Allow the power of joint control means and, automatic ticket gate body for the upper Symbol Contact
It is characterized by providing a return means to return the ticket that has been inserted, to.

[0006]

[Action] In the above structure, as a result of calculating the data of the ticket which is inserted into the body, if it meets the descending car conditions of their own line, that is, participation possible in the contact station at the ticket, transit Control means that the ticket satisfies the conditions ahead of other carriers
Even if you do not , control to open the contact and allow the user to pass. The return means returns the inserted ticket from the main body. That the returned ticket is a line that you transfer, that is, as a material to identify the car station riding in third-party lines, is needed use at checkout processing of the third-party line.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an automatic ticket gate according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an automatic ticket gate according to one embodiment. A well-known transport mechanism 3 driven by a motor M is disposed between an insertion slot 1 and a discharge slot 2 of a main body a. ing. The transport mechanism 3 is composed of an alignment transport path 4 and a main transport path 5, wherein the alignment transport path 4 has a function of aligning the ticket a inserted from the insertion slot 1,
The main transport path 5 includes a magnetic head H1 for reading magnetic data recorded on the ticket A in the transport path,
The magnetic data read by this magnetic head is subjected to arithmetic processing by a controller c mainly composed of a microcomputer, and a magnetic head H2 for writing the arithmetic result and a magnetic head H2 for determining whether or not the data has been normally written. And a magnetic head H3 for reading. In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a door provided on a side surface of the main body a and opened and closed so as to permit or prevent passage of the communication port based on a calculation result of the controller c.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the controller c. The controller c mainly includes a central processing unit (CPU) 22 that performs arithmetic processing based on a system program stored in a ROM 20 and working data stored in a RAM 21. This CPU2
2 via the I / O unit 23, each magnetic head H
A read / write (R / W) driver 24 for 1 to H3;
A door driver 25 that drives the door 6 is connected. The I / O unit 23 is connected to a driver of the motor M and drivers (not shown) such as a punching unit and a print head, which are not necessary for the description of the present invention. is there.

Next, the operation of the main body a will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Now, it is assumed that the user is going to board from the instep A station of the company's own line, transfer at station A, which is a connecting station with the other company's line, and go to Otsu station of the other company's line. Therefore, the entrance data of the ticket a held by the user is recorded by the automatic ticket gate installed at the station A.

[0010] The user who gets off at the station A of the company line,
The ticket A is inserted into the insertion slot 1 of the main body a installed at the communication port of the station (Yes at Step 100. Hereinafter, Step S will be described).
And ). The data recorded on the inserted ticket A is read by the magnetic head H1, and the read data is subjected to arithmetic processing of the CPU 22 (S102). As a result of the arithmetic processing, when it is determined that the ticket A is a communication ticket, that is, the ticket A satisfies the boarding conditions from the Kou station on the own line to the A station, and from the A station on the other company line to the Otsu station. Is satisfied (Yes at S104), the door 6 is opened until the passenger passes (when the main body a is the normally open type, the open state is maintained) (S106, S10)
8 affirmative, S110). Then, after entry data is written on the inserted ticket A by the magnetic head H2, the write state is confirmed by the magnetic head H3, and then returned from the return port 2.

If the result of the calculation based on the data of the inserted ticket A is not a contact ticket but satisfies the condition for boarding to the station A, the same processing as the above-mentioned valid contact ticket is performed. (No at S104, Yes at S112). Therefore, the user can use the main body a to get on another company's line and go to Otsu Station. At Otsu Station, you will enter after having settled the account, but the settlement process may be performed using the ticket A to be collected at Station A on the company's own line, that is, certifying that you have boarded from Station A. it can. Therefore, the conventional inconvenience of having to transfer after purchasing a ticket for another company's line even if the ticket for the company's line only satisfies the boarding conditions to the transfer station for the company's own line can be solved.

If the inserted ticket A does not satisfy the conditions for boarding from the station A to the station A, it is not shown in the flowchart of FIG. Participation is also refused at machine b. Therefore, it is necessary for the customer to perform necessary procedures such as settlement at Station A (S
112 No, S114).

In the above-described example, an example is shown in which a transfer is made from a company line to another company line. Conversely, a case in which a transfer is made from another company line to a company line is performed in exactly the same manner.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention] The automatic ticket gate for communication according to the invention is calculated
If the result satisfies the conditions for getting off on your own line,
Even if you do not meet the prospective conditions of
