[Description of operation of embodiment]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail.
[0042]
At the reception of the polling place, the voter exchanges the postcard that becomes the polling place admission ticket with the vote card 23 and proceeds to the place where the electronic voting terminal 1 is installed. An initial screen as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 11 with a touch panel of the electronic voting terminal 1, and the voter inserts the voting card 23 into the voting card insertion slot 12 according to the initial screen.
[0043]
The voting card transport mechanism 16 in the electronic voting terminal 1 transports the voting card 23 inserted from the voting card insertion slot 12 to the read / write position. As a result, the read / write mechanism 17 can read / write information from / to the voting card 23. When the voting card transport mechanism 16 transports the voting card to the read / write position, the voting card transport mechanism 16 notifies the fraud processing unit 141 of the fact.
[0044]
Upon receiving this notification, the fraudulent card detection unit 1411 in the fraud processing unit 141 controls the read / write mechanism 17 to read the information recorded on the voting card 23 (step S71). ).
[0045]
Thereafter, the unauthorized card detection unit 1411 determines whether the voting card 23 is a regular card or an unauthorized card based on the information read in Step S71 (Step S72). That is, if the information read in step S71 includes information indicating that it is a regular voting card and usage information indicating that it is unused, it is determined that the card is a regular voting card, and is not so. If it is, it is determined that the vote card is invalid.
[0046]
And when it determines with it being a regular voting card (step S72 is YES), control is passed to the voting process part 142 (step S73). Now, for example, if it is determined that the card is a legitimate voting card, the fraudulent card detection unit 1411 passes control to the voting processing unit 142 (NO in step S72, S73).
[0047]
When control is passed from the fraud processing unit 141, the voting processing unit 142 controls the display control unit 20 as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, and displays a voting screen as shown in FIG. (Step S81). The example of FIG. 11 shows a voting screen that is displayed when there are two candidates, “AA B male” and “XX Y child”. As shown in the figure, the name and affiliation party of each candidate are displayed on the voting screen, and guidance “Please select a candidate to vote” is displayed.
[0048]
Furthermore, the voting processing unit 142 controls the speaker control unit 19 to output voice guidance such as “Please select a candidate for voting” from the speaker 13 (step S82). Thereafter, the voting processing unit 142 enters an input waiting (voting waiting) state (step S83).
[0049]
When the voter determines a candidate for voting, the voter touches the corresponding part of the touch panel. For example, when voting for “AA B man”, touch an arbitrary position in the frame (A), and when voting for “XX Y child”, touch an arbitrary position in the frame (B). . The input processing unit 21 outputs position information indicating the touch position.
[0050]
The voting processing unit 142 recognizes the candidate who voted by the voter based on the position information output from the input processing unit 21, and stores information indicating the candidate in the voting data storage unit 154 (step S84). .
[0051]
Thereafter, the voting processing unit 142 controls the read / write mechanism 17 to write usage information indicating that it has been used on the voting card 23, and further controls the voting card transport mechanism 16 to transfer the voting card 23 to the voting card collection unit 18. To be collected (steps S85 and S86). Finally, the display unit 20 is controlled to display an initial screen on the display unit 11 with a touch panel (step S87).
[0052]
When the voting card 23 inserted into the voting card insertion slot 12 is a regular card (NO in step S72 in FIG. 7), the above-described processing is performed. On the other hand, when the voting card 23 is an illegal card (YES in step S72), the following processing is performed.
[0053]
When the fraud card detection unit 1411 determines that the voting card 23 is a fraudulent card (YES in step S72), the fraud detection message transmission processing unit 1412 refers to the notification destination storage unit 151 and displays the fraud detection message. In addition to recognizing the notification destination, the communication means used for transmitting the fraud detection message is recognized. Now, for example, if the contents of the notification destination storage unit 151 are as shown in FIG. 3, the fraud detection message transmission processing unit 1412 indicates that the notification destination “taro @ xxx.ne.jp ”and“ 9876-5432-110 ”are recognized as notification destinations of fraud detection messages. The notification destinations “taro@xxx.ne.jp” and “9876-5432-110” correspond to the items “notification destination 1” and “notification destination 2”, respectively. , Recognized as a pager.
[0054]
Thereafter, the fraud detection message transmission processing means 1412 sends a notification to “taro@xxx.ne.jp”, the communication means “mobile phone”, and the content of the fraud detection message “Terminal N at terminal N. And a notification destination “9876-5432-110”, communication means “payers”, and fraud detection message content “Illegal voting in terminal N”. The transmission of the detection message is instructed (step S75). Note that the terminal N in the message is information for specifying an electronic voting terminal on which an illegal vote has been performed, and a terminal number or the like can be used.
