The present invention also relates to an unprocessed recording medium detection apparatus that outputs the fact.

  In the past, automatic ticket gates have been installed at ticket gates to prevent people who do not have the proper ticket from entering or leaving the train station. Yes. As is well known, the automatic ticket gate reads the ticket information from the ticket owned by the person who enters or exits the station, and uses the ticket information read here to It is a device that determines whether to allow entry to or entry from the station premises. In this determination, it is determined whether a person who enters or exits from the station has an appropriate ticket. In this determination, if the automatic ticket gate determines that entry into the station premises or entry from the station premises is not permitted, i.e., it is determined that the person does not have an appropriate ticket, it enters the station premises, Alternatively, a door provided in a passage through which a person who enters from the station premises passes is closed, and this person is prohibited from entering or entering the station through the passage.

  Among those who have closed the gate of the automatic ticket gate and restricted passage of the passage, a user who knows that he / she does not have a proper ticket (hereinafter referred to as a malicious user). ) As well as some users (hereinafter referred to as bona fide users) who misunderstand that they own the proper ticket. Automatic ticket gates, regardless of whether the person who does not have a proper ticket is a malicious user or a good faith user, unless the user has a proper ticket, The doors of the aisles are closed, warning lights are turned on, and warning sounds are used to inform the station staff of the existence of users who do not have the proper ticket.

In addition, an automatic ticket gate that treats a bona fide user in the same way as a bona fide user has great discomfort felt by a bona fide user, and the service for bona fide users is not good.

  However, in order to prevent unauthorized use of tickets due to the use of Kisell, etc. for general automatic ticket gates, admission information indicating that the user was used to enter the station when entering the station. Is recorded on the ticket, and when the user participates from the station, entry information indicating that it is used for participation from the station is recorded on the ticket. In addition, the automatic ticket gate judges whether the information recorded on the ticket when it was used last time is entry information, and if it is not entry information (if it is entry information), it closes the aisle door as a cycle error. However, the passage of users in the passage is restricted. Also, at the time of entry, it is determined whether or not the information recorded on the ticket at the previous use is entrance information. If it is not entry information (if it is entry information), the aisle door is closed as a cycle error, User traffic is restricted.

  Particularly recently, a ticket gate system using a recording medium having a wireless communication function (a so-called non-contact IC card) as a boarding ticket has been put into practical use. In this ticket gate system, the automatic ticket gate uses wireless communication for reading the ticket information from the contactless IC card, which is a ticket, and for recording the ticket information on the contactless IC card. In this ticket gate system, when the ticket gate information to be recorded on the non-contact type IC card such as entrance information and entry information is transmitted wirelessly, the user communicates the recording medium with the automatic ticket gate wirelessly. It may be moved out of the area. At this time, the contactless IC card fails to record the ticket information such as the entrance information and the entry information. On the other hand, the user who owns the non-contact type IC card does not notice that the record of the ticket information has failed. A contactless IC card that fails to record the ticket information is generally called incomplete processing.

  The user has failed to record the ticket information at the previous use of the non-contact IC card that he owns when the passage door is closed due to a cycle error at the next use. First noticed that processing has not been completed. In other words, the user recognizes that the automatic ticket checker has closed the aisle door and has not yet completed the process of failing to record the ticket information at the previous use until the passage of the aisle is restricted. I couldn't. Therefore, in the case of failing to record the ticket information such as entrance information and entry information to the non-contact type IC card, the user does not re-process in advance the processing that failed until the next use, This user was always restricted by the automatic ticket gate. As a result, the ticket gate efficiency of the automatic ticket checker is lowered, causing trouble for other users.

  In addition, it is desirable that the automatic ticket gates close the passage doors and physically restrict the passage of users from the viewpoint of user protection. Especially for users who own contact IC cards, it is a cycle error by letting the user recognize that processing has not been completed in advance and performing reprocessing for the failed processing. It is expected to avoid closing the passage door.

  The object of the present invention is to recognize to a user who has an unprocessed recording medium that has failed to record ticket information at the previous use that the owned recording medium has not been processed. Another object of the present invention is to provide an unprocessed recording medium detection device capable of performing in advance reprocessing related to processing that has failed until the next use.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the recording medium detection device incompletely processed according to the present invention has the following configuration.

(1) Along with the ticket information, the entry / exit information is wirelessly communicated from a recording medium on which entry / exit information indicating whether the previous use was entering or exiting the station was recorded. Entry / exit information acquisition means acquired at
Current position recognition means for recognizing whether the current position of the main body is inside or outside the station,
The entrance / exit information acquisition means acquires the entrance / exit information indicating that the previous use is entrance to the station premises, and the current position recognition means recognizes that the current position of the main body is outside the station premises. And the entrance / exit information acquisition means acquires the entrance / exit information indicating that the previous use is participation from the station premises, and the current position recognition means recognizes the current position of the main body as the station premises. A process for determining that the entry / exit information acquisition means is an unprocessed recording medium that has not been properly processed at the time of the previous use with respect to the recording medium from which the entry / exit information acquisition means has acquired this entry / exit information. Incomplete determination means;
When the entry / exit information acquisition means determines that the processing incomplete determination means is an unprocessed recording medium for the recording medium for which the entry / exit information has been acquired this time, the processing incomplete recording medium has been detected. Output means for outputting.

