The results of these readings are sent to the main control section 100 via the magnetic reading section 2500 or the OCR recognition section 2800 and temporarily stored in the memory 200. Thereafter, the stacker transport control unit 3600 transports the tickets to the temporary stacking station 23 in FIG. 1 and temporarily stacks them.

Here, the main control unit 100 determines the type of processing to be performed subsequently based on the ticket information stored in the memory 200 or by communicating with the host central processing unit via the communication control unit 300. Depending on the judgment result, the following 3
Select one of the following processes and execute it.

<Processing 1> Processing 1 is a process that is completed by itself in one read ticket, and is a process in which magnetic information is added to the ticket itself or predetermined information is printed.

That is, when this process 1 is selected, the 1-way control unit +00 determines from the predetermined read data and causes the conveyance control unit 700 to drive the corresponding device of the drive device group 800 in reverse, and then temporarily stacks the conveyance control unit 3 [i 00 Meanwhile, the ticket is back-fed from the temporary stacking stage 23 and conveyed to the magnetic write head section 18. Thereafter, the tickets are discharged from the discharge lower after going through the same processing steps as tickets or forms from the hopper 32 of the cruising speed, and taken out by the operator.

<Process 2> This process 2 completes the process with one read ticket, and the inserted ticket is taken into the stacker :) 3 and information is added to the ticket or form stored in the hopper 32. The ticket will be exchanged and issued as a new ticket.

That is, when the main control unit 100 selects this process 2,
The hopper control unit 2900 is given instructions to designate the type of ticket or form and to feed it, and then write magnetic information, check the information, etc. as necessary on the fed out tickets or forms, such as in a stacked manner. After printing, it is ejected and issued as a predetermined ticket.

Note that the issue of this ticket is not limited to one, but it is also possible to issue a plurality of tickets depending on the information from the read ticket.

Thereafter, the main control unit 100 drives a predetermined device of the drive device group 800 in reverse via the conveyance control unit 700 to backfeed the ticket and convey it to the magnetic writing head 18, and also switches the conveyance path of the conveyance control unit 700. The device group 2400 is controlled, the blades 12.14 are switched, and the conveyance path 39 to the magnetic insertion head 18 and the magnetic reading head 17 is connected to the conveyance path 34. If this ticket has a magnetic stripe, the main control unit 1
In response to the instruction 00, magnetic information such as cancellation or invalidation is written by the magnetic write head 18 via the magnetic write unit 2600.

After that, the ticket is passed to the conveyance path 34, and in the middle of the conveyance path 34, the collection print control section 3 receives an instruction from the main control section 100.
500, the collection printing head 36 of the collection printing section 35 prints information such as cancellation or invalidity on the inserted ticket.

After this printing is completed, the tickets are taken into the stacker 33 according to their types.

<Process 3> In this process 3, the data is not completed with one ticket read,
The data is completed only after reading multiple sheets, and processing is performed using all this data.The processing includes adding +'F, erasing, replacing the ticket with 11F, or adding a new ticket to the ticket inserted from the insertion slot 6. The exchange issue will be carried out.

That is, when the main control unit 100 selects this process 3,
Information is read by the barcode reader lO1 magnetic reading head 17 and OCR reading unit 21 and stored in the memory 200. Based on the information, the main control unit 100 communicates with the host central processing unit either directly or via the communication control unit 300. As a result, the information on one ticket is insufficient,
If it is determined that the process cannot be performed unless information on multiple tickets is collected, the main control unit +00 sends a corresponding message to the CRT display 1 via the CRT control unit 500.
to be displayed.

As a result, when the operator inserts a plurality of tickets one after another from the insertion slot 6, the tickets read by the predetermined reader according to the procedure described in 11η are placed on each interface.
Store in 3. Next, the CR
The T-display will display a message according to your fidget,
The process of inserting → reading → -time stacking is performed until a predetermined number of sheets are completed. Then, when the predetermined data is completed, information is magnetically written or printed on the inserted ticket, or the temporarily stacked ticket itself, or both, based on communication with the host central processing unit or the independent judgment of the main control unit +00. , r11 decides whether to exchange and issue a new ticket.

When adding or updating information to the -time stacking ticket itself, the tickets stored at the -time stacking station 23 are ejected in the order of fast-in and fast-out, or they are ejected randomly. +Wr is issued according to the process 1 described above. When issuing a new ticket, 1) "Hopper +1 according to the process 2 described above.
All the tickets issued and inserted using the tickets or forms stored in the stacker 2, that is, the rolls currently stacked, are stored in the stacker 3:l.

In this case, among the multiple tickets stacked at − time,
It is also possible to write, erase, or retain 117 information on some tickets, and issue other tickets in exchange for new ones.In addition, in the case of exchange issuance, the number of tickets to be imported and the tickets to be issued can be changed. It is also possible to vary the number of sheets.

As described above, according to the embodiment described in (G), information is read from one or more tickets inserted from insertion "16, and +++7 information is written on the inserted ticket based on the reading result," After erasing or rewriting, it can be ejected, or a new ticket can be issued.For example, it is not only possible to edit, issue, and change airline boarding passes and reserved seat tickets for trains all at once. It will also be possible to automatically exchange service tickets and complimentary tickets with tickets of equivalent value or actual tickets.Furthermore, it will also be possible to issue tickets without a magnetic stripe in exchange for tickets with a magnetic stripe. For example, it is also possible to exchange an airline ticket issued outside the device for a boarding pass.

By the way, if for some reason the ticket inserted into the device is ejected, the ticket is returned to the ejection lower. Then, when the ticket paste jet is displayed on the CRT display 1 to notify the user, and the manual input mode is specified by pressing a predetermined key on the keyboard 3, the main control unit +00 can accept input from the keyboard 3. The controller then controls the device and begins processing this information as ticket information and barcodes. Similarly, the main control unit 100 starts processing the information read by the manual ID card reader 5 as magnetic information of the ticket. The operator is the O of the ticket.
CR data and barcode data are manually input from the keyboard 3, and magnetic good news is input from the manual ID card reader 5. These are just the barcode reader section 2300 and the OCR reading section 2700,
This corresponds to data input by the magnetic reading section 2500.

Based on these input data, it becomes possible to execute various types of multiple processes regardless of the inserted ticket paste jet.

Although the present invention has been described using one embodiment, it is not limited to this.

For example, the position of each component within the device can be changed uniquely, and it is also possible to configure the insertion port 6 and the discharge port 7 as one insertion and discharge port. moreover,
Although the number of hoppers 32 and stackers 33 is two each in the above-described embodiment, it is also possible to have one each, or three or more each.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, since it is equipped with a plurality of input means such as barcode, magnetic, and OCR, it is possible to design a ticket or form according to the characteristics of the data entry method. Not only can various types of travel tickets and seat reservations inserted from outside the device be processed in bulk according to the means of transportation, but also cash vouchers such as service tickets, complimentary certificates, or equivalent value can be stamped. Automatic exchange of tickets and passports is possible, and even receipts can be issued in just a few minutes. In particular, for group tickets issued outside the device, new tickets for the number of people can be exchanged and issued in consecutive numbers or in any order, so customer service can be improved. Therefore, an extremely versatile ticket processing terminal device can be provided since the operator can process the ticket at once without worrying about the type of ticket or ticket issued as a ticket.
