A commuter pass issuing unit 9 is provided next to the condition setting unit 3 and the CRT display unit 7. The commuter pass issuance unit 9 reads the data (data described on the commuter pass purchase application form) input by the touch panel of the display input unit 2 and the name transfer unit 5 when the commuter pass is actually issued. Part of the image data (the image data in the name entry field)
Record and issue the commuter pass and issue the new commuter pass 9
a, a transfer printing unit is provided as a unit for recording a part of the read image data.

The card reading unit 1 is placed on the commuter pass issuing unit 9.
0 is provided. The card reading unit 10 reads magnetic data (an ID number or a password) of a credit card or a bank card inserted into the insertion slot 10a.

A journal printer 11 and a magnetic disk drive 12 are provided beside the application form reading section 5. The journal printer 11 prints a transaction result on commuter pass release in a journal. The magnetic disk device 12 stores various data relating to commuter pass issuance, for example, the above-described transaction results and fare data on the magnetic disk.

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the control circuit.

The CPU 20 as a main control unit has a memory 2
1, communication control unit 22, image processing unit 23, display input unit 2,
Condition setting section 3, boarding section setting section 4, name transfer section 5, application form reading section 6, CRT display section 7, customer display 8, commuter pass issuing section 9, card reading section 10, journal printer 1.
1 and the magnetic disk drive 12 are connected.

The memory 21 stores a control program and a character pattern for issuing a commuter pass. The communication control unit 22 performs data transmission with an external device using a communication line such as a LAN. The image processing section 23 displays the image data read by the application form reading section 6 on the CRT display section 7.
Image processing of reduction or enlargement is performed in order to match the resolution of.

The CPU 20 has the following main function means.

[1] The image data read by the application form reading section 6 is processed by the image processing section 23, and the processed image data is displayed on a CRT together with input data (data on a commuter pass purchase application form) from an operator (staff). Display means for arranging and displaying on the same screen of the unit 7;

[2] An operator (a staff member) corresponding to a comparison between “data on the commuter pass application form” displayed on the CRT display section 7 and “image data read by the application form reading section 6” ) Correction means for correcting the “data on the commuter pass purchase application form” displayed on the CRT display section 7 based on the input (operation of the display input section 2).

[3] When the start key is turned on (issue start operation) in the condition setting section 3, the commuter pass issuance section 9 inputs data from the operator (person in charge) (described in the commuter pass purchase application form). Issuance means for issuing a commuter pass in accordance with the above data and transferring the image data in the name entry field of the purchase application form (shown in FIG. 4) read by the name transfer unit 5 to the issued commuter pass.

On the other hand, for example, a purchase application form 30 shown in FIG. That is, the purchase application form 30 includes a name entry field, an address entry field, a workplace entry field, a boarding section entry field, a via station / route entry field, a commuting / commuting condition designation field, an adult / child, from the top to the bottom. And a use period entry column.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The purchaser of the commuter pass fills in the necessary information on the purchase application form 30 and sends it to the counter at the counter. The attendant operates the touch panel of the display input unit 2 and the station button of the boarding section setting unit 4 while inputting the contents of the purchase application form 30, and inputs predetermined data. Then, the attendant inserts the purchase application form 30 into the insertion opening 5 a of the name transfer unit 5.

When the purchase application form 30 is set in the insertion slot 5a, the image data in the name entry column of the purchase application form 30 is read. At the same time, the entire image data of the purchase application form 30 is read, and the image data is processed by the image processing unit 23.

The image data processed by the image processing section 23 is displayed in a specific area (right side) 72 of the CRT display section 7, as shown in FIG. In a predetermined area (left side) 71 of the same screen of the CRT display unit 7, input data of the attendant is sequentially displayed.

As described above, by displaying the input data and the image data of the purchase application form 30 side by side on the same screen of the CRT display section 7, the attendant can remove the purchase application form 30 from the name transfer section 5 without removing it. Purchase application form 3
0 can be easily confirmed.

In particular, the input data and the purchase application form 30
Can be easily compared on the screen of the CRT display unit 7 so that a mistake in the input data can be immediately noticed. In this case, the input data is operated by operating the touch panel or the like of the display input unit 2. Can be corrected quickly and easily. The input data to be corrected is also sequentially displayed on the screen of the CRT display unit 7 together with the image data of the purchase application form 30.

If the input data displayed on the CRT display section 7 is satisfactory, the attendant performs a start operation on the condition setting section 3 (turns on the start key). Then, the character pattern is read from the memory 21 in accordance with the input data, edited and printed, and a new commuter pass is issued. At this time, the image data (name) read by the name transfer unit 5 is transferred to the issued commuter pass.

Thus, the input data and the purchase application form 3
By issuing a commuter pass while comparing the contents of "0" on the same screen of the CRT display unit 7 and correcting the input data as necessary, proper and prompt issuance without errors is possible. .

The issued commuter pass is discharged from the issuing port 9a. At this time, the commuter pass fee is displayed on the customer display 8. At the same time, the transaction result is printed on the journal by the journal printer 11, and the transaction result is stored in the magnetic disk device 12.

The attendant receives the commuter pass fee displayed on the customer display 8 from the purchaser and passes the commuter pass discharged from the issuing port 9a to the purchaser. It should be noted that the payment of the purchase fee is not limited to cash, but can be made using a credit card or a bank card inserted into the insertion slot 10a. In this case, the receipt on which the transaction result is printed is issued by the commuter pass issuing unit 9 together with the commuter pass.

In the above embodiment, the form and contents of the purchase application form 30 are not limited, and can be set as appropriate according to the type of commuter pass. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0036]

As described above, according to the present invention, the contents of the purchase application form can be easily confirmed without extracting the purchase application form from the name transfer unit or the like.
In addition, it is possible to provide a commuter pass issuing machine that can easily compare and correct the contents of the purchase application form with the input data and can issue a proper and prompt issue without error.
