Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a real-name automatic ticket vending machine. Background Art

[0002] Automatic ticket vending machines have been used in subways and urban public transportation for nearly 20 years. They undertake the functions of selling single-journey tickets (currently basically chip single-journey tickets), financial management, and self-operation detection and maintenance. The current mainstream automatic ticket vending machines support cash and code scanning payments. The automatic ticket vending machine realizes the functions of cash collection, identification, and change through the paper money, coin recognition, and change-making mechanisms installed in the machine body. The automatic ticket vending machine completes a series of operations such as ticket writing and ticket issuing for single-journey tickets through the transmission mechanism and terminal reader / writer installed in the machine body, and realizes the function of outputting the single-journey tickets in the ticket cylinder to passengers as required after ticket writing. The basic structure of the existing automatic ticket vending machine is as follows: an interactive main screen is provided for passengers to operate. In addition, there are paper money and coin insertion ports on the machine, as well as change-making and ticket-issuing ports. Passengers select the corresponding destination station and the number of tickets to be purchased according to their actual travel needs through the interactive main screen, and the system interface prompts the amount to be paid. The passenger selects the payment method. If Alipay / WeChat payment is selected, the system interface displays the payment code, and the passenger scans the code to complete the payment and obtains the single-journey ticket from the ticket-issuing port. If cash payment is selected, the passenger puts cash greater than or equal to the ticket price into the paper money and coin insertion ports and obtains the single-journey ticket and cash change from the ticket-issuing port. The automatic ticket vending machine also has financial management and maintenance functions. After the staff opens the machine cover of the automatic ticket vending machine, they can print settlement bills or enter the maintenance mode for daily maintenance.

[0003] The existing automatic ticket vending machines can mainly meet the ticket-selling needs of subways and ordinary urban railways (intercity railways). However, with the development of the times, especially the further expansion of the business needs of urban railways, some defects of automatic ticket vending machines have gradually emerged. First, due to the existence of the ticket card transmission mechanism and the paper and coin modules, during long-term use, it is inevitable to encounter hardware failures and frequent ticket replacement, ticket collection, loose change placement, cash collection, etc. in daily operations, resulting in relatively high operation and maintenance costs. Second, during daily operations, replenishing tickets and using cash for change-making for the automatic ticket vending machine is a very cumbersome task. Finally, in terms of functions, the existing automatic ticket vending machines do not have the ability to support real-name riding-related services, and the support for urban railways operating at the national railway safety level is relatively limited. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The present utility model provides a real-name automatic ticket vending machine, which is applied to the stations of the intercity railway with bus-like operation, and is used to sell real-name paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets to passengers. At the same time, in order to realize the real-name verification of other boarding vouchers (including: WeChat boarding code and physical bus card), it can be used for face authentication of boarding vouchers for the intercity railway with bus-like operation and binding of identity information. Before using the WeChat boarding code and the physical bus card for the first time, the real-name system of the card and the code is realized through the interactive screen. When boarding the train, the real-name boarding with the boarding voucher is realized, meeting the requirement of the intercity railway with bus-like operation for the three-in-one verification of "ticket, certificate, and person" for boarding.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiment, a real-name automatic ticket vending machine is proposed, which is applied to the stations of the intercity railway with bus-like operation. The real-name automatic ticket vending machine is connected to a server storing the face ID of passengers. The real-name automatic ticket vending machine includes: a body; a face verification device and an interactive screen arranged on the body, the interactive screen being used for man-machine interaction operations during ticket purchase and collecting the portrait information of passengers when the face verification device initiates face verification; a communication module, which obtains the face ID matching the portrait information from the server; an identification device, which is arranged inside the body and includes a reader-writer and a scanning head connected to the reader-writer for identifying the electronic boarding code to be bound, as well as an antenna for reading and writing the transportation card and the ID card. There is a card reading area corresponding to the antenna and a code scanning area corresponding to the scanning head on the body; a ticket printer, which is arranged inside the body and is configured to print paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets, and there is a ticket outlet on the body; and an industrial control computer, which is arranged inside the body and is connected to the identification device, the interactive screen, the face verification device and the ticket printer, and binds the face ID with the paper two-dimensional code single-trip ticket, the transportation card and the electronic boarding code.

[0006] It should be noted that the method features (control logics) included in the industrial control computer, the identification device, the interactive screen, the face verification device and the ticket printer alone belong to conventional technologies. The present utility model combines these physical structures together and cooperates with a simple program to realize the one-to-one binding of the boarding vouchers required for the intercity railway with bus-like operation and the identities of passengers, complete the sale of real-name paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets, or complete the face authentication and binding of personal information of the boarding vouchers (WeChat boarding code and physical bus card) for the intercity railway with bus-like operation. Before using the WeChat boarding code and the physical bus card for the first time, the real-name system of the card and the code is realized through the interactive screen.

