Description

本発明は、運賃決済システムおよび運賃決済方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a fare settlement system and a fare settlement method.

現在、公共交通機関において、紙の切符ではなく、RFIDを内蔵したトークンや非接触型のカードによる運賃決済手法が世界的な標準になりつつある。特に都市における公共交通機関においてはその傾向が顕著である。 Currently, in public transportation, fare payment methods using tokens with built-in RFID and contactless cards instead of paper tickets are becoming the global standard. This tendency is particularly noticeable in public transportation in cities.

また、そうした非接触型のカードによる運賃決済手法において、いわゆるポストペイド式の運賃決済手法も提案されている。該当技術と関連する従来技術としては、例えば、複数の自動改札装置と、交通事業者端末装置と、複数の雇用者端末装置とがネットワークを介して接続されたネットワークシステムに於ける運賃請求方法であって、前記各自動改札装置は、入札時に於いては、入札者が所有しているカードに記録されている利用者IDと入札場所とを含む利用開始データを前記交通事業者端末装置に送信し、出札時に於いては、出札者が所有しているカードに記録されている利用者IDと出札場所とを含む利用終了データを前記交通事業者端末装置へ送信し、前記交通事業者端末装置は、自動改札装置から送られてきた利用者IDが同一の利用開始データと利用終了データとに基づいて前記利用者IDの利用者に対する運賃を算出し、該算出した運賃を含む運賃請求データを、前記複数の雇用者端末装置の内の、前記利用者IDに対して予め決められている雇用者端末装置へ送信し、前記各雇用者端末装置は、前記交通事業者端末装置から送られてきた運賃請求データを記憶装置に格納することを特徴とする運賃請求方法(特許文献1参照)などが提案されている。 In addition, a so-called postpaid fare settlement method has also been proposed as a fare settlement method using such a contactless card. Conventional techniques related to the relevant technology include, for example, a fare billing method in a network system in which a plurality of automatic ticket gate devices, a transportation company terminal device, and a plurality of employer terminal devices are connected via a network. Therefore, at the time of bidding, each of the automatic ticket gate devices transmits usage start data including the user ID and the bidding place recorded on the card owned by the bidder to the transportation company terminal device. However, at the time of ticketing, the usage end data including the user ID and the ticketing place recorded on the card owned by the ticketer is transmitted to the transportation company terminal device, and the transportation company terminal device is used. Calculates the fare for the user with the user ID based on the usage start data and the usage end data with the same user ID sent from the automatic ticket gate, and calculates the fare billing data including the calculated fare. , The user ID is transmitted to the predetermined employer terminal device among the plurality of employer terminal devices, and each of the employer terminal devices is sent from the transportation operator terminal device. A fare billing method (see Patent Document 1), which comprises storing the fare billing data in a storage device, has been proposed.

以下に本発明の実施形態について図面を用いて詳細に説明する。図1は本実施形態の運賃決済システム100を含むネットワーク構成例を示す図である。図1に示す運賃決済システム100は、交通機関ユーザにおける良好な利便性と、交通事業者や決済事業者における決済リスク低減とを両立するためのコンピュータシステムである。
--- Network configuration ---
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a network configuration including the fare settlement system 100 of the present embodiment. The fare settlement system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a computer system for achieving both good convenience for transportation users and reduction of settlement risk for transportation operators and settlement operators.

こうした運賃決済システム100は、適宜なネットワーク10を介し、少なくとも、交通機関の各駅務機器200、交通機関の運賃決済を担う金融機関サーバ300、および精算用端末400と、データ通信可能に接続されている。運賃決済システム100は、具体的には、サーバ装置を想定する。ここで、運賃決済システム100における各機能を、ネットワーク10上におけるクラウドサービスとして提供するとしてもよい。この場合、運賃決済システム100をいわゆるオンプレミスで交通事業者ごとに導入および運用する場合と比較し、運賃決済システム向けのコンピュータリソースを交通事業者間を跨がって効率的に導入、運用することが可能となり、各種コストや手間を大幅に低減出来る。なお、クラウドサービスとして運賃決済システム100の機能を提供する場合、サービス提供用の1または複数のサーバ装置をネットワーク10上に配置し、これに、運賃決済システム100の記憶装置101で保持するプログラムや各種データ類を適宜に配置する。また、このサーバ装置には、ネットワーク10のプロトコルに基づく、交通事業者等の装置からの所定指示に対し、運賃決済システム100としての処理を実行し、その処理結果を返すサーバ機能が当然備わる。 Such a fare settlement system 100 is connected to at least each station affairs device 200 of transportation, a financial institution server 300 responsible for fare settlement of transportation, and a settlement terminal 400 via an appropriate network 10 so as to be capable of data communication. There is. Specifically, the fare settlement system 100 assumes a server device. Here, each function in the fare settlement system 100 may be provided as a cloud service on the network 10. In this case, compared with the case where the fare payment system 100 is introduced and operated for each transportation company on a so-called on-premises, the computer resources for the fare payment system are efficiently introduced and operated across the transportation companies. This makes it possible to significantly reduce various costs and labor. When providing the function of the fare settlement system 100 as a cloud service, a program or a program in which one or a plurality of server devices for providing the service are arranged on the network 10 and stored in the storage device 101 of the fare settlement system 100. Arrange various data appropriately. Further, this server device is naturally provided with a server function that executes processing as the fare settlement system 100 in response to a predetermined instruction from a device such as a transportation company based on the protocol of the network 10 and returns the processing result.

