It has a structure in which a radio selective calling receiver having a battery 15 for supplying power to the unit is integrally formed into a card shape.

The number of receivers equal to the total number of seats on each departure flight per day 1
To prepare. A group code, which is the flight number of each departure flight, and an individual code, which is the seat number of each departure flight, are written in advance in the magnetic memory 11. Further, the decoder 13 has a calling number corresponding to the flight number written in the magnetic memory 11 built therein.

4 and 5 are a block diagram and a perspective view of the entry / exit registration device 2.

The entrance / exit registration device 2 is provided on each floor A to C as shown in FIG.
It is installed in the exit and entrance gates of the radio 1
Card reader 2 for reading the contents stored in the magnetic memory 11
1, and a transmission / reception circuit 22 for transmitting registration data obtained by adding a code indicating an installation location (for example, an entrance of floor A) to the information read by the card reading device 21 and receiving display data transmitted by the computer 3. A display device 23 that displays the display data received by the transmission / reception circuit 22 is included. The reference numeral 24 in FIG. 5 indicates a card insertion port of the card reading device 21.

Next, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

First, the flight number of each departure flight and each seat number, boarding time, and boarding gate number of each departure flight are input from the controller 4 and stored in the computer 3.

At the check-in counter of each airline, when the tower passenger checks in, the receiver 1 in which the flight number and the seat number of the checked-in departure flight are written in the magnetic memory 11 is handed over to the tower passenger. The boarding passenger who has been passed the receiver 1 enters the card insertion slot 24 of the entry / exit registration device 2 when entering or exiting any of the waiting rooms on the floors A to C.
Insert the magnetic card. As a result, which seat number of which flight number the boarding passenger entered in which waiting room,
Alternatively, the information as to whether it has come out is sent to the computer 3 via the card reading device 21 of the entry / exit registration device 2 and the transmission / reception circuit 22. The computer 3 classifies the sent information, creates and updates a table indicating which seat number of the waiting passenger on which floor is in the waiting room for each flight number, stores the table, and also stores the sent information. Data indicating the boarding time and the boarding gate number corresponding to the flight number in the middle is sent to the entry / exit registration device 2. The display device 23 that has received this data via the transmission / reception circuit 22 displays the flight number, boarding time, and boarding gate number, as illustrated in FIG. Therefore, the passenger waiting for boarding can confirm the boarding time and the boarding gate number every time he / she enters or leaves each waiting room.

When the boarding time comes for each flight number, the computer 3 sends the flight number corresponding to the boarding time to the transmitter 6. When the transmitter 6 receives the flight number, the transmitter 6 transmits a modulated wave that is modulated with data including the calling number corresponding to the flight number. As a result, at that time, the receiver 1 carried by the onboard passengers who should gather at the boarding gate makes a sound to inform that it is the boarding time.

When there is a passenger waiting for boarding who does not gather at the boarding gate at the boarding time after checking in, the clerk inputs the flight number from the controller 4, and the computer 3 displays the above-mentioned table of the flight number on the display device 5. To do.
By looking at this display, the attendant can know which floor the waiting passengers who are not gathered are in the waiting room, so that he can find the waiting passengers who are not gathering just by searching the waiting room on that floor.

In addition, when the receiver 1 is handed over to a passenger, if a transparent patch with a flight number and the like is written on it with a transparent paint that is colored by shining a specific radio wave or light on the arm, etc. It is convenient to search for passengers waiting for a flight with a specific flight number, and such a transparent patch is accepted by passengers without any resistance.

If the number of departing flights is extremely large, change the radio frequency of receiver 1 and transmitter 2 for each airline, and set the call number for each flight number within each airline to reduce the number of call numbers. Then, the receiver 1 can also have a simple configuration.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above for use at an airport. However, when used at a tourist spot, an entrance / exit registration device is installed at each tourist spot in that tourist spot, and a group code is set for each tourist group. You only have to set individual codes for the number of guests of each tourism group.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention enables each person to confirm information such as the gathering time and the gathering place by the display of the entry / exit registration device each time each of the group guests goes in and out of any of a plurality of separated areas. Since the radio selective calling receiver that calls each person at the gathering time can be made inexpensive without a display, there is an effect that loss due to omission of collection of the radio selective calling receiver can be reduced,
In addition, since the information processing device can know in which area each of the group guests is located from the information received from each entry / exit registration device, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the time and effort for the guide to search for the customers who do not meet at the meeting time. .
