Next, an operation screen displayed on the display unit 10 of the commuter pass issuing machine 1 will be described.
The commuter pass issuing machine 1 according to the present embodiment can display a plurality of types of operation screens according to various display settings. For example, the HDD 23 stores display data of an operation screen corresponding to various display settings. The main control unit 21 causes the display unit 10 to display an operation screen corresponding to the display setting based on the display data stored in the HDD 23. For example, the standard operation screen is designed so that each operation screen can be displayed in the display area of the display unit 10. On the other hand, as display settings other than the standard settings, one that enlarges or reduces a part or all of the operation screen, one that changes the layout, and the like are set. The display setting may be set according to age, or may be set according to the preference of each operator.

3 to 6 are first to fourth display examples of the operation screen displayed on the display unit 10.
FIG. 3 is a display example of the operation screen in the standard setting. The standard setting operation screen shown in FIG. 3 is designed so that it can be displayed entirely within the displayable area (one screen) of the display unit 10. The example of the standard setting operation screen shown in FIG. 3 has three regions R1, R2, and R3 for each type of information to be displayed.

  The region R1 is a region for displaying information (input information) input by the operator's input operation as text or the like. For example, in the area R1, information necessary for issuing a commuter pass, such as the type of commuter pass, period, departure station, arrival station, valid period, name, date of birth, telephone number, issue date, etc., has already been entered. Information is displayed.

  The area R2 is an area for displaying an instruction button (station button) or the like for instructing a station (a station where a commuter pass is issued, a destination station, or via). The station button displayed in area | region R2 is comprised with the icon which displayed the station name which can be selected with the touch panel as the operation part 11, for example. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a station button is displayed on the route map in the region R2. In the area R2, station buttons may be displayed as a list.

  The region R3 is a region where various operation buttons are displayed. For example, in the region R3, a start button for instructing start of issuing a commuter pass after the input of information for issuing a commuter pass is completed is displayed.

FIG. 4 is a second display example of the operation screen in which the operation screen shown in FIG. 3 is enlarged.
The operation screen shown in FIG. 4 has areas R1 ′, R2 ′, and R3 ′ that enlarge and display the areas R1, R2, and R3 shown in FIG.
In the area R1 ′ shown in FIG. 4, an enlarged display content of the area R1 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the text indicating the input information is displayed in the region R1 ′ in a state where the text is enlarged from the region R1 in FIG.

  In the region R2 ′ shown in FIG. 4, an enlarged display content of the region R2 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the enlarged region R2 of FIG. 3 is displayed in the region R2 ′ within a displayable range. A portion that cannot be displayed in the region R2 'can be displayed by scrolling the screen. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a mark 41 for instructing to scroll the display screen of the region R2 ′ in the horizontal direction and a mark 42 for instructing to scroll the display screen of the region R2 ′ in the vertical direction are in the region R2 ′. Is displayed.

  In the area R3 ′ shown in FIG. 4, an enlarged display content of the area R3 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, a screen obtained by enlarging the region R3 in FIG. 3 is displayed in the region R3 ′ within a displayable range. A portion that cannot be displayed in the region R3 ′ can be displayed by scrolling the screen. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a mark 43 for instructing to scroll the display screen of the region R3 ′ in the horizontal direction and a mark 44 for instructing to scroll the display screen of the region R3 ′ in the vertical direction are in the region R3 ′. Is displayed.

  In the operation screen shown in FIG. 4, the areas R1, R2, and R3 in the standard operation screen shown in FIG. 3 are enlarged and displayed. For this reason, in FIG. 4, the information displayed in each area | region R1 ', R2', R3 'is easy to visually recognize. However, in FIG. 4, not all information can be displayed on one screen, so an operation of scrolling the screen as necessary may be required. For this reason, if it is assumed that visual acuity tends to decrease with age, the second display example shown in FIG. 4 may be a display setting for an operator with a high age as a display setting for each age.

