  Returning to the description of FIG. In the automatic ticket gate 1 shown in FIG. 1, the two doors 14 a and 14 b are respectively installed on the entrance side and the exit side of the user in the automatic ticket gate 1. The automatic ticket checker 1 restricts the passage of passengers by closing the doors 14a and 14b when a problem occurs in the ticket check process of the ticket presented by the passenger. In addition, the automatic ticket gate 1 closes the doors 14a and 14b, for example, when the in-flight detection unit 13a in the vicinity of the center of the automatic ticket gate 1 detects the presence of a person without presenting a boarding ticket. Limit.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the automatic ticket gate 1 according to the present embodiment.
The automatic ticket gate 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a storage device. The automatic ticket gate 1 includes a reading unit 11, a writing unit 12, a detection unit 13, a door 14, a storage unit 15, and a control unit 16.

The reading unit 11 reads the encoded information from the boarding ticket and outputs the read encoded information to the boarding ticket processing unit 161 of the control unit 16. The reading unit 11 includes a magnetic ticket reading unit 111, an IC ticket reading unit 112, and a code ticket reading unit 113.
The magnetic ticket reading unit 111 includes a magnetic head and reads encoded information from the magnetic ticket.

  The IC ticket reading unit 112 includes an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) communication unit, and reads encoded information from the IC ticket. The RFID communication unit generates a magnetic field in the vicinity of the reading / writing surface of the IC ticket reading unit 112 shown in FIG. The magnetic field applies a voltage to a circuit built in the IC ticket presented by the user via electromagnetic induction. As a result, a circuit built in the IC ticket operates, and the IC ticket reading unit 112 reads encoded information from the IC ticket via wireless communication.

  The code voucher reading unit 113 includes an imaging unit and reads encoded information from the code voucher. The code voucher reading unit 113 images the code voucher presented by the user. The code voucher reading unit 113 specifies an information storage area from the imaged code voucher, for example, by pattern recognition. The code voucher reading unit 113 analyzes the specified area and reads the encoded information.

The writing unit 12 writes the result of the ticket gate processing acquired from the ticket processing unit 161 of the control unit into the ticket. The writing unit 12 includes a magnetic ticket writing unit 121 and an IC ticket writing unit 122.
The magnetic ticket writing unit 121 includes a magnetic head and writes the result of the ticket gate process on the magnetic ticket. In the present embodiment, the magnetic ticket reading unit 111 and the magnetic ticket writing unit 121 are an integrated device.
The IC ticket writing unit 122 includes an RFID communication unit, and writes the result of the ticket gate process to the IC ticket. In the present embodiment, the IC ticket reading unit 112 and the IC ticket writing unit 122 are an integrated device.

  The detection unit 13 detects the presence of a person and outputs the detection result to the control unit 16. The in-machine detector 13a and the in-machine detector 13b include, for example, optical sensors. For example, the optical sensor detects the presence of a user in cooperation with an adjacent automatic ticket gate. The optical sensor includes a pair of light emitting units and a light receiving unit (one of which is provided in the adjacent automatic ticket gate) arranged opposite to each other, and the light receiving unit detects the interruption of the light emitted from the light emitting unit. By doing so, the existence of the user is detected. Alternatively, the detection unit 13 may be a reflection type sensor (receives light reflected by the user and detects the presence of the user).

  The storage unit 15 includes, for example, an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), a flash memory, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), or a RAM (Random Access Memory, etc.). Various programs to be executed by the CPU included in the automatic ticket gate 1, results of processing executed by the CPU, and the like are stored. In addition, the storage unit 15 stores encoding information during the ticket gate process. The control unit 16 functions, for example, when the CPU provided in the automatic ticket checker 1 executes a program stored in the storage unit 15.

The control unit 16 controls the operation of the automatic ticket gate 1. The control unit 16 includes a ticket processing unit 161, a reading control unit 162, an identity determination unit 163, and a door control unit 164.
The ticket processing unit 161 acquires encoding information from the reading unit 11 and executes a ticket gate process. The ticket processing unit 161 outputs the result of the ticket gate process to the writing unit 12. When the ticket gate processing is normally completed, the ticket processing unit 161 outputs a ticket completion processing completion notification to the door control unit 164. When an abnormality occurs in the ticket gate process, the ticket processing unit 161 outputs an abnormality notification to the reading control unit 162 and the door control unit 164. When the acquired encoded information indicates a request for reading another boarding ticket, the boarding ticket processing unit 161 outputs a request for reading another boarding ticket to the reading control unit 162. Further, the ticket processing unit 161 outputs a user identity determination request to the identity determination unit 163.

