Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a system for connecting railway lines that are operated by different management entities, so that it is possible to board a connecting train to the second railway after exiting the ticket inspection passage of the first railway and passing through the ticket inspection passage of the second railway. The present invention relates to an automatic ticket inspection method and device for connecting tickets, and particularly relates to an automatic ticket inspection method and device at connecting stations where the ticket gate passages for the company's own line and the ticket gates for other companies' lines are separate.

In automatic ticket inspection machines for railways, the entrance inspection machine (ticket gate) generally has the station code of the departure station encoded in the own line track of the ticket that corresponds to the station code of the station where the ticket gate is installed. The ticket is configured to check whether the ticket matches the station code and whether there is an entrance code, and determine that the ticket is valid if the station code matches and there is no entrance code; In addition, ticket inspection machines (ticket collectors) for hot springs generally determine the validity or invalidity of the ticket based on the station code and section number code encoded in the company's own line truck or other company's line truck, and then determine the validity or invalidity of the ticket. It is configured to collect tickets for which it has been determined that the station where the ticket machine is installed is within the valid section.

Therefore, if you use a connecting ticket that allows you to take a connecting train from a station on the 1st railway line to a station on the 2nd railway line, you can exit the ticket gate of the 1st railway at the connecting station and board the connecting train to the 2nd railway. When doing so, if the connecting ticket is inserted into the hot spring ticket machine at the connecting station (for example, the ticket collecting machine on the first railway side), the connecting ticket will be collected as is, so the holder of the connecting ticket will be There is no choice but to use the manned ticket inspection passageway to access the hot springs, and when boarding the second railway, the connecting ticket must be passed through the admission ticket machine (in this example,
When the ticket is inserted into the ticket gate on the 2nd railway line, the ticket is judged to have been used fraudulently, as the ticket has already been stamped with an entry code and has already been used when entering the boarding station on the 1st railway line. In this case as well, I had no choice but to use the manned ticket inspection aisle.
For this reason, at connecting stations where the ticket inspection aisles for our company's line and the ticket inspection aisles for other companies' lines are separate, in order to automate the processing of each ticket ticket machine for entering and exiting hot springs, it is necessary to A total of two tickets were required: one and a ticket for riding on the second railway line.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and allows the holder of a connecting ticket to proceed without using a manned ticket inspection passageway at a connecting station where each railway is equipped with separate automatic ticket checking machines for entering and exiting hot springs. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic ticket inspection method and device that allows the user to pass through each automatic ticket inspection machine for entering and exiting hot water.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a route map in which three railways A, B, and C, which are managed by different entities, are connected to each other at one station. Station Al,, A2
, A3..., Bl, B2, B3..., Cl,
There are stations C2, C3, etc., among which stations A4,
B3 and Cl serve as connecting stations.

