  Hereinafter, the automatic ticket gate will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  Station service equipment such as ticket vending machines, ticket gates, and checkout machines installed at railway stations constitutes a station service system. The station service system performs various station service processes in transportation such as railways. Each station service device can allow a user to use a railway organization by processing an admission ticket, a commuter pass, and a boarding ticket (collectively referred to as a boarding ticket).

1 and 2 show an example of an automatic ticket gate 100 according to an embodiment.
Each station service device including the automatic ticket gate 100 receives both or one of a ticket (IC ticket) 1 composed of an IC card or the like and a ticket (magnetic ticket) 2 composed of a magnetic ticket or the like. It has a function to process. Note that the IC ticket may be built into a mobile phone or the like possessed by the user.

  The IC ticket 1 includes an antenna and an IC chip. The IC chip of the IC ticket 1 includes a memory. This memory stores, for example, ticket information such as identification information, remaining amount information, and boarding / exiting history.

  This identification information is information unique to the IC card. The identification information is information for causing the station service device to identify the IC card. The remaining amount information is information indicating the amount of money that can be used for payment. The boarding / exiting history is information indicating the history of boarding and getting off, which is recorded when a ticket gate is received.

  The magnetic ticket 2 includes a magnetic layer. The magnetic ticket 2 stores ticket information such as money amount information, information indicating a boardable section, ticket identification information, and the like in the magnetic layer.

  This identification information is information unique to the magnetic ticket. The identification information is information for causing the station service device to identify the magnetic ticket. The amount information is information indicating the amount of the magnetic ticket. The information indicating the section in which the boarding is possible is information indicating the section of the station that can be used by the magnetic ticket 2. When the money amount information is stored in the magnetic layer, the automatic ticket checker 100 determines whether the user can pass based on the boarding section and the money amount information. In addition, when information indicating a boardable section is stored in the magnetic layer, the automatic ticket gate 100 determines whether or not the user can pass based on the boarding section and information indicating the boardable section.

  Each station service device operates based on control of a monitoring panel installed at each station, for example. The monitoring panel manages the operation status and operation data of each station service device.

  The ticket vending machine generates ticket information based on an operation input by the user, and issues the IC ticket 1 or the magnetic ticket 2 using the generated ticket information. The settlement machine calculates the amount of transfer and the like based on the IC ticket 1 or the magnetic ticket 2 possessed by the user and performs the settlement process.

  The automatic ticket gate 100 is installed at a ticket gate of a station. The automatic ticket gate 100 performs a ticket gate process based on information acquired from a ticket held by the user at the ticket gate. Thereby, the automatic ticket gate 100 determines whether or not the user can pass.

  Each station service device is also installed at a plurality of stations on the route, and the entire station service system is configured. In such a station service system, each station performs a service related to entry into or out of the station for a user by using each station service device.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the automatic ticket gate 100 includes a magnetic ticket processing unit 110, an IC card processing unit 120, a main control unit 130, a door control unit 140, a door 150, a display unit 160, and a main body 170. Prepare. The magnetic ticket processing unit 110, the IC card processing unit 120, the main control unit 130, the door control unit 140, the display unit 160, and the main body 170 are connected to each other via, for example, a bus.

  The magnetic ticket processing unit 110 performs processing on the magnetic ticket 2 possessed by the user. The magnetic ticket processing unit 110 includes a capturing unit that captures the magnetic ticket 2, a transport unit that transports the captured magnetic ticket 2, and a magnetic header that detects magnetism from the magnetic ticket 2 being transported. The magnetic ticket processing unit 110 acquires the ticket information from the magnetic layer of the magnetic ticket 2 and transmits the acquired ticket information to the main control unit 130.

  For example, when the user enters the station, the magnetic ticket processing unit 110 records the entrance information on the magnetic layer of the magnetic ticket 2 to be inserted based on the control of the main control unit 130. Further, when the user participates from the station premises, the magnetic ticket processing unit 110 records the participation information in the magnetic layer of the magnetic ticket 2 to be inserted based on the control of the main control unit 130.

  The IC card processing unit 120 performs processing on the IC ticket 1 possessed by the user. The IC card processing unit 120 includes a transmission / reception unit. The transmission / reception unit includes, for example, an antenna. The transmission / reception unit performs wireless communication with the IC ticket 1 using an antenna. The transmission / reception unit detects the IC ticket 1 existing within a range (a transmission / reception possible area) where radio waves radiated from the antenna reach. The transmission / reception unit reads the ticket information from the IC ticket 1 when detecting the IC ticket 1. The IC card processing unit 120 transmits the read ticket information to the main control unit 130.

