Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The train a travels on a line where manned stations A and C and unmanned stations B and D coexist as shown in FIG. 4, and the manned stations A and C are non-contact automatic. Each ticket gate a is installed.

In the interior of the train near the doors D1 to D4 which hit the entrance / exit of the train a, the main body of the non-contact type automatic ticket gate (hereinafter
"Main body"), 1, ... Are installed respectively.

This main body 1 is similar to the main bodies of the non-contact type automatic ticket gates installed at the above-mentioned A station and C station, and is a non-contact type card (hereinafter, referred to as "contactless type card" composed of an IC card having a wireless communication function. It is configured so that data can be exchanged without contact with a "card").

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration diagram of the main body 1 and the card 10. Explaining from the main body 1, the main body 1 has an antenna 2a for communicating with the card 10 side.
And a controller 2 mainly composed of a microcomputer for controlling the main body 1 in general.
And a human detection sensor 4 including a photo sensor for detecting a user getting on and off. The human detection sensor 4 does not necessarily have to be installed in the main body 1, and its installation location is not limited as long as it can detect a user getting on and off.

The controller 3 is configured to receive information indicating that the train a has stopped at the manned stations A and C or the unmanned stations B and D. This information can be received from the ground side when the train a has passed a predetermined position.

Further, the controller 3 is connected to a display device 5 provided in the passenger compartment a ', a', which is omitted in FIG.

The card C has a detection circuit 12 for detecting a signal received by the antenna 11, and a CPU 13 having a memory M for storing data from the transmitter 2 and card data such as a boarding section and amount data.
A waveform modification circuit 14 for generating a waveform signal corresponding to card data, a modulation circuit 15 for modulating the phase of the reflected signal, and a battery 16 for driving the card C are provided.

Here, data exchange between the card C and the main body 1 will be described. When the transmission signal transmitted from the antenna 2a is received by the antenna 11, the detection circuit 12 extracts the transmission data from the transmitter 2 and the CPU 1
3 memory M. And this CPU 13
Outputs the card data (digital signal) to be sent to the transmitter 2 to the modulation circuit 15 via the waveform transformation circuit 14.

When the antenna 2'of the transmitter 2 receives the reflection signal reflected by the antenna 11, the reception circuit (not shown) performs detection processing, filtering processing and amplification processing to extract data from the card 10 side. Then, the extracted card data is sent to the controller 3 and used for the arithmetic processing of the automatic ticket gate.

When riding without a card C from an unmanned station, the user gets a boarding station certificate issued by a ticket issuing device (not shown) provided in the main body 1 and gets on the boarding station.
Therefore, when getting off, the user can use the boarding station certificate to settle the boarding fare.

Further, when a user who does not have the card C participates, the passage of the user is detected by the human detection sensor 4, and the number of the persons is the display device 5 in the crew room a ', as described above. Is displayed, the crew member can surely grasp the user who does not have the card C, and thus can surely receive the boarding charge.

Now, at an unmanned station (station B or station D),
The door D opened by the user holding the card C
When getting on or off the train a from 1, D2 or D3, D4, the card C is held by holding it over the antenna 2a portion of the main body 1 (Yes at S104). In this case, when the communication between the card and the main body 1 is successfully completed, a blue lamp (not shown) provided on the main body 1 is turned on, and when the communication is an error, a red lamp (not shown) is turned on. The re-communication is guided by a speaker (not shown).

When the entrance station code is included in the data obtained from the card C in the controller 3 of the main body 1 (S11
0 affirmative), it is assumed that the user who owns the card C gets off, and the predetermined amount of money corresponding to the boarding fare is reduced from the amount data of the card C and the amount data of the new amount of money is stored in the card C. The station data is written in the memory M as well as in the memory M (S114, S11).
6). In this way, at the unmanned station, it is possible to automatically and efficiently collect the fare regardless of the crew.

When there is no entrance station code in the data obtained from the card C (No in S110), it is assumed that the user carrying the card C gets on board and the entrance station code is stored in the memory M of the card C. It is written (S112). Therefore, when a user who has specified the card C participates in an unmanned station or a manned station, participation processing such as fee collection is performed based on the entrance station data.
