Automatic ticket gate system according to Embodiment 1 Example of portable terminal according to the first embodiment Flowchart of an automatic ticket gate system according to the first embodiment

In the first embodiment, in the automatic ticket gate system shown in FIG. 1, in response to a boarding reservation made by a user from a portable terminal, the boarding information received from the center device on the portable terminal is displayed on the portable terminal as a QR code. When the user causes the automatic ticket checker having the QR code reading unit to read the QR code displayed on the portable terminal, the automatic ticket checker determines the boarding information and determines whether the user can pass.

The automatic ticket gate system and automatic ticket gate capable of preventing the duplication of the QR code will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates an automatic ticket gate system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is an example of a mobile terminal used in FIG.

The automatic ticket gate system 100 is configured by connecting an automatic ticket gate 10 and an automatic ticket gate management server 20 (or a monitoring panel) to a local network 30 installed in a station premises. It is possible to communicate with the center apparatus 50 through the network 40.

The automatic ticket gate 10 automatically discriminates the boarding ticket, and the user holding the boarding ticket enters the station yard (in the direction of arrow A in the figure) or enters from the station yard based on the boarding information of the boarding ticket. The QR code reading unit 11 that reads the QR code of the portable terminal T and the entrance / exit control means (not shown) for controlling the doors 12a and 12b are provided.

The QR code reading unit 11 according to the first embodiment includes a Q that expresses the boarding information as a two-dimensional barcode.
The R code (R) can be read. When the user holding the mobile terminal T on which the QR code T2 is displayed puts the operation display unit T1 of the mobile terminal T on the QR code reading unit 11 of the automatic ticket gate 10, the QR code T2 is changed to the QR code. The reading is performed by the reading unit 11 to determine whether or not passage is permitted, and the door 12a or 12b is opened and closed by the entrance / exit control unit, and the passage of the user is permitted or prohibited.

Note that the determination of whether or not the automatic ticket gate 10 is permitted to pass is the same as the determination of boarding information on a ticket that has been generally performed in the past, and can be achieved by the conventional technique, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

The center device 50 manages fare information, reservation information, IC card information, and the like in an integrated manner. Accordingly, the center device 50 has a processing capability capable of processing the information although the scale and configuration of the CPU to be processed may differ depending on the amount of information.

The QR code can handle an amount of information of several tens to several hundreds of times compared to a conventional bar code having an amount of information of about 20 digits. Therefore, this QR code can be used as boarding information for a boarding ticket or a reservation boarding ticket. When the center device 50 that manages the reservation information receives the reservation from the portable terminal T, it generates boarding information necessary as a boarding ticket.

This boarding information includes adults / children, date and time, departure station, arrival station, car number, seat number, fare and I
D code etc. are included. In addition, route information, usage period, and the like may be included. These differ depending on the type of ticket to be purchased.

The center device 50 can store the boarding information and encrypt the reservation date and time. In addition, the reservation date and time encrypted in the boarding information can be transmitted to the portable terminal T that has applied for the reservation.

The portable terminal T has an operation display unit T01, and by an operation from the operation display unit T1,
The network 40 can be accessed to communicate with the center device 50. Moreover, the information transmitted from the center apparatus 50 by this communication can be displayed on the operation display unit T1.

The automatic ticket checker management server 20 is connected to the automatic ticket checker 10 via the local network 30 and stores fare information when the automatic ticket checker 10 determines a boarding ticket. Further, it is connected to the center device 50 via the network 40, and receives fare information and the like at the time of fare revision from the center device. In addition, it responds to inquiries from other automatic ticket gates (not shown), automatic ticket vending machines (not shown), monitoring boards (not shown), etc. connected to the local network 30, and the usage status of these devices is also checked. It can be received via the local network 30 and transmitted to the center apparatus 50 via the network 40.

FIG. 2 is an example of the mobile terminal T according to the first embodiment. As described above, the portable terminal T is provided with the operation display unit T1, and can display information and perform an input operation from the operation display unit T1 by touching the operation display unit T1. The illustrated example shows a case where the QR code T2 is displayed on the operation display unit T1.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the automatic ticket gate system according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, when a boarding reservation made from a mobile terminal is made, the QR code of the boarding information transmitted from the center device is displayed on the mobile terminal, and the automatic ticket checker reads the QR code and passes through the automatic ticket checker. explain.

