A JAVA project is created, the project JDK uses% JAVA _ HOME%, and then a plug-in COMM. After the steps are completed, the server is connected with a serial port or a parallel port device, and samples provided by the JAVA COMM are used for running test.

According to different standards of interface protocols, the use of the JAVA COMM is divided into serial devices and parallel devices, and their implementation is different. The downloaded JAVA COMM shelf packet has complete javadocs documents. Comm, briefly introduced here, there are 13 classes and interfaces under javax.comm, as shown in tables 1, 2 and 3, respectively:

TABLE 1

TABLE 2

TABLE 3

Wherein: the serial device and the parallel device use "SerialPort" and "ParallelPort" as objects, respectively.

The AEA standard instructions refer to computer instructions that conform to the departure equipment standard specified by the european aviation company association.

The check-in equipment in the application is applied to a check-in counter of an airport and specifically comprises first scanning equipment and first printing equipment, wherein the first scanning equipment is used for scanning a certificate held by a passenger, identifying a scanning result to obtain identity information of the passenger, and then transmitting the identity information to a server. The first printing device prints boarding certificates or baggage certificates including documents such as baggage consignments based on the identity information of the passenger and predetermined information.

Specifically, at an check-in counter, when a flight starts checking in, a traveler goes to the check-in counter to handle check-in procedures, the traveler needs to provide certificates, and a worker extracts identity information of the traveler by using first scanning equipment; updating and checking certificate information; printing a boarding voucher; the passenger with the boarding voucher can scan the bar code on the boarding card through the first scanning device to extract the identity information of the passenger, and add special service; the consignment baggage prints a baggage voucher; and adding a frequent passenger card number for the passenger.

In addition, the first printing device may also print a list of passengers at the end of check-in or after the end of boarding at the request of the user.

The boarding equipment comprises second scanning equipment and information display equipment, wherein the second scanning equipment is used for scanning a boarding certificate held by a passenger so as to acquire identity information of the passenger, and verifying whether the passenger is allowed to board through a server; the information display information displays corresponding identity information and simultaneously displays relevant information whether the passenger is allowed to board.

The boarding apparatus may further include a gate control apparatus for controlling the gates to be turned on when the corresponding passenger is allowed to board, so that the passenger can board through the gates.

Specifically, in the boarding cabinet, after the flight starts to board, the passenger goes to the boarding counter to board, and needs the passenger to provide a boarding voucher to self-board, and after the second scanning device scans the barcode on the boarding voucher, a prompt is given, such as: the information display equipment can display XXX to be successful in boarding, and the lamp displays green to prompt successful music; if the failure screen can display the failure reason, the lamp displays red and gives an alarm at the same time; if the equipment is provided with a gate, the gate will automatically open the door under the control of the gate control equipment when boarding succeeds.

The application provides a departure front-end system which comprises a server, and a check-in device and a boarding device which are respectively in signal connection with the server. The server is configured with a JAVA serial port parallel port communication packet; the check-in equipment is used for responding to a check-in request of a user, acquiring check-in information of the user, outputting the check-in information to the server, and completing a printing task according to a preset check-in rule; the boarding equipment is used for responding to a boarding request of a user, acquiring check-in information from the server and providing boarding service for the user according to the check-in information. It can be seen that, in the technical scheme of the application, the support of the CUTE platform is not needed, and the printing and scanning level of the boarding pass can be conveniently served.

In another embodiment of the present application, the check-in device and the boarding device connected to the server may include a serial device and a parallel device.

The serial port equipment comprises equipment such as a boarding check printer, a luggage card printer, a boarding gate scanner, a passport reader and the like, the equipment is connected through a serial port, the bottom layer of a program is realized identically, and the specific steps are as follows:

1. and opening the serial port device. According to a CommPort identifier, getPortidentifier (portName) method, a portName (serial port number, such as COM1) is transmitted, an open method is called to acquire a serial device object (SerialPort), and then a setSerialPortparams method is called to set a baud rate, a data bit, a stop bit and the like. After the device is turned on, the program can obtain the input and output streams of the device: OutputStream and InputStream, with which devices can interact.

2. Status snooping and reading data. The method for realizing the serialEvent in the interface of SerialPortEventListener can realize the monitoring of the equipment state and data. After the device is opened, an addEventListener method is called to register a device monitoring object, then a monitoring event needing to be opened can be set, the monitoring attribute is set, and when the monitored device information is changed, a serial port event (SerialPortEvent) can be acquired in real time in a serialEvent method. By determining the SerialPortEvent, the specific contents of the change can be known. If the device has readable information after setting "notifyondataavailable" (true), "the program will be notified automatically, and the notification information of the device can be obtained in conjunction with the input stream (servalport. getinputstream ()) of the device. Other snoop events are snoops of the device state and can be viewed through the API of the JAVA COMM.

3. And writing data. The output stream obtained according to the serviceport. The transmitted data needs to be added with a text Start (STX) and a text End (ETX), and then converted into a Byte array to transmit the data to the device by using an "output stream. The exchange of the departure equipment is through an AEA instruction, the construction method of the AEA instruction is to multiplex the prior method, only a sending bottom layer is changed, the configuration of the front end and the original equipment is not influenced, and the use and learning cost is reduced.

The parallel port equipment is provided with a stylus printer which is used for printing a statement of the cabin list. The method comprises the following implementation steps:

1. the parallel port device is opened. According to a CommPortName method, a portName (parallel port number, such as LPT1) is transmitted, a parallel port device object (parallelPort) is opened and acquired, the parallel port device does not need to set transmission parameters, and parallel port connection can be directly acquired. The parallel port also needs to fetch the output stream but does not need to fetch the input stream because the parallel port device has no return data and can only send the data stream to the parallel port.

2. And monitoring the state of the equipment. The parallelEvent method in the parallelPort EventListener interface is realized, and the device monitoring can be realized. After the equipment is opened, the equipment monitoring attribute is set, the monitoring events of the parallel port are fewer, the equipment state cannot be accurately judged, and the like, and only the monitored state is subjected to log recording in a program.

3. And writing data. Get output stream () get, can send data to device, note that the data content sent must be the format supported by the device. The transmitted data needs to be added with a text start character and a text end character. The implementation of this step is the same as the serial port, but the obtained output stream is parallel, specifically implementing the reference serial port.
