L'invention concerne également un système de gestion des droits de stationnement du type comprenant :

  • au moins un dispositif de distribution d'un droit de stationnement, le dispositif de distribution comportant des moyens de saisie par un utilisateur d'un code d'identification et des moyens de délivrance du droit de stationnement,
  • un serveur de centralisation des droits de stationnement, le serveur de centralisation étant relié à le ou chaque dispositif de distribution par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison de données, le serveur de centralisation comportant une mémoire de stockage d'un fichier d'enregistrement des droits de stationnement délivrés pour chaque code d'identification.
The invention also relates to a parking rights management system of the type comprising:
  • at least one device for distributing a parking fee, the dispensing device comprising means for input by a user of an identification code and means for issuing the parking fee,
  • a centralization server for the parking rights, the centralization server being connected to the or each distribution device via a data link, the centralization server comprising a storage memory of a data record file; parking fees issued for each identification code.

On connaît du document EP 1 748 393 A1 un procédé et un système de gestion du type précité. Le procédé comprend la saisie de données d'identification du véhicule, telles que le numéro d'immatriculation du véhicule, par l'utilisateur à l'aide de son téléphone mobile. Un droit de stationnement est alors délivré à l'utilisateur par le système de gestion des droits de stationnement après acquittement du paiement correspondant au droit de stationnement, et les informations relatives au droit de stationnement sont enregistrées dans une mémoire d'un serveur de centralisation des droits de stationnement. La mémoire ou base de données du serveur de centralisation comporte des contraintes prédéterminées de limitation de la durée de stationnement pour certaines zones de stationnement où la durée de stationnement est limitée.Document is known EP 1 748 393 A1 a method and a management system of the aforementioned type. The method includes entering vehicle identification data, such as the vehicle registration number, by the user using his mobile phone. A parking fee is then issued to the user by the parking fee management system after payment of the parking fee has been paid, and the parking fee information is stored in a memory of a centralization server. parking rights. The memory or database of the centralization server comprises predetermined parking time limitation constraints for certain parking areas where the parking time is limited.

Pour le contrôle de la validité d'un droit de stationnement d'un véhicule automobile, un agent de verbalisation dispose d'un terminal portable communiquant avec le serveur de centralisation afin d'interroger la base de données du serveur au sujet de la validité du droit de stationnement d'un véhicule garé sur une place de stationnement donnée et faisant l'objet du contrôle. Lors de l'interrogation de la base, l'agent de verbalisation identifie le véhicule en indiquant son numéro d'immatriculation.For checking the validity of a parking right of a motor vehicle, a verbalizing agent has a mobile terminal communicating with the centralization server in order to query the database of the server about the validity of the parking right of a vehicle parked on a given parking space and subject to control. During the interrogation of the base, the verbalizing agent identifies the vehicle by indicating its registration number.

Toutefois, le contrôle par l'agent du respect de certaines règles de stationnement de la part de l'utilisateur peut s'avérer particulièrement délicat dans certaines situations, les règles de stationnement étant imposées par l'opérateur en charge du système de gestion. Ceci se produit, par exemple, lorsque l'agent doit contrôler que l'utilisateur n'a pas dépassé la durée maximale de stationnement autorisée dans une zone de stationnement donnée, en vérifiant notamment que l'utilisateur n'a pas souscrit successivement une pluralité de droits de stationnement dans une même zone de stationnement, chaque droit présentant individuellement une durée inférieure à la durée maximale de stationnement.However, the agent's control of compliance with certain parking rules by the user may be particularly difficult in certain situations, the parking rules being imposed by the operator in charge of the management system. This occurs, for example, when the agent must check that the user has not exceeded the maximum authorized parking time in a given parking area, in particular by checking that the user has not successively subscribed a plurality parking rights in the same parking area, each right individually having a duration less than the maximum parking period.

