Description

The present invention is provided on a vehicle such as a route bus, the card type ticket that stores the available amount relates to a card-type passenger ticket accounting equipment for performing fare payment for so-called prepaid card type ticket.

  Conventionally, a card-type ticket used on a route bus uses a storage medium such as a magnetic card or an IC card, and the unique data of the card-type field ticket, the amount of money that can be used, etc. are recorded. The fare is deducted from the available amount.

  The card-type ticket settlement apparatus requires a boarding card processing device installed in the vicinity of the boarding gate and a boarding card processing device installed in the vicinity of the boarding gate. In the case of an IC card, when a card-type boarding ticket is placed over the boarding card processing device at the time of boarding, the current location is recorded in the card-type boarding ticket as boarding place data. When you get off the card, if you hold the card-type ticket over the card processing device for getting off, the available amount recorded on the card-type ticket and the boarding location data are read, and the boarding fare is calculated from the boarding location data and the current location. The Furthermore, the boarding fare is subtracted from the available amount, and the remaining amount is recorded as a new available amount on the card-type boarding ticket (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In a card-type ticket settlement apparatus, a boarding fare for a plurality of persons such as parents and children may be settled with a single card-type ticket. For example, when paying the fare for one adult and two children with a single card-type ticket, multiple passengers will be settled before holding the card-type ticket over the card processing device Is declared, the number of passengers for each fare type is set by an operation key operated by the crew. That is, after the operation key is set (“adult”, “1”, “dwarf”, “2”, “input”), when the card-type boarding ticket is placed over the card processing device for getting off, the card type The available amount and boarding location data recorded on the boarding pass are read, and boarding fares for multiple people are calculated based on the boarding location data, current location, and the above operation key settings, and the boarding fares are used as card-type tickets. The remaining amount is subtracted from the effective amount of money, and the remaining amount is recorded on the card-type ticket as a new usable amount (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

In addition, if the card-type ticket is not held over the boarding card processing device when boarding or if the boarding process is not performed normally for some reason and the boarding location data is not recorded on the card-type ticket, the card When the type boarding ticket is held over the card processing device for getting off, the boarding place data cannot be read, so that it is determined as abnormal. In that case, based on the passenger's declaration, the crew will calculate the boarding fare by entering the boarding number corresponding to the boarding place through the operation key, or the crew will enter the boarding fare directly through the operation key Thus, the boarding fare is subtracted from the effective amount of the card-type ticket, and the remaining amount is recorded as a new usable amount in the card-type ticket.

In the case of a card-type ticket that is out of the valid period or has no usable amount, its contents are notified to the passenger by the display 23 and a speaker (not shown) (step S114).

  The flow of processing in the card processing apparatus 3 for getting off is shown in FIGS. When the getting-off card processing device 3 receives the stop data and fare data sent from the central processing device 4 via the I / F 36b (step S115), the stop data is stored in the operation memory 34b, and the fare data is stored in the fare memory 34c. Each is updated and stored (step S116). The stop data stored in the operation memory 34b is transmitted to the boarding card processing device 2 via the I / F 36a. (Step S117).

  When the passenger gets a declaration that the fare for multiple passengers is to be settled with one card-type ticket before the card-type ticket is held over the card processing device 3 for getting off, the crew member presses the numeric keypad 37. Operate and input multi-person data. For example, when the fare settlement for one adult and two children is to be settled with one card-type ticket, “adult”, “1”, “dwarf”, “2” and “setting” are entered by the numeric keypad 37. . When multiple person data is input (step S118), the input multiple person data is stored in the work memory 34a and the internal memory 34d (step 119).

  When getting off the car, if the passenger is a specific discount target, such as an elderly person or a disabled person, the crew inputs specific discount data by operating the numeric keypad 37 before the card-type ticket is held over the card processing device 3 for getting off. To do. For example, when the passenger is an elderly person, “Old Man Discount” and “Setting” are entered by the numeric keypad 37. When the specific discount data is input (step S120), the input specific discount data is stored in the work memory 34a and the internal memory 34d (step 121).

  Also, when boarding without getting a card-type ticket over the boarding card processing device, such as when boarding from the exit door, the crew member will receive a card-type ticket in the card processing device 3 for getting off based on the passenger's declaration. Before being held over, the boarding place number corresponding to the boarding place is input by operating the numeric keypad 37. For example, when boarding from the passenger place code “12”, “Section” “12” “Setting” is input by the numeric keypad 37. When the boarding location data is input (step S122), the input boarding location data is stored in the work memory 34a and the internal memory 34d (step 123).

  When getting off, if the call button 38 is operated before the card-type ticket is held over the card processing device 3 for getting off (step S124), the latest data stored in the internal memory 34d is called (step S125). The called data is stored in the work memory 34a (step S126). When the call button 38 is further operated (step S127), the data stored immediately before the internal memory 34d is called (step S128), and the called data is overwritten and stored in the work memory 34a (step S129). ). Sequentially, each time the call button is operated (step S130), the data stored in the internal memory 34d is called in the reverse order of the storage order, and the called data is overwritten and stored in the work memory 34a.

