[Figure 2] Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the external appearance and installation state of a simple ticket gate, which is an example of a ticket gate according to the embodiment. [Figure 3] Figure 3 shows an example of a payment screen displayed on a mobile terminal according to this embodiment. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the ticket gate system according to the embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The following description of this embodiment will be based on the attached drawings and will explain the ticket gate system, ticket gate processing method, ticket gate system server, and program.

[0009] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of a ticket gate system 100 according to an embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the ticket gate system 100 includes a first ticket gate 10, a second ticket gate 20, a ticket gate system server 30, a payment system server 40, a credit card statement server 401, and a mobile terminal 50.

[0010] The first ticket gate 10 comprises a display unit 11, a detection unit 12, an opening / closing unit 13, a control unit 14, a second display unit 15, and a ticket processing unit 16. In this embodiment, for illustrative purposes, the first ticket gate 10 is designated as the ticket gate of Station A, an entry station. Station A is equipped with multiple first ticket gates 10. The first ticket gate 10 controls passengers' passage from the first ticket gate 10 to the station premises or to the station premises.

[0011] The display unit 11 of the first ticket gate 10 displays, for example, an information code. The information code is coded information such as a QR code (registered trademark). The displayed information code is updated by the control unit 24, etc., at predetermined intervals. Alternatively, the display unit 11 may update the displayed information code. The predetermined interval is, for example, 1 minute. The information code includes information specific to the ticket gate, entry or exit information, and a timestamp.

[0012] Information specific to each ticket gate includes, for example, the station where the ticket gate is installed, and the number of the relevant ticket gate among multiple ticket gates installed at the station. The timestamp may be, for example, the time from the hardware clock installed in the ticket gate, or the time from a radio-controlled clock that synchronizes its time by receiving standard radio waves.

[0013] The detection unit 12 of the first ticket gate 10 detects, for example, when a passenger enters the station premises through the first ticket gate 10. It also detects when a passenger exits the station premises through the first ticket gate 10. The detection unit 12 sends the detection information to the control unit 14. For example, it detects that a passenger has exited and sends the information to the control unit 14.

[0014] The opening / closing section 13 of the first ticket gate 10 includes a door (opening / closing door) installed on the first ticket gate 10 to physically prevent passengers from passing through. The opening / closing section 13 opens and closes the opening / closing door according to the passability determination result obtained from the control unit 14. For example, if the control unit 14 determines that passability is permitted, the opening / closing door is opened. If the control unit 14 determines that passability is not permitted, the opening / closing door is closed.

[0015] The control unit 14 of the first ticket gate 10 communicates with the communication unit 31 of the ticket gate system server 30. For example, it acquires the determination result of whether a passenger can pass from the communication unit 31 of the ticket gate system server 30. Then, the control unit 14 controls the opening / closing unit 13 based on the determination result of whether the passenger can pass. Also, the control unit 14 acquires detection information from the detection unit 12 that the passenger has exited the station premises or entered the station premises, and sends it to the communication unit 31 of the ticket gate system server 30.

[0016] The second display unit 15 of the first ticket gate 10 displays guidance etc. for the passenger. For example, it displays the determination result of whether the passenger can pass. Also, it displays the fare deducted (boarding fare etc.) and the remaining balance of the IC card etc. Also, when the passage setting of the first ticket gate 10 is aborted (abort of the ticket gate process), a guidance screen may be displayed to guide that passage is not permitted (the ticket gate process is aborted).

[0017] The ticket processing unit 16 of the first ticket gate 10 processes the ticket medium (for example, IC card) presented by the passenger. By the ticket processing unit 16, passage processing using a conventional ticket medium can be performed. Furthermore, by the display unit 11, passage processing using an information code can be performed.

[0018] Next, the second ticket gate 20 includes a display unit 21, a detection unit 22, an opening / closing unit 23, a control unit 24, a second display unit 25, and a ticket processing unit 26, similar to the first ticket gate 10. Note that the description of the second ticket gate 20 is omitted because its functional configuration is the same as that of the first ticket gate 10.

[0019] In the embodiment, for the sake of explanation, as an example, the second ticket gate 20 is the ticket gate at Station B of the departure station. Note that Station B has a plurality of second ticket gates 20.

