Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The operation display unit is connected to the monitoring console server by a dedicated line, and there is a problem that it is difficult to install only the operation display unit in the staff corner. Also, when there is a problem with the automatic ticket gate, the staff needs to execute control of the power operation of the automatic ticket gate by the monitoring console server, for example, power-on, release, or reset. Since these operations need to be executed quickly, there is also a problem that it is difficult to install the monitoring console server in a location other than the staff corner.

[0006] This invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a technique for preparing a staff terminal connected to a monitoring console server and executing control of the monitoring console server and the automatic ticket gate using the staff terminal.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The monitoring panel server connected to the automatic ticket gate and the staff terminal according to this embodiment includes a receiving unit that receives operation instructions from the staff terminal to turn on or off the power to the automatic ticket gate, an operation instruction control unit that generates a power instruction including a first packet for turning on or off the power to the automatic ticket gate according to the operation instructions, and a transmitting unit that transmits the power instruction to the automatic ticket gate. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows an example of a schematic configuration of the station management system according to this embodiment. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a monitoring panel server and an employee terminal, as well as the software configuration associated with that hardware configuration. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the procedure for powering on an automatic ticket gate. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of an operation procedure when multiple operation instructions are received from an employee terminal. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The monitoring panel server, station system, station operation methods, and station operation programs will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, parts with the same number are assumed to perform the same operation, and therefore repeated explanations will be omitted. For example, when there are multiple identical or similar elements, a common code may be used to describe each element without distinction, or a sub-number may be used in addition to the common code to describe each element separately.

[0010] (composition) Figure 1 shows an example of a schematic configuration of the station management system according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the station system comprises a monitoring panel server 1, a first staff terminal 2a and a second staff terminal 2b connected to the monitoring panel server 1, an automatic ticket gate 3, and an operation display unit 4.

[0011] In the following explanation, if it is not necessary to explain the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b separately, they will simply be referred to as staff terminal 2. Also, although Figure 1 shows two staff terminals 2, namely the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b, there may be more than one or two staff terminals 2. Furthermore, for the sake of simplification, Figure 1 shows only one automatic ticket gate 3, but of course, multiple automatic ticket gates 3 may be connected to the monitoring panel server 1.

[0012] The monitoring panel server 1 may be installed in a location different from the staff area within the station, for example, in a designated location within the station, such as a staff room or server room. The monitoring panel server 1 is connected to the automatic ticket gate via LAN, for example. The monitoring panel server 1 can control the automatic ticket gate 3 by sending predetermined commands to the automatic ticket gate 3. The monitoring panel server 1 may also transmit user data of users who use the automatic ticket gate 3 to a central server connected via the network.

[0013] Furthermore, the monitoring panel server 1 may be a server that consolidates the monitoring panels that were previously located in each staff corner into a single unit. In other words, only one monitoring panel server 1 is needed, and even if there are multiple staff corners, there is no need to install multiple monitoring panels.

[0014] Staff terminal 2 is a terminal used by station staff. Staff terminal 2 may be connected to monitoring server 1 via LAN through a HUB (not shown) or the like. Alternatively, staff terminal 2 may be a tablet-type portable terminal and connected to monitoring server 1 by wired or wireless connection.

[0015] If there are multiple staff terminals 2, for example, the staff terminals may be placed in the staff corner and the station master's office. If the staff member in the staff corner is unable to operate the staff terminal, the staff member in the station master's office, for example, the station master, may operate the staff terminal. In this way, by connecting multiple staff terminals 2 to the monitoring panel server 1, even if a designated staff member is unable to process a request, other staff members can take over the processing.

[0016] The automatic ticket gate 3 controls whether to allow a user (passenger) attempting to pass through the passage (enter or exit). One or more automatic ticket gates 3 may be installed at ticket gates in stations, etc. Each of these automatic ticket gates 3 forms a passage through which users can pass. The automatic ticket gate 3 may also transmit user information obtained from the IC card, etc., used by the user to the monitoring panel server 1.

[0017] Also, automatic ticket gate 3 is powered on or open The automatic ticket gate 3 may be capable of switching from a powered state to a powered state in accordance with instructions from the monitoring panel server 1.