また、上述のネットワーク10としては、インターネットや携帯電話網といった所定の公衆回線網や、或いは専用回線など、状況に応じて適宜に採用してよい。 Further, the above-mentioned network 10 may be appropriately adopted depending on the situation, such as a predetermined public network such as the Internet or a mobile phone network, or a dedicated line.

なお、本実施形態における交通機関および駅務機器200の例としては、鉄道およびその鉄道駅における開閉扉211を備えた改札装置を想定するが、こうした組み合わせに限定せず、施設等における入出場管理を行う交通機関とその駅務機器であれば、いずれのものでも適宜に適用出来る。 As an example of the transportation system and station affairs equipment 200 in the present embodiment, a ticket gate device provided with an opening / closing door 211 at a railway or the railway station is assumed, but the combination is not limited to this, and entry / exit management at facilities and the like is not limited. Any transportation system and its station equipment can be applied as appropriate.

また、交通機関のユーザが鉄道利用に際して携行し、上述の駅務機器200にタッチあるいは接近させるのが、運賃決済用媒体である。本実施形態では、その一例として、銀行ICカード50を想定する。本実施形態の銀行ICカード50は、運賃決済用媒体であるが、従来の交通系ICカードの如くバリュー(運賃決済資金の情報)を自身で保持する必要がない、一般的なICキャッシュカードである。従って、上述の駅務機器200は、従来の交通系ICカード向けのカードリーダではなく、この銀行ICカード50向けの読取り手段であるカードリーダ210を備えている。 Further, the fare settlement medium is carried by a transportation user when using the railway and touches or approaches the above-mentioned station service equipment 200. In this embodiment, a bank IC card 50 is assumed as an example thereof. The bank IC card 50 of the present embodiment is a medium for fare settlement, but is a general IC cash card that does not need to hold value (information on fare settlement funds) by itself unlike a conventional transportation IC card. is there. Therefore, the above-mentioned station service equipment 200 includes a card reader 210 which is a reading means for the bank IC card 50, instead of the conventional card reader for the transportation IC card.

ユーザにとって、この銀行ICカード50は、ショッピング時のデビット決済や現金引き出しに日常的に用いていたカードである。よって、本実施形態の運賃決済手法を採用することで、当該銀行ICカード50のみで交通機関の運賃決済用途も含めて様々な決済が可能になることを意味する。 For the user, the bank IC card 50 is a card that is routinely used for debit payment and cash withdrawal at the time of shopping. Therefore, by adopting the fare settlement method of the present embodiment, it means that various settlements can be made by using only the bank IC card 50, including the use of fare settlement for transportation.

なお、銀行ICカード50は、EMVカード(グローバルスタンダードカード)である。また、銀行ICカード50は、カード形式のものではなく、例えば携帯端末に内蔵されたICチップを想定してもよい。 The bank IC card 50 is an EMV card (global standard card). Further, the bank IC card 50 is not a card type, and for example, an IC chip built in a mobile terminal may be assumed.

また、金融機関サーバ300は、上述の銀行ICカード50の発行金融機関が運用するサーバである。この金融機関サーバ300は、銀行ICカード50に紐付く銀行口座に関する各種情報を口座管理情報325で管理している。この口座管理情報325は、一般的な口座情報を、各ユーザにごとに保持するものであり、例えば、口座番号、支店名、科目、ユーザ情報(氏名、住所など)、該当ユーザの銀行ICカード50のカードID、および、口座残高、といった値を含むレコードの集合体である。 The financial institution server 300 is a server operated by the issuing financial institution of the bank IC card 50 described above. The financial institution server 300 manages various information related to the bank account associated with the bank IC card 50 with the account management information 325. This account management information 325 holds general account information for each user, for example, an account number, a branch name, a subject, user information (name, address, etc.), and a bank IC card of the corresponding user. It is a collection of records including values such as 50 card IDs and an account balance.

また、精算用端末400は、鉄道駅の構内に設置され、未払い運賃の精算処理を実行する端末である。未払い運賃のあるユーザは、駅務機器200での出場拒否などを受けて、この精算用端末400を訪れ、銀行ICカード50を提示して未払い運賃の額に応じた現金投入動作などを行い、精算手続を行うことになる。精算用端末400は、この未払い運賃の精算処理の結果を、運賃決済システム100に通知する。 The settlement terminal 400 is a terminal installed in the premises of a railway station and executes settlement processing of unpaid fares. A user with an unpaid fare visits the settlement terminal 400 in response to a refusal to participate in the station affairs equipment 200, presents a bank IC card 50, and performs a cash insertion operation according to the amount of the unpaid fare. The settlement procedure will be carried out. The settlement terminal 400 notifies the fare settlement system 100 of the result of the settlement processing of the unpaid fare.

--- Hardware configuration example ---
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration example of the fare settlement system 100 according to the present embodiment. The hardware configuration of the fare settlement system 100 is as follows.

すなわち、本実施形態の運賃決済システム100は、ハードディスクドライブなど適宜な不揮発性記憶素子で構成される記憶装置101、RAMなど揮発性記憶素子で構成されるメモリ103、記憶装置101に保持されるプログラム102をメモリ103に読み出すなどして実行しシステム自体の統括制御を行なうとともに各種判定、演算及び制御処理を行なうCPUなどの演算装置104、ネットワーク10と接続して他装置との通信処理を担う通信装置105を少なくとも備える。 That is, the fare settlement system 100 of the present embodiment is a program held in a storage device 101 composed of an appropriate non-volatile storage element such as a hard disk drive, a memory 103 composed of a volatile storage element such as RAM, and a storage device 101. Communication that is connected to a computing device 104 such as a CPU that performs overall control of the system itself by reading 102 into a memory 103 and performs various determinations, calculations, and control processes, and network 10, and is responsible for communication processing with other devices. It includes at least device 105.

