Description

The present invention relates to a management system.

  Some transportation facilities that carry people by means of transportation such as trains have facilities (for example, stations) for getting on and off the transportation means. In transportation facilities having such facilities, in recent years, IC cards (communication devices) having communication functions and data processing functions have been adopted as commuter passes or prepaid cards. By adopting such an IC card, it is possible to reduce the trouble of passing through the ticket gate and improve convenience, and to perform automatic settlement when used outside the commuter pass section.

  For example, in the commuter pass, it is possible to enter and exit from the facility arbitrarily in the commuter pass section. However, the commuter pass is issued on the premise that the commuter pass is used for transportation, and is not assumed to be used as an admission ticket. For this reason, users who entered from the facility that had entered the site were asked to purchase an admission ticket even if the facility was in the regular section. In order to properly use commuter passes, some facilities have automatic ticket gates that do not allow users to pass through.

  In a facility where such an automatic ticket gate is installed, if the user simply wants to enter, the user must go through a procedure at the window when entering the venue or purchase an entrance ticket and enter. For this reason, in such a case, troublesome work must be performed in order to appropriately use the transportation facility, and convenience by having an IC card (commuter pass) cannot be obtained. From this, it is considered that it is important to achieve the appropriate use of transportation while avoiding a decrease in convenience for users.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a communication terminal device capable of constructing a communication device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of an automatic ticket gate according to the present embodiment and a communication device capable of communicating therewith.

  The automatic ticket gate 200 monitors and manages entry / exit of users who use facilities for getting on and off a transportation means such as a train. As shown in FIG. 2, a memory 201 in which a program stores various control data, a control unit (for example, a CPU) 202 that executes the program stored in the memory 201 and controls the ticket gate 200 as a whole, An antenna AT3 for communicating with the communication device 300, a reader / writer 203 for communicating with the communication device 300 via the antenna AT3, and a door drive unit 204 for opening and closing a door installed in a passage through which a user passes. And a display screen drive unit 205 that displays a message to be notified to the user, and an audio driver unit 206 that emits a sound to be notified to the user. Although not specifically shown, other ticket processing units for handling sensors and tickets (admission tickets, boarding tickets, magnetic card type commuter passes, etc.) for detecting users passing through ticket gates. Etc. are also provided.

  Specifically, the communication device 300 capable of communicating with the ticket gate 200 having such a configuration is, for example, an IC card (hereinafter described as an IC card). As shown in FIG. 2, the IC card 300 includes an antenna AT4 for communicating with the ticket gate 200, a communication control unit 301 for communicating with the ticket gate 200 via the antenna AT4, and the communication control unit 301. The CPU 302 for exchanging information with the ticket gate 200, etc., the memory 303 used for storing programs and information to be exchanged, and the power supplied to each part are generated from the current generated in the antenna AT4. And a power generation circuit 304.

  The IC card 300 having such a configuration is assumed to be used as at least one of a commuter pass and a prepaid card. For this purpose, the memory 303 stores commuter pass information indicating the contents of the commuter pass, and money amount information indicating an available amount (hereinafter referred to as “point” or “point value”). Points can be charged using a terminal device installed in the facility. The contents of the commuter pass indicated by the commuter pass information include a commuter pass section and a valid period.

The use of transportation using the IC card 300 is performed as follows.
The IC card 300 has a communicable distance of about several centimeters, for example. For this reason, the user who intends to enter the facility causes the IC card 300 to communicate with the designated place where the antenna AT3 of the automatic ticket gate 300 is provided, for example.

  The control unit 202 of the ticket gate 200 is in a communication waiting state, for example, by driving the reader / writer 203 intermittently at all times. For this reason, when the user moves the IC card 300 to a designated location, the power generation circuit 304 generates power and starts supplying the power to each unit. Thereby, the CPU 302 controls the communication control unit 301 to start communication with the automatic ticket checker 200 and transmits the commuter pass information and the money amount information stored in the memory 303 to the automatic ticket checker 200.

