Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a public transportation fare-free ticket issuance and an operating system thereof, and more specifically, to a public transportation fare-free digital ticket matching machine and an operating system thereof that is suitable for allowing convenient and easy use of public transportation means by issuing a fare-free ticket as a fare-free digital ticket using only a physical plastic ID card or mobile ID card that can verify eligibility for fare-free travel, rather than issuing a fare-free ticket by a ticket dispenser installed in a subway station. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, a transportation card is an electronic card used to pay for the use of public transportation such as buses, subways, and regional railways; it is a prepaid or postpaid payment method that allows payment of transportation fares by tapping or contactlessly tagging it at a payment terminal installed inside a bus or at a gate for entering a subway station platform.

[0004] Since the introduction of transportation cards in Korea in 1996, transportation card systems have been in operation in major cities and adjacent areas nationwide as well as in the metropolitan area, and in the metropolitan area, more than 99% of all users use them on a daily average basis.

[0005] These transportation cards use a contactless method and are classified into prepaid and postpaid transportation cards depending on the usage method.

[0006] The above contactless card complies with ISO 14443 and ensures the security of the memory card by incorporating a CPU into the card chip. It is equipped with an internal antenna for data transmission / reception and power supply, and receives power from the terminal through the antenna. Additionally, it is characterized by fast processing speed as there is no need to insert the card into the terminal, the ability to process without exposing the card, and minimal damage caused by static electricity.

[0007] Meanwhile, among these transportation cards, there are free transportation cards that can be used for free by those who qualify as defined by law.

[0008] In addition, some local governments currently in operation, including Seoul, the metropolitan area, Busan, and Daegu, issue free subway transportation cards in conjunction with local transportation card companies and banks.

[0009] Currently issued free transportation cards include the senior citizen preferential transportation card issued to senior citizens aged 65 or older under the Senior Welfare Act, the national merit transportation welfare card issued to war-wounded, injured military / police personnel, 4.19 Revolution injured persons, injured public officials, 6.18 Freedom injured persons, 5.18 Democratization Movement injured persons, etc. under the Act on the Treatment and Support of National Merit Persons, and the disabled transportation welfare card issued to registered disabled persons under the Welfare of Disabled Persons Act.

[0010] These free transportation cards for the elderly, transportation welfare cards for national merit recipients, and transportation welfare cards for the disabled are issued by local governments such as Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do (for metropolitan subway use), Chungcheongnam-do (for Daejeon), Daegu, Busan, and Gwangju, which allow for free subway use. Currently, while buses are not legally eligible for free travel, bus fares are subsidized according to local government policies.

[0011] In addition, subway operators (Korail, Seoul Transportation Corporation, Seoul Metro Corporation, etc.) install and operate automatic vending machines for single-use free tickets at all subway stations to allow the use of single-use free tickets in case of non-existent prepaid or postpaid transportation cards.

[0012] A one-time free ticket issued through an automatic ticket vending machine is, as the name suggests, a ticket that can be used only once.

[0013] Each subway station is typically equipped with 2 to 10 automatic ticket vending machines (approximately 50 million won per machine) and single-ride ticket deposit refund machines (approximately 20 million won per machine), and subway operators have a separate organization for the maintenance of this equipment.

[0014] In addition, station staff stationed at the subway station are responsible for tasks such as closing the day for automatic ticket vending machines and deposit refund machines, replenishing and collecting change, and replenishing, collecting, and managing the inventory of free tickets.

[0015] Therefore, a large amount of material and human resources is invested in the issuance and operation of one-time free ride tickets, and this has the problem of acting as a factor in increasing subway fares. Prior art literature

[0044] The following describes a preferred embodiment of the public transportation digital free ride ticket matching device and the operating system thereof according to the present invention in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0045] Hereinafter, the present invention is described in detail through embodiments and drawings. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments and should be understood to include various modifications, equivalents, and / or alternatives to the embodiments of the present invention. In connection with the description of the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used for similar components.

[0046] In this document, expressions such as "have," "can have," "include," or "can include" refer to the existence of the relevant feature (e.g., numerical values, functions, actions, or components, etc.) and do not exclude the existence of additional features.

[0047] In this document, expressions such as “A or B,” “A or / and B,” “at least one of A or / and B,” or “one or more of A or / and B” may include all possible combinations of items listed together. For example, “A or B,” “at least one of A and B,” or “at least one of A or B” may refer to cases including (1) at least one A, (2) at least one B, or (3) both at least one A and at least one B.

[0048] Expressions such as "first," "second," "first," or "second" used in this document may modify various components regardless of order and / or importance, and are used merely to distinguish one component from another without limiting such components. For example, the first user device and the second user device may represent different user devices regardless of order or importance. For example, without departing from the scope of rights set forth in this document, the first component may be named the second component, and similarly, the second component may be renamed the first component.