なお、記憶装置101には、本実施形態の運賃決済システムとしての機能を実装するプログラム102の他に、ブロックリスト125、カード情報テーブル126、および、運賃計算用テーブル127を保持するものとする。これらのデータ構造等についての詳細は後述する。また、この記憶装置101は、最低運賃情報110を保持している。最低運賃情報110は、ユーザが駅務機器200を通じて入場動作を行う際、当該ユーザの銀行ICカード50に紐付く銀行口座から引き落として決済する、最低運賃分の金額を示すものである。 In addition to the program 102 that implements the function as the fare settlement system of the present embodiment, the storage device 101 holds a block list 125, a card information table 126, and a fare calculation table 127. Details of these data structures and the like will be described later. Further, the storage device 101 holds the minimum fare information 110. The minimum fare information 110 indicates the amount of the minimum fare to be settled by debiting from the bank account linked to the user's bank IC card 50 when the user performs an entrance operation through the station service equipment 200.

続いて、本実施形態の運賃決済システム100が用いるデータベース類について説明する。図3に、本実施形態におけるブロックリスト125の一例を示す。
--- Data structure example ---
Subsequently, the databases used by the fare settlement system 100 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the block list 125 in this embodiment.

本実施形態のブロックリスト125は、上述の交通機関の利用制限対象となってユーザに関する情報を格納したテーブルである。 The block list 125 of the present embodiment is a table in which information about a user is stored, which is subject to the above-mentioned restrictions on the use of transportation.

そのデータ構造は、利用制限対象となったユーザの銀行ICカード50を一意に特定するカードIDをキーとして、登録日時、および、消去フラグといったデータを対応付けされたレコードの集合体となっている。このうち、消去フラグは、一旦登録された銀行ICカード50であっても、未払い運賃の精算処理を経て利用制限対象ではなくなった場合に、レコード自体を消去せず、当該消去フラグに所定値(例:1)を設定することで、利用制限対象から除外指定するためのフラグである。 The data structure is a collection of records associated with data such as a registration date and time and an erasure flag, using a card ID that uniquely identifies the bank IC card 50 of the user subject to usage restrictions as a key. .. Of these, the erase flag does not erase the record itself when the bank IC card 50 once registered is no longer subject to usage restrictions after the settlement process of the unpaid fare, and the erase flag has a predetermined value ( Example: By setting 1), it is a flag to specify exclusion from the usage restriction target.

また、図4は本実施形態におけるカード情報テーブル126のデータ構成例を示す図である。本実施形態のカード情報テーブル126は、銀行ICカード50に関する各種情報を格納したテーブルである。 Further, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of the card information table 126 in the present embodiment. The card information table 126 of the present embodiment is a table that stores various information related to the bank IC card 50.

そのデータ構造は、上述の銀行ICカード50を一意に特定するカードIDをキーとして、当該銀行ICカード50を携行したユーザが、所定の駅務機器200を介して入場動作を行った入場駅のIDと入場日時、入場時の最低運賃分の決済成否を示す事前決済フラグ(決済成功で“1”、決済失敗で“0”)、上述のユーザが当該入場後に出場動作を行った出場駅のIDと出場日時、および、出場時の運賃精算の成否を示す精算成否フラグ(精算成功で“1”、精算失敗で“0”)、といったデータを対応付けされたレコードの集合体となっている。 The data structure is such that the user carrying the bank IC card 50 uses the card ID that uniquely identifies the bank IC card 50 as a key to enter the entrance station via the predetermined station affairs equipment 200. ID and entry date and time, pre-settlement flag indicating the success or failure of settlement for the minimum fare at the time of entry (“1” for successful settlement, “0” for failure of settlement), of the entry station where the above user performed the entry operation after the entry It is a collection of records associated with data such as ID, entry date and time, and settlement success / failure flag (“1” for settlement success, “0” for settlement failure) indicating the success or failure of fare settlement at the time of entry. ..

図4で例示するカード情報テーブル126において、例えばカードID「67890123」のレコードは、出場駅ID、出場日時、および精算成否フラグの値が未登録となている。これは、該当銀行ICカード50のユーザが、駅「P」で入場後、まだ出場動作を行っていないことを示している。 In the card information table 126 illustrated in FIG. 4, for example, in the record of the card ID "67890123", the entry station ID, the entry date and time, and the value of the settlement success / failure flag are not registered. This indicates that the user of the relevant bank IC card 50 has not yet entered the station "P" after entering the station.

なお、カード情報テーブル126における、事前決済フラグおよび精算成否フラグの各値は、運賃決済システム100が、金融機関サーバ300から決済成否および運賃精算の成否の結果を得て設定するものである。 The values of the advance settlement flag and the settlement success / failure flag in the card information table 126 are set by the fare settlement system 100 after obtaining the settlement success / failure and the fare settlement success / failure results from the financial institution server 300.

また、図5は本実施形態における運賃計算用テーブル127のデータ構成例を示す図である。本実施形態の運賃計算用テーブル127は、交通機関における各駅を入場駅および出場駅として組み合わせた場合の運賃の情報を格納したテーブルである。 Further, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of the fare calculation table 127 in the present embodiment. The fare calculation table 127 of the present embodiment is a table that stores fare information when each station in the transportation system is combined as an entrance station and an exit station.