  In this configuration, the entrance / exit information acquisition means was used to enter the station premises last time by wireless communication with a recording medium in which the ticket information located in the wireless communication area was recorded, or the station premises Get entry / exit information that indicates whether or not it was used to enter. In general automatic ticket gates, in order to prevent unauthorized use of tickets due to Kissell rides, etc., it is shown that the ticket used when entering the station was used to enter the station The entry information is recorded, and the entry information indicating that the user has used the entry from the station is recorded in the ticket used when the user enters from the station. Hereinafter, entrance information and entry information are collectively referred to as entry / exit information.

  Further, the current position recognizing means recognizes whether the place where the apparatus main body is installed, that is, the current position of the apparatus main body, is inside or outside the station. The current position recognizing means may be configured to store the current position (inside the station premises or outside the station) where the apparatus main body is installed in the memory of the apparatus main body, for example. The system may be configured to measure the current position of the device main body with a positioning system using the Global Positioning System) and recognize whether the position is within the station premises or outside the station premises. Also good. The processing incomplete determination means includes the previous use (entrance or participation) of the ticket acquired by the entry / exit information acquisition means, and the current position (inside the station premises or outside the station) of the device body recognized by the current position recognition means. Based on the above, it is determined whether or not the recording medium for which the entry / exit information has been acquired by wireless communication this time has been properly processed at the previous use. Specifically, if the current position of the main body of the device is within the station, the entrance / exit information read from the recording medium is the entrance information indicating that it was used for the previous entrance into the station, so that the processing is appropriately performed. On the other hand, if it is participation information indicating that it was used for participation from the previous station premises, it is determined that the processing is not properly performed. In addition, if the current position of the device main body is outside the station premises, if the entry / exit information read from the recording medium is entry information indicating that it was used for participation from the previous station premises, processing is properly performed. On the contrary, if it is the entrance information indicating that it was used for the previous entrance into the station, it is determined that the processing is not properly performed. If the processing incomplete determination unit determines that the previous processing has not been properly performed, that is, the processing has not been completed, the output unit outputs that a recording medium that has not been processed is detected. For example, it outputs that a recording medium that has not been processed is detected by voice output or display output on the display unit.

  This allows a user who has an unprocessed recording medium that has failed to record ticket information at the previous use to recognize that the recording medium has not been processed, and Reprocessing can be performed for processes that have failed so far. Therefore, the frequency of occurrence of users whose passage through the passage is restricted due to the incomplete processing of the automatic ticket gate can be suppressed, and a reduction in ticket efficiency of the automatic ticket gate can be prevented.

(2) Moreover, as one embodiment of this invention, the said entrance / exit information acquisition means acquires ticket information with the said entrance / exit information from the said recording medium,
The output means displays a message indicating that the processing is incomplete together with the ticket information recorded on the recording medium determined to be a recording medium that has not been processed by the processing incomplete determination means. It is good also as a structure.

  In this configuration, for the recording medium determined to be incomplete processing, a message indicating that processing is incomplete is displayed along with the ticket information such as the regular section and prepaid amount recorded on the recording medium. Even if there are multiple users who own recording media in the surrounding area, whether each user's recording media determined to be incomplete is his or her own recording media Can be determined from the displayed ticket information. At this time, if personal information such as name and age is not displayed, the privacy of the user can be sufficiently secured.

(3) Moreover, as one embodiment of this invention, the said entrance / exit information acquisition means acquires the identification information which identifies a recording medium with the said entrance / exit information from the said recording medium,
The output means requests the host apparatus to notify the owner of the recording medium identified by the identification information together with the identification information of the recording medium determined by the incomplete processing determination means to be an incomplete recording medium. It is good also as a structure which does.

  In this configuration, the output unit requests the higher-level device to notify the owner of the recording medium that has been determined that processing has not been completed.

  The host device, for example, corresponds to the contact information of the user who owns this recording medium, for example, the e-mail address of the mobile phone, the phone number of the mobile phone, the home phone number, the company phone number, to the identification information of the recording medium It is recorded. In response to a request from the output means, the host device notifies the user who owns the recording medium that has been incompletely processed by e-mail or telephone that the recording medium has not been processed. To do.

(4) Moreover, as one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a distance estimation means for estimating the distance between the recording medium determined by the processing incomplete determination means to be a recording medium incomplete and the apparatus main body,
The output means may be configured to output corresponding to the distance estimated by the distance estimation means.

  In this configuration, the distance between the recording medium determined by the distance estimation means to be an unprocessed recording medium and the apparatus main body is estimated, and the estimation result is output by the output means. For example, the distance between the recording medium and the apparatus main body is estimated from the intensity of radio waves transmitted from the recording medium in wireless communication with an unprocessed recording medium, and the estimation result is output. With this output, station staff can predict the position of users who have recorded media that have not been processed, and the effort required to identify users who have recorded media that have not been processed can be reduced. Can be planned.

  According to the present invention, a user who owns an unprocessed recording medium that has failed to record ticket information at the previous use recognizes that the owned recording medium has not been processed. Thus, reprocessing can be performed for processing that has failed before the next use. Therefore, the frequency of occurrence of users whose passage through the passage is restricted due to the incomplete processing of the automatic ticket gate can be suppressed, and a reduction in ticket efficiency of the automatic ticket gate can be prevented.

  Next, the operation of the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the stationary recording medium detection device according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A of this embodiment, when the user enters or leaves the station, the automatic ticket gate 2 records the entry information, the entry information, etc. on the contactless IC card 5. When the ticket information to be transmitted is transmitted wirelessly, the user has moved the non-contact IC card 5 out of the wireless communication area with the automatic ticket checker 2 and failed to record the ticket information. This is a device for detecting the non-contact type IC card 5.

