In this aspect, the user terminal 200 may read the QR code, and the user information and the transaction information may be transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the host terminal 100. Upon receiving the user information and the transaction information, the host terminal 100 may associate the user information with the transaction information and store the user information and the transaction information in the host storage unit 120. In addition, the user information and the transaction information need not be linked in the host terminal 100, and the user information and the transaction information may be linked in the user terminal 200, and the information may be stored in the host storage unit 120.

  A QR code may be generated based on a token including a random number, a symbol, or the like as transaction information. Then, the token and the expiration date of the token may be read by the user terminal 200 reading the QR code. By reading the token, the host terminal 100 may generate or restore an order ID, a user confirmation number, a company ID, a vehicle wireless number, a business number, and the like associated with the token.

  The QR code does not need to be used. For example, by displaying a random number on the management display unit 12 and inputting the number on the user terminal 200, the user information and the transaction information are transmitted to the host terminal 100. Alternatively, the transaction information may be transmitted from the management terminal 10 to the user terminal 200 via Bluetooth or the like, and the user information and the transaction information may be transmitted to the host terminal 100 from the user terminal 200 that has acquired the transaction information. .

  A dedicated application may be installed in the user terminal 200, and the information output from the management terminal 10 may be processed by starting the application. As a more specific example, by installing a dedicated application on the user terminal 200, a QR code or the like displayed on the management display unit 12 can be read, and the read information such as the QR code and the user information May be transmitted to the host terminal 100.

In this case, the host control unit 110 may associate the user information with the fare information using the transaction information, and the host storage unit 120 may associate and store the user information and the fare information. In this case, the user information, the transaction information, and the fare information may be stored in the host storage unit 120 as table data. When such table data is stored, it is useful in that management, confirmation, and the like are facilitated. The transaction information transmitted together with the fare information may include only transaction identification information such as an individual transaction number or a vehicle wireless number. In this case, the fare information and other information included in the transaction information stored in the host terminal 100 may be linked using the transaction identification information.

  The user information, transaction information, and fare information stored in the host storage unit 120 may be displayed on the user terminal 200 associated with the user information, another mobile terminal, a personal computer, or the like. In this case, the host control unit 110 may transmit the fare information to the user terminal 200 or the like in response to a request from the user. In this aspect, a password or the like is not required when accessing information about the user from the user terminal 200, and a password is required when accessing information about the user from a terminal other than the user terminal 200. You may do so.

  The management terminal 10 may output the transaction information before or during the provision of the transportation service. The host terminal 100 may acquire the transaction information and the user information from the user terminal 200 before or during providing the transport service. In the case where the user information of the boarding user is known in advance (see the second embodiment described later), the transaction information is transmitted from the management terminal 10 to the host terminal 100, and the host terminal 100 transmits the transaction information to the user information.

《Action / Effect》
Next, operations and effects of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, which have not been described, will be mainly described. Note that any configuration described in “Operation / Effect” can be used as the configuration of the present embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, when adopting a mode in which the host terminal 100 acquires user information and transaction information from the user terminal 200 that has acquired transaction information, and then acquires fare information that can be associated with the user information, This is advantageous in that the waiting time for the user to settle the fare can be shortened. In particular, a mode in which the management terminal 10 outputs the transaction information before or during the provision of the transportation service is adopted, and the acquisition of the user information and the transaction information in the host terminal 100 ends before the provision of the transportation service is completed. In this case, the settlement process for the transportation service is completed only by the host terminal 100 acquiring the final fare information, so that the waiting time of the user can be significantly reduced.

  In this regard, it is conceivable that, for example, only reading of a credit card is performed first when the user gets in a taxi. However, when a credit card is read (authenticated), the user must read the credit card himself / herself, which is a service that is difficult to introduce because it is difficult for a user who is not familiar with such work to use it. . It is also conceivable that the taxi driver reads the credit card, but in this case, the driver cannot drive the taxi while reading the card, so the time it takes to reach the destination Will take. On the other hand, when the user terminal 200 acquires the transaction information output from the management terminal 10 as in the present embodiment, the user terminal 200 only needs to acquire the transaction information, and the work performed by the user Can be simplified. This is advantageous in that it can be a service that can be used by many users.

