DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ticket issuing apparatus which prints setting information on a single ticket sheet formed by cutting a continuous ticket sheet and issues a boarding pass or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In FIG. 4, a ticket issuing apparatus includes a feeding means 2, a cutting means 4, a conveying means 5, a reading means 6, a printing means 7, a issuing unit 8 and the like which are built in or detachable from a main body 1. , So that tickets can be issued.

The feeding means 2 comprises a plurality (three) of bins 2A,
2B, 2C, and the continuous ticket papers Pa, Pb, Pc stored in the bins 2A, 2B, 2C are selectively fed into the main body 1. The cutting means 4 cuts each of the fed continuous ticket papers Pa, Pb, Pc, and outputs the single ticket papers (CPa, CPa).
Pb, CPc). The transporting means 5 includes transporting rollers 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d disposed at various places, and transports the single ticket paper CPi to the reading means 6, the printing means 7, and the issuing unit 8 in a predetermined procedure. is there.

The reading means 6 reads stored information (for example, ticket type, serial No., etc.) stored in the single ticket paper CPi conveyed by the conveying means 5, and includes a magnetic reading method and an optical reading method. It is a method. That is, the read storage information is compared with the check data based on the ticketing request data to determine whether a ticket to be issued (for example, a boarding pass) is appropriate for the airline (ticket type). Used for The reading means 6
Is provided with a writing means, and the single note paper C determined to be appropriate
Setting information (for example, seat designation, etc.) can be written and stored in Pi. Further, the printing means 7 prints the setting information in a legible manner on the single ticket paper CPi determined to be appropriate, and creates a boarding pass. This boarding pass is issued from the issuing unit 8.

In such a ticket issuing device, when there is a ticket issuing command,
The feeding means 2 operates to feed the continuous ticket paper Pa in the bin (for example, 2A) (ST20 in FIG. 5). Continuous ticket paper P
The sheet is fed until the leading end of a is engaged with the transport roller 5b shown in FIG. Then, the trailing end is cut by the cutting means 4 to form the single note paper CPa (ST21). Continued,
The single ticket paper CPa is conveyed to the reading means 6 by the conveying means 5 (conveying roller 5b) (ST22). After the conveyance of the single ticket paper (CPi) is started, the next continuous ticket paper (Pi) can be fed.

[0006] When the storage information of the single ticket paper CPa is read by the reading means 6 (ST30 in FIG. 6), the comparison and discrimination means compares the read storage information with the check data, and checks the single ticket paper CPa. It is determined whether or not the CPa is appropriate as a ticket to be issued (ST32). If it is determined that it is appropriate (YES in ST32), the printing means 7
Prints the setting information on the single note paper CPa (ST33) and issues a ticket from the issuing unit 8 (ST34). If determined to be inappropriate (NO in ST32), the single ticket paper CPa
Is discharged to the loss box 9 between, for example, the transport roller 5d and the issuing unit 8 without setting information being printed and passing through the printing means 7 (ST35).

Here, when the continuous ticket paper Pa in the bin 2A is selected as the preceding continuous ticket paper (Pa), feeding and cutting of the continuous ticket paper Pa, reading of the single ticket paper CPa,
Printing is a flow shown in FIG. 7A in which the horizontal axis represents time. Therefore, after the previous continuous ticket paper Pa is cut (ST21 in FIG. 5), the next continuous ticket paper (Pi) is fed. When the next continuous ticket paper (Pa) is stored in the same bin 2A as the previous one, the flow is as shown in (B1), and the continuous ticket paper (Pb) stored in the different bin 2B is used. In some cases, the flow is as shown in (B2).