そのデータ構造は、入場駅および出場駅と、該当駅間に設定されている運賃の値とを対応付けされたレコードの集合体となっている。 The data structure is a collection of records in which the entry station and the exit station are associated with the fare value set between the stations.

以下、本実施形態における運賃決済方法の実際手順について図に基づき説明する。以下で説明する運賃決済方法に対応する各種動作は、運賃決済システム100がメモリ103に読み出して実行するプログラムによって実現される。そして、これらのプログラムは、以下に説明される各種の動作を行うためのコードから構成されている。
--- Flow example 1 ---
Hereinafter, the actual procedure of the fare settlement method in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the figure. Various operations corresponding to the fare settlement method described below are realized by a program read by the fare settlement system 100 into the memory 103 and executed. Then, these programs are composed of codes for performing various operations described below.

図6は、本実施形態における運賃決済方法の処理手順例1を示すフロー図である。ここで、交通機関の或るユーザが、銀行ICカード50を携行して鉄道駅Cを訪れたとする。また、この銀行ICカード50に紐付く銀行口座には、1000円の預金残高があったとする。 FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure example 1 of the fare settlement method in the present embodiment. Here, it is assumed that a user of transportation visits the railway station C with a bank IC card 50. Further, it is assumed that the bank account linked to the bank IC card 50 has a deposit balance of 1000 yen.

この状況下において、上述のユーザが、鉄道駅Cの改札口から入場しようと、所定の駅務機器200に対し、その銀行ICカード50をかざしたとする。駅務機器200は、カードリーダ210によって、銀行ICカード50に対する読み取り動作を実行し、当該銀行ICカード50のICチップが保持する情報を読取り結果として取得し、これを運賃決済システム100に送信する(s100)。ここで駅務機器200が運賃決済システム100に送信する読取り結果には、銀行ICカード50が保持するカードID(例:45678901)の他、駅務機器200の設置駅、すなわち入場駅のIDすなわち「C」と入場日時(例:2016/11/20 11:08)の各値も含まれる。 Under this circumstance, it is assumed that the above-mentioned user holds the bank IC card 50 over the predetermined station affairs equipment 200 in order to enter from the ticket gate of the railway station C. The station affairs equipment 200 executes a reading operation on the bank IC card 50 by the card reader 210, acquires the information held by the IC chip of the bank IC card 50 as a reading result, and transmits this to the fare settlement system 100. (S100). Here, in the reading result transmitted by the station affairs equipment 200 to the fare settlement system 100, in addition to the card ID held by the bank IC card 50 (example: 45678901), the station where the station affairs equipment 200 is installed, that is, the ID of the entrance station, that is, Each value of "C" and the date and time of admission (example: 2016/11/20 11:08) is also included.

一方、運賃決済システム100は、駅務機器200から上述の読取り結果を受信し、この読取り結果に含まれるカードID「45678901」を、ブロックリスト125に照合する(s101)。 On the other hand, the fare settlement system 100 receives the above-mentioned reading result from the station service equipment 200, and collates the card ID "456789001" included in the reading result with the block list 125 (s101).

この照合の結果、該当カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に含まれている場合(s102:y)、運賃決済システム100は、上述の駅務機器200に対し、このカードID「45678901」に対応した上述のユーザに関して入場を拒否する旨の通知を送信し(s103)、処理を終了する。この通知は、該当カードIDと、開閉扉211の閉鎖指示とを含むものとなる。 As a result of this collation, when the corresponding card ID "45678901" is included in the block list 125 (s102: y), the fare settlement system 100 corresponds to this card ID "456789001" with respect to the above-mentioned station service equipment 200. A notification to the effect that admission is denied is transmitted (s103) with respect to the above-mentioned user, and the process is terminated. This notification includes the corresponding card ID and an instruction to close the opening / closing door 211.

他方、上述の照合の結果、該当カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に含まれていない場合(s102:n)、運賃決済システム100は、上述の駅務機器200に対し、このカードID「45678901」に対応した上述のユーザに関して入場を許可する旨の通知を送信する(s104)。この通知は、該当カードIDと、開閉扉211の開放指示とを含むものとなる。 On the other hand, as a result of the above-mentioned collation, when the corresponding card ID "45678901" is not included in the block list 125 (s102: n), the fare settlement system 100 refers to the above-mentioned station service equipment 200 with this card ID "456789001". A notification to the effect that admission is permitted for the above-mentioned user corresponding to "" is transmitted (s104). This notification includes the corresponding card ID and an instruction to open the opening / closing door 211.

また、運賃決済システム100は、該当カードID「45678901」に関して、上述の入場駅のID「C」および入場日時「2016/11/20 11:08」の各値を紐付けたレコードを生成し、カード情報テーブル126に登録する(s105)。 Further, the fare settlement system 100 generates a record in which each value of the above-mentioned entrance station ID "C" and the entrance date and time "2016/11/20 11:08" is associated with the corresponding card ID "45678901". Register in the card information table 126 (s105).

また、運賃決済システム100は、上述の銀行ICカード50に関する最低運賃分の決済要求を、金融機関サーバ300に通知する(s106)。運賃決済システム100は、この決済要求を通知するに際し、最低運賃情報110の値(例:50円)を決済額とし、該当カードIDを決済対象とした決済要求の電文を生成、送信することとなる。 Further, the fare settlement system 100 notifies the financial institution server 300 of the settlement request for the minimum fare related to the above-mentioned bank IC card 50 (s106). When notifying this payment request, the fare payment system 100 uses the value of the minimum fare information 110 (example: 50 yen) as the payment amount, and generates and transmits a telegram of the payment request with the corresponding card ID as the payment target. Become.

