Definitions

• the present invention relates to a method of totalizing and displaying the total number of visitors who have passed through each automatic ticket gate installed at an entrance of a station, an amusement park, or the like.
• the number of people who have passed through the automatic ticket gates installed at the ticket gates at stations, especially the number of passengers on trains with reserved seats, etc., is generally determined by the central unit based on the data sent from each automatic ticket gate. They are only tabulated and stored and / or displayed on the central unit. For this reason, if a person working at a location away from the central unit, for example, at a ticket gate, wants to know the total number of visitors, go to the location where the central unit is installed or handle the central unit I had to check with the staff on the phone etc., which was troublesome.
• the number of persons entering through each automatic ticket gate can be easily known without having to go to the central unit or check with the person operating the central unit by telephone or the like.
• the purpose is to provide a method for displaying the number of employees.
• each automatic ticket gate reads the inserted ticket information and transmits the seat data to the central unit.
• the total number of visitors is calculated based on the seat data transmitted from the automatic ticket gate and transmitted to each automatic ticket gate, and the total number of visitors is displayed on the display device of each automatic ticket gate.
• FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electric circuit showing an embodiment of an apparatus for performing the method of the present invention
• FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the storage contents of the memory of the central unit
• Fig. 3 is a block diagram of an electric circuit showing one embodiment of an automatic ticket gate
• Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view showing one embodiment in the case of the automatic ticket gate.
• Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the automatic ticket gate.
• FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a format of data to be transmitted
• FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of total data.
• (1) is a central device installed at a specific camp in the station, and (2a, 2b "'... 2n) It is an installed automatic ticket gate.
• the central unit (1) is composed of a processing circuit (10) using a microphone exit processor, a memory (11) storing sales data, seating data, etc., and an automatic ticket gate.
• the seat data stored in the memory ( ⁇ 1) is a format file as shown in Fig. 2 for example, and the operation date, train name There is a storage unit for each of the departure time, the number of seats, the number of boarded passengers (number of visitors), the number of vacant seats and other information for each train on the date of operation, as described later.
• the storage part of each data is composed of multiple bits.
• Each of the automatic ticket gates (2a, 2b ... 2n) has a control system using a micro processor, as shown in Figs.
• a device (20) a ticket detector (21) for detecting that a ticket has been inserted into the ticket slot (27), a ticket transport device (22) for transporting the inserted ticket, A data read / write device (23), such as a magnetic head, that reads and writes information on the issued ticket, a central device ⁇ 1), and a control device (20)
• a transmission / reception device (24) for transmitting and receiving, and an information display device (25) such as a GRT display device for displaying the total number of visitors, and various information.
• a memory (26) for storing information.
• the information display device (25) is provided on the opposite side of the ticket slot (27), and the display surface has a display window (29> and a display window (29>) formed in the housing (28). Face-to-face, the displayed data can be seen through the display window (29).
• the control device (20) operates. First, the ticket transport device (22) and the reading / writing device (23) are operated, whereby the inserted tickets are transported by the ticket transport device (22) and recorded on the tickets. ⁇ Read the information read by the writing device (23) Next, the control device (20) judges the validity of the ticket based on the read information, and determines that the ticket is improper. Is sent back to the ticket slot (27) by the ticket transport device (22), but if the ticket is correct, the control device (20) sends the read data to the transmission / reception device.
• the ticket is sent to the ticket receiving port (30) by the ticket transport device (22), and is read to the garden.
• the predetermined information is written on the ticket by the loading device (23)
• transmission of display information (total data) from the central device (1) is waited.
• the seat data transmitted from each automatic ticket gate to the central unit (1) is, as shown in Fig. 6 (A), the automatic ticket gate number, operation date, train name, seat number, and ticket type. , And amount .
• the total data transmitted from the central unit (1) to the automatic ticket gates (2a, 2b ... 2n) Includes train name, departure time, number of seats, number of reserved seats, number of boarded passengers, number of vacant seats, and other items by train.
• each automatic ticket gate (2a, 2b ... 2n) updates the total data in the memory (26) to the received total data, and displays the new total data on the information display device (25).
• the total data displayed on the information display device (26) is, as shown in Fig. 7, the train name, departure time, number of seats, number of reserved seats, number of boarded passengers, and number of vacant seats. Data is displayed for each train. Therefore, the clerk working near the location where the automatic ticket gate is installed checks the total data such as the number of visitors at the nearby automatic ticket gate and provides services such as guidance to the customer. You can do it. Industrial applicability
• ticket information input from each automatic ticket gate is read and seat data is transmitted to the central unit, and the central unit is based on the seat data transmitted from each automatic ticket gate. Since the total number of visitors is calculated and transmitted to each automatic ticket gate, and the total number of visitors is displayed on the display device of each automatic ticket gate, even if there are multiple ticket gates, The clerk is suitable for checking the total number of visitors at a nearby automatic ticket gate.
