  The CPU 50 performs overall control and performs various image processing and recognition processing as described later.

  When the user M puts the glasses-like wearable ticket medium 100 configured as described above into a medium-range wireless communication area with the automatic ticket gate device 200 in the same manner as normal glasses, the automatic ticket gate device 200 causes the ticket The ticket gate process is performed by performing medium-range wireless communication with the medium 100.

  In addition, when the user M wears the glasses-like wearable ticket medium 100 in the same manner as normal glasses, the camera 43 captures an image of the imaged part by directing his / her face toward the imaged part. ing.

  Next, the operation of the ticket gate system using the wearable ticket medium 100 according to the present embodiment in the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, when the user M uses the ticket gate system, for example, the user M purchases a commuter pass purchased by performing communication by middle-range wireless communication between the wearable ticket medium 100 and an automatic ticket vending machine installed at a station. Information or purchased SF card information is downloaded to the memory 47. Alternatively, it is downloaded to the memory 47 by requesting download of commuter pass information or SF card information to the wearable ticket medium 100 at the station. Furthermore, downloading may be performed via the Internet through a home wireless LAN.

  Next, when using the ticket gate system, the user M puts the wearable ticket medium 100 in the same manner as normal glasses, and heads for the ticket gate 2 and enters the mid-range wireless communication area with the automatic ticket gate device 200. Then (step S1), the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 starts medium-range wireless communication with the ticket medium 100 via the communication unit 33 and the antenna unit 34 (step S2).

  When the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 starts communication with the ticket medium 100, the CPU 50 of the ticket medium 100 that has received the first guidance instruction transmits the first guidance instruction to the ticket medium 100. For example, the display device 48 guides and displays “I can pass through the automatic ticket gate”, and the voice output device 49 guides, for example, “I can pass through the automatic ticket gate” by voice (step S3).

Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 determines whether or not the ticket medium 100 has recognized the cancel operation of the ticket gate process performed by the user (step S4).
That is, when the user M performs a canceling operation of the ticket gate process by a specific gesture such as moving his / her hand left and right within the imaging range of the camera 43, the CPU 50 performs the canceling operation according to the captured image obtained from the camera 43 at that time. And the recognition result of the canceling operation is transmitted to the automatic ticket gate 200 via the communication unit 46 and the antenna 45 by medium-range wireless communication. When the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200 receives the recognition result of the cancel operation transmitted from the ticket medium 100, the main control unit 21 determines that the user M does not intend to use the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200, and Cancel the ticket gate processing.

  As a result of the determination in step S4, if the recognition result of the cancel operation transmitted from the ticket medium 100 is not received, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 reads the IC reading / writing unit 6 from the ticket medium 100. It is determined whether or not the pattern 13 and the machine number 14 have been recognized (step S5).

  That is, when the user M heading for the passage 2 turns his gaze toward the part of the pattern 13 and the machine number 14 of the IC reading / writing unit 6, the camera 43 captures an image of that part. At that time, the CPU 50 recognizes the logo and shape of the pattern 13 and the machine number 14 from the captured image obtained from the camera 43, and sends the recognition result to the automatic ticket gate device 200 through the communication unit 46 and the antenna 45 by medium-range wireless communication. Send.

  When the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 receives the recognition result of the pattern 13 and the machine number 14 transmitted from the ticket medium 100, the recognition result of the pattern 13 is set as setting information (for example, pre-registered dictionary information). ) And the recognition result of the machine number 14 is set information (the machine number as identification information unique to the automatic ticket gate 200, for example, the machine number 14 of the IC reading / writing unit 6) (Same value) is determined (step S6).

  As a result of the determination in step S6, when the recognition result of the pattern 13 and the machine number 14 transmitted from the ticket medium 100 is not received or as a result of the determination in step S6, the pattern 13 transmitted from the ticket medium 100 If at least one of the recognition results of the machine number 14 does not match the setting information, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 returns to step S4 and repeats the same operation as described above.

  As a result of the determination in step S6, when the recognition result of the pattern 13 and the machine number 14 transmitted from the ticket medium 100 coincides with the setting information, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 determines that the user M is the automatic ticket gate. It is determined that the device 200 passes through, and it is determined whether or not the human detectors S1 to S26 have detected the user M entering the passage 2 (step S7).

  As a result of the determination in step S7, when the human detectors S1 to S26 do not detect entry of the user M into the passage 2, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 determines that the user M is the automatic ticket gate device 200. It is determined that the use of has been stopped and returned to the outside of the passage 2, the process returns to step S1, and the same operation as described above is repeated.

As a result of the determination in step S7, when the human detectors S1 to S26 detect entry of the user M into the passage 2, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 performs the antenna unit 7 of the IC reading / writing unit 6. Is lit blue (passable) or red (passable) (step S8).
The determination in step S8 is performed by referring to the contents of the display control since the main control unit 21 performs display control of the antenna unit 7 via the display control unit 29.

