The data is written to the IC card via the card reader / writer 13 (step 58). Finally, the IC card information including the reservation data 33, the check-in place / date and time 45, the card number 31, and the PNR 32 is stored in the boarding procedure file 12. If the reservation file 11 and the boarding procedure file 12 are each managed by a file server, the IC card information already registered in the reservation file 11 is transferred between the servers, and only the data input or determined at the time of check-in is transferred. It is possible to transfer the check-in processing unit 3 to the server of the boarding procedure file 12.
If there is no PNR 32 on the IC card, data input by the passenger and writing to the IC card are required.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the processing of the baggage custody processing unit 4. When there is an input from a terminal (not shown) indicating that there is checked baggage (step 6)
1), the baggage custody processing unit 4 is an IC card reader / writer 1
3, the card number 31, boarding data 34 and check-in place / date and time 45 on the IC card are read (step 62), and it is checked whether the check-in has been completed and the boarding data 34 is valid (step 62). 63).
If it is appropriate, the tag number of the ID tag is generated, and the ID tag for recording this tag number is output to the ID tag issuing machine 16 (step 64). Next, the IC card reader / writer 13
The checked baggage data 41 including the tag number 42 is written to the IC card via the PC (step 65), and the tag number 42 is included in the IC card information with reference to the boarding procedure file 12.
Is written in the checked baggage data 41 (step 6)
6). The PNR 32 on the IC card may be read and used as a key item when the boarding procedure file 12 is searched. In step 63, the boarding data 34 on the IC card
May be checked instead of checking the boarding data 34 on the boarding procedure file 12, or the boarding data 34 of both may be checked.

Conventionally, when issuing a checked baggage tag, a staff member has visually checked the contents of the passenger's air ticket, so that a sufficient check could not be performed. The baggage custody processing unit 4 according to the present embodiment reads and checks the boarding data 34 recorded on the IC card in a non-contact manner, so that there is no need for a staff member to confirm the boarding data. An ID tag can be issued based on the ID tag.

Next, the inspection result storage unit 7 reads the passenger's IC card via the IC card reader / writer 13 and
A photograph of the face of the occupant himself / herself when passing through the inspection gate 21 is taken by the camera 22, and an X-ray photograph of the baggage is taken by the X-ray inspection device 23. Next, the PNR 32, boarding data 34 and checked baggage data 41 on the IC card
And the inspection information are stored in the storage file 24 in association with each other.
If the inspection result storage unit 7 is connected to the boarding procedure file 12, the passage gate number, the passage date and time, and the baggage inspection data are stored on the boarding procedure file 12 and the IC card.
It is possible to record the reference number and the like and refer to it later.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of information displayed on the inspection terminal 19. One person's PNR3 on one display screen

4 can be confirmed.

Conventionally, when carrying out baggage inspection, the attendant merely looks at the contents of the passenger's air ticket, cannot perform detailed confirmation, and does not leave any record when passing through the inspection gate. The inspection result storage unit 7 of the present embodiment stores the passenger P
Since the NR 32, the boarding data 34, and the like are displayed on the display screen together with the photograph of the person himself / herself, detailed confirmation can be made by the attendant. Also, the saved file 24 contains the passenger's PN
Since the photograph of the person's face and the baggage X-ray are stored together with the R32, the boarding data 34 and the checked baggage data 41,
In the event that a hijack or the like occurs, identity verification becomes easy, and security can be improved. Although it is possible to read the contents of a conventional ticket through a contact reader, it is necessary for the user to insert the ticket himself into the reader,
Although it is difficult to do so because it imposes a burden on the user, it is possible to read information recorded on the IC card without imposing a burden on the user by using a non-contact IC card.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the processing of the passenger location tracking section 5. The passenger location tracking unit 5
Every time the passenger passes one of the plurality of passing points provided in the airport, the card number 31 of the IC card carried by the passenger is read via the IC card reader / writer 13 (step 71), and the IC card is read. The location code of the passing point and the passing time are written in the passing point location / date and time 46 of the passenger tracking data 44 (Step 72).
The boarding procedure file 12 is searched and the same passing point information is written in the passing point location / date and time 46 of the IC card information (step 73). The PNR on the IC card
32 may be used as a key item when the boarding procedure file 12 is searched.