  When the user enters the station, the IC card processing unit 120 writes the entrance information into the IC ticket 1 based on the control of the main control unit 130. Further, when the user participates from the station premises, the IC card processing unit 120 writes participation information into the IC ticket 1 based on the control of the main control unit 130.

  The main control unit 130 controls the operation of each unit of the automatic ticket gate 100 in an integrated manner. The main control unit 130 makes a traffic determination based on the ticket information. The main control unit 130 controls the door control unit 140 based on the result of the traffic determination. Further, the main control unit 130 controls the display unit 160 to display various guidance on the display unit 160 based on the result of the traffic determination.

  The display unit 160 displays various guides based on the control of the main control unit 130. The display unit 160 includes any one of a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, an organic EL display, and other display devices. For example, the display unit 160 displays whether to pass, the amount indicated by the remaining amount information, the expiration date of the commuter pass, and guidance for guiding the user to the window.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the main control unit 130 includes a CPU 131, a ROM 132, a RAM 133, and a nonvolatile memory 134.

  The CPU 131 performs various arithmetic processes. The CPU 131 performs various processes based on the control program and control data stored in the ROM 132. For example, the CPU 131 performs a passage determination, control of the door control unit 140, and display processing by the display unit 160 by executing a program stored in the ROM 132.

  The ROM 132 is a non-volatile memory that stores a control program and control data for the automatic ticket checker 100 in advance. The RAM 133 is a volatile memory that functions as a working memory. The RAM 133 temporarily stores data being processed by the CPU 131. In addition, the RAM 133 temporarily expands and stores a program executed by the CPU 131.

  The nonvolatile memory 134 is a storage unit that stores programs and data used in processing executed by the CPU 131. The non-volatile memory 134 stores data used for traffic determination, control of the door control unit 140, display processing by the display unit 160, and the like. For example, the nonvolatile memory 134 stores fare data and the like.

  The main control unit 130 makes a traffic determination based on the ticket information acquired by the magnetic ticket processing unit 110 or the IC card processing unit 120 and the fare data stored in the nonvolatile memory 134 or the like.

  For example, the main control unit 130 calculates a withdrawal amount (fare) based on the ticket information read from the IC ticket 1 or the magnetic ticket 2. The ticket information further includes information (history information) indicating a history such as the entrance information and the entry information. Based on this history information, the main control unit 130 determines the validity of past entry information and entry information, and calculates a fare if it is determined to be valid. The main control unit 130 holds, for example, a table in which the entry station, the entry station, and the amount are associated with each other in the nonvolatile memory 134, and calculates a fare based on the table.

  Further, the main control unit 130 compares the calculated fare with the remaining amount information of the ticket information, and determines whether the user can pass based on the comparison result. That is, the main control unit 130 determines that the user can pass if the amount indicated by the remaining amount information is equal to or greater than the calculated fare.

  When the traffic determination is possible, the main control unit 130 rewrites the ticket information of the IC ticket 1. That is, the main control unit 130 rewrites the amount obtained by subtracting the calculated fare from the amount of the remaining amount information stored in the IC ticket 1 as new remaining amount information.

  Further, when the traffic determination is impossible, the main control unit 130 transmits a control signal (close signal) to the door control unit 140 so as to close the door 150. The door control unit 140 controls the user's passage by controlling opening and closing of the door 150. The door control unit 140 includes a door opening / closing mechanism (not shown) that controls opening / closing of the door 150. The door control unit 140 controls the opening / closing of the door 150 based on the presence / absence of a closing signal from the main control unit 130. When the door control unit 140 receives a close signal from the main control unit 130, the door control unit 140 closes the door 150 by operating a motor of a door opening / closing mechanism.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the door 150 is installed on the side surface of the main body 170 of the automatic ticket gate 100. Usually, a plurality of automatic ticket gates 100 are installed in parallel at the ticket gate. For this reason, at least one passage is formed by the main bodies 170 of the plurality of automatic ticket gates 100. The door 150 opens and closes to block this passage.

  The door control unit 140 has a plurality of torque limit (torque value) settings when the door 150 is closed. The torque value indicates the value of the moment of force around the rotation axis of the door 150. That is, as the torque limit is higher, the door 150 is closed with a stronger force.

  The door control unit 140 recognizes the open / closed state of the door 150 by a plurality of switches installed on the door 150. The door 150 includes a first switch 151, a second switch 152, and a third switch 153. The first switch 151, the second switch 152, and the third switch 153 are switched ON / OFF depending on the open / closed state of the door 150.

  For example, when the door 150 is fully open, the first switch 151 is turned off, the second switch 152 is turned off, and the third switch 153 is turned on. For this reason, the door control unit 140 confirms that the door 150 is fully open when the first switch 151 is OFF, the second switch 152 is OFF, and the third switch 153 is ON. Can be recognized.

