Inside the ticket gate main body 11, as shown in FIG.
The ticket gate allows many types of tickets F such as tickets, coupon tickets, commuter passes, value cards, and coupon cards.

This ticket gate processing system 16 includes a ticket information reading section A1 as a magnetic data processing section, a ticket information writing section A2, and a ticket information checking section A3 arranged in series in this order in the ticket transport direction. It is composed of

The ticket face information reading section A1 functions to read magnetic information recorded on either the upper or lower side of the ticket F using a pair of reading magnetic heads 17 and 18 on the front side and the upper and lower sides of Oshu.

The ticket face information writing section A2 executes writing on either the upper or lower magnetic surface of the ticket F using a pair of upper and lower write magnetic heads 19 and 20 on the front side and the Oshu side.

The ticket information checking section A3 reads and confirms the magnetic information written on either the upper or lower side of the ticket F using a pair of confirmation magnetic heads 21 and 22 on the front side and the upper side of Oshu.

By the way, these magnetic heads 17 to 22 are installed in a main conveyor belt device 23 that is installed so as to penetrate from the ticket input port 13 to the ticket discharge port 14 of the ticket gate processing system 16. A sub conveyor belt device 24 is branched and connected to the downstream side of the device 23.

The sorting operation is performed between the side and the side of the sub-transport belt device 24 for collection, and a collection box 25 for collecting tickets and the like is disposed on the terminal end side of the sub-transport belt device 24.

Of these conveyance belt devices 23 and 24, on the main conveyance side there is a loading detection sensor S1 from the starting end side to the terminal end side;
A timing detection sensor S2 and a release detection sensor S3 are provided, and a collection detection sensor S4 is provided on the sub-conveyance side to detect the transportation status of the ticket F, such as insertion, release, and collection of the ticket F. do.

Further, 26 is a CRT for data monitoring, which displays the ticket data obtained from the ticket gate main body 11, and is installed in the monitoring room so that the staff in charge can visually check the ticket data displayed on the CRT 26. This makes it possible to visually manage the bidding process and detect and prevent fraudulent activity. Also,
When this abnormality is detected, an alarm 27 provided in the CRT 26 emits an alarm sound to notify the staff.

Figure 3 shows a control circuit block diagram of an automatic ticket gate.
U31 is connected to a flapper driver circuit 33, a motor driver circuit 34, a magnetic data read/write unit 35, a detection sensor driver circuit 36, an opening/closing door driver circuit 37, and a display driver circuit 38 via an interface 32, and is stored in a ROM 39. These are controlled according to the program, and the necessary information obtained by that control is sent to R.

The motor M drives a conveyance system such as a main conveyance belt device 23 and a sub conveyance belt device 24 .

By the way, the above-mentioned CPU 31 has a data management function at the time of ticket inspection, and this first writes monitoring data for checking on the ticket F inserted at the time of bidding via the ticket information writing section A2. . For example, Figure 4 (a)
As shown in the figure, the passenger's "boarding date and time", "boarding station", "passenger name", etc. are written as monitoring data.

Then, at the time of bidding, the suitability of the written monitoring data is determined, and if an abnormality occurs due to, for example, incorrect input operation or fraudulent activity by the customer, as shown in Figure 4 (b),
The fact that an error has occurred is displayed on the ticket gate display 15 and the data monitoring CRT 26.

Further, if appropriate, information such as the available remaining amount for the next ride will be displayed, as shown in FIG. 4(C).

In this way, all ticket data for each ticket gate is displayed on the CRT26.
It is possible to display and manage the ticket using the ``password'' button, thereby reliably preventing fraudulent activities with respect to the ticket.

Next, the ticket processing operation of the automatic ticket gate will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Now, when the ticket F is inserted into the ticket slot 13 (first
Step nl), the inserted ticket F is guided to the data processing section, where the recorded information of the ticket F is read (second to fourth steps nl).
2-n4).

Based on this read data, ticket data such as reduction update data corresponding to the fare and monitoring data are written and checked (5th to 7th steps n5 to n?)
.

If the written data is correct, the CRT
26, the ticket data is displayed, and the displayed data is visually checked and managed by the lifeguard (8th to 11th steps n8 to
n11).

In this case, if the ticket should be returned such as a commuter pass at the time of bidding,
The ticket is discharged from the ticket discharge port 14 via the main conveyor belt device 23 (steps n12 to 14), and if the ticket is to be collected, it is transferred to the collection box 25 via the sub conveyor belt device 24. After the collection process, one ticket gate process ends (15th to 16th steps n15 to 116).

By the way, if it is determined in the fifth step n5 that the read data is inappropriate, the CPU 31 displays the inappropriate data recorded on the ticket on the CRT 26, and also adds abnormal data that cannot be read magnetically to the read data. If there is a,
The abnormality data is displayed and processed on the CRT 26, and the guard can instantly detect an abnormal condition such as a fraudulent ticket at the ticket gate by looking at the display screen of the CRT 26, and can take prompt action by the staff. 19th step n17-n19).

Further, the display control operation of the CRT 26 will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the ticket data at the time of ticket inspection is transmitted from the automatic ticket gate machine described above, it is determined whether the data is the corresponding magnetic data (21st to 22nd steps n2l-n22), and the appropriate magnetic data is determined. If so, display it on the CRT 26 for the observer to see (23rd to 24th steps n23 to
n24).

However, if it is determined that the magnetic data is not appropriate, the alarm 27 of the CRT 26 will emit an alarm sound to notify the staff, and the abnormality data will be displayed on the CRT 26 (25th to 26th steps n25 to n26). .

As mentioned above, all ticket data at the ticket gate is displayed on a CRT, and just by visually checking the data displayed on this CRT, a supervisor can instantly detect whether or not a fraudulent ticket is valid. It is possible to reliably reduce fraudulent activities.

Further, even in emergency processing that requires a staff member, the staff member can visually check the data to be processed in advance and grasp it at an early stage, making the process smoother.

In the correspondence between this invention and the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, the automatic ticket gate of this invention corresponds to the ticket gate main body 11 of the embodiment, and the writing means corresponds to the ticket information writing section A2 in the same manner below.
