Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate in railways and the like, and a method for detecting an illegal passenger using a commuter pass.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, a commuter pass can be checked at a ticket gate of a railway or the like either manually by hand or mechanically by an automatic ticket gate. Although there is a difference in method between manual and automatic ticket gates,
In both cases, the content to be inspected is performed by comparing information such as valid period data and section data with information on the ticket gate.

FIG. 6 is a table showing a conventional commuter pass check method. Here, the commuter ticket data (section data and validity period data) pre-filled in the commuter ticket and the ticket gate data (embarkation station, boarding and alighting date and time) at each ticket gate 1
4 is compared and evaluated. Only when the overall evaluation is OK, the ticket can be legally licensed, provided that the ticket data is in the commuter ticket data.

[0004]

However, various frauds have been made because the conventional commuter pass does not have data at the time of boarding, that is, the boarding station and boarding date and time. Fraud that could not be detected by the conventional checking method described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing an illegal boarding example (1), and FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing an illegal boarding example (2).

In (1), boarding is carried out with a ticket having the lowest amount of money from areas other than the commuter ticket section, and getting off with the commuter ticket within the commuter ticket section. That is, the section from the end station of the purchased ticket section to the start station of the commuter ticket section is an illegal boarding section.

[0006] In (2), the commuter ticket A having the lowest amount of money, which includes the boarding station in the section data, is purchased, and the same commuter ticket B is obtained at the disembarking station.
Has been purchased and both commuter passes have been used. That is, the section from the terminal station of the commuter ticket A to the starting station of the commuter ticket B is an illegal boarding section.

As described above, the present invention checks boarding data (boarding station, boarding date and time, etc.) from a commuter ticket in order to eliminate the problem that an illegal passenger cannot be detected only by the conventional method of checking a commuter ticket. The purpose is to provide an automatic ticket gate system.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a station-specific data memory unit in which boarding data of a boarding station name and boarding date and time are stored in an automatic ticket gate, a control unit for reading commuter pass data when getting on and off, and a control unit. When the commuter ticket data is determined to be positive, the medium data read / write unit that stores and / or erases the boarding data stored in the station-specific data memory unit in the commuter ticket storage medium, and the control unit When the commuter pass data is determined to be fraudulent, personal data of the passenger using the commuter pass determined to be fraudulent data is saved, and a warning message is given to the occupant detected from the list of saved personal data. And an illegal passenger list memory unit for issuing the.

According to the present invention, the step of writing the boarding station name and boarding date and time on the storage medium of the commuter ticket at the automatic ticket gate when boarding, and the boarding data of the boarding station name and boarding date and time at the automatic ticket gate when getting off When the step of erasing from the storage medium of the ticket and the boarding data are compared with the valid data stored in advance in the commuter ticket at the time of boarding and getting off, if it is judged to be fraudulent, the commutation ticket judged to be fraudulent Saving the personal data of the occupant who used the above, and creating an unauthorized passenger list from the saved personal data to detect an unauthorized passenger.

[0010]

In the present invention, the commuter ticket inserted into the automatic ticket gate at the boarding station at the time of boarding is first checked for valid data such as section data and valid period data by the control unit. Next, it is confirmed whether the previous boarding data (boarding station, boarding date and time, etc.) has been deleted. If it is erased, the boarding data stored in the station-specific data memory section is stored in the storage medium and element of the commuter pass by the medium data read / write section. Here, if the valid data of the commuter pass is not satisfied, the commuter pass is ejected from the ticket insertion slot. If the previous boarding data has not been deleted, it is determined that the passenger got off without using the commuter ticket when getting off the vehicle last time, and the personal data of the user of the commuter ticket is taken into the illegal passenger list memory section. After the previous boarding data is erased and new boarding data is stored, the commuter pass is ejected from the ticket exit.

Further, the valid data of the commuter ticket inserted into the automatic ticket gate of the disembarking station at the time of disembarking is checked by the control unit as at the time of disembarking, and then it is confirmed whether or not the disembarking data is stored. If the boarding data is stored and the contents are not incorrect, the medium data read / write unit erases the boarding data of the storage medium and the element of the commuter pass, and the commuter pass is discharged from the ticket outlet. Here, if the valid data of the commuter pass is not satisfied, the commuter pass is ejected from the ticket insertion slot. When the boarding data is not stored, it is determined that the boarding is an illegal boarding without using the commuter ticket, and the personal data of the user of the commuter ticket is taken into the illegal boarder list memory unit. And if the user of the commuter pass is detected in the illegal boarding list, a warning message will be issued,
If it is not detected in the illegal passenger list, the commuter ticket is discharged from the ticket outlet after the personal data of the commuter ticket user is taken into the illegal passenger list memory unit.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the automatic ticket gate of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the entire system of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, 1 is a station where passengers enter and leave, 2
Is an automatic ticket gate installed in the station, 3 is a communication cable that connects the sub-host 4 and the automatic ticket gate 2, and 5 is a communication cable that connects the host 6 and the sub-host 4.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 21 is a control section for controlling each section of the automatic ticket gate, 22 is a medium data read / write section for reading / writing boarding station, boarding date and time, etc. on board a medium (commuter ticket etc.). A station-specific data memory unit that stores the contents to be read / written on the medium, 24 is an illegal passenger list memory unit, 25 is a medium traveling system control unit, and 26 is a medium such as a motor or magnet controlled by the medium traveling control unit. A traveling unit, 27 is a communication control unit that transmits and receives data to and from the sub-host, and 3 is a communication cable that connects the automatic ticket gate 2 and the sub-host 4 as in FIG.