  The reading control unit 162 controls reading of the ticket by the reading unit 11 according to information acquired from the ticket processing unit 161. When a reading request for another ticket is acquired from the ticket processing unit 161, the reading control unit 162 controls the reading unit 11 to accept reading of the ticket. When the abnormality notification is acquired from the ticket processing unit 161, the reading control unit 162 controls the reading unit 11 to stop reading the ticket.

  The identity determination unit 163 acquires a detection result from the detection unit 13. The identity determination unit 163 executes a user identity determination process based on the detection result acquired from the detection unit 13. In the present embodiment, the identity determination process is a process for determining whether or not the users presenting each of the plurality of tickets are the same when processing a plurality of tickets in one ticket gate process. That means. In other words, the identity determination process means that when the encoded information read from the first ticket needs to read the second ticket, the user of the second ticket Refers to the process of determining whether or not the user is the same.

  In the identity determination process, the identity determination unit 163 determines whether, for example, the people detected by the detection unit 13 are the same. For example, the identity determination unit 163 completes reading of a plurality of tickets from the time when the identity determination request is acquired from the ticket processing unit 161, and the result of the ticket gate processing based on the read encoded information is written. The identity of the user until it is output to the unit 12 is determined. Specifically, the identity determination unit 163 determines whether or not a person is continuously detected by any of the detection units 13 after the front detection unit 13b detects the person, for example. When the person is continuously detected until the result of the ticket gate process is obtained, the identity determination unit 163 determines that the users are the same. In addition, when there is a time during which no person is detected before the result of the ticket gate process is obtained, the identity determination unit 163 determines that the users are not the same.

  The identity determination unit 163 determines the identity of the user based on the continuity of the output of the detection unit 13. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the detection ranges of the in-machine detection units 130 to 139 and the front-side detection unit 13 b are continuous from the entrance to the exit. For example, the identity determination unit 163 presents each of a plurality of tickets when the presence of a person is detected in each of the in-flight detection units 130 to 139 and the front detection unit 13b that are not continuous. It is determined that the person is not the same. When the identity determination unit 163 determines that the person detected by the detection unit 13 is not the same, the identity determination unit 163 deletes the encoded information during the ticket gate process stored in the storage unit 15. Thereby, the automatic ticket gate 1 resets the ticket gate processing and accepts the presentation of the boarding ticket from the next user.

  The door control unit 164 controls opening and closing of the door 14. When the door control unit 164 obtains a notice of completion of the ticket gate processing from the ticket processing unit 161, the door control unit 164 opens the door 14 and permits the user to pass therethrough. When the door control unit 164 obtains an abnormality notification from the ticket processing unit 161, the door control unit 164 closes the door 14 to obstruct the user's passage.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the automatic ticket gate 1.
The operation of the automatic ticket gate 1 shown in FIG. 5 assumes that an IC ticket is presented last when a plurality of tickets are processed. First, the automatic ticket gate 1 resets the ticket gate processing by erasing the encoded information stored in its own device (step S101). Next, the automatic ticket gate 1 accepts reading of the boarding ticket presented by the user, and determines whether or not the boarding ticket has been read (step S102). When the boarding ticket has not been read (step S102; NO), the automatic ticket gate 1 returns the process to step S102. When the boarding ticket is read (step S102; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether or not the read boarding ticket is a magnetic ticket (step S103). When the accepted boarding ticket is a magnetic ticket (step S103; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 reads encoding information from the magnetic ticket and executes a ticket gate process (step S104).

  Next, the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether or not another ticket is necessary in the ticket gate process (step S105). If it is determined that another ticket is necessary (step S105; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 proceeds to step S102. If it is determined that another ticket is not necessary (step S105; NO), the automatic ticket checker 1 determines whether or not to permit traffic as a result of the ticket check process (step S106). When it is determined that the passage is permitted (step S106; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 opens the door 14 (step S107). Moreover, when it determines with not permitting traffic (step S106; NO), an automatic ticket gate closes the door 14 (step S108).