[0007] In some examples, in the interface of the paper two-dimensional code single-trip ticket, at least the following information is included: the unique ticket code, the ticket purchase station, the destination station, the ticket purchase train number and the ticket purchase date.

[0008] In some examples, the face ID is included in the two-dimensional code of the paper two-dimensional code single-trip ticket.

[0009] In some examples, the ticket printer is a thermal printer.

[0010] In some examples, the face ID is a desensitized face ID.

[0011] In some examples, the electronic ride code is generated by a mini-program deployed on WeChat.

[0012] In some examples, the transportation card is a physical card issued by cities with intercity railway bus operation for taking the subway and / or bus.

[0013] In some examples, the face ID is bound to the unique code of the transportation card. Description of the Drawings

[0014] Figure 1 is a block diagram of a real-name automatic ticket vending machine.

[0015] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a real-name automatic ticket vending machine. Detailed Implementation Modes

[0016] The intercity railway bus operation uses the electronic ride code, the physical transportation card and the paper two-dimensional code single-trip ticket as the bus operation ride vouchers (abbreviation: ride vouchers). The electronic ride code includes the two-dimensional code generated by the WeChat mini-program (also abbreviated as: WeChat ride code). The physical transportation card is a transportation card (commonly known as a bus card) issued by cities with intercity railway bus operation for taking the subway and / or bus. In order to be able to use the bus operation ride vouchers to achieve the intercity railway bus operation, meet the requirement of "ticket, certificate, person" three-in-one verification for taking the bus with the paper two-dimensional code single-trip ticket, and complete the binding of the personal information of the WeChat ride code and the physical transportation card for the first time, and realize that all passengers need to complete the one-to-one binding of the ride vouchers they hold and the passenger identity before passing the security check, the present utility model proposes a real-name automatic ticket vending machine that can sell real-name paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets and realize the binding of the identity information of the WeChat ride code and the physical transportation card. The bound identity information includes the desensitized face ID.

[0017] The real-name automatic ticket vending machine of the present utility model is deployed at the stations with intercity railway bus operation, and is used to sell real-name paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets to passengers, and bind the identity information to the physical transportation card and the electronic ride code.

[0018] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the real-name automatic ticket vending machine includes an interactive screen 1, a face verification device 2, a ticket printer, an identification device, a communication module and an industrial computer.

[0019] The interactive screen 1 and the face verification device 2 are arranged on the body 3. The interactive screen 1 and the face verification device 2 can be integrated. The interactive screen 1 is used to provide a human-computer interaction operation interface for passengers when purchasing a paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket. For example, it has at least the following functions: allowing passengers to input ticket purchase information (including travel date, train number, departure station, destination station), displaying train number information, and displaying a payment code. The interactive screen 1 is also used to collect portrait information (face information).

[0020] The ticket printer can use a thermal printer, which is arranged inside the body and is configured to print a paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket. There is a ticket outlet 6 on the body 3. The present utility model uses a printed paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket to replace the original chip single-way ticket, and no longer uses a transmission mechanism and a ticket cylinder, making the operation and maintenance of the ticket vending machine simpler.

[0021] The identification device is arranged inside the body and includes a reader-writer, a scanning head for identifying the electronic travel code to be bound connected to the reader-writer, and an antenna for reading and writing physical transportation cards and identity cards. There is a card reading area 4 corresponding to the antenna and a code scanning area 5 corresponding to the scanning head on the body 3.

[0022] The communication module obtains the face id matching the portrait information from the server.

[0023] The industrial control computer is connected to the identification device, the interactive screen, the face verification device, the communication module, and the ticket printer. The industrial control computer controls each part to realize the binding of the desensitized face id with the paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket, and the binding of the desensitized face id with the physical transportation card and the electronic travel two-dimensional code generated by the WeChat mini-program. The binding process is introduced in detail below.

[0024] The binding of the paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket with the passenger is completed during the ticket sale process. After the passenger inputs ticket purchase information (including departure station, destination station, train number, travel date) on the interactive screen, face collection is required. Under the control of the industrial control computer, the face verification device uses the interactive screen to capture the passenger's face information in real time. The communication module obtains the face id matching the portrait information from the server. The ticket printer prints a real-name paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket based on the ticket purchase information input by the passenger on the interactive screen, and binds the paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket with the desensitized face id. The interface of the paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket can also include general ticket data information such as the unique ticket code, ticket purchase station information, destination station information, ticket purchase train number information, ticket purchase date, ticket purchase type, payment method, etc. The binding relationship between the paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket and the desensitized face id can be sent to the server. In the present utility model, the ticket vending machine uses a paper two-dimensional code single-way ticket to replace the existing chip single-way ticket.

