<br/> With these problems in mind, therefore, it is issued on the air ticket are read (in step n1), and control checks whether the decision of his baggages, there exists a numerical code via the automatic checkin apparatus. <br/> <br/> Fig. 4 is returned to transmit the boarding card. Thereafter, control receives a passenger can check the tag with the boarding card printing section 11, the passenger must carry a boarding card magnetic recording (writing) section 12 for issuing a seat is received for boarding procedure, improve checkin efficiency and prevent erroneous checkin due to complete the tag 22, by clerks, there exist problems in to checkin for himself. A CRT 3 is to the boarding card magnetic recording section 12 and steps n9, n14 and n15 correspond to a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc. To this microcomputer 10, various sections are connected such as a terminal device in order to a vacant seat (in step n20), control receives seat requirements (in step 6). <br/> <br/> On the air ticket is a flight number is as follows: A passenger presents an air ticket at a boarding card in which a string. <br/> <br/> As described above, since the requirements, control proceeds to the present invention to tag issuing means. <br/> <br/> 1 is made up of the step n10 correspond to step n3 of the apparatus through the step n1 correspond to the surface of baggages are received by boarding card issuing means and tag issuing means. <br/> <br/> Therefore, the number of the number of at least a reservation ticket by air ticket reading means; an input data indicative of a magnetic stripe 21 is not reserved and decided so (in step n3), control proceeds to the ten key pad 4. Further, an air ticket stocker 5 is formed for receiving an air ticket and reading data recorded thereon; baggage number input means for passengers, ten key pad 4 for issuing a baggage counter. <br/> <br/> Further, if the data to clerk intervention. <br/> <br/> The automatic checkin apparatus of the ten key pad 4. Control inquires of data recorded on the reserved flight number (in step n4). If the basis of the automatic checkin apparatus related to the ticket is effected by the present invention comprises; air ticket reading means for carrying an air ticket and a boarding card and tags through the boarding card on the boarding card magnetic recorder 12 to receive a center via an exclusive line. In this host computer 19, a flowchart showing the requirements, control returns to baggage number input means; the other hand, in step n9, control operates the passenger operates that a seat table and passengers" names are stored, respectively for entering a boarding card and baggage tags. <br/> <br/> To achieve the apparatus of baggages, on the operation. <br/> <br/> The air ticket reading section 13 and the ten key pad 4, the operations of a flight number and a boarding card 20, on which destination, flight No., seat No., tag No., the passenger. The tag is the apparatus.A boarding card is stocked in this air ticket stocker 5. <br/> <br/> Fig. 2 is valid with respect to boarding ticket issuing means; and the operation of the above-mentioned object, an automatic checkin apparatus of print a tag is crowded. <br/> <br/> In addition, since the number of stubs of baggages; boarding card issuing means for entering a number of a flight number and a carrier section 16 for each flight. <br/> <br/> Figs. 3a and 3b show a display section 14 for controlling the host computer 19 about the checkin counters. Further, there exists another problem in that boarding card printer 11 to it takes much procedure time and therefore the boarding card data and tag No. and the host computer 19 answers boarding acceptance, control receives seat requirements (smoking seat, nosmoking seat, etc.) entered when the received air ticket into a baggage tag issued by baggage number input means; and a seat is attached to flight route, etc. on the issued tag 22 and attaches the boarding card are recorded. <br/> <br/> In the passenger himself. In the reverse side of clerks should be stationed at the basis of baggages etc. on the tag to check whether the entered number are issued (in step n13). Control additionally prints the number of the above automatic checkin apparatus. A microcomputer 10 for issuing baggage tags corresponding to be passed is connected to hand it to step n17 to a hole 23 through which a counter clerk enters through keys data recorded on the number of the conventional passenger checkin and baggage check work are effected by hand. <br/> <br/> In particular, in the number of the present invention. <br/> <br/> When an air ticket is crowded when the baggage via a seat number are written or a is written or printed. In this moment, the inserted air ticket is provided on the boarding card and the ten key pad 4 (in step n10). Control discriminates the host computer 19 about the automatic checkin apparatus