FIG. 5 is a third display example of the operation screen in which a part of the area shown in FIG. 3 is enlarged.
The area R1 ′ shown in FIG. 5 displays an enlarged view of the main part of the area R1 in FIG. 3 in the same manner as the area R1 ′ in FIG. Regions R2 and R3 shown in FIG. 5 have the same display contents as the regions R2 and R3 shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 5 displays the areas R2 and R3 for displaying various buttons with the standard settings while displaying the enlarged area R1 for displaying the input information, as compared with the standard setting operation screen shown in FIG. It is an operation screen.

  That is, the operation screen of FIG. 5 can display all the various buttons on one screen while improving the visibility of the input information by the enlarged display. That is, in FIG. 5, the display size of each button is the same as the operation screen (standard setting) shown in FIG. 3, and all the buttons are displayed on one screen, so that there is no need to scroll the screen and the operation is good. The screen can be displayed. The operation screen shown in FIG. 5 is considered to be a display setting suitable for an operator who wants to improve the visibility of input information without degrading the operability of buttons, for example.

FIG. 6 is a fourth display example of the operation screen in which the layout of some areas shown in FIG. 3 is changed.
FIG. 6 is obtained by switching the display positions of the region R1 and the region R2 shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 6 is an operation screen in which the area R1 for displaying input information is displayed on the lower side and displayed on the upper side of the button group screen for selecting a station, as compared with the standard setting operation screen shown in FIG. . The operation screen shown in FIG. 6 is considered to be a display setting suitable for an operator who wants to perform button operations at the top of the screen and confirm input information at the bottom of the screen.

  Note that the operation screen shown in FIG. 6 may be set as standard, and the operation screen shown in FIG. 3 may be set as display settings for elderly operators. In this case, an old operator is provided with an operation screen that allows button operations to be performed at the bottom of the screen so that the action of raising the arm can be reduced. An operation screen can be provided in which input information can be confirmed at the bottom of the screen while being performed at the top.

  The display settings for the operation screen are not limited to the first to fourth display examples described above. For example, the display setting may provide an operation screen in which the arrangement of each button is changed with respect to the standard operation screen, or an operation screen in which the display color of each information is changed. Alternatively, an operation screen in which the font type of the text to be displayed is changed may be provided.

Next, the operation of the commuter pass issuing machine 1 configured as described above will be described.
First, a first operation example in the commuter pass issuing machine 1 will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining a first operation example in the commuter pass issuing machine 1.
First, an operator who performs a commuter ticket issuing operation performs an operation of starting the commuter pass issuing machine 1 such as turning on the power. The main control unit 21 of the commuter pass issuing machine 1 performs activation processing according to the activation instruction of the operator.

  When the commuter pass issuing machine 1 is activated (step S1, YES), the main control unit 21 receives an input of authentication information from the operation unit 11 (step S2). For example, the main control unit 21 may display guidance for requesting input of authentication information on the display unit 10 to prompt the input of authentication information. The authentication information may be an authentication code input by the operator, or may be information read from a personal authentication card (for example, an IC card) presented by the operator. Here, it is assumed that the operator is authenticated by the authentication code.

  When the authentication information is input (step S3, YES), the main control unit 21 executes an authentication process using the input authentication information (step S4). For example, the main control unit 21 requests the host device 30 for personal authentication together with the input authentication information, and acquires the authentication result from the host device 30. The main control unit 21 determines whether or not the authentication is successful based on the authentication result received from the host device 30 (step S5). When the authentication based on the input authentication information fails (step S5, NO), the main control unit 21 displays an error message indicating the authentication failure on the display unit 10 (step S6). After displaying the error message, the main control unit 21 returns to step S3.

  Further, when the authentication by the input authentication information is successful (step S5, YES), the main control unit 21 acquires the personal information of the operator (step S7). When acquiring the personal information, the main control unit 21 determines the age based on the acquired personal information (step S8). For example, the main control unit 21 acquires the date of birth as information that can determine the age of the operator, and determines the age of the operator from the acquired date of birth.