[0018] The operation display unit 4 is connected to the monitoring panel server 1 by a dedicated line and may be a conventional operation display unit 4. For example, the operation display unit 4 is installed on or near the monitoring panel server 1. The operation display unit 4 can receive operation input from an operator and display information that the monitoring panel server 1 should display. In other words, the operation display unit 4 may be part of the input / output device of the monitoring panel server 1.

[0019] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the monitoring panel server 1 and the staff terminal 2, and the software configuration associated with that hardware configuration. The monitoring panel server 1 includes a control unit 11, a program storage unit 12, a data storage unit 13, a communication interface 14, and an input / output interface 15. The control unit 11, the program storage unit 12, the data storage unit 13, the communication interface 14, and the input / output interface 15 are communicably connected to each other via a bus. Also, the input / output interface 15 is communicably connected to the operation display unit 4.

[0020] The control unit 11 of the monitoring panel server 1 controls the monitoring panel server 1. The control unit 11 includes a hardware processor such as a central processing unit (CPU: Central Processing Unit).

[0021] As a storage medium, the program storage unit 12 can be used in combination with a non-volatile memory that can be written and read at any time, such as an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), and a non-volatile memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory). The program storage unit 12 stores programs necessary for executing various processes. That is, the control unit 11 can realize various controls and operations by reading and executing the programs stored in the program storage unit 12.

[0022] As a storage medium, the data storage unit 13 is a storage that uses a combination of a non-volatile memory that can be written and read at any time, such as an HDD or a memory card, and a volatile memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory). The data storage unit 13 is used to store data acquired and generated in the process of the control unit 11 executing programs to perform various processes.

[0023] The communication interface 14 includes one or more wired or wireless communication modules. For example, the communication interface 14 includes a communication module that connects to the staff terminal 2 and the automatic ticket gate 3 via a HUB or the like via a wired connection. The communication interface 14 may also include a communication module that connects to the staff terminal 2 wirelessly. In other words, the communication interface 24 can be any general communication interface that can communicate with the staff terminal 2 and the automatic ticket gate 3 under the control of the control unit 21 and send and receive various information.

[0024] The input / output interface 15 is connected to the operation display unit 4, etc. The input / output interface 15 is an interface that enables the transmission and reception of information with the operation display unit 4. The input / output interface 15 may be integrated with the communication interface 14. For example, the input / output interface 15 and the operation display unit 4 are wirelessly connected using short-range wireless technology, and this short-range wireless technology may be used to transmit and receive various types of information.

[0025] Also, the monitoring panel server 1 has a power supply. open Even if this is the case, it is sufficient that power is supplied from the motherboard to each component. In other words, monitoring server 1 may be able to use Wake On LAN, which allows it to receive specific packets and power on.

[0026] Next, the software configuration of the control unit 11 will be described in more detail. The control unit 11 comprises a display control unit 111, an operation instruction control unit 112, and a communication control unit 113. The display control unit 111 controls the information to be displayed on the operation display unit 4. For example, the control unit 11 can obtain information about the status of the automatic ticket gate 3 from the automatic ticket gate 3. The display control unit 111 may control the system to display the obtained information on the operation display unit 4.

[0027] The operation instruction control unit 112 generates a power instruction, which is a specific packet, in order to power on the automatic ticket gate 3 using Wake On LAN. Here, the specific packet is a packet with a specific sequence used to power on the automatic ticket gate 3 using Wake On LAN. The operation instruction control unit 112 may output the generated power instruction to the communication control unit 113. Furthermore, if the operation instruction control unit 112 receives another operation instruction while executing a process according to a certain operation instruction, it may cancel the process and execute the process for the other operation instruction received later.

[0028] The communication control unit 113 may be a receiving unit that receives operation instructions from the staff terminal 2. The communication control unit 113 may also be a transmitting unit that transmits power instructions to the automatic ticket gate 3. Furthermore, the communication control unit 113 may transmit information to staff terminals 2 other than the one that received the operation instructions, indicating that a power instruction has been transmitted to the automatic ticket gate 3.

[0029] Next, we will describe the hardware configuration of staff terminal 2 in more detail. The control unit 21 controls the staff terminal 2. The control unit 21 includes a hardware processor such as a central processing unit (CPU). For example, the control unit 21 may be an integrated circuit capable of executing various programs.

