Next, the ticket collection processing operation of the automatic ticket gate apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. A customer having a magnetic ticket M enters the ticket gate 12 and enters the magnetic ticket M into the entrance 14 on the entry side of the base 11.
When the first magnetic ticket sensor S1 detects this, the magnetic ticket processing control unit 33 starts the operation in a subroutine, and executes the validity / invalidity determination processing of the magnetic ticket M (steps n1 and n2).

Further, the customer carrying the contactless ticket T enters the ticket gate 12 and the contactless ticket T enters the contactless ticket transmittable area 23 on the entry side of the base 11 to make the first contactless ticket. When the ticket sensor H1 detects this, the contactless ticket processing control unit 34
Starts the operation in a subroutine, and executes the validity / invalidity determination processing of the non-contact ticket T (steps n3 and n4).

The above steps n2 and n4 are performed when the passengers enter the ticket gate aisle 12 at a distance from each other, and can perform each processing independently. After entering the passage 12, especially the interval between the customer of the magnetic ticket M and the contactless ticket T is too narrow, and the human sensors N1, N2 in the ticket collection passage 12 detect the magnetic ticket M.
And a case where the operation is performed prior to the detection of the non-contact ticket T.

In the case of such simultaneous entry, if the magnetic ticket M and the non-contact ticket T do not match the users of the respective tickets, erroneous opening / closing control of the gate door 13 may be performed. When such simultaneous entry is detected, it is necessary to determine the order of entry of the passengers, and if the determination of the validity / invalidity of each ticket is not performed at the same time, the validity determination of one of the passengers is also incorrect. It can be something.

As described above, the human sensor N1 detects the simultaneous entry of the customer, and further, the magnetic ticket M and the non-contact ticket T
Is detected and the input state is detected (step n).
5) The second solenoid 21 is driven to pool the magnetic ticket M by projecting the pool piece 20 in the transport path 16 of the magnetic ticket M (step n6).

Thereafter, the validity / invalidity determination processing of the magnetic ticket M and the non-contact ticket T is performed in parallel, and when the input of the magnetic ticket M is determined, the magnetic ticket processing control unit 33 starts the operation in a subroutine. , The validity / invalidity determination process of the magnetic ticket M is executed (steps n7 and n8). When the input of the non-contact ticket T is determined, the non-contact ticket processing control unit 34 starts the operation in a subroutine, The validity / invalidity determination processing of the contactless ticket T is executed (steps n9 and n10).

When the completion of one of the processes is determined in the above-described determination process (step n11), the order of input of the tickets, that is, the preceding determination of the tickets is performed (step n12). This determination is made under the following conditions. That is, 1. When determining that the magnetic ticket M is preceding, first, after the human sensor N1 detects the entry of two persons, a. Prior to the detection of the non-contact ticket T, the first magnetic ticket sensor S1
Detects that the magnetic ticket M has been inserted, b. After the first non-contact ticket sensor H1 detects the non-contact ticket T first, the first magnetic ticket sensor S1 detects the insertion of the magnetic ticket M, and further, the movement of the customer is detected by the human sensors N1 to N3. Is a non-contact ticket T based on the first non-contact ticket sensor H1.
Is not established, c. Even if the first magnetic ticket sensor S1 detects the insertion of the magnetic ticket M and detects the movement of the customer from the human sensor N1 to N4 while the transmission of the non-contact ticket T is established, 1. When the contact ticket T does not move from the first contactless ticket sensor H1 to the second contactless ticket sensor H2, When it is determined that the contactless ticket T is preceding, d. 2. When the transmission of the contactless ticket T is established based on the first and second contactless ticket sensors H1 and H2 other than the patterns a, b, and c described above. Determination of no ticket, e. The pattern a. b. c. At times other than d, the input order of the tickets is determined under the above conditions (step n1).
2).

When the preceding of the magnetic ticket M is determined in the above-mentioned determination, the completion of the processing of the magnetic ticket M is checked (step n13), and then the second solenoid 21 is driven to release the pool of the magnetic ticket M once. Is stopped, the pool piece 20 is retreated, and the magnetic ticket M is discharged to the discharge port 15 (step n14). Based on the determination result of the validity / invalidity of the magnetic ticket M, the gate door control unit 35 opens and closes the gate door 13. The control is executed, and guidance is provided on the display 24 based on the determination result of the customer (step n15).

When the preceding of the non-contact ticket T is determined in the above-described determination, the completion of the processing of the non-contact ticket T is checked (step n16), and based on the result of the determination of the validity / invalidity of the non-contact ticket T. Then, the gate door control unit 35 controls the opening and closing of the gate door 13 and guides the user on the display 24 based on the determination result (step n17).

Thereafter, if there is a ticket being processed (step n)
18) Returning to step n12, if there is no ticket being processed, the process is terminated.

When the magnetic ticket M and the non-contact ticket T are processed as described above, even if the customer of the magnetic ticket M and the user of the non-contact ticket T approach each other and enter the ticket gate 12, Of the validity of the tickets M and T can be determined, and in the case where only one of them can be performed, the other user inevitably outputs the invalidity determination. This makes it possible to temporarily suspend the traffic of the customer, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of impairing the smoothness of the ticket collection and collection processing and giving the user discomfort.

