Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a contactless card used in a contactless automatic ticket gate and a processing device for the card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, an automatic ticket gate, which is widely used, is constructed so that a ticket or a commuter ticket is inserted into a main body of the automatic ticket gate to perform an automatic ticket gate. However, this insertion-type automatic ticket gate has a problem that the commuter ticket user has to insert and remove the commuter ticket from the commuter ticket compartment each time the commuter ticket user passes through the ticket gate.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, data is exchanged between the main body of the automatic ticket gate and the commuter pass (card) in a non-contact manner so that the main body of the automatic ticket gate can be fixed. A non-contact type automatic ticket gate has been proposed which is capable of performing an automatic ticket gate without inserting a ticket (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 1).
No. 246687).

By the way, the non-contact type card (hereinafter referred to as a card) according to the above proposal is an IC card having a communication function. It has a feature that the storage capacity is much larger than that of a card.

Therefore, it has been considered to make use of this feature to provide the card with a function other than the commuter pass to compensate for the above-mentioned drawbacks.

[0006] As one of them, the card is provided with a function of a stored fair (hereinafter referred to as SF) so that the card can be purchased at a shop in a station or can be used by an automatic ticket vending machine or an automatic checkout machine. Instead, it should be able to be used directly at automatic ticket gates.

However, if the card can be used directly at an automatic ticket gate, if the boarding section is partly included in the commuter ticket section, or if the commuter section is included in the boarding section, the boarding charge by the SF card Became unknown, and later,
There is concern that it may be inconvenient when paying for transportation expenses at companies.

For example, in the route shown in FIG. 6, when the commuter pass section (boarding section of the commuter pass) is from station A to station B, the boarding pattern (hereinafter referred to as P) 1 When entering or exiting outside, there is no problem because the entire boarding section is charged with the SF card, and you can settle with that fare. However, if you enter from outside the commuter pass section like P2 and enter inside the commuter pass section, or if you enter from inside the commuter ticket section like P3 and out of the commuter pass section,
Alternatively, if there is a commuter pass section between entry and exit, as in P4, the settlement amount may not be known.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose thereof is to provide a card with an SF.
An object of the present invention is to provide a card and a card processing device for the card, in which the usage fee of the SF card is clear even if the card and the commuter pass are used together.
