[0089]
The operation of the single record automatic recovery apparatus configured as described above will be described below.
[0090]
FIG. 11 is a schematic flowchart for explaining the operation of the single record automatic recovery apparatus.
[0091]
When the power is turned on (S1101), the card collection determination unit 120 of the control unit 28 performs initialization processing for checking the operation of each unit, clearing the counter, etc. (S1103), and determines whether there is a hardware failure (S1105). ). If it is determined in step S1105 that there is no hardware failure, it is determined whether the rear panel 38 of the box 36 is open (S1107). If it is determined in step S1107 that the rear panel 38 is closed, the LED that indicates “handling” of the guide plate is turned on (S1109).
[0092]
Then, a card collection process is performed in which the internal data of the lift ticket card 7 is erased and the ticket type data is collected and posted in the card storage bag 13 (S1111). This card collection process (also referred to as normal mode) will be described in detail later.
[0093]
If it is determined in step S1105 that there is a hardware failure or the rear panel 38 is open in step S1107, the LED indicating “stop” of the guide plate is turned on to determine whether the maintenance mode is selected (S1115). ). If it is determined in step S1115 that the maintenance mode is selected, processing described later specified by the maintenance mode is performed (S1117).
[0094]
In addition, it accepts an external communication request interrupt, transfers collected file collection data, transfers an abnormal condition to the outside when any abnormality is detected, and performs a communication process of receiving the date and time from the outside (S1119). ).
[0095]
Next, card collection processing will be described. For example, when the lift ticket card 7 is inserted in a state where the lift ticket card 7 is stood at the card insertion / return port 9 of the single record automatic collection device 1, the lift ticket card 7 is inserted at the first sensor 63a, 63b at the first stage of the card transport unit 15. Is detected and a card insertion detection signal is sent to the control unit 28.
[0096]
The card collection process of the control unit 28 determines whether or not the lift ticket card 7 is located at the second stage of the card transport unit 15 in response to the input of the card insertion detection signal. If it is located at the second stage, a lever closing signal is sent to the solenoid 68 of the card transport section 15 to stop the insertion into the lift ticket card 7 by protruding the lever 74 on the transport path. .
[0097]
When it is determined that the lift ticket card 7 is not located at the second stage, the motors 70 a, 70 b, and 70 c are rotated to convey the lift ticket card 7 to the inside and the lever 74 with respect to the solenoid 68 is used. A lever return signal is sent out to retract the device from the transport path. Whether the lift ticket card 7 is located at the second level is determined based on the output signals of the sensors 64a and 64b and the sensors 65a and 65b.
[0098]
The solenoid 68 retracts the lever 74 for a predetermined time in response to the input of the lever return signal from the control unit 28 and discharges the lever 74 again. That is, the shutter unit takes in the lift ticket cards 7 one by one with priority given to the determination of the internal data of the lift ticket card 7 located in the second stage.
[0099]
Then, when the lift ticket card 7 is detected by the final sensors 64a and 64b in the first stage, the control unit 28 stops the motor 70b for a predetermined time, and the lift ticket card 7 is moved to the second stage rollers 54a and 54b. , 55a, 55b, and determination processing of internal data of the lift ticket card 7 from the antenna controller unit 17 is performed.
[0100]
The internal data determination process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the internal data of the lift ticket card cannot be read, this apparatus controls the motor 70b and retries up to twice.
[0101]
Therefore, first, the retry counter is cleared (S1201), and a data read signal for reading one page area (P1) in which the basic data of the lift ticket card 7 is written is sent to the antenna controller unit. The data in this area is read from the antenna controller unit and temporarily stored (S1205).
[0102]
It is then determined whether the read internal data can be decoded (read error) (S1205). If it is determined in step S1205 that the read error has occurred, the retry counter is updated (S1207), and it is determined whether or not the retry counter has reached “2” (S1209). If it is determined in step S1209 that the retry counter is “2”, the process returns to step S1203 to read the internal data of the lift ticket card 7 again. This internal data is basic data and usage record data written in the lift ticket card 7.
