Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the simple disappearance of the ticket examination information recorded on a ticket by using the ticket containing a printed bar code. CONSTITUTION:A bar code ticket issuing device 1,000 issues a ticket where the necessary ticket examination information is printed in a bar code. A bar code reader 1,010 of an entry ticket examination device 100 reads optically the bar code printed on the ticket. Then a ticket examination controller 1,020 judges whether the contents of the bar code are accordant with the entry conditions or not. If so, the entry is permitted. On the other hand when a passenger gets out of a ticket, a bar code reader 1,040 of a get-out ticket examination device 200 reads optically the bar code of the ticket. Then a ticket examination controller 1,050 judges whether the contents of the bar code are coincident with the get-out conditions or not. If so, the get-out is permitted. Thus the easy disappearance is prevented for the information recorded on the ticket.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate system that mechanically reads information recorded on a ticket and automatically checks the ticket.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional automatic ticket gate systems of this type use magnetic tickets on which ticket gate information can be recorded magnetically, and the automatic ticket gates are operated by magnetically reading the ticket gate information recorded on the ticket.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In other words, since conventional automatic ticket gate systems use magnetic tickets, for example, if a user accidentally brings the ticket close to a magnet, the ticket gate information recorded on the ticket is easily lost. Automatic ticket gates using that ticket will no longer be possible.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic ticket gate system that solves the problem that information recorded on tickets is easily lost.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a barcode ticket issuing device for issuing a ticket on which a barcode representing ticket gate information is printed, in an automatic ticket gate system that mechanically reads information recorded on a ticket to check the ticket; and a barcode on the ticket. a barcode reading device that optically reads the ticket gate information and outputs a signal of the ticket gate information; and a ticket gate control device that outputs a predetermined control signal for the ticket gate based on the signal of the ticket gate information outputted by the barcode reading device. and an automatic ticket inspection device that performs ticket inspection based on the control signal output from the ticket inspection control device.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an automatic ticket gate system using barcodes according to the present invention. This system is
An entrance ticket gate device 100 for an entrance ticket gate, a hot spring ticket gate device 200 for a hot spring ticket gate, and a barcode ticket issuing device 1
000.

The barcode ticket issuing device 1000 issues a ticket on which a barcode representing ticket gate information such as fare, distance, and station name for each station section is printed according to a predetermined operation by a passenger.

The entrance ticket gate device 100 and the exit ticket gate device 200 each include barcode reading devices 1010 and 1040 that optically read the barcode of a ticket and output a signal of ticket gate information.
, ticket gate control devices 1020 and 1050 that output predetermined control signals for ticket gates based on the ticket gate information signals output by these barcode reading devices; It is composed of automatic ticket gates 1030 and 1060.

Next, the operation will be explained. When a passenger first performs a predetermined operation such as inserting a coin or pressing a fare button on the barcode ticket issuing device 1000, the barcode ticket issuing device 1000
00 issues a ticket with the necessary ticket gate information printed in a barcode.

Next, when the passenger inserts this ticket into the barcode reader 1010 of the entrance ticket gate device 100 for admission, the reader 1
010 optically reads the barcode of the ticket and outputs a signal representing ticket gate information represented by the barcode.

The ticket gate control device 1020 determines whether or not this signal conforms to the entry conditions, and if so, outputs a control signal to allow entry to the automatic ticket gate device 1030. Automatic ticket gate 1030 receives this control signal and allows the passenger to pass through the ticket gate.

On the other hand, in order to exit from the ticket gate, the passenger takes the ticket to the hot spring ticket gate device 2.
00 barcode reader 1040, the reader 1040 optically reads the barcode of the ticket,
Outputs a signal for the ticket gate information represented by the barcode. The ticket gate control device 1050 determines whether or not this signal conforms to the hot water supply conditions, and if so, outputs a control signal to the automatic ticket gate device 1060 to enable hot water supply. The automatic ticket gate 1060 receives and accepts this control signal and allows the passenger to pass through the ticket gate.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a barcode ticket issuing device that issues a ticket on which a barcode representing ticket gate information is printed, in an automatic ticket gate system that mechanically reads information recorded on a ticket to check the ticket. A barcode reading device that optically reads the barcode on a ticket and outputs a ticket gate information signal, and a ticket gate that outputs a predetermined control signal for the ticket gate based on the ticket gate information signal output by the barcode reading device. It is equipped with a control device and an automatic ticket inspection device that performs ticket inspection based on a control signal output from the ticket inspection control device.

In other words, in the barcode-based automatic ticket gate system of the present invention, a ticket with a barcode printed on it is used instead of a conventional magnetic ticket, so the ticket gate information recorded on the ticket as in the past is easily lost. There is no such thing.