  When the control unit 202 of the automatic ticket checker 200 is notified of the information from the IC card 300, whether or not the user satisfies the conditions for entering the facility from the information, that is, the IC card 300 is a commuter pass, Alternatively, it is determined whether the card is valid as a prepaid card. As a result, if the commuter pass is valid and the facility where the commuter pass is installed is in the commuter pass section, or if the facility is outside the commuter pass section and points remain for the admission fee, the user can enter It is determined that the condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, the door driving unit 204 is driven to close the door, and the display screen driving unit 205 and the audio driver unit 206 are driven to notify the user to that effect. On the contrary, if it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the door drive unit 204 is driven as necessary to open the door, and the display screen drive unit 205 and the audio driver unit 206 are driven to indicate that. Notify users. Further, data indicating the facility where the device is installed (hereinafter referred to as “ticket gate name”) is transmitted to the IC card 300 and stored in the memory 303. This is to make it possible to collect charges according to the usage section. Hereinafter, a typical “station” is assumed as a facility, and a train is assumed as a means of transportation. The transportation facility may have transportation means other than trains.

  Similarly, when trying to participate in a station (facility), the user causes the IC card 300 to contact a designated place where the antenna AT3 of the automatic ticket gate 300 is provided, and communicates between them. . Through the communication, commuter pass information, money amount information, and a ticket gate name are transmitted to the automatic ticket gate 200.

  When the information is received from the IC card 300, the control unit 202 of the ticket gate 200 determines whether or not the user satisfies the conditions for entering the station based on the information. The conditions for participation are, for example, that the commuter pass is valid and the use section is in the commuter pass section or has entered, assuming that the user is not going to enter from the same station as when entering the commuter pass section. That is, at least one of the station and the station that is going to participate is outside the commuter pass section and points for the usage fee between the commuter pass sections remain. Thereby, if it is a user who is not going to enter from the same station as the time of admission in the commuter pass section, it is determined that the condition is satisfied if the IC card 300 can be used as at least one of the commuter pass and the prepaid card. When it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, the door driving unit 204 is driven to close the door, and the display screen driving unit 205 and the audio driver unit 206 are driven to notify the user to that effect. On the contrary, if it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the door drive unit 204 is driven as necessary to open the door, and the display screen drive unit 205 and the audio driver unit 206 are driven to indicate that. Notify users. Also, the ticket gate name stored in the IC card 300 is invalidated. If there is a fee to be collected, the IC card 300 is newly stored with the value after subtracting the point for the fee from the current point as the amount information.

  When the user does not satisfy the preconditions, for example, the display screen driving unit 205 displays a message requesting the procedure at the window. If the conditions other than the preconditions are not satisfied, that is, if the points are insufficient, for example, the display screen driving unit 205 displays a message for requesting charging of points. In that way, the contents to be conveyed are changed according to the unsatisfied conditions.

  The invalidation of the ticket gate name stored in the IC card 300 is performed, for example, by clearing (erasing) the ticket gate name, or by storing the ticket gate name entered in association with it. The latter is adopted when the user can check the usage history of the transportation facility. Here, it is assumed that only the former is adopted for convenience.

The transportation facility using the IC card 300 is used as described above.
The IC card 300 has a data processing function, but the performance of the function is actually lower than that of other data processing apparatuses. There are also significant restrictions on the functions that can be installed and the number of functions. Therefore, in this embodiment, the IC card 300 is used in cooperation with another data processing apparatus equipped with a communication function. The communication terminal device 100 shown in FIG. 1 has a function for that purpose, and the communication device according to the present embodiment is constructed by mounting the IC card 300 on the communication terminal device 100. Hereinafter, the communication terminal device 100 is abbreviated as “communication terminal”.