If the result of determination in step S <b> 8 is that the antenna unit 7 is lit red, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 receives this by sending a second guidance instruction to the ticket medium 100. For example, the CPU 50 of the ticket medium 100 displays a guidance message such as “This automatic ticket gate cannot be processed at this time” on the display device 48, and voice guidance indicates, for example, “This automatic ticket gate cannot be processed at this time” on the voice output device 49. (Step S9).
Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200 returns to step S4 and repeats the same operation as described above.

  If the result of determination in step S <b> 8 is that the antenna unit 7 is lit blue, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 receives this by sending a third guidance instruction to the ticket medium 100. For example, the CPU 50 of the ticket medium 100 displays a guidance message such as “Please pass this automatic ticket gate as it is” on the display device 48 and voices “Please pass this automatic ticket gate as it is” on the voice output device 49. (Step S10).

  Whether the antenna unit 7 is lit in blue or red can be determined by an image from the camera 43, but may be determined by communication with the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200.

Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 acquires the ticket information from the ticket medium 100 through medium-range wireless communication (step S11).
That is, the main control unit 21 sends a read command to the ticket medium 100 via the communication unit 33 and the antenna unit 34. Upon receiving this, the CPU 50 of the ticket medium 100 reads the ticket information such as commuter pass information and SF card information from the memory 47, and the ticket information is automatically transmitted through the communication unit 46 and the antenna 45 by medium distance wireless communication. It transmits to the ticket gate apparatus 200.

Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 determines whether or not commuter pass information exists in the ticket information acquired from the ticket medium 100 (step S12).
If the result of determination in step S12 is that there is commuter pass information, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 performs commuter pass determination processing (determining whether the boarding ticket medium 100 is valid as a commuter pass) ( Step S13).

  As a result of the determination in step S13, if the determination is OK (the ticket medium 100 is valid as a commuter pass), the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 determines whether or not the expiration date is about to expire due to the expiration date in the commuter pass information. Determination is made (step S14).

If the result of determination in step S <b> 14 is that the expiration date is not nearly expired, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 transmits a fourth guidance instruction to the ticket medium 100, so that the ticket medium 100 that has received this is notified. The CPU 50 guides and displays, for example, “Ticket processing has been performed” on the display device 48 and also guides, for example, “has performed the ticket gate processing” by voice using the voice output device 49 (step S15).
Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200 performs a ticket gate determination OK process (an opening process of the door 9 via the door control unit 28) and permits the user M to pass (step S16).

If the result of determination in step S <b> 14 is that the expiration date is about to expire, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 transmits a fifth guidance instruction to the ticket medium 100, thereby receiving the ticket medium 100 that has received this. The CPU 50 displays, for example, “The ticket gate processing has been completed. The commuter pass is about to expire” on the display device 48, and the voice output device 49 displays, for example, “The ticket gate has been processed. The commuter pass is about to expire. "By voice (step S17).
Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200 performs a ticket gate determination OK process (an opening process of the door 9 via the door control unit 28) and permits the user M to pass (step S16).

  If the result of determination in step S12 is that there is no commuter pass information, or if the result of determination in step S13 is determination NG (the ticket medium 100 is invalid as a commuter pass), the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 Performs SF card determination processing (determination of whether or not there is a balance) based on the SF card information in the ticket information acquired from the ticket medium 100 (step S18).

  As a result of the determination in step S18, if the determination is OK (there is a remaining amount), the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 performs a fee withdrawal process (step S19). The fee withdrawal process may be performed on the automatic ticket gate 200 side or on the ticket medium 100 side. As an example, a description will be given of a case where the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200 performs the calculation. The calculation of deducting the current usage fee from the remaining amount (amount information) in the SF card information acquired from the ticket medium 100 is performed, and the calculation result is updated. By sending the remaining amount to the ticket medium 100, the SF card information (remaining amount) in the memory 47 is rewritten.

Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 transmits a sixth guidance instruction to the ticket medium 100, and the CPU 50 of the ticket medium 100 that has received this transmits, for example, a “ticket gate” by the display device 48. A message is displayed indicating that the remaining amount is 800 yen, and the voice output device 49 guides, for example, “The ticket has been processed. The remaining amount is 800 yen” by voice (step S20).
Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate apparatus 200 performs a ticket gate determination OK process (an opening process of the door 9 via the door control unit 28) and permits the user M to pass (step S16).

If the result of determination in step S <b> 18 is determination NG (there is no balance), the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate 200 transmits a seventh guidance instruction to the ticket medium 100, thereby receiving the boarding The CPU 50 of the ticket medium 100 guides and displays, for example, “There is no remaining amount. Please charge” on the display device 48, and also, for example, “Insufficient remaining amount. Please charge” on the voice output device 49. (Step S21).
Next, the main control unit 21 of the automatic ticket gate device 200 performs a ticket gate determination NG process (a process for closing the door 9 via the door control unit 28) to prevent the user M from passing (step S22).

  In the above embodiment, the case has been described where the pattern 13 and the machine number 14 of the IC reading / writing unit 6 are read and recognized by the ticket medium 100 and it is determined whether or not it matches the setting information.
