13 to 16 show processing executed by the outdoor control device 7.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB transmission process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the transmission start condition is satisfied (step 1000, hereinafter the step is simply referred to as S). In this case, the transmission start condition corresponds to, for example, whether or not the power use key 105 of the operation keys 25 is pressed. Here, if the transmission start condition is not satisfied, this routine is once terminated, and if the transmission start condition is satisfied, the advance payment balance PPA is then stored from the advance payment memory 107 set in the PROM 37. A process of reading and substituting the withdrawable amount PPB is performed (S101).
0). The prepayment balance PPA stored in the prepayment memory 107 in the PROM 37 is a value written by the PROM writing unit 49, and indicates the prepayment amount of the power charge.

The withdrawable amount PPB is used as a variable for arithmetic processing. Withdrawable amount PPB
After the value of the prepayment balance PPA is set in, the withdrawable amount PPB is output to the data input / output interface 43 (S1020). With this, the withdrawable amount PPB
Is converted into serial data by the data input / output interface 43 and is then placed on a carrier of a predetermined frequency.
The data is sequentially sent to the data input / output interface 85 of the outdoor control device 7 via the magnetic coupling coils 41 and 19, the insertion plug 9, the outlet 103, the indoor light wiring 67, and the coupler internal line filter 69. Therefore, the withdrawable amount PPB sent from the power card 1 is received by the outdoor control device 7.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the withdrawal amount TTC receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, a process of reading the withdrawal amount TTC from the data input / output interface 43 is performed (S1100). The withdrawal amount TTC read from the data input / output interface 43 is sent from the outdoor control device 7, and the data input / output interface 85, the coupler built-in line filter 69,
Indoor light wiring 67, plug 9, magnetic coupling coil 1
9 and 41 are received by the data input / output interface 43.

After the processing of reading the withdrawal amount TTC, it is next judged whether or not the withdrawal amount TTC has been actually read from the data input / output interface 43 (S1110).
When it is read, the withdrawal amount TTC is substituted into TTB (S1120). The processing of TTC → TTB performed here is to perform arithmetic processing after substituting the read TTC as it is into TTB.

Next, the withdrawable amount PPB is set to the withdrawal amount TT.
A process of subtracting only B is performed (S1130). Then
The deductible amount PPB after the subtraction is output to the indoor control device 7 via the data input / output interface 43 (S114).
0). FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the prepayment memory management process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is started, first, the PROM 37
The prepayment balance PPA is read from the prepayment memory 107 inside (S1200). Next, the difference between the current prepayment balance PPA read from the prepayment memory 107 and the current withdrawable amount PPB stored in the RAM 35 (| PPA
It is determined whether -PPB |) is equal to or greater than the predetermined difference α (S1210). If | PPA-PPB | <α, the difference is small. Therefore, this routine is temporarily terminated, and if | PPA-PPB | ≧ α, the withdrawable amount PPB is substituted into the prepayment balance PPA. (S1220),
This prepayment balance PPA is written to the prepayment memory 107 (S1230). As a result, as described with reference to FIG. 11, the possible withdrawal amount PPB reduced by the withdrawal amount TTC from the outdoor control device 7 decreases by a predetermined difference α. To
It is written in the advance payment memory 107 of the PROM 37 by the PROM writing unit 49. Therefore, the prepaid memory 10
The history of the prepayment balance PPA will be stored in 7, and the latest