  As described above, the installation type recording medium detection device 1A of this embodiment operates in the first wireless communication mode at the normal time. The installed recording medium detection device 1A according to this embodiment is a non-contact method that is located around the antenna provided in the touch zone 12a at a certain time interval in the wireless communication unit 12, for example, every few seconds (4 to 5 seconds). While performing polling for requesting a response to the IC card 5, it waits for the processing completion confirmation button 15b provided on the front of the apparatus to be pressed (S1 to S4). In S1, as described above, the wireless communication unit 12 operates in the first wireless communication mode, and the wireless communication unit 12 is located in a range of several meters (1 to 2 meters) from the antenna provided in the touch zone 12a. The card 5 transmits a power carrier wave having a strength capable of obtaining an operating power supply by electromagnetic coupling. The non-contact type IC card 5 located in a range several meters away from the antenna provided in the touch zone 12a can respond to the polling performed by the installation type recording medium detection device 1A in S1.

  When the installation type recording medium detection device 1A receives a response from the non-contact type IC card 5 in S2 with respect to the polling performed in S1, the installation location of the apparatus main body is in the station premises or outside the station premises. Is recognized (S5). The non-contact type IC card 5 is a set-type recording medium for recording card information such as identification information, ticket information (periodic period, periodical validity period, prepaid prepaid amount), entrance / exit information, etc. in response to polling of S1. It transmits to the detection apparatus 1A. The installation type recording medium detection device 1A reads information indicating the installation location stored in the storage unit 17 in S5, for example, a flag, and recognizes whether the installation location is inside or outside the station. When the installation recording medium detection apparatus 1A recognizes the installation location of the apparatus main body, the installation recording medium detection apparatus 1A determines whether the non-contact IC card 5 that has received the card information this time has not been processed (S6). In S6, the determination is made based on the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time and the installation location of the apparatus main body recognized in S5. Specifically, if the installation location recognized in S5 is within the station premises and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed. . Further, if the installation location recognized in S5 is outside the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed. On the contrary, if the installation location recognized in S5 is in the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed. Further, if the installation location recognized in S5 is outside the station premises and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed. If the installation type recording medium detection device 1A determines that the process is not completed in S6, the process returns to S1 and repeats the above process.

  If the installation type recording medium detection device 1A determines that the processing is the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed in S6, the identification information included in the card information transmitted this time from the non-contact IC card 5 is displayed. It is determined whether it is stored in the storage unit 17 (S7). If it is determined that the identification information is stored in the storage unit 17 in S7, the details will be described later, but since it is the non-contact IC card 5 that has already been detected to be incomplete, the process returns to S1 and the above Repeat the process.

  If the installation type recording medium detection device 1A determines that the identification information is not stored in the storage unit 17 in S7, the identification information included in the card information transmitted this time is associated with the current time. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 17 (S8). The installed recording medium detection device 1 </ b> A deletes the identification information stored in the storage unit 17 when the associated time is a certain time before (for example, 1-2 hours before). In other words, the storage unit 17 stores the identification information stored in S8 for a predetermined time. Therefore, it has been detected that the non-contact type IC card 5 having the identification information determined to be stored in the storage unit 17 in S7 has not been processed for a predetermined time.

  When the identification information is stored in the storage unit 17 in S8, the installation type recording medium detection device 1A starts displaying that the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed is detected on the display unit 13, and also outputs an audio output unit. 14 starts to notify that the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed is detected (S9, S10). In S9, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the ticket information (periodic period, expiration date, prepaid amount) and identification information of the non-contact type IC card 5 that has detected that the processing has not been completed are displayed on the display screen 13a. To do. At this time, personal information such as the name and age of the user who can identify the individual user carrying the non-contact type IC card 5 is not displayed on the display screen 13a. Further, a message notifying that the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed is detected is displayed on the display screen 13b. In S10, the sound output unit 14 starts to output a notification sound or a message such as “Non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed” has been detected. Even in this audio output, personal information that can identify an individual user who possesses the non-contact IC card 5 that has been detected to be incomplete is not output.

  In this way, when the installation type recording medium detection device 1A detects the non-contact type IC card 5 that has not been processed, an individual who can identify the user who owns the non-contact type IC card 5 Since the information is not output by display or voice, the personal information of the user who possesses the non-contact IC card 5 that has been detected to be incomplete at this time is the periphery of the installed recording medium detection device 1A at that time. The user's privacy can be secured without leaking to other users in Further, when the user who possesses the non-contact type IC card 5 that is detected to be incomplete at this time performs the processing in S9 and S10, the wireless communication of the installation type recording medium detection device 1A is performed. In the wireless communication area of the unit 12, that is, in the vicinity of the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A. Therefore, many users who have a non-contact IC card 5 that has not completed processing are aware of the display of processing and audio output related to S9 and S10, and the displayed regular interval, expiration date, prepaid From the ticket information such as the amount of money, it can be recognized that the non-contact IC card 5 possessed by the user has not been processed.

  Further, the installation type recording medium detection device 1A sends an e-mail message to the user who possesses the non-contact type IC card 5 that is detected to be incomplete at this time to the center 7 via the station server 6. (S11). At this time, the recording medium detection apparatus 1 transmits to the center 7 identification information of the non-contact type IC card 5 that has detected that the process has not been completed. The installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A of this embodiment will be described assuming that a transmission request of an e-mail to the user's mobile phone is made to the center 7; It may be a request for making a voice notification by placing a call, or a request for notifying the user by another method. In response to a request from the installed recording medium detection device 1A, the center 7 transmits an e-mail notifying the user that the processing of the non-contact IC card 5 has not been completed.

