For passing the seat data to the user. In this embodiment, the terminal is a magnetic reader 5.

The backrest control type unauthorized use prevention device 6 is provided in each seat, and controls the seat to a usable state or a non-usable state in response to a control signal of the central device 4. As the control method, it is assumed that the backrest cannot be used by tilting the backrest forward and fixed, and the use of freely driving the seatback can be used. In this embodiment, the unauthorized use prevention device is a back control type unauthorized use prevention device 6.

The designated seat ticket 7 with a magnetic material has a magnetic material attached to the back of the designated seat ticket, and the magnetic material is used to record seat data including the date and time of the designated seat, a vehicle name, a seat number, and a use section. belongs to. In this embodiment, the storage medium is a designated seat ticket 7 with a magnetic material.

A user purchases a reserved seat ticket for a target date and time, a train name, and a use section at a counter of a reserved seat ticket counter. The seat data including the date and time of the reserved seat, the train name, the seat number, and the use section are recorded on the magnetic material of the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material by the terminal device of the designated ticket counter when purchasing the reserved seat ticket. At the same time, the seat data is sent from the terminal of the reserved seat ticket counter to the host computer 1 of the central management sensor through a line. The seat data sent from the terminal at the designated ticket counter to the host computer 1 is recorded in the master file 2 as sales master data. The user gets on the target train from the target start section on the target date and time. The user who gets on the train goes to the seat of the number printed on the surface of the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material. The backrest of the seat is tilted forward by the backrest control type unauthorized use prevention device 6 so that the backrest is fixed, that is, in an unusable state. The user inserts the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material into the slot of the magnetic reader 5. When the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material is inserted into the magnetic reader 5, the magnetic reader 5 outputs the seat data including the date and time of the designated seat, the train name, the seat number, and the use section from the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material. Is read. When the seat data cannot be read from the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material, the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material returns from the slot of the magnetic reader 5. The seat data read by the magnetic reader 5 is sent to the central device 4. The central device 4 that has received the seat data from the magnetic reader 5 performs a data check on whether the seat data is legitimate. If the seat data received by the central device 4 is not regular data, the central device 4 issues a return signal to the magnetic reader 5. The magnetic reader 5 that has received the return signal from the central device 4 returns the designated seat ticket 7 with magnetic material from the slot. If the seat data received by the central device 4 is legitimate data, the central device 4 sends the received seat data and the current position of the train to the host computer 1 of the central management sensor through the modem 3. The host computer 1 having received the seat data and the current position of the train from the central device 4 searches the sales master data recorded in the master file 2 based on the received seat data and the current position of the train.
When the host computer 1 searches the sales master data in the master file 2 based on the seat data received from the central unit 4 and the current position of the train, if the sales master data does not exist, the host computer 1 performs data unmatching. The signal is sent to the central unit 4 through the modem 3. The central unit 4 that has received the data unmatch signal from the host computer 1 issues a return signal to the magnetic reader 5. The magnetic reader 5 that has received the return signal from the central device 4 returns the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material from the slot of the magnetic reader 5. When the host computer 1 searches the sales master data in the master file 2 based on the seat data received from the central unit 4 and the current position of the train, if the corresponding sales master data exists, the host computer 1 performs data matching. At the same time as sending the signal to the central unit 4 through the modem 3, the host computer 1 stores the last use station of the use section of the seat data in the memory.
The central device 4 that has received the data match signal from the host computer 1 sends a free control signal to the backrest-controlled unauthorized use prevention device 6, and at the same time, the central device 4 sends a return signal to the magnetic reader 5. The backrest control type unauthorized use prevention device 6, which has received the free signal from the central device 4,
The seat, which has been fixed or unusable by tilting the back of the seat forward, is freely driven or enabled to use the seat back. The magnetic reader that has received the return signal from the central device 4 returns the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material from the return port. The user receives the designated seat ticket 7 with the magnetic material from the return port of the magnetic reader and uses the seat.

The central unit 4 sends the current position of the train to the host computer 1 through the modem 3 every time the train leaves the stop station. The host computer 1 that has received the current position of the train from the central unit 4 sends an end signal to the central unit 4 when there is a designated seat that has passed the last use station. The central device 4 that has received the end signal from the host computer 1 sends a hold signal to the backrest-controlled unauthorized use prevention device 6.
The backrest control type unauthorized use prevention device 6 which receives the hold signal from the central device 4 turns the seat in which the backrest of the seat is freely driven, that is, in a usable state, into a fixed state, ie, in a state where the seat cannot be used, by tilting the seatback forward. I do. When the central device 4 sends a hold signal to the backrest-controllable unauthorized use prevention device 6 but the backrest-controlled unauthorized use prevention device 6 does not become fixed, that is, cannot be used by tilting the backrest of the seat forward. The central unit 4 recognizes the unauthorized use state, and sends an alarm signal to the backrest-controlled unauthorized use prevention device 6 until the backrest-controlled unauthorized use prevention device 6 becomes unusable, thereby controlling the backrest-controlled unauthorized use prevention device. Continue to sound the device's alarm buzzer.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, by automatically managing seats, unauthorized use can be prevented and sales data can be effectively used.