[0020] Next, the ticket gate system server 30 includes a communication unit 31, a determination unit 32, and a storage unit 33.

[0021] The communication unit 31 is a communication interface for communicating with the first ticket gate 10, the second ticket gate 20, the mobile terminal 50, etc. For example, it acquires information including an information code from the mobile terminal 50. Also, it can transmit the determination result of passability to the first ticket gate 10 or the second ticket gate 20.

[0022] The communication unit 31 includes, for example, a transmission unit. When it is determined by the determination unit 32 that passage is possible and it acquires information indicating that entry / exit has been completed from the detection unit 22, the communication unit 31 transmits information regarding settlement to the mobile terminal 50.

[0023] The determination unit 32 performs a passability determination based on information regarding the information code acquired from the mobile terminal 50. For example, it acquires an information code and a user ID assigned to the user of the settlement application from the mobile terminal 50. Using the acquired user ID, information code, and past entry / exit information of the user ID stored in the storage unit 33, it performs a passability determination.

[0024] The determination unit 32, for example, acquires the information code and user ID at the time of exit from the mobile terminal 50 that has acquired the information code at the time of exit, and determines passability using at least the information code at the time of entry associated with the information code and user ID at the time of exit.

[0025] Specifically, the determination unit 32, for example, acquires an information code and a user ID assigned to the user of the settlement application from the mobile terminal 50. Using the acquired user ID and the information code at the time of exit, if the past information code at the time of entry associated with the user ID is stored in the storage unit 33, it determines that passage is possible.

[0026] The determination unit 32, for example, determines that passage is not possible if the past information code at the time of entry associated with the user ID is not stored in the storage unit 33.

[0027] The determination unit 32 determines the entry information code from the entry information contained in the information code obtained from the mobile terminal 50. Similarly, it determines the exit information code from the exit information contained in the obtained information code.

[0028] Furthermore, the determination unit 32 determines, for example, the information code at the time of entry or the information code at the time of exit from the acquired information code, and uses the user ID, the information code at the time of exit associated with the user ID, and the information code at the time of entry associated with the user ID from the storage unit 33 to determine whether or not passage is permitted.

[0029] Furthermore, the determination unit 32 may also determine whether passage is permitted or not by including whether there is a difference of a predetermined amount of time or more between the time information included in the acquired information code and the time at the time of determination. For example, if there is a difference of a predetermined amount of time or more between the time included in the information code at the time of exit and the time at the ticket gate or ticket gate system server 30 at the time of determination, passage may be determined to be prohibited.

[0030] Furthermore, the determination unit 32 may determine that entry is not permitted if there is a difference of a predetermined amount of time or more between the time included in the entry information code in the storage unit 33 and the time included in the exit information code obtained when determining exit.

[0031] After determining whether passage is permitted or not, the determination unit 32 identifies the ticket gate from the acquired information code and sends the passage permission determination to the corresponding ticket gate (the first ticket gate 10 or the second ticket gate 20). It also sends the passage permission determination to the mobile terminal 50.

[0032] Furthermore, the determination unit 32 determines whether or not passage is permitted, including whether or not there is a difference of a predetermined amount of time or more between the time included in the information code obtained at the time of exit and the time included in the information code obtained at the time of entry in the past.

[0033] When the determination unit 32 receives from the detection unit 22 that a passenger has exited the station through the ticket gate, it calculates the fare from the station included in the entry information code linked to the user ID and the station included in the exit information code, and sends the payment information to the payment application 52 of the corresponding user ID on the mobile terminal 50. For example, it is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and performs various calculation processes.

[0034] The memory unit 33 is composed of, for example, ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), etc., and stores various types of information. For example, it stores station information for entry and exit, which is obtained from the user ID and information code, linked together.

[0035] The memory unit 33, for example, associates the user ID with the entry information code and the exit information code, and deletes the user ID, entry information code, and exit information code after payment is completed.

[0036] Next, the mobile terminal 50 is, for example, a portable electronic device such as a smartphone. The mobile terminal 50 includes a camera 51, a payment application 52, a communication unit 53, and a display unit 54.

