Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 1 and 2 and 3. In the on-board designated ticket issuing system configured as described above, a user who has boarded without a designated ticket requests the staff member 12 for a designated ticket when attempting to board a designated seat car. Staff 1
2 is the operation unit 1 of the designated ticket issuing device 2 installed in the staff room
5 is operated to request a reserved seat (steps 101, 1).
02). The requested data is sent from the central processing unit 13 through the train radio line terminating device 18 and the train radio line 17 (steps 103 and 104) and again to the reserved seat management host computer 7 through the train radio line terminating device 18. (Steps 105 and 106). The reserved seat management host computer 7 confirms whether the reserved seat car 9 has a vacancy, and if there is a vacancy, reserves a reserved seat (step 107),
The seat information and print data of the designated ticket are transmitted again to the central processing unit 13 through the train radio line terminating device 18, the train radio line 17, and the train radio line terminating device 18 (steps 108 to 112). Based on the received data, the central processing unit 13 displays the presence of the designated seat on the display unit 14 (step 113), prints it on the journal printer 16 and issues the designated ticket on the ticket issuing printer 3 (step 11).
4,115). If the reserved seat car 9 has no vacancy, the reserved seat management host computer 7 transmits an answer indicating no vacancy to the central processing unit 13 (steps 108, 116 to 11).
9). The central processing unit 13 displays on the display unit 14 that there is no space and prints on the journal printer 16 that there is no space (steps 120 and 121).

Embodiment 2 (corresponding to claim 2). FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the second embodiment. 4, the components corresponding to those shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In the second embodiment, the train 11
The designated ticket issuing device 2 is provided with an in-vehicle supplement ticket issuing machine connection device 20 that connects to an in-vehicle supplement ticket issuing machine 19 that issues a fare ticket such as a boarding ticket and a limited express ticket for passing over.
The designated ticket issuing device 2 is installed in the train 11.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. When the clerk 12 carries the onboard supplement ticket issuing machine 19 that issues fare tickets such as transit tickets and limited express tickets on the train 11 to perform the ticket inspection (step 201), the designated ticket is acquired in advance. However, if there is a user 4 who is in a free seat car before the designated train (step 202), the designated ticket information is registered in the in-vehicle supplement ticket issuing machine 19 in advance. (Step 203).
After the ticket inspection is completed (step 204), the attendant 12 returns to the attendant room and connects the in-vehicle supplement ticket issuing machine 19 to the in-vehicle supplement ticket issuing machine connection device 20 provided in the designated ticket issuing device 2 (step 205). . The central processing unit 13 reads out the designated ticket information registered in the in-vehicle supplement ticket issuing machine 19 (step 206), and transmits a designated ticket cancellation request to the designated seat management host computer 7 (steps 207 to 21).
6) The answer is received and the result is displayed on the display unit 14 (step 217). According to this embodiment, it is possible to cancel the designated ticket information of the designated seat vehicle designated by the designated ticket while the free seat vehicle is still on board, and the canceled seat is re-ridden by another user. As a result, efficient train operation can be performed.

Embodiment 3 (corresponding to claim 3). FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the leak cable 21 is wired to the train 11, the transceiver 23 is connected to the central processing unit 13, and the wireless handy terminal 22 is used for the ticket inspection by the attendant 12.
