BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a case where a single ticket can be used to ride between a fully automated area where automatic ticket gates are installed at all stations and a non-automated area where stations without automatic ticket gates exist. The present invention relates to a determination apparatus incorporated in an automatic ticket gate for entrance, an automatic ticket gate for participation, or an automatic checkout machine installed in the fully automated area.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The judgment device incorporated in the conventional automatic ticket checker or automatic checkout machine is such that the ticket inserted into the automatic ticket checker or automatic checkout machine satisfies the entry / exit conditions for the station where the automatic ticket checker or automatic checkout machine is installed. If it is, the use state immediately before the ticket, that is, the entry / exit is permitted without determining at which station the ticket was used or entered the last time, or the It is comprised so that a payment process may be performed by using a boarding ticket as a payment original ticket.
[0003]
Further explanation will be made based on the route map in Fig. 3. From the A station to the O station on Company A line, there are automatic ticket gates installed at all stations, and it is a fully automated area that can be entered and exited only via the automatic ticket gates. There is also a non-automated area where there is a station without automatic ticket gates from B station on line B (the station connected to station B on line A) to Sakai Station. . Then, it is possible to board between a fully automated area and a non-fully automated area using a single ticket such as a contact commuter pass or a contact ticket.
[0004]
In this route map, when a passenger (passenger) boarding from Sakai Station on Company B Line enters from A Station on Company A Line via Station B Station of the Company A Line and Company B Line, the participation If it is included in the valid section of the ticket that was entered into the automatic ticket gate G of the A station at the time of departure, regardless of the presence or absence of admission data by the automatic ticket gate G at the O station on the A company line, The determination device incorporated in the automatic ticket gate G at the station is configured to allow entry.
[0005]
In addition, when the above-mentioned ticket is valid from the station in front of Kou Station (the station existing between Company A's Kou Station and B Station), it is installed in the automatic checkout machine P installed at Kou Station. The determination device is configured to permit a settlement process using the boarding ticket as a settlement original ticket regardless of the presence or absence of entrance data by the automatic ticket gate G at the Oto station on the A company line.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-described conventional determination device has a drawback of allowing unauthorized boarding because the use state immediately before the boarding ticket is not used as a basis for determination.
[0007]
For example, in the route map of Fig. 3, if a user who boarded from company A's Oto station enters from A station, the valid section or fare of the ticket can meet the conditions for A station and enter from A station For example, the determination device incorporated in the automatic ticket gate G of the former station has a drawback that it permits entry even if it is not the ticket used when entering the second station.
[0008]
As described above, the reason why the conventional judgment device permits entry even if it is not the ticket used at the time of entering Otsu Station is that there is a station where no automatic ticket gate is installed. As in the case of the Company A line in FIG. 4 described above, even in a fully automated area where automatic ticket gates are installed at all stations, using the conventional determination device as it is has the disadvantage of allowing the above-described unauthorized boarding.
[0009]
Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose thereof is a fully automated area where automatic ticket gates are installed at all stations and a station where no automatic ticket gates are installed. An object of the present invention is to provide a determination device capable of effectively preventing illegal boarding when a single boarding ticket can be used between the non-completely automated area.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 is provided between a fully automated area where automatic ticket gates are installed at all stations and a non-fully automated area where stations where no automatic ticket gates are installed. A determination device incorporated in an automatic ticket gate for entrance installed in the fully automated area when a single ticket can be used, (a) data read from a ticket inserted in the automatic ticket gate Extraction means for extracting data indicating an immediately preceding usage state, such as entrance data representing the fact of entrance and the name of the station to be entered, or entry data representing the fact of entry and the name of the station to be entered, and (b) the extracted usage state Admission control means for permitting admission when there is no admission data for the station in the fully automated area in the data indicating, and prohibiting admission when there is admission data for the station in the fully automated area; and It is characterized by having.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings with respect to an embodiment in which a determination device is incorporated in an automatic ticket gate. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the controller C of the automatic ticket gate G.
