[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a ticket is issued, the boarding date (usable period in the case of a commuter pass), boarding station and available section are printed on the front surface or written as magnetic data on the back surface by an automatic ticket issuing device. I was disappointed. Also, regarding the coupon ticket, the usable section and usable period are printed on the front surface by the automatic ticket issuing device at the time of ticketing, and the magnetic data is printed on the back surface.
It was written as data. Then, the contents of the information are checked by the station staff or conductors manually when the user enters, during boarding, or at the time of exit, and at some stations, whether it is used correctly when entering or exiting. Was checked by the automatic ticket gate.

Regarding the automatic ticket gate as described above,
For example, it is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 02-4957. FIG. 3 is a side view showing an internal structure of a conventional automatic ticket gate, and 1 is an automatic ticket gate. At the upper right end of the automatic ticket gate 1, there is provided a medium insertion slot 2 for inserting a boarding medium such as a ticket, a commuter pass or a coupon ticket having magnetically encoded correctness determination data, and at the upper left end opposite thereto. Is provided with a medium outlet 3 for returning the inserted riding medium to the user. This conventionally proposed automatic ticket gate 1 allows a passenger, that is, a user to insert a boarding medium into the medium insertion port 2 so that the boarding medium is conveyed to the medium ejection port 3 on the conveyance path 4, and A reading unit 5 for reading magnetic data from the boarding medium during transportation is provided on the transportation path 4. The read data that has been read is sent to a data processing determination unit (not shown) to determine whether the boarding medium is correct, and based on the result of this determination, a door (not shown) is opened or closed to guide the passage of the user. , Or to prevent it. In the automatic ticket gate 1 as described above, a ticket, a commuter ticket, or a coupon ticket is processed and processed.
It is possible to judge, but other than collecting used tickets or coupon tickets, users such as commuter tickets, fraudulent tickets, contact tickets that are valid for contacting other companies' lines, tickets that can be dropped off in the middle of the way The return ticket to be returned to

However, in the conventional check method, the user enters with the lowest section fare or the ticket with insufficient fare or the number of tickets at the time of entry, and the exit station is included in the available section at the time of exit. There was a problem that an illegal ride, commonly known as a Kiseru, is possible if you participate with a commuter pass. This is because there is no way to check whether the user has used the same ticket, commuter pass or coupon ticket at the time of entry and at the time of exit, and it is impossible to determine whether the user has used it correctly.

In view of the above problems, the present invention is the position of the station or the time when the passenger enters the magnetic tape portion on the back of the boarding ticket, commuter ticket or coupon ticket, which is a boarding medium, by the automatic ticket gate. "Admission data" which is the data showing
By writing, the purpose is to prevent an illegal ride, commonly known as a Kiseru.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to the position of the station or the entrance to the magnetic tape section on the back side of the ticket, commuter ticket or coupon ticket when entering by an automatic ticket gate. Write the "entry data", which is the data indicating the time when the

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The same elements as those in FIG. 3 described above are designated by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. FIG. 2 is an example of a boarding medium for realizing the present invention. First, a user who does not own a commuter pass or a coupon ticket purchases a ticket with an automatic ticket issuing device or the like. At this time, the boarding date, the boarding station, or the available section is printed on the front surface of the boarding ticket by the automatic ticket issuing device, and written on the back surface as magnetic data. Then, at the time of admission, a ticket, a commuter pass or a coupon ticket (hereinafter referred to as "medium insertion slot 2" of the automatic ticket gate 1
The medium 6 including a ticket to be described later) is inserted.
At this time, the automatic ticket gate apparatus 1 checks the validity of the medium 6 (the expiration date for the commuter pass, the usage section, etc., the issuing date for the ticket, the boarding station, etc.), and if there is no fraud, the magnetic tape unit 7 of the medium is checked. A data indicating the position of the station where you board
The "entry data", which is the data, is written and returned to the user from the medium eject port 3. If fraud is discovered at this time,
By sending an alarm mounted on the automatic ticket gate 1 and turning on a warning light, the station staff is informed of fraud, and the entrance of the user is blocked.

Next, if the user is overtaking, he / she has to carry out the overtime settlement by the automatic settlement device. Normally, when entering, the user carries out the transit check-out using the medium 6 that has passed through the automatic ticket gate apparatus 1 (in the case of valid use of the boarding ticket and the commuter pass, the transit check-out is performed using both media). In the automatic settlement device, the presence or absence of "entry data" in the magnetic tape portion 7 of the inserted medium 6 is checked, and it is further determined whether or not this medium 6 has been used correctly, so that the medium 6 is used correctly. If so, the additional charge (difference) is displayed, and after the displayed amount is collected, the ticket is issued. By the way, the "admission data" having the same content as the medium 6 inserted in the automatic settlement device is transcribed on the magnetic tape portion 7 of the settlement ticket issued here. If the medium 6 inserted in the automatic settlement device is a commuter pass, the "entry data" written on the back side is erased and returned to the user from the medium outlet of the device. As a result, it is possible to prevent illegal issuance of a plurality of checkout tickets. On the other hand, if the medium 6 inserted in the automatic settlement device is a ticket, it is collected in the device.

At the time of entry, the user gets off the medium 6 that has passed through the automatic ticket gate 1 at the boarding station when entering the automatic ticket gate 1 at the station.
The medium is inserted from the medium insertion port 2. In the case of transit, the transit settlement is performed by the method described above, and the ticket issued by the automatic settlement device is inserted from the medium insertion slot 2 of the automatic ticket gate 1. In the automatic ticket gate 1, the presence or absence of "entry data" in the magnetic tape portion 7 on the back surface of the inserted medium 6 is checked, and further it is determined whether or not this medium 6 is used correctly, and the medium 6 is used correctly. If the fraud is found at this time, if the fraud is discovered at this time, the fraud is notified to the station staff by sending an alarm mounted on the automatic ticket gate 1 and turning on a warning light. , Prevent the user from leaving.

Then, in the automatic ticket gate 1, the medium 6
After the checking and judgment of the "entry data" written in the magnetic tape section 7 on the back side is completed and the inserted medium 6 is a commuter pass, the "writing data" written in the magnetic tape section 7 on the back side is written. The "entrance data" is erased and returned to the user from the medium eject port 3. If the medium 6 inserted in the automatic ticket gate 1 is a boarding ticket, a coupon ticket, or a settlement ticket, the medium 6 is collected in the automatic ticket gate 1.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure of the illegal boarding prevention method according to the present invention. In addition, this prevention method is a process when the user passes through the automatic ticket gate 1 which sends an alarm or turns on a warning light when a user finds that he is illegally boarding at the time of participation. It is a procedure. The user inserts the medium 6 from the medium insertion slot 2 of the automatic ticket gate 1 at the time of participation (step S1). First medium 6