  As described above, the center 7 stores the mail address of the user's mobile phone and the telephone number of the contact information such as the mobile phone in association with the identification information of the non-contact type IC card 5. Therefore, by using this stored information, the user who has the contactless IC card 5 that has been detected to be incomplete at this time is notified by e-mail or telephone. Can be communicated.

  Thus, for a user who has a non-contact type IC card 5 that is detected to be incomplete in the installed recording medium detection device 1A, the non-contact type IC card 5 has not been processed. An e-mail notifying that is sent to the mobile phone. As a result, the non-contact type IC card 5 has not been processed for the user who has the non-contact type IC card 5 detected that the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A has not been processed. Can be recognized almost certainly. Therefore, the user goes to the station staff before entering the station premises using the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed or entering the station premises. Since the non-contact IC card 5 is reprocessed, the frequency of users whose passage in the passage is restricted due to a cycle error due to incomplete processing in the automatic ticket gate 2 is reduced, and the ticket gate efficiency is reduced. It can be sufficiently prevented.

  In addition, the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A requests the center 7 to send an e-mail to the user who has not completed the treatment in S11, and then starts display and audio output in S9 and S10. It waits for a certain period of time, for example, 30 seconds, or until the display erase button 15a provided on the front of the apparatus main body is pressed (S12, S13). When the recording medium detection device 1 determines that a certain time has passed in S12 or that the display erasure button 15a is pressed in S13, the recording medium detection device 1 stops the display of the display screens 13a and 13b by the display unit 13 and notifies by the audio output unit 14 Is stopped (S14, S15), and the process returns to S1.

  Therefore, the user who has the non-contact type IC card 5 that has been detected to be incomplete can display the non-contact type IC card that he / she has in the display and voice output of the processes according to S9 and S10. When it is recognized that the card 5 has not been processed, the display on the display screens 13a and 13b can be stopped by the display unit 13 and the notification by the audio output unit 14 can be stopped by pressing the display deletion button 15a. . Further, even if the user does not notice that the display or audio output is being performed on the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A, when the fixed time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses, the display unit 13 stops displaying the display screens 13a and 13b. Since the notification stop by the voice output unit 14 is executed, the information of the non-contact type IC card 5 that has not been processed is not continuously displayed.

  Further, the user can independently confirm whether or not the non-contact IC card 5 possessed by the user has not been processed. When the user voluntarily confirms whether or not the non-contact type IC card 5 has not been processed, the user presses the processing completion confirmation button 15b provided on the front surface of the installation type recording medium detection device 1A. When the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A detects that the processing completion confirmation button 15b is pressed in S3, the non-contact type IC card 5 is displayed on the touch zone 12a on the front surface of the main body as shown in FIG. A display for instructing the approach is performed and a message indicating that the processing is being confirmed is displayed on the display screen 13b (S16). Further, the communication mode in the wireless communication unit 12 is switched from the first wireless communication mode to the second wireless communication mode (S17). Thereby, the installation type recording medium detection device 1A can perform wireless communication only with the non-contact type IC card 5 in the vicinity of the touch zone 12a.

  The user who has pressed the process completion confirmation button 15b brings the non-contact IC card 5 possessed close to the touch zone 12a according to the display on the display screen 13a. The installed recording medium detection device 1A polls the contactless IC card 5 in the wireless communication unit 12 (S18) and waits for a response (S19). The non-contact type IC card 5 brought close to the touch zone 12a by the user acquires an operation power source by electromagnetic coupling by a power carrier wave transmitted from an antenna provided in the touch zone 12a, and starts operation. The non-contact type IC card 5 transmits recorded card information such as identification information, ticket information (periodic period, periodical validity period, prepaid prepaid amount), entrance / exit information, etc. to the installation type recording medium detection device 1A.

  When receiving the card information transmitted from the non-contact type IC card 5, the installation type recording medium detection device 1A recognizes whether the installation location of the apparatus main body is inside or outside the station (S20). The process according to s20 is the same as the process according to S5 described above. When the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A recognizes the installation location of the apparatus main body in S20, the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A determines whether the non-contact IC card 5 that has received the card information this time has not been processed (S21). The determination in S21 is also the same as S6 described above, and if the installation location recognized in S20 is in the station premises and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, the processing is incomplete. The IC card 5 is determined. Further, if the installation location recognized in S20 is outside the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed. On the other hand, if the installation location recognized in S20 is within the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed. Further, if the installation location recognized in S20 is outside the station premises and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed.

  When the installation type recording medium detection device 1A determines whether or not the processing is not completed in S21, the determination result is displayed on the display screen 13a (S22). For example, if it is determined in S21 that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed, the display shown in FIG. 7A is displayed on the display screen 13a, and conversely, the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed in S21. If it is determined, the display shown in FIG. 7B is performed on the display screen 13a. With this display, the user can easily confirm whether or not the non-contact IC card 5 possessed by the user has not been processed.

  Further, even if the installation type recording medium detection device 1A determines that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed in S21, the audio output unit 14 does not perform audio notification. In this case, since it is confirmed whether or not the contactless IC card 5 that the user has voluntarily possesses has not been processed, there is no particular problem even if no voice notification is given. Absent. In addition, it is possible to sufficiently ensure the privacy of a user who has confirmed whether or not the non-contact type IC card 5 has not been processed without being turned around by a voice notification. .