[0030] The program storage unit 22 can use a combination of non-volatile memory, such as EPROM, HDD, or SSD, which allows for on-demand writing and reading, and other non-volatile memory, such as ROM, as storage media. The program storage unit 22 stores programs necessary for executing various processes. In other words, the control unit 21 can perform various controls and operations by reading and executing programs stored in the program storage unit 22.

[0031] The data storage unit 23 is a storage device that uses a combination of non-volatile memory, such as an HDD or memory card, which allows for writing and reading at any time, and volatile memory, such as RAM, as storage media. The data storage unit 23 is used to store data acquired and generated during the process in which the control unit 21 executes a program and performs various processing.

[0032] The communication interface 24 includes one or more wired or wireless communication modules. For example, the communication interface 24 may include a communication module that connects via wire to an external device such as the monitoring panel server 1. Alternatively, the communication interface 24 may include a communication module that connects wirelessly to the monitoring panel server 1. In other words, the communication interface 24 can be any general communication interface that can communicate with an external device and send and receive various types of information under the control of the control unit 21.

[0033] The input / output interface 25 is connected to the input device 26 and the output device 27, etc. The input / output interface 25 is an interface that enables the transmission and reception of information between the input device 26 and the output device 27. The input / output interface 25 may be integrated with the communication interface 24. For example, the staff terminal 2 and at least one of the input device 26 or the output device 27 may be wirelessly connected using short-range wireless technology, and various types of information may be transmitted and received using said short-range wireless technology.

[0034] The input device 26 may include, for example, a keyboard or pointing device for an employee to input various instructions to the employee terminal 2. The input device 26 may also include a reader for reading data to be stored in the program storage unit 22 or data storage unit 23 from a memory medium such as a USB memory, or a disk device for reading such data from a disk medium.

[0035] The output device 27 includes a display that shows output data to be presented to the staff member from the staff member terminal 2, and a printer for printing the information displayed on the display.

[0036] Next, the software configuration of the control unit 21 will be explained in more detail. The control unit 21 comprises a display control unit 211, an operation instruction acquisition unit 212, and a communication control unit 213.

[0037] The display control unit 211 can display various information on the display included in the output device 27. The information displayed may be the same as the information displayed on the operation display unit 4. For example, the display control unit 211 may receive various information to be displayed on the operation display unit 4 from the monitoring panel server 1 and output the received information to the output device 27.

[0038] The operation instruction acquisition unit 212 acquires operation instructions. For example, the input device 26 receives an operation instruction from an attendant to turn on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3. The input device 26 may output the operation instruction to the operation instruction acquisition unit 212.

[0039] The communication control unit 213 may function as a transmitting unit that transmits the operation instruction to the monitoring panel server 1. The communication control unit 213 may also function as a receiving unit that receives operation responses from the monitoring panel server 1. The communication control unit 213 may also receive various information to be displayed on the operation display unit 4.

[0040] (operation) [Automatic ticket gate powered on] Figure 3 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the procedure for powering on the automatic ticket gate 3. The sequence is realized when the control unit 11 of the monitoring panel server 1 and the control unit 21 of the staff terminal 2 read and execute the programs stored in the program storage unit 12 and program storage unit 22, respectively, as shown in this sequence diagram.

[0041] First, automatic ticket gate 3 has a power supply. open The attendant is attempting to turn on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3 using the attendant terminal 2. The output device 27 and operation display unit 4 of the attendant terminal 2 indicate that the power to the automatic ticket gate 3 is openInformation indicating that it is being done should be displayed. Also, the power to monitoring panel server 1 may be turned on. open It's fine if it's done that way. This time, the power supply for monitoring panel server 1 is open Let's assume that it is turned off, that is, the power is off.

[0042] For example, this sequence may be started when an attendant inputs an instruction to the input device 26 to turn on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3. Alternatively, it may be started when the control unit 21 reads a program for turning on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3 from the program storage unit 22 at a predetermined time.

[0043] In step ST101, the operation instruction acquisition unit 212 acquires an operation instruction. The input device 26 receives an operation instruction from the staff member to turn on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3. The input device 26 outputs the operation instruction to the operation instruction acquisition unit 212. Also, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the control unit 21 may read the program to turn on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3 from the program storage unit 22 and output the operation instruction to the operation instruction acquisition unit 212.

