Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of the Invention This invention enables passengers to collect a fixed amount of money, similar to a telephone card, instead of paying the fare for a taxi that runs for hire each time they use the taxi. R11lli (Cashless system that creates a taxi card with iQ recorded on it, uses it every time you use a taxi, and the taxi side rewrites the 44 yen exchange value of the taxi card each time. The present invention relates to a taxi card processing device used in the system.

(b) Background of the invention Cashless systems are useful for people who carry large amounts of currency,
Also, due to the risk and complexity of having to prepare small change, they are becoming widely used in many fields, and the above-mentioned telephone card is a typical example. In addition, if this cashless system is used to pay taxi fares, it will be extremely convenient for taxi users and taxi drivers, and both will avoid the hassle of paying change when paying with high-value banknotes. , time loss is avoided, and taxi drivers in particular are kept safe from financial crimes.

However, the taxi meters currently in use do not have the ability to handle and process the above-mentioned taxi cards, so there has been a demand for the development of a systemized taxi card processing device. There is.

(c) Purpose of the invention In view of the above points, the present invention provides a new taxi card processing device as a cashless system, which uses a card reader to collect necessary information from a taxi card handed out by a passenger. At the same time, in order to prevent stolen taxi cards from being used illegally, there is a function to input the PIN code number of the card given by the passenger and compare it with the code number information read by the card reader. The purpose is to provide a taxi card processing device that uses

(D) Summary of the Invention The present invention provides a means for detecting the rotation of the axle of the taxi from the time when the main body of the taxi card processing device is set to be used as a taxi. The taxi fare is calculated by calculating the distance and stopping time using a clock, and on the other hand, the card reader reads various information from the taxi card inserted into the device, and the numeric keypad is used to read various information from the taxi card inserted into the device. The cardholder's pin code number is entered and compared with the pin code number stored in the memory back, and the taxi card being used is valid and the above comparison numbers match. This taxi card processing device is characterized in that it prints out the fare amount on a receipt using a printer and writes the fare amount in a memory pack each time.

(e) Effects of the Invention According to this invention, it is possible to determine whether or not the taxi card used is valid, that is, whether the card has a monetary value commensurate with the taxi fare, and whether or not the card is used. Since it is determined whether the taxi card in question truly belongs to the passenger, fraudulent use of the taxi card can be determined on the spot, and by going cashless,
In particular, the safety of taxi drivers, who are likely to be targets of behind-closed-doors financial crimes, can be ensured.

The memory pack also includes rental fares, used taxis, etc.
By writing the cardholder's PIN code number on the card, the efficiency of back-office tasks such as aggregating rental fees after the work is completed is improved.

Furthermore, the passenger, i.e. the bona fide cardholder,
Since a receipt can be automatically received each time a taxi card is used, the currency exchange value of the current taxi card can be accurately grasped from this receipt.

(f) Examples of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the main body of the taxi card processing device, which includes a main box 1 including a meter and a processing section, a full/vacant indicator 2, an axle rotation detector 3, a memory pack 4, and a card reader 5. are doing.

The main box 1 has a built-in control section 6 (shown in FIG. 3) using a microcomputer, and the panel section 7 shown in FIG. A group of selection buttons 9 such as "Payment" and "Receipt" and other display sections are provided, as well as the memory and
A loading port section 10 for loading the pack 4 and a printer section 11 for printing out a receipt are equipped.

The full/vacant vehicle indicator 2 is connected to the main box 1 through a door 12, and as one of the switch buttons in the selection button group 9 is pressed, for example, if it is a rental run, a display of the rental run is made.

The panel section 7 of the full/vacant vehicle display 2 may be configured to have a separate fare display section 13.

The axle rotation detector 3 is connected to the main box 1 by a cord 14, detects the rotation speed of the axle from the time when the rental run switch button is pressed on the main box 1 side, and sends this to the control section 6.

Memory Pack 4 contains information on stolen or lost taxis.
The cardholder's PIN code number of the card is recorded in advance, and the cardholder's PIN code number of the taxi card used for the rental trip and the rental fee are also written.

The card reader 5 is used to insert a taxi card 15 handed out by a passenger when traveling for a taxi.
Set the cardholder password = 1-card number that you heard from the passenger at the time. This card reader 5 is also connected to the main box 1 via a cord 17.

Next, to explain the operation of the circuit shown in Fig. 3, when you press the "Rental Run" button and drive the car toward the destination specified by the passenger, the axle rotation detector 3 sends the axle rotation speed signal to the control section. 6, and the control unit 6 calculates the mileage from the rotation speed, while
When a car temporarily stops at an intersection or the like, the axle rotation detection signal is no longer input, so the built-in clock calculates the stopping time, and based on this, the rental fee is calculated.

When the passenger pays for the destination by paying for it, the printer section 11 can be printed by pressing the "receipt" button.
prints out a receipt 18 as shown in FIG. 4, and writes the rental fee into the memory pack 4. However, when the passenger presents the taxi card 15, the taxi card 15 is inserted into the card reader 5, and the cardholder secret R code number told by the passenger is entered using the numeric keypad 16.

The control unit 6 reads the taxi card 1 by the card reader 5.
Read out the necessary information from 5, that is, the currency conversion 1111Ii value and cardholder PIN code number that the taxi card 15 has, compare the rental fare and the currency conversion Fr value, and input it from the numeric keypad 16. When the monetary conversion value is greater in the former case, and when the cardholder pin code numbers match in the latter case, the printer section 11 is activated to print out a receipt 18, and Write the cardholder PIN code number and rental fare of the taxi card used in the memory pack 4, and on the other hand write the monetary equivalent value written magnetically on the surface of the taxi card 15 above. Do not rewrite the amount after deducting the rental fee.

However, if the monetary value is small compared to the rental fee or the code numbers do not match, an invalid message will be displayed and
Record this in the memory pack.

FIG. 5 is a control flowchart for the above operation, and as the "rental run" switch is turned on in step 20,
Steps 21 and 22 calculate and display the rental fee. Next, after turning on the "Payment" switch in step 23, if the fare is paid at the cashico, the process moves to steps 24, 25 and 26 to issue a receipt, but the taxi card 15 is not issued in step 27. If so, the information is read from the taxi card 15 in step 28, the validity of the taxi card 15 is determined in steps 29.30.31, and if it is valid, the information is read from the taxi card 15 in step 28.
At step 33, a receipt is issued and the rental fee is recorded in the memory pack.If the taxi card 15 has been stolen and is invalid because it has been used fraudulently, step 34. 35, invalidation display and invalidation processing are performed, and this is recorded in the memory pack. and,
The control ends when the "empty car" switch is turned on in step 36.