Le but de l'invention est donc de proposer un procédé de gestion des droits de stationnement permettant à un agent de verbalisation de contrôler plus facilement le respect de certaines règles de stationnement additionnelles, en complément du contrôle de la validité du droit de stationnement respectif.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a parking rights management method enabling a verbalization agent to more easily control compliance with certain additional parking rules, in addition to checking the validity of the respective parking fee.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un procédé selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a method according to claim 1.

Suivant d'autres modes de réalisation, le procédé comprend une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prises isolément ou suivant toutes les combinaisons techniquement possibles, selon les revendications dépendantes 2 à 10.According to other embodiments, the method comprises one or more of the following features, taken individually or in any technically possible combination, according to the dependent claims 2 to 10.

L'invention a également pour objet un système de gestion selon la revendication 11.The invention also relates to a management system according to claim 11.

Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, le système est selon la revendication 12.According to another embodiment, the system is according to claim 12.

Le fonctionnement du système de gestion 10 selon l'invention va désormais être expliqué à l'aide de l'organigramme de la figure 2.The operation of the management system 10 according to the invention will now be explained using the flowchart of the figure 2 .

Lors de l'étape initiale 100, l'utilisateur 27 saisit, auprès du dispositif de distribution 12, son code d'identification à l'aide des moyens de saisie 20, 23, 24A, 24B.During the initial step 100, the user 27 enters, at the distribution device 12, his identification code using the input means 20, 23, 24A, 24B.

Le dispositif de distribution 12 envoie alors, à destination du serveur de centralisation 14 et à l'aide du logiciel d'envoi 58, une requête d'obtention du fichier de limitation 50 comme représenté sur l'exemple de la figure 2 (étape 110).The distribution device 12 then sends, to the centralization server 14 and with the aid of the sending software 58, a request to obtain the limitation file 50 as represented in the example of FIG. figure 2 (step 110).

En variante, le dispositif de distribution 12 envoie, à destination du serveur de centralisation 14, une requête d'obtention du fichier d'enregistrement 35.In a variant, the distribution device 12 sends, to the centralization server 14, a request to obtain the registration file 35.

En réponse à la requête reçue, le serveur de centralisation 14 émet, lors de l'étape 120, à destination du dispositif de distribution 12 et à l'aide du logiciel d'émission 48, le fichier de limitation 50 contenant la liste de limitations pour le code d'identification saisi par l'utilisateur 27.In response to the request received, the centralization server 14 sends, during the step 120, to the distribution device 12 and using the transmission software 48, the limitation file 50 containing the list of limitations. for the identification code entered by the user 27.

En variante, le serveur de centralisation 14 émet, en réponse à la requête reçue, à destination du dispositif de distribution 12 et à l'aide du logiciel d'émission 48, le fichier d'enregistrement 35.Alternatively, the centralization server 14 transmits, in response to the received request, to the distribution device 12 and using the transmission software 48, the recording file 35.

En complément, lorsque plusieurs codes d'identification correspondent à un même véhicule ou à un même abonné, le serveur de centralisation 14 associe le code d'identification, saisi par l'utilisateur et reçu du dispositif de distribution 12, à l'autre ou aux autres codes d'identification correspondant au même véhicule ou au même abonné, afin de déterminer le fichier de limitation 50 ou le fichier d'enregistrement 35 pour l'ensemble des codes d'identification correspondant au même véhicule ou au même abonné.In addition, when several identification codes correspond to the same vehicle or the same subscriber, the centralization server 14 associates the identification code, entered by the user and received from the distribution device 12, to the other or to the other identification codes corresponding to the same vehicle or to the same subscriber, in order to determine the limitation file 50 or the registration file 35 for all the identification codes corresponding to the same vehicle or to the same subscriber.