Thus, the boarding pass of each airline can be issued accurately and promptly in the order of the designated ticketing request. A boarding pass of a ticket type corresponding to the number of bins (2A, 2B, 2C) can be issued. That is, since the continuous ticket paper (Pi) fed by the feeding means 2 is formed to be cut immediately after the feeding is completed, the ticket type of the single ticket paper (boarding pass) to be issued next is first set. Regardless of whether the ticket type is the same as that of the issued ticket paper (boarding pass), the ticket is issued quickly and accurately at the same issue speed as shown in FIGS. 7 (B1) and (B2). can do.

[0009]

However, considering the case where, for example, the fed continuous ticket paper is Pa and the next fed continuous ticket paper is Pb, FIG. Because the preceding single-sheet paper CPa based on the continuous ticket paper Pa fed from the bin 2A was not the predetermined one or the storage information was not accurate, the storage information read by the reading means 6 is the check data. If it is determined that they are inappropriate (NO in ST32 of FIG. 6),
The Pa is discharged to the loss box 9 (ST35), and the next ticket paper CPb based on the continuous ticket paper Pb already fed once from another bin 2B shown in FIG. Unless after passing through the means 7 and discharging to the loss box 9 (ST35), the same bin 2A as before
The regular ticket is not issued by re-feeding the continuous ticket paper Pa stored in the box as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 7 (B2a).

Therefore, even if the stored information of the portion corresponding to the single ticket paper CPb of the next continuous ticket paper Pb once fed is accurate, the portion is wasted. Further, considering the case where the next single ticket paper CPb is cut and formed from the continuous ticket paper Pb stored in the bin 2B based on the next ticket issuing request, for example, the serial No. in the storage information of the single ticket paper CPb is considered. Becomes discontinuous,
There is a problem that the comparison work and the processing work with the check data are troublesome, resulting in wasted time.

That is, if the ticket type of the preceding ticket paper (CPa) is different from the ticket type of the next ticket paper (CPb) and the preceding ticket paper (CPa) is inappropriate, the following One ticket paper (CPb) is wasted. Also, a single ticket paper (CPa) of the same ticket type as the previous single ticket paper (CPa)
Even if it is constructed to shorten the time difference T1 shown in FIG. 7 until the ticket is reissued using a), the dead time for the next single ticket paper (CPb) having a different ticket type is longer. If it does, the quick ticketing work as a whole will be hindered.

[0012] The above-mentioned problems are more likely to occur as the number of installed bottles increases, so that technical limitations when attempting to issue multiple types of boarding passes of different ticket types with one device. Is becoming an issue. For example, it is not possible to accurately and quickly issue tickets from various airlines in response to requests from many travel agents.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a ticket issuing apparatus capable of issuing a ticket as a whole more accurately and quickly while eliminating waste of the next single bill sheet having correct stored information and wasted time required for processing the same. It is in.

[0014]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a continuous ticket which, when it is determined that the preceding single-sheet paper is inappropriate, is to be the next single-sheet paper which has already been fed and has a different ticket type. By returning the paper to the bin and collecting it, wasteful use of the continuous ticket paper is prevented, and after the return and collection, the continuous ticket paper of the same ticket type as the previous single ticket paper is fed again and the same The same ticket paper is re-cut and formed so that a regular ticket can be issued quickly, and if it is determined that the preceding ticket paper is appropriate, the next continuous ticket paper that has already been fed once Irrespective of the ticket type, the sheet is immediately cut to form a single ticket sheet, so that the next ticket can be issued quickly.

That is, in the ticket issuing apparatus according to the present invention, the continuous ticket paper fed from each bin into the main body by the feeding means is cut into single ticket paper by the cutting means, and the cut single ticket paper is formed. In addition, the storage information stored in the storage device is read using a reading unit, and the read / stored information is determined as to whether or not the read / stored information is appropriate. In the ticket issuing apparatus formed so that the next continuous ticket paper can be fed after the previous single ticket paper is cut and formed, the continuous ticket paper once fed into the main body by the feeding means is provided. The same / non-identity determining means formed so as to be capable of being returned to the bin and determining whether or not the continuous paper sheet fed earlier in the main body is the same as the continuous paper sheet fed next; and the reading means The read storage information of the single note paper read in Cutting drive control means for driving and controlling the cutting means so as to immediately cut the next continuous sheet paper once fed into the main body, on condition that it is determined that the single sheet has been read by the reading means. The next continuous ticket sheet once fed into the main body is returned to the bin on the condition that the read and stored information of the sheet is determined to be inappropriate and the same / non-identity determination unit determines that the information is not the same. Return drive control means for driving and controlling the feeding means so as to feed the paper.