Each station is specified by the station code of the Japan Cybernetics Council by a combination of a line section code indicating the railway line on which the station ζ is included and a station order code indicating the station. In other words, the line section code is Railway A.
is A, . B is B. ．． C is c, and the station order code is 1 for station A1, 2 for A2, 3・゜゜ for station C, 1 for c8, and 2 for station 8.
, B3 is 3..., C1 is 1, C2 is 2, C3 is 3.
...Then, the station code of each station is a● for station A1.
1, ~ is a●2..., eight is b●1, eight is b・2・
..., C1 becomes c・1, C2 becomes c・2, and so on. In addition, according to the regulations of the Japan Cybernetics Council, the ticket has its own line track t1, other company's line track t1, and clock track, etc. If it is a regular ticket, it has the own line track t1, as shown in Figure 2. The station code of the station where you board the truck,
The ward number code that means the fare from that station to the exit station is encoded, and if it is a connecting ticket, the station code of the boarding station and the ward number code to the connecting station are encoded in the own line track t1, and the connecting ticket is encoded. The station code of the connecting station on the other company's line and the section number code from that station to the exit station are encoded on the other company's line track T2. Therefore, in the case of a connecting ticket from station ~ to station C4, if the section number code from station A2 to A4 is x, and the section number code from station C1 to C4 is y, then the station code for station A2 is a. 2 and the section number code X are encoded on the company's line track, and the station code c.1 and the section number code y of the station C1 are recorded on the other company's line track T2. In addition, other information such as the date of issue is also encoded in the stamp of each ticket according to the regulations of the Japan Cybernetics Council.
Explanations regarding these will be omitted. Taking the ticket encoded as above as an example, stations A2, A4, Cl, C
The processing method at the automatic ticket inspection machine in step 4 will be explained. At the entrance ticket machine at the station, the ticket is inserted into the company's own line truck t.
Normal processing is performed based on the information encoded in 1. In other words, whether the station code encoded on the own line truck matches the station code a.2 of station A2 or not, and the entrance code (usually Check whether there is a hole).
If the station codes match and there is no entry code, the ticket is determined to be valid and the ticket inspection passage is opened (allowing the ticket holder to pass), and the ticket is sent to the exit after being stamped with the entry code. However, if the station codes do not match or if there is an entrance code, it is determined to be invalid and processed. The hot spring ticket machine at station A4 performs the normal validity/invalidity judgment based on the information encoded in the ticket's own company's line track (or other company's line track), and also checks whether the ticket is valid or invalid at the connecting station (A ), that is, station codes b.3 and c.1 of stations B3 and C1, is determined whether or not it is encoded in the other company's line track.

If neither station code b.3 nor c.1 is present, the ticket is a regular ticket, and known processing is performed according to the result of the determination of validity/invalidity. That is, if it is valid, the ticket inspection passage is opened and the tickets are collected as is; if invalid, the ticket inspection passage is closed (the ticket holder is not allowed to pass through) and a notification is made to that effect. Further, if any station code is found, the ticket is determined to be a connecting ticket, the ticket inspection passage is opened, the ticket inspection machine is prohibited from collecting tickets, and the ticket is sent to the exit. In this case, the AND of the condition that the determination of validity/invalidity based on the information in the company's line track is valid and the condition that one of the station codes mentioned above is encoded in the other company's line track T2 Depending on the conditions, if it is determined that it is a connecting ticket, a connecting ticket from another company's line to another company's line, for example, a connecting ticket from station B1 to C3, can be determined to be invalid. In this way, the ticket machine for hot springs at the entrance to the station is the second one.
As shown in the figure, when an encoded connecting ticket is inserted, the ticket is delivered to the exit. Next, at the ticket inspection machine for entrance at station C1, if the station code c.1 of the station is encoded in the own line track t1 of the inserted ticket, processing is performed in the same way as the ticket inspection machine at station A2.

However, the station code C/1 is for another company's line truck! If the ticket is encoded within the code, the ticket is determined to be a connecting ticket, and even if an entry code is stamped, the ticket inspection passage is opened without being judged as unauthorized use, and the ticket is taken to the exit. Send. Therefore, the aforementioned connecting ticket is determined to be valid because the station code c.1 is encoded on the other company's line track. Then, the hot spring ticket ticket machine at station C4 makes a known determination based on the information encoded in the company's line truck t1 or the other company's line truck T2, and performs a known process.

Note that although the above description omits the explanation of the determination of other information such as the publication date, in reality, such determination is also made.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of an automatic ticket inspection machine for entering and exiting hot springs installed at connecting stations. Only the circuit portion for determining and processing whether or not this is the case is shown.

In the figure, 10, 11, and 12 are memories, respectively. Memory 10 temporarily stores the station code read from the other company's line track T2 of the inserted ticket, and memory 11 stores the station code of the connecting station on the other company's line. The memory 12 stores the station code of the connecting station on the own line. In other words, if this ticket inspection machine is installed at the station, memory 11
stores the station codes b, 1, c, 1 of stations B3 and Cl of railways B and C, which can connect with railway A at the connecting station (A), as station codes of other companies, and the memory 12 stores station codes a and c. 4 is stored as the company's station code. 13 is memory 10
A determination circuit that determines whether the station codes stored in and 11 match or not, and if they match, it supplies a high-level signal indicating that fact to one input terminal of a two-input AND circuit ANDl.