[0103]
If it is determined in step S1209 that the retry counter is “2”, a data determination NG process (S1211) is performed and the process ends. This data determination NG process is performed by rotating the motors 70a, 70b, and 70c of the card transport unit 15 in the reverse direction and retracting the lever 74 to return the lift ticket card 7 from the card insertion / return slot. Turn on the LED for “bringing in the window”.
[0104]
If it is determined in step S1205 that the internal data has been normally read by the antenna, it is determined whether a recovery flag is set for the read basic data (S1213). When the collection flag is set to “1”, it indicates that the collection has already been collected by the collection machine.
[0105]
If it is determined in step S1213 that the recovery flag is not set, it is determined whether the ski area code of the read basic data matches the ski area code stored in advance (S1215).
[0106]
If it is determined in step S1215 that the ski resort codes match, it is determined whether the issuance date (including time) indicated by the read basic data is “good” (S1217). If it is determined in step S1217 that the date of issue is “good”, it is determined whether the company code is a predetermined code (S1219).
[0107]
When it is determined in step S1219 that the company code is a predetermined code, a command for reading the internal data of the two-page area (P2) is sent to the antenna controller, and the internal data from the antenna controller is read (S1221). Then, it is determined whether or not it is a read error (S1223), and if it is not a read error, it is determined whether or not the usage frequency is "0" (0; indicating unused) (S1225). When it is determined in step S1225 that it is not unused, a data determination permission process described later is performed (S1227). Then, a command for erasing the internal data is sent to the antenna controller, the data area of the lift ticket card 7 is cleared (S1229), and this process is terminated (S1231).
[0108]
When it is determined that the retry counter has reached “2”, when it is determined that the collection flag “1” is set, or when it is determined that the date of issue is “not good”, the company code is a predetermined code. If it is determined that the internal data in the 2-page area (P2) is a read error, if the usage count is determined to be “0”, the process returns to step S1211 to perform data determination NG processing.
[0109]
That is, the data determination OK process is performed when a predetermined condition including the ski resort code, the date of issue, the state of the collection flag, the frequency of use, and the like is satisfied.
[0110]
Some lift ticket cards store basic data in one page area (P1) and store the same basic data in other page areas after the second page area.
[0111]
When collecting such a lift ticket card, a process of reading the other page area described above and returning to step S1203 may be inserted after step S1209.
[0112]
Next, the data determination OK process will be described with reference to FIG. In the data determination OK process, when all the checks shown in FIG. (S1303), and the LED for instructing to pay the bill on the guide plate is turned on (S1305).
[0113]
Then, the total file 125 shown in FIG. 14 is read, and file data corresponding to the ski resort code, company code, and ticket type (collectively, ticket type data Qi) of the collected lift ticket card 7 are searched (S1307).
[0114]
As shown in FIG. 14, the file data is stored for each company code, with the time, the number of banknotes returned, the company code, and the number of collected bill types as a set. The type of error occurrence is also stored.
[0115]
Next, the retrieved number Ki of the retrieved ticket type data Mi is updated (S1309), the bill return number Hi is updated (S1311), and this process is terminated.
[0116]
Further, when the communication control unit 132 receives a command to transfer the total result from the outside, the total data transfer unit 134 outputs all collected data to the communication control unit 132 as total data and transfers it to the outside.
[0117]
In the above embodiment, the automatic collection system for the non-contact lift ticket card at the ski resort has been described. However, the system may be used for an automatic collection system for a game hall that performs a ticket gate using a non-contact IC card.
[0118]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the deposit was returned when the card | curd was collect | recovered, you may issue a certain ticket instead of a banknote.
[0119]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect, the inserted card is vertically conveyed and the internal data is read in a non-contact manner by the antenna. Therefore, the internal data is determined without counting the front and back sides, and the number of sheets is counted. It is possible to return the ticket and remove the dirt and fat on the front and back, and post it to the storage bag.
[0120]
  Further, since the storage bag is provided below the rear end of the card transport unit, an effect is obtained that the storage bag can be easily collected by opening the back panel.
  Furthermore, even when a plurality of types of cards are inserted, it is possible to manage the number of collected cards and the current time for each card.The effect is obtained.