[0016]

In the case of the present invention having the above structure, when the preceding single note paper is conveyed in the direction of the reading means, the feeding means feeds the next continuous ticket paper. However, the continuous ticket paper is not immediately cut. Here, the similarity determination means determines whether or not the previous single note paper, that is, the previous continuous ticket paper and the next fed continuous ticket paper have been stored in the same bin.

If it is determined that the read and stored information on the single ticket paper is appropriate, the cutting drive control means controls the driving of the cutting means so that the next continuous ticket paper that has already been fed can be used. Disconnect immediately regardless of whether the types are the same. Therefore, tickets can be issued continuously using the next continuous ticket paper fed from an arbitrary bin.

However, if the previous single note paper is determined to be inappropriate and the same / non-identifying means determines that the type of the previous continuous note paper and the next continuous note paper are different, the cutting drive control means Instead, the return drive control means operates instead. That is, the next continuous sheet paper once fed into the main body is returned to the bin by operating the feeding means in reverse. Therefore, the next single ticket paper having a different ticket type from the previous single ticket paper determined to be inappropriate is not cut and formed, and the continuous ticket paper can be collected in the bin. Can be wiped out.

[0019]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The basic structure and function of this ticket issuing apparatus are the same as those of the conventional example (FIG. 4).
6) except that the continuous ticket paper (for example, Pb) once fed with the feeding means 2 into the main body 1 is formed so as to be able to be fed back to the bin (2B). And the cutting drive control means (1).
1, 12) and return drive control means (11, 12), and the ticket types of the preceding continuous ticket paper (for example, Pa) and the next continuous ticket paper (for example, Pb) are different, and the preceding single ticket is different. If it is determined that the paper (CPa) is inappropriate, the next continuous ticket paper (Pb) once fed is returned to the bin (2B) for collection, and the previous single paper (CPa) is collected. )
Is determined to be appropriate, the next continuous ticket paper (Pi) that has already been fed once is immediately cut regardless of the ticket type, and the ticket is continuously and promptly issued.

In FIG. 1, a control unit 10 includes a CPU 1
1, drive control of the whole apparatus including a ROM 12, a RAM 13, an interface (I / F) 14 connected to a plurality of host computers 20 via a data communication line 15, a keyboard (KB) 16, and the like. The control unit 10 includes feed motors 3AM for the feed rollers 3A, 3B, and 3C,
Driver (DRV) 3AD, 3B for 3BM, 3CM
D, 3CD, a driver (DRV) 5D for the transport motor 5M common to the transport rollers 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, a read control circuit (ENCRD) 6E for forming the reading means 6 together with the read head 6H, and a print head. 7H together with a driver (DRV) 7 forming the printing means 7.

Here, the feeding means 2 comprises feeding motors 3AM, 3B connected to feeding rollers 3A, 3B, 3C mounted on a plurality of (three) bins 2A, 2B, 2C, respectively.
By selectively applying a feed signal to the M, 3CM drivers 3AD, 3BD, 3CD, the bins 2A, 2B, 2
The continuous ticket papers Pa, Pb, and Pc in C can be fed into the main body 1 and each of the continuous ticket papers Pa, Pb, and Pc once fed is returned by selectively adding a return feed signal. And can be collected in the bins 2A, 2B, 2C.