To explain the outline of the entire system, the commuter ticket inserted into the automatic ticket gate 2 at the time of boarding is read by the control unit 21. The control unit 21 first confirms whether the valid data (valid period, valid section, etc.) of the commuter pass and the previous boarding data (boarding station, boarding date and time, etc.) have been deleted. When the commuter pass data is determined to be invalid by the control unit 21, the passenger data is determined to be the illegal passenger list memory unit 24.
Is taken into. When the commuter pass data is not determined to be invalid by the control unit 21, the boarding data contents stored in the station-specific data memory unit 23 are written in the commuter pass by the medium read / write unit 22.

Further, the commuter ticket inserted in the automatic ticket gate 2 is read into the control unit 21 even when getting off the vehicle, as when getting on. The control unit 21 first confirms the valid data of the commuter pass and the stored boarding data. If the data of the commuter pass is determined to be illegal by the control 21, it is checked whether the passenger data is not included in the illegal passenger list memory unit 24, and if it is included, it is determined that the commuter ticket is used. It is determined that the person is an unauthorized passenger, and the communication control unit 27 sends a warning message to the sub-host 4 via the communication cable 3. If the commuter pass is not included, the commuter pass is determined to be fraudulent, but the commuter pass is not sent to the sub-host 4 and is taken into the fraudulent passenger list memory unit 24. If the data of the commuter pass is not determined to be invalid by the control unit 21, the boarding data written in the commuter pass is erased by the medium read / write unit 22.

Further, the sub-host 4 collectively transmits the illegal passenger data received from each automatic ticket gate 2 to the host 6 via the communication cable 5 after a certain amount or a certain time has elapsed. The host 6 organizes the illegal passenger data that has been received from each station 1. The organized data is stored in the illegal passenger list memory unit 24 of each automatic ticket gate 2 through the sub-host 4 through the data of the illegal passengers who have illegally boarded more than a certain number of times within a certain period.

Here, in the configuration of the present invention, the illegal passenger list memory unit 24 is built in the automatic ticket gate 2, but this is for the illegal passengers due to operational mistakes or intensive detection of malicious passengers. It is provided in order to have an artificial width for detection, and if the illegal passenger list memory unit 24 is set to infinity, it is possible to detect all the illegal persons in the commuter pass data.

Further, the configuration of the present invention shows one example, and the unauthorized passenger list memory unit 24 built in the automatic ticket gate 2 may be provided in the sub-host 4, for example.

Next, the method of detecting an illegal passenger according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 is a flowchart for checking an illegal passenger when getting on, FIG. 4 is a flowchart for checking an illegal passenger when getting off, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart for creating a list of illegal passengers.

As shown in FIG. 3, at the time of boarding, first, the valid period and then the valid section data are checked. If the data is not satisfied, the commuter pass is discharged from the ticket insertion slot and the boarding is rejected. If the data is satisfied, then it is checked whether the boarding data is in a clear state, that is, whether the previous boarding data has been deleted. If the boarding data has not been cleared, it is judged that the passenger got off without using the commuter ticket when getting off, and the personal data stored in the commuter ticket was captured before the boarding data was cleared. 4 is transmitted. Then, new boarding data is written in the commuter ticket, the commuter ticket is ejected from the ticket exit, and the boarding procedure is completed.

As shown in FIG. 4, when getting off the vehicle, the valid period and the valid section data are checked. If the data is not satisfied, the commuter pass is discharged from the ticket insertion slot and the getting off is rejected. If the data is satisfied, then check the boarding data written on the commuter pass. In the boarding data, when the boarding station and the getting-off station are the same and a certain time or more has passed, it is determined to be the same as the case of the illegal boarding example (2) shown in FIG. 8, and the boarding data is cleared. Is determined to be the illegal boarding example (1) shown in FIG. 7. If there is any such fraud, compare it with the fraudulent passenger list,
If it is a lister, it is regarded as an illegal boarding and a warning message is transmitted to the sub-host 4 to prompt the staff to instruct. If it is not a lister, personal data is taken in and transmitted to the sub-host 4. After that, the boarding data is erased, the commuter pass is discharged from the ticket outlet, and the getting-off procedure is completed.

From FIG. 5, in creating an illegal boarding list,
When the sub-host 4 storing the illegal boarding data (personal data) exceeds a certain period or a certain amount, the illegal boarding data is transmitted to the host 6. The host 6 arranges the illegal boarding data to create a list of the illegal boarding passengers exceeding a certain amount within a certain period, and the data is transmitted to the sub-host 4 of each station. Then, the data is transmitted from the sub-host 4 to each automatic ticket gate 2 and stored in the unauthorized passenger list memory unit 24.

When passengers board a train ticket and a commuter ticket other than the commuter ticket, the passenger and the commuter ticket are put in the automatic ticket gate 2 at the same time when getting off, so that it is not judged as an illegal boarding.

[0026]

As described above in detail, in the present invention, the boarding data of the boarding station and the boarding date and time are stored in the storage medium of the commuter pass at the boarding gate, and the boarding data is erased at the getting-off ticket gate. Since it has a system that allows you to check for illegal boarding using a commuter pass.

Since a list of illegal passengers who have exceeded a certain amount within a certain period is stored in the automatic ticket gate, it is effective in detecting misidentification of illegal passengers due to operational mistakes and detection of malicious passengers. .