Le dispositif de distribution 12 traite ensuite, à l'aide du logiciel de traitement 60, le fichier de limitation 50 reçu, contenant notamment la liste de limitations pour le code d'identification de l'utilisateur 27 (étape 130). Il affiche alors à l'écran 18 le ou les seuls droits de stationnement autorisés pour le code d'identification correspondant, compte tenu de la limitation du ou des droits ultérieurs, déterminée précédemment par le serveur de centralisation 14. L'homme du métier comprendra que les droits ultérieurs déterminés lors de l'étape de limitation précédente correspondent aux droits autorisés affichés lors de l'étape 130. Autrement dit, le dispositif de distribution affiche seulement le ou les droits autorisés, et n'affiche pas les droits ne pouvant pas être délivrés compte tenu de la limitation résultant des règles imposées par l'opérateur.The dispensing device 12 then processes, using the processing software 60, the limitation file 50 received, containing in particular the list of limitations for the identification code of the user 27 (step 130). It then displays on the screen 18 the only authorized parking rights for the corresponding identification code, given the limitation of the subsequent rights or rights, determined previously by the centralization server 14. The skilled person will understand that the subsequent rights determined in the preceding limiting step correspond to the authorized rights displayed in step 130. In other words, the distribution device only displays the authorized right (s), and does not display the rights that can not be be issued taking into account the limitation resulting from the rules imposed by the operator.

En variante, le dispositif de distribution 12 traite, à l'aide du logiciel de traitement 60, le fichier d'enregistrement 35 reçu, et affiche à l'écran 18 le ou les seuls droits de stationnement autorisés pour le code d'identification correspondant, compte tenu de la modification du ou des droits ultérieurs, la modification ayant été déterminée précédemment à l'aide du logiciel de modification 54 du dispositif de distribution. L'homme du métier comprendra également que les droits ultérieurs, déterminés lors de l'étape de modification précédente, correspondent aux droits autorisés affichés lors de cette étape.In a variant, the dispensing device 12 processes, with the aid of the processing software 60, the received registration file 35 and displays on the screen 18 the one or only authorized parking rights for the corresponding identification code. , given the modification of the subsequent rights or rights, the modification having been determined previously using the modification software 54 of the distribution device. Those skilled in the art will also understand that the subsequent rights, determined during the preceding modification step, correspond to the authorized rights displayed during this step.

Lors de l'étape 140, l'utilisateur 27 sélectionne alors, à l'aide du clavier 20, le droit de stationnement souhaité parmi le ou les droits de stationnement autorisés et affichés. Il acquitte le paiement correspondant au droit de stationnement sélectionné à l'aide de l'appareil de paiement 25 si nécessaire, le droit de stationnement étant gratuit dans certains cas.In step 140, the user 27 then selects, using the keyboard 20, the desired parking right from the authorized parking rights and displayed. It pays the payment corresponding to the parking fee selected using the payment device 25 if necessary, the parking fee being free in some cases.

Le droit de stationnement est enfin délivré lors de l'étape 150 par le logiciel de délivrance 52.The parking fee is finally delivered at step 150 by the issuing software 52.

Après la délivrance du droit de stationnement, les informations du droit de stationnement, notamment celles relatives à la zone de stationnement et à la durée de stationnement, sont transmises au serveur de centralisation 14 par le dispositif de distribution 12, afin d'être enregistrées dans le fichier d'enregistrement 35 lors de l'étape 160.After the issuance of the parking fee, the information of the parking fee, including that relating to the parking area and the parking period, are transmitted to the centralization server 14 by the distribution device 12, in order to be registered in the recording file 35 in step 160.

En complément, lorsque l'utilisateur s'est identifié, de préférence de manière sécurisée, il a la possibilité de réduire ou d'augmenter la durée de son droit de stationnement délivré, également appelé droit actuel de stationnement, à l'aide du logiciel de changement 62. En d'autres termes, si les besoins de l'utilisateur 27 ont évolué, celui-ci interrompt de manière anticipée le droit actuel de stationnement ou au contraire prolonge ledit droit actuel sans avoir à obtenir un nouveau droit de stationnement.In addition, when the user has identified himself, preferably in a secure manner, he has the possibility of reducing or increasing the duration of his delivered parking right, also called current parking right, using the software 62. In other words, if the needs of the user 27 have evolved, the latter prematurely interrupts the current parking fee or otherwise extends the current right without having to obtain a new parking fee.