  When determining the age of the operator, the main control unit 21 determines whether there is a display setting for each age according to the determined age (step S9). For example, as the display setting for each age, the first threshold or more is set as the first age setting, and the second threshold or more that is less than the first threshold and lower than the first threshold is set for the second age. It is good also as a setting and it is good also as a standard setting less than a 2nd threshold value. As a specific example, among the above display examples, the operation screen of FIG. 3 may be set as a standard setting, the operation screen of FIG. 4 may be set as a first age setting, and the operation screen of FIG. 5 may be set as a second age setting. According to such a setting, an operation screen in which information on the entire area is enlarged is provided to an operator who is older than the first threshold, and an operator who is older than the second threshold and older than the second threshold is provided. Can provide an operation screen in which some information is enlarged.

When it is determined that there is no age-specific display setting according to the age of the operator, that is, when it is determined that the age is the standard setting (step S9, NO), the main control unit 21 displays the operation screen in the ticketing process. The setting is a standard setting (step S10).
If it is determined that there is a display setting corresponding to the age of the operator (step S9, YES), the main control unit 21 sets the display setting of the operation screen in the ticketing process to the age-specific setting that matches the age of the operator. (Step S11).

  After the display setting of the operation screen is performed, the main control unit 21 displays the operation screen on the display unit according to the display setting (step S12). The main control unit 21 uses the operation unit 11 to receive information input on the operation screen displayed on the display unit 10. The main control unit 21 sequentially displays the operation screens according to the display settings on the display unit 10 according to the input operation to the operation unit 11 until information necessary for ticketing is obtained. When the input of ticket issuing information is completed on the operation screen according to the display settings displayed sequentially (step S13, YES), the main control unit 21 executes ticket issuing processing based on the input information (step S14).

  For example, when all the information necessary for ticketing is input, the main control unit 21 displays the purchase amount on the display unit 10 and can issue a commuter pass ticketing instruction. For example, the main control unit 21 may accept a commuter ticket issuing instruction by making the start button selectable. When a commuter ticket issuance is instructed, the main control unit 21 determines that the input of commuter ticket issuance information has been completed. The payment of the purchase amount of the commuter pass may be performed after the commuter ticket is issued or may be performed before the commuter ticket is issued.

  According to the first operation example, display setting can be performed according to age, and an operation screen for display setting according to the age of each operator can be provided. For example, many elderly operators who are expected to lose their visual acuity due to age feel that the operability of an operation screen with a larger display size of individual information is good, and many young operators display individual information. It is estimated that the operability of the operation screen on which a lot of information is displayed is good even if the size is small. For this reason, according to the first operation example, an operation screen in which the display size of each piece of information is increased is provided to an old operator, and a large amount of information is displayed to a young operator. The operation of providing information can be realized, and the operability of information input accompanying the ticketing process can be improved.

  In the first operation example described above, the operator's age is determined from the authentication result of the operator, so that each operator can adjust to each operator without inputting an operation instruction such as switching display settings. Display settings can be made. In the first operation example, since display setting can be performed according to the age of the operator, it is not necessary to register display setting information for each individual operator in advance, and display setting according to the personal information of each operator is possible. This can be realized and the operability of information input accompanying the ticketing process can be improved.

  Note that the first operation example can provide an operation screen corresponding to the age as long as the age of the operating person can be determined. For this reason, it can be applied not only to the commuter pass issuing machine corresponding to the staff but also to the automatic commuter pass issuing machine operated by the purchaser himself. For example, when issuing a commuter pass, an automatic commuter pass issuing machine reads information on a commuter pass (old ticket) already owned by the user. The information recorded on the commuter pass includes information on the date of birth. The automatic commuter pass issuing machine may read the date of birth recorded in the old ticket and display an operation screen according to the age determined from the read date of birth in the issuing process of the continuous commuter pass .

