(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the automatic ticket gate system of the present invention. That is, a plurality of automatic ticket gates 1.2, .
It is composed of a central processing unit 20 connected to...

The above-mentioned automatic ticket gates 1.2, . It is determined whether the fingerprint data from the fingerprint registration memory 11, in which the fingerprint data is stored together with the corresponding personal identification data, and the fingerprint reading unit 10 match the fingerprint data stored in the fingerprint registration memory 11, and whether or not the fingerprint data matches the fingerprint data stored in the fingerprint registration memory 11 is determined. If there is fingerprint data that allows the door opening/closing unit 13 to open the door, the fingerprint data outputs the time from a timer (not shown), personal identification data, and the machine number of the automatic ticket gate to the central processing unit 20. It is constituted by an identification determination section 12.

The central processing unit 20 stores the time, personal identification data, and machine number from the fingerprint identification determination unit 12, . . . of each automatic ticket gate 1.2, . Remember. The central processing unit 20 also controls each automatic ticket gate 1
．． When it is determined that it is time to exit the bath based on the data from the fingerprint identification determination unit 12, . Add it to the total amount corresponding to the memory 21
is memorized.

The central processing unit 20 reads the total amount corresponding to the personal identification data stored in the memory 21 in a predetermined mill and the account information of the financial institution, and debits the total amount from the financial institution's account, or withdraws the total amount from the financial institution's account, or withdraws the total amount from the financial institution's account, or withdraws the total amount corresponding to the personal identification data stored in the memory 21. A process is performed in which the total amount is subtracted from the deposited amount corresponding to the data.

Note that if you have a contract for a commuter pass, the amount of money for the section from station A to station B, from what month and day to what day of the month, will not change.

Next, in such a configuration, an explanation will be given with reference to ticket gate processing operations performed by passengers. First, the processing at the time of entry in the automatic ticket gate device 1 will be explained. Now, the customer's fingerprint is read by the fingerprint reading unit 1o, and the fingerprint data is output to the fingerprint identification determination unit 12.