  Further, when the aspect in which the user terminal 200 acquires the transaction information is adopted, it is advantageous in that the user information and the transaction information can be reliably linked. That is, the application is installed in the user terminal 200, and by acquiring the transaction information using the application, the transaction information and the user information are securely associated with each other, and then the information is transmitted to the host terminal 100. It is useful in that it can.

  When the management terminal 10 acquires the fare information from the fare meter 20 and outputs the fare information and the transaction information to the host terminal 100, the management terminal 10 transmits the fare information to the host terminal 100 when the fare is determined. This is advantageous in that such information can be transmitted to the host terminal 100 after securely associating the fare information with the transaction information.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in a case where the user terminal 200 reads the transaction information displayed on the management display unit 12 and transmits the user information and the transaction information from the user terminal 200 to the host terminal 100, Need only read the information displayed on the management display unit 12. In addition, the operation of reading the screen displayed on the management display unit 12 with the user terminal 200 is easy for the user to understand, and can be expected to increase the frequency of use of the service provided by the present embodiment.

  If the payment method information such as the credit card number, expiration date, debit card number, and debit account information is stored in the host terminal 100, there is a risk that the taxi company will not collect fares. It is also beneficial in that it can be prevented.

  The user terminal 200 may be able to issue a receipt in a PDF format or the like based on the information stored in the host storage unit 120. When such a mode is adopted, the printed receipt may not be issued in the taxi 1. Further, the necessity of the printed receipt may be input from the user terminal 200 or the management terminal 10, and the receipt is printed by the printing unit 29 only when the printed receipt is required. It may be like this. According to such an embodiment, when the user does not need the printed receipt, the user can get off the vehicle without waiting for the receipt to be printed, thereby improving the convenience.

  If the printed receipt is unnecessary, the receipt is transmitted to the user terminal 200 in the form of a PDF or the like using the email address of the user registered in advance at or after the completion of the payment processing. May be done. Alternatively, the user terminal 200 may access the host terminal 100 to obtain a receipt in a format such as PDF. Further, a mode in which a receipt is transmitted to the user terminal 200 when the settlement processing is completed may be adopted. This case is advantageous in that the user can get off the vehicle after confirming receipt of the receipt by mail.

  When the boarding information and the getting-off information for each user are stored in the host storage unit 120, the boarding date and time and the boarding place, and the getting-off date and time and the getting-off location for each user can be stored in the host storage unit 120. This is advantageous in that it is not necessary for a taxi driver to enter a daily report, and is advantageous in that a taxi company can obtain accurate information.

  In addition, when the boarding information and the getting-off information are stored in the host storage unit 120, the usage status of each user can be stored and managed. For this reason, for example, the user terminal 200, the management terminal 10, or the like simply designates a designated place (destination) that has been used in the past, such as a place that the user visits at a certain frequency such as "company" or "home". The guidance to the place may be performed by the navigation system 40. Such a designated place does not need to be a past use place, and may be newly registered by the user. The registration of the designated place may be performed from the user terminal 200 when the user requests the dispatch of the taxi 1, or may be performed from the user terminal 200, the management terminal 10, or the like after the user gets on the taxi 1. You may.

"Method"
An example of a processing mode of the settlement system according to the present embodiment will be described.

  When the user gets on the taxi 1, the driver of the taxi 1 presses the fare measurement start button 21. When the driver presses the fare measurement start button 21 in this manner, the fare meter 20 starts the fare measurement, and the transaction information is determined.

