As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile phone 2 (mobile terminal) includes an application activation unit 25, a position information acquisition unit 26, and a position determination unit 27 (intra-section determination unit) in the CPU 21.
In the present embodiment, the mobile phone 2 is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a mobile terminal such as a notebook computer may be used.

  The application activation unit 25 activates a predetermined application. In the present embodiment, the periodic application stored in the memory 13 is activated. The term application is an application that is formed for each type of IC card type or mobile phone type, and indicates the procedure for changing the setting of the flag B for each type. When the periodic application is activated, the mobile phone 2A, for example, obtains position information, determines whether or not the mobile phone 2A is within a section, and notifies the user that the IC card 1 is held over the reader / writer unit 23. Processing necessary for changing the setting of flag B is performed.

  The position information acquisition unit 26 acquires position information when the application is activated. Specifically, the position information acquisition unit 26 receives the information from the satellite 5 by the antenna unit 24 using the GPS function, and the latitude and longitude from which the position of the own device is determined from the received information. Is obtained as position information. In addition, the position information acquisition unit 26 receives the radio wave of the base station of the mobile phone network from the antenna unit 24, and acquires the latitude and longitude information from which the position of the own device is determined from the received radio wave as the position information. You may make it do.

  The position determination unit 27 (intra-section determination section) determines whether or not the position information is within the section defined by the section information. Specifically, the position determination unit 27 is located within the section of the available station where the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 26 is stored in the section information (on the coordinates in the latitude and longitude between the stations connected by the track). ) Is determined.

  In addition, the reader / writer unit 23 (reading unit) of the mobile phone 2 reads the section information from the section information storage unit 15 when the application is activated.

  Further, when it is determined that the position information is within the section defined by the section information, the reader / writer section 23 (writing section) uses the exit side automatic ticket checker 4 (exit gate) together with the section information during the exit process. Change of the setting of the flag B to the flag B storage unit 17 (second entrance information storage unit) in which the setting of the flag B (second entrance information) used to obtain permission to leave is stored (second entrance information storage unit) Write second admission information).

  The entrance-side automatic ticket gate 3 (entrance gate) judges the section information of the IC card 1 by performing an entrance process such as touching (holding) the IC card 1 on the reader / writer unit 31, for example. , Admission is permitted (in this embodiment, the gate is opened). Then, the reader / writer unit 31 writes the flag A (changes the setting of the flag A) stored in the flag A storage unit 16 (first entrance information storage unit) of the IC card 1 when entry is permitted. Do.

Further, the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 (exit gate) performs exit processing such as, for example, touching the IC card 1 to the reader / writer unit 23, thereby setting the section information of the IC card 1, flag A and the like. The setting of the flag B is determined, and the exit is permitted (in this embodiment, the gate part is opened).
That is, the exit-side automatic ticket gate 4 (exit gate) is located in the section information of the IC card 1 and the flag A is set or the flag B is set. If it is in the state, leave is permitted.

  In the mobile phone 2A (mobile terminal) used in the entrance / exit management system S configured as described above, the application activation unit 25 activates a predetermined application. When a predetermined application is activated, the reader / writer unit 23 (reading unit) reads the section information stored in the section information storage unit 15 of the IC card 1. When a predetermined application is activated, the position information acquisition unit 26 acquires position information of the mobile phone 2A.

  Then, the position determination unit 27 (intra-section determination unit) determines whether or not the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 26 is within the section defined by the section information in the section information storage unit 15.

  Further, when the position determination unit 27 determines that the position information is within the section defined by the section information, the position determination unit 27 sets the flag B (writes the second entry information). As a result, the user performs exit processing (for example, touches the reader / writer unit 23 of the exit-side automatic ticket gate 4) to the exit-side automatic ticket gate 4, thereby leaving the exit-side automatic ticket gate 4 (exit). Exit from the gate is permitted.

  Therefore, even when the user enters the station premises without performing the entrance process due to, for example, failure of the entrance process, the exit processing is performed using the mobile phone 2A, so that the exit side automatic ticket gate It is possible to set flag B (acquisition of second admission information) that permits leaving from 4 (exit gate). Thus, for example, by setting the flag B while moving on a train, the user does not need to write entrance information with a dedicated terminal or the like, and can quickly leave.

