Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a charge calculation server and a charge calculation program.

  There are ticket gates that restrict the passage of users to specific locations. The ticket gate calculates a fee based on information stored in a recording medium possessed by the user, and performs a traffic determination that determines whether the user is permitted or not permitted.

  There are also ticket gates that determine traffic by calculating different fees for adults and children. The recording medium used for such a ticket gate stores information indicating whether the user is an adult or a child at the time of issuance. The ticket gate selects either a charge calculation method for adults or a charge calculation method for children based on information read from the recording medium.

  There is also an account-type ticket gate system in which a host device such as a server stores an account in which information (payment information) relating to payment of charges is associated with identification information recorded on a medium owned by a user. In the account-type ticket gate system, the ticket gate reads the identification information from the recording medium, and transmits the read identification information and the entry information or the entry information to the server. The server calculates a fee based on the identification information, entrance information, and entry information transmitted from the ticket gate. The server charges the calculated fee according to the payment information.

JP 2011-113507 A

  When information indicating whether the user is an adult or a child is stored at the time of issuance, a time limit is set for the issued recording medium. For this reason, it is possible to confirm whether the user is an adult or a child at the timing of update or the like. However, in the account-type ticket gate system, it is not necessary to update the recording medium once issued, so it is difficult to switch from the charge calculation method for children to the charge calculation method for adults, or the labor of the user increases. There is a problem.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a convenient fee calculation server and a fee calculation program.

  A fee calculation server according to an embodiment includes a memory and an arithmetic element. The memory stores an account including identification information and personal information, at least a first fee calculation algorithm, and a second fee calculation algorithm for calculating a fee different from the first fee calculation algorithm. The computing element acquires identification information of the recording medium, extracts an account corresponding to the acquired identification information from the memory, and according to the personal information of the extracted account, the first fee calculation algorithm and the second The charge calculation algorithm is selected, and the charge is calculated by the selected charge calculation algorithm.

In addition, the CPU 11 issues a ticket medium by storing the identification information in a medium accommodated in the accommodation unit of the ticket issuing unit 18 by the storage unit.

  The CPU 21 of the server 3 generates an account by associating the identification information, personal information, and payment information transmitted from the registration device 2. The CPU 21 stores the generated account in the nonvolatile memory 24.

(Regarding ticket gate processing on the entrance side)
The CPU 41 of the ticket gate 4 (that is, the first ticket gate 4A) that performs the ticket gate process on the entrance side reads the identification information from the ticket medium placed on the reader 33 by the reader 33. The CPU 41 transmits the read identification information and information (entrance information) indicating the place (station) where the ticket gate 4 is installed to the server 3 via the communication unit 45.

  The CPU 21 of the server 3 refers to the non-volatile memory 24 and extracts an account whose identification information matches the identification information transmitted from the ticket gate 4 from a plurality of accounts stored in the non-volatile memory 24. The CPU 21 stores the entry information in the nonvolatile memory 24 in association with the extracted account.

(Regarding ticket gate processing on the entry side)
The CPU 41 of the ticket gate 4 (that is, the second ticket gate 4B) that performs the ticket gate process on the entry side reads the identification information by the reading unit 33 from the ticket medium placed on the reading unit 33. The CPU 41 transmits the read identification information and information (participation information) indicating the place (station) where the ticket gate 4 is installed to the server 3 via the communication unit 45.

  The CPU 21 of the server 3 refers to the non-volatile memory 24 and extracts an account whose identification information matches the identification information transmitted from the ticket gate 4 from a plurality of accounts stored in the non-volatile memory 24. Further, the CPU 21 performs fee calculation, payment, and traffic determination based on the extracted account.

  First, the CPU 21 calculates a fee. For example, the CPU 21 determines a charge calculation algorithm to be used for calculating charges among a plurality of charge calculation algorithms stored in the nonvolatile memory 24 based on the extracted personal information of the account.

  For example, the CPU 21 recognizes whether the user is a child or an adult based on the date of birth of the personal information and the current date and time. Specifically, the CPU 21 calculates the age of the user based on the date of birth of personal information and the current date and time. The CPU 21 recognizes that the user is an adult when the calculated age is greater than or equal to a preset age, and recognizes that the user is a child when the calculated age is less than the preset age. .

  When the CPU 21 recognizes that the user is an adult, the CPU 21 adopts the first fee calculation algorithm for calculating the adult fee as the fee calculation algorithm used for calculating the fee. The CPU 21 calculates a fee by the first fee calculation algorithm based on the entrance information associated with the account and the exit information transmitted from the ticket gate 4. Specifically, the CPU 21 calculates a fare from the entry station indicated by the entry information to the entry station indicated by the entry information using the first fee calculation algorithm.

