Abstract

PURPOSE:To check a stock number without extending ticket issuing time with simple constitution by reading data from a data track, reading the stock number from a stock umber track, and issuing a ticket when both numbers are judged as valid. CONSTITUTION:A medium 1 with MS provided with the data track 1-1 on which the data is to be written, and the stock number track 1-2 on which the stock number is written in advance is provided. After an MS write heat 2 writes the data on the data track 1-1 with MS of the medium 1, an MS read head 3 reads the data and the stock number from the data track 1-1 and the stock number track 1-2, and checks them, respectively, and the ticket is issued when they are judged as valid. In such a manner, the check of the stock number can be performed without extending the ticket issuing time with the simple constitution.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding the stock number check method in which tickets are issued by encoding and printing on media with MS, a trunk dedicated to the stock number is provided, and the trunk is read from the data track and used when checking the blueprint. A data track for writing data and a stock number track for writing stock numbers are provided for the purpose of reading and checking stock numbers from the stock number trunk with a simple configuration and without prolonging ticket issuing time. M
A medium with S is provided, and after data is written to the MS data track of this medium by an MS write head, the written data is read by an MS read head and the stock number and the stock number of the track are combined. The system is configured so that the read contents are checked, and when both are OK, the ticket is issued.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a stock number checker system in a ticket issuing machine. Ticket media such as airline tickets are cash vouchers, so great care is taken in managing them. Normally, each medium is stamped with a sequential number (hereinafter referred to as a stock number), so that even if some of the media is stolen, it can be detected immediately. For media with MS, this stock number is encoded in the MS, and when tickets are issued, this is read and checked by an MS league. At this time, it is desired to quickly perform stock number checking, data writing, etc. with a simple configuration.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] Conventionally, when issuing tickets for media such as Chisokesoto, stock numbers were checked by checking the stock numbers encoded on the MS of the media stocked in the ticket issuing machine using a dedicated MS.
If the order was correct, the data would be encoded and printed and a ticket would be issued.On the other hand, if the stock number was incorrect, it would be treated as an error and the ticket would not be issued.

For this reason, in the conventional method, it is necessary to provide a dedicated MS read head to read and check the stock number before the encoding/printing section, resulting in a complicated structure and high cost. was there.

Also, M for checking the encoded data.
If the S read head is used as a substitute for checking the stock number, it is necessary to read the stock number, return the medium, write it, and check the data again using the MS write head, which increases ticketing time. The problem was that it became necessary.

The present invention provides a trunk exclusively for stock numbers, reads from the data track and checks the stock number at the same time as reading from the stock number track, and checks the stock number with a simple configuration and without prolonging ticket issuing time. The purpose is to perform a check.

[Means to solve the problem] Means for solving the problem will be explained with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1, if the medium l is the data
This is a medium with an MS provided with a track 1-1 and a stock number track 12 in which a stock number is written in advance.

The MS write head 2 is a head that writes data to the MS data track 1-1 of the medium.

The MS read head 3 is a head that reads data and stock numbers from the MS data track 1-1 and stock number track 12 of the medium.

(Function) As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a medium 1 with an MS provided with a data track 1-1 on which data is written and a stock number track 1-2 on which a stock number is written in advance. After node 2 writes data to data track 1-1 of MS on this medium l, node 3 writes data to data track 1-1 to MS read.
The data and stock number are read from the stock number track 1-2 and checked, and the ticket is issued when both are OK.

Therefore, a stock number track 1-2 dedicated to stock numbers is provided, and the MS read head 3 is used to read and check data from the data trunk L-1. By reading the number, checking it, and issuing the ticket when both are OK, it becomes possible to check the stock number with simple IiR and without prolonging the ticket issuing time.

〔Example〕

Next, the configuration and operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail using FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIG. 1(A), medium 1B is a medium on which a sheet-like MS (gas medium) is provided on a ticket holder, etc., and on which characters and the like are printed. For example, a first track and a second trunk are provided as a data trunk 1-1 for writing data such as name, destination, amount, etc. on the MS of this medium, and a stock number is also provided to prevent theft of the medium such as the ticket lift. Pre-written (encoded) stock number track 1. A third trunk is provided as -2. Stock number track 1
-2, the third trunk has ST at the beginning as shown in the figure.
X” (start mark), 4 stroke number “ET
X'' (end mark), LRC'' (horizontal parity check bit), etc. are written in advance as a group.

In Figure 1 (b), to MS light, 7 do 2 b, 1
Figure (a) shows a magnetic head that writes data to the first trunk and the second trunk, which are data tracks 1-1.

The MS read head 3 reads the data written in the first trunk and the second trunk, which are data track 1-1 in FIG. This is a magnetic head that leads the numbers. Check these lead data and stock numbers and confirm
I try to issue tickets at the time of the event.

Next, the operation of the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in detail in accordance with the order shown in the flowchart of FIG.

In FIG. 2, ■ takes out a ticket from the stocker.

@ writes data. This is the first trunk, which is the data track 1-1 on the medium 1 in FIG.
Data (for example, name, destination, amount, etc.) is written into the second track using the MS write head 2 (FIG. 1(b)). Then, the processing of ■ to 0 and the processing of [stock] to [phase] are performed simultaneously in parallel.

(2) Performs a bruch check (first and second trunks). This is the data read from the first and second trunks by the MS read head 3 in FIG.
Verify the destination (destination, amount, etc.).

(2) determines whether or not the blue check of (2) is OK.

If YES, perform ■. If no, press ■ to 3.
It is determined whether it is the third time or not, and if YES, void printing (invalidation) is performed by pressing O, while if NO, the ticket is returned to its original position by pressing [phase], and the steps starting from ■ are repeated.

The written data is read from the first and second tracks by the above processing of 0 to O, and if it is correct, a ticket is issued after ■, and if it is incorrect, the write/read/blue check is repeated three times, and the data is still correct. I am trying to invalidate it by printing void when it is not available.

[Phase] checks the stock number (third stock number).

0 determines whether the [phase] check is OK.

In the case of YES, perform the following steps. If NO, error handling is performed.

■ performs data printing. This is to print data when the written data is correct with ■YES and the stock number is correct with [phase] YES.

0 is ejected and issued.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the stock number track 12 dedicated to stock numbers is provided, and the MS
The read hesode 3 is used to read the data from the data trunk 1-1 and check it, and at the same time read the stock number from the stock number track 1-2 and check it, and when both are OK, a ticket is issued. Since this system is adopted, it is possible to check the stock number with a simple configuration and without prolonging the ticket issuing time.
