Abstract

The key fob (1,2) has an incorporated IC data carrier (2) for acting as an access card for a car-park, positioned within an open reception frame (3) at a credit loading or debiting point, for entering a pre-payment amount and debiting the parking charge each time the car-park is used. The key fob allows accurate positioning of the data carrier relative to the frame, for contactless credit data transfer via an electromagnetic AC field. The car number of the user may be stored alongside the credit data as a security measure.

Description

       

  
 



  Die Erfindung ist im unabhängigen Anspruch 1 definiert und beschreibt die Verwendung eines Parkomat-Schlüsselanhängers (1, 2) mit integriertem IC-Datenträger (2) für den Zutritt zu einer Autoparkplatzanlage. Dazu wird der Schlüsselanhänger (1, 2) in einem offenem Einlegerahmen (3) der abgesetzten Lade- und Entwertestation genau positioniert. 



  Der IC-Datenträger (2) funktioniert im kompatiblen, elektromagnetischen Wechselfeld induktiv, kontaktlos mit seiner auf die Übertragungsfrequenz genau abgestimmten Antenne. 



  Der Parkomat-Schlüsselanhänger (1, 2) dient zum Laden und Entwerten der Parkgebühr auf ein separates Parking-Bankomatkonto. Seine Funktion ist durch die genaue Position im offenen Einlegerahmen (3) an der abgesetzten Lade- und Entwertestation definiert. Die im Parkomat-Schlüsselanhänger (1, 2) integrierte Speicherkapazität genügt zum Laden des Geldnennwertes am Notenautomat oder mit der Kreditkarte und zum Entwerten der Parkgebühr pro Zeiteinheit und Zeitzone. 



  Der IC-Datenträger (2) ist neben dem uneingeschränkten Zahlungsverkehr in der Lage, die Autonummer des Halters für die Zutrittserfassung zu speichern, was ein Sicherheitsmerkmal darstellt. 



  
 



  The invention is defined in independent claim 1 and describes the use of a Parkomat key fob (1, 2) with an integrated IC data carrier (2) for access to a car parking facility. To do this, the key fob (1, 2) is precisely positioned in an open insert frame (3) of the remote loading and validation station.



  The IC data carrier (2) works inductively in the compatible, alternating electromagnetic field, contactlessly with its antenna, which is precisely matched to the transmission frequency.



  The Parkomat key fob (1, 2) is used to load and validate the parking fee on a separate Parking ATM account. Its function is defined by the exact position in the open insert frame (3) at the remote loading and validation station. The storage capacity integrated in the Parkomat key fob (1, 2) is sufficient to load the nominal cash value at the banknote machine or with a credit card and to validate the parking fee per time unit and time zone.



  In addition to unrestricted payment transactions, the IC data carrier (2) is able to save the holder's car number for access detection, which is a security feature.

Claims

1. Use of a Parkomat key fob (1, 2) with integrated IC data carrier (2) for access to a car parking facility, characterized in that the Parkomat key fob (1, 2) in an insert frame (3) on a loading and validation station of the car parking facility is positioned exactly.

2. Use according to claim 1, characterized in that the insert frame (3) the Parkomat key chain (1, 2) with the contactless IC data carrier (2) exactly positioned to enable contactless charging and validation of the parking fee.

3. Use according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the IC data carrier in addition to the unrestricted payment transactions is able to save the car number of the holder for access detection.