[0055]
The mobile mail sending unit 221 in the remote communication control unit 22 is notified by “taro@xxx.ne.jp”, the communication means “mobile phone”, and the content of the fraud detection message “illegal voting was performed at terminal N. The fraud detection message is output to the corresponding notification destination via the antenna 224, and the pager transmission unit 222 sends the notification destination “9876-5432-110”, the communication means “pager”, the content “ The fraud detection message is transmitted to the corresponding notification destination via the modular jack 225 and the telephone line 226 in accordance with the set “illegal voting was performed at the terminal N”. This fraud detection message is received by a mobile phone carried by “Taro Yamada” who is a voting manager of a polling place where the electronic voting terminal 1 is installed and a pager carried by “Hanako Suzuki” who is a voting witness, Is displayed. By this display, the voting manager and the voting witness can recognize that the illegal voting has been performed.
[0056]
Thereafter, the fraud detection message transmission processing unit 1412 controls the voting card transport mechanism 16 and collects the illegal voting card 23 in the voting card collection unit 18 (step S76).
[0057]
Next, an operation when an error occurs in the electronic voting terminal 1 will be described.
[0058]
When detecting that an error has occurred in the electronic voting terminal 1, the error detection unit 1431 in the error processing unit 143 outputs an error code indicating the type of error that has occurred, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. S91).
[0059]
When the error code is output from the error detection unit 1431, the error message transmission processing unit 1432 refers to the error code storage unit 152 and acquires the error level of the error that has occurred (step S92). Now, for example, if the contents of the error code storage unit 152 are as shown in FIG. 4 and the error code output by the error detection unit 1431 is “0x003”, the error message transmission processing unit 1432 has an error level “high”. Will be acquired.
[0060]
Thereafter, the error message transmission processing unit 1432 refers to the notification destination storage unit 151, and recognizes the notification destination of the error message, the notification destination attribute, and the communication means used for transmission of the error message (step S93). Now, for example, if the contents of the notification destination storage unit 151 are as shown in FIG. 3 and the error level acquired in step S92 is “high”, the error message transmission processing unit 1432 indicates that the error level to be notified is “ Notify error messages of notification destinations "taro@xxx.ne.jp", "9876-5432-110", and "S-jiro@xxx.co.jp" that are low, medium, and high Recognize as a destination. The notification destinations “taro@xxx.ne.jp”, “9876-5432-110”, and “S-jiro@xxx.co.jp” have items “notification destination 1”, “notification destination 2”, “ Since it corresponds to “notification destination 3”, it is recognized that the communication means are “mobile phone”, “pager”, and “Internet”, respectively. The notification destination attributes of the notification destinations “taro@xxx.ne.jp”, “9876-5432-110”, and “S-jiro@xxx.co.jp” are “voting manager” and “voting witness”, respectively. , Recognize as “support window”.
[0061]
Thereafter, the error message transmission processing unit 1432 refers to the error message generation data storage unit 153, and acquires the content of the error message for each notification destination attribute (step S94). For example, if the content of the error message generation data storage unit 153 is as shown in FIG. 5 and the error code output from the error detection unit 1431 is “0x003”, the notification attribute “voting manager”, Contents of error messages for “voting witness” and “support window” “Fatal error at voting terminal N: Please contact support window”, “Fatal error at voting terminal N: Contact support window” ”,“ Hardware failure in voting terminal N, error code 0x003 ”.
[0062]
Thereafter, the error message transmission processing unit 1432 passes the notification destination, the communication means to be used, and the content of the error message to the remote communication unit 22, and instructs the transmission of the error message (step S95). In this example, the error message transmission processing unit 1432 notifies the remote communication unit 22 of the notification destination “taro@xxx.ne.jp”, the communication means to be used “mobile phone”, the content of the error message “voting terminal N”. "Fatal error: Please contact the support window" and notification destination "9876-5432-110", error message content "Fatal error on voting terminal N: Please contact support window" And the destination of notification “S-jiro@xxx.co.jp”, communication means “Internet”, error message contents “Hardware failure, error code 0x003” set to voting terminal N, and send error message Is instructed (step S95).
[0063]
The remote communication unit 22 transmits an error message “Fatal error to the voting terminal N: Please contact the support window” to the corresponding notification destination according to the set of the communication means “mobile phone” and the communication means “payer”. The error message “Fatal error to voting terminal N: Please contact the support window” is sent to the corresponding notification destination according to the set, and the error message “Voting terminal N” is sent to the corresponding notification destination according to the set of communication means “Internet”. Send a hardware failure, error code 0x003. The voting manager and voting witness contact the support window according to the above error message, and the support window tells the voting manager and voting witness at the installation location of the electronic voting terminal based on the error message. Instruct or arrange for dispatch of maintenance personnel. In addition, when the vote manager or the voting witness includes a restoration method (for example, press the reset button of the voting terminal N) in the error message sent, the voting manager or the voting witness performs the restoration process accordingly.
[0064]