  For example, when the door 150 is completely closed, the first switch 151 is turned off, the second switch 152 is turned on, and the third switch 153 is turned off. Therefore, the door control unit 140 confirms that the door 150 is completely closed when the first switch 151 is OFF, the second switch 152 is ON, and the third switch 153 is OFF. Can be recognized.

  For example, when the door 150 is in the middle of an opening / closing operation, the first switch 151 is turned on, the second switch 152 is turned off, and the third switch 153 is turned off. Therefore, the door control unit 140 indicates that the door 150 is in the middle of an opening / closing operation when the first switch 151 is ON, the second switch 152 is OFF, and the third switch 153 is OFF. Can be recognized.

  The door 150 also includes a pressure detection unit 154 that detects pressure applied to the door 150 when the door 150 is completely closed or when the door 150 is in the middle of an opening / closing operation. The pressure detection unit 154 detects whether or not pressure is applied to the door 150 based on, for example, the rotational speed of the shaft of the motor that opens and closes the door 150 or another method. The pressure detection unit 154 transmits the detection result to the main control unit 130.

  The main control unit 130 controls the door control unit 140 to switch the control method for opening and closing the door 150 based on ON / OFF of the first to third switches and the detection result of the pressure detection unit 154.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the operation of the automatic ticket gate 100.
The automatic ticket checker 100 normally maintains the door 150 in an open state (step S11). That is, the door control unit 140 of the automatic ticket checker 100 waits for an operation for closing the door 150 (step S12).

  Here, for example, it is assumed that the traffic determination by the main control unit 130 is performed. In the traffic determination, the main control unit 130 controls the door control unit 140 to close the door 150 when it is determined that traffic is not possible. In this case, the door control unit 140 operates a motor of a door opening / closing mechanism so as to close the door 150.

  In this example, the door control unit 140 will be described as closing the door 150 using one of the first torque value and the second torque value. The first torque value is an initial value and is a torque value used for normal operation. The second torque value is a value lower than the first torque value, and is a torque value used at a certain timing. That is, when the second torque value is used, the door 150 is closed with a weaker force than when the first torque value is used.

  When starting the operation of closing the door 150, the main control unit 130 sequentially determines whether or not the second switch 152 has been turned on (step S13). Further, the main control unit 130 sequentially sets the torque value of the door 150 until the second switch 152 is turned on (step S14).

FIG. 4 shows a process for setting the torque value of the automatic ticket gate 100. That is, FIG. 4 shows details of the processing in step S14.
As shown in FIG. 4, when setting the torque value, the main control unit 130 first determines whether or not the automatic ticket gate 100 is operating in the operation mode (step S1401). For example, the main control unit 130 determines whether the automatic ticket gate 100 is in an operation mode used by a normal user or a maintenance mode used by an inspector who checks the automatic ticket gate 100.

  When the automatic ticket gate 100 is in the operation mode, the main control unit 130 determines whether or not the pressure is detected by the pressure detection unit 154 (step S1402). For example, the pressure detection unit 154 determines that pressure is applied to the door 150 when the rotation speed of the shaft of the motor that opens and closes the door 150 is less than the reference speed.

  When the main control unit 130 determines that the pressure is detected by the pressure detection unit 154, the main control unit 130 counts the time during which pressure is applied to the door 150. The main control unit 130 determines whether or not the counted time is equal to or greater than a preset time T1 (step S1403).

  When the application of pressure to the door 150 continues for time T1 or longer, the main control unit 130 turns on the lock flag (step S1404). The lock flag is information indicating the presence or absence of a person or an object in contact with the door 150. Based on ON / OFF of the lock flag, main controller 130 recognizes whether or not pressure is applied to door 150 for time T1 or more.

  That is, when the lock flag is ON, the main control unit 130 recognizes that the pressure is applied for a predetermined time T1 or more. When the lock flag is OFF, it is recognized that no pressure is applied for a predetermined time.

  Further, the main control unit 130 sets the torque value of the door control unit 140 to the second torque value (step S1405). That is, when the pressure is applied to the door 150 for a predetermined time or longer, the main control unit 130 controls the door control unit 140 so as to set the torque value when the door 150 is opened and closed low. Accordingly, the closing force of the door 150 can be weakened while a person or an object is in contact with the door 150. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user who uses the automatic ticket gate 100 from falling by contacting the door 150.

  After setting the torque value to the second torque value, the main control unit 130 proceeds to step S13 shown in FIG. That is, the main control unit 130 sequentially executes the flow shown in FIG. 4 until the second switch 152 is turned on. Thereby, when a person etc. contact the door 150, the torque value of the door 150 can be reduced.