  The installation type recording medium detection device 1A waits for the display of the determination result in S22 to elapse for a certain time, for example, 30 seconds, or for the display erasure button 15a provided on the front surface of the device to be pressed (S23). , S24). When it is determined that the fixed time has elapsed in S23 or the display deletion button 15a is pressed in S24, the stationary recording medium detection device 1A stops the display of the display screens 13a and 13b by the display unit 13 (S25). Further, the communication mode in the wireless communication unit 12 is switched from the second wireless communication mode to the first wireless communication mode (S26), and the process returns to S1.

  As described above, the installation type recording medium detection device 1A of this embodiment can also confirm whether or not the non-contact type IC card 5 possessed by the user has not been processed. As a result, many users are made to recognize whether or not the non-contact type IC card 5 that they possess has been processed, and the re-processing is performed before the next use of the non-contact type IC card 5. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the occurrence frequency of users who restrict passage of the passage due to the incomplete processing of the automatic ticket checker 2 and to prevent a reduction in ticket check efficiency in the automatic ticket checker 2.

  Next, a portable recording medium detection device 1B that is another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Unlike the apparatus of the above embodiment, the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B of this embodiment can be carried by a station staff. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration of a portable recording medium detection device according to another embodiment. In FIG. 8, the same components as those in FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the appearance of the portable recording medium detection device of this embodiment. Similarly to the above-described embodiment, the portable recording medium detection device 1B of this embodiment also includes a control unit 11 that controls the operation of the main body, a wireless communication unit 12 that wirelessly communicates with the non-contact IC card 5, and processing results.

Furthermore, the portable recording medium detection device 1B of this embodiment includes an alarm unit 20 that vibrates the main body, a GPS unit 21 that measures the position of the own device, and a connection interface 22 that is connected to the station server 6. .

  Similarly to the above-described embodiment, the wireless communication unit 12 is a first wireless device having a wireless communication area in a range of several meters (1 to 2 m) from an antenna (not shown) used for wireless communication with the non-contact IC card 5. It operates in two modes: a communication mode and a second wireless communication mode in which a range of several centimeters (1-2 cm) from the antenna is a wireless communication area. The display unit 13 includes a display screen 13a for displaying the ticket information of the non-contact IC card 5 that has been detected as being incomplete, and the non-contact IC card 5 that has been detected as being incomplete. Display control is performed in a distance indicator 13c that displays an estimated distance from the main body. The distance indicator 13c includes a near lamp that is lit when the estimated distance between the non-contact IC card 5 and the main body that has been incompletely processed is several tens of centimeters (0 to 50 cm), and the estimated distance is several tens of centimeters. A middle lamp that is turned on when the distance is ˜1 m (50 cm to 1 m) and a far lamp that is turned on when the estimated distance exceeds 1 m are provided. When the voice output unit 14 detects the non-contact type IC card 5 that has not been processed in the same manner as the apparatus of the above-described embodiment, the voice output unit 14 notifies that fact by voice.

  In addition, the portable recording medium detection device 1B according to this embodiment is configured so that the non-contact type IC card 5 has not been processed yet. In addition, it is possible to perform a deposit process for depositing a prepaid amount. The operation unit 15 is provided with buttons and the like operated when performing these processes on the front surface of the apparatus main body. In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, the display deletion button operated when deleting the display of characters and the like displayed on the display screen 13a at that time, or the processing for the specific non-contact IC card 5 has not been completed. A processing completion confirmation button operated when confirming whether or not there is also provided on the front of the main body. Since the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B of this embodiment is a portable type that can be carried and carried by a station staff, unlike the apparatus of the above embodiment, the place where the apparatus main body is installed in the storage unit 17 is The installation location information indicating whether the station is inside or outside the station is not stored. However, the storage unit 17 has a storage area for storing the identification information of the non-contact type IC card 5 that has detected that processing has not been completed and the time at which it has been detected that processing has not been completed. Yes. The alarm unit 20 vibrates the main body when detecting the non-contact type IC card 5 that has not yet completed the entrance process or the exit process, so that the station staff member who has the non-contact type IC has not completed the process. Recognize that the user holding the card 5 is nearby. The GPS unit 21 calculates the latitude / longitude of the current location using the Global Positioning System. Since GPS is publicly known, description thereof is omitted here. The connection interface 22 has a communication function for connecting to the station server 6 wirelessly or by wire.