  The communication terminal 100 is a mobile communication terminal device such as a mobile phone or PHS, for example. As shown in FIG. 1, an antenna AT1 for performing communication via a mobile communication network such as a cellular phone network, and an RF (Radio Frequency) for performing frequency conversion, modulation / demodulation and the like of a radio signal transmitted / received via the antenna AT1. ) Unit 101, I / O unit 102 for communicating with IC card 300, antenna AT2 for communicating with IC card 300 or automatic ticket gate 200, and reader for communicating via antenna AT2 / Writer 103, GPS unit 104 that processes a signal transmitted from a geodetic satellite received by an antenna (not shown) to acquire position information indicating the current position, CPU 105 that controls the entire terminal 100, and CPU 105 A memory 106 for storing a program to be executed and various control data, a liquid crystal display (LCD) 107, and a key having various keys. Group 108, vibrator unit 109 for notifying incoming call by vibration, speaker unit 110 for emitting voice of the other party, ringer unit 111 for notifying incoming call by voice, and input voice to be transmitted A microphone unit 112, an LED group 113 having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and a battery 114 for supplying power to each unit.

  The IC card 300 is detachably attached to the communication terminal 100. The I / O unit 102 communicates with the set IC card 300 as a target. For example, an antenna, a reader / writer, and a sensor for detecting the IC card 300 are provided. CPU105 confirms the presence or absence of IC card 300 using the sensor.

  The memory 106 collectively represents, for example, a ROM and a RAM. The program executed by the CPU 105 is stored in the ROM, and the RAM is used for work. The RF unit 101 receives and processes a signal transmitted from a mobile communication network. The received signal is demodulated and output to the CPU 105. At the time of a telephone call, the CPU 105 outputs the signal to the speaker unit 110 to emit sound from the connection destination (the telephone connected to the telephone). The audio signal from the microphone unit 112 is modulated and transmitted via the antenna AT1 by being output to the RF unit 101.

The key unit 108 includes operation elements such as various keys to be operated by the user, and a detection circuit that detects operations performed by the user on the various operation elements.
In the above configuration, the operation will be described while paying attention when using the transportation facility.

  When the CPU 105 of the communication terminal 100 confirms that the IC card 300 is mounted by the I / O unit 102, for example, the CPU 105 instructs the reader / writer 103 to monitor the signal received by the antenna AT2, thereby causing traffic Shift to a state that can be used for institutional use. Thereby, the communication terminal 100 performs communication with the automatic ticket gate 200 instead of the IC card 300.

  In this way, in the present embodiment, the automatic ticket gate 200 is roughly divided to communicate with two types of communication devices, that is, the IC card 300 and the communication device on which the IC card 300 is mounted. Depending on the type, the automatic ticket checker 200 can take different actions. For this reason, in communication, the type of communication device is notified to the automatic ticket gate 200 at the start of the session. Here, for convenience, it is assumed that only the communication terminal 100 is assumed as the communication device with the IC card 300 attached.

  When it is time to enter the station, the communication terminal 100 transmits commuter pass information and money amount information to the automatic ticket gate 200 in the same manner as the IC card 300. The control unit 202 of the automatic ticket gate 200 to which such information is transmitted, if the user satisfies the conditions for entry, in addition to the ticket gate name, the control unit 202 also displays the current time (current time), for example, the position where the station is provided. Station GPS information to be displayed, and station area information indicating a range where the station exists centering on the position indicated by the GPS information, for example, are transmitted.

  The CPU 105 of the communication terminal 100 that has received the information drives the GPS unit 104 at any time to confirm the current position, and determines whether or not the train is used from the confirmed current position, station GPS information, and station area information. To do. The presence / absence of use of the train, the confirmed current position, and the like are stored in the memory 106 as action information indicating actions taken by the user using the transportation facility.