  Then, the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether or not to accept the next user's ticket gate processing (step S109). When it is determined that the next user's ticket gate processing is accepted (step S109; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 advances the processing to step S101. When it is determined that the next user's ticket gate processing is not accepted (step S109; NO), the automatic ticket gate 1 ends the processing.

  In step S103, when the received boarding ticket is not a magnetic ticket (step S103; NO), the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether the received boarding ticket is a code ticket (step S110). When the accepted ticket is a code ticket (step S110; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 reads the encoding information from the code ticket and executes a ticket gate process (step S111).

  Next, the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether or not another ticket is necessary in the ticket gate process (step S112). When it is determined that another ticket is not necessary (step S112; NO), the automatic ticket gate 1 advances the processing to step S106. If it is determined that another ticket is necessary (step S112; YES), the automatic ticket checker 1 performs an identity determination process, and whether or not the user is the same until the other ticket is read. Is determined (step S113). When it is determined that the users are not the same (step S113; NO), the automatic ticket gate 1 advances the processing to step S109. Moreover, when it determines with a user being the same, ie, when step S113 is YES, the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether the read boarding ticket is a magnetic ticket (step S114).

  When the read boarding ticket is a magnetic ticket (step S114; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 advances the processing to step S104. If the read ticket is not a magnetic ticket but an IC ticket (step S114; NO), the automatic ticket checker 1 reads the encoded information from the IC ticket and executes a ticket check process (step S115). Next, the automatic ticket gate 1 advances the processing to step S106. In step S110, when the accepted boarding ticket is not a code ticket (step S110; NO), the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether or not the accepted boarding ticket is an IC ticket (step S116). When the accepted ticket is an IC ticket (step S116; YES), the automatic ticket gate 1 advances the process to step S115. If the accepted ticket is not an IC ticket (step S116; NO), the automatic ticket gate 1 advances the process to step S109.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automatic ticket gates that can use ticket media such as IC tickets and code tickets in addition to conventionally used magnetic tickets have become widespread. An IC ticket or a code ticket is a non-contact type ticket, and there is an advantage that an abnormality such as a ticket jam does not occur because it is not necessary to be taken into an automatic ticket checker like a magnetic ticket and processed. However, since the IC ticket and code ticket have a high degree of freedom of movement of the user, the user may leave the automatic ticket gate before completing the ticket gate process.

  For example, when a plurality of tickets are required in one ticket gate process, the result of the ticket gate process is written in a magnetic ticket or an IC ticket. However, for example, when the user is a non-contact type and uses a specific ticket such as a code ticket in which the processing result is not written, the user automatically presents the code ticket after presenting the code ticket. A case where the ticket gate is left is considered. In addition, there may be a case where the user presents only the code ticket and leaves the automatic ticket gate. In these cases, the automatic ticket gate cannot write the processing result on the user's magnetic ticket or IC ticket. In this state, if the next user appears and presents a magnetic ticket or IC ticket, the processing result of the previous user's code ticket may be written in the boarding ticket. Therefore, the ticket gate process may not be completed normally.

  On the other hand, the automatic ticket gate 1 determines whether or not the users of the first boarding ticket and the second boarding ticket are the same based on the detection result of the detection unit 13. As a result, the automatic ticket gate 1 can normally complete the ticket gate processing even when processing a plurality of tickets in one ticket gate processing. Moreover, since the automatic ticket gate 1 includes the front detector 13b, the automatic ticket gate 1 can detect the presence of the user before the entrance to the automatic ticket gate 1. As a result, the automatic ticket gate 1 can determine the identity of the user without interfering with the behavior of the user entering the automatic ticket gate 1, thereby improving the convenience of the user and performing the ticket gate process. Can be completed successfully.

FIG. 6 is a side view showing an appearance of a modified automatic ticket gate 1c.
In the example shown in FIG. 6, the automatic ticket gate 1 c includes a front detector 13 c instead of the front detector 13 b of the automatic ticket gate 1 in the example shown in FIG. 1.
The front detector 13c is installed on the floor before the entrance of the automatic ticket gate 1c. The front detector 13c is a weight sensor, and detects the presence of a user of the automatic ticket gate 1c by detecting the weight of a person riding on the sensor. The machine detector 13c detects the presence of a person before the entrance of the automatic ticket checker 1c, similarly to the machine detector 13b of the automatic ticket checker 1.