Les informations du droit de stationnement ainsi changé à l'aide du logiciel de changement 62 sont transmises au serveur de centralisation 14 par le dispositif de distribution 12, afin d'être enregistrées dans le fichier d'enregistrement 35. Un tel changement du droit actuel de stationnement aura donc un effet sur la modification du droit ultérieur de stationnement.The information of the parking fee thus changed using the change software 62 is transmitted to the centralization server 14 by the distribution device 12, in order to be recorded in the registration file 35. Such a change in the current law parking will therefore have an effect on the modification of the subsequent parking fee.

Le système de gestion 10 selon l'invention permet ainsi de modifier le droit ultérieur de stationnement, pour chaque code d'identification, en fonction de droits de stationnement précédemment délivrés et enregistrés dans le fichier d'enregistrement 35, chaque modification étant associée à une zone de stationnement et à un intervalle de temps. Cette modification du droit ultérieur de stationnement permet de prendre en compte des règles de stationnement imposées par l'opérateur en charge du système de gestion, tout en ne complexifiant pas le contrôle effectué par l'agent de verbalisation. En effet, le droit ultérieur de stationnement est, avant d'être délivré, modifié de telle sorte qu'il respecte ces règles imposées, et l'agent n'a alors pas à vérifier le respect de ces règles par l'utilisateur 27.The management system 10 according to the invention thus makes it possible to modify the subsequent parking right, for each identification code, according to parking rights previously issued and recorded in the registration file 35, each modification being associated with a parking area and at a time interval. This modification of the subsequent parking fee makes it possible to take into account parking rules imposed by the operator in charge of the management system, while not complicating the control performed by the verbalizing agent. In fact, the subsequent parking right is, before being issued, modified in such a way that it complies with these imposed rules, and the agent does not have to check compliance with these rules by the user.

Les règles de stationnement imposées sont associées à un véhicule donné ou à un abonné donné, et lorsqu'une pluralité de codes d'identification correspond audit véhicule ou audit abonné, le logiciel d'association 51 associe l'ensemble des codes d'identification correspondant au même véhicule ou même abonné à partir du seul code d'identification saisi. Ceci permet alors déterminer de manière exhaustive le fichier de limitation 50 ou le fichier d'enregistrement 35 pour le véhicule ou l'abonné, malgré la pluralité de codes d'identification correspondant audit véhicule ou audit abonné. Autrement dit, le droit ultérieur de stationnement est, avant d'être délivré, modifié de telle sorte qu'il respecte ces règles imposées, quand bien même plusieurs codes d'identification correspondent au véhicule ou à l'abonné et qu'un seul code a été saisi par l'utilisateur 27.The imposed parking rules are associated with a given vehicle or subscriber, and when a plurality of identification codes correspond to said vehicle or said subscriber, the association software 51 associates the set of corresponding identification codes. to the same vehicle or even subscriber from the unique identification code entered. This then makes it possible to exhaustively determine the limitation file 50 or the registration file 35 for the vehicle or the subscriber, despite the plurality of identification codes corresponding to said vehicle or said subscriber. In other words, the subsequent parking right is, before being issued, modified so that it respects these imposed rules, even if several identification codes correspond to the vehicle or the subscriber and only one code has been entered by the user 27.

De cette modification résulte, par exemple, une limitation de la durée de stationnement associée à une zone de stationnement donnée, ou encore une interdiction de délivrance d'un droit de stationnement associée à une zone de stationnement et un intervalle de temps donnés.This modification results, for example, a limitation of the parking time associated with a given parking area, or a prohibition of issuance of a parking right associated with a parking area and a given time interval.