  Such behavior information is transmitted to the automatic ticket gate 200 together with the ticket gate name when participating from the station. As a result, the control unit 202 of the automatic ticket gate 200 further specifies whether or not there is a fee to be collected from the user in consideration of the action information transmitted together with the ticket name, and if there is such a fee, specifies the amount. It is determined whether or not the user meets the conditions for participation. For a user who satisfies the condition and has a fee to be collected, automatic settlement is performed by subtracting the amount of points from the current point.

  In this way, by transmitting information indicating the action taken by the user to the automatic ticket gate 200, it becomes possible to specify how the user has used the transportation facility. Specifically, whether the user who tried to enter from the same station where he / she entered got on the train, if he got on the train, the riding section, if he did n’t get on the train, Etc. can be specified. For this reason, even if a user tries to enter from the same station where he / she entered, the fee to be collected, which is caused by the content of the action actually taken by the user, is appropriately collected by automatic settlement as necessary. can do. As a result, a fee according to the mode of use of the transportation facility is collected from the user by automatic settlement while avoiding a decrease in convenience, and the user can always use the transportation facility appropriately.

  Hereinafter, the operations of the communication terminal 100 and the automatic ticket gate 200 that realize appropriate use of such transportation will be described in detail with reference to various flowcharts shown in FIGS.

First, the operation of the communication terminal 100 will be described.
3 and 4 are flowcharts of the ticket gate process. The ticket gate process is a process executed when the communication terminal 100 is ready to communicate with the automatic ticket gate 200. For example, it is activated by an interrupt signal output from the reader / writer 103 that has detected the current flowing through the antenna AT2 when the state is reached. First, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the operation when communicating with the automatic ticket gate 200 will be described in detail. The operation is realized by, for example, the CPU 105 of the communication terminal 100 executing a program stored in the ROM constituting the memory 106. The same applies to the operation when other processes are executed.

  First, in step ST1, it is determined whether or not the communication is at the time of admission. As with the IC card 300, the ticket gate name transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 200 is stored when entering. From this, when the ticket gate name is not stored in the memory 106, the determination is YES as the communication at the time of entry, and the process proceeds to step ST2. Otherwise, the determination is no and the process moves to step ST8 in FIG.

  In step ST2, information indicating the type of communication device, commuter pass information, and money amount information are transmitted to the automatic ticket gate 200 by communication, and then the current time, ticket name, station GPS information, transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 200, And it is acquired by receiving station area information. Thereafter, both the entrance flag and the moving flag, which are variables, are turned on and off respectively (steps ST3 and ST4), and the current time obtained in step ST2 is substituted for the passing time that is a variable (step ST5). After canceling the prohibition of execution of the timer interrupt process for checking the current position by driving the unit 104 (step ST6), the series of processes is terminated.

  The prohibition of execution of the timer interrupt process (hereinafter referred to as “GPS timer interrupt process”) is canceled by, for example, canceling the masking of the corresponding bit in the interrupt flag register. The on-off flag and the on-going flag are turned on and off by changing the value assigned to them. These flags are information indicating whether or not the user has boarded the train. When it is considered that the user has not boarded the train, the entry flag is turned on and the moving flag is turned off. The commuter pass information and money amount information stored in the IC card 300 are read from the IC card 300 by the I / O unit and stored in the memory 106 when, for example, it is detected that the card is attached.

  In step ST8 of FIG. 4 in which the determination in step ST1 is NO and the process proceeds, communication at the time of entry includes an entry flag, a movement flag, a transit time, a ticket gate name, commuter pass information, and money amount information (“IC in the figure” And the position information are transmitted to the automatic ticket gate 200.

  The position information is information indicating a place where the user has moved from the station, as will be described later. By transmitting various types of information including the position information, the automatic ticket gate 200 can appropriately collect a fee for the user according to the actual usage form of the transportation facility.