  Next, the operation of the portable recording medium detection device 1B according to this embodiment will be described. 10 and 11 are flowcharts showing the operation of the portable recording medium detection device according to this another embodiment. Similarly to the installation type recording medium detection device 1A of the above embodiment, the portable recording medium detection device 1B is also non-contact located in the periphery at a certain time, for example, several seconds (4 to 5 seconds) in the wireless communication unit 12. While performing polling for requesting a response to the expression IC card 5, it waits for the button of the operation unit 15 to be pressed (S31 to S34). At this time, the portable recording medium detection device 1B is operating in the first wireless communication mode. In S31, as described above, the non-contact IC card 5 is operating in the first wireless communication mode, and the wireless communication unit 12 is located within a range of several meters (1-2 m) from the antenna provided in the main body. Transmits a power carrier wave having a strength that can obtain an operating power supply by electromagnetic coupling. In other words, the non-contact IC card 5 located in a range several meters away from the main body can respond to the polling performed by the portable recording medium detection device 1B in S31.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B receives a response from the non-contact IC card 5 in S2 in response to the polling performed in S1, the GPS unit 21 measures the current position of the device main body (S35). When the portable recording medium detection device 1B measures the current position of the apparatus main body in S35, the portable recording medium detection device 1B recognizes whether the position measured this time is within the station premises or outside the station premises (S36). The non-contact type IC card 5 records identification information, boarding ticket information (periodic period, periodical validity period, prepaid prepaid amount), entrance / exit information, and the like for the polling of S31 as in the above embodiment. Card information is transmitted to the recording medium detection apparatus 1. When the portable recording medium detection device 1B recognizes in S36 whether the current position of the device main body is within the station premises or outside the station premises, the non-contact IC card 5 that has received the card information this time has not yet been processed. It is determined whether or not there is (S37). In S37, the determination is made based on the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time and the current position of the apparatus main body (inside or outside the station) recognized in S36. Specifically, if the installation location recognized in S36 is in the station premises and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, it is determined that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed. . Further, if the installation location recognized in S36 is outside the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed. On the other hand, if the installation location recognized in S36 is within the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed. If the installation location recognized in S36 is outside the station and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed. If the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B determines that the process is not completed in S37, the process returns to S31 and repeats the above process.

  Here, the portable recording medium detection device 1B is configured to measure the current position of the device main body with the GPS unit 21, but is the station staff possessing the device used in advance within the station premises? Further, it may be configured to set whether the station is out of the station with a changeover switch or the like.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed in S37, the identification information included in the card information transmitted this time from the non-contact IC card 5 is displayed. It is determined whether it is stored in the storage unit 17 (S38). If it is determined that the identification information is stored in the storage unit 17 in S38, it is the non-contact IC card 5 in which it is already detected that the processing has not been completed, as in the apparatus of the above embodiment. Return and repeat the above process.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines that the identification information is not stored in the storage unit 17 in S38, the identification information included in the card information transmitted this time is associated with the current time. It memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 17 (S39). The portable recording medium detection device 1B deletes the identification information stored in the storage unit 17 when the associated time is a certain time before (for example, 1-2 hours before). The storage unit 17 stores the identification information stored in S39 for a predetermined time. Therefore, it is detected that the non-contact type IC card 5 having the identification information determined to be stored in the storage unit 17 in S38 has not been processed a certain time ago.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B stores the identification information in the storage unit 17 in S39, the portable recording medium detection device 1B estimates the distance between the non-contact IC card 5 that has detected that the process has not been completed and the main body (S40). In S40, the distance between the non-contact IC card 5 and the main body is estimated from the intensity of the radio wave when the card information is received from the non-contact IC card 5 this time. The display unit 13 starts displaying that the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed is detected (S41). In addition, notification that the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed is detected in the audio output unit 14 is started, and the alarm unit 20 starts vibration of the main body (S42). In S41, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the ticket information (periodic period, expiration date, prepaid amount) and identification information of the non-contact type IC card 5 that has detected that the processing has not been completed are displayed on the display screen 13a. To do. In the distance indicator 13c, a lamp corresponding to the distance between the non-contact IC card 5 estimated in S40 and the main body is turned on. Here, the personal information such as the user's name and age that can identify the individual user who possesses the non-contact IC card 5 that has been detected to be incomplete is described in the above embodiment. Although it is set as the structure which is not displayed on the display screen 13a similarly to the installation type recording medium detection apparatus 1A, since the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B of this embodiment is possessed by the station staff, the display screen is also used for the personal information of the user. It is good also as a structure displayed on 13a. Even if the personal information of the user is displayed on the display screen 13a, the privacy of the user can be secured. In addition, the station staff or the like detected that the non-contact IC card 5 that was not processed was detected by the sound or vibration notification in S42 even when the recording medium detection device 1 of this embodiment was put in a pocket or the like. Can be recognized.

  The station clerk recognizes that the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed is detected in the portable recording medium detection device 1B, and then confirms the lamp on which the distance indicator 13c is lit. The whereabouts of the user who holds the detected non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed can be estimated, the user in the vicinity is spoken, and the user has not been processed yet It is possible to confirm whether or not the user has the non-contact type IC card 5. When it is confirmed that the user has a non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed yet and is detected this time, reprocessing to be described later on the non-contact IC card 5 possessed by the user I do. As a result, before the user enters or leaves the station using the unprocessed contactless IC card 5 possessed by the user, the user can check the contactless IC card 5 with respect to the contactless IC card 5. Reprocessing can be performed. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the occurrence frequency of users whose passage of passage is restricted due to a cycle error due to the incomplete processing in the automatic ticket gate 2 and sufficiently prevent the ticket gate efficiency from being lowered.

  The portable recording medium detection device 1B waits for a certain time, for example, 30 seconds, for example, to elapse from the start of the processing of S41 and S42, or until the display erasure button provided on the front of the device main body is pressed ( S43, S44). When the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines that a certain time has passed in S43 or that the display erasure button is pressed in S44, the portable recording medium detection device 1B stops the display on the display unit 13 and notifies by the audio output unit 14 and by the alarm unit 20 The vibration of the apparatus main body is stopped (S45, S46), and the process returns to S1.

