[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Table of Contents] Overview Industrial Application Fields Conventional Technology Problems to be Solved by the Invention Means and Effects for Solving the Problems Examples Correspondence between Examples and Figure 1 Structure of the embodiment Operation of the embodiment Summary of the embodiment Modifications of the invention Effects of the invention [Summary] When a ticket issuing device issues a travel ticket such as an airline ticket, for example, when issuing a travel ticket such as an airline ticket, the ticket issuing device side When editing and storing the unedited data so that it can be output item by item, and outputting to a recording medium based on the edited data, the unedited data cannot be received. If detected, data reception by the line control means is prohibited for a predetermined period of time,
It is possible to avoid receiving a large amount of data at once, and while data is being edited and tickets are being issued on the ticket issuing device side, the next unedited data can be received.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device for issuing a series of multiple types of reservation ticket groups such as travel coupons, and in particular, to a ticket issuing device for issuing a series of reservation ticket groups of a plurality of types such as travel coupons. The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device that can perform the following operations.

For example, travel coupons widely used in the travel industry and the like include groups of multiple types of tickets bound in series. Such ticket groups generally consist of multiple reservation tickets, etc., in which the customer makes a reservation for transportation, accommodation, facilities, etc. in advance, and in response,
It is issued by the travel agency and given to the customer before the trip. To issue such groups of tickets, ticket issuing devices that automatically perform printing are used from the standpoint of improving business efficiency.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, ticket issuing devices used in the travel industry use card-shaped tickets to issue various reservation tickets as a series of ticket groups according to reservation details. has been made into 2. Description of the Related Art Currently, airline ticket issuing devices are used as ticket issuing devices in practical use, for example, in those traveling by airplane.

Such an airline ticket issuing device performs necessary printing on card-shaped tickets and issues a total of five types of tickets: itinerary, agent travel coupons, fare travel coupons, necessary airline tickets, and passenger receipts. . Assume that the reservation details are, for example, a travel route from Sapporo to Okinawa via Tokyo, and then back to Sapporo.

In that case, a group of travel coupons given to the customer includes an itinerary as shown in FIG. 8A. Itinerary details such as flights used, accommodations used, and facilities used are printed on this. Additionally, an agent coupon as shown in FIG. B and a charge coupon as shown in FIG. C are attached.
Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9, Sapporo → Haneda, Haneda →
A total of four airline tickets for Okinawa, Okinawa → Haneda, Haneda → Sapporo, and a passenger receipt as shown in Figure 10 are closed to form one set of travel coupons.

There is a system in which each set of travel coupons is printed in sequence and issued. Ticketing devices using such a system can print each ticket in a free and easy-to-read format, compared to a device that prints all kinds of tickets all at once on sheets bound with carbon paper between them. It is possible to issue a variety of flexible tickets.

To print and issue individual tickets like this,
Since the printed content of each ticket is different, conventionally, the first
As shown in FIG. 1, the host copyer 910 that constitutes the reservation system edits the print items of each ticket into the print format of each ticket, and sends the edited print data to the ticket issuing device 920 side. And ticket issuing device 9
In 20, the edited print data of each ticket is printed on an individual ticket, and each ticket constituting a series of tickets following the travel guide is issued.

However, because the host computer 910 creates print data for each ticket in a series of tickets and sends it to the ticket issuing device 920, it takes a long time to use the line and increases the cost of using the line.
As a solution to this drawback, the present applicant has already proposed a patent application dated December 27, 1985 titled ``Ticket issuing device.'' This ticket issuing device is provided with a ticket editing section that extracts printing items from the given ticket issuing data and edits them into the printing format of each ticket to be issued. Such a ticketing editing section edits the unedited data into a format corresponding to each ticket and prints it, so that a series of issuing groups can be issued from the unedited ticketing data.

Separately, the present applicant has already proposed a patent application dated January 10, 1986 titled ``Ticket issuing device.''
In this ticket issuing device, if the received message for ticket issuing is unedited, it is edited to the format of each ticket, and if the received message has been edited, it is output to the ticket issuing control unit without editing. We have established a department.
This makes it possible to deal with both unedited and edited messages, and to issue a series of ticket groups.

In this way, on the ticket issuing device 920 side, the printer itself that performs the printing operation on the ticket issuing device 920 side has become so-called intelligent, and the printer itself that performs the printing function has changed from a method of directly printing data delayed from the host computer 910 side. Data is now being edited (processed). Even in that case, the amount of data sent from the host computer 910 side tends to gradually decrease.

