Description

Automatic ticketing system

The present invention is an automatic ticketing device which is installed at a railway station and reads ticket information from a ticket inserted by a pedestrian and executes the ticketing service automatically, and is electrically connected to the automatic ticketing device to monitor the status of the automatic ticketing device. And an automatic ticketing system comprising a monitoring device for setting status and the like.

In recent years, for example, when a user (passenger) who is installed at the entrance and exit of a facility such as a railroad and enters or exits a facility in order to simplify the ticketing service in a railroad relationship, or executes a transfer of the facility, In addition, automatic ticket gates have been introduced to collect and inspect tickets (recording media) carried by passengers, and to permit the passage of passengers if the tickets are legitimate and to close the doors if they are unjust.

This kind of automatic ticketing device is set to an abnormal state when a ticket is blocked or an abnormality of judgment occurs, it emits an alarm such as ringing a buzzer, and closes the door to prevent the passage of a pedestrian. The pedestrians are informed of the contents of the abnormalities and their countermeasures.

When the abnormal state is obtained, the person in charge presses the reset switch provided on the automatic ticket gate device to reset (cancel) the abnormal state.

The automatic ticket gates provided at each inlet or each outlet are electrically connected to the monitoring device, respectively. This monitoring device is installed in the monitoring room (staff window) in which the person in charge is responsible for monitoring the status and setting the status of the automatic ticketing device. The monitoring device is configured to display the details of the abnormality occurring at the same time as the buzzer sounds when an abnormality occurs in the automatic ticketing device.

In addition, the monitoring device can stop the alarm for each automatic ticketing device, and has a function of resetting (clearing) the abnormal status of each automatic ticketing device by pressing the reset switch for specific abnormalities.

In addition, the monitoring apparatus displays or stores processing data (passing number of persons, passing data for each station, use amount of a free paid card) and the like in each automatic ticket gate.

As a function of the reset switch, it is used for the following purposes in addition to the above-described reset of the abnormal state. That is, in general, when an elderly person (for example, an elderly person, a pregnant woman, a disabled person, etc.) pass through an automatic ticket gate, the person in charge considers the elderly person's passage due to safety problems. To do this, the automatic ticket gate is enabled to allow the elderly to pass through the automatic ticket gate while in the reset state.

In this case, the reset of the automatic ticketing device can be performed by both the reset switch installed in the automatic ticketing device main body and the reset switch installed in the monitoring device, but the person in charge near the automatic ticketing device directly sets the automatic ticketing device to the reset state to induce the elderly. .

By the way, the said prior art had the following problems.

That is, for example, a passenger who has an invalid ticket (including an illegal one) is blocked, but the reset switch of the automatic ticket gate is easily installed by a station attendant because the reset switch of the automatic ticket gate is easily operated. It is possible to avoid fraud by pressing.

For this reason, direct reset by the reset switch of the automatic ticketing device is impossible by the setting in the monitoring device, and the reset of the automatic ticketing device by a pedestrian who rides illegally is also carried out.

In this case, when the person in charge near the automatic ticketing device resets the automatic ticketing device, the method of resetting the automatic ticketing device using the reset switch of the monitoring device in the monitoring room, and the setting of the monitoring device to the reset switch of the automatic ticketing device. There is a way to directly reset the automatic ticketing device by enabling the reset directly. However, if the person in charge does not go to the monitoring room by the former method, the automatic ticket gate cannot be reset, and by the latter method, it is impossible to prevent the reset by the pedestrian.

Thus, the present invention provides an automatic ticketing system that, for example, prevents the reset of the automatic ticketing device (the release of an abnormal state) by an illegally-passed passenger and at the same time enables the person in charge near the automatic ticketing device to reset immediately. For the purpose of

First, in step S0, each power supply of each automatic ticketing device 100 and the monitoring device 300 is turned on, and it progresses to step S1. In step S1, the reset mode acceptance switch provided in the monitoring device 300 is set to "on" in order to execute the setting of the reset mode acceptance of the automatic ticketing device 100.

That is, in the display operation unit 300B, the screen of FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 45, and the setting button 84 of the menu display unit 81 is pressed. When the setting button 84 is pressed, the display section 45 displays a setting screen as shown in FIG. First, in this setting screen 1, the operation mode display unit 83 enters the first mode for validating the function of the first reset switch 16 provided in the automatic ticket gate device 100 or the second mode for invalidating. A reset mode acceptance switch 86 for setting whether or not to accept a mode change by the reset enable / disable setting switch 85 as the mode setting means to be set and the reset enable switch 17 provided in the automatic ticketing device 100 is provided. Display. Here, the operator presses the reset mode acceptance switch 86 and sets it to " on " to display the setting screen as shown in FIG.

