FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of the center server 100 of the embodiment. The center server 100 includes, for example, a communication unit 110, a storage unit 120, and a management unit 130.

The communication unit 110 includes a first communication unit 112 and a second communication unit 114. The first communication unit 112 communicates with the terminal device 200 via the network NW. The second communication unit 114 communicates with the automatic ticket gate 10 via the network NW and the station server 50. These communication units include hardware such as a NIC (Network Interface Card), for example. The first communication unit 112 and the second communication unit 114 may be physically separate communication units, or the hardware may be shared and expressed as two functions conceptually or virtually. It may be what is done.

The storage unit 120 is realized by, for example, an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), a flash memory, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), or the like. The fare table 121, the authority information table 122, and the usage history information table 123 are stored in the storage unit 120. Further, in addition to the above-mentioned various information, various programs such as application programs, processing results by the management unit 130, and the like are stored in the storage unit 120.

The fare table 121 is, for example, information in which a fare is associated with a section of a station.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the authority information table 122. The authority information table 122 is a table for storing information regarding the authority of the user. In the authority information table 122, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the user ID is associated with the authority information indicating the authority of the corresponding user. The authority information includes an authority ID, authority effect information, and the like. The authority includes, for example, the authority to pay the fare with electronic money and board (hereinafter referred to as electronic money authority), the authority to board with a commuter pass (hereinafter referred to as commuter pass authority), and the authority to board with a coupon ticket (hereinafter referred to as coupon authority). , Expressed as commuter pass authority), authority to board with a commuter pass for a designated section (hereinafter referred to as commuter pass authority), etc. are included. The authority ID is identification information that identifies each authority, and includes, for example, an electronic money ID, a commuter pass ID, a coupon ID, and an ordinary ticket ID. The validity information includes, for example, the balance of electronic money, the valid section and valid period of the commuter pass, the valid section of the coupon ticket, the valid period and the remaining number of times.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the usage history information table 123. As shown in FIG. 8, the usage history information table 123 is a table showing the usage status of the user, and is, for example, an authority ID at the time of entry, an entrance station, an entrance time, an authority ID at the time of entry, an entry station, and an entry time. It is a table in which information indicating the above is associated with each other. In addition, instead of the authority ID at the time of entry and entry, the user ID at the time of entry and entry may be stored in the usage history information table 123.

The management unit 130 includes, for example, an authority specifying unit 131, an entry / exit permission determination unit 132, and a toll collection processing unit 133. Each functional unit of the management unit 130 is realized by, for example, a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a program stored in the program memory. Further, a part or all of the functional units of the management unit 130 may be realized by hardware such as LSI (Large Scale Integration), ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). ..

The authority specifying unit 131 is one or more of the authority information associated with the user ID in the storage unit 120 based on the user ID and the authority designation information received from the terminal device 200 by the first communication unit 112. The authority information of is determined as the authority used by the user (hereinafter referred to as the authority to use this time). For example, the authority specifying unit 131 refers to the storage unit 120, and in the authority information table 122, one or more of the authority information associated with the user ID received from the terminal device 200, which is indicated by the authority designation information. The authority ID is determined to be the usage authority this time, and the information indicating the authority ID determined to be the usage authority this time is output to the entry / exit determination unit 132 together with the user ID.

When the user ID is received from the automatic ticket gate 10 by the second communication unit 114 after the user ID and the authority designation information are received by the first communication unit 112, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 is the authority identification unit. Of the current usage rights determined by 131, it is determined whether or not the user can enter or exit based on the current usage authority corresponding to the received user ID. Then, the entry / exit availability determination unit 132 transmits the determination result to the automatic ticket gate 10 using the second communication unit 114.

In addition, the entry / exit availability determination unit 132 refers to the usage history information table 123 and determines whether to perform entry processing or entry processing. The authority ID corresponding to the authority designation information is written in the authority ID at the time of admission in the usage history information table 123 when the admission process is performed. Further, in the authority ID at the time of participation in the usage history information table 123, the authority ID corresponding to the authority designation information is written when the participation process is performed. Then, in the entry / exit permission / rejection determination unit 132, the authority ID that matches the authority ID of the authority determined as the usage authority this time by the authority identification unit 131 matches and corresponds to the authority ID at the time of entry in the usage history information table 123. It is determined whether the authority ID at the time of participation is blank, and if so, the participation process is performed, and if not, the admission process is performed. Further, instead of this, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 acquires information indicating whether the station is functioning as an entry station or a participation station from the automatic ticket gate 10 together with the user ID, and uses the information as the information. Based on this, it is possible to switch between performing admission processing and performing entry processing.

