An automatic ticket checking apparatus comprising:

• a main body;
• a first insert port provided at one side of the main body, into which a magnetic ticket is inserted by a user who is passing along a prescribed passage;
• first insert prohibiting means for prohibiting the insert of the magnetic ticket into the first insert port;
• first wireless communication means provided at one side of the main body likewise the first insert port for wireless communicating with a wireless ticket carried by a user passing along the prescribed passage;
• second insert port provided at the other side of the main body, into which a magnetic ticket is inserted by a user who is passing along a passage differing from the prescribed passage;
• second insert prohibiting means for prohibiting the insert of the magnetic ticket into the second insert port;
• second wireless communication means provided at the other side of the main body likewise the second insert port for wireless communicating with a wireless ticket carried by a user who is passing along the different passage;
• approving means for approving the passing of a user who is carrying a magnetic ticket or a wireless ticket based on using data recorded on the magnetic ticket inserted into the first or second insert port or the wireless ticket with which wireless communicated by the first or second wireless communication means;
• control means for prohibiting the insert of a magnetic ticket into the second inserted port by driving the second insert prohibiting means and the wireless communication with a wireless ticket by the second wireless communication means when the magnetic ticket is inserted into the first insert port or the wireless ticket is wireless communicated by the second wireless communication means;
• and
• cancellation means for canceling the prohibition of wireless communication of the second wireless communication means which was prohibited to make the wireless communication by the control means and after this cancellation, to cancel the prohibition of the insert of a magnetic ticket into the second insert port by driving the second insert prohibiting means when the passing of a user is approved by the approving means based on the using data of the magnetic ticket inserted into the first insert port or a wireless ticket with the wireless communicated by the first wireless communication means.

A ticket checking method of an automatic ticket checking apparatus with a first insert port and first wireless communicating means provided at one side of a main body and a second insert port and a second communicating means at the other side of the main body, comprising the steps of:

• prohibiting the insert of a magnetic ticket into the second insert port by a user who is passing along a passage differing from a prescribed passage and prohibiting the wireless communication with a wireless ticket carried by a user who is passing along the different passage by the second wireless communicating means when a magnetic ticket is inserted into the first insert port by a user who is passing along the prescribed passage or a wireless ticket carried by a user who is passing along the prescribed passage by the first wireless communication means;
• reading using data recorded on the magnetic ticket inserted into the first insert port or the wireless ticket with which wireless communicated by the first wireless communication means;