[0049] Where it is stated that a certain component (e.g., a first component) is "(operatively or communicatively) coupled with" or "connected to" another component (e.g., a second component), it should be understood that the said certain component may be directly connected to the said other component or connected through another component (e.g., a third component).

For example, the phrase “processor configured to perform A, B, and C” may mean a dedicated processor for performing those operations (e.g., an embedded processor), or a generic-purpose processor (e.g., a CPU or application processor) capable of performing those operations by executing one or more software programs stored in a memory device.

[0051] The terms used in this document are used merely to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of other embodiments. Singular expressions may include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, may have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art described in this document. Terms used in this document that are defined in general dictionaries may be interpreted as having the same or similar meaning as they have in the context of the relevant technology, and are not to be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this document. In some cases, even terms defined in this document may not be interpreted to exclude the embodiments of this document.

[0052] The public transportation means described in this specification include subways and buses. Here, the term "subway" encompasses subways, metropolitan subways, and light rail, and is a concept that includes all public transportation means for which an access gate is installed at a subway station to allow entry and exit to the platform for boarding and alighting.

[0053] A single-use digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention is a matching device that is installed inside an entrance gate (50) of a subway station (St) or a bus (Bs) and matches a single-use digital free ride ticket as a digital code that can replace a conventional single-use free transportation card by matching it to an identification card (1, 2) of a person eligible for free ride in public transportation, and is characterized by being configured to include an identification card detection unit (120) and a control unit (110).

[0054] The above-mentioned identification card detection unit (120) is configured such that when an identification card (1, 2) of a person eligible for free public transportation ride comes into contact with or approaches the tag area of ​​the identification card detection unit (120) for a bus passenger or a person passing through the subway entrance gate (50) (hereinafter collectively referred to as a passenger), i.e., when it is tagged, it detects unique information of the identification card (1, 2) that can confirm whether the person is eligible for free ride (information confirming eligibility for senior citizen preferential treatment under the Senior Welfare Act, information confirming eligibility for national merit under the Act on the Treatment and Support of National Merit Persons, information confirming eligibility for disabled persons under the Welfare Act for Disabled Persons), and determines whether the person is eligible for free ride based on the detected unique information of the identification card (1, 2).

[0055] The above control unit (110) is configured to match the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) detected by the identification card detection unit (120) with a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code when the identification card detection unit (120) determines that the person is eligible for free ride.

[0056] According to the above configuration, if you have an identification card [ID card (1, 2)] that confirms you are eligible for free public transportation, you can immediately use public transportation means such as subways or buses without having to obtain a one-time free ride ticket through a separate unmanned machine.

[0057] In addition, it will be able to completely replace the single-use ticket vending machines currently equipped at subway stations (St) for issuing single-use free tickets.

[0058] Therefore, from the perspective of transportation operators, particularly subway operators operating subways, it is not necessary to equip single-use ticket vending machines for issuing single-use tickets within subway stations. Furthermore, as mentioned above, significant costs are incurred in the maintenance and operation of ticket vending machines, and thus, the budget and costs required for the maintenance, repair, and operation of such ticket vending machines can be reduced.

[0059] In addition, since it is not necessary to produce and issue single-use free transportation cards that were required for free public transportation users to use public transportation (especially subways) for free as in the past, the budget required for the production, issuance, and operation of free transportation cards can be reduced.

[0060] In addition, from the perspective of users of free ride tickets (those eligible for free public transportation), there is no longer a need to carry a separate free transportation card, and in cases where there is no free transportation card, there is no need to obtain a card-type free ride ticket through a free ride ticket vending machine located at a subway station, so free public transportation can be used in an innovatively convenient and simple way.

[0061] In a public transportation one-time digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (110) receives verification result information that the person is eligible for free ride from the identification card detection unit (120) or reads verification result information that the person is eligible for free ride stored in the memory of the identification card detection unit (120).

[0062] In a public transportation digital free ride ticket matching machine (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the configuration (step, function, process) of matching the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) with a digital code-type digital free ride ticket, which is a core process performed in the public transportation digital free ride ticket matching machine (10), corresponds to the concept of issuing a disposable digital free ride ticket by issuing a plastic card-type disposable free transportation card from an existing free ride ticket automatic vending machine placed at a subway station.

[0063] And, the digital code constituting the above-mentioned single-use digital free ride ticket is a code value corresponding to, for example, the card number information [unique number of the card (unique code value)] and the authentication key value (key code value for authentication, i.e., to verify the authenticity of the card) implemented in the existing plastic single-use free ride card.

[0064] In a digital free ride ticket matching device (10) for public transportation one-time use according to one embodiment of the present invention, the identification card (1, 2) of the person eligible for free public transportation ride is characterized as being either a physical plastic identification card (1) (resident registration card, driver's license, national merit card, disability welfare card) or a mobile identification card (2) stored in a mobile terminal (M).

[0065] The above physical plastic identification card (1) is one of a resident registration card, a driver's license, a national merit card, or a disability welfare card.