Next, in the setting screen of FIG. 11, the setting of reset acceptance is executed for each automatic ticketing device 100 or collectively for each automatic ticketing device 100. That is, in the case of setting by each automatic ticketing device 100, first, on the operation screen display unit 83 of the display unit 45, the change button 87 is pressed, and then on / off setting provided by each automatic ticketing device 100 is performed. The button 88 is set to " off " or " on " (in this case, it is set to " on " because it is accepted). Finally, the confirmation button 89 is pressed. In addition, when setting each automatic ticketing device 100 collectively, in the operation screen display part 83 of the display part 45, the change button 87 is pressed first, and then the all-on button 90 or all-off button is carried out. (91) is pressed (in this case, the whole on button 90 is pushed because it accepts), and finally the confirmation button 89 is pushed.

In this way, when the mode which accepts the mode change by the reset enable switch 17 is set, it progresses to step S2 and sets the reset enable / disable setting switch installed in the monitoring apparatus 300 to invalid.

In other words, the display manipulation unit 300B displays the setting screen shown in FIG. 10 on the display unit 45 again. In this setting screen, the operator presses the reset enable / disable setting switch 85 to display the setting screen as shown in FIG. 12 on the display unit 45.

Next, in the setting screen of FIG. 12, reset enable / disable setting is executed for each automatic ticketing device 100 or collectively for each automatic ticketing device 100. FIG. That is, in the case of setting by each automatic ticketing device 100, on the operation screen display part 83 of the display part 45, first, the change button 87 is pressed, and then the on / off installed by each automatic ticketing device 100 is performed. The off setting button 88 is set to " off " or " on " (in this case, it is set to " off " because it is invalid), and finally the confirmation button 89 is pressed. In addition, when setting each automatic ticketing device 100 collectively, in the operation screen display part 83 of the display part 45, the change button 87 is pressed first, and then the all-on button 90 or all-off button is carried out. (91) is pressed (in this case, the entire off button 91 is pressed because it is invalid), and finally the confirmation button 89 is pressed.

In this way, the first reset switch 16 of the automatic ticketing device 100 is set to a second mode (hereinafter also referred to as a normal mode) in which the function is invalidated.

In this way, when the normal mode is set, the process proceeds to step S3 and the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 transmits a mode change reception permission signal to the automatic ticket gate 100 together with the mode setting signal of the normal mode. . When the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 receives the mode setting signal of the normal mode from the monitoring device 300, the CPU 51 sets the normal mode (second mode) to invalidate the function of the first reset switch 16. do. Therefore, even in this normal mode, even if the first reset switch 16 is operated, the operation is invalidated and acceptance of the reset is prevented.

In addition, when the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 receives the mode change acceptance permission signal from the monitoring device 300, the function of the reset valid switch 17 is set to the valid state. Therefore, the mode change is possible when the reset valid switch 17 is operated in this state.

In addition, in the normal mode, the wicket processing of steps S4 to S8 is executed. Step S4 is normal processing (decision normal), step S5 is abnormal determination (out of section (out of fare), overtime, end of service, abnormal ticket, etc.), and step S6 is free riding, free riding reverse entry. Step S7 is a process abnormality (trouble on the automatic ticketing device side), and step S8 is a reset of the automatic ticketing device 100 by an arbitrary person in charge (for example, induction of an elderly person by the person in charge).

In addition, when the mode change by the reset effective switch 17 provided in the automatic ticketing device 100 is not accepted, in the setting screen of FIG. 11, the on / off setting button 88 is set to " off " By pressing the off button 91, the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 transmits a mode change reception impossible signal to the automatic ticketing device 100 together with the mode setting signal of the normal mode.

The CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 sets the function of the reset valid switch 17 to an invalid state when it receives the mode change acceptance not available signal sent from the monitoring device 300. Therefore, even if the reset valid switch 17 is operated in this state, the operation becomes invalid and the acceptance of the mode change is prevented.

Hereinafter, the specific example of the above-mentioned wicket process is demonstrated.

