[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate, and more particularly to an automatic ticket gate with improved guideability to a user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of automatic ticket gate is inserted when a ticket such as a ticket, a commuter pass, or a prepaid card is inserted into a main body of the automatic ticket gate (hereinafter referred to as a main body). The data recorded on the tickets thus read is read and used for the ticket gate calculation. Then, depending on the result of the arithmetic processing, the door is opened so that the user can pass through the ticket gate passage, or the door is closed so as to block the passage.

[0003] The main body is provided with a sensor such as a photo sensor for detecting the position of a user (passenger) in the ticket gate passage. In addition, the door is closed, and a user is notified from a display or a speaker provided in the main body that the ticket cannot be gated.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned conventional automatic ticket gate is provided with a display and a speaker to guide the user, but since the display is provided on the exit side, There is an inconvenience that it is difficult to read the characters displayed there, and that only one speaker is provided in the middle of the main body, and that it is difficult to hear at the ticket gate where noise is intense.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic ticket gate that can clearly guide a user even at a ticket gate where noise is intense. It is in.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, an automatic ticket gate according to the present invention provides an automatic ticket gate which performs an arithmetic processing based on data recorded on tickets and performs an automatic ticket gate. A sensor for detecting the position of the user in the ticket gate ,
A plurality of speakers provided in the front Stories body at a distance of, the speaker selection means for driving select the speakers that corresponds to the user position or al the sensor detects one of the plurality of speakers It is characterized by having.

[0008]

[Action] In the above structure, from among the plurality of the scan peak mosquito
Speaker drive is dynamic, which is selected corresponding to the user position
Is, the guidance to the interest for the user through the selected speaker.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automatic ticket gate according to one embodiment. The automatic ticket gate processing operation of the automatic ticket gate of the main body a is the same as that of a well-known automatic ticket gate that is frequently used at present. An arithmetic process is performed based on the data recorded on the tickets and the like by a controller C comprising a microcomputer provided in the main body 1, and the arithmetic result can be permitted to pass through the ticket gate passage P. Sometimes door D ₁
Opens, also operates in the door D ₁ is closed as when it can not allow its passage. When it is necessary to return the tickets to the user, the tickets are discharged from the outlet 2. In FIG, D ₂ is a door that is provided on the inlet side, a door main body a is closed by the attendant during operation stopped.

In the drawing, S ₁ and S ₁ ′ are sensors on the entrance side of the ticket gate P provided in the main body a and the arm 3,
_Reference numerals ₂ and S ₂ ′ denote central sensors, and reference numerals S ₃ and S ₃ ′ denote exit-side sensors, which are provided similarly to a conventional automatic ticket gate. When detected by the upper and lower two sensors, the user is determined to be an adult user, and when detected by the lower sensor (the sensor marked with '), the user is determined to be a child user. In the following description, an adult user will be described as an example.

In the figure, P _{1 to} P ₃ denote ticket gate passages P of the main body a.
Along the direction of travel of the
That is, the speakers provided at the entrance, the center, and the exit of the ticket gate passage , respectively.
In contrast, a plurality (three in the illustrated example) are provided in the automatic ticket gate according to the present embodiment.

FIG. 2 shows each of the sensors S ₁ , S ₁ ′,
S _2, S ₂ is an electric circuit diagram showing the relationship between the speakers and the _{', S 3, S 3'} .

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a voice guidance generating circuit,
It is included in the controller C. When the controller C detects a billless person, it indicates that it cannot pass, and when it detects an invalid ticket, it indicates that the tickets are invalid. Voice guidance is stored in advance.

Each speaker P ₁ -P ₃ is connected to each sensor S ₁ ,
_{S 1 ', S 2, S} 2', S 3, ( in FIG. 2, for convenience, the sign of the switches are combined with the sign of the sensor.) S ₃ switches corresponding respectively to the 'voice guidance generator via 10 is connected.

In the automatic ticket gate configured as described above, for example,
Even if the user is detected by the sensors S ₁ and S ₁ ′, the insertion slot 1
When there is no insertion of the ticket such to the voice guidance to the effect that to insert a ticket from the speaker P ₁ is carried out.

When the user is detected by the sensors S ₂ and S ₂ ′, voice guidance such as the fact that the ticket is returned from the speaker P ₂ is provided.

Further, when a user is detected by the sensors S ₃ and S ₃ ′ and no tickets are taken out of the outlet 2, voice guidance is given to the effect that forgetting to take a ticket has occurred.

Since any of the above-mentioned voice guidance is performed from the speaker closest to the user, the user can sufficiently hear the ticket gate even when the ticket gate is noisy.

In the above-described embodiment, the number of user detection positions is three, and three speakers are used. However, the number of speakers may be increased.

[0020]

[Effect of the Invention] The automatic ticket gate according to the present invention is a sensor that detects a user position in a ticket gate passage in an automatic ticket gate that performs arithmetic processing based on data recorded in tickets and performs automatic ticket inspection. Along the direction of travel of the ticket gate ,
And a speaker to drive by selecting a plurality of speakers provided in the prior SL body with a predetermined interval, a speaker who corresponds to the user position or al the sensor detects one of the plurality of speakers Because of the selection means, the user can sufficiently hear the voice guidance even at a ticket gate where noise is intense.