[0037] Camera 51 is an example of a camera unit installed on a mobile terminal 50. Camera 51 only needs to be able to read the information code displayed on the ticket gate.

[0038] The payment application 52 is, for example, an online payment service for paying fares, etc. The payment application 52 may be provided to the user by the company that manages the ticket gate system server 30, or it may be a conventional online payment application.

[0039] The payment app 52 acquires the information code read by the camera 51. Then, it sends the user ID assigned to the user of the payment app 52 and the acquired information code to the ticket gate system server 30 via the communication unit 53. After that, it acquires payment information regarding fares, etc. from the ticket gate system server 30 and performs payment with the payment system server 40.

[0040] The communication unit 53 can communicate with the communication unit 31 of the ticket gate system server 30 via the network. It can also communicate with the payment system server 40. The communication unit 53 sends the user ID and information code obtained from the payment application 52 to the ticket gate system server 30.

[0041] The display unit 54 displays, for example, the result of the determination of whether or not passage through the ticket gate is permitted using an information code, and payment information related to fares, etc.

[0042] Next, the payment system server 40 includes a processing unit 41. It is also connected to the mobile terminal 50 and the credit card statement server 401 in a communication-enabled manner.

[0043] The processing unit 41 performs a settlement with, for example, the credit card statement server 401 based on the settlement information obtained from the mobile terminal 50. Alternatively, the processing unit 41 may perform the settlement from the user balance that has been pre-charged to the payment app 52. After the settlement is completed, the processing unit 41 notifies the mobile terminal 50 that the settlement has been completed.

[0044] Next, a ticket gate will be described using Figure 2 as an example, with respect to the second ticket gate 20. Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance and installation state of a simple ticket gate, which is an example of a ticket gate according to the embodiment. Although the second ticket gate 20 will be used as an example, the same applies to the first ticket gate 10.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2, multiple second ticket gates 20 are provided. The second ticket gates 20 are, for example, box-shaped enclosures and are installed to form passages (entrance / exit gates) for entering or exiting the station premises.

[0046] The second ticket gate 20 can be configured to allow passage in a specific direction depending on its installation. Furthermore, a display unit 21, a second display unit 25, and a ticket processing unit 26 are arranged on, for example, the top surface of the housing constituting the second ticket gate 20.

[0047] Here, we will explain how to determine whether or not a passenger can pass through the first ticket gate 10 to enter the station premises using an information code. For example, a passenger reads the information code displayed on the display unit 11 at the first ticket gate 10 of Station A using the camera 51 of their mobile terminal 50.

[0048] The acquired information code and the user ID of the payment app 52 are sent from the mobile terminal 50 to the ticket gate system server 30. The user ID and the information code at the time of entry are stored in the memory unit 33 of the ticket gate system server 30, linked together.

[0049] The determination unit 32 of the ticket gate system server 30 determines that passage is permitted if the user ID and the entry information code can be linked. For example, if the user ID and the entry information code have already been linked, it determines that passage is not permitted.

[0050] Next, we will explain how to determine whether or not a passenger can pass through the second ticket gate 20 when exiting the station using an information code. For example, a passenger reads the information code displayed on the display unit 21 at the second ticket gate 20 of Station B using the camera 51 of their mobile terminal 50.

[0051] The acquired information code and the user ID of the payment app 52 are sent from the mobile terminal 50 to the ticket gate system server 30. The determination unit 32 of the ticket gate system server 30 uses the acquired user ID and the information code at the time of exit, and the user ID and the information code at the time of entry stored in the storage unit 33 to determine whether passage is permitted.

[0052] Furthermore, for example, if the determination unit 32 determines that passage is permitted, the control unit 24 can open the opening / closing unit 23 provided on the side of the second ticket gate 20. Note that the ticket gate is not limited to passage processing using information codes; passage is also possible by holding a ticket medium such as an IC card over the ticket processing unit 26, as in the conventional method.

[0053] Next, we will explain the payment process after exiting the terminal using Figure 3. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the payment screen displayed on the display unit 54 of the mobile terminal 50 according to this embodiment.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3, this is payment information sent from the ticket gate system server 30 to the mobile terminal 50 after exiting the station. For example, the payment application 52 screen displays payment information such as the result of the pass-through determination, the entry station, the exit station, and the fare.