  Furthermore, the user can leave the station yard more quickly by setting the flag B during movement on the train, for example. Thereby, on the station side, the acquisition of entrance information by the dedicated terminal can be reduced, and congestion due to the use of the dedicated terminal can be alleviated. As a result, it is possible to obtain an effect of reducing the occurrence of stress of the station user while reducing the complaints of the station user.

  Further, in the mobile phone 2A, even when the user is not aware that the setting of the flag A (acquisition of the first entry information) is not performed, the flag B is set by performing the above-described processing. Therefore, the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 (exit gate) is not permitted to leave, so congestion at the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 (exit gate) can be reduced. In the mobile phone 2A, for example, when a large number of people are crowded at a rush hour or the like, the congestion at the time of leaving due to the fact that the entry information is not acquired and the leaving is not permitted is alleviated. be able to.

  The mobile phone 2 </ b> A includes a request unit 30. When the application is activated by the application activation unit 25, the request unit 30 requests the display unit 201 to display that the IC card 1 is held up. In addition, the request unit 30 makes various display requests to the display unit 201 such as a display request indicating that the processing has been completed.

  In addition, the writing unit 23 writes the second entrance information on the condition that the display on the display unit 201 is performed in response to a request from the requesting unit 30 and the IC card 1 is held over.

  Therefore, in the mobile phone 2A, by starting the application, in response to a request from the request unit 30, the display unit 201 displays a message indicating that the IC card 1 is held over, such as “Please hold the card.” . In accordance with this display, the user holds the IC card 1 to set the flag B (write second entry information).

  By configuring the mobile phone 2A in this manner, the user can know the timing of reading by the reader / writer unit 23, so that the user can quickly set the flag B (acquire second admission information). Can do. If the user sets the flag B in advance before leaving, the user can leave the exit automatic ticket gate 4 (exit gate) without delay.

  Further, instead of using the IC card 1 for entrance / exit management of the entrance / exit management system S described above, the mobile phone 2B equipped with the IC chip 11 is used for entrance / exit management of the entrance / exit management system S. A desired function can be exhibited by the following configuration instead of the configuration described above.

The mobile phone 2B includes an IC chip 11. The IC chip 11 includes a section information storage unit 15, a flag A storage unit 16 (first entrance information storage unit), and a flag B storage unit 17 (second entrance information storage unit).
Section information is stored in the section information storage unit 15. A flag A (first entry information) is set (stored) in the flag A storage unit 16 (first entry information storage unit). A flag B (second admission information) is set (stored) in the flag B storage unit 17 (second admission information storage unit).

  In the mobile phone 2B (mobile terminal) used in the entrance / exit management system S configured as described above, the application activation unit 25 activates a predetermined application. When a predetermined application is activated, the section information stored in the section information storage unit 15 of the IC chip 11 is read. Further, when a predetermined application is activated, the position information acquisition unit 26 acquires position information.

  And the position determination part 27 (intra-section determination part) determines whether it is in the area prescribed | regulated by area information. If the position determination unit 27 determines that the position information is within the section defined by the section information, the position determination unit 27 sets the flag B (writes the second entry information). As a result, the user performs exit processing (for example, touches the reader / writer unit 23 of the exit side automatic ticket gate 4) with respect to the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 (exit gate). Exit from ticket gate 4 (exit gate) is permitted.

  Therefore, even when the user enters the station without entering the station due to, for example, the entrance process failing, the exit side automatic ticket gate can be obtained by performing the exit process using the mobile phone 2B. It is possible to set flag B (acquisition of second admission information) that permits leaving from 4 (exit gate). Thus, for example, by setting the flag B while moving on a train, the user does not need to write entrance information with a dedicated terminal or the like, and can quickly leave.

  In addition, since the IC chip 11 is mounted on the cellular phone 2B, the flag B can be set only by starting an application, compared to the case where the IC card 1 is used. For this reason, the user does not need to perform a predetermined operation such as holding the IC card 1 and individual management is not required.

  The mobile phones 2A and 2B include a flag determination unit 28 and a flag B setting unit 29. The flag determination unit 28 determines (confirms) the setting of each flag in the flag A storage unit 16 and the flag B storage unit 17. The flag B setting unit 29 sets the flag B (changes the flag B) in the flag B storage unit 17.

Next, the use of the entrance / exit management system S in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In this embodiment, the entrance / exit management system S repeats a specific section by commuting or attending school in public transportation such as a railroad, for example. The entrance / exit management system S in the case of using (regular) will be described.