14 is a determination circuit that determines whether the station codes stored in the memories 10 and 12 match or not; when they match, a high-level signal indicating that fact is sent to the inverter NOT
It is supplied to one input terminal of the 2-input AND circuit AND2 via 1.

FFl is a flip-flop that determines whether the ticket inspection machine operates as an entry or hot water dispenser. It will be reset when

The set output is supplied to the other input terminal of the AND circuit AND2, and the reset output is supplied to the other input terminal of the AND circuit ANDl and one input terminal of the two-input AND circuit AND3. FF2 is a flip-flop that is controlled depending on whether or not there is an admission code in the inserted ticket, and the output signal of a known admission code detector (not shown) is input as is to the set input, and reset is performed. It is inputted via the inverter NOT2. Therefore, this flip-flop FF2 is set when the inserted ticket has an admission code, and is reset when there is no admission code.
The set output terminal of the flip-flop FF2 is connected to one input terminal of a two-input AND circuit AND4, and the reset output terminal is connected to the other input terminal of an AND circuit AND3. The other input terminal of the AND circuit AND4 is connected to the output terminal of the AND circuit AND2, and the output terminal is connected to one input terminal of the OR circuit 0R. The other input terminal of the OR circuit 0R is connected to the output terminal of the AND circuit AND3. If this device is a ticket inspection machine (installed at the station entrance in Figure 1),
Memory 11 stores station codes b.3 and c.1, and memory 12 stores station code c.4.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when an encoded ticket is inserted into the insertion slot on the hot spring side, the encoded station code c.1 is temporarily stored in the memory 10 on the other company's line track of the ticket. Therefore, the output of the determination circuit 13 becomes a high level, and since the flip-flop FFl is reset, the output of the AND circuit ANDl becomes a high level, which means that the inserted ticket is a connecting ticket. The output signal of the AND circuit ANDl at that time prohibits the ticket inspection machine from collecting tickets and sends the ticket to the exit. In this case, since the flip-flop FFl has been reset, the output of the AND circuit AND2 remains at a low level. Additionally, if the inserted ticket has an entry code, the output of the OR circuit 0R will remain at a low level.
Without the entry code, the flip-flop FF2 remains reset, so the output of the AND circuit AND3 goes high, which causes the output of the OR circuit 0R to go high, signifying a hot water entry/exit error. Next, when the connecting ticket from station C4 to A2 in Figure 1 is inserted into the entrance side insertion slot of this ticket inspection machine, the connecting ticket's other company's line track T2 has the station code a. Since the code Become.

Therefore, since the output 1 of the AND circuit AND2 is at a low level and the flip-flop FFl is set, the output of the AND circuit AND3 is also at a low level, and as a result, the output of the OR circuit 0R is also at a low level. . In this way, when the connecting ticket is inserted into the entry-side insertion slot, the determination as to whether or not there is an entry code is valid. As described above, according to the present invention, the hot spring ticket inspection machine determines whether or not the station code of the connecting station of the other company's line where connecting rides are possible is encoded in the other company's line track of the inserted ticket. If so, the ticket is determined to be a connecting ticket and the ticket collection function of the ticket inspection machine is prohibited, so the holder of the connecting ticket must exit the bath via the automatic ticket inspection passage for the purpose of connecting. I can do it.

In addition, the entrance ticket inspection machine determines whether the station code of the connecting station on the company's own line is encoded in the other company's line truck, and if it is encoded, the ticket is determined to be a connecting ticket. Since the determination regarding the presence or absence of the entrance code is processed as valid, the holder of the connecting ticket can enter through the automatic ticket inspection passageway at the connecting station. Therefore, in order for each automatic ticket inspection machine for entering and exiting hot springs to automatically process a connecting ticket that allows for connecting rides as described above, the holder of the connecting ticket cannot pass through the automatic ticket inspection passage at the connecting station. can.