[0055] Next, we will explain the determination of whether or not to allow passage upon exit and the payment processing using Figure 4. Figure 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the ticket gate system 100 according to this embodiment.

[0056] As a premise, we will explain using the example of a passenger entering at Station A, where the user ID and entry information code are stored in the memory unit 33 of the ticket gate system server 30.

[0057] First, the passenger approaches the second ticket gate 20 to exit the station from Station B. The display unit 21 of the second ticket gate 20 displays an information code (step S1).

[0058] The detection unit 22 of the second ticket gate 20 detects a passenger located at the second ticket gate 20 from within the station premises (step S2).

[0059] The passenger uses the camera 51 of the mobile terminal 50 to read the exit information code displayed on the display unit 21 (step S3).

[0060] The payment app 52 on the mobile terminal 50 sends the acquired exit information code and user ID to the ticket gate system server 30 (step S4).

[0061] The communication unit 31 of the ticket gate system server 30 obtains the exit information code and user ID from the mobile terminal 50. The determination unit 32 determines from the information contained in the information code that it is the exit information code. Then, it determines whether passage is permitted or not using the obtained exit information code and the user ID of the payment application 52 (step S5).

[0062] The determination unit 32, for example, obtains the exit information code and user ID from the mobile terminal 50 as a method for determining whether or not to allow passage. It also obtains information related to the user ID obtained from the mobile terminal 50 from the storage unit 33. Specifically, for example, it obtains the entry information code associated with the corresponding user ID from the storage unit 33.

[0063] Then, if the user ID obtained from the mobile terminal 50, the exit information code associated with the user ID, and the entry information code associated with the user ID are obtained, it is determined that passage is permitted. On the other hand, if the entry information code associated with the corresponding user ID cannot be obtained from the storage unit 33, it may be determined that passage is not permitted. After that, the communication unit 31 sends the passage permission / failure determination result from the determination unit 32 to the second ticket gate 20.

[0064] Next, the control unit 24 of the second ticket gate 20 obtains the passability determination result (step S6).

[0065] The opening / closing unit 23 opens the door, for example, if the acquired determination result indicates that passage is permitted. For example, the opening / closing unit 23 is controlled by the control unit 24 to open the door (step S7).

[0066] Furthermore, the opening / closing unit 23 may close the door if, for example, the acquired determination result indicates that passage is not permitted. For example, the opening / closing unit 23 is controlled by the control unit 24 to close the door.

[0067] The detection unit 22 detects that a passenger located at the second ticket gate 20 is exiting the station (step S8).

[0068] Then, the detection unit 22 notifies the ticket gate system server 30 of the detected passenger's exit via the control unit 24 (step S9).

[0069] The determination unit 32 of the ticket gate system server 30 receives a passenger's exit notification. After receiving the exit notification, the determination unit 32 sends the determination result that passage is permitted and payment information including the fare to the mobile terminal 50 (step S10).

[0070] The determination unit 32 generates payment information, including the fare, based on the station information included in the information code at the time of entry and the station information included in the information code at the time of exit.

[0071] The display unit 54 of the mobile terminal 50 displays payment information on the screen of the payment application 52 (step S11).

[0072] The payment application 52 sends payment information to the payment system server 40. The processing unit 41 of the payment system server 40 performs the payment, for example, via the credit card statement server 401. After the payment is completed, the processing unit 41 notifies the mobile terminal 50 that the payment is complete (step S12).

[0073] The display unit 54 of the mobile terminal 50 displays "Payment complete" on the screen of the payment application 52 (step S13).

[0074] The display unit 21 of the second ticket gate 20 is updated, for example, by the control unit 24 with updated information codes (step S14).

[0075] The displayed information codes only need to be updated at predetermined intervals. For example, they can be updated every minute.

[0076] The ticket gate system of this embodiment is a ticket gate system including a ticket gate and a ticket gate system server capable of determining whether or not passage through the ticket gate is permitted. The ticket gate includes a display unit that displays an information code and a detection unit that detects entry and exit. The ticket gate system server includes a determination unit that obtains an information code at the time of exit and a user ID from a mobile terminal that has obtained an information code at the time of exit, and determines whether or not passage is permitted using at least the information code at the time of entry that is linked to the information code at the time of exit and the user ID. The determination unit determines that passage is permitted and obtains information from the detection unit that entry and exit have been completed, and transmits information related to payment to the mobile terminal.