[0044] In this example sequence, the power supply of monitoring panel server 1 is open Therefore, the operation instruction includes a power-on instruction for the monitoring panel server 1, which contains a specific packet for powering on the monitoring panel server 1. Here, the specific packet is a specific sequence of packets used to power on the monitoring panel server 1 using Wake On LAN. Of course, if the monitoring panel server 1 is already powered on, the operation instruction does not need to include this power-on instruction.

[0045] In step ST102, the communication control unit 213 transmits the operation instruction to the monitoring panel server 1. The operation instruction acquisition unit 212 outputs the acquired operation instruction to the communication control unit 213. The communication control unit 213 transmits the operation instruction to the monitoring panel server 1 through the communication interface 14.

[0046] In step ST103, the monitoring panel server 1 is powered on. The communication interface 14 receives an operation instruction. Upon confirming that the operation instruction includes a power-on instruction for the monitoring panel server, the monitoring panel server 1 powers on using Wake On LAN. Note that the method for powering on the monitoring panel server 1 using Wake On LAN can be any common method, and a detailed explanation is omitted here.

[0047] When the power is turned on, the control unit 11 of the monitoring panel server 1 may transmit information indicating that the power has been turned on to the staff terminal 2 and output it to the operation display unit 4. The output device 27 and operation display unit 4 of the staff terminal 2 will display information indicating that the power has been turned on to the monitoring panel server 1.

[0048] In step ST104, the operation instruction control unit 112 generates a power instruction. The operation instruction control unit 112 of the monitoring panel server 1, which has been powered on, determines which automatic ticket gate 3 the operation instruction will power on. The operation instruction control unit 112 then generates a power instruction, which is a specific packet, in order to power on the automatic ticket gate 3 using Wake On LAN. Here, the specific packet is a packet with a specific sequence used to power on the automatic ticket gate 3 using Wake On LAN. The specific packet may be the same sequence as the specific packet used when powering on the monitoring panel server 1, or it may be a packet with a different sequence. The operation instruction control unit 112 outputs the generated power instruction to the communication control unit 113.

[0049] In step ST105, the communication control unit 113 transmits a power command to the automatic ticket gate 3. The operation command control unit 112 outputs the generated power command to the communication control unit 113. The communication control unit 113 transmits the power command to the automatic ticket gate 3 through the communication interface 14.

[0050] Furthermore, the communication control unit 113 may transmit information to staff terminals 2 other than the staff terminal 2 that received the operation instruction indicating that a power instruction has been sent to the automatic ticket gate 3. The display control unit 211 of the staff terminal 2 may cause the output device 27 to display information that the automatic ticket gate 3 has received a power instruction from another staff terminal 2 and the automatic ticket gate 3 is being opened. This allows other staff members to know the status of the automatic ticket gate 3.

[0051] Furthermore, the display control unit 111 of the monitoring panel server 1 may display information indicating that the automatic ticket gate 3 has been powered on and will be closed, in the same way as the output device 27 of the staff terminal 2.

[0052] In step ST106, the communication control unit 113 receives a power response. Upon receiving a specific packet which is a power instruction, the automatic ticket gate 3 powers on using Wake ON LAN. After power is turned on, the automatic ticket gate 3 may send a power response to the monitoring panel server 1 indicating that power has been turned on.

[0053] In step ST107, the communication control unit 113 transmits an operation response to the staff terminal 2. Upon receiving the power response, the communication control unit 113 generates an operation response indicating that the automatic ticket gate 3 has been powered on, and transmits this operation response to the staff terminal 2 via the communication interface 14. The display control unit 211 of the staff terminal 2, upon receiving this operation response, may control the output device 27 to display information indicating that the automatic ticket gate 3 has been powered on. Of course, the operation response may also be transmitted to staff terminal 2 other than the staff terminal 2 that sent the operation instruction. Furthermore, the display control unit 111 of the monitoring panel server 1 may also output the operation response to the operation display unit 4.

[0054] In this way, staff members can turn on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3 using the staff member terminal 2 without having to operate the operation display unit 4 of the monitoring panel server 1.

[0055] The power release procedure can be performed in the same way as the power-on procedure described with reference to Figure 3. For example, the operation instruction is to turn off the power to the automatic ticket gate 3. open Any instruction to perform the operation is sufficient. Similar to the operation described with reference to Figure 3, the control unit of the monitoring panel server 1 generates a power instruction to power the automatic ticket gate 3. open This should be done. Furthermore, according to the power instruction sent in step ST105, the power to the automatic ticket gate 3 will be... open Since this will be done, step ST106 can be skipped.

