Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to commuter passes used when riding trains, subways, buses, etc.; Ticket issuing method KIll.

Traditionally, the process of issuing a commuter pass was for the applicant to fill in the prescribed information on an application form and apply at the issuance counter, and then the staff member would fill in the necessary information on the commuter pass form based on the information entered on the application form and stamp it. They issued commuter passes in exchange for fares.

In addition, even if you want to continue issuing a commuter pass with the same contents after the expiry date, or if you want to change and issue a commuter pass because there are changes to some parts of the commuter pass, we will issue a new one. Just like when issuing a new ticket, you had to fill out the required information on the application form and go through the necessary procedures at the counter.

However, when issuing a new commuter pass based on this continuation and change, there were very few changes or corrections, and most of the information entered on the previously used commuter pass could be shared. For this reason, the applicant has to fill out the application form each time the same information is continued or changed, and the staff member has to write or stamp on the commuter pass form each time. However, it is troublesome for both the user and the issuer.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a magnetic stripe on a part of the commuter pass, stores necessary information on the magnetic stripe when a new ticket is issued, and when continuing or changing the pass, the necessary information is stored in the magnetic stripe.
A digital device that can be shared, except for the matters to be corrected, can read the information stored on the magnetic stripe, providing a method of issuing commuter passes that can reduce the burden on users and issuers when issuing commuter passes. be.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The commuter pass issuance device in this embodiment is capable of (1) new issuance work and (2) continued/frugal issuance work, and continuous issuance and change issuance work is for commuter passes for which new issuance work has been performed. This can only be done for

(1) New issuance business New issuance is the issue of commuter passes to people who are using the railway, bus, etc. route for the first time, and no data regarding the user has been given to the issuer. It starts with the state.

First, the applicant (commuter pass user) fills in his/her name, address, ride section, and other information on a commuter pass application form in a prescribed format and hands it to the counter staff (same as conventional work). The staff member uses the data input device 1 to input the information filled in on this application form. That is, using the input keyboard 7 and numeric keypad 8, input data sequentially in a menu format with key touches,
This data is displayed on the cathode ray tube 6 in kanji/kana mixed υ sentences, and corrections and corrections to the data can be made on the cathode ray tube 6 by operating the input keyboard 7, and the data is stored in the RAM 1.
8 is temporarily stored. When all the items on the application form have been entered, the board 7 inputs the command ``end data input'' and the printer 21 in the printing device 3 operates according to the program in the ROM 19 to input the data. Based on the data, the necessary information for issuing a commuter pass can be printed on the surface of the commuter pass form 9, and at the same time, the printed data can be supplied to the external storage device 20 along with the date and time to be stored and used for storage. can. As shown in FIG. 3, the printing on the commuter pass paper 90 can be printed simultaneously on either one commuter pass piece 27 or the backing piece 28. can be printed in large letters in Chinese characters, and other data can be printed in lowercase letters, and the same data used to print the commuter pass piece 27 is printed on the backing piece 28 using a code.

After printing, the commuter pass paper 9 is separated along the line 2526, the commuter pass piece 27 and the backing piece 28 are separated and independent, and the backing piece 28d is stored. Since no data is stored in the magnetic stripe 29 of the commuter pass piece 27, the commuter pass piece 27 is inserted into the card reader 10 so that the magnetic stripe 29 contacts the head of the card reader 10, and the RAM
Data regarding the commuter pass piece 27 stored in 18 (
(same as that printed on the surface of the commuter pass piece 270). Since the reading head is also stored in this card league IO, immediately after writing, the data is compared and verified to see if the data has been written correctly.If the verification is correct, the data cannot be written. If the data is incorrect, a buzzer will sound and the stored data will be transmitted again], and the data will be displayed on the screen of the cathode ray tube 11, so the staff member can check the commuter pass 270 and the cathode ray. Magnetic encoding can be performed by comparing the screens of the tube 11 and determining whether the contents are the same.

Printing form of separated commuter pass piece 27 and magnetic stripe 2
9 encoded data format is shown in FIG. The data format is encoded in the direction of the arrow in the figure, in the order of ``5TXJ'', ``Engraving'', ``Customer Data'', ``Entanglement Code'', ``Travel Section Code'', and ``5TXJ''.
``Via Boodo'', ``Issue F3;-do'', [Expiration Code J
, r8UMJ.