他方、金融機関サーバ300は、上述の最低運賃分の決済要求を受信し、この決済要求が示すカードID「45678901」をキーに、口座管理情報325にて該当口座を特定し、該当口座の預金残高「1000円」を原資とした最低運賃分「50円」の決済処理を、当該金融機関の勘定系に指示し、その決済結果を取得する(s107)。 On the other hand, the financial institution server 300 receives the payment request for the above-mentioned minimum fare, identifies the corresponding account with the account management information 325 using the card ID "456789001" indicated by the payment request as a key, and deposits the corresponding account. The settlement process of the minimum fare "50 yen" using the balance "1000 yen" as a source of funds is instructed to the account system of the financial institution, and the settlement result is acquired (s107).

この時、勘定系では、該当口座の預金残高「1000円」から最低運賃分「50円」を引き落とす処理を行い、該当口座の預金残高を「950円」に更新することになる。こうして引き落とし処理を実行出来た場合、勘定系としては決済成功の旨を金融機関サーバ300に返す。勿論、最低運賃分の金額に対して預金残高が不足していた場合、引き落とし処理は実行できず、勘定系としては決済失敗の旨を金融機関サーバ300に返すことになる。 At this time, in the core banking system, the minimum fare amount "50 yen" is deducted from the deposit balance "1000 yen" of the corresponding account, and the deposit balance of the corresponding account is updated to "950 yen". When the withdrawal process can be executed in this way, the accounting system returns to the financial institution server 300 that the settlement is successful. Of course, if the deposit balance is insufficient for the minimum fare amount, the withdrawal process cannot be executed, and the accounting system returns to the financial institution server 300 that the settlement has failed.

また、金融機関サーバ300は、s107で得た、最低運賃分の決済要求に対する決済結果を、運賃決済システム100に送信する(s108)。 Further, the financial institution server 300 transmits the settlement result for the settlement request for the minimum fare obtained in s107 to the fare settlement system 100 (s108).

運賃決済システム100は、上述の決済結果を金融機関サーバ300から取得し、この決済結果が決済成功を示すものである場合(s109:y)、カードID「45678901」のレコードにおける事前決済フラグに「1」を登録する(s110)。 When the fare settlement system 100 acquires the above-mentioned settlement result from the financial institution server 300 and the settlement result indicates the settlement success (s109: y), the pre-payment flag in the record of the card ID "45678901" is set to " 1 ”is registered (s110).

一方、上述の最低運賃分の決済結果が決済失敗を示すものである場合(s109:n)、運賃決済システム100は、カードID「45678901」のレコードにおける事前決済フラグに「0」を登録すると共に、ブロックリスト125に該当カードIDを登録する(s111)。従って、この場合のカードID「45678901」のユーザが、以降にどこかの鉄道駅の駅務機器200にて入場動作を行ったとしても、あらためて実行される上述のステップs101の処理にて、該当カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に含まれていると判定され、該当駅務機器200にて入場が拒否される結果となる。 On the other hand, when the above-mentioned settlement result for the minimum fare indicates a settlement failure (s109: n), the fare settlement system 100 registers "0" in the pre-payment flag in the record of the card ID "45678901". , Register the corresponding card ID in the block list 125 (s111). Therefore, even if the user of the card ID "45678901" in this case subsequently performs the entrance operation with the station affairs equipment 200 of some railway station, the corresponding process in step s101 described above is executed again. It is determined that the card ID "456789001" is included in the block list 125, resulting in the admission being denied by the corresponding station affairs equipment 200.

ここまでの処理で、入場動作を行ったユーザに関する処理が終了する。以後、当該ユーザが所定の鉄道駅から出場する際の処理を次のフロー例2にて説明する。 With the processing up to this point, the processing related to the user who performed the entrance operation is completed. Hereinafter, the process when the user participates from a predetermined railway station will be described with reference to the following flow example 2.

続いて、駅務機器200を介して鉄道駅構内(或いは列車自体)への入場を果たしたユーザが、出場動作を行った状況に対応した処理について説明する。図7は本実施形態の運賃決済方法の手順例2を示すフロー図である。ここでは、上述のフロー例1で示した、カードID「45678901」の銀行ICカード50を携行し、鉄道駅「C」で入場したユーザが、鉄道駅「F」にて出場動作を行うケースを想定する。
--- Flow example 2 ---
Subsequently, a process corresponding to a situation in which a user who has entered the railway station premises (or the train itself) via the station affairs equipment 200 performs a participation operation will be described. FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing a procedure example 2 of the fare settlement method of the present embodiment. Here, a case where a user who carries a bank IC card 50 with a card ID “45678901” and enters at a railway station “C”, which is shown in the above flow example 1, performs a participation operation at the railway station “F”. Suppose.