A screen for making a boarding reservation displayed on the operation display unit T1 of the portable terminal T is displayed, reservation information is input from the reservation screen, the reservation information is transmitted to the center device 50, and a boarding reservation is made (S01). . The reservation information is transmitted to the center device 50 by wireless communication.

The center device 50 receives the reservation information from the portable terminal T (S11), and generates the boarding information when the reservation information can be reserved (S12).

Next, boarding information composed of information provided with the date and time (reservation date and time) when the reservation is received in the boarding information is generated. Or the boarding information which consists of the information which provided the date which encrypted the reservation date in boarding information is produced | generated. Note that which of these processes is performed is set in advance with the form terminal to be used.

The boarding information set in this way is transmitted to the mobile terminal that performed the reservation information (
S15).

The portable terminal T receives the boarding information transmitted from the center device 50 (S02), and displays the received boarding information and the QR code of the boarding information on the operation display unit T1 (S03).

Through the above processing, the following information is displayed on the mobile terminal T as the QR code T2.

Boarding information: boarding information + reservation date and time (1)
Boarding information: boarding information + encrypted reservation date and time (2)
As described above, which of the above (1) and (2) is displayed is set in advance by the mobile terminal to be used.

Next, when the user places the operation display unit 11 of the mobile terminal T displaying the QR code on the entrance QR code reading unit 11 of the automatic ticket gate 10, the automatic ticket gate 10 displays the QR code. Read (S22). If the reservation date / time is encrypted, the encrypted reservation date / time is decrypted and read (S23).

It is confirmed whether the reservation date and time of the boarding information read in this way is within a predetermined time set from the current time (S24). The predetermined time can be set not only uniformly, for example, 1 hour, but can also be set according to the contents of the reservation information. For example, when the reservation information is used for a long distance, the grace time is set longer.

As a result of the confirmation, if the reservation date and time confirmation is OK (OK in S24), the boarding information is determined (S25). On the other hand, in the case of reservation date and time confirmation NG (NG in S24), the door 12a in front of the automatic ticket gate 10 in the traveling direction (in the direction of the arrow A in the figure) is closed and passage is denied (S27).

In step S25, when the boarding information is determined to be the boarding information OK (OK in S25), the front door 12a in the traveling direction of the automatic ticket gate 10 (in the direction of the arrow A in the figure) is opened and traffic is permitted (S26) ). On the other hand, in the case of the boarding information NG (NG in S25), the automatic ticket gate 10
The forward door 12a is closed in the direction of travel (in the direction of arrow A in the figure), and passage is denied (S27).

This process is the same as when a user who has a ticket passes the ticket through an automatic ticket gate.

The QR code T2 displayed on the mobile terminal T is set so that it is not displayed except for the set display time. For example, only one hour after the reservation can be displayed, or only one hour before and after including the boarding time described in the reserved boarding information can be displayed.

By providing such a display time limit, it is possible to prevent the QR code displayed on the mobile terminal from being damaged.

That is, even if the boarding information is encrypted, if the encrypted display is copied as it is to another portable terminal, it may be possible to use the automatic ticket gate using the other portable terminal. This is because the automatic ticket checker cannot distinguish whether the displayed QR code is original or copied. Therefore, in this case, regardless of whether it is an original or a copy, a boarding process such as an admission process is performed based on the boarding information that was used first, and later used ones are rejected due to double use. Is done.

However, since the QR code is encrypted, it cannot be read by a commercially available QR code reader (not shown) or the like, and copying using these devices can be prevented. This is because the encrypted QR code T2 can be decrypted only by the automatic ticket gate.

The encryption is also effective when, for example, only a reserved date or a date using the ticket is used as an encrypted QR code. This is because the third party cannot confirm the reservation date or the boarding date, making it difficult to use.

  For encryption, 3DES (triple death) or AES can be used.

As described above, when displaying the boarding information QR code on the mobile terminal, the present embodiment encrypts the boarding information added with the issue date and time, and uses the encrypted information as the QR code. By displaying on the mobile terminal, it is possible to provide a portable terminal capable of preventing the encrypted QR code from being read by a QR code reader other than the automatic ticket gate.