  When the station staff member confirms the user who holds the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed and is detected this time by the portable recording medium detection device 1B, the station staff presses the display erasure button, and then the user Reprocessing the non-contact IC card 5 possessed is performed. Specifically, if the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed, the entry process button is pressed, and if the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed, the participation process. Press the button. In addition, if necessary, the station staff presses the processing completion confirmation button when confirming whether the user's non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed, so that the user's non-contact IC card 5 On the other hand, when the deposit process is performed, the deposit process button is pressed, and when the settlement process is performed on the user's non-contact type IC card 5, the settlement process button is depressed.

  If the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines that the button of the operation unit 15 is pressed in S33, if the button pressed this time is a processing completion confirmation button, the display screen 13a is contactless as shown in FIG. A display for instructing to bring the IC card 5 close to the antenna of the main body is performed (S47, S48). Further, the communication mode in the wireless communication unit 12 is switched from the first wireless communication mode to the second wireless communication mode (S49). Thereby, the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B can perform wireless communication only with the non-contact type IC card 5 close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12. After pressing the process completion confirmation button, the station staff keeps the non-contact IC card 5 from the user and brings the non-contact IC card 5 close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12. The portable recording medium detection device 1B polls the contactless IC card 5 in the wireless communication unit 12 (S50) and waits for a response (S51). The non-contact type IC card 5 that the station staff has brought close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12 acquires an operating power source by electromagnetic coupling using a power carrier wave transmitted from the antenna, and starts operation. The non-contact type IC card 5 transmits recorded card information such as identification information, ticket information (periodic period, periodical validity period, prepaid prepaid amount), entrance / exit information, etc. to the portable recording medium detection device 1B.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B receives the card information transmitted from the non-contact type IC card 5, the GPS unit 21 measures the current position of the device body (S52). When the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B measures the current position of the apparatus main body in S52, the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B recognizes whether the position measured this time is inside or outside the station (S53). The non-contact type IC card 5 records identification information, boarding ticket information (periodic period, periodical validity period, prepaid prepaid amount), entrance / exit information, and the like for the polling of S50 as in the above embodiment. The card information is transmitted to the portable recording medium detection device 1B. When the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B recognizes in S53 whether the current position of the apparatus main body is within the station premises or outside the station premises, the non-contact IC card 5 that has received the card information this time has not yet been processed. It is determined whether or not there is (S54). The determination in S54 is the same as in S37 described above, and if the installation location recognized in S53 is within the station premises and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, the processing is incomplete. The IC card 5 is determined. Further, if the installation location recognized in S53 is outside the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed. On the other hand, if the installation location recognized in S53 is in the station premises and the entrance / exit information included in the card information received this time is entrance, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed. Further, if the installation location recognized in S53 is outside the station premises and the entry / exit information included in the card information received this time is an entry, it is determined that the contactless IC card 5 has not been processed.

  Here, the portable recording medium detection device 1B is configured to measure the current position of the device main body with the GPS unit 21, but is the station staff possessing the device used in advance within the station premises? Further, it may be configured to set whether the station is out of the station with a changeover switch or the like.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines whether or not the processing has been completed in S54, the determination result is displayed on the display screen 13a (S55). For example, if the current position of the portable recording medium detection device 1B is within the station premises, the display shown in FIG. 14A is displayed on the display screen 13a when it is determined in S54 that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed. On the other hand, if it is determined in S54 that the processing has not been completed, the display shown in FIG. 14B is performed on the display screen 13a. By this display, the station staff can confirm whether or not the non-contact IC card 5 deposited from the user has not been processed.

  Further, even if it is determined that the portable recording medium detection device 1B is the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed in S54, the audio output unit 14 does not perform audio notification or the alarm unit 20 vibrates the main body. . In this case, since the station staff consciously confirms whether or not the non-contact type IC card 5 deposited from the user has not been processed, there is a particular problem even if there is no notification by voice or vibration. It does not occur.

  The portable recording medium detection device 1B waits for the display of the determination result in S55 to elapse for a certain time, for example, 30 seconds, or for the display erase button provided on the front of the device body to be pressed (S56, S57). If the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines that a fixed time has elapsed in S56 or that the display deletion button has been pressed in S57, the display unit 13 stops displaying the display screen 13a (S58). Further, the communication mode in the wireless communication unit 12 is switched from the second wireless communication mode to the first wireless communication mode (S59), and the process returns to S31.

  As described above, in the portable recording medium detection device 1B of this embodiment, it is possible to check whether or not the non-contact IC card 5 possessed by the user has not been processed as necessary.

  In addition, when the station staff confirms by the above processing that the non-contact IC card 5 has not been processed in the previous process and has not yet been processed, the non-contact IC card 5 has failed. Reprocess the admission process. The station staff presses an entrance processing button provided in the portable recording medium detection device 1B that he / she has. If the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines that the button pressed in S33 is an entry process button for this operation, the entry process that has failed on the display screen 13a as shown in FIG. A display for instructing to execute the process and to bring the non-contact type IC card 5 closer to the antenna of the main body is performed (S60, S61). Further, the communication mode in the wireless communication unit 12 is switched from the first wireless communication mode to the second wireless communication mode (S62). Thereby, the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B can perform wireless communication only with the non-contact type IC card 5 close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12.