この状況下において、上述のユーザが、鉄道駅「F」の改札口から出場しようと、所定の駅務機器200に対し、その銀行ICカード50をかざしたとする。駅務機器200は、カードリーダ210によって、銀行ICカード50に対する読み取り動作を実行し、当該銀行ICカード50のICチップが保持する情報を読取り結果として取得し、これを運賃決済システム100に送信する(s200)。ここで駅務機器200が運賃決済システム100に送信する読取り結果には、銀行ICカード50が保持するカードID(例:45678901)の他、駅務機器200の設置駅、すなわち出場駅のIDすなわち「F」と出場日時(例:2016/11/20 11:22)の各値も含まれる。 Under this circumstance, it is assumed that the above-mentioned user holds the bank IC card 50 over the predetermined station affairs equipment 200 in order to participate from the ticket gate of the railway station "F". The station affairs equipment 200 executes a reading operation on the bank IC card 50 by the card reader 210, acquires the information held by the IC chip of the bank IC card 50 as a reading result, and transmits this to the fare settlement system 100. (S200). Here, in the reading result transmitted by the station affairs equipment 200 to the fare settlement system 100, in addition to the card ID held by the bank IC card 50 (example: 45678901), the station where the station affairs equipment 200 is installed, that is, the ID of the participating station, that is, Each value of "F" and the date and time of participation (example: 2016/11/20 11:22) is also included.

一方、運賃決済システム100は、駅務機器200から上述の読取り結果を受信し、この読取り結果に含まれるカードID「45678901」を、ブロックリスト125に照合する(s201)。ここで、該当ユーザの銀行ICカード50に関して、フロー例1における入場時の最低運賃分の決済に失敗していれば、ブロックリスト125にカードIDが登録されており、入場時の最低運賃分の決済に成功していれば、ブロックリスト125にカードIDは登録されていない。 On the other hand, the fare settlement system 100 receives the above-mentioned reading result from the station service equipment 200, and collates the card ID "456789001" included in the reading result with the block list 125 (s201). Here, regarding the bank IC card 50 of the corresponding user, if the settlement of the minimum fare at the time of admission in Flow Example 1 fails, the card ID is registered in the block list 125, and the minimum fare at the time of admission is registered. If the payment is successful, the card ID is not registered in the block list 125.

上述の照合の結果、該当カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に含まれている場合(s202:y)、運賃決済システム100は、上述の駅務機器200に対し、このカードID「45678901」に対応した上述のユーザに関して出場を拒否する旨の通知を送信し(s203)、処理を終了する。この通知は、該当カードIDと開閉扉211の閉鎖指示と、好ましくは更に、運賃精算を促す所定情報を含むものとなる。 As a result of the above-mentioned collation, when the corresponding card ID "45678901" is included in the block list 125 (s202: y), the fare settlement system 100 sets the card ID "45678901" to the above-mentioned station service equipment 200. A notification to the effect that the participation is refused is transmitted with respect to the corresponding user (s203), and the process is terminated. This notification includes the corresponding card ID, the closing instruction of the opening / closing door 211, and preferably further predetermined information prompting the fare settlement.

この所定情報は、駅務機器200で受信され、当該駅務機器200の表示装置にて所定のアラート(所定の音やテキストメッセージなど)として出力される(図8の表示例800参照)。これを認識したユーザは、銀行ICカード50を携行して最寄りの精算用端末400を訪れ、未払い運賃の精算手続を行うこととなる。この未払い運賃の精算手続に伴う処理については、フロー例3で後述する。 This predetermined information is received by the station affairs equipment 200 and output as a predetermined alert (a predetermined sound, a text message, etc.) on the display device of the station affairs equipment 200 (see display example 800 in FIG. 8). The user who recognizes this will carry the bank IC card 50 and visit the nearest settlement terminal 400 to perform the settlement procedure for the unpaid fare. The processing associated with the settlement procedure for the unpaid fare will be described later in Flow Example 3.

他方、上述の照合の結果、該当カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に含まれていない場合(s202:n)、運賃決済システム100は、上述の駅務機器200に対し、このカードID「45678901」に対応した上述のユーザに関して出場を許可する旨の通知を送信する(s204)。この通知は、該当カードIDと、開閉扉211の開放指示とを含むものとなる。 On the other hand, as a result of the above-mentioned collation, when the corresponding card ID "45678901" is not included in the block list 125 (s202: n), the fare settlement system 100 has the card ID "456789001" with respect to the above-mentioned station service equipment 200. A notification to the effect that participation is permitted for the above-mentioned user corresponding to "" is transmitted (s204). This notification includes the corresponding card ID and an instruction to open the opening / closing door 211.

また、運賃決済システム100は、該当カードID「45678901」に関して、上述の出場駅のID「F」および出場日時「2016/11/20 11:22」の各値を、カード情報テーブル126において入場時に生成済みのレコードに登録する(s205)。 Further, the fare settlement system 100 sets each value of the above-mentioned entry station ID "F" and entry date and time "2016/11/20 11:22" with respect to the corresponding card ID "45678901" at the time of admission in the card information table 126. Register in the generated record (s205).

また、運賃決済システム100は、カード情報テーブル126におけるカードID「45678901」のレコードから、入場駅ID「C」および出場駅ID「F」の各値を取得して、これを運賃計算用テーブル127に照合し、運賃(図5の例であれば、「380円」)を特定する(s206)。 Further, the fare settlement system 100 acquires each value of the entry station ID "C" and the entry station ID "F" from the record of the card ID "45678901" in the card information table 126, and uses this as the fare calculation table 127. The fare (“380 yen” in the example of FIG. 5) is specified (s206).

次に、運賃決済システム100は、このカードID「45678901」に関しては、決済済みの最低運賃分「50円」を、上述の運賃「380円」から差し引きして、残り運賃「330円」を精算額と算定し、当該精算額とカードID「45678901」とを含む、運賃の精算要求を金融機関サーバ300に通知する(s207)。この場合、運賃決済システム100は、精算要求に応じた電文を生成、送信することとなる。 Next, the fare settlement system 100 deducts the settled minimum fare "50 yen" from the above-mentioned fare "380 yen" for this card ID "45678901" and settles the remaining fare "330 yen". The amount is calculated, and the fare settlement request including the settlement amount and the card ID "456789001" is notified to the financial institution server 300 (s207). In this case, the fare settlement system 100 will generate and transmit a telegram in response to the settlement request.