  When the card-type ticket C is held over the card R / W 31 of the card processing device 3 for getting off (step S131), the valid period recorded on the card-type ticket C, the card unique number, the available amount, and the time of boarding are recorded. The boarding place data is read (step S132), and the controller 32 determines the validity of the card-type boarding ticket (step S133).

When the card type ticket is valid, the work memory 34a is referred to (step S134),
If boarding place data is included in the card type ticket (step S135), the boarding place data is determined as the boarding place (step S136), and if the boarding place data does not contain boarding point data, If the boarding place data is stored in the memory 34a (step S137), the boarding place data is determined as the boarding place. If boarding place data is not stored in the card type ticket or the work memory 34a, an error is displayed (step S144).

  Furthermore, if neither the multiperson data nor the specific discount data is stored in the work memory 34a (step S138), as the normal settlement, the determined boarding location data and the stop data stored in the operation memory 34b (that is, the current location data) ), The boarding fare is calculated with reference to the fare data stored in the fare memory 34c (step S139). In addition, if multiple data is stored in the work memory 34a, a fare for the multiple persons is calculated. Similarly, if specific discount data is included in the work memory 34a, a fare based on the specific discount is calculated. (Step S140)

  After the calculated boarding fare is subtracted from the available amount, the available amount after the subtraction process is added to the card-type ticket C via the card R / W31 together with the stop data (drop-off location data) and the date and time of departure. The recorded available amount after the subtraction process is displayed to the passenger (step S142), and the data stored in the work memory 34a is cleared (step S143). In the case of a card-type ticket that is out of the valid period or has no usable amount, its contents are notified to the passenger by the display 33 and a speaker (not shown) (step S144).

  As described above, when multi-person data, specific discount data, and boarding location data are input in steps S118, S120, and S122, these data are stored in the internal memory 34d. In step S124, the call button When 38 is operated, the latest data stored in the internal memory 34d is called, and the called data is stored in the work memory 34a. In step S127, when the call button 38 is operated, the previous data stored in the internal memory 34d is called, and the called data is overwritten and stored in the work memory 34a. In step S131, when the card-type boarding ticket is held over the card R / W 31 of the card processing device 3 for getting off, the card data is read and the work memory 34a is referred to, and the boarding place is read from the card-type boarding ticket and the work memory 34a. And the fare is calculated based on the determined boarding location. In step S141, the amount data after the subtraction process is stored in the card type ticket C via the card R / W 31, and the data stored in the work memory 34a is cleared. In step S138, if multi-person data or specific discount data is stored in the work memory 34a, the multi-person fare or specific discount fare is calculated, and the fare is subtracted. Therefore, when setting and inputting the same information as the information input so far, it is not necessary to input a new setting only by operating the call button.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the boarding place data is not recorded in the card-type boarding ticket C at the time of boarding, but the boarding place data is stored in the data storage memory of the card processing device 2 for getting off in correspondence with the unique number of the card-type boarding ticket.

In addition, if multiple data is stored in the work memory 34a, a fare for the multiple persons is calculated. Similarly, if specific discount data is included in the work memory 34a, a fare based on the specific discount is calculated. (Step S236)

  After the calculated boarding fare is subtracted from the available amount, the available amount after the subtraction process is used for the card-type ticket C via the card writing unit 31b together with the stop data (drop-off place data) and the departure date and time. (Step S237), the available amount after the subtraction process is displayed to the passenger via the display 33 (step S238), and the data stored in the work memory 34a is cleared (step S239). . In the case of a card-type ticket that is not valid or has no available amount, the contents are notified to the passenger by the display 33 and a speaker (not shown) (step S240).

  As described above, when multi-person data, specific discount data, and boarding location data are input in steps S214, S216, and S218, respectively, these data are stored in the internal memory 34d. When 38 is operated, the latest data stored in the internal memory 34d is called, and the called data is stored in the work memory 34a. In step S223, when the call button 38 is operated, the previous data stored in the internal memory 34d is called, and the called data is overwritten and stored in the work memory 34a. In step S227, when the card-type boarding ticket is inserted into the card processing device 3 for getting off the car, the card data is read and the work memory 34a and the internal memory 34d are referred to, and the card-type boarding ticket, the work memory 34a and the internal memory are read. The boarding location is determined from 34d, and the fare is calculated based on the determined boarding location. In step S237, the money amount data after the subtraction process is stored in the card type ticket C via the card writing unit 31b, and the data stored in the work memory 34a is cleared. In step S234, if multi-person data or specific discount data is stored in the work memory 34a, the multi-person fare or specific discount fare is calculated, and the fare is subtracted. Therefore, when setting and inputting the same information as the information input so far, it is not necessary to input a new setting only by operating the call button.

  In the above embodiment, when boarding without boarding a card-type ticket on the boarding card processing apparatus when boarding, the crew member inputs the boarding number corresponding to the boarding place via the numeric keypad 37 based on the passenger's declaration. Although the example of calculating the boarding fare by the above has been described, the present invention can also be applied when the crew member directly inputs the boarding fare instead of the boarding place number. That is, the boarding fare inputted via the numeric keypad 37 may be stored in the internal memory 34d, and the inputted boarding fare may be called by operating the calling button 38.