  A user who desires the processing by the settlement system according to the present embodiment taps the management display section 12 of the management terminal 10 installed behind the head of the passenger seat. When the user taps the management display unit 12 in this way, the transaction information is displayed on the management display unit 12 by, for example, a QR code (see S11 in FIGS. 3 and 6). The transaction information may be determined not at the time when the fare measurement start button 21 is pressed but at the time when the processing by the management terminal 10 is started, such as when the user taps the management display unit 12.

  The user starts an application installed in the user terminal 200 such as a smartphone or a tablet owned by the user and reads the QR code displayed on the management display unit 12 (see S12 in FIGS. 3 and 6). By reading the QR code in this manner, the transaction information and the user information are transmitted to the host terminal 100 via, for example, LTE (see S13 in FIGS. 3 and 6). These tasks by the user may be performed while the shipping service is provided.

  The host terminal 100 that has received the transaction information and the user information stores the transaction information and the user information in the host storage unit 120 (see FIG. 3).

  When the user arrives at the destination, the driver presses the checkout button 22. When the settlement button 22 is pressed in this way, the management terminal 10 transmits the transaction information, the fare information, and the disembarkation information to the host terminal 100 (see S31 in FIGS. 4 and 6). At this time, the printing unit 29 may print a receipt describing the fare.

  When the host terminal 100 receives the transaction information, the fare information, and the disembarkation information, the host control unit 110 uses the user information, the fare information, and the disembarkation stored in the host storage unit 120 as part or all of the transaction information as key information. The information is associated with the information and the host storage unit 120 stores the information (see FIG. 4).

  The host control unit 110, having received the fare information, requests the payment agency based on the fare information to use the user information to pay the fare to a settlement agency such as a credit card issuing company, or requests the financial institution to debit the user's account. Then, when the payment of the fare by the settlement agency or the deduction of the fare from the account of the financial institution is confirmed, the settlement processing is completed (see S32 in FIGS. 4 and 6). When the payment process is completed as described above, the host control unit 110 transmits the payment completion data to the management terminal 10 and the user terminal 200 (see S33 in FIGS. 5 and 6). The completion of the payment may be displayed on each of the management display unit 12 of the management terminal 10 and the user display unit 220 of the user terminal 200 that have received the payment completion data (see FIG. 5).

The order ID, the user confirmation number, the company ID, the wireless number, and the business number generated or restored in this way are transmitted from the host terminal 100 to the driver terminal 45, and even if the approval by the driver terminal 45 is requested. Good (S121 in FIG. 14). When the approval is requested in this manner, the credit check for the user may be completed, and the host terminal 100 may confirm that the payment can be performed using the application installed in the user terminal 200. As an aspect in which the host terminal 100 generates or restores the order ID, the user confirmation number, the company ID, the wireless number, the business number, and the like using the token and the user information, the host control unit 110 may use the company ID associated with the token. , A wireless number, a business number, or the like, may be read from the host storage unit 120, the information may be associated with a user confirmation number included in the user information, and an order ID may be assigned to the associated information.

  When the approval is performed by the driver terminal 45, the fact that the approval has been performed may be transmitted to the host terminal 100 (S122 in FIG. 14). Thereafter, the fact that the approval has been performed may be transmitted from the host terminal 100 to the management terminal 10 (S123 in FIG. 14), and the fact may be displayed on the management display unit 12. Further, when the approval is performed by the driver terminal 45 in this way, the fact that the approval has been performed is transmitted from the host terminal 100 to the user terminal 200 (S124 in FIG. 14), and the fact is displayed on the user display unit 220. You may. It should be noted that in the case of adopting the mode of performing the approval by the driver terminal 45 in this manner, it is advantageous in that the driver can confirm in advance whether the user can get off the vehicle without charging the fare to the user. is there.

  The above communication and control may be performed while the taxi transport service is provided to the user.

  When the user arrives at the destination, the driver presses the checkout button 22. When the payment button 22 is pressed in this way, the press of the payment button 22 is transmitted to the driver terminal 45 (S130 in FIG. 14), and a display for approving the payment execution is made on the driver terminal 45.