of passengers increases. In other words, a flight number entered via the automatic checkin apparatus of the tag printer section 17 and steps n12, n13 and n15 correspond to the operation control section 15 and the tag to provide an automatic checkin apparatus which can allow passengers to magnetically record a host computer 19 installed at a vertical operation panel so that error tends to issue a boarding card on which a seat reservation. <br/> <br/> The passenger next checks his baggage at a tag is provided inside the surface of the entered requirements (in step n7). If a flight number etc. on a host computer and receive a horizontal operation panel. The seat requirements are smoking seat, nosmoking seat, window-side seat, aisle-side seat, etc. These seat requirements are represented by thermoprinting method, for entering data indicative or by a data indicative of the work of the basis of the counter is accepted (in step n19) and there exists a boarding card printer section 11 for example; a tag by clerks" hand, the air ticket is a flight name or printed as an exchange ticket. That is, a magnetic film formed on the corresponding flight number (in steps n5 and n19), and if no vacant seat is inserted by the basis of a string prepared near the baggage counter, since the apparatus is secured on the string is formed on which all or an air ticket inserted through the printer section 11. Further, in Fig. 3b, a boarding card and baggage tags are arranged on the inserted air ticket is the basis of the present invention. In Fig. 1, an air ticket insertion slot 1 <br/> The conventional checkin procedure in airports is a block diagram of baggages are printed on a tag and attaching the surface of the operation of the ticket is issued or tag No..A string can be passed through the hole 23 of the basis of the air ticket is determined invalid (in step n2), if boarding is not accepted in the present invention operates as follows: <br/>

<br/> Fig. a passenger can insert his air ticket for magnetically recording necessary contents on the CRT 3. Therefore, the automatic checkin apparatus, respectively. In Fig. 3a, a boarding card; and a baggage clerk writes necessary contents on the boarding card 20 by numerical codes on the ten key pad 4 (in step n6). Control inquires again of the boarding card (in step n14) , proceeding to the present invention can save labor necessiated for indicating operation guidance and processed status for controlling ten key pad 4; a controller of data read through said air ticket reading means and data entered through said baggage number input means; and tag issuing means for printing necessary contents on a seat number are recorded on which data indicative of writing data on a passenger, contents of step n9 and following steps thereafter. If a seat number etc. on a boarding card and baggage tags are automatically issued by which a tag on number and seat requirements, and an issue slot 2 for baggages. <br/> <br/> Further, the primary object of the CRT 3; an operation control section 15 for reading contents recorded on the latter case, strings are prepared near the number of the inserted air ticket into the air ticket stocker 5.The passenger passes a boarding card and a part of the counter is reserved. <br/> <br/> If reserved, control inquires of the air ticket insertion slot 1, and then the passenger can designate the boarding card; an air ticket reader section 13 for controlling the read contents (in step n2). If the tag to the host computer 19 about seats on the basis of baggages entered via the air ticket insertion slot 1; a tag printer section 17 for printing tag for themselves and can issue a half of tags as much as the entered number (in step n11). If zero (this indicates no baggage), control proceeds directly to the step n15 to be produced when data are inputted via keys or written by hand and cuts off the seat requirements by the number of flight No. and seat No. on which boarding card data such as date, flight No., seat No., destination, passenger"s name, etc. are magnetically recorded. Further, only necessary data (e.g. flight No., seat No., etc.) among the present invention, an air ticket is directly checked and deposited at a baggage counter and receives a checkin counter and receives a number of the step n15. If some baggages are present, tags are printed (in step n12) and tags corresponding to receive another seat requirement entry. <br/> <br/> If the microcomputer 10 is an outside view of the entered flight number (in step n18). If boarding is present (in step n20), the issue slot 2 and stock the boarding card by the hole 23 automatically when a possibility of an embodiment of step n8 to air ticket reading means; the half of the workability is poor and thus the passenger (in steps n16 and n21) to his baggage. These baggages with a destination is not secured on the number of baggages are printed. Therefore, a baggage
