminal 1a can pass through the ticket gate.

  Next, the user of the mobile terminal 1a moves to the home of the vehicle to be boarded, and displays the ticket information (train name, car number, seat number) stored in the mobile terminal 1a on the display unit 13 for confirmation. To do. And it gets in from the entrance door of the vehicle which should board. Since the RFID reader 71 always sends a ticket information transmission request, when the user carrying the mobile terminal 1b that has moved to the entrance door of the vehicle tries to get on from the entrance door, the RFID 21 is transmitted by the RFID reader 71. In response to the ticket information transmission request, the ticket information stored therein is transmitted to the RFID reader 71. In response, the RFID reader 71 reads the transmitted ticket information (step S6), and notifies the control unit 63 of the read ticket information. And the control part 63 transmits an own identification number with respect to the system management server 3 via the wireless communication parts 62 and 61, and inquires vehicle information. The system management server 3 refers to the vehicle information storage unit 31, reads the vehicle information associated with the identification number of the control unit that has received the inquiry, and transmits the inquiry to the control unit (in this case, the control unit 63 This vehicle information is answered.

  Next, the control part 63 collates the vehicle information answered from the system management server 3 with the ticket information notified from the RFID reader 71, and determines whether or not the train names match (step S7). In the case of ticket information in which a seat is not specified, it is determined whether or not it is possible to get on this vehicle and get to the getting-off station defined in the ticket information. If the train names do not match as a result of the determination, the control unit 63 displays a warning (for example, “the train to be boarded is different”) on the display unit 91 (step S8), and ends the process. On the other hand, if the train names match, no warning is displayed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an erroneous boarding of a wrong vehicle (a vehicle with a completely different destination or a vehicle that does not stop at the getting-off station).

  Next, the user of the mobile terminal 1b moves to a seat to be seated. Since the RFID reader 72 always sends a ticket information transmission request, when the user carrying the mobile terminal 1c that has moved to the seat to be seated tries to sit, the RFID 21 transmits the ticket information transmitted by the RFID reader 72. In response to the request, ticket information stored therein is transmitted to the RFID reader 72. In response, the RFID reader 72 reads the transmitted ticket information (step S9), and notifies the controller 64 of the read ticket information. Then, the control unit 64 transmits its own identification number to the system management server 3 via the wireless communication units 62 and 61 to inquire about seat information. The system management server 3 refers to the vehicle information storage unit 31, reads the seat information associated with the identification number of the control unit that has received the inquiry, and transmits the inquiry to the control unit (in this case, the control unit 64 This seat information is answered.

  Next, the control unit 64 collates the seat information answered from the system management server 3 with the ticket information notified from the RFID reader 71, and determines whether or not the seat numbers match (step S10). Note that this processing is not performed for ticket information for which no seat is specified. If the seat numbers do not match as a result of this determination, the control unit 63 displays a warning (for example, “the seat to be seated is different”) on the display unit 91 (step S11), and ends the process. On the other hand, if the seat numbers match, no warning is displayed. As a result, it is possible to prevent erroneous seating in which the user is seated in the wrong seat.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the operation | movement which prevents having missed without getting off at the station which should get off with the erroneous boarding prevention system shown in FIG. 1 is demonstrated. First, the control part 64 provided in each seat acquires the information regarding a station via the wireless communication part 62 (step S21). Station information here is information on a station to be stopped next and information on a planned stop station of a vehicle currently on board. Since the RFID 72 always sends a ticket information transmission request, the RFID 21 of the mobile terminal 1c carried by the seated user is stored internally in response to the ticket information transmission request sent by the RFID reader 72. The ticket information is transmitted to the RFID reader 72. In response, the RFID reader 72 reads the transmitted ticket information (step S22) and notifies the control unit 64 of the read ticket information.

  Next, the control unit 64 determines whether or not the next station is a station to get off from the ticket information notified from the RFID 72 and the station information acquired via the wireless communication unit 62 (step S23). This determination is based on whether the next stop station and the stop station included in the ticket information match, or because it does not stop at the stop station included in the ticket information. I do. As a result of this determination, if the next stop station is not a station to get off, the control unit 64 returns to step S21 and repeats the process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the next stop station is a station to get off, the control unit 64 instructs the RFID reader 72 to read ticket information. In response to this, since the RFID reader 72 always issues a ticket information transmission request, the RFID 21 of the mobile terminal 1c carried by the seated user is informed of the ticket information transmission request transmitted by the RFID reader 72. Accordingly, ticket information stored therein is always transmitted to the RFID reader 72.

  In response to this, the RFID reader 72 reads the transmitted ticket information (step S24). When the ticket information is read, the RFID reader 72 notifies the control unit 64 that the ticket information has been read. The control unit 64 determines whether or not the ticket information has been read based on this notification (step S25). Here, if the ticket information can be read, the mobile terminal 1c is present in the vicinity of the seat, so that the user is assumed to be seated in the seat, and the control unit 64 displays the next stop on the display unit 92. It continues to display that the station is a station to get off (step S26). On the other hand, if the ticket information cannot be read, the mobile terminal 1c does not exist in the vicinity of the seat, so that the user is assumed to be away from the seat and the display of the warning displayed on the display unit 92 is stopped. As a result, it is possible to surely get off at the station where the user should get off, so it is possible to prevent the passenger from overtaking.

  When displaying a warning message on the display unit 91 or the display unit 92, the control units 63 and 64 transmit the warning message to the mobile terminal 1 via the short-range communication units 81 and 82, respectively. The warning message may be received via the short-range communication unit 20, and the received warning message may be displayed on the display unit 13 of the mobile terminal 1. By doing in this way, it becomes unnecessary to provide a display part in each passenger door and each seat, and it becomes possible to simplify a system configuration. Further, instead of the warning message, a warning sound may be generated from the incoming speaker.

  Further, the vehicle information storage unit 31 may be provided in each vehicle T. In this way, it is not necessary to perform communication every time a passenger gets on or sits down, so that the processing operation can be performed easily and at high speed.

  The mobile terminal of the present invention includes a mobile phone using mobile communication, a personal digital assistant (PDA) having a mobile communication function, a mobile terminal, and the like.

  Further, in the above description, the case of getting on a transportation facility has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to transportation such as a railroad, but is applied to a scene at the time of entry when a seat is determined. Is possible. For example, in a movie theater having a plurality of screens, it is possible to prevent a user who has ticket information with a fixed seat from entering a venue that is not a screen to enter.

  The program for realizing the function of the processing unit in FIG. 1 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read into the computer system and executed to thereby prevent erroneous boarding. May be performed. The “computer system” here includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. Further, the “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a volatile memory (RAM) in a computer system that becomes a server or a client when a program is transmitted via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In addition, those holding programs for a certain period of time are also included.

  The program may be transmitted from a computer system storing the program in a storage device or the like to another computer system via a transmission medium or by a transmission wave in the transmission medium. Here, the “transmission medium” for transmitting the program refers to a medium having a function of transmitting information, such as a network (communication network) such as the Internet or a communication line (communication line) such as a telephone line. The program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above.
