Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Object of the Invention This invention relates to a reservation information management system, and in particular to a reservation method that automatically deducts or resends predetermined reservation information from a reservation file of a solid device when a ticket is not issued normally. This relates to information management methods.

Conventional technology and its problems In conventional seat reservation terminal devices, a management number is printed for each issued ticket, and if ticket printing is not completed normally,
By manually inputting the management number printed on the final ticket that was successfully completed, the reservation information was deducted from the reservation file of the solid device and the ticket was remanufactured.

This causes the following problems.

(a) Since the control number is entered manually, there is a high possibility of input errors and there is a possibility of duplicate sales.

(b) Since the ticket will be given to the purchaser, it is necessary to keep a journal for your records.

Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to provide a reservation information management method that can be used without manually inputting a management number. .

Summary of the Invention This invention is characterized by updating the contents of the management number storage device with the management number sent from the solid device only when a ticket is normally issued, in order to do this without manually inputting the management number. .

If a ticket is not issued normally, the management number has not been updated, so if you include this management number in the information sent to the solid device when you press the deduction or remanufacturing button, the solid device will know which ticket From this, it can be determined whether subsequent reservation information should be deducted or retransmitted.

As a configuration of the present invention, a solid device is provided with a storage unit that stores management information to be transmitted, and a comparison unit that compares the management information in this storage unit with management information transmitted from a terminal device. a generator that generates a reservation operation signal to the device;
A management information storage unit that stores management information transmitted from the solid device when the output processing state is normally performed, and a transmission message is created from the operation signal of the generation unit and the management information of the management information storage unit. and a transmission message creation section.

Here, when the comparison result in the comparison unit does not match the management information, the solid device performs a process of deducting predetermined reservation information, and also stores the management information from the previous reservation in the storage unit. It is something to do.

Embodiments of the Invention Structure of an Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and is a block diagram of a seat reservation system that transfers data between a solid device 1 and terminal devices 8, 15, and 16. It is.

The management number added to the request information of one message from the terminal device 8 is stored.

The terminal device 8 includes a reception storage section 9, which is composed of a reception circuit and a storage section that temporarily stores output data in reply information of one message and a management number. Printer output unit 10 which automatically cuts and feeds the printing paper after the printing operation 1 transmitted from the solid device 1
A control circuit 12 for checking transmission/reception operations and input/output operations. Transmission unit 13. Input section 14. A reservation instruction button 17 that sends a predetermined signal to this input section. A deduction instruction button 18 or a remanufacturing instruction button 19 is provided.

Note that the solid device 1 has a reservation file 20. It has a transmission memory 21 and a terminal status file 22.

Here, the management number plays a role as management information of the present invention, and the input section 14 and the reservation instruction button 17 and the deduction instruction button 18
Alternatively, the remanufacturing instruction button 19 constitutes a generating section that generates an operation type signal.

Further, the transmitting unit 13 and the control circuit 12 function as a transmission message creating unit, and the request information (a-1) in FIG.

(a-2) or (a-3) is created.

The transmission data line L1 from the transmission circuit 13 of the terminal device 8 is connected to the reception circuit 6 of the solid device 1, and the reception data line L2 from the transmission circuit 2 of the solid device 1 is connected to the reception circuit 9 of the terminal device 8. It is connected to the.

A plurality of terminal devices such as terminal devices 15 and 16 are further connected to the solid device 1 in a similar connection relationship.

Operation of this embodiment The operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 (flowcharts).

When making a reservation, the reservation button 17 is first pressed.

As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, the input unit 14 determines the contents of the button instruction, and in the case of reservation, creates input data and adds an operation type signal corresponding to the button contents.

Next, this signal is sent to the transmitting section 13, where the contents of the signal in the management number storage section 11 are added, and the message shown in FIG. 2 (a-1) is created as request information.

At the time of reservation, the terminal device 8 with terminal number 002 sends a request to the solid device 1 with the storage contents of the management number storage unit 11 and a reservation signal added as shown in the request information configuration table of FIG. 2 (a-1). When the information is transmitted from the transmitting circuit 13, the solid device 1 receives it through the receiving circuit 6 and detects the operation type in the request information (reservation in this case) detected by the operation type detection unit 7. The management number is written into the memory 5, and the stored contents are compared with the stored contents of the update memory 3. If they match, preparations are made to send response information to the input data in the request information.

In this case, the solid device 1 rewrites and stores the contents of the update memory 3 into an updated management number (for example, this will be explained as 's 1//) corresponding to the management number of the request information of the terminal number 002. , this stored content is added to the response information as shown in the response information configuration table of FIG. 2(b) and transmitted to the terminal device 8.

In the terminal device 8, the reception storage unit 9 receives the reply information, and the content of the output data in the reply information E seat and the management number 's
1n is temporarily stored, and the control circuit 12 receives the control code rsTX; ETX, BCC, and j code in the response information, performs vertical and horizontal parity checks, and confirms that the reception operation was performed correctly. The transmitting unit 13 notifies the actual device 1 that the correct reception operation has been performed.
, and one data communication with the solid device 1 is terminated.

Next, in the terminal device 8, under the control of the control circuit 12, the contents E of the output data among the stored contents temporarily stored in the reception storage section 9 are printed out to the printer output section 10.

When the control circuit 12 confirms that the printing operation has been performed correctly and that the printing paper has been cut and fed automatically and correctly, the reception storage unit 9 receives the signal from the control circuit 12 and confirms that the output operation has been performed correctly. It is assumed that the process has been completed, and the management number 1 temporarily stored in the reception storage section 9 is written into the management number storage section 11.