For example, when a pedestrian enters through the automatic ticketing device 100 of Unit 1, the passenger passes the ticket P, which he holds, into the inlet 3. In the automatic ticket gate 100, the validity of the inserted ticket P is determined. That is, the ticket P put into the inlet 3 is conveyed to the discharge port 4 by the conveying path 21, but is magnetically recorded on the ticket P by the read head 24 (or 25) during the conveyance. The ticketing information is read and sent to the CPU 51 via the reading circuit 55.

The CPU 51 judges the validity of the time limit and the section of the ticket P in the readout information. As a result of this determination, if it is valid, the CPU 51 inputs entrance information such as the date and time of entry and entrance to the ticket P by controlling the input head 26 (or 27) through the input circuit 56. .

Next, the CPU 51 reads the information input to the ticket P by the reading head 28 (or 29) through the reading circuit 55 to confirm that the entrance information is normally input. The CPU 51 checks whether or not the input is normally terminated by performing correspondence between the input information (input information) and the read information (information read for checking). As a result of this check, when the input is normally terminated, the CPU 51 keeps the door 7 open and the passer-by passes through the passage as it is.

In addition, the conveyance state detection unit 63 detects an abnormality in the ticket blocking of the ticket P conveyed from the conveying path 21 based on the respective detection outputs of the detectors 40 and 41 and sends the detected result to the CPU 51. send.

As a result of the determination, when the determination is over, such as the deadline or the section exceeded, the CPU 51 discharges the inserted ticket P to the discharge port 22, closes the door 7 in the passage progress direction, and prevents passage of a pedestrian. At the same time, the determination result is displayed on the guide display unit 5. At the same time, the alarm unit 67 is sounded to inform the operator of the abnormality by the voice guidance speaker 6 at the same time. In addition, the CPU 51 sets the automatic ticketing device 100 to an abnormal state.

In addition, when a ticket blockage abnormality is detected, the CPU 51 closes the door 7 in the passage progress direction, prevents passage of a pedestrian, and displays that a ticket blockage abnormality has occurred in the guide display section 5. At the same time, the alarm unit 67 is sounded and an abnormality is notified, and the voice information speaker 6 notifies the passenger of the abnormality. In addition, the CPU 51 sets the automatic ticketing device 100 to an abnormal state.

If such an abnormality occurs, the CPU 51 transmits the abnormality to the monitoring apparatus 300. When the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 receives the contents of the abnormality from the automatic ticketing device 100, the alarm unit 74 sounds to inform the occurrence of the abnormality and determines whether the abnormality is a judgment abnormality or a ticket clogging abnormality.

As a result of this determination, for example, when the abnormality content exceeds the time limit of the determination error, the CPU 71 displays the abnormality content (expiration date) of Unit 1 in which the abnormality has occurred on the abnormality display part 82 of the display part 45. At this time, an alarm stop button is displayed on the operation screen display unit 83.

When the alarm stop button is pressed here, the CPU 71 stops the alarm of the alarm unit 74 and transmits an alarm stop command to the automatic ticket gate 100. The CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 stops ringing of the alarm unit 67 when the alarm stop command from the monitoring device 300 is received.

In addition, when the second reset switch 46 provided in the display operation unit 300B is pressed, the CPU 71 stops ringing of the alarm unit 74 and transmits an abnormal release signal to the automatic ticketing device 100. When the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 receives the abnormal release signal from the monitoring device 300, it stops the alarm of the alarm unit 67 and at the same time resets (cancels) the abnormal state and the automatic ticketing device 100. Return to normal standby.

Then, in the normal processing of step S4, when the reset of the automatic ticket gate 100 by the first reset switch 16 is not executed (S9), the flow advances to step S10 to the operation of the normal mode. do.

Moreover, when the determination abnormality of step S5 or the free riding and free riding reverse entry of step S6 are not reset by the 1st reset switch 16, the automatic ticket gate 100 is not reset (S11). S13 and S14, and proceeds to step S12 and S14, performs an automatic reset process for automatically resetting after a predetermined time, and then proceeds to step S10 to operate in normal mode.

On the other hand, in the process abnormality of step S7, it is determined whether the reset by the automatic ticketing device 100 is possible (S15), and if possible, it progresses to step S16 and the automatic ticketing by the 1st reset switch 16 is carried out. It is determined whether or not the reset of the apparatus 100 is executed (S16). If not, or if it is impossible in step S15, the flow advances to step S17 to perform the person in charge or the maintenance person in correspondence.

