JPS63240674A - Train ticket vending equipment - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To offer the highly convenient service to the users by securing such a mechanism where the name of the nearest get-off station is retrieved together with calculation of a scheduled arrival time and these station name and arrival time are displayed on a screen and printed out when a user supplies his/her get-off place name via a keyboard. CONSTITUTION:A user desiring the purchase of a train ticket or a user desiring the purchase of a table containing the get-off station names and the scheduled arrival time points supplies the get-on and get-off station names via a Japanese syllabary keyboard 2. Thus a CPU 1 gives an access to an external memory 4 through an external memory control part 5 and decodes the get-on station name and the nearest get-off station name. Then the CPU 1 calculates the due fare and the scheduled arrival time and displays them on a display device 11. Confirming these displayed contents, the user puts coins into a train ticket vending machine 7. Then the CPU 1 outputs an output to a printer via a printer control part 8. Thus the accurate service is secured in a short time.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a passenger ticket issuing device.

(Technology from Ij'e) The passenger ticket issuing device from today allows the user to determine the destination station and fare based on the route map, deliver money to the ticket issuing machine, and purchase the ticket. It had become.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional ticket issuing device purchases a ticket based on the user's judgment based on the route map, so it is difficult for unfamiliar or unfamiliar people, travelers, etc. to know the name of the destination. However, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to check the station where you will get off, which can lead to extra time and erroneous purchases.

[Means for solving problems]

The device of the present invention provides a means for performing place name input when purchasing a ticket, and once the boarding and alighting place names are input, the device searches for the boarding and alighting stations and calculates the fare and estimated time of arrival at the alighting station. 9 [Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Explain with reference to.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of one embodiment of the invention.

In FIG. 1, the present embodiment includes a ticket issuing machine 7, a ticket issuing control section 6, a syllabary keyboard 2, a keyboard control section 3, outputting the nearest alighting station and estimated arrival time, and calculating the fare. an external storage device 4 in which a database is stored, a central processing unit 1 and a storage device 12 that perform calculations, an external storage device control section 5, a display device 11, a display device control section 10, and the contents thereof. It consists of a printer 1 to an output printer 1-9 and a printer control section 8.

FIG. 2 shows the operating parts of this embodiment, such as the 50-tone keyboard 21, the ticket vending machine 7. A layout of a printer 9 and a display device 11 is shown.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When a person who wishes to purchase a passenger ticket, alighting station name, and an estimated arrival timetable enters the boarding and alighting place name from the Japanese 50-syllabary keyboard 2, the keyboard system (1 part 3 decodes the name, and the central processing unit 1 reads the characters) As a search key, the external storage device 4 is accessed through the external storage device control unit 5, and the boarding station and nearest alighting station are decoded.

The decoded data is accessed by the central processing unit 1 to the external storage device 4 through the external storage device control unit 5 using the boarding station and the alighting station as search keys, and the fare from the boarding station to the alighting station and the arrival schedule at the alighting station are stored. The time is calculated and its contents are displayed on the display device 11.

A person who wishes to purchase a passenger ticket or a person who wishes to purchase the name of the alighting station and the estimated arrival timetable confirms the display and inserts the necessary coins into the ticket issuing machine 7, and the ticket issuing machine control 6 counts the amount. If the central processing unit 1 and the storage device 12 determine that a suspension line is necessary, the ticket issuing machine control unit 6 pays out the necessary amount for each ticket issued 7. When the amount is paid, the contents are outputted to the printer 9 through the printer control section 8.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, when a passenger user inputs the name of the alighting place using the keyboard, the central processing unit and the external storage device calculate the name of the nearest alighting station and the estimated time of arrival, and after displaying the information on the display device, the content is displayed. Since the system is configured to print a ticket, it is possible to accurately provide highly convenient value-added services in a short period of time, such as ticket issuance and destination arrival time information provided by a local person when a passenger purchases a ticket.