Further, even if it is determined that the customer of the magnetic ticket M and the user of the non-contact ticket T have entered the ticket gate 12 at the same time, the magnetic ticket M and the non-contact ticket T are determined in advance by step n12. In this way, there is no discrepancy between the customers, and the ticket collection processing can be executed smoothly and smoothly.

Next, steps n2 and n in FIG.
8 will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9.
A magnetic ticket M is inserted into the slot 14, and the first magnetic ticket sensor S
1 detects this (step n21), the sub CPU
Reference numeral 40 controls the drive of the motor 17 via the input / output processing unit 45, and the transport path 16 is driven so that the magnetic ticket M is taken in (step n22). After passing through the sensor S1, the second magnetic ticket sensor S2
Is detected, the completion of the insertion of the magnetic ticket M is determined (step n23), the first solenoid 19 is turned off, the shutter 18 closes the insertion port 14, and the insertion of the next magnetic ticket M is prohibited (step n24). ).

When the third magnetic ticket sensor S3 detects the magnetic ticket M, the magnetic encoding timing is set, and the magnetic head R
11 or R12 reads the encoded data of the magnetic ticket M, the ticket information digitized by the magnetic head processing unit 44 is temporarily stored in the RAM 42, and the sub CPU 40 determines whether the ticket information of the magnetic ticket M is valid or invalid. (Step n25,
n26, n27, n28).

The above-described determination of the ticket information is the validity of the set ticket information such as the boarding section, the validity period, the ticket type, the date, and the like. If the determination is NG, the main CPU 30 via the interface 43 Is transmitted (step n29). If the determination is OK, the magnetic ticket M
Is generated (step n30), encoded on the magnetic ticket M by the magnetic head W11 or W12 (step n31), and then the magnetic head R21 or R22.
To read the encoded data of the update information (step n).
32), the quality of the encoding is checked (step n33).

If the result of the above determination is NG, the result of the NG determination is transmitted to the main CPU 30 (step n2).
9) If the determination is OK, the result of the OK determination is similarly transmitted to the main CPU 30 (step n34).
Then, it waits for transmission of the completion of customer guidance from the main CPU 30 (step n35).

The main CPU 30 executes the gate door control processing and the guidance processing by the display 24 in the processing of step n15 shown in FIG. 7 , and further manages the second solenoid 21 for pooling the magnetic tickets M. When these processes are completed, the main CPU 30 transmits the completion to the sub CPU 40.

When the sub CPU 40 receives the completion of the processing, the magnetic ticket M is discharged to the discharge port 15 and when the fourth magnetic ticket sensor S4 detects the discharge of the magnetic ticket M (step n).

While the non-contact ticket T is not detected by the first non-contact ticket sensor H1, the main CPU 30 executes the guidance of the user on the display 24 (steps n41 and n42). Even when the contactless ticket sensor H1 detects the signal, even when the transmission with the transmission processing unit 54 is not established, the display 24 guides the user (step n43, step n43).
n44).

The contactless ticket T arrives at the transmission available area 23,
When the first non-contact ticket sensor H1 detects this and the transmission with the transmission processing unit 54 is established, the sub CPU 50 closes the shutter 18 of the insertion port 14 and prohibits the insertion of the magnetic ticket M (step n45). ) Then, when the ticket information is received by commanding the contactless ticket T to transmit the ticket information, the ticket information is temporarily stored in the RAM 52 (step n46).

Next, the sub CPU 50 determines whether the above-mentioned ticket information is valid or invalid (step n47). This determination of the ticket information is based on the validity of the set ticket information such as the boarding section, the validity period, the ticket type, and the date. If the determination is NG, the NG determination result is transmitted to the main CPU 30 via the interface 53 (step n48), but the determination is OK.
Then, the non-contact ticket T is followed by the second non-contact ticket sensor H
Waiting for the next transmission establishment to be detected in step 2, the display 24 executes the guidance of the user during this time (steps n49, n50, n51, n52).

The above-mentioned second contactless ticket sensor H2 detects the contactless ticket T, detects the movement of the ticket T, and further, when the transmission is established, creates update information for the contactless ticket T. Then, this update information is transmitted to the contactless ticket T side (step n53). The contactless ticket T stores the above-mentioned update information in its PROM.
At the same time as writing to 63, the writing result of whether this writing is OK or NG is transmitted.

When the transmission processing unit 54 receives the writing result from the contactless ticket T (step n5)
4) The writing result is determined (step n55). If the determination result is NG, the process proceeds to step n48, where the NG result is transmitted to the main CPU 30, and the main C
The PU 30 controls the display 24 to display guidance for prohibition of traffic on the display 24 together with the NG determination of the ticket information in step n47 (step n56).

In the above-mentioned determination (step n55), if the writing is OK, the result is transmitted to the main CPU 30 (step n57), and the main CPU 30 controls the display 24 to display guidance for permission of passage (step n58). Thereafter, the sub CPU 50 waits for the transmission of the completion of the customer guidance from the main CPU 30 (step n59).
