Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need to collect the charge for use and to facilitate control over the charge for use extremely by providing a magnetic recording part for the effective number of times of a coupon ticket on one surface of a card base material and a display part for the effective number of times of thermal printing on the other surface. CONSTITUTION:A user purchases the magnetic coupon ticket which has necessary items recorded previously on both surfaces and inserts it into a receiving and discharging device 8. The read head of a magnetic reader 9 reads the effective number of times with a signal (a) and a circuit control part 11 turns on with a signal (c) from a counting circuit 10. When a gate is opened in this state, counting operation is started on the basis of the effective number of times read by the circuit 10 with a signal (d) from a terminal 12 and the gate is closed a certain time later. When the gate is opened again at the time of exiting from a parking lot, a circuit 11 sends out signals (e) and (f) to respective circuits for counting 10, writing 13, thermal printing 14, and discharging 8, and the counting circuit 10 finishes counting. The effective number of times before use is erased with a final count number signal (g), the new effective number of times is written on a writing device 13 and recorded on a thermal printing device 14 at the same time, and the ticket is discharged from the discharging device 8.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for recording a coupon ticket, and more particularly to a method for recording a magnetic coupon ticket in place of the conventional Gizuri method coupon ticket.

Conventionally, tickets for the coupon system have been made up of multiple tickets that are sewn consecutively through a sewing machine, and are separated into a single ticket each time they are used, or have multiple stamping spaces. , a structure in which a seal is stamped each time it is used to notify the number of times it has been used or the number of degrees has been used.

However, these conventional coupon type tickets have the drawback that it requires a lot of effort to organize the data after collecting the used tickets.

As a result of research in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the inventor of the present invention has found that a magnetic recording section made of a magnetic layer is provided on one side of the card base material instead of the conventional coupon type ticket, and the card base material A valid number display section made of a heat-sensitive coloring layer is provided on the other surface of the material, the number of valid times of the ticket is magnetically recorded in the magnetic recording section, and a number indicating the number of valid times is provided in the valid number display section. When the magnetic ticket is placed in a magnetic reader, the control circuits of parking lot gates, copying machines, automatic ticket gates, public telephones, etc. are turned on, and the above facilities are used. After that, the valid number of tickets is re-recorded in the magnetic recording section as the number of times subtracted by the number of times of use, and the magnetic coupon ticket is used with the number of times subtracted by the number of times of use printed by electric shock on the number of valid times display section. If the system is returned to the owner, not only will there be no need for manual data organization after used items are collected, but there will also be no need to collect fees such as parking lot usage fees, copy machine usage fees, and public phone usage fees. We have discovered that this outstanding effect can be achieved, and have completed the present invention based on this knowledge.

That is, the gist of the present invention is that a magnetic recording section made of a magnetic layer is provided on one side of a card base material, and an effective number display section made of a thermosensitive coloring layer is provided on the other side of the card base material.

Further, the valid number display section may be provided so as to cover the entire other surface of the card base material.

An example will be described in which the magnetic ticket recording method of the present invention using the magnetic ticket configured as described above is applied to a parking fee payment system.

FIG. 4 shows a block diagram when the magnetic ticket recording method of the present invention is applied to a parking fee payment system.

First, the parking lot user inserts the magnetic coupon ticket (L) into the coupon receiving/discharging device (8).

When a magnetic coupon (L) is inserted into the coupon receiving/discharging device (8), a signal (a) is sent by the coupon receiving/discharging device (8) to the magnetic reader (9) and the counting circuit (lO).

The effective number of strokes is read by the read head of the magnetic reading device (9) to which the signal (a) is input, and the data signal (b) of the read effective number of strokes is sent to the counting circuit (10).

When the data signal (b) and signal (a) are input to the counting circuit (10), the counting circuit (10) sends the line control circuit (11) to the counter circuit (10).
), which causes the line control circuit l
(11) is turned on. When the gate opening button is pressed in this state, the gate opening/closing device is activated and the gate is opened. A signal that indicates when the gate is opened (
d) is sent from the terminal (12) to the counting circuit (1o).

Receiving the signal (d), the counting circuit (1o) starts counting with the valid number read from the magnetic ticket as the first number and a certain period of time (for example, 30 minutes) as one count. After the gate is opened, the gate opening/closing device is activated again and the gate is automatically closed when a sufficient time has elapsed for the vehicle to enter the parking lot. When a parking lot user wants to stop using the parking lot and take the car out of the parking lot, the user presses a gate release button to open the gate.

When the gate is opened, a signal (e
) is sent to the counting circuit (10), magnetic writing device (13) and thermal printing device (14), and a signal (5) is sent to the coupon receiving and discharging device (8). Upon receiving the signal (e), the counting circuit (10) finishes counting the usage frequency.

Next, the data signal (g) of the final count number is sent to the magnetic writing device (13) and the thermal printing device (14), and after the valid number of times before using the coupon is erased from the magnetic recording section, the number of valid times before using the coupon is erased. The valid number of times the ticket is used is newly written in the magnetic recording section, and at the same time, the valid number of times after the coupon is used is recorded in the valid number display section as shown in FIG. 5 by thermal printing. When the magnetic recording section and thermal printing of the valid number of tickets are completed, the magnetic coupon ticket is ejected from the coupon receiving and discharging device (8) and returned to the user. The user can carry the returned magnetic ticket with him and use the magnetic ticket on another occasion to use the parking lot in the same way, repeating the process until the valid number of tickets reaches 0. magnetic coupons can be used.

As described above, according to the magnetic coupon recording method of the present invention, it is possible to have a parking lot user purchase a magnetic coupon ticket in advance and have the user use the magnetic coupon ticket to use the parking lot. This eliminates the need to collect usage fees for each parking lot, making management of usage fees extremely easy.

The above describes an example in which the magnetic coupon recording method of the present invention is used in a parking fee payment system.In addition, the magnetic coupon recording method of the present invention can be applied to copier usage fees, trains, buses, taxis, etc. It can also be effectively used to pay for train fares, public telephone charges, etc.

In addition, the number of valid times can be printed and displayed by thermal printing, and the number of maintenance required for a thermal printing device is much less than that for a ribbon-type printing device. The magnetic coupons used in the recording method are suitable for use in paying fees for things such as public telephones, which exist in large numbers everywhere.