  In the following, the IC card type commuter pass (periodic) used in the present embodiment is referred to as an IC card period, and the mobile phone type period on which the IC chip 11 is mounted is referred to as a mobile period.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the entrance / exit management system S in this embodiment determines whether or not an error has occurred at the ticket gate (the entrance-side automatic ticket gate 3) in step ST1.

  The error in the entrance side automatic ticket gate 3 is that the entrance side automatic ticket gate 3 cannot perform a predetermined entrance process, the entrance information is not written in the IC chip 11, and the gate unit 32 is closed, for example. In this state, entry into the station is not permitted, and the IC chip 11 is not recognized as being capable of leaving. On the other hand, if there is no error in the entrance side automatic ticket gate 3, the entrance process is performed, so that the entrance information is written in the IC chip 11, the gate part 32 is opened, and the entrance side automatic ticket gate 3 is entered. Is permitted, the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 performs exit processing, the gate 42 is opened, and the exit from the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 is also permitted.

  In addition, the predetermined entrance processing is a state in which entrance information is written to the IC chip 11 from the reader / writer unit 31 of the entrance-side automatic ticket gate 3. For example, the IC chip 11 is inserted into the reader / writer unit 31. Is accompanied (touched), and the collating unit 34 recognizes the IC chip 11 and the flag setting unit 33 writes the entrance information.

  The predetermined exit process is, for example, a process in which the IC chip 11 is brought close (touched) to the reader / writer unit 31 and the collation unit 44 recognizes the IC chip 11 and collates entrance information. Then, the flag setting unit 43 resets the flag (A = 0, B = 0).

  In this embodiment, the entry information is written by changing the setting (value) of a flag stored in the memory 13 of the IC chip 11. Specifically, the flag is set when the flag is changed to “0” or “1”. In the initial state, “0” is set. This state is a state where the flag is not set (a state where the entrance information is not written), and becomes “1” when the flag is set.

In step ST1, if the station ticket gate (entrance-side automatic ticket gate 3) does not cause an error in the ticket gate (entrance-side automatic ticket gate 3) (N), the process proceeds to step ST2. This state is a state in which entrance information is written in the IC chip 11.
If an error occurs at the ticket gate (entrance-side automatic ticket gate 3) (Y), the process proceeds to step ST3.

In step ST2, the exit-side automatic ticket checker 4 is allowed to pass through the exit-side automatic ticket checker 4 by performing the exit process, and the process ends. Specifically, the mobile phones 2A and 2B check the flag by the verification unit 44 based on information from the reader / writer unit 41 when the user leaves the exit side automatic ticket gate 4, and the gates While the unit 42 is opened, the flag A is changed from 1 to 0 by the flag setting unit 33. As a result, the flag returns to the initial state (A = 0, B = 0), and re-entry becomes possible.
Accordingly, since the entrance process at the entrance side automatic ticket gate 3 is performed without error, the user is allowed to leave at the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 and the ticket gate (the exit side automatic ticket gate) is normally set. ).

  In step ST3, the application activation unit 25 activates the periodic application. In step ST1, since the entrance processing at the entrance side automatic ticket gate 3 is not performed and the exit from the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 is not permitted (cannot exit from the station premises), the application is started by the operation by the user. The unit 25 activates a predetermined application (application related to entrance / exit management).

  In the present embodiment, in the case of IC card periodicity, an application for IC card periodicity is activated as shown in FIG. In the case of mobile periodicity, an application for mobile periodicity is started as shown in FIG. The application activation unit 25 operates to confirm the specifications of the mobile phone 2 such as the IC chip 11 that is regularly used by the application, and activate a predetermined application according to the application. Anyway.

In step ST4, the position information acquisition unit 26 confirms the position information. Specifically, the position information acquisition unit 26 detects (positions) the position of the mobile phone 2 based on information from the satellite 5 or radio waves from the base station via the antenna unit 24 when the application is activated. . At this time, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the display unit 201 displays that the position information is being confirmed (“confirming position information”).
In step ST4, if the IC card is regular, the process proceeds to step ST5. If the mobile period is regular, the process proceeds to step ST7.