Next, a second operation example will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining a second operation example in the commuter pass issuing machine 1.
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, the processing of steps S21 to S26 can be realized by the same processing as that of steps S1 to S6 shown in FIG. For this reason, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted about step S21-S26.

  When the authentication by the input authentication information is successful (step S25, YES), the main control unit 21 acquires display setting information set in association with the operator (step S27). That is, in the second operation example, display setting information can be registered for each operator. The display setting information for each operator is registered and managed by, for example, a database provided in the host device 30. In the present embodiment, the display setting information for each operator is transmitted from the host device 30 to the commuter pass issuing machine 1 when the authentication is successful.

  In the second operation example, individual display setting information is registered in advance in association with authentication information (or personal information) for an operator who wants to perform display settings different from the standard settings. And For example, for an operator who wants to enlarge the operation screen as shown in FIG. 4, individual display setting information for enlarging each area of the operation screen is registered. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, for the operator who wants to enlarge a part of the operation screen, individual display setting information for enlarging the desired area on the operation screen is registered. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, for the operator who wants to change the layout on the operation screen, individual display setting information for changing the layout is registered.

  The individual display setting information is not limited to the display setting as described above, and may be any information that can be individually set by each operator. For example, the individual display setting information may change the display color on the operation screen, or may change the font type of the text to be displayed.

  However, since the commuter pass issuance process includes transactions such as fare settlement, detailed verification work is required to confirm that each operation screen displayed by the commuter pass issuing machine 1 operates correctly. It becomes. For this reason, display settings that change display contents that require verification different from normal verification work in the design of the operation screen may not be performed. For example, the layout change on the operation screen by the display setting may be limited to the change of the display position for each area.

  When acquiring the display setting information of the operator, the main control unit 21 determines whether or not there is individual display setting information (individual setting) for the operator (step S28). The host device 30 registers individual display setting information in advance in association with authentication information (or personal information) for an operator who wants to perform display settings different from the standard settings. The host device 30 performs standard setting (default setting) without registering individual display setting information in association with authentication information (or personal information) for an operator who sets display settings as standard. When the operator authentication is successful, the host device 30 transmits the operator's display setting information (standard setting or information indicating individual setting) to the commuter pass issuing machine 1. Thereby, the main control unit 21 can acquire the display setting information of the operator when the authentication is successful.

When determining that there is no setting (registration) of the individual setting information for the operator (step S28, NO), the main control unit 21 sets the display setting of the operation screen in the ticket issuing process as a standard setting (step S29).
Further, when it is determined that there is a setting (registration) of individual display setting information corresponding to the operator (step S28, YES), the main control unit 21 sets the display setting of the operation screen in the ticket issuing process. The individual setting based on the individual display setting information is set (step S30).

  After performing the display setting for the operation screen, the main control unit 21 displays the operation screen on the display unit 10 according to the display setting (step S31). The main control unit 21 receives information input on the operation screen displayed on the display unit 10, and sequentially displays the operation screen on the display unit 10 according to the input operation to the operation unit 11. When the input of ticketing information is completed on the operation screens that are sequentially displayed (step S32, YES), the main control unit 21 executes ticketing processing based on the input information (step S33).

  According to the second operation example, display setting can be performed for each operator, and an operation screen for display settings registered in advance for each individual operator can be provided. Also, display setting information for each operator who has the authority to operate the commuter pass issuing machine is registered in the host device, and the commuter pass issuing machine acquires the display setting information of the operator who has been successfully authenticated. It is. Thereby, even if it does not perform display setting operation each time each operator performs operation, the operation screen according to each operator's liking can be provided and the operativity of the information input accompanying ticketing processing can be improved.

  The first operation example and the second operation example may be combined. For example, the personal setting based on the personal display setting information may be set as the priority setting, and the display setting for each age may be performed. Thus, it is possible to provide an operation screen based on personal settings for an operator who does not like display settings based on age while providing an operation screen based on age-specific display settings.