[0056] Furthermore, the operation instructions include turning on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3 or open The instructions are not limited to those for the automatic ticket gate 3, but may include any instructions, such as instructions for updating the status of the automatic ticket gate 3. In other words, the staff member can perform any operation that can be performed on the operation display unit 4 using the staff member's terminal.

[0057] [When multiple operation instructions are received] Figure 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of an operation procedure when multiple operation instructions are received from the staff terminal 2. If there are multiple staff terminals 2, each staff terminal 2 can send operation instructions to the monitoring panel server 1. For example, when an operation instruction is sent from the first staff terminal 2a, the monitoring panel server 1 may receive an operation instruction from the second staff terminal 2b before processing the instruction. The operation procedure for such a case will be explained with reference to Figure 4.

[0058] The sequence is realized when the control unit 11 of the monitoring panel server 1 and the control unit 21 of the staff terminal 2 read and execute the programs stored in the program storage unit 12 and program storage unit 22, respectively, as shown in this sequence diagram.

[0059] This sequence may begin, for example, when an operation instruction is input from an employee operating the first employee terminal 2a and the second employee terminal 2b. The chronological order of the input of the operation instructions is arbitrary.

[0060] In steps ST201 and ST202, the operation instruction acquisition units 212 of the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b receive operation instructions. The operation instructions can be any operation instructions. For example, they may be instructions to turn on the power to the automatic ticket gate 3, or instructions to check the status of the automatic ticket gate 3, etc.

[0061] In steps ST203 and ST204, the communication control units 213 of the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b transmit the operation instructions to the monitoring panel server 1. The operation instruction acquisition unit 212 outputs the acquired operation instructions to the communication control unit 213. The communication control unit 213 transmits the operation instructions to the monitoring panel server 1 through the communication interface 14.

[0062] Here, the operation instructions transmitted from the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b are processed by the monitoring panel server 1. However, the monitoring panel server 1 receives the operation instructions transmitted from the second staff terminal 2b, for example, before it has finished processing the operation instructions transmitted from the first staff terminal 2a.

[0063] In step ST205, the operation instruction control unit 112 overwrites the operation instruction. For example, an operation instruction is received from the second staff terminal 2b while processing an operation in accordance with an operation instruction from the first staff terminal. In this case, the operation instruction control unit 112 cancels the processing of the operation instruction from the first staff terminal and processes the operation instruction from the second staff terminal 2b. In other words, the operation instruction control unit 112 prioritizes the processing of the operation instruction received later and cancels the processing of the operation instruction earlier.

[0064] In step ST206, the communication control unit 113 transmits an operation response to the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b. The communication control unit 113 processes the operation instruction from the second staff terminal 2b, generates an operation response indicating that processing is complete and that the first operation instruction has been canceled, and transmits the operation response to the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b via the communication interface 14. The display control units 211 of the first staff terminal 2a and the second staff terminal 2b, upon receiving the operation response, may control the output device 27 to display the operation response. The operation response may also be transmitted to staff terminals 2 other than the staff terminal 2 that sent the operation instruction. This allows each staff member to know that the operation instruction from the second staff terminal 2b has been processed and the operation instruction from the first staff terminal 2a has been canceled.

[0065] (Effects and Benefits) According to the embodiment described above, the automatic ticket gate 3 can be controlled using the staff terminal 2. This eliminates the need to place the monitoring panel server 1 in the staff area. Furthermore, by connecting multiple staff terminals 2 to the monitoring panel server 1, even if one staff member is unable to control the automatic ticket gate 3, other staff members can still control it.

[0066] [Other embodiments] It should be noted that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the above embodiments, the monitoring panel server 1 is assumed to be located in a predetermined location within the station premises, but for example, a central server may perform the functions of the monitoring panel server 1. In other words, a central server may perform the functions in place of the monitoring panel servers 1 located at multiple stations.

[0067] In short, this invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified in various ways during implementation without departing from its essence. Furthermore, each embodiment may be combined as appropriate as possible, and in that case, the combined effects can be obtained. Moreover, the embodiments described above include inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by appropriate combinations of the multiple constituent elements disclosed.
