Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3.

First, when the operator presses a predetermined key on the keyboard 3, the main control section 100 displays a response message and the operational status of the device on the CRT display 1 via the CRT control section 500. The operator inputs a predetermined operation on the keyboard 3 in accordance with the message on the CRT display 1, and puts the printer section 2 into a standby state.

Then, the main control unit 100 activates the device according to the above-mentioned predetermined operation, and causes the device to perform the following ticket processing operation.

``The operation of feeding out a ticket or a form in the hopper 32 and printing and outputting predetermined information on this ticket or form.'' If the main control unit 100 is to instruct the discharge lower to perform a discharge processing operation, the main control unit 100 first specifies the type of ticket or form and instructs the hopper control unit 2900 to feed it. are the two hopper mechanisms under its command:]0
00. : 1 ticket or form from either of 1100
Let the sheet roll out. That is, the selected hopper 3 of FIG.
The topmost ticket or form in 2 is picked up by the pickup roller 54
Then, by the action of the known functions of the reverse roller 55 and the feed roller 56, only one sheet is separated and fed out.

This dispensed ticket or form is transferred to the drive device group 800 by the conveyance control unit 700 according to instructions from the main control unit 100 in advance.
The transport path 30 or 31 is operated by driving a predetermined device. moreover,
The blade 19 is rotated into position by the solenoid 2o, and the ticket or form is conveyed to the magnetic write head 18 and the magnetic reader 17.

At this time, magnetic ＋＋
The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to write IWi. When writing, the data stored in the memory 200 is written by the magnetic write head 18 and then checked by the magnetic read head 17.

The data stored in the memory 200 may be data communicated by the main control unit +00 with the host central processing unit via the communication control unit 300, fixed information set according to the operation mode of the device, or data stored in advance by the operator. This information is information input using the keyboard 3, etc.

Next, when the above-mentioned check is completed, the main control unit JOO drives a predetermined device in the drive device group 800 via the transport control unit 700, and as the blade 14 rotates, the magnetic reading head 17 and the magnetic The ticket or form that has passed through the loading head 18 is delivered to a conveyance path 39. The ticket or form is then introduced between the print head 40 and the platen 41. The information stored in the memory 200 and its printing instructions are sent to the print control unit 3700 by the main control unit +00.
According to the data from the print control unit 3700, printing is performed on the ticket or form by the print head 40 via the ink ribbon stored in the ribbon force set I-43, and at the same time the main In response to a command from the control section 100, the CRT control section 500 displays a predetermined message on the CRT display 1 and waits for the operator to take it out.

When an operator takes out a printed ticket or form from the discharge lower, it is detected by a sensor (not shown) provided on the discharge lower, and the detection signal is sent to the main control unit 100.
is detected, the device returns to its initial state and waits for the next process.

As described above, depending on the ticket or document fed out from the hopper 32, information is written on the magnetic stripe of the ticket or document, or information is printed at a predetermined position on the ticket or document, and the document is discharged from the discharge lower. Therefore, if the memory 200 or a file of the host central processing unit holds reservation information for trains, airplanes, etc.,
By simply inputting predetermined information using the operator or the keychain 3, a flight ticket or form can be issued as a reservation ticket such as a seat reservation ticket or a boarding pass. In particular, by installing the device of this embodiment at a travel agency, etc., information such as seat assignments can be stored at the travel agency without issuing boarding passes to passengers at the airport counter. It will be possible to issue boarding passes with magnetic stripes. Of course, it is possible to issue not only these airplane boarding passes and train seat reservation tickets, but also theater seat reservation tickets and various coupons.

[The process of reading the information on the ticket inserted through the insertion slot 6, writing new information, erasing the information, rewriting the information, and then ejecting it or issuing a replacement ticket.'' If the instruction is to insert a ticket from 6, print, etc. on the ticket, and then eject it, first, when the operator inserts the ticket into the insertion slot 6, the ticket is inserted [216 The inserted ticket is detected by a sensor (not shown) provided in the main controller 100, and the detection signal is sent to the main controller 100. Then, the main control unit +00 drives the shutter unit 2200 via the ticket insertion control unit 2100 to open the shutter 8 shown in FIG. It is sucked into the conveyance path IJ. When inhaled, the shutter 8 closes. When the ticket reaches the barcode reader IO, the barcode written or printed on the roll is read. The read data is sent to the main control unit 100 and temporarily stored in the memory 200, and at the same time, the main control unit 100 determines whether the type of ticket corresponds to the operation performed by the operator. If not, the ticket is rejected to the insertion slot 6 by the function of the conveyance control unit 700 and returned to the operator.