[0066] The above mobile ID card (2) is implemented with an optical code for storing information in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional form that can be read by an ID card detector, such as a mobile ID card reader (122), while stored in a mobile terminal (M).

[0067] The portable terminal (M) can be a portable communication terminal capable of running applications, such as a smartphone or tablet PC.

[0068] The unique information that can be used to verify whether a person is eligible for free ride on public transportation in the identification card (1, 2) of the person eligible for free ride on public transportation may be, for example, information confirming eligibility for senior citizen preferential treatment under the Senior Welfare Act, information confirming eligibility for national merit under the Act on the Treatment and Support of National Merit Persons, and information confirming eligibility for disabled persons under the Welfare Act for Disabled Persons.

[0069] The above identification card detection unit (120) may be composed of a physical plastic identification card reader (121) that detects information confirming forgery of the physical plastic identification card (1) to determine whether it is forged or altered, and if it is determined that it is not forged or altered, detects the unique information of the physical plastic identification card (1).

[0070] Alternatively, according to an embodiment, the ID card detection unit (120) may be composed of a mobile ID card reader (122) that detects unique information of the mobile ID card (2).

[0071] In a public transportation single-use digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (110) is characterized by, when the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) detected by the identification card detection unit (120) is matched with a single-use digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code, outputting a boarding request signal to the boarding / alighting terminal (60) of the bus (Bs) when the public transportation means equipped with the public transportation single-use digital free ride ticket integrated payment device (10) is a bus (Bs), or to the entrance / exit gate (50) of the subway station (St) when the public transportation means equipped with the public transportation single-use digital free ride ticket integrated payment device (10) is a subway.

[0072] In a public transportation single-use digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the identification card detection unit (120) is characterized by being composed of at least one of a physical plastic identification card reader (121) or a mobile identification card reader (122).

[0073] That is, it may be composed only of a physical plastic ID reader (121), or may be composed only of a mobile ID reader (122), or may be composed of both a physical plastic ID reader (121) and a mobile ID reader (122), and in any case, it is of course within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0074] Meanwhile, the physical plastic ID card reader (121) has an ID card forgery detection program stored in it to verify forgery information. Since this ID card forgery detection program itself is a technology known prior to the filing of the present invention, a detailed description is omitted.

[0075] Now, various embodiments for obtaining a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code to match with the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) will be described.

[0076] First, in a public transportation one-time digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention, a digital code storage unit (131) is further included to store a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code transmitted from a transportation operator server (20), and the control unit (110) is characterized by matching the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) with the one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code by reading the digital code stored in the digital code storage unit (131) by matching it one-to-one with the unique information of the identification card detected by the identification card detection unit (120).

[0077] According to this, it becomes possible to operate a public transportation system based on one-time digital free ride tickets by using the existing transportation card issuance and operation system as is, without modifying or changing the existing transportation card issuance and operation system at all.

[0078] In addition, it is possible to quickly issue a one-time digital free ride ticket, and even if communication between the public transportation one-time digital free ride ticket matching machine (10) and the transportation operator server (20) is interrupted, a one-time digital free ride ticket can be issued.

[0079] Next, in a public transportation one-time digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (110) requests a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code from a transportation operator server (20), and thereafter, when the control unit (110) receives a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code from the transportation operator server (20) that received the one-time digital free ride ticket request signal, it is characterized by matching the received one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code with the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) detected by the identification card detection unit (120) on a one-to-one basis.

[0080] In addition, in a public transportation one-time digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to another embodiment of the present invention, a digital code generating unit (150) that generates a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code is further included and configured, wherein the control unit (110) is characterized by matching the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) detected by the identification card detection unit (120) and the digital code generated by the digital code generating unit (150) one-to-one when the identification card is determined to be a free ride recipient by the identification card detection unit (120).

[0081] Meanwhile, the configuration (process, step, function) for matching the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) detected by the identification card detection unit (120) with the one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code may be executed by directly writing an application program to the control unit (110) as described above, or in another embodiment, the configuration (process, step, function) for matching the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) with the one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code may be executed by storing it as an application program in a separate memory, and in either case, it falls within the technical scope of the present invention, and will be briefly explained therein.

[0082] In a public transportation one-time digital free ride ticket matching device (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention, a free ride ticket matching unit (133) is further included to match the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) detected by the identification card detection unit (120) with a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code.

[0083] At this time, when the control unit (110) determines that the person is eligible for free ride by the ID card detection unit (120), the free ride ticket matching unit (133) controls the matching of the unique information of the ID card (1, 2) and a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code.

[0084] In addition, in the case of an embodiment in which a digital code storage unit (131) is configured to store a one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code transmitted from a transportation operator server (20), the free ride ticket matching unit (133) is characterized by matching the unique information of the identification card (1, 2) with the one-time digital free ride ticket in the form of a digital code by reading the digital code stored in the digital code storage unit (131) by matching it one-to-one with the unique information of the identification card detected by the identification card detection unit (120).