  In step ST9 following step ST8, it waits to receive a response from the automatic ticket gate 200. If the response is received, it will transfer to step ST10, and it will be determined whether money amount information (point) was received. If the point is received, the determination is YES, and the point is overwritten in the memory 303 of the IC card 300 as monetary information as necessary (step ST11), and each flag and other data, that is, passage time, position information, etc. Is cleared and execution of the GPS timer interrupt process is prohibited (step ST12), and the series of processes is terminated. On the other hand, when that is not right, determination is NO and it transfers to the step ST12 next.

  The point overwriting is performed by sending the point to be overwritten to the I / O unit 102 and instructing the writing thereof. The overwriting itself is performed only when the point received from the automatic ticket gate 200 is different from the current point, for example.

  The automatic ticket checker 200 that has received the various information transmitted by the execution of the process of step ST8 analyzes the information and determines whether or not the user satisfies the conditions for participation, and according to the determination result. Take corrective action. The response for transmitting points to the communication terminal 100 is performed when it is determined that the condition is satisfied. If not, the door is closed and the ticket gate is rejected. For this reason, in this case, the determination in step ST10 is NO, and the series of processing ends.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the GPS timer interrupt process in which the execution prohibition is canceled by executing the process of step ST6. The interrupt process is executed at regular time intervals in order to detect the current position, check the presence / absence of getting on the train, the place moved by the train, and save the result of the detection. Next, the interrupt processing will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  First, in step ST21, the GPS unit 104 is operated to detect the current position. In the following step ST22, the current position (information) detected by the operation is acquired from the GPS unit 104. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step ST23, where it is determined whether or not the difference between the current position and the position indicated by the station GPS information (indicated as “| current position−station GPS information |” in the figure) is larger than the range indicated by the station area information. To do. If the detected current position is outside the station area specified by the station GPS information and the station area information, the difference (distance) between them is greater than the range indicated by the station area information, so the determination is YES Therefore, the process proceeds to step ST24. Otherwise, the determination is no, and the series of processes ends here.

  The fact that the user has moved out of the station area means that the user has moved on the train. Therefore, the moving flag is turned on in step ST24, and the entering flag is turned off in the next step ST25. Then, the process proceeds to step ST26.

  The confirmation of the location where the user has moved is targeted for users who have moved outside the station area. As for the storage of location information indicating the location, it is normal for a station to be located at a distance from the next station, and since the route of the laid track is known, the location from where it was previously It is sufficient to go to a certain distance (hereinafter referred to as “movement condition”). By doing so, it is possible to suppress the amount of data transmitted to and received from the automatic ticket gate 200 while maintaining high accuracy in identifying the user's boarding section. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is determined whether or not the movement condition is satisfied, and information on the current position is stored (stored).

  In step ST26, it is determined whether or not the difference between the position information stored as behavior information in the memory 106 and the detected current position (indicated as “| current position−stored position |” in the figure) is greater than a predetermined distance set in advance. To do. If the user moves to a place away from the predetermined distance from any place where the position information has been stored, the moving condition is satisfied, so the determination is YES, and the current position is determined in step ST27. After the position information to be shown is stored in the memory 106, a series of processing ends. Otherwise, the determination is no and the series of processing ends here.

  In this way, when the user gets on the train, the moving flag is turned on, the entering flag is turned off, and the position information is stored so that the boarding section can be accurately identified. By storing such information as behavior information, it is possible to appropriately collect charges for the user according to the actual usage mode of the transportation facility.

Next, the operation of the automatic ticket gate 200 will be described.
6 to 8 are flowcharts of the entire process. The overall processing is an overall flow of the processing performed by the automatic ticket checker 200, focusing on the communication terminal 100. The operation of the automatic ticket gate 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The operation is realized, for example, when the control unit 202 of the automatic ticket gate 200 executes a program stored in the memory 201.

  First, in step SS1, the communication terminal 100 is communicated to wait for detection of a user who tries to pass the ticket gate. When such a user is detected by the reader / writer 203 and a sensor (not shown), the process proceeds to step SS2 and it is determined whether or not it is passing for entry. If the ticket gate name is not received from the terminal 100 through communication with the communication terminal 100, the user passes for entry, the determination is YES, and the process proceeds to step SS3. The determination is no and the process proceeds to step SS7 in FIG.