La limitation du droit stationnement ou l'interdiction de délivrance d'un droit de stationnement sont, par exemple, associées à une catégorie d'abonnés donnée.The limitation of the parking fee or the prohibition of the issue of a parking fee are, for example, associated with a given category of subscribers.

La modification correspond, par exemple, à un quota prédéterminé lorsque l'utilisateur 27 est un abonné ayant souscrit un abonnement auprès de l'opérateur en charge du système de gestion.The modification corresponds, for example, to a predetermined quota when the user 27 is a subscriber who has subscribed to the operator in charge of the management system.

En variante, lorsque le droit ultérieur de stationnement est délivré uniquement s'il ne correspond pas à une limitation de la liste de limitations de délivrance, les règles imposées sont alors également nécessairement respectées, puisque la limitation a été précédemment calculée de façon à respecter ces règles imposées.As a variant, when the subsequent parking right is issued only if it does not correspond to a limitation of the list of delivery limitations, the rules imposed are then necessarily also respected, since the limitation has previously been calculated so as to meet these limits. imposed rules.

Cette limitation est, par exemple, une limitation de délivrance du droit ultérieur, telle qu'une limitation de la durée de stationnement associée à une zone de stationnement donnée, ou encore une interdiction de délivrance d'un droit de stationnement associée à une zone de stationnement et un intervalle de temps donnés. La limitation du droit stationnement ou l'interdiction de délivrance d'un droit de stationnement résultent, par exemple d'un quota prédéterminé lorsque l'utilisateur 27 est un abonné.This limitation is, for example, a limitation of delivery of the subsequent right, such as a limitation of the parking time associated with a given parking area, or a prohibition of issuance of a parking right associated with a parking area. parking and a given time interval. The limitation of the parking fee or the prohibition of the issue of a parking fee result, for example, from a predetermined quota when the user 27 is a subscriber.

L'émission du fichier de limitation 50 par le serveur 14 à destination du dispositif de distribution 12 facilite la détermination par le dispositif de distribution 12 des droits ultérieurs autorisés pour le code d'identification saisi, puisque les calculs ont été préalablement effectués par le logiciel de calcul 46 du serveur. Ceci permet en outre d'améliorer l'autonomie du dispositif de distribution 12 lorsque celui-ci est alimenté en énergie électrique par la batterie rechargeable.The issuing of the limitation file 50 by the server 14 to the distribution device 12 facilitates the determination by the distribution device 12 of the rights subsequent authorizations for the identification code entered, since the calculations were previously performed by the calculation software 46 of the server. This also improves the autonomy of the dispensing device 12 when the latter is supplied with electrical energy by the rechargeable battery.

L'homme du métier comprendra que le système et le procédé selon l'invention comportent, selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'émission d'un fichier d'autorisation par le serveur 14 à destination du dispositif de distribution 12, en lieu et place du fichier de limitation 50, le fichier d'autorisation comportant une liste d'autorisations de délivrance, le droit ultérieur de stationnement étant délivré uniquement s'il correspond à une autorisation de la liste d'autorisations de délivrance.Those skilled in the art will understand that the system and the method according to the invention comprise, according to another embodiment, the issuance of an authorization file by the server 14 for the distribution device 12, in place and place of the limitation file 50, the authorization file having a list of issuing authorizations, the subsequent parking right being issued only if it corresponds to an authorization from the list of issuing authorizations.

On conçoit ainsi que le système et le procédé selon l'invention permettent à un agent de verbalisation de contrôler plus facilement le respect de certaines règles de stationnement additionnelles, en complément du contrôle de la validité du droit de stationnement respectif.It is thus conceivable that the system and the method according to the invention allow a verbalization agent to more easily control compliance with certain additional parking rules, in addition to checking the validity of the respective parking fee.