The reason for this is that the host computer 910
By reducing the amount of data output from the host computer 910, the load on the host computer 910 becomes lighter and the response time of the entire online system becomes faster. Furthermore, since less data flows over the transmission path, overall costs are reduced when public lines and packet networks are used. Furthermore, less data flows on the transmission path, which helps alleviate line congestion.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, in the conventional ticket issuing device described above, the ticket issuing device 920 extracts print items from the given unedited ticket issuing data and edits them into a format that can be printed. That is, ticket issuing data is sequentially sent from the host computer 910 side, edited, and printed. At this time, the ticket issuing device 920 side sends a "ready signal" to the host computer side to notify that it is in a standby state where it can receive data. host computer 9
When the 10 side receives this ready signal, it transmits ticketing data. The ticket issuing device 920 is in a "busy state" while receiving ticket issuing data. Normally, the maximum time for which a ready signal must be returned after entering this busy state is determined by the system, for example 60 seconds.

However, since the time required for printing is longer than that for transmitting the data, a situation may arise in which ticket issuing data for the next reservation person has to be sent before editing and printing are completed. In that case, the ticket issuing device 920 will be in a busy state while printing is in progress.
If you continue in this state, the ticket issuing device 9
The host computer 910 cannot determine whether 20 is in a true busy state or in a failure state. Therefore, the system is considered to be out of order, and the ticketing data of the next reservation person cannot be sent, resulting in the problem that the system cannot function as a reservation system.

The present invention was created in view of the above points, and is designed to prevent printing from occurring if printing is not completed before the maximum time normally determined by the system for entering a busy state and returning a ready signal. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ticket issuing device that can receive the next ticket issuing data even if

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a basic block diagram of the ticket issuing device of the present invention.

Based on the edited data stored in 7, data is recorded on the recording medium 119.

The detection means 123 detects that the amount stored in the data storage means 115 exceeds a predetermined amount.

The control means 125 instructs the line control means 113 to delay the return of the standby signal by a predetermined time in response to the detection by the detection means 123.

Therefore, overall, the configuration is such that data reception is prohibited during the predetermined time period during which the return of the standby signal is delayed.

[Effect]

Desired data, which is unedited data from an external device, is first stored in the data storage means 115 via the line control means 113. Based on the plurality of desired data, the item-specific storage means 117 edits and stores the data item-by-item.

A state in which desired data cannot be stored in the data storage means 115 is detected by the detection means 123. If detected, the line control means 123 delays sending the standby signal in response to a command from the control means 125.

After this predetermined time delay, a standby signal is sent, making it possible to receive new desired data.

In the present invention, the return of the standby signal is delayed under predetermined conditions, and after the delay, the standby signal is sent and the predetermined data is received, so that it is possible to receive a large amount of the predetermined data. is avoided.

That is, the magnetic recording section 253 in FIG. 2 consists of a magnetic data writing buffer 337 and a magnetic stripe writing section 339, and the printing section 255 consists of a printing buffer 331 and a printing circuit 335. A mode setting section 347 consisting of a key operation section of the reservation input terminal section 251 is connected to a control section 325 that performs overall control. This control section 325 and other parts correspond to the terminal control section 250 shown in FIG.

Line control section 3 included in this terminal control section 250
13 is connected to the host computer 200 (see FIG. 2) via a communication circuit 211 so that signals can be exchanged with each other. The unedited print data transmitted from the host computer 200 as a message is sequentially stored in the print data storage buffer 315 by the line control unit 313. The editing unit 316 reads out the print data stored in the print data storage buffer 315 , edits it, and stores it in the print item storage buffer 317 .

The print data to be printed in the print field 261 of the ticket 219A is stored in the print buffer 331 of the printing section 255, and is printed for each ticket 219 by the printing circuit section 335. Further, the magnetic recording data to be written on the magnetic stripe 257 of the ticket 219B is stored from the print item storage buffer 317 to the magnetic data writing buffer 337 of the magnetic recording section 253, and then
Written by the magnetic stripe writing section 339.

A storage area where the print data from is sequentially stored, a buffer length area where the total buffer length representing the fixed storage requirement is recorded, and a received area where the final address of the received data is stored. There is a data storage final address area and a buffer-transferred final address area in which storage area addresses of print data that have been edited for each item by the editing section 316 are stored.

Here, it is assumed that data can be overwritten in the storage area. The received data storage final address and buffer transfer final address are updated each time.

Based on the total buffer length in the print data storage buffer 315, the received data storage final address, and the print item buffer transferred final address, the detection unit 323 can write data to the storage area of the print data storage buffer 315. This is to determine whether or not it is.

The mode specifying section 347 specifies the operating mode (line speed, various parameters inside the device) of this ticket issuing device 210, and the notifying section 341 specifies the line status, information on remaining tickets in the roll storage box 259, printer information. This is an indicator that notifies you of abnormal conditions.

Each of the above units is controlled by the control unit 325.

Operation of Example The operation of the ticket issuing device 210 having the above-described configuration will be explained.