On the other hand, if the output operation is not completed correctly, for example, if the printing operation is not performed correctly, or if the printing paper is not cut or fed correctly automatically, this can be confirmed by the control circuit 12. , the reception storage section 9 considers that the output operation has not been completed correctly, and does not write the management number "1" temporarily stored in the reception storage section 9 into the management number storage section 11.

Therefore, if the response information sent from the solid device 1 last time is correctly output to the printer output unit 10 in the management number storage unit 11, the management number at that time (the management number at the time of the previous reservation), e.g. If this is explained as O'', this 110'' remains written.

Thereafter, when the terminal device 8 needs to send request information to the solid device 1, if the reception operation and output operation were completed correctly in the previous data communication with the solid device 1, the management number storage unit The request information is sent to the solid device 1 by adding a management number "1" written in the storage content 11 and a management number "O" if the request information has not been completed correctly.

In the solid device 1, the management number "1" is received through the receiving circuit 6 and is the storage content of the management number storage unit 11 in the request information.
``or 0'' is written to the memory 5.

When the management number "1" or "0" of the terminal number 002 is written to the memory 5, this memory content and the previous solid device 1
The management number in the reply information sent to the terminal device 8 is compared with the stored contents of the update memory 3 to determine whether they match.

In this case, if the output operation has been completed correctly, the stored contents of the memory 5 and the update memory 3 are both ゞ1'' and match, and the output in the answer information sent from the solid device 1 to the terminal device 8 last time is The solid device 1 determines that the printer output unit 10 has correctly completed the output operation of the data E, and updates the memory contents of the update memory 3 to the management number "2" for adding reply information to be newly transmitted this time. At the same time, it is added to the response information and transmitted from the transmission circuit 2 of the solid device 1 to the reception storage section 9 of the terminal device 8.

Further, if the output operation is not completed correctly, it is necessary to cancel the output data E in the reply information transmitted from the solid device 1 to the terminal device 8.

Therefore, when the deduction instruction button 18 of the terminal device 8 is pressed, the "STX; deduction code; management number; ET" shown in FIG. 2 (a-2) is pressed.
Request information “X; BBC” is created.

In this case, a deduction code is added in the input section 14, and a management number of storage content 110'' written in the management number storage section 11 is added to the request information.

This request information is sent to the solid device 1.

In the solid device 1, the operation type detection unit 7 detects that it is a deduction.

The memory content written to memory 5 is O, and the memory content of memory 5 and update memory 3 are ``0'' and 1'', which do not match.
Output data E sent from the solid device 1 to the terminal device 8 last time
Since the output operation of the seat has not been completed correctly in the printer output section 10, it is determined that this seat should be canceled, and as shown by the subtraction in the flowchart of FIG. The content is set to 0'' to match the content of the management number storage unit 11 of the terminal device 8.

Output data E in the response information sent again from the solid device 1 to the terminal device 8 because the output operation was not completed correctly
To remanufacture the seat, the remanufacture instruction button 19 on the terminal device 8 is pressed.

Therefore, as shown in the request information configuration table of FIG. 2 (a3), a reproduction code is added in the input section 14, and
The storage contents written in 1 'S □ A management number # is added to the request information, and the request information is transmitted to the solid device 1 .

In the solid device 1, the operation type detection unit 7 detects that it is a remanufactured product, and the memory content "0" written in the memory 5 matches the updated memory 3, and the terminal device 8 is changed from the previous solid device 1.
Since the output data E seat sent to the printer output unit 10 did not complete the output operation correctly, it is determined that the output data E seat was requested again, and from the reservation file 20, the next management number "1" after the management number "O" is sent. The output data E of `` is read out, the management number of the update memory is rewritten to 1'', and the data is sent from the solid device 1 to the terminal device 8 again.

Note that if there is no need to detect the operation types of reservation and remanufacturing, one button can be used for both reservation and remanufacturing.

In addition, if the comparison result of the management number comparison unit 4 does not match, the reservation details are automatically deducted and the contents of the update memory 3 are written down to the management number (same management number as the request information) for the previous reservation. , the deduction button can also be used as the reservation button.

In this case, the operation type detection section 7 of the solid device becomes unnecessary.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that one ticket is issued for a -reservation, but even when multiple tickets are issued, the same management is possible since a management number is attached to each seat in the reservation output data.

That is, the management number reception storage section 9 in the terminal device 8
Writing to the management number storage unit 11 is performed after the control circuit 12 confirms that cutting and feeding of the sheets have been automatically and correctly performed. In this case, the management number of the last volume up to the correct completion is stored in the management number storage unit 11. Therefore, in the case of a deduction or remanufacturing instruction, the solid device 1 updates the contents of the memory 5. The contents of the memory 3 are compared, and the contents of the update memory 3 are subtracted or reproduced from the next management number of the contents of the memory 5.

In addition, in each of the above operation types, if the comparison result in the management number comparison unit 4 and the instruction content of the operation type do not logically match, that is, the comparison does not match in reservation and remanufacturing, and in deduction If the comparison matches or the contents of memory 5 are more dog than the contents of update memory 3, in the case of a reservation, it is treated as a deduction, and in the case of reproduction/deduction, it is ignored or the terminal device 8 is However, there are other ways to do so, such as reporting that the instructions are inappropriate.

Effects of the Invention Since the structure is as described above, the following effects can be obtained in the present invention.

(a) Since the management number is stored in the storage device within the terminal device, no manual input is required, eliminating human error and eliminating the possibility of double sales.

(b) A journal for recording management numbers is no longer required, reducing paper waste.
