Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an automatic ticket gate installed at a railway station, for example, and more specifically, the required time corresponding to the boarding section of the ticket. The present invention relates to a ticket management device for an automatic ticket gate that can accurately prevent fraudulent acts by making a determination.

(B) Conventional technology In general, for tickets used in automatic ticket gates, the ticket data is read and written by an internal data processing unit when bidding, and when the ticket is issued, the ticket data is checked and processed at the ticket gate. There is.

However, even if a low-value ticket and a commuter pass, or two low-value commuter passes are used separately for bidding and bidding, the fraudulent activity cannot be accurately detected.
Measures to prevent this fraudulent activity have been desired.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention This invention manages the riding time corresponding to the riding section,
To provide a ticket management device for an automatic ticket gate capable of surely preventing ticket fraud.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems This invention is an automatic ticket gate that manages the ticket gate by reading and writing the ticket data of the inserted ticket. A ticket management device for an automatic ticket gate, comprising a writing means for writing and processing bidding data such as entry time, and a determining means for reading the bidding data of the ticket at the time of issuing the ticket and determining whether the entry time corresponding to the boarding section is appropriate. It is.

(E) Effect of the Invention According to this invention, the writing means writes bidding data such as the entry station and entry time on the ticket at the time of bidding, and the determining means reads the bidding data written on the ticket at the time of issuing the ticket and board the ticket. Determine the suitability of the ticket.

(f) Effects of the invention For this reason, when issuing a ticket, the progress of the ride is determined going back to the time of bidding. For example, in the case of fraudulent boarding using two tickets, the riding time corresponds to a riding section of about 1 hour. 8
It is possible to reliably detect fraudulent use of tickets, which is significantly different from the time scale, and provides ticket gate management functions suitable for station operations.

(g) Examples An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an external view of an automatic ticket gate, and there are opening/closing doors 1 for controlling the passage for passengers at the front and rear of the ticket gate main body 11.
2.12, a ticket gate 13 and a ticket outlet 14 are opened at the front and rear positions of the top surface of the ticket gate body, and a ticket gate display that displays information on ticket inspection at a position near the ticket outlet 14. A warning indicator light 17 is provided on the upper surface of the upper frame 16.

Inside the ticket gate main body 11, a ticket gate processing device (not shown) for processing the ticket is provided in a conveyance system connecting the ticket slot 13 and the ticket discharge port 14. To process various types of tickets such as coupon tickets, commuter passes, value cards, and coupon cards.

Figure 2 shows a control circuit block diagram of an automatic ticket gate.
U21 controls each circuit device according to a program stored in ROM22, and stores the control data in RAM23.

The read magnetic head 24 functions to read magnetic data recorded on the ticket.

The write magnetic head 25 functions to write bidding data such as the station of entry and date and time of entry, or payment data such as subtracting valuable data from the price card, onto the ticket.

The confirmation magnetic head 26 functions to read and confirm the data written on the ticket.

The motor M drives the transport system of the internal ticket gate processing device.

By the way, the above-mentioned CPU 21 has a ticket management function that determines the validity of the ticket from the departure station to the entry station at the time of ticket issue.

In this process, first, the write magnetic head 25 writes bidding data for ticket management onto the ticket that is inserted at the time of bidding.

This bidding data includes the "entrance station" at which the passenger boarded and the "entrance date and time" at that time, and is written as bid management data, and at the time of bidding, the boarding time corresponding to the boarding section is calculated from the "exit station" and "exit date and time". Find the time and judge whether this time is appropriate.

As a result, it is possible to clearly determine whether the customer has inserted the wrong ticket or has committed fraud by using two tickets, and if it is determined that there is an abnormality due to fraud, etc., the ticket can be restricted from being used as a fraudulent ticket, and ticket fraud can be prevented. can be prevented.

Next, the bidding processing operation of the automatic ticket gate will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Now, when the passenger at the time of bidding inserts a ticket or commuter pass into the ticket slot 13 (first step nl), when the ticket is inserted, the "boarding station J" boarding date recorded at the time of ticket purchase will be entered. After predetermined valid boarding data such as " is read and written, it is released from the ticket dispensing port 14 (
Second step n2).

Furthermore, when a commuter pass is inserted, the valid boarding data recorded on the commuter pass is read, and the "entrance station" and "admission date and time" at that time are written (third step n3).

Next, the ticket issue processing operation of the automatic ticket gate will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Now, when a passenger inserts a ticket or a commuter pass into the ticket slot 13 (11th step n1l), when the ticket is inserted, the validity data of the ticket is read and the validity of the ticket is checked. If approved, the ticket is collected inside and the opening/closing door 12 is opened, and the ticket issuing process is completed (12th to 14th steps n12 to n14).

Also, when a commuter pass is inserted, the "
The bidding data for boarding station and entry date and time is read, and it is determined whether or not this bidding data is appropriate based on the date and time at the time of entry.If it is within the valid boarding range of the commuter pass, it is determined to be appropriate and the commuter pass is issued. The ticket is released from the ticket outlet 14, the opening/closing door 12 is opened, and one ticket issuing process using the commuter pass is completed (15th to 16th steps n!5 to n16).

In addition, even if the date and time of entry are not appropriate, if a payment ticket corresponding to the excess ride on the commuter pass is inserted, it will be judged as appropriate boarding use and judgment 1, r7 It is allowed to issue a combination of a commuter pass and a ticket ( 17th to 18th steps n+7 to n18).

By the way, in the above-mentioned 13th step n13, if you end up riding too many tickets with only one ticket, if you insert another ticket for payment corresponding to the excess ride, it will be determined that you have used the ride properly. and allow bidding.

In addition, in the above-mentioned 16th step n16, if you ride an excess number of rides with just a commuter pass, if a ticket for payment corresponding to the excess ride is inserted, it will be determined that it is an appropriate ride use and the ticket will be accepted. However, even if you do not insert a ticket equivalent to the excess amount, or use a ticket and commuter pass, or two commuter passes, to board illegally, the validity of the ticket or commuter pass will not be recognized. In this case, for example, if the riding time corresponding to a one-hour riding section for commuting to work or school, etc., significantly differs from about eight hours due to unauthorized use, it is determined that the ride is fraudulent and the bidding is restricted (nineteenth step n19).

As mentioned above, since the boarding process is determined back to the time of bidding at the time of ticket issuance, it is possible to reliably detect that the ticket is fraudulent when boarding an unauthorized ticket, and the ticket gate management function is suitable for station operations. do.

In the correspondence between this invention and the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, the automatic ticket gate of this invention corresponds to the ticket gate main body 11° of the embodiment, and the writing means corresponds to the write magnetic head 25 in the same manner. Although the determining means corresponds to the CPU 21, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.
