Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate device used for tickets with magnetic tape, such as boarding passes, coupons, etc., which also allow identification of hotels, rental cars, etc.

Conventional Technology In general, this type of automatic ticket gate system sets the printed content on the inserted ticket with magnetic tape based on the operator's operation, and the automatic ticket gate system itself sets the printed content on the inserted ticket with magnetic tape. The content is also fixed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention This type of automatic ticket examination device is used by being connected to a host computer, but as mentioned above, the printed and displayed contents are not set by the automatic ticket examination device itself. It is difficult to diversify and maintain high quality.

Means for Solving the Problems An automatic ticket gate machine includes a determining means for encoding and determining a ticket with magnetic tape inserted therein, a printing section, and a display section, and an automatic ticket inspection machine comprising a determining means for encoding a ticket with magnetic tape inserted therein, a printing section, and a display section; The system is comprised of a host computer that transmits data, and a communication section that connects the host computer and the ticket automatic ticket gate.

The printed content or displayed content is transmitted from the host computer to the ticket automatic ticket gate via the action communication unit based on the determination result by the determining means, thereby making it possible to provide flexibility and high quality to the printed content or displayed content. I configured it so that it can be done.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, two display sections 2 are attached to the front of the automatic ticket gate 1, and an input slot 3 into which a ticket (not shown) is inserted is formed on the upper surface of the front side. . An encoding unit 5 is provided in the paper conveying section 4 connected to the input slot 3. A cutting mechanism 6 is provided beyond the encoding unit 5.
output slot 8 via and stamp mechanism 7
are connected by the paper transport section 4. Further, a stocker 9 is provided inside the automatic ticket gate machine 1, and between the stocker 9 and the output slot 8, there is a space between the stamp mechanism 7 and the output slot.
They are connected by a separately formed paper transport section 4 that joins the paper transport section 4 that connects the slot 8 .

Next, inside the automatic ticket gate machine 1, there is a RAM II in which a program ROM10 and various memories are set.
A CPU 12 is provided. This CP
A power supply unit 13 is connected to U12, and a printing unit 14, a paper stocker 9, a display unit 2, and a paper transport unit 4 are connected to the U12.
, an encoding unit 5, a cutting mechanism 6, and a stamping mechanism 7 are connected.

Further, a communication section 15 is connected to the CPU 12, and a host computer 16 is connected to the communication section 15.

Furthermore, a data table 17 for display shown in FIG. 4 and a data table 18 for printing shown in FIG. 5 are set in the RAM II. Here, in Figure 4, "01" is a date error, "02" is a flight number error, "03" is unused, "04" is a card error, and [05] is a card error. ”
is an extraction instruction, and "C6" is a direction error. In addition, in FIG. 5, "B1" indicates a boarding pass, "El" is an error code in FIG. 4, and "C1" indicates that it has been cut.
"B2" is the error code in FIG.

In such a configuration, when the power is turned on, the automatic ticket gate l is initialized, and the table data 17, 1 is sent from the host computer 16 via the communication unit 15.
Receive 8. Then, edit the data.

In this state, when a ticket is inserted into the input slot 3, the ticket is transported by the paper transport section 4,
An encoding unit 5 determines whether the data on the magnetic tape (MT) is encoded. This data is the communication department 1
5 to the host computer 16, and a determination result corresponding to the data is transmitted. For example, if there is no error in the data on the magnetic tape, the print data C1 (cut) and the data "05" in FIG. 4 are received as print data. Therefore, the ticket is cut into stubs by the cutting mechanism 6, the stubs are stored in the stocker 9, and the remaining boarding passes are discharged from the output slot 8.

Furthermore, when there is an error in the flight number, "El" is selected from the data table 18 shown in FIG. 5 to display that the flight number is in error. The ticket inserted from input slot 3 is then inserted into that input slot.
Ejected from slot 3.

Furthermore, if there is an error on the boarding date, "B2" is selected from the data table 18 shown in FIG. 5 to display that the date is in error. The ticket inserted from input slot 3 is then ejected from input slot 3.

In addition, if only a boarding pass is issued, the fifth
"B1" is selected from the data table 18 shown in the figure,
Moreover, r P 1ease Take 0utJ is displayed and the paper is ejected from the output slot.

In this way, the inserted ticket is determined to be encoded, and the printed or displayed contents are sent from the host computer 16 to the automatic ticket gate machine 1 via the communication section 15, and the ticket is printed and displayed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides an automatic ticket gate machine equipped with a determination means for determining the encoding of an inserted ticket with magnetic tape, a printing section, and a display section, and an automatic ticket inspection machine that includes a determination means for determining the encoding of a ticket with magnetic tape inserted therein, a printing section, and a display section; Since it is composed of a host computer that transmits display contents and a communication section that connects this host computer and the automatic ticket gate,
The printed content or displayed content is transmitted from the host computer to the ticket automatic ticket gate via the communication section based on the determination result by the determination means, thereby making it possible to provide flexibility and high quality to the printed content or displayed content. It has the effect of