In addition, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 determines whether or not the authority is valid in the entry process and the entry process. The validity of the authority means, for example, that the balance is equal to or greater than the amount to be received, that the commuter pass section is used within the validity period, or that the balance is used within the coupon section within the validity period and remains. It includes the fact that the number of times remains more than once. In addition, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 determines whether or not the authority ID at the time of entry and the authority ID acquired at the time of entry in the usage history information table 123 match when performing entry processing, and if they do not match, Determines that the authority is not valid. If the authority specification information received at the time of admission includes two authorities, it is required that those two authority IDs match the two authority IDs included in the authority specification information received at the time of entry. Will be done.

Then, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 determines whether or not the user can enter / exit based on the authority determined as the usage authority this time by the authority identification unit 131 and the result of determining whether the authority is valid or not. .. For example, when the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 determines that the authority determined for the usage authority this time is valid, the second communication unit 114 is used to send a command to the automatic ticket gate 10 to open the door unit. .. On the other hand, when it is determined that the validity of the ticket is not valid, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 uses the second communication unit 114 to transmit a command to the automatic ticket gate 10 to close the door unit.

Further, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 may have a function of periodically determining whether or not the registered authority has the authority to be notified by referring to the storage unit 120. The notice target is an event in which it is preferable to notify the user using the terminal device 200. For example, the balance of electronic money is less than a predetermined standard, the commuter pass authority or the number of times. This includes the fact that the validity period of the ticket authority has become shorter than the predetermined standard. For example, the entry / exit determination unit 132 refers to the authority information table 122 to acquire an authority ID in which the balance of electronic money is less than the standard, and notice information indicating that the balance of electronic money is insufficient. To create. In addition, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 refers to the authority information table 122 to acquire an authority ID whose validity period of the commuter pass authority or the coupon ticket authority is shorter than the standard, and obtains the authority ID of the commuter pass authority or the coupon ticket authority. You may create notice information indicating that the expiration date is approaching. Then, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 acquires the terminal ID associated with the acquired authority ID in the authority information table 122, and transmits the notice information to the terminal indicated by the acquired terminal ID.

The charge collection processing unit 133 performs processing for collecting charges from the user based on the authority determined to be the usage authority this time by the authority specifying unit 131. For example, when the authority specifying unit 131 determines that the authority determined as the usage authority this time is valid by the entry / exit permission determination unit 132, the charge collection processing unit 133 collects the charge for the authority that requires the settlement of the charge. Perform the processing to do. The process for collecting the fare includes, for example, a process of calculating the fare by referring to the fare table 121 and the usage history information table 123, a process of subtracting the fare from the balance of electronic money and updating the authority information table 122, and a process of updating the authority information table 122. , The process of updating the authority information table 122 by reducing the remaining number of coupon tickets by one is included.

If the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 and the toll collection processing unit 133 have one authority included in the authority designation information, they perform independent entry processing or independent entry processing, and the authority designation information includes two authority. In this case, compound admission processing or compound entry processing is performed, and if the authority specified information contains three or more authorities, it is determined that an error has occurred. The single admission process and the single entry process are processes for determining whether or not admission is possible and for collecting fees based on one authority. On the other hand, the compound admission process or the compound entry process is a process of determining whether or not admission is possible and a fee collection process based on the two authorities, and the two authorities are used in combination without any disadvantage to the user. To collect charges like this. For example, if the entrance station and the exit station fit in the commuter pass section or the coupon ticket section, the fare from the electronic money will not be collected. Also, in rare cases, the fare from the entrance station to the exit station excluding the commuter pass section will be higher than when the fare from the entrance station to the exit station is paid as it is with electronic money. In that case, the fare from the entrance station to the exit station may be collected as it is with electronic money. In addition, if there is a margin in the validity period of the coupon ticket, such as when entering at an intermediate point of the coupon ticket section, it may be advantageous for the user to pay with electronic money. The entry / exit permission determination unit 132 and the fee collection processing unit 133 may comprehensively determine such advantages / disadvantages and determine with which authority the collection is performed.