FIG. 7 shows a ticket issuing device 210 that receives print data from a host computer 200.
This shows the operating status when editing and printing.

Hereinafter, FIGS. 2 to 7 will be referred to.

It is now assumed that a flight ticket is reserved based on the itinerary as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11.

First, a ready signal indicating that the ticket issuing device 210 is in a standby state capable of receiving print data is given to the host computer 200 via the communication line 211.

Upon receiving the ready signal from the ticket issuing device 210, the host computer 200 sends out various data stored in its file storage section 201. The file storage unit 201 contains the name of the person making the reservation,
Various data such as the first boarding flight number and departure date are stored. These stored data are transmitted in a certain unit (block by block). First, the host computer 200 sends out, for example, name data of the reservation person in response to the first ready signal.

When the line control unit 313 of the ticket issuing device 210 receives such print data, it supplies it to the print data storage buffer 315 and stores it at the start address of the print data storage area of the print data storage buffer 315. Here, it is assumed that the final address for storing received data in the print data storage buffer 315 is initially the top address, and is incremented when one data storage is completed.

When one data storage is completed, the next data can be received, and the ticket issuing device 210 issues a ready signal again from its line control section 313 via the communication circuit 211.

In response to this ready signal, host computer 200 transmits the next data unit, the first boarding flight number. On the ticket issuing device 210 side, the data is stored in the print data storage area represented by the updated next address in the print data buffer 315. Subsequently, the ticket issuing device 210 becomes ready to receive data and issues a ready signal.

The host computer 200 further transmits another unit of data in response to the ready signal, and sends another unit of data to the ticket issuing device 2.
In the print data storage buffer 315 of No. 10, the data is stored in the print data storage area of the next address. In this order, the standby state of the ticket issuing device 210, the transmission of print data from the host computer 200, and the storage in the print data storage buffer 315 within the ticket issuing device 210 are repeated.

However, even when the editing unit 316 of the ticket issuing device 210 is receiving print data by returning a ready signal, it sequentially edits the print data based on the partial print data stored in the print data storage buffer 315. . Editing operations in the editing section 316 are performed according to items corresponding to the issued ticket. The edited data is sequentially stored item by item in the print item storage buffer 317. In other words, while receiving print data, editing work for each item is also performed.

As described above, when all print data for one person (one transaction) is received, the control unit 325 of the ticket issuing device 210 sends back a ready signal to the line control unit 313 for a certain period of time. order to prohibit it. Therefore, since the ready signal is not returned from the ticket issuing device 210, the ticket issuing device 210 is considered to be in a busy state, and the host computer 200 does not transmit the next print data.

However, during that time, the editorial department 316 of the ticket issuing device 210
performs an editing operation to edit the items to be issued as one set, and stores edited data sufficient to issue tickets for all items in the print item storage buffer 317.

When the edited data sufficient to issue tickets for all items is stored in the printing item storage buffer 317, the data to be printed in the printing field 261 of the ticket 219A out of the edited data is stored in the printing buffer of the printing unit 255. 331 and stored. Also, magnetic tripe 25 of ticket 219B
The data to be magnetically recorded in 7 is transferred to and stored in the magnetic data write buffer 337 of the magnetic recording section 253.

Next, the control unit 325 prints (magnetic writing)
Command the movement.

First, the feed mechanism section 345 is instructed to pull out the stored ticket 219A (a ticket on which data is printed only on the front surface) from the ticket storage box 259, and then the ticket transport means 263 transports the stored ticket 219A. The data stored in the print buffer 331 is printed by the print circuit unit 335 in the print field 261 of the ticket 219A. Here, first, the customer receipt is printed according to the items. Similarly, flight ticket 4, flight ticket 3, etc.
...The tickets are printed and released in sequence on separate tickets in the order of the itinerary.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 4B, each airline ticket has a magnetic stripe 257 on its back surface. Data such as the reservation person's name, boarding date, flight number, etc. are written on the magnetic stripe 257. These various data are later recorded in order to automate the process by reading them with a magnetic reading means when the user goes through boarding procedures at the counter when actually boarding the aircraft. From this point of view, these data are edited together in the editing section 316 and stored in the magnetic data write buffer 337 of the magnetic recording section 253.

Let's look at the operation when magnetically recording such data. First, the control section 325 instructs the feed mechanism section 345 to send out the ticket 219B (here, an airline ticket) stored in the ticket storage box 259B. When the ticket 219B transported by the ticket transport means 263 reaches the location where the magnetic recording section 253 is installed, the control section 325 commands the magnetic stripe writing section 339. Magnetic data write buffer 33
The data stored in 7 is written by the magnetic stripe writing section 339 onto the magnetic stripe 257 on the back side of the ticket 219B. Thereafter, the ticket is conveyed by the ticket conveying means 263 to the printing section 25.
At the installation location 5, by the printed circuit section 335,
Necessary data is printed in the printing column 261 on the front side of the ticket 219B. This printing operation is the same as described above.