When the boarding time is approaching, the passenger location tracking unit 5 searches the boarding data 34 of the boarding procedure file 12 to find the corresponding IC card information,
The check-in IC card information recorded at the date and time 45 is extracted (step 75). If the boarding has not been performed with reference to the boarding gate location / date / time 47 of the extracted IC card information (step 76 NO), the passing point location / date / time 46 is acquired (step 77), and processing and illustration according to the passing point are performed. Display on terminals that do not (step 7)
8). The processing of steps 76 to 78 is repeated for all the extracted corresponding IC card information.

According to the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not to call a non-passenger based on the passing point that the passenger has recently passed. In the past, people who checked in with security considerations and checked in their baggage had to be called to call a user who was not boarding after check-in because it was necessary to get on board. There is no need to call the waiting person who comes before the ticket gate. Also, it is possible to determine whether or not to call in consideration of the time required for the passenger to travel from the passing point to the departure gate, eliminating the need to search for a user who is not at the airport.

When the passenger stands in front of the boarding guide terminal 25,
The IC card reader / writer 13 connected to the boarding guide terminal 25 reads the boarding data 34 and the like from the passenger's IC card and inputs the boarding data 34 and the like to the boarding guide unit 8. The boarding guide unit 8 determines the route from the current position of the passenger on which the boarding guide terminal 25 is installed to the departure gate 36, creates a map showing the route to the departure gate, and displays the map on the boarding guide terminal 25. Display above. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen of the boarding guide terminal 25 that displays such a boarding guide map. Furthermore, displaying the remaining time until the boarding deadline, the time required to the departure gate, and the like can contribute to the scheduled departure and assist the passenger.

The boarding gate processing section 6 reads the card number 31 and boarding data 34 on the IC card via the IC card reader / writer 13 connected to the automatic ticket gate 17 and
The boarding procedure file 12 is searched using the card number 31 as a key, and the boarding data is compared with the read boarding data 34 to determine whether boarding is possible. If both the boarding data 34 match and the departure gate 36 is correct, the boarding is permitted, and the boarding ticket information is recorded in the boarding gate location / date and time 47 of the IC card and the corresponding IC card information on the boarding procedure file 12. If boarding is not possible, a warning is given to the occupant and the attendant, such as displaying information indicating that boarding is impossible on the display device of the automatic ticket gate 17 and notifying by voice. The PNR 32 on the IC card may be read and used as a key item when the boarding procedure file 12 is searched.

When the boarding time approaches or passes, the boarding system 20 searches the boarding procedure file 12 and records in the checked baggage data 41 in the IC card information having the corresponding boarding data 34. IC card information not recorded at the boarding gate location / date and time 47 can be extracted. By reading the ID tag attached to the baggage when sorting the checked baggage, the tag number 42
The key can be used to stop loading the baggage of the passenger who does not board and leaves the baggage on the aircraft. Conventionally, since the ticket does not have the information of the tag number 42 of the checked baggage data 41, when there is a user who leaves the baggage but does not board, it takes time to search for the baggage, and the departure of the airline may be delayed. there were. According to the present invention, the checked baggage can be easily collated with the IC card information of a non-boarding user based on the tag number 42, and the delay of departure of the airline due to such circumstances can be prevented, and the security can be improved. be able to.

The baggage delivery section 9 stores the tag number 42 read via the IC card reader / writer 13 and the ID reader 2
The tag number of the ID tag read through 6 is collated with the tag number to determine whether or not the baggage can be delivered. If the baggage cannot be delivered, a display or sound notification is performed. Conventionally, it was necessary for an attendant to check the checked baggage tag and the stub of the user, but according to the present invention, the user simply passes the checked baggage through the checking gate and checks the tag number of the ID tag and the IC card. The tag number 42 in the baggage can be collated, and the baggage delivery operation can be made more efficient.

In the above embodiment, the passenger tracking data 44 is recorded in the boarding procedure file 12 and also on the IC card. However, as will be understood from the above description, the passenger tracking data 44 is recorded only in the boarding procedure file 12. The present invention can also be practiced.

[0033]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to manage and guide the user's movement in the airport by using the non-contact type IC card, so that the user is not burdened. Flow can be smoothed, and the boarding time can be shortened. Further, since the passenger and the baggage can be recorded using the same IC card, security can be improved.