On the other hand, if the ticket is a corresponding ticket, the main control section 100 issues a reading instruction to one or both of the magnetic reading section 2500 and the OCR reading section 2700 according to the barcode reading data. That is, based on the barcode reading data, the main control unit 100 instructs both the magnetic reading unit 2500 and the OCR reading unit 2700 to read the inserted ticket if it has a magnetic stripe; If the device does not have a stripe, a reading instruction is issued only to the OCR reading section 2700.

At the same time, the main control section 100 also controls the transport control section 700.
The blades 12 and 14 of the transport path switching device group 2400 are controlled, and the ticket is transported to the magnetic reading head 17 under the control of the driver 1h device group 800. The results of these readings are sent to the main control section 100 via the magnetic reading section 2500 or the OCR recognition section 2800 and temporarily stored in the memory 200. Thereafter, the stacking conveyance control section 3600 conveys the tickets to the temporary stacking station 23 in FIG. 1 and temporarily stacks them.

Here, the main control unit 100 determines the type of processing to be performed subsequently based on the ticket information stored in the memory 200 or by communicating with the host central processing unit via the communication control unit 300. Depending on the judgment result, the following 3
Select one of the following processes and execute it.

Processing 1> Processing 1 is a process that completes processing on one read ticket alone, and adds magnetic information or prints predetermined information to the ticket itself.

That is, when the main control unit 100 selects this process 1, it determines from the predetermined read data, causes the conveyance control unit 700 to drive the corresponding device of the drive device group 800 in reverse, and then causes the temporary stacking conveyance control unit 3600 to transfer the ticket. It is back-fed from the temporary stocking station 23 and transported to the magnetic write head section 18. More? The ticket is discharged from the discharge lower through the same processing process as the ticket or form from the hopper 32, and is taken out by the operator.

<Process 2> In this process 2, the process is completed with only one read ticket, and the inserted ticket is taken into the stacker 33 and hl'fFA is added to the ticket or form stored in the hopper 32.
will be added and issued as a new ticket.

That is, when the main control unit 100 selects this process 2,
The hopper control unit 2900 is given instructions for specifying the type of ticket or form and for dispensing the same, thereby writing magnetic information on the dispensed ticket or form as necessary, checking the same, and checking the information as necessary. After printing, it is ejected and issued as a predetermined ticket.

Note that the issue of this ticket is not limited to one, but it is also possible to issue a plurality of tickets depending on the information from the read ticket.

Thereafter, the main control unit 100 drives a predetermined device of the drive device group 800 in reverse via the conveyance control unit 700 to backfeed the ticket and convey it to the magnetic writing head 18, and also switches the conveyance path of the conveyance control unit 700. Device group 2400 is controlled to switch blades 12 . 14 to connect transport path 39 to magnetic write head 18 and magnetic read head 17 to transport path 34 . If this ticket has a magnetic stripe, the main control unit 1
In response to the instruction 00, magnetic ++7 information such as cancellation or invalidation is written by the magnetic writing head 18 via the magnetic writing unit 2600.

Thereafter, the ticket is passed to the conveyance path 34, and during the conveyance path 34, the ticket is printed for collection according to an instruction from the main control unit 100 in advance; etc. are printed on the inserted ticket.

After this printing is completed, the tickets are taken into the stacker 33 according to their types.

Processing 3> In this processing 3, the data is not completed with one ticket read,
Data is completed only after reading multiple forms, and processing is performed using all this data.The processing involves writing, erasing, or rewriting information on the ticket inserted through the insertion slot 6, or issuing a new ticket. This is what we do.