  In step S1403, when the time during which pressure is applied to the door 150 is less than the time T1, the main control unit 130 turns off the lock flag (step S1406). Further, the main control unit 130 proceeds to step S13 shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S1402 that the pressure is not detected by the pressure detector 154, the main controller 130 turns off the lock flag (step S1407). Further, the main control unit 130 determines whether or not the torque value used for the operation of the door 150 is the first torque value (step S1408). When the torque value used for the operation of the door 150 is the first torque value, the main control unit 130 proceeds to step S13 shown in FIG.

  When the torque value used for the operation of the door 150 is not the first torque value, that is, when it is the second torque value, the main control unit 130 sets the second torque value in the door control unit 140. Then, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time has been equal to or longer than a preset time T2 (step S1409). When the elapsed time after setting the second torque value in the door control unit 140 is less than the preset time T2, the main control unit 130 proceeds to step S13 shown in FIG.

  When the elapsed time after setting the second torque value in the door control unit 140 is equal to or longer than the preset time T2, the main control unit 130 sets the torque value of the door control unit 140 to the first torque value. (Step S1410). That is, the main control unit 130 sets the second torque value for the time T2 in the door control unit 140, and then returns to the first torque value. Thereby, the automatic ticket gate 100 can be returned to a normal state. After setting the first torque value in the door control unit 140, the main control unit 130 proceeds to step S13 shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S1401 that the automatic ticket gate 100 is not in the operation mode, the main control unit 130 turns off the lock flag (step S1411), and sets the first torque value in the door control unit 140 ( Step S1412). After setting the first torque value in the door control unit 140, the main control unit 130 proceeds to step S13 shown in FIG. Thereby, for example, when the automatic ticket gate 100 operates in the inspection mode or the like, the torque value of the door 150 can be maintained at the first torque value that is a standard.

  If it is determined in step S13 shown in FIG. 3 that the second switch 152 has been turned ON, the main control unit 130 maintains the door 150 in a closed state (step S15). The door control unit 140 of the automatic ticket gate 100 waits for an operation to open the door 150 (step S16). The main control unit 130 opens the door 150 when a predetermined time elapses after the door 150 is closed, or when it is detected that a person has passed by a sensor (not shown) installed in the main body of the automatic ticket gate 100. The door control unit 140 is controlled.

  The door control unit 140 operates a motor of a door opening / closing mechanism so as to open the door 150 based on the control of the main control unit 130. When starting the operation of opening the door 150, the main control unit 130 sequentially determines whether or not the third switch 153 is turned on (step S17). Further, the main control unit 130 sequentially sets the torque value of the door 150 until the third switch 153 is turned on (step S18).

  The operation in step S18 is the same as that in step S14. That is, the main control unit 130 sequentially sets the torque value used for the operation of the door 150 by executing the processing shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S18 that the third switch 153 is turned on, the main control unit 130 proceeds to step S11. As a result, the automatic ticket gate 100 enters a state of waiting for the operation of closing the door 150.

  As described above, the automatic ticket checker 100 according to the present embodiment controls the door control unit 140 to set a low torque value when the door 150 is opened and closed when pressure is applied to the door 150 for a predetermined time or more. . Accordingly, the closing force of the door 150 can be weakened while a person or an object is in contact with the door 150. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user who uses the automatic ticket gate 100 from falling by contacting the door 150. As a result, it is possible to provide a safer automatic ticket checker and an automatic ticket checker control method.

  In the above-described embodiment, the automatic ticket gate 100 is described as a configuration in which the ticket information is read from the IC ticket 1 or the magnetic ticket 2 and the passage determination is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The automatic ticket gate 100 may be configured to technically read a two-dimensional code from a ticket on which the ticket information is printed as a two-dimensional code, and acquire the ticket information based on the read image.

  Furthermore, the ticket information may be configured to further include information indicating that the person is a disabled person, information indicating that the person is younger than a predetermined age, or other predetermined information. The automatic ticket checker 100 may be configured to operate the door 150 with a weaker torque value when the predetermined information is included in the ticket information.

  In the above embodiment, the automatic ticket checker 100 has been described as operating the door 150 using either the first torque value or the second torque value. However, the automatic ticket checker 100 is configured to set another torque value. It may be.

  As described above, when the ticket information includes predetermined information, the main control unit 130 operates the door 150 with the third torque value lower than the first torque value. Further, when detecting that pressure is applied to the door 150 in this state, the main control unit 130 operates the door 150 with a fourth torque value lower than the second torque value. Thereby, the automatic ticket gate 100 can control the torque value which operates the door 150 according to a user. As a result, it is possible to provide a safer automatic ticket checker and an automatic ticket checker control method.

  It should be noted that the functions described in the above embodiments are not limited to being configured using hardware, but can be realized by causing a computer to read a program describing each function using software. Each function may be configured by appropriately selecting either software or hardware.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. Further, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the embodiment.
