Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a route display method in a commuter pass printing and issuing machine capable of issuing a commuter pass that allows transit through a plurality of routes and their associated connecting stations.

In the conventional method of displaying routes on commuter pass issuing machines, the staff (
When the operator inputs the departure and destination stations into the device by operating so-called illuminated pushbutton switches (hereinafter simply referred to as display buttons), possible routes between them are automatically displayed.

However, if this type of conventional commuter pass issuing machine were to be able to issue so-called connecting commuter passes that pass through multiple lines and connecting stations, the number of possible routes would become extremely large. In this case, the method of displaying the selection transit stations is a major problem.

For example, in the case of the route system shown in Figure 1, there are dozens of possible routes from station a on company A line to station f on company C line, and if you try to display this with the display button, A number (several tens) of display buttons corresponding to the number of possible routes must be provided.

In the above case, the shortest course is [g-h-b- to-m-d-
e-pr], and there is a way to only sell them through this route, but in the case of commuter passes, there are customer preferences, so it is not possible to limit the route too much.

Therefore, when there are a large number of contact lines (routes), the conventional route display method requires an enormous number of route display buttons, making it impractical.

Additionally, along with this, a large-capacity memory is required to store route information.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to increase the number of display buttons related to routes in a commuter pass issuing machine that can issue connecting commuter passes via multiple routes and connecting stations. It is an object of the present invention to provide a route display method in a commuter pass issuing machine that can significantly reduce the number of routes, facilitate the route selection operation, and significantly reduce the capacity of a memory for storing route information.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, to explain this invention in detail, buttons related to transit display are provided separately for each line, for example, a transit display button within each company line, and a connecting station display button between each company line, and these display buttons are used to display the departure station. The information is automatically displayed sequentially from the side and the selection is made each time it is displayed, thereby significantly reducing the number of eggs involved in transit display.

Next, using the route system diagram in Figure 1 above as an example,
A specific explanation will be given with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
Figure 2 shows an example of the arrangement of display buttons on the operation panel.
are display button groups for departure and destination stations, station name display button group 11A for company A line, station name display button group 11B for company B line, and C
It consists of a group of station name display buttons 11C for the company line.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a group of display buttons related to so-called transit display, such as the transit display buttons within each company line and the connecting station display buttons between each company line, as described above.

Further, FIG. 3 shows an example of the arrangement of the display button group 12 in FIG. 2, and 13A is a row of transit display buttons (g-h) within the company's own line, that is, company A line.

(g-i-j-h) y (g-h-j) y (g-i-j)
.

13B is a row of transit display buttons (k-l-m) and (k-m) on the first other line, that is, the 8th company line, which connects with the company A line.

(n), 13C is a row of transit display buttons (o-q-r), (.

p-r), (p-o-q-r], (p-r).

141 is the first connecting station display button row (b), (C) indicating the connecting station between Company A Line and Company 8 Line, and 142 is the connecting station between Company 8 Line and Company C Line. 2 connecting station display button rows (d), (e)
It is.

Therefore, in the route system diagram in Figure 1, the departure station is station a,
To explain the route display method using an example where the destination station is f station, operate the display button group 11 for the departure station and destination station,
By inputting station a (display button for departure station) from display button group 11A and station f (display button for destination station) from display button group 11C, first the name of the connecting station between company A line and company line 8 is input. 1st to show
A connecting station display button row 141 (B station and C station) is displayed in a lit state.

As the first connecting station from this displayed button, for example, b
Once a station is selected, the next button is to display a possible route on the company A line between the previously input station a and the currently selected station b (for example, gh station and g-i-j-). h station) is displayed by lighting the transit display button row 13A.

When this displayed route is selected (generally, the button for gh station, which is the shortest course, is often selected), the second connecting station display button row 142 (stations d and e) lights up. Is displayed.

If, for example, station d is selected as the next connecting station from this displayed button, the next possible route within the 8 company lines between the previously selected station b and the currently selected station d will be displayed. Button (
For example, ni-tm station and ni-m station) are route display button row 13
Displayed by lighting B, the desired route, for example -
The button for station m is selected.

After selecting this display button row 13B, display buttons (for example, o-q-
r station and opr station) are displayed by the route display button row 13C, and the desired route is selected from the displayed plurality of routes, thereby moving from the departure station (a station) to the destination station (f station ) and the associated input operations are completed.

By using this route display method and the route selection means that accompany this display, when displaying issuance of connecting commuter passes via multiple lines and connecting stations, when multiple routes are possible, it is possible to There is no need to provide a large number of display buttons that can display all routes, and it is sufficient to simply provide buttons to display connecting stations between each route and buttons to display routes within each selected route, which greatly reduces the number of display buttons. In addition to this, the selection operation becomes significantly easier, and the efficiency of commuter pass issuance processing operations can be significantly improved.This becomes more noticeable as the number of routes that can be issued increases. .

In addition, although the above embodiment has been explained using a commuter pass issuing machine that displays routes using a display button, the present invention is not limited to this, and can easily be used in a commuter pass issuing machine that displays routes using a display device, for example. In addition, there is no need to provide buttons that display all possible routes within each route in the route display button row; for example, one display button can be used instead of several routes, or The display button structure may be such that only the most common route is displayed using a display button, and other input means are used for other routes, and various applications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, in a commuter pass printing and issuing machine that can issue a commuter pass that allows transit through a plurality of routes and associated connecting stations, display buttons related to routes are sequentially displayed. By adopting a display method that requires a user to make a selection each time the route is displayed, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of routes involved, the route selection operation is easy, the efficiency of commuter pass issuance work is improved, and the route can be memorized. It is possible to provide a route display method in a commuter pass printing and issuing machine that can reduce the memory capacity.