That is, when the main control unit 100 selects this process 3,
Barcode reader 10. Information is read by the magnetic reading head 17 and the OCR reading section 2I and stored in the memory 200. Based on this information, the main control section 100 communicates with the host central processing unit either alone or via the communication control section 300. As a result, the information on one ticket is insufficient,
If it is determined that the process cannot be carried out unless the information on a plurality of tickets is collected, the main control section 100 displays a corresponding message on the CRT display 1 via the CRT control section 500.

As a result, when the operator sequentially inserts a plurality of tickets from the insertion slot 6, the tickets read by the predetermined reading unit according to the navigation procedure are temporarily stored in the stocking station 23. Next, a corresponding message is displayed on the CRT display 1 via the CRT control unit 500, and the process of insertion→reading→--time stacking is performed until a predetermined number of sheets are completed. Then, when the predetermined data is completed, information is magnetically written or printed, or both, on the inserted ticket, that is, the temporarily screwed ticket itself, based on communication with the host central processing unit or independent judgment of the main control unit 100. or whether to issue a new ticket.

Here, if you want to add or update the news to the stacked ticket itself, the tickets stored at the -time stacking station 23 are ejected in the order of fast-in - fast-out, or they are ejected randomly. Then, issue it according to Process 1, which has been completed. When issuing a new ticket, all tickets inserted after issuing the ticket or form stored in the hopper 32 according to process 2 described above, that is, the roll of money currently being stacked, are placed in the stacker. Store it in 33.

In this case, among the multiple tickets that were stacked at - time,
Writing, erasing, or rewriting information on some tickets,
Another ticket can be issued in exchange for a new ticket, and furthermore, in the case of exchange issuance, it is also possible to make the number of tickets to be taken in and the number of tickets to be issued different.

As described above, according to the above embodiment, information is read from one or more tickets inserted from the insertion slot 6, and information is written or erased on the inserted ticket based on the reading result.
After rewriting the ticket, it can be ejected or a new ticket can be issued. For example, not only can editing, issuance, and changes of airline boarding passes and reserved train seat tickets be processed all at once, but also service tickets and complimentary tickets can be automatically exchanged for tickets of equivalent value or actual tickets. is also possible. Furthermore, it will also be possible to issue tickets without a magnetic stripe in exchange for tickets with a magnetic stripe.
It is also possible to exchange, for example, an airplane ticket issued outside the device for a boarding pass.

By the way, if a ticket inserted into the device is rejected for some reason, the ticket is returned to the ejection lower. Then, when a ticket paste jet is displayed on the CRT display 1 to notify the user, and the manual manual mode is designated by pressing a predetermined key on the keyboard 3, the main control section 100 enables the device to accept manual data from the keyboard 3. and starts processing it as ticket information and barcode. Similarly, the main control unit 100 starts processing the information read by the manual ID card reader 5 as magnetic information of the ticket. The operator is the OC for the ticket.
Keyboard 3 for R data and barcode data
The magnetic information is manually input using the manual ID cart reader 5. These correspond to data input by the barcode reader section 2300, OCR reading section 2700, and magnetic reading section 2500. Based on these manual data, the various processes described above can be executed regardless of the inserted ticket paste.

Although the present invention has been described above using one embodiment, it is not limited to this.

For example, the position of each component within the device can be changed arbitrarily, and the insertion port 6 and the discharge lower can be configured as one insertion and discharge port. Generally speaking, the number of hoppers 32 and stackers 33 is two each in the above-described embodiment, but it is also possible to have one each, or three or more each.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, since it is equipped with a plurality of manual means such as barcodes, magnetism, and OCR, it is possible to design tickets or forms according to the characteristics of the data entry method. For various transportation tickets, seat reservations, etc. inserted from outside the device, various passports depending on the means of transportation can be processed at once. In addition, if the required information cannot be obtained from the ticket inserted into the device, or if the inserted ticket is rejected for some reason, this information can be input using an alternative method, that is, a keyboard and card reader, so that the ticket information can be easily accessed. processing, etc., and customer service can be improved.

Therefore, an extremely versatile ticket processing terminal device can be provided since the operator can perform batch processing without worrying about the type of ticket or ticket issued.