"ETXJ" is written in the area and. This area indicates the starting end of the r8TXJa insertion direction. This indicates the order in which 27 was issued, and the arithmetic control circuit 1
The counter in 7 is automatically shifted. "Customer data" (G in the diagram) is information about the user of the commuter pass piece 27.
The name is 1 year old, the gender is a mixture of kanji), and υ is memorized by the sentence ``route;-do'' (C in the diagram). )K has a combination of boarding and alighting stations stored in code. "
"Transit code" (DIC in the figure is the name of the station you will pass through when boarding using the commuter pass piece 27), and "Issuance date code" (F in the figure) is the date on which the commuter pass piece 27 was issued. However, the "expiration code" (E in the figure) K stores the last date on which the commuter pass piece 27 can be used.In addition, for j8UMJK, the total value of the data in the above area is "[TXJK
A code indicating the end in the insertion direction is stored.

As mentioned above, when the boarding section and validity period are entered using the input keyboard 7, the fare can be immediately calculated using the ROM 19 and the arithmetic control circuit 17, and the amount is displayed on the cathode ray tube 11. The user is billed for the amount and is given the magnetically encoded commuter pass piece 27 in exchange for cash, and the new regular issuance process is completed.

The flow of this new commuter pass issuing operation is shown in the flowchart of FIG.

(2) Continuation/Change Issuance Business Commuter ticket pieces 27 that have been used within the validity period will become invalid after the validity period has passed, so in order to continue using a new commuter pass piece 27 with the same content and a revised usage period again. If I issue it and it doesn't work, I'll have to worry about it. Also, if you change the riding section and commuter pass piece 27
Similarly, when using , commuter pass piece 2 that was previously used
7, and after payment, a new commuter pass piece 27 must be issued. In each of the continuous issuance and change issuance operations, a new commuter pass piece z7 can be quickly issued using the information stored in the magnetic stripe 29 described above.

A user who wants to be issued a new commuter pass piece 27 due to continuation or change hands over the old commuter pass piece 27 that he or she has been using and an application form filled with prescribed information to the staff at the counter.

First, the clerk receives the old commuter pass piece 27, inserts the old commuter pass piece 27 into the card reader 10, and reads the data stored on the magnetic stripe 29 of the old commuter pass piece 27. The read data is transmitted to the arithmetic control circuit 17 and RAM 18 via the sub-control circuit 23° interface 24, and at the same time, this data is displayed on the cathode ray tube 11. Next, the staff member operates the full keyboard 12 and inputs only the items for continuation (or change) written on the application form for continuation (or change) using the full keyboard 12. Continuation (Change) Data regarding commuter passes partially corrected by K is shown in cathode ray tube 11.
The corrected data can be displayed and confirmed, and the corrected data is stored in the RAM 184C via the arithmetic control circuit 17. Since the magnetic stripe 29 of the old commuter pass piece 27 stores the same data as that printed on the surface of the commuter pass piece 27, this data can be used to read the data of the new commuter pass piece 27. It's easy to create. That is, in the case of continued issuance, it can be used for a new commuter pass piece 27 by correcting only the "issue date code" and "expiration code", and in the case of change issuance, the "boarding section code",
It can be used for a new commuter pass piece 27 by modifying only the changed part such as the "transit code".

Once the data has been corrected or corrected, press the "End data" key on the full keyboard 12 and press "Start printing".
key is pressed to operate the printer 21 of the printing device 3 to print new data on the commuter pass paper 9.

The new commuter pass paper 9 is printed on the commuter pass piece 27 and the backing piece 28 at the same time in the format shown in FIG. 3 described above.

Commuter pass paper 9 printed with new data has perforation 25
．． 26, the commuter pass piece 27 and the retainer piece 28 are separated and independent, and the new commuter pass piece 27 (on which information about continuation or change is printed) is inserted into the card reader 10 and stored in the RAM 18. The same data as the printed content 2 of the commuter pass piece 27 is written on the magnetic stripe 29. If the writing is inaccurate, verification is performed within the magnetic processing/accounting device 4 in the same manner as described above to ensure that the writing is performed reliably.

When the new commuter pass piece 27 is inserted into the card reader IOK, the cathode ray tube 11 displays the fare (or the amount of fare adjustment due to the change) that continues the new commuter pass piece 27, and the displayed amount of cash and the new commuter pass piece 27 are displayed. is exchanged, and the issuance work due to binding and changes is completed.

The flow of work in this continuation Q change issue work is shown in the flowchart of FIG.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, most of the data stored in the old commuter pass can be used when issuing a new commuter pass that has been partially corrected or corrected due to continuation or change. , it is only necessary to correct or modify only the necessary matters, which simplifies the procedures for both the user and the issuer, and allows one issue to be completed quickly.