The transport control means and the feed control means formed from the CPU 11 and the ROM 12 cut the fed continuous paper (Pi) by the cutting means 4 (ST12, ST16 in FIG. 2). FIG. 4 shows the single ticket paper (CPi) cut and formed by this, conveyed in the direction of the reading means 6 (ST17), and the continuous ticket paper (Pi) from the bin (2i) selected next. The sheet is fed (ST10) until it is engaged with the transport roller 5b.

The controller 10 receives and issues ticketing request data and a ticketing request signal from each host computer 20. The ticketing request data includes an airline name (may be a bin number or a serial ticket paper name), the number of issued tickets, and the like. Also, check data including the ticket type and the like of the continuous ticket paper (Pi) is generated based on the ticket issuing request data. The setting information such as the seat designation may be entered by the keyboard 16 or transmitted and input from each host computer 20 as a part of the ticketing request data.

The reading means 6 (6H, 6E) reads stored information, such as a ticket type, magnetically written and stored on the conveyed single note paper (CPi) (ST30 in FIG. 6). The read storage information is temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 13 like the setting information described above. Also, the reading means 6
Is provided with a writing means, and a comparison determining means (CPU 11, R
OM12) determines that it is appropriate (ST in FIG. 6).
31, YES in ST32), the setting information can be magnetically written and stored in the single note paper (CPi).
The printing means 7 prints this in a readable manner (ST3).
3).

Here, the pass / fail determination means determines whether the continuous ticket paper (for example, Pa) previously fed into the main body 1 is the same as the continuous ticket paper (for example, Pb) once fed. This is a means for determining whether or not it is formed by the CPU 11 and the ROM 12, and is executed in ST13 of FIG. Specifically, it is based on ticketing request data.

Next, the cutting drive control means determines that the read and stored information of the single note paper (CPi) read by the reading means 6 is appropriate by the comparison and determination means (11, 12) [FIG. YES at ST11 (Y at ST32 in FIG. 6)
ES)], on the condition that the cutting means 4 is driven and controlled so as to immediately cut the next continuous ticket paper (Pi) which has already been fed into the main body 1.
12 and is executed in ST12 of FIG.

In other words, when the previous single note paper (CPi) is judged to be inappropriate by the comparing and judging means (11, 12) (NO in ST11 of FIG. 2), the next once fed sheet is fed. The continuous ticket paper (Pi) is held without being cut automatically as in the conventional example, and is held as described above to determine whether the previous single ticket paper (continuous paper) is the same as the next temporarily fed continuous ticket paper. It is configured to take measures after waiting for the determination result of the rejection determination means (11, 12).

That is, the preceding continuous ticket paper (for example, Pa)
Is the same as the next continuous ticket paper Pa (YE in ST13)
In S), the ticket is not completed due to the inappropriateness of the single ticket paper CPa, so the next continuous ticket paper Pa of the same ticket type is used.
Is cut immediately (ST16) and the same single-sheet paper CPa as before is cut.
Is formed and transported (ST17). However, if they are not the same (NO in ST13), the return drive control means is activated.

That is, the return drive control means causes the comparison discriminating means (11, 12) to output the preceding single note paper (for example, C
Pa) is determined to be inappropriate (NO in ST11 in FIG. 2)
In addition, the continuous ticket paper Pa, which is the basis of the single ticket paper CPa, and the next continuous ticket paper (for example, Pb) that has already been fed are not the same by the same / not recognizing means (11, 12). On the condition that the determination is made (NO in ST13), the CPU is a means for controlling the driving of the feeding means 2 so as to return the next continuous ticket paper Pb to the corresponding bin 2B.
11 and the ROM 12, which is executed in ST14 of FIG. The feed roller 3B is rotated in the reverse direction and collected in the bin 2B.

