Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Technical Field of the Invention> The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate device 6 that is applied and implemented, for example, at a railway station. For group customers, the automatic ticket gate device 6 is used.

<Background of the Invention> In recent years, in order to streamline operations at stations, etc., automation of ticket gate processing has been progressing. However, the conventional automatic ticket gate system is only for general boarding and alighting passengers, and for group kotos in particular, a manned single ticket gate is used, and a staff member counts the number of people while the previous ticket gate processing is carried out. I was going. As a result, the rationalization of station operations has been hampered, and the burden on staff has increased with each group of passengers. There were also numerous problems, such as when general passengers used the manned ticket gate "I" mixed with group passengers, the number of people in the group was incorrectly counted, which caused trouble.

〈The first man from the station, Medomarie〉 The present invention aims to save labor and improve efficiency in station operations by proposing a new department that targets group passengers as well at the automatic ticket gate J411. The purpose is to

<Structure and Effects of the Invention> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a system in which the group ticket code set for each group corresponds to the main ticket recorded and the same group ticket code corresponds to the number of group members recorded. Use the sub-slip for the number of tickets as a group ticket, first read and register the group ticket code written on the main light (,1゛), and then read the group ticket code from the sub-slip distributed to each group customer. The validity of the sub-ticket is determined by checking the information registered earlier.

According to the present invention, the automatic ticket gate operation 11) for group passengers can be realized, promoting the rationalization of station operations, etc., and contributing to the reduction of self-injury of staff and the efficiency of ticket gate processing.

Also, depending on the group passenger code, there are group passengers, general boarding passengers, and IF.
Since the invention is easily identified, it is possible to prevent problems such as mistakes in the number of people in the group, thereby achieving the remarkable effect of achieving the purpose of the invention.

<Description of Embodiments> FIGS. 1 and 2 show an automatic ticket gate device 6 according to the present invention.
．． 3 and 4 show the automatic ticket gate operation of this example device. This automatic ticket gate has a well-known structure in which passengers holding valid tickets are allowed to pass through by opening the passage gate. A group ticket is used, consisting of a ticket and sub-tickets for the number of people in the group.

A group ticket code set for each group is magnetically recorded on these main lights and sub lights, and in the case of this embodiment, these group tickets are issued by an automatic ticket issuing machine to be described later.

The automatic ticket gate shown in Figure 1 reads various information recorded on general tickets and group tickets. 1) a valid ticket identification unit 2 that identifies the validity of the ticket based on the read information in 11; and a valid ticket identification unit that identifies the group ticket code read from the main light of the group ticket. 4'71 'liJ at valid ticket identification section 2 gates the identification Yugo! ,! It is output to the ilK moving part to control the opening and closing of the passage gate.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the group valid ticket identification system 1S3.

The registration section 8 in the figure is used to store information read from the main light, and is provided with a plurality of group ticket code storage sections 6 and group number storage sections 7. The control unit 9 also controls operations such as information infiltration and deletion in the registration unit 8. Historically, the register JO is used to set the group ticket code that has been removed from the sub-ticket, and the comparison check unit 11
The group ticket code set in the register 10 is sent to the registration section 8.
The group ticket code registered in The display board 12 is for displaying the registered group ticket code and the number of people in the group who have not exited the ticket gate (hereinafter referred to as the "remaining number of people"), and serves as a guide for each group. The organizer of the tour and the tour operator of the travel group read the displayed contents and understand the ticket gate status of the group.

In this way, Group +: I↑ Elementary purchases a group ticket from the automatic ticket vending machine described below, holds the main light for themselves, and the sub-votes are given to each group member. First, when the group manager 1f sets the main light to the ticket type input section of the automatic ticket gate, the magnetic information reading section 1 reads the group ticket code and the number of people in the group from the main light, and then selects the main light for that ticket or group ticket. Whether or not is checked (Chapter:
Step 3 in Figure 3], 32). If the judgment in step 32 is "yJ>s'", the process proceeds to step 33, where the group ticket processing command unit 4 transfers the group ticket code, the number of people in the group, or the group valid ticket identification; ;1≦;3; Control unit 9
stores this information in the AIS 8. At the same time, the group ticket processing command section 4 activates the time system section 5 in step 34, and as a result, the time system section 5 handles group handling 11.1' between 11 and 11? Start l'IL'J and wait at the ticket gate of the person holding the counter ticket.

Now, when the group machine sets the subticket to the ticket type entry section of the automatic ticket gate operation ig;, the magnetic + i'I signal 1jjj, take) (Step 41 in FIG. 4). Next, in step 42, it is determined whether the set ticket is a sub-ticket or not, and when the determination is "Y Ii S", step 4
3, the group ticket code for which 1≦11 is set in the register 10 is compared with the registered group ticket code for which 1≦11 is set in the register 10. If the codes match, the judgment in step 44 becomes ==YJ', S'', and in step 45, ticket gate processing such as opening the passage gate and returning sub-j% is executed, and the next step is At step 46, the number of groups registered in the registration section 8 (remaining number) is reduced by 1, 11.

On the other hand, the judgment of "Does it match?" in step 44 is "NO".
”, proceed to step 47, close the passage gate, γ
Invalidation processing such as child stock operation is performed.

In this way, when the number of remaining members becomes zero, or when the time section 5 times up, the determination at step 35 or step 36 becomes "Y Ia S", and at this stage, the group JIY processing is terminated, The group squid code registered in the registration section 8 is deleted.

In addition, if it is determined in step 32 of FIG. 3 that the set ticket is a ticket other than a raw potato (for example, a sub-ticket or a general ticket), or in step 42 of FIG. 4,
If it is determined that the ticket is a ticket other than a set ticket or a sub-ticket (for example, a main ticket or a general ticket), the process moves to step 38 or step 48, and ticket gate processing is performed according to the content of the determined ticket. or is executed.

Figures 5 and 6 show an automatic ticket issuing machine that issues main and sub-tickets for group tickets.

In the figure, the group ticket mode selection button 13 specifies the group ticket purchase process, and the number of people input keychain 14 and group type input keychain 15 are used to manually input information necessary for purchasing group tickets, such as the number of people in the group. It is. The sub-control unit 16 executes a series of processes and controls 611j related to group ticket issuance, such as calculation of group fares, generation of magnetic recording and print data on the main ticket, and control operations for issuing sub-tickets. The transfer control gate 17 transfers information such as boarding sections and route connections inputted from the ticket 111'+- input processing section to the sub-control section 16, and the other transfer control gates 19 transfer information such as boarding sections and route connections input from the input/input processing section of the ticket 111'+- to the sub-control section 16. For ticket issue 731≦20, print data on the main slip is transferred.

Furthermore, the sub-ticket issuing unit 2J separately stores sub-tickets in groups corresponding to the maximum number of tickets issued in one day, and when a group ticket is sold, counts and releases the necessary number of sub-tickets from any one group. 6th
The figure shows an example of the structure of the sub-slip issuing unit 21, in which a large number of sub-slips 23 are stored in a stacked state in each cassette 22 of a number of stages corresponding to the number of sets.