When performing the reset of the automatic ticketing device 100 by the first reset switch 16 in steps S9, S11, S13, and S16, or by the person in charge of the step S8, the automatic ticketing device 100 In case of reset), the process proceeds to step S18.

In step S18, when the operator presses the reset valid switch 17, the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 receives the signal and the first reset switch 16 in the normal mode (second mode). Is forcibly switched to the first mode, and the function of the first reset switch 16 is made valid.

In addition, the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 turns on the reset switch valid mode acceptance indicator 18 only for a predetermined time (S19), so that the reset valid switch 17 is pressed and the first reset switch ( 16) is set to the first mode and the person in charge is informed that the reset switch is in the effective mode, and the flow proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 monitors the mode change signal indicating that the first reset switch 16 is set to the first mode and the reset switch valid mode is set. Send about. When the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 receives the mode change signal from the automatic ticketing device 100, the setting mode of the first reset switch 16 is inconsistent between the monitoring device 300 and the automatic ticketing device 100. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, in the operation screen display unit 83 of the display unit 45, the display character of the on / off setting button 88 is changed from " off " to " on " This informs the person in charge that the reset valid switch 17 has been pressed to enter the reset switch valid mode, and the voice guidance unit 79 makes a voice announcement to the person in charge, and turns on the second reset switch 46. In addition, the voice guidance is repeatedly executed at a constant cycle, for example.

In the example of FIG. 13, for example, in the automatic ticketing device 100 of Unit 5, the reset valid switch 17 is pressed to indicate that the first reset switch 16 is in the valid mode (first mode). .

In this case, by pressing the monitoring button 92 on the menu display section 81 of the display section 45, the CPU 71 displays the monitoring / path switching screen as shown in FIG. 14 on the display section 45. On this display screen, a letter indicating that the reset validity switch 17 is pressed, for example, three characters "RST" is displayed on the display unit of the corresponding display number of the abnormality display unit 82, and the person in charge is informed. The voice guide unit 79 guides the voice to the person in charge.

The example of FIG. 14 shows, for example, that the reset enable switch 17 was pressed in the automatic ticketing device 100 of Unit 5 so that the first reset switch 16 became the effective mode (the first mode).

In addition, in the display screen of FIG. 14, the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 causes the display unit 45 to display the display screen by pressing the display unit 93 on which the character “RST” of the abnormal display unit 82 is displayed. 14 to 15, and at the same time, the operation screen display section 83 flashes the detail screen 94 on this display screen.

These display operations (Figs. 13 to 15) are released when the mismatch between the setting modes of the monitoring device 300 and the automatic ticketing device 100 of the first reset switch 16 is released.

Thus, the person in charge presses the reset valid switch 17 to set the first reset switch 16 to the valid mode (first mode), and then presses the first reset switch 16 (S21) and proceeds to step S22. do. In step S22, the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 executes a reset process for releasing the abnormal state.

In step S18, when it returns to normal mode again by mistake operation etc., it progresses to step S23, it is judged whether the reset of the automatic ticket gate apparatus 100 by a person in charge is performed, and when it stops, Jump to (S12 or S14). In the case of resetting, the process proceeds to step S24, and by pressing the reset valid switch 17 again, the first reset switch 16 in the normal mode (second mode) is forcibly switched to the first mode, The operation jumps to step S19 to execute the above operation.

When the abnormal state reset process of the automatic ticketing device 100 ends in step S22, the flow advances to step S25 to determine whether the first reset switch 16 is returned (returned) to the normal mode (second mode). do.

If it does not return to normal mode in step S25 (it is also included in this step to forget to return to normal mode by the person in charge), it progresses to step S26 and the monitoring apparatus 300 Since the display contents of the display operation unit 300B become the reset switch valid mode, when the display operation unit 300B of the monitoring apparatus 300 returns to the normal mode, the reset enable / disable setting switch 85 is set to invalid. If no jump is made to the normal mode, the flow advances to step S27. In step S27, operation is performed in the reset switch valid mode.

In step S25, when returning to normal mode, it progresses to step S28 and presses the reset effective switch 17 again, and the 1st reset switch 16 in a 1st mode is changed to normal mode (2nd). Mode), the flow advances to step S29.

In step S29, the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 transmits a mode return signal to the monitoring device 300 indicating that the first reset switch 16 has returned to the second mode and has entered the normal mode. do. Upon receiving the mode return signal from the automatic ticketing device 100, the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 returns the display contents of the display operation unit 300B, which becomes the reset switch valid mode, to the state of the normal mode (step S10). Jump to).