[0025] In this utility model, the leading face recognition ability and face database of Alipay are borrowed for face matching. Currently, the Alipay face database has nearly 1 billion face data, which maximally meets the requirements of the recognition scenario. If the collected face exists in the portrait database of Alipay, Alipay will return the corresponding account information and the desensitized unique face code.

[0026] It should be clear here that due to data security considerations, it is not allowed to store sensitive passenger identity information during the design phase. All the landed passenger data are desensitized data. The desensitized data only exists as the unique key of the passenger identity and does not contain sensitive information.

[0027] As a major social software, the intercity railway operation system also provides ride services through the WeChat ride mini-program. This WeChat ride mini-program is used to generate an electronic ride code. The first use requires the activation of the electronic ride code. The activation process uses the real-name automatic ticket vending machine of this utility model. The WeChat ride mini-program generates a temporary two-dimensional code containing a unique code. Under the control of the industrial control computer, the code scanner scans this temporary two-dimensional code, the reader identifies the unique code of this temporary two-dimensional code, the face verification device captures the passenger's face information in real time, the communication module obtains the face ID that matches the portrait information from the server, and the industrial control computer binds the desensitized face ID to the unique code of the temporary two-dimensional code. This binding relationship is returned to the WeChat ride mini-program and of course uploaded to the server for backup. The WeChat ride mini-program generates an electronic ride code, and this electronic ride code contains the desensitized face ID.

[0028] For the intercity railway to operate in a bus-like manner, it is also essential to support local physical transportation cards. Passengers holding cards complete the binding of the desensitized face ID and the physical transportation card on the real-name automatic ticket vending machine. The binding process includes: placing the physical transportation card in the card reading area; under the control of the industrial control computer, the reader reads the unique code of the physical transportation card through the antenna, the face verification device captures the passenger's face information in real time, the communication module obtains the face ID that matches the portrait information from the server, and the industrial control computer binds the desensitized face ID to the unique code of the physical transportation card and returns this binding relationship to the server for backup.

[0029] It can be seen that the methods of binding these three ride vouchers to the desensitized face ID are basically the same, and the binding process is also a process of real-name verification for the ride vouchers.

[0030] When implementing real-name system for these three types of ride vouchers, if the de-identified face ID cannot be found on the server, the verification and comparison are completed by adding the passenger's face information on the Alipay side. Meanwhile, the portrait storage and verification are also completed. Specifically, if the collected face is not in the existing portrait database of Alipay, to support passengers in all scenarios, after authentication fails, the passenger will be prompted to submit their identity information manually by reading the ID card information through a card reader or entering the ID number on the interactive screen. Then the verification device connects to the relevant public security department database via Alipay for portrait verification. This is a routine operation for those skilled in the art. Under this solution, face collection covers more than 99.99% of the population, ensuring that the real-name system for ride vouchers can be implemented regardless of whether the passenger is in the Alipay portrait database.

[0031] To better adapt to the operation scenarios of suburban railways, two scenario optimizations have been made for the ticket sales or the personal information binding process of cards and codes.

[0032] There is a certain distance between the station ticket hall and the entrance ticket checkpoint. To prevent passengers, especially elderly passengers, from not having enough time to check tickets and board the train after buying tickets, the automatic ticket vending machines stop selling tickets for the corresponding train 20 minutes before the departure of the train, to ensure that all passengers who have bought tickets have enough time to check tickets at the entrance, and avoid losses caused by not having enough time to board the train after buying tickets.

[0033] In addition, considering the limited line capacity, passenger flow control is implemented in the ticket sales plan. The number of paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets allowed to be purchased at each station along the line for a single train is uniformly configured and managed before operation. When the number of tickets sold for a single train at the current station reaches the quota limit, all automatic ticket vending machines automatically stop selling tickets for that train, to ensure that the number of passengers on the train is within a safe range.

[0034] As described above, the automatic ticket vending machine of the present utility model realizes the real-name system function of bus ride vouchers. It should be noted that the interactive screen, face verification device, ticket printer, ID card reader, and industrial control computer are all conventional devices. The present utility model combines them to form a new line structure, which realizes the sale of real-name paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets and the real-name binding of physical transportation cards and electronic ride codes under the control of a simple program.

[0035] This utility model is different from traditional automatic ticket vending machines. It no longer has the high failure problems of the transmission mechanism of traditional automatic ticket vending machines, the cumbersome ticket cartridge replacement work, and the complex processes brought about by the recovery, cleaning, distribution, and transportation of ticket media due to the use of chip single-trip tickets, effectively improving the convenience of intercity railway bus operation; moreover, it endows the paper two-dimensional code single-trip ticket with the attributes of train number and real-name system. At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of passengers and trains, the stop-sale time and quantity of paper two-dimensional code single-trip tickets are reasonably controlled, making the real-name automatic ticket vending machine more adaptable to the characteristics of the urban rail transit industry and having a certain promotional significance for the subway system that requires real-name boarding, and is more in line with the current trend of the times.