  Further, when the CPU 21 recognizes that the user is a child, the CPU 21 employs the second fee calculation algorithm for calculating the child fee as the fee calculation algorithm used for calculating the fee. The CPU 21 calculates a fee by the second fee calculation algorithm based on the entrance information associated with the account and the exit information transmitted from the ticket gate 4. Specifically, the CPU 21 calculates a fare from the entry station indicated by the entry information to the entry station indicated by the entry information using the second fee calculation algorithm.

  Next, the CPU 21 settles the calculated fee. The CPU 21 performs processing related to the charge calculated by the above processing based on the extracted payment information of the account. For example, the CPU 21 recognizes the payment method based on the extracted payment information of the account. Specifically, when the payment information is account information, the CPU 21 performs processing for debiting the fee from the account. When the payment information is credit card information, the CPU 21 performs processing for charging the fee to the credit card company. If the payment information is prepaid information, a process for deducting the charge from the balance indicated by the prepaid information is performed.

  Next, the CPU 21 performs traffic determination. CPU21 judges that a user's passage is permitted, when the process regarding said claim is normally performed. Moreover, CPU21 judges that a user's passage is not permitted, when the process regarding said claim is not performed normally. For example, when allowing the user to pass, the CPU 21 transmits OK to the ticket gate 4 as a result of the traffic determination. When allowing the user to pass, the CPU 21 transmits OK to the ticket gate 4 as the result of the traffic determination. When it is determined that the user's traffic is not permitted, NG is transmitted to the ticket gate 4 as a result of the traffic determination.

  When the CPU 41 of the ticket gate 4 (that is, the second ticket gate 4B) that performs the ticket gate process on the entry side receives the traffic determination result from the server 3, the CPU 41 operates the door opening / closing unit 46 according to the received traffic determination result. For example, the CPU 41 controls the door opening / closing unit 46 to open the door 32 when an OK traffic determination result is received from the server 3. Further, when the CPU 41 receives the NG traffic determination result from the server 3, the CPU 41 controls the door opening / closing unit 46 to close the door 32.

  As described above, the server 3 in the account-type ticket gate system 1 includes an account including at least identification information and personal information, the first fee calculation algorithm, and the second fee calculation algorithm that is cheaper than the first fee calculation algorithm.

The server 3 acquires the identification information of the ticket medium possessed by the user by the communication unit 25, and the CPU 21 extracts the account corresponding to the acquired identification information. The server 3 uses the CPU 21 to select either the first fee calculation algorithm or the second fee calculation algorithm according to the extracted personal information of the account.

Thereby, in the account type ticket gate system 1, the charge calculation algorithm used for calculating the charge can be switched according to the personal information. As a result, a highly convenient fee calculation server and fee calculation program can be provided.

  In addition, the ticket gate 4 in the account type ticket gate system 1 acquires identification information from the ticket medium at the time of entrance, and transmits the acquired identification information and entrance information to the server 3. In addition, the ticket gate 4 acquires identification information from the ticket medium at the time of participation, and transmits the acquired identification information and participation information to the server 3. When the server 3 acquires the identification information and the entrance information, the CPU 21 associates the entrance information with the account corresponding to the acquired identification information. Further, when the server 3 acquires the identification information and the participation information, the CPU 21 executes the selected fee calculation algorithm, thereby calculating the fare from the entry station indicated by the entry information to the entry station indicated by the entry information. Thereby, in the account type ticket gate system 1, the charge calculation algorithm used for calculating the charge from the entrance station to the exit station can be switched according to the personal information. As a result, a more convenient fee calculation server and fee calculation program can be provided.

  The server 3 in the account-type ticket gate system 1 stores at least the date of birth of the user as personal information, stores a charge calculation algorithm for calculating a charge for adults as a first charge calculation algorithm, The charge calculation algorithm for calculating the charge for children is stored as the charge calculation algorithm of No. 2. The server 3 calculates the age of the user according to the date of birth of the account corresponding to the acquired identification information, and if the calculated age is equal to or higher than a preset age, selects the first fee calculation algorithm. If the calculated age is less than the preset age, the second fee calculation algorithm is selected. Thereby, in the account type ticket gate system 1, the charge calculation algorithm used for calculating the charge can be switched according to the current age of the user. As a result, a highly convenient fee calculation server and fee calculation program can be provided.