In this way, data is printed on the surface,
In addition, a ticket 219 with data magnetically recorded on the back side.
B is released into the ticket storage box 265 by the release unit 343.

In the manner described above, a set of travel coupons is issued in which necessary data is printed on the surfaces of all tickets 219 and data is magnetically recorded as necessary.

By the way, as described above, the time required for printing operation is longer than that for receiving and editing print data. For example, if the ticket issuing device 210 receives print data for one transaction and executes a printing operation,
A predetermined timeout period (determined by the connected host computer 200, for example, 60 seconds) may elapse without returning the ready signal.

In this embodiment, the print data storage buffer 315
Since the total buffer length, received data storage final address, and printing item buffer transferred final address are stored in , the line control unit 313 of the ticket issuing device 210 returns the data to the host computer 200 based on these. The timing of the ready signal is controlled.

It is now assumed that print data is stored in the entire storage area of the print data storage buffer 315. In this case, the received data storage final address is the final address, and the print item buffer transferred final address is the first address. Therefore, even if new print data is received, it cannot be stored.

Therefore, once the editing is completed based on the print data for one transaction as described above, the print item buffer is considered to have been transferred, and the final address where the print data for that one transaction was stored is set to the print item buffer transferred final address. Address. There is no longer any need to store and save the printing data for that transaction.
The storage area is overwritten with print data.

The detection unit 323 is connected to the print data storage buffer 31
It is determined from the information of the total buffer length, the received data storage final address, and the print item buffer transferred final address in No. 5 that new print data cannot be received. According to the determination by the detection unit 323, the control unit 325 instructs the line control unit 313 to return the ready signal for a predetermined period of time (for example, 50 seconds, which is slightly less than the timeout time of the host computer 200 of 60 seconds). , prohibiting the return of ready signals. In the meantime, printing (magnetic recording) is performed while editing is performed and the edited data is stored in the print item storage buffer 317.

When 50 seconds have elapsed while printing continues, the control unit 325 instructs the line control unit 313 to send a ready signal to the host computer 2.
00. In response to this ready signal, the host computer 200 prints the print data (transaction data) regarding the next reservation person.
Start sending about a block. Ticket issuing device 21
On the 0 side, it is the storage area of the print data storage buffer 315 where the print data related to the previous reservation person was stored, and the storage area where the print buffer has been transferred is the storage area where the received data storage final address and the print item buffer has been transferred are stored. Stored sequentially according to the final address.

Summary of Embodiments As a result, if the ticket issuing device 210 cannot receive new print data, it prints the new data for a predetermined period of time without timeout while printing (magnetic recording) the edited data. Prohibit reception of print data. While printing continues, if the predetermined time has elapsed, a ready signal is transmitted and the next print data is received, and the printing operation and print data receiving operation are performed in parallel.

In this way, by delaying the storage of print data into the print data storage buffer 315, it is possible to prevent a large amount of data from being received all at once that printing cannot keep up with. Therefore, the print data storage buffer 315 does not need a large storage capacity. In addition, the currently used host computer 20
There is no need for a special interface to connect to 0, and the work required to change the reservation system is extremely simple.

By the way, data is written on the magnetic stripe 257 of the ticket 219. If the magnetic recording unit 253 included in the ticket issuing device 210 is also provided with a reading function, and the data written on the magnetic stripe 257 is read by this magnetic reading function, subsequent reservations can be made. This is convenient for changing the contents. Also, if you have a magnetic reader at the counter when you go through the boarding procedure, you can use it to read the information and complete the procedure, so you don't have to input each entry on a keyboard, etc., making the procedure at the counter much easier. Simplified.

Modifications of the Invention In the above-described embodiments of the present invention, after editing the print data item by item, printing is performed from the ticket corresponding to the last page of the travel coupon ticket consisting of one book. The order is arbitrary.

Further, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention, a case has been described in which a travel coupon including an airline ticket is issued, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, the present invention can be applied to a ticket issuing device that edits a single ticket for various types of tickets including various reservations for trains, hotels, rental cars, etc. based on a plurality of pieces of information, and prints the edited ticket on each ticket.

Furthermore, although the correspondence between FIG. 1 and the present invention has been explained in "Correspondence between the embodiments and FIG. 1", it is not limited to this and there may be various modifications Those skilled in the art will be able to easily guess this.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when unedited data is converted and edited item by item and the edited data is output, the data is received by the line control means under predetermined conditions. This is extremely useful in practice, as it prevents the reception of a large amount of unedited data at once and allows the next data to be accepted during output.