[0077] According to this system, the ticket gate can determine whether or not a passenger is allowed to pass through, and payment can be processed only after the user has entered or exited the station. Therefore, compared to when the ticket gate determines whether or not a passenger is allowed to pass through and processes the payment, the waiting time for passengers at the ticket gate can be reduced.

[0078] In the ticket gate system of this embodiment, the ticket gate system server further comprises a storage unit that stores an information code associated with the acquired user ID, and the determination unit determines from the acquired information code whether it is an information code for entry or an information code for exit, and determines whether passage is permitted using the user ID, the information code for exit associated with the user ID, and the information code for entry associated with the user ID from the storage unit.

[0079] According to this, the system can determine whether or not a user is allowed to pass through by using the information code used at the time of entry and the information code used at the time of exit, which are linked to the user ID.

[0080] In the ticket gate system of this embodiment, the display unit of the ticket gate updates the information code to be displayed at predetermined intervals.

[0081] According to this, by updating the information code displayed on the ticket gate's display unit at predetermined intervals, it is possible to reduce unauthorized entry and exit to the ticket gate using the information code.

[0082] In the ticket gate system of this embodiment, the information code includes information about the time, and the determination unit determines whether or not passage is permitted, including whether or not there is a difference of a predetermined time or more between the time included in the acquired information code and the time of determination.

[0083] According to this, by determining whether there is a discrepancy of more than a predetermined time between the time contained in the acquired information code and the time of determination, for example, if the acquired information code shows a discrepancy of more than a predetermined time, passage can be denied.

[0084] In the ticket gate system of this embodiment, the information code includes information about the time, and the determination unit determines whether or not passage is permitted, including whether or not there is a difference of a predetermined time or more between the time included in the information code obtained at the time of exit and the time included in the information code obtained at the time of entry in the past.

[0085] According to this, by determining whether there is a difference of more than a predetermined time between the time of entry and the time of exit, for example, if there is a difference of more than a predetermined time between the time of entry and the time of exit, entry can be denied.

[0086] The ticket gate system of this embodiment further comprises a payment system server having a processing unit that obtains payment information from a mobile terminal and transmits to the mobile terminal that the payment has been completed after the payment has been made.

[0087] According to this, payments can be made between the mobile terminal and the payment system server, eliminating the need for payment processing by the ticket gate system server.

[0088] Furthermore, the ticket gate processing method of this embodiment is a ticket gate processing method executed in a ticket gate system including a ticket gate and a ticket gate system server capable of determining whether or not passage through the ticket gate is permitted. The ticket gate displays an information code and detects entry and exit. The ticket gate system server obtains the information code at the time of exit and the user ID from the mobile terminal that obtained the information code at the time of exit. The server uses at least the information code at the time of entry, which is associated with the information code at the time of exit and the user ID, to determine whether or not passage is permitted. If the server determines that passage is permitted and obtains information from the ticket gate that entry and exit have been completed, it transmits payment-related information to the mobile terminal.

[0089] Furthermore, the ticket gate system server of this embodiment includes a determination unit that obtains the exit information code and user ID from a mobile terminal that has obtained the exit information code displayed on the ticket gate, and determines whether passage is permitted using at least the entry information code associated with the exit information code and user ID, and a transmission unit that transmits payment-related information to the mobile terminal when the determination unit determines that passage is permitted and obtains information from the ticket gate that entry and exit have been completed.

[0090] Furthermore, a program for controlling the ticket gate system server of this embodiment by computer, wherein the computer functions as a determination means that obtains the exit information code and user ID from a mobile terminal that has obtained the exit information code displayed on the ticket gate, and determines whether passage is permitted using at least the entry information code associated with the exit information code and user ID, and a transmission means that transmits payment-related information to the mobile terminal when the determination means determines that passage is permitted and information that entry and exit has been completed is obtained from the ticket gate.

[0091] Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be carried out in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