In step ST5, in the mobile phone 2A, it is determined whether or not the user holds the IC card 1 over the mobile phone (mobile phone 2A). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the mobile phone 2 </ b> A displays on the display unit 201 that the IC card 1 is held (“Please hold the card.”), And the reader / writer unit is displayed to the user. 23 urges the user to be ready to read information such as section information.
In this process ST5, when the IC card 1 is not carried over (N), the process proceeds to step ST6, and when the IC card 1 is carried over (Y), the process proceeds to step ST7.

  In step ST6, the regular flag A is updated by the station staff, and the process ends. By requesting the station staff to renew the regular flag A and updating the flag A in the IC card 1, the entrance information will be registered in the IC card 1. Exit from the automatic ticket gate 4 is permitted, and you can leave the station.

  In step ST7, the position determination part 27 determines whether it is in a regular area. Specifically, the position determination unit 27 compares the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 26 with the section specified by the section information, and determines whether the position information belongs to the section. I do. At this time, in the case of IC card regularity, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the display unit 201 displays a regular section (“periodic range is XX station / XX station”).

  In this process ST7, when it is determined that it is outside the regular section (N), the process proceeds to step ST6, and when it is determined that it is within the regular section (Y), the process proceeds to step ST8. If it is determined in this step ST7 that it is out of the regular section, the display unit 201 indicates to the user that it is out of the regular section as shown in FIGS. ("Not a commuter pass. Please apply to the station staff").

In step ST8, the flag setting is changed, and the process proceeds to step ST9. Specifically, the flag B setting unit 29 changes the setting of the flag B (changes from “0” to “1”).
In this step ST8, when the regular type is IC card regular, for example, a request to hold the IC card 1 over the display unit 201 is made by a request from the request unit 30, and the user carries the IC card 1 The flag is updated by the flag B setting unit 29 by being held over the telephone 2A.

Further, in the case of IC card regularity, the display unit 201 displays that the IC card is held over (“It is in a regular section. Please hold the card over”) as shown in FIG. Then, when the IC card is held over, the flag B is set, and in response to a request from the request unit 30, a display indicating that the flag has been set (“boarding record has been recorded”) is performed.
In the case of one mobile period, as shown in FIG. 6, flag setting B is set, and a request from the request unit 30 indicates that it is within the regular section and that the flag has been set. ("It's on a regular basis. The ride record was recorded").

  In step ST9, the flag determination unit 28 confirms a periodic flag at the station ticket gate (exit side automatic ticket gate 4). If it is confirmed that the flag is not A = 0 and B = 1 (N), the flag determination unit 28 proceeds to step ST6. When it is confirmed that the flag is not A = 0 and B = 1 (Y), the process proceeds to step ST10. The state in which the flag is A = 0 is a state in which the entrance operation is not performed in the entrance-side automatic ticket gate 3 and the flag A is not set. The state in which the flag is B = 1 is a state in which the writing process is performed by the mobile phone 2 and the flag B is set.

  In step ST10, the exit-side automatic ticket gate 4 clears the flag B when passing through the ticket gate (exit-side automatic ticket gate 4) by performing the exit process, and the process ends. Specifically, the mobile phones 2A and 2B check the flag by the verification unit 44 based on information from the reader / writer unit 41 when the user leaves the exit side automatic ticket gate 4, and the gates While the unit 42 is opened, the flag A is changed from 1 to 0 by the flag setting unit 33. As a result, the flag returns to the initial state (A = 0, B = 0), and re-entry becomes possible.

  Therefore, even when entering without performing the entrance process, it is possible to exit from the exit side automatic ticket gate 4 by the process by the user.

  The preferred embodiment of the entrance / exit management system S according to the present invention has been described above. However, the entrance / exit management system S according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various forms. it can.

  In the present embodiment, the first entry information and the second entry information are configured as the flag A and the flag B, but are not limited thereto. For example, the second information and the first information may be configured as the same information (the second information is not provided as the flag B but is provided as the flag A).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the position information of the mobile phone 2 is set as the condition for writing the second entrance information, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is only necessary to be able to estimate that the user is in an available section. For example, the condition may be that the user is within a predetermined time from the entrance.

  In the present embodiment, the IC chip 11 sets the section information and flag A (first admission information) and the flag B (first entry information) for the reading of the memory 13 from the exit-side automatic ticket gate 4 during the exit process. The second entry information) is responded to, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the IC chip 11 is configured to make a response that the flag A (first admission information) is set on condition that the flag B (second admission information) is set. May be.