It should be noted that it is determined to be inappropriate (N in ST11 in FIG. 2).
O (NO in ST32 in FIG. 6)], the single ticket paper CPa is discharged to the loss box 9 through the printing means 7 by the transport means 5 (5c) (ST3 in FIG. 6).
5). In such a case, reissue ticket control means (CPU 11, RO
M12) re-feeds the next continuous ticket paper Pa that is the same as the single ticket paper CPa (continuous ticket paper Pa) (ST15 in FIG. 2). Further, in this case, since the ticket is a reissued ticket (authorized issuance), the re-fed continuous ticket paper Pa is immediately cut (ST1).
6), and the single ticket paper CPa is immediately conveyed to the reading means 6 (ST17).

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. From the same or different host computer, first bin 2A
Issuance request data relating to the continuous ticket paper Pa stored in the bin 2B (or 2).
When ticketing request data relating to the continuous ticket paper Pb (or Pa) stored in A) is transmitted and input, that is, the previous continuous ticket paper (single ticket paper) is Pa (CPa) and the next continuous ticket paper is transmitted. Is Pb (or Pa).

The CPU 11 sends a feed signal to the driver 3AD to rotate the feed motor 3AM to rotate the feed roller 3A of the bin 2A, as in the case of the conventional example, and to feed the previous continuous ticket paper Pa to the leading end. Are temporarily fed until they are engaged with the transport roller 5b disposed in front of the reading means 6 (ST20 in FIG. 5). Subsequently, since it is the first time, the cutting means 4 is immediately operated to cut and form the single note paper CPa (ST2).
1). The ticket paper CPa is immediately conveyed to the reading means 6 by the conveying means 5 (5b) (ST22).

Then, the stored information is read by the reading means 6 (ST30 in FIG. 6), and the comparing and determining means (11, 1) is read.
The check data is compared with the check data in step 2) (ST31), and it is determined whether the check data is appropriate for the ticketing request data (YES in ST32). If it is determined that the setting information is appropriate (YES in ST32), the setting information is magnetically written and stored and printed so as to be readable by the printing means 7 (ST33), and thereafter the ticket is issued from the issuing unit 8 (ST34). . However, if it is determined to be inappropriate (S
(NO in T32) is passed through the printing means 7 by the transport means 5 (5C) and discharged to the loss box 9 (ST3).
5). The above flow is as shown in FIG. 3A displayed corresponding to FIG. 7A.

Here, the previous continuous ticket paper Pa is cut (FIG. 5).
(ST21), the CPU 11 immediately sends a feed signal to the driver 3BD (or 3AD) to rotate the feed motor 3BM (or 3AM). That is, the feed roller 3B (or 3A) of the bin 2B (or 2A) is rotated, and the next continuous ticket paper Pb (or Pa) is
As shown in (B2) [or (B1)], the paper is already fed once [ST10 in FIG. 2 (ST20 in FIG. 5)]. Until this stage, there is no difference whether the next continuous ticket paper Pi is Pb shown in FIG. 3B2 or Pa in the bin 2A shown in FIG. 3B.

However, when the next continuous ticket paper fed once is Pb, it is determined by the comparing and determining means (11, 12) that the preceding ticket paper CPa is inappropriate (NO in ST11 in FIG. 2). (NO in ST32 in FIG. 6)], and it is determined by the same / not recognizing means (11, 12) that the preceding continuous ticket paper Pa (single ticket paper Pa) is different from the next continuous ticket paper Pb (ST13 in FIG. 2). NO), the return drive control means (1
1,12) work. That is, the CPU 11
Feeding signal is returned to the BD and the feeding motor 3B in the feeding bin 2B
By rotating M (feed roller 3B) in the reverse direction, the next continuous ticket paper Pb once fed is returned and fed back to the bin 2B as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 (B2a). Therefore, it is possible to eliminate wasteful use of one ticket paper (CPb).

In this case, since the issuance of the previous continuous ticket paper Pa (single ticket paper CPa) has not been completed, when the return and collection of the next continuous ticket paper Pb is completed, the CPU 11 again returns to the paper feed roller 3A. Is rotated to feed the continuous ticket paper Pa stored in the bin 2A of the same ticket type as the single ticket paper CPa as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3 (B2b) (ST15).
And immediately cut (ST16), and the single note paper CP
a is re-transported to the reading means 6 (ST17).