  In step SS3, the current time, ticket gate name, station GPS information, and station area information are transmitted to the communication terminal 100 via the reader / writer 203. Thereafter, in step SS4, a message such as “Thank you” is displayed on the display screen drive unit 205, and in step SS5, an entrance permission sound for notifying that it can pass is generated in the voice driver unit 206. In SS6, the door drive unit 204 is opened as necessary, and the process returns to Step SS1. The door is opened as necessary because the user may try to pass through the door when the door is open. The current time is acquired from a hard timer provided in the control unit 202, for example.

  As described above, the communication terminal 100 transmits the commuter pass information and the money amount information (points) to the automatic ticket gate 200 when entering. The automatic ticket checker 200 determines whether or not a condition for allowing the user to enter is satisfied from the information, and performs automatic checkout to collect a fee as necessary. These determinations and automatic settlement are performed during the transition from step SS2 to step SS3. However, since this is not particularly important, that portion is omitted. The automatic settlement is performed when the communication terminal 100 is used as a prepaid card.

  Information received from the communication terminal 100 is sent to the control unit 202 via the reader / writer 203 and temporarily stored in the memory 201. In step SS7 of FIG. 7 in which the determination in step SS1 is NO and the process proceeds, information transmitted from the communication terminal 100 at the time of participation, that is, commuter pass information, money amount information (points), an entrance flag, a moving flag, and a passage Time and position information are read from the memory 201 and acquired. In the next step SS8, it is determined whether or not the received ticket gate name is the same as the ticket gate name of the station where the ticket gate is installed. If the user tries to enter from the station that entered, the determination is yes and the process moves to step SS10. If this is not the case, that is, if the station that has entered and the station that is about to enter are different, the determination is no, and the point (value) corresponding to the fee to be collected according to the user's boarding section is determined in step SS9. After calculating and substituting for the use point which is a variable, the process proceeds to step SS15. As a matter of course, if there is no fee to be collected, the value to be assigned to the point of use is already collected in the commuter pass section or by automatic settlement at the time of entry, If it is 0.

  In step SS10, it is determined whether or not the entrance flag is on. If the movement of the user outside the area of the station that has entered is not detected, the flag is on, so the determination is yes and the process moves to step SS11. Otherwise, the determination is It becomes NO and moves to step SS25 of FIG.

  In step SS11, the current time is acquired. In the following step SS12, it is determined whether or not the time difference between the current time and the passage time is greater than 2 hours. If the user attempts to enter the station without entering the train for more than 2 hours after entering the station, the determination is YES, and the entry point that is equivalent to the entrance fee to be collected at step SS14 is used. After substituting for points, the process proceeds to step SS15. Otherwise, the determination is no, and in step SS13, the value obtained by adding the predetermined value α to the entrance fee point is substituted for the use point, and then the process proceeds to step SS15.

  In this way, in the present embodiment, on the basis of 2 hours, a user who stays at the station without getting on the train for a longer time automatically pays an admission amount larger than the normal admission fee. To collect. Note that the reference time length may be determined as appropriate, and may vary depending on the station.

  When a user enters using the communication terminal 100 as a prepaid card, the entrance fee is collected by automatic settlement at the time of entry. For this reason, when such a user moves to step SS14 in order to enter, the admission fee has already been collected at the time of admission, so the value of the admission point becomes zero.

  In step SS15, it is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the used points from the received points (money amount information) is 0 or more. When the automatic settlement performed by updating the points stored in the IC card 300 is not performed or when there are remaining points for the automatic settlement, the determination is YES, and the process proceeds to step SS16. Therefore, the determination is no and the process proceeds to step SS21.