  The automatic ticket checker 1c, for example, tracks the movement of the user inside the automatic ticket checker 1c and before the entrance of the automatic ticket checker 1c by associating the output from the in-flight detection unit 13c with the output from the in-flight detection unit 13a. To do. In the identity determination process of the user, the identity determination unit 163 of the automatic ticket gate 1c automatically moves the tracked user based on the continuity of outputs from the plurality of in-machine detection units 13a and the in-machine detection unit 13b. If it is a movement to the outside of the device, it is determined that the users of the presented multiple tickets are not the same.

FIG. 7 is a side view showing the appearance of a modified automatic ticket gate 1d.
In the example shown in FIG. 7, the automatic ticket gate 1 d includes a machine front detection unit 13 d instead of the machine front detection unit 13 b of the automatic ticket gate 1 in the example shown in FIG. 1.
The front detector 13d is installed, for example, near the center between the entrance and exit of the automatic ticket gate 1d. The front detector 13d includes an imaging unit that images the entrance of the automatic ticket gate 1d, and the imaging unit images a user near the entrance of the automatic ticket gate 1d. The identity determination unit 163 of the automatic ticket checker 1d determines whether the users imaged by the front detection unit 13d are the same when the reading unit 11 reads a plurality of tickets. Execute the judgment process.

  Specifically, the identity determination unit 163 of the automatic ticket gate 1d performs pattern matching on the captured image captured by the on-board detection unit 13d when the first boarding ticket is presented, for example. The user's face area in the image is specified. The identity determination unit 163 of the automatic ticket checker 1d extracts an image feature amount from the specified face area. The identity determination unit 163 of the automatic ticket gate 1d performs the same process on the captured image captured by the front detection unit 13d when the second ticket is presented, thereby performing the image feature of the facial region. Extract the amount. The identity determination unit 163 of the automatic ticket checker 1d compares the similarity of the image feature amounts of the facial area at two points in time, thereby comparing the user of the first ticket and the user of the second ticket Are determined to be the same.

As another example of the identity determination process, for example, the front detector 13d focuses the imaging on the user's face. Then, for example, when the focal center of imaging by the front detector 13b moves from a predetermined threshold in the captured image while processing the first ticket and the second ticket, the automatic ticket gate 1d The identity determination unit 163 determines that the users are not the same.
In another modification, for example, the front detector 13d is installed on a ceiling near the automatic ticket gate 1d. The pre-machine detection unit 13d captures an image of the user from above and tracks the movement of the user. In the identity determination process, the identity determination unit 163 of the automatic ticket checker 1d allows the user who has presented the first ticket to the automatic ticket checker 1d when the user presents the second ticket. It is determined whether or not it exists in the vicinity of the reading unit 11.

  In another modification, for example, the automatic ticket gate 1 does not include the front detector 13b. In this case, after the in-flight detection unit 13a detects the presence of a person, the reading control unit 162 controls the reading unit 11 to accept reading of a boarding ticket. Thus, the automatic ticket gate 1 can reliably detect the presence of a person when reading the first boarding ticket. As a result, even when processing a plurality of tickets in one ticket gate process, the automatic ticket gate 1 can complete the ticket gate process normally without providing any special equipment.

In addition, in the said embodiment, when a code ticket and an IC ticket are shown simultaneously, an automatic ticket gate may perform a process about a code ticket previously.
In the above embodiment, the magnetic ticket reading and writing functions may not be provided. Similarly, in the above-described embodiment, the functions for reading and writing IC tickets may not be provided.
In each of the above embodiments, the ticket processing unit 161, the reading control unit 162, the identity determination unit 163, and the door control unit 164 are software function units, but are hardware function units such as LSIs. May be.

  According to at least one embodiment described above, the automatic ticket gate has a detection unit that detects the presence of a person when the first boarding ticket is presented, so that the first boarding ticket and the second boarding are obtained. It is possible to determine whether the ticket and the user are the same, and to control the opening and closing of the door.