On the other hand, when the next continuous ticket sheet once fed has the same Pa as the previous continuous ticket sheet, the similarity determination means (1)
Since (1, 12) determines YES in ST13 of FIG. 2, the next continuous ticket paper Pa already fed once is immediately cut off (ST16) as shown in FIG. Re-transport (ST17) and issues a regular boarding pass (ST33, 34 in FIG. 6). In other words, the previous ticket paper CP
If a is determined to be inappropriate (abnormal), the same continuous ticket paper Pa that has already been fed once can be immediately cut as usual, and tickets can be issued quickly.

Therefore, FIG. 3 (B1) or (B2)
The time difference T2 between the case where the ticket is issued normally as shown in FIG. 7 and the case where the re-feeding shown in the same (B2a) and the re-feeding shown in the same (B2b) is performed and the ticket is reissued is the case of the conventional example shown in FIG. Although the time difference is slightly longer than the time difference T1, the processing work for the comparison and discrimination can be wiped out while preventing waste of one sheet of paper (CPi), so that the ticket issuing speed can be achieved as a whole. Is understood.

Thus, according to this embodiment, the continuous ticket paper (for example, P
b) is formed in the bin (2B) so as to be capable of being returned to the bin (2B), and the same / unnecessary determination means (11, 12), cutting drive control means (11, 12) and return drive control means (11, 12) are provided. Is different from the continuous ticket paper (for example, Pb) once fed and the next single ticket paper (for example, Pb), and is based on the previous continuous ticket paper (Pa).
If it is determined that Pa) is not applicable, the next continuous ticket paper (Pb) once fed and not yet cut is returned and collected in the bin (2B), and the previous single ticket is also collected. If it is determined that the paper (CPa) is appropriate, the next continuous ticket paper (Pi) that has already been fed, regardless of the ticket type, is immediately cut regardless of the ticket type. Since it is configured to be able to convey, read, print, and issue a ticket continuously and promptly, it is possible to eliminate and waste the waste of each single ticket paper (CPi) of the next continuous ticket paper (Pi). Since the processing time required in such a case can be eliminated, it is possible to achieve further overall accuracy and quicker ticketing.

The feeding means 2 is provided with each of the drivers 3AD, 3
Since the next continuous sheet paper (Pi) once fed by adding a return feed signal to the BD and 3CD is returned to the bin (2i) and collected, the control can be implemented at low cost. Easy to handle.

Further, the pass / fail determination means (11, 12) determines whether or not the previous continuous ticket sheet has been fed once and the next continuous ticket sheet based on the ticketing request data transmitted and input from each host computer 20. Since the discrimination is formed, the discrimination can be completed before actually feeding the preceding and next continuous ticket sheets. Therefore, the cutting drive control means and the return drive control means can be executed quickly and accurately, and from this point, ticketing can be further speeded up.

[0042]

According to the present invention, the feeding means is formed such that the continuous ticket paper once fed into the main body can be returned to the bin, and the same / non-identity determining means, the cutting drive control means and the return drive control means are provided. If the ticket type is different between the previous continuous ticket paper and the next continuous ticket paper once fed, and it is determined that the previous single ticket paper based on the previous continuous ticket paper is not applicable Returns the next continuous ticket paper that has been fed once and has not yet been cut back, and collects it in the bin.If it is determined that the previous single ticket paper is appropriate, it is already The next continuous ticket is constructed so that the next continuous ticket paper being fed can be cut immediately regardless of the type of the ticket and can be continuously and promptly transported, read, printed and issued. Eliminate waste of one sheet of paper and no waste It can be achieved and ticketing accelerate the overall greater accuracy since it swept the processing time required when it is simple task.