他方、金融機関サーバ300は、上述の運賃の精算要求を受信し、この精算要求が示すカードID「45678901」をキーに、口座管理情報325にて該当口座を特定し、該当口座の預金残高「950円」を原資とした精算額「330円」の決済処理を、当該金融機関の勘定系に指示し、その処理結果を取得する(s208)。この時、勘定系では、該当口座の預金残高「950円」から精算額「330円」を引き落とす処理を行い、該当口座の預金残高を「620円」に更新することになる。こうして引き落とし処理を実行出来た場合、勘定系としては決済成功の旨を金融機関サーバ300に返す。勿論、運賃の精算額に対して預金残高が不足していた場合、引き落とし処理は実行できず、勘定系としては決済失敗の旨を金融機関サーバ300に返すことになる。 On the other hand, the financial institution server 300 receives the above-mentioned fare settlement request, identifies the relevant account with the account management information 325 using the card ID "456789001" indicated by the settlement request as a key, and determines the deposit balance of the relevant account. Instruct the account system of the financial institution to process the settlement of the settlement amount "330 yen" using "950 yen" as a source of funds, and acquire the processing result (s208). At this time, in the core banking system, the settlement amount "330 yen" is deducted from the deposit balance "950 yen" of the corresponding account, and the deposit balance of the corresponding account is updated to "620 yen". When the withdrawal process can be executed in this way, the accounting system returns to the financial institution server 300 that the settlement is successful. Of course, if the deposit balance is insufficient for the fare settlement amount, the withdrawal process cannot be executed, and the accounting system returns to the financial institution server 300 that the settlement has failed.

また、金融機関サーバ300は、s208で得た、運賃の精算要求に対する決済結果を、運賃決済システム100に送信する(s209)。 Further, the financial institution server 300 transmits the settlement result for the fare settlement request obtained in s208 to the fare settlement system 100 (s209).

運賃決済システム100は、上述の決済結果を金融機関サーバ300から取得し、この決済結果が決済成功、すなわち精算成功を示すものである場合(s210:y)、カードID「45678901」のレコードにおける精算成否フラグに「1」を登録し(s211)、処理を終了する。 When the fare settlement system 100 acquires the above-mentioned settlement result from the financial institution server 300 and the settlement result indicates the settlement success, that is, the settlement success (s210: y), the settlement in the record of the card ID "45678901" is made. "1" is registered in the success / failure flag (s211), and the process ends.

一方、上述の決済結果が決済失敗、すなわち精算失敗を示すものである場合(s210:n)、運賃決済システム100は、カードID「45678901」のレコードにおける精算成否フラグに「0」を登録すると共に、ブロックリスト125に該当カードIDを登録し(s212)、処理を終了する。 On the other hand, when the above-mentioned settlement result indicates a settlement failure, that is, a settlement failure (s210: n), the fare settlement system 100 registers "0" in the settlement success / failure flag in the record of the card ID "45678901". , The corresponding card ID is registered in the block list 125 (s212), and the process ends.

従って、この場合のカードID「45678901」のユーザが、以降にどこかの鉄道駅の駅務機器200にて入場動作を行ったとしても、あらためて実行される上述のステップs101の処理にて、該当カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に含まれていると判定され、該当駅務機器200にて入場が拒否される結果となる。 Therefore, even if the user of the card ID "45678901" in this case subsequently performs the entrance operation with the station affairs equipment 200 of some railway station, the corresponding process in step s101 described above is executed again. It is determined that the card ID "456789001" is included in the block list 125, resulting in the admission being denied by the corresponding station affairs equipment 200.

なお、上述のs212の処理は、自動的に実行する場合の他、運賃決済システム100が、所定端末から適宜な管理者による実行指示を受けたことを契機に実行するとしてもよい。一方、この管理者による不実行指示を上述の端末から受けた場合、運賃決済システム100は、該当カードIDをブロックリスト125に登録せず、処理を終了する。この場合、該当銀行ICカード50に紐付く銀行口座の預金残高が最低運賃を上回っている限り、以後の該当ユーザによる入場動作を1回以上許容する(フロー例1における、s101、s102:n、s104)ことになるが、いずれかの入場契機における最低運賃分の決済に失敗することになり、カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に登録(フロー例1におけるs111)されることになる。 In addition to the case where the above-mentioned process of s212 is automatically executed, the fare settlement system 100 may be executed when an appropriate administrator gives an execution instruction from a predetermined terminal. On the other hand, when the non-execution instruction by the administrator is received from the above-mentioned terminal, the fare settlement system 100 does not register the corresponding card ID in the block list 125 and ends the process. In this case, as long as the deposit balance of the bank account associated with the relevant bank IC card 50 exceeds the minimum fare, the subsequent entry operation by the relevant user is permitted at least once (s101, s102: n, in Flow Example 1). s104) However, the settlement of the minimum fare at any of the entrance triggers fails, and the card ID "456789001" is registered in the block list 125 (s111 in the flow example 1).

続いて、未払い運賃の精算処理について説明する。図9は本実施形態の運賃決済方法の手順例3を示すフロー図である。
--- Flow example 3 ---
Next, the settlement process of the unpaid fare will be described. FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing a procedure example 3 of the fare settlement method of the present embodiment.