  In step SS16, a value obtained by subtracting the value of the use point from the received point (value) is calculated as a point (value) to be transmitted. In the next step SS17, the point is transmitted to the communication terminal 100. After that, a message such as “Thank you” is displayed on the display screen drive unit 205 in step SS18, and a permission sound for notifying in voice that it can pass is generated in the voice driver unit 206 in step SS19. Then, the door drive unit 204 is opened as necessary, and the process returns to step SS1 in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step SS21, since the point is insufficient, a rejection signal indicating that the user cannot participate is transmitted to the communication terminal 100. In the subsequent step SS22, for example, a message such as “insufficient points” is displayed on the display screen driving unit 205. After that, in step SS23, a warning sound for notifying that it cannot pass is generated in the audio driver unit 206, and in step SS24, the door drive unit 204 is closed as necessary, and then the step of FIG. Return to SS1.

  In step SS25 of FIG. 8 in which the determination in step SS10 is NO and the process proceeds, it is determined whether or not the moving flag is on. If the flag is on, the determination is yes and the process proceeds to step SS26. Otherwise, the determination is no and the process moves to step SS28.

  A determination of YES in step SS25 means that the user tried to enter from the station where he entered even though he was on the train. In order to correspond to such a user, in step SS26, the boarding section of the user is specified from the received position information. In the subsequent step SS27, points (values) corresponding to the tolls to be collected are calculated from the boarding section and the commuter pass section indicated by the commuter pass information, and are substituted into the used points. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SS15 in FIG.

  The above-mentioned boarding section is presumed that the user has surely boarded from the specified route and the location indicated by the position information on the route, for example, by specifying the route on which the location indicated by the location exists for each location information. The boarding section is specified for each route. This is to cope with transfer. The reason for considering the commuter pass section to determine the fee to be collected is that boarding in the commuter pass section is justified by use as a commuter pass. In other words, it is to reliably avoid unjustly collecting charges from the user.

  In this way, in this embodiment, when a user who wants to enter from the same station is on the train, the boarding section is specified, and other than the boarding section that is valid even if the user gets on Charges are made and collected for rides in the area. In this way, since the fee to be collected is collected according to the actual usage contents of the transportation facility, the user always uses the transportation facility appropriately.

  When it is determined NO in Step SS25, both the moving flag and the entering flag are on. However, they are not turned on together. From this, in order to cope with any error occurring, a rejection signal is transmitted to the communication terminal 100 in step SS28. In the subsequent step SS29, for example, a message such as “To window” is displayed on the display screen driving unit 205. In this manner, after notifying the user that a special procedure is necessary, the process proceeds to step SS23 in FIG.

  In this embodiment, the installation of the IC card 300 is a condition for the communication terminal 100 to communicate with the automatic ticket gate 200. This is because the IC card 300 that has been widely used so far is used. This is so that it can be used continuously. When commuter passes can be purchased and points can be charged by the communication terminal 100, communication with the automatic ticket gate 200 may be performed without mounting the IC card 300. That is, the communication terminal 100 itself may be used in place of the IC card 300. The communication terminal 100 may be a data processing device equipped with a PDA or other communication function.

  Although the location for detecting the user's behavior is specified using the GPS unit 104, the specification may be performed using another method. Specifically, for example, when a transportation facility provides various types of information as a service to a user wirelessly for each facility such as a station, the location may be specified from the information. The provider providing the service may be a provider different from the transportation facility such as a communication carrier. User behavior (conditions) for which a fee should be collected, a method for calculating the fee, a method for collecting the fee, and the like may be determined as appropriate.

  A program for realizing the communication terminal (data processing device) 100 and the automatic ticket gate 200 as described above may be recorded and distributed on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD, or a removable flash memory. . Part or all of the program may be distributed via a communication network such as a cellular phone network or a public network. In such a case, the present invention can be applied to an existing data processing apparatus or an automatic ticket gate by acquiring and loading a program. Therefore, the recording medium may be accessible by a device that distributes the program.
