However, if the configuration is such that a larger number of media can be stored, the number of tickets is not limited to two, and more tickets can be processed at a time. It can also be done.
[0044]
Sa7: Once the boarding ticket is used, the used information is written in the magnetic recording area by an automatic ticket gate or the like. If the used information is recorded in the magnetic recording area of the ticket, the transaction is not established. Even if the used information is not recorded, the transaction is fraudulent unless it is issued on the processing day. In these cases, the process proceeds to Sa8.
[0045]
When there is no used information and the ticket is issued on the day, it communicates with a server (not shown) to determine whether or not the ticket is issued by credit card settlement. Note that when the medium issuance transaction apparatus performs a medium issuance transaction using a credit card, all the transactions are recorded on the server. This server serves as a settlement medium transaction recording means. Therefore, by searching the data in the server, it can be determined whether the boarding ticket is issued by a credit card or cash.
[0046]
If a credit card payment is made, the process proceeds to Sa10. If a cash payment is made, the process proceeds to Sa14.
Sa8: Since the transaction is not established, all the tickets are transported to the temporary stacking unit 9 and stacked.
Sa9: All the tickets are discharged to the loading / unloading port 7 and returned to the user, and the process is terminated.
[0047]
Sa10: Since the boarding ticket has been issued by credit card settlement, refund processing is not performed, but credit transaction return processing is performed instead. That is, the return processing is executed by setting information such as the transaction amount, card type, membership number, and expiration date recorded in the server in a message and transmitting it to the host computer. Note that a credit card may be requested for confirmation here.
[0048]
Sa11: A boarding ticket is conveyed to the printing part 15, and VOID printing is performed.
Sa12: The boarding ticket is transported to the magnetic processing unit 16, and the magnetic data recorded on the boarding ticket is destroyed by the light head 18, and then transported to the collection stacker 22 and collected.
Sa13: A statement showing the credit return transaction is issued, and the transaction ends.
[0049]
Sa14: Since the boarding ticket is issued by cash settlement, the refund process is advanced. First, a boarding ticket is conveyed to the printing part 15 and VOID printing is performed.
Sa15: The boarding ticket is transported to the magnetic processing unit 16, and the magnetic data recorded on the boarding ticket is destroyed by the light head 18, and then transported to the collection stacker 22 and collected.
[0050]
Sa16: A statement slip in which the refund amount is recorded is issued, an equivalent amount of cash is returned, and the refund process is terminated.
As mentioned above, it is possible to save labor by making it possible to automatically execute refund processing for wrongly purchased tickets, which was previously handled only at the counter, and also to handle credit card payments. Therefore, it is not necessary to line up in a crowded window, and the service to users can be improved.
[0051]