上述のフロー例1、2にて、カードID「45678901」がブロックリスト125に含まれていると判定された場合、この銀行ICカード50のユーザは、利用制限を解除すべく、すなわち、ブロックリスト125からの該当カードIDの登録解除を行うべく、必要な手続を行うことになる。 When it is determined in the above flow examples 1 and 2 that the card ID "456789001" is included in the block list 125, the user of the bank IC card 50 wants to release the usage restriction, that is, the block list. Necessary procedures will be taken to cancel the registration of the corresponding card ID from 125.

この契機は、例えば駅務機器200において開閉扉211が閉鎖され出場出来ない事態に陥ったこと、および、駅務機器200の表示装置にて所定のアラート(所定の音やテキストメッセージなど)を認識したこと、の少なくともいずれかが該当する。 This opportunity recognizes, for example, that the opening / closing door 211 of the station affairs equipment 200 is closed and cannot participate, and that the display device of the station affairs equipment 200 recognizes a predetermined alert (a predetermined sound, text message, etc.). At least one of the things you did is true.

この場合のユーザは、銀行ICカード50を携行して最寄りの精算用端末400を訪れ、この精算用端末400の所定インターフェイスに銀行ICカード50をセットし、未払い運賃の精算手続を開始することとなる。 In this case, the user carries the bank IC card 50, visits the nearest settlement terminal 400, sets the bank IC card 50 in the predetermined interface of the settlement terminal 400, and starts the settlement procedure of the unpaid fare. Become.

精算用端末400は、所定インターフェイスでの銀行ICカード50のセット事象を検知し、当該銀行ICカード50からカードIDを読取り、このカードIDと出場駅のIDとを含む未払い運賃額の確認要求を運賃決済システム100に送信する(s300)。 The settlement terminal 400 detects a set event of the bank IC card 50 at a predetermined interface, reads the card ID from the bank IC card 50, and requests confirmation of the unpaid fare amount including the card ID and the ID of the participating station. It is transmitted to the fare settlement system 100 (s300).

一方、運賃決済システム100は、上述の確認要求を受信し、該当カードIDでカード情報テーブル126を検索して、入場駅IDおよび事前決済フラグの各値を取得する(s301)。 On the other hand, the fare settlement system 100 receives the above confirmation request, searches the card information table 126 with the corresponding card ID, and acquires each value of the entrance station ID and the advance settlement flag (s301).

また、運賃決済システム100は、ここまで得た入場駅および出場駅の各IDを、運賃計算用テーブル127に照合して、運賃を特定する(s302)。 Further, the fare settlement system 100 collates the IDs of the entrance station and the exit station obtained so far with the fare calculation table 127 to specify the fare (s302).

また、運賃決済システム100は、s301出た事前決済フラグの値が「1」、すなわち最低運賃分の決済成功を示すものである場合(s303:y)、最低運賃の額で、s302で特定した運賃を差し引きして、未払い運賃額を算定する(s304)。例えば、入場駅が「C」、出場駅が「F」である場合、運賃は「380円」であり、これから最低運賃の額「50円」を差し引きすれば、未払い運賃額を「330円」と算定出来る。 Further, the fare settlement system 100 specifies the minimum fare amount in s302 when the value of the pre-settlement flag issued in s301 is "1", that is, indicating successful settlement for the minimum fare (s303: y). The unpaid fare amount is calculated by deducting the fare (s304). For example, if the entrance station is "C" and the exit station is "F", the fare is "380 yen", and if the minimum fare amount "50 yen" is subtracted from this, the unpaid fare amount will be "330 yen". Can be calculated.

他方、s301出た事前決済フラグの値が「0」、すなわち最低運賃分の決済失敗を示すものである場合(s303:n)、s302で特定した運賃をそのまま未払い運賃額と特定する(s305)。 On the other hand, when the value of the pre-settlement flag issued in s301 is "0", that is, it indicates a settlement failure for the minimum fare (s303: n), the fare specified in s302 is directly specified as the unpaid fare amount (s305). ..

続いて運賃決済システム100は、s304またはs305で得た未払い運賃額の値を、精算用端末400に返信する(s306)。 Subsequently, the fare settlement system 100 returns the value of the unpaid fare amount obtained in s304 or s305 to the settlement terminal 400 (s306).

一方、精算用端末400は、上述の未払い運賃額の値を受信し、これを適宜なインターフェイスに出力(図10の表示例1000)し(s307)、ユーザによる精算資金投入を待つ。この場合のユーザは、例えば、精算用端末400の備える現金投入口への、未払い運賃額に応じた現金の投入動作などを行う。或いはユーザは、精算用端末400が備えるクレジットカードの挿入口へのクレジットカードの挿入動作を行う。 On the other hand, the settlement terminal 400 receives the above-mentioned value of the unpaid fare amount, outputs it to an appropriate interface (display example 1000 in FIG. 10) (s307), and waits for the user to input the settlement fund. In this case, the user performs, for example, an operation of inserting cash according to the unpaid fare amount into the cash input port provided in the settlement terminal 400. Alternatively, the user inserts the credit card into the credit card insertion slot of the payment terminal 400.

精算用端末400は、ユーザによる精算資金投入を受けて、投入資金額が未払い運賃額を満たすか判定する(s308)。 The settlement terminal 400 receives the settlement fund input by the user and determines whether the input fund amount satisfies the unpaid fare amount (s308).
