Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate, and more particularly to a ticket in a route configuration that has a station shared with another company's line, and that can be transited at other company's line stations and stations on its own line. The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate capable of determining the use state of a ticket gate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional automatic ticket gate, a ticket inserted into an automatic ticket gate main body (hereinafter referred to as a main body) is used when entering a ticket gate (hereinafter, referred to as a main body). ), Hand the ticket to the passenger (passenger), drive the door to allow entry, and when entering (ticketing), enter the entry data from the inserted ticket. Is read, and if a calculation result based on the data can be entered, the ticket is collected (returned in the case of a commuter pass) and the door is driven to permit entry. .

[0003]

However, since the above-mentioned conventional automatic ticket gate performs arithmetic processing using only data at the time of entry at the time of entry, there is a disadvantage that it is not possible to judge an unauthorized ride to a station halfway.

[0004] For example, as shown in some lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area shown in Fig. 4, one of the stations of the company line and the other company line is a shared use station, and the other station of the company line and the other company line. In the case where a transit ride is possible with one another, there is a risk that an illegal ride may be made.

[0005] More specifically, referring to Fig. 4, the company line is a line connecting the company line A station and the station C, and the number of stations (E1 to En) is small, and high-speed operation is performed between these stations. ,
The ride time is 40 minutes and the fare is 700 yen.

[0006] The other company's line has a line from station A to station B on the way from its own station C, and this line has the number of stations (D2 to D2).
Dn) is often operated at low speed, so the required time between Station A and Station B is 40 minutes, and the fee is 400 yen. Also, assuming that the required time between B station and C station on the company's own line is 10 minutes and 200 yen, the required time from station A to B station is 5 using another company's line.
In 0 minutes (not including transit time), the fee is 600 yen.

For this reason, the user of the station A and the station (D1) of the other company line before the station A, when going to the station C,
There is a possibility that station A to station B will have its own line from station A to station B, even though a connecting ticket using another company's line has been purchased. Such improper use can also occur when a passenger on a line of another company near the station A, for example, a user of D2, gets back to the station A and uses the company's own line. Such an improper ride may similarly occur when going from station C to station A.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, and its purpose is to determine the use state of a ticket and determine whether or not the ticket has been used normally. It is to provide an automatic ticket gate that can be used.

[0009]

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 includes an alignment transport path 4 and a main transport path 5.
The alignment transport path 4 has a function of arranging tickets C (hereinafter, referred to as a card including these cards) such as commuter passes, ordinary tickets, and coupons inserted from the insertion slot 1. The main transport path 5 includes a magnetic head H1 for reading magnetic data recorded on the card C in the transport path, and a microcomputer that reads the magnetic data read by the magnetic head. The controller b has a magnetic head H2 for writing the result of the calculation to the card C and a verifying magnetic head H3 for reading whether or not the data has been written normally. . 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 through the ticket gate passage based on the calculation result of the controller b.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the controller b. This controller b carries out each means of the present invention.
The central processing unit (CPU) 22 that performs arithmetic processing based on a system program stored in the ROM 20 and working data stored in the RAM 21 is mainly configured. A read / write (R / W) driver 24 for each of the magnetic heads H1 to H3 and a door driver 25 for driving the door 6 are connected to the CPU 22 via an I / O unit 23.

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.
It is omitted because it is not necessary for the explanation of the present invention.

Next, the operation of the automatic ticket gate will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Now, it is assumed that the customer is about to enter the card C by inserting the card C into the insertion slot 1 of the main body a. Of course, when the customer enters the card C, entry data is recorded by the main body a installed at another station (Yes at Step 100, Yes at Step 102; hereinafter, the step is referred to as S). .

First, data recorded on the inserted card C is read by the magnetic head H1. And CP
U22 performs an operation for determining whether participation can be permitted based on the read data. In this operation, the card C is a communication ticket, and it is necessary to determine the communication state. It is determined whether or not (S106). The necessity of this determination will be described with reference to FIG. 4. The range in which the illegal ticket is taken with the communication ticket is the station A, the station (D1) of the other company line in front of the station A, and the station A of the other company line. The above range may be a range of contact tickets that would benefit from using the company line. Therefore, when entering at station C, it is not necessary to check the contact and boarding status of the card C other than the contact ticket of the card C entered from this range. A normal bid collection process is performed to determine whether or not the condition is satisfied (No at S106).

When the boarding station is within the range of determination, it is determined whether or not the card C is a commuter pass. If the commuter pass is a commuter pass, it is determined whether the boarding station has entered from a station on the company line including the connecting station. It is determined whether or not it is (Yes at S108, S110). If the determination is affirmative (S110), it means that the commuter pass is an admission from the connecting station and a station within the effective range of the company line, and it is a normal use of the commuter pass. 6 is driven by the door driver 25, and the passenger of the commuter pass is allowed to participate. In addition, if there is entrance data at the connecting station or a station other than the effective range of the company line despite the fact that it is a commuter pass (No at S110), it is necessary to settle due to abnormal use of the commuter pass. Yes, in this case, abnormal processing is performed (S118).

If the card C is not a commuter pass, that is, if it is an ordinary ticket for communication (No at S108, Yes at S114), if there is entry data of the communication station on the ticket, the transfer was performed at the communication station. Therefore, in this case, it is determined that the device is used normally (Yes in S116). Therefore, when the normal use is determined in this way, the ordinary ticket for communication is collected, and the door 6 is driven so as to allow the passenger to pass.

However, if the admission data of the ordinary ticket for communication is a shared station such as A, D1 or D2 in FIG.
Alternatively, in the case of a station only on another company's line, the customer purchases a low-priced contact ticket and uses the in-house line, which requires less time, with the ticket, so that the door 6
Is driven so as to block the passage of the passenger, and abnormal processing is performed (S118).

As described above, the automatic ticket gates according to the present embodiment are arranged so that, when the card C is a contact ticket, the entrance data of the contact station (when the card C is a commuter pass, the station Is detected, and the drive of the door 6 is controlled based on whether or not a proper transit has been performed, so that illegal riding can be effectively prevented.

In the above-described example, the card C is an example of a communication commuter pass and a communication ordinary ticket. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to a communication coupon.