  After pressing the entrance processing button, the station staff brings the non-contact IC card 5 stored by the user close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12. At this time, the portable recording medium detection device 1 </ b> B is connected to the center 7 via the station server 6 via the connection interface 22. The portable recording medium detection device 1B polls the contactless IC card 5 in the wireless communication unit 12 (S63) and waits for a response (S64). The non-contact type IC card 5 that the station staff has brought close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12 acquires an operating power source by electromagnetic coupling using a power carrier wave transmitted from the antenna, and starts operation. The non-contact type IC card 5 transmits recorded card information such as identification information, ticket information (periodic period, periodical validity period, prepaid amount), entrance / exit information, etc. to the portable recording medium detection device 1B.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B receives the card information transmitted from the non-contact type IC card 5, the center 7 connected to the connection interface 22 via the station server 6 is contactless at S64. Along with the identification information included in the card information transmitted from the smart IC card 5, the non-contact IC card 5 identified by this identification information is requested for data related to the failed entrance process (S65). Information relating to the use of the automatic ticket gate 2 is transmitted from the station server 6 of each station to the center 7, and the use history of the non-contact type IC card 5 is managed in association with the identification information. In response to a request from the portable recording medium detection device 1B, the center 7 transmits data related to the corresponding entrance process.

  The portable recording medium detection device 1 </ b> B reprocesses the non-contact type IC card 5 regarding the entrance process that has not been processed, based on the data related to the entrance process transmitted from the station server 6. (S66). When the portable recording medium detection device 1 completes the reprocessing related to the entrance processing that has not been completed, the portable recording medium detection device 1 displays a message indicating that the reprocessing has been completed on the display screen 13a (see FIG. 16) (S67). The wireless communication unit 12 is switched from the second wireless communication mode to the first wireless communication mode (S68), and the process returns to S31. The message displayed on the display screen 13a in S67 is deleted after a predetermined time. The station staff returns to the user the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed and has been subjected to entrance processing.

  In addition, when the station staff confirms by the above processing that the non-contact IC card 5 has not yet been processed in the previous entry process, Re-process the entry process. The station clerk presses an entry processing button provided in the portable recording medium detection device 1B possessed by the station staff. If the portable recording medium detection device 1B determines that the button pressed in S33 is an entry process button for this operation, the entry process that has failed on the display screen 13a as shown in FIG. A display for instructing to execute the process and to bring the non-contact type IC card 5 close to the antenna of the main body is performed (S69, S70). Further, the communication mode in the wireless communication unit 12 is switched from the first wireless communication mode to the second wireless communication mode (S71). Thereby, the portable recording medium detection apparatus 1B can perform wireless communication only with the non-contact type IC card 5 close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12.

  After pressing the participation process button, the station staff brings the non-contact IC card 5 stored by the user close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12. At this time, the portable recording medium detection device 1 </ b> B is connected to the center 7 via the station server 6 through the connection interface 22. The portable recording medium detection device 1B polls the contactless IC card 5 in the wireless communication unit 12 (S72) and waits for a response (S73). The non-contact type IC card 5 that the station staff has brought close to the antenna of the wireless communication unit 12 acquires an operating power source by electromagnetic coupling using a power carrier wave transmitted from the antenna, and starts operation. The non-contact type IC card 5 transmits recorded card information such as identification information, ticket information (periodic period, periodical validity period, prepaid amount), entrance / exit information, etc. to the portable recording medium detection device 1B.

  When the portable recording medium detection device 1B receives the card information transmitted from the non-contact type IC card 5, the portable recording medium detection device 1B transmits the card information from the non-contact type IC card 5 to the center 7 connected to the connection interface 22 in S73. Along with the identification information included in the card information that has been sent, the contactless IC card 5 identified by this identification information is requested for data relating to the failed entry process (S74). As described above, information relating to the use of the automatic ticket gate 2 is transmitted to the center 7 from the station server 6 of each station, and the usage history of the non-contact type IC card 5 is managed in association with the identification information. Has been. In response to a request from the portable recording medium detection device 1B, the center 7 transmits data related to the corresponding entry process.

  The portable recording medium detection device 1 </ b> B reprocesses the participation process that has not been processed for the non-contact IC card 5 based on the data related to the participation process transmitted from the station server 6 ( S75). When the portable recording medium detection device 1B completes the reprocessing of the participation process that has not been completed, the portable recording medium detection device 1B displays a message indicating that the reprocessing has been completed on the display screen 13a (see FIG. 18) (S76). The communication unit 12 is switched from the second wireless communication mode to the first wireless communication mode (S77), and the process returns to S31. The message displayed on the display screen 13a in S77 is deleted after a predetermined time. The station staff returns to the user the non-contact IC card 5 that has not been processed and has been subjected to entrance processing.

  Thus, the station staff who possesses the portable recording medium detection device 1B is the user who possesses the non-contact IC card 5 that has not completed the previous entrance process or the exit process and has not yet been processed. If the confirmation is made, it is possible to re-process the entrance process or the exit process that has failed for the contactless IC card 5 possessed by the user on the spot. Therefore, the occurrence frequency of users who pass through the passage of the automatic ticket gate 2 using the non-contact IC card 5 that has failed in the previous entrance process or the entry process is suppressed, and the ticket gate efficiency in the automatic ticket gate 2 is reduced. Can be prevented. In addition, since re-processing can be performed for entrance processing and participation processing that have not been processed, the service for users can be improved.

  Further, if the recording medium detection device 1 of this embodiment determines that the button pressed in S33 is a settlement processing button, the settlement processing for the non-contact type IC card 5 is performed (S78, S79). Further, if it is determined that the button pressed in S33 is a deposit process button, a deposit process for the non-contact type IC card 5 is performed (S80, S81). When a button other than those described above provided on the operation unit 15 is pressed, processing (other processing) corresponding to the pressed button is executed (S82).

  In this way, since the settlement process and the deposit process can be performed, the service for the user can be further improved.