[0012]
The controller C is configured around a calculation unit 1 including a CPU, and is configured to be able to control the automatic ticket gate G in a centralized manner. In other words, the calculation unit 1 is configured to be able to perform entry / exit calculation processing using a system program and working data stored in the memory 2.
[0013]
The calculation unit 1 has a read head for reading data recorded on tickets such as ordinary tickets and commuter passes inserted in the automatic ticket gate G, and a write head for writing new data of calculation results. The read / write unit 3 has a door drive unit 4 that opens and closes a door (not shown), and a guide display unit 5 that guides the user by display screen or voice. The controller 1 is connected to a human detector or the like for detecting the user of the ticket gate, but is omitted here.
[0014]
Hereinafter, using the flowchart of FIG. 2, the use of possessing an effective contact commuter pass or contact ticket (described in the following contact commuter pass) that can be boarded from A to Sakai Station shown in FIG. 3 above. The entrance / exit control operation of the person will be described.
[0015]
Now, assume that a user enters a contact commuter pass (not shown) into the automatic ticket gate G installed at the station A while trying to enter from the station A. The data recorded in the inserted communication commuter pass is read via the read / write unit 3 (Yes in Step 100, Step 102, and Step 104, hereinafter referred to as “S”).
[0016]
In the read data, the door is opened when the station used immediately before is in the fully automated area and there is no entrance data for the station in the fully automated area (when the automatic ticket gate G is normally open type) Admission is permitted (No in S106, S108). On the other hand, when the above conditions are not satisfied, the door is closed and entry is prevented, and the attendant process is guided through the guidance display unit 5 (Yes in S106, S110).
[0017]
In other words, if entry data indicating entry from a station in the fully automated area is recorded in the read data, in other words, the usage status immediately before the contact commuter pass inserted in the automatic ticket gate G is When entering from the fully-automated area, the contact commuter pass has not participated from the fully-automated area last time, which means that the contact commuter pass is not properly used. Be blocked.
[0018]
The above-mentioned determination is based on the case where the automatic ticket gate G is installed at the former station in the fully automated area, but the same determination is made in the determination device for the automated ticket gate G installed at the station in the non-fully automated area. Is done. The same determination is made when the boarding ticket is not a contact commuter pass but a contact ticket.
[0019]
Next, the case where the user enters from the station A will be described (No in S104, Yes in S112). In the read data, there is entrance data of a station in the fully automated area as data indicating the immediately previous usage state. The door is opened and entry is permitted (Yes at S114, S116). On the other hand, when the above condition is not satisfied, the door is closed and entry is prevented, and the staff process is guided through the guidance display unit 5 (No in S114, S118).
[0020]
In other words, if the use state immediately before the contact commuter pass inserted in the automatic ticket gate G is entrance and not in the fully automated area, the contact commuter pass has not entered from the fully automated area last time. This means that the communication commuter pass is not used properly, and in this case, participation is blocked.
[0021]
The above judgment control operation is not only when the ticket is a contact commuter pass, but also when the ticket is a contact ticket or another ordinary ticket, there is no entry data for stations in the fully automated area. At times, participation is blocked.
[0022]
Furthermore, although the above-described determination control operation is in the case of the determination device incorporated in the automatic ticket gate, the determination is similarly performed when the determination device is incorporated in the automatic checkout machine P installed at the station in the fully automated area. Is done. That is, when the use state immediately before the ticket that is inserted (inserted) into the automatic checkout machine P is in the fully automated area and there is no entry data for the stations in the fully automated area, the ticket is used as the checkout original ticket. The settlement process is rejected (No at S114, S118). Further, when the use state immediately before the ticket is in the fully automated area and there is entry data of a station in the complete area, the ticket is processed as a settlement original ticket (Yes in S114, S116). ).
[0023]