In the above description, the operation of the automatic ticketing device 100 with respect to the setting state of each switch of the automatic ticketing device 100 is shown in the form of a table as shown in FIG. 16. In addition, the operation and display of the monitoring device 300 with respect to the setting state of each switch of the monitoring device 300 are shown in the form of a table as shown in FIG. 17.

Next, a modification of the display control in the monitoring apparatus 300 when the person in charge forgets to reset the first reset switch 16 to the second mode (normal mode) by the reset effective switch 17 is shown. It demonstrates with reference to the flowchart shown in 18.

First, in step S31, when the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 receives the mode change signal indicating that the reset switch valid mode sent from the automatic ticketing device 100 is entered, the flow proceeds to step S32 and the reception is performed. The changed mode change signal is stored in the RAM 73.

Next, in step S33, the CPU 71 refers to the mode change signal stored in the RAM 73 so that the setting mode of the first reset switch 16 is changed to the automatic ticketing device 100 and the monitoring device ( In 300, it is determined whether or not a match is found, and if there is a match, inconsistency display is not performed.

In this example, the mode change signal stored in the RAM 73 indicates the reset switch valid mode, and since the setting mode in the monitoring device 300 is the normal mode, both of them are inconsistent and the flow advances to step S34. In step S34, a time measurement timer (not shown) is started and the flow advances to step S35. In step S35, it is determined whether or not the measurement time of the timer has newly set a predetermined time. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S33 and the above operation is repeated.

In step S35, when the timer measurement time has passed for a predetermined time, it is determined that the return by the person in charge is forgotten, the process proceeds to step S36 and the timer is initialized to proceed to step S37. In step S37, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, a character indicating that the setting mode of the first reset switch 16 is inconsistent in the display unit of the corresponding display number of the abnormal display unit 82 in the display unit 45; For example, the three-character "RST" is displayed and notified to the person in charge, and the voice guidance unit 79 voice-informs the person in charge.

In the example of FIG. 14, for example, in the automatic ticketing device 100 of Unit 5, the setting mode of the first reset switch 16 is inconsistent between the automatic ticketing device 100 and the monitoring device 300. FIG.

On the display screen of FIG. 14, the operator presses the display unit 93 on which the character “RST” of the abnormality display unit 82 is displayed (step S39), whereby the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 is removed. 1 The mode return signal for returning the reset switch 16 to the second mode (normal mode) is transmitted to the automatic ticketing device 100 (step S39). When the CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 receives the mode return signal from the monitoring device 300, the CPU 51 returns the first reset switch 16 in the first mode to the normal mode (second mode).

The CPU 51 of the automatic ticketing device 100 transmits a mode return signal to the monitoring device 300 indicating that the first reset switch 16 has returned to the second mode and has entered the normal mode. Upon receiving the mode return signal from the automatic ticketing device 100, the CPU 71 of the monitoring device 300 returns the display contents of the display operation unit 300B which has become the reset switch valid mode to the state of the normal mode.

In this way, even when the mode is not directly reset by the automatic ticketing device 100, the first switch installed in the automatic ticketing device 100 by the reset valid switch 17 installed in the pawl portion 8 of the automatic ticketing device 100. It is possible to directly reset the automatic ticketing device 100 by setting the reset switch 16 to the effective mode.

In addition, the reset effective switch 17 makes it possible to return the first reset switch 16 to the normal mode so as to prevent the illegal reset of the automatic ticketing device 100 by mischief and illegal trafficker.

In addition, when the person in charge forgets to reset the first reset switch 16 to the normal mode by the reset effective switch 17, it is detected and displayed by the monitoring device 300. It is more effective for preventing the illegal reset of the wicket 100.

As described above, according to the automatic ticketing system of the present invention, the mode setting means for setting the abnormal release signal input means (reset switch) installed in the automatic ticketing device to the first mode for validating the function or the second mode for invalidating. When the abnormal release signal input means is set to the second mode and a mode change means forcibly switching the abnormal release signal input means to the first mode is not provided, the direct reset on the automatic ticketing device side is impossible. Even in the mode, it is possible to easily reset the automatic ticketing device by the person in charge at the side of the automatic ticketing device, and for example, to prevent the reset of the automatic ticketing device (release of the abnormal state) by the illegally-passed passenger.
