Gate apparatus
To provide a gate apparatus through which a user can efficiently pass. A gate apparatus is communicatively connected to an information processing apparatus including a first reading unit that reads a store leaving code to acquire first identification information for individually identifying a product for which a payment process has been completed. The gate apparatus includes a pair of side wall portions that are disposed to face each other with a passage interposed therebetween, a second reading unit that is provided on at least one of the pair of side wall portions and outputs predetermined radio waves to read, from an RFID tag attached to the product, second identification information for individually identifying a product that has passed through the passage, and a placement portion on which the information processing apparatus is placed. The placement portion is disposed above a reading region of the second reading unit.
1. A gate system comprising:
an information processing apparatus including a first reading unit configured to read a store leaving code to acquire first identification information for individually identifying a product for which a payment process has been completed; and
a gate apparatus communicatively connected to the information processing apparatus,
wherein the gate apparatus includes:
a pair of side wall portions that are disposed to face each other with a passage interposed therebetween;
a second reading unit that is provided on at least one of the pair of side wall portions and configured to output predetermined radio waves to read, from an RFID tag attached to the product, second identification information for individually identifying a product that has passed through the passage; and
a placement portion on which the information processing apparatus is placed,
wherein the placement portion is disposed above a reading region of the second reading unit.
2. The gate system according to claim 1 , wherein the placement portion is disposed near a center of one of the pair of side wall portions in a direction along the passage.
3. The gate system according to claim 1 , further comprising a metal member that is disposed on a floor surface near an entrance and an exit of the passage.
4. The gate system according to claim 1 , wherein the second reading unit is disposed at a position where a range of a height of at least 90 cm from a floor surface of the passage is a reading region.
5. The gate system according to claim 1 , further comprising a light emitting unit on one of an entrance side and an exit side of the pair of side wall portions.
6. The gate system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a control unit configured to control the second reading unit, wherein
the control unit causes the second reading unit to start outputting the radio waves in a case where the first reading unit detects a user.
7. The gate system according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus includes a display unit that displays a collation result between the first identification information and the second identification information.
8. A control method of a gate system, the control method comprising:
reading a store leaving code to acquire first identification information for individually identifying a product for which a payment process has been completed, by a first reading unit;
reading second identification information for individually identifying a product that has passed through the passage from an RFID tag attached to the product, by a second reading unit that is provided on at least one of a pair of side wall portions that are disposed to face each other with a passage interposed therebetween and configured to output predetermined radio waves to read; and
displaying a collation result between the first identification information and the second identification information on a display unit,
wherein the display unit is disposed above a reading region of the second reading unit.
9. The control method according to claim 8 , wherein the first reading unit is disposed at the same position as or in the vicinity of the display unit.