Next, the overall flow of the entry / exit management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the overall flow of the entry / exit management system 1. The terminal device 200 causes the touch panel 202 to display an operation screen for registering the authority (S1). Then, the terminal device 200 transmits information and the like regarding the authority to be registered to the center server 100 based on the operation from the user received by the touch panel 202 (S2). The center server 100 receives, for example, information on the authority to be registered, a user ID, and a terminal ID from the terminal device 200, and writes them in the authority information table 122 in association with each other (S3). The process related to the registration of authority may be performed using a ticket vending machine or a dedicated terminal installed at a station or the like instead of the terminal device 200.

After that, the terminal device 200 displays the authority selection screen on the touch panel 202 based on the operation from the user accepted by the touch panel 202, and accepts the designation of the authority to be used by the user from now on (S4). The terminal device 200 creates the authority designation information based on the operation from the user received by the touch panel 202, associates the user ID with the authority designation information, and transmits the information to the center server 100 (S5). The center server 100 receives, for example, the authority designation information and the user ID from the terminal device 200, temporarily stores them in the storage unit 120 (S6), and activates the timer function (S7).

Next, the terminal device 200 causes the touch panel 202 to display the two-dimensional code including the user ID generated by the two-dimensional code generation unit 206 (S8). When passing through the automatic ticket gate 10, the user holds the touch panel 202 over the optical reading unit 21 or 31 of the automatic ticket gate 10. As a result, the optical reading unit 21 or 31 reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the touch panel 202 and acquires the user ID from the two-dimensional code (S9). The optical reading unit 21 or 31 outputs the acquired user ID to the communication control unit 26A. The communication control unit 26A transmits the input user ID to the center server 100 using the ticket gate side communication unit 27 (S10).

On the other hand, whether or not the center server 100 has received the same user ID as the user ID received in S6 from the automatic ticket gate 10 before the predetermined time is counted by the timer function activated in S6. (S11). When it is determined that the same user ID has been received from the automatic ticket gate 10, the center server 100 determines whether or not to enter and exits and performs a collection process (S12). Then, the center server 100 transmits a command according to the determination result of the entry / exit permission determination to the automatic ticket gate 10 (S13). The automatic ticket gate 10 controls the door portions 24 and 34 in the open state or the closed state based on the command received from the center server 100 (S14).

When the confirmation timing is determined in advance, the entry / exit determination unit 132 refers to the authority information table 122 of the storage unit 120, and is subject to advance notice, for example, the balance of electronic money is based on a predetermined standard. It is determined whether or not there is a reduced electronic money ID, a commuter pass ID or a coupon ID whose validity period of the commuter pass authority or the coupon ticket authority is shorter than a predetermined standard (S15). When there is a notice target, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 creates the notice information (S16) and transmits the created notice information to the terminal device 200 associated with the authority ID of the notice target (S17). .. The terminal device 200 displays the received notice information on the touch panel 202 (S18).

Next, the operation of the center server 100 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation flow of the center server 100. When the management unit 130 receives the information regarding the authority to be registered, the user ID, and the terminal ID from the terminal device 200, the management unit 130 associates them with each other and writes them in the authority information table 122 to register the authority (step S101). .. Next, the management unit 130 determines whether or not the authority inquiry instruction is received from the terminal device 200 together with the user ID (step S102). When the authority inquiry instruction is received from the terminal device 200, the management unit 130 reads out the information related to the authority associated with the received user ID in the authority information table 122, and uses the first communication unit 112 to read the information related to the authority. It is transmitted to 200 (step S103).

Next, the authority specifying unit 131 determines whether or not the user ID and the authority designation information have been received from the terminal device 200 (step S104), and if it is determined that the user ID and the authority designation information have been received, the user determines that the user ID and the authority designation information have been received, based on the authority designation information. The designated authority is determined as the usage authority this time (step S105). Then, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 determines whether or not the same user ID as the user ID received in step S104 has been received within a predetermined time from the time when the authority designation information is received in step S104 ( Step S106). The entry / exit permission determination unit 132 repeats determination of whether or not the same user ID has been received until a predetermined time elapses (step S107). When the same user ID is received, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 determines whether the entry process or the entry process is performed (step S108) as described above, and enters based on the authority determined in the usage authority this time. The process (step S109) or the participation process (step S110) is performed.

Next, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 determines whether or not the confirmation timing has been determined in advance (step S111), and when the confirmation timing is reached, the entry / exit permission determination unit 132 refers to the authority information table 122 of the storage unit 120 and gives a notice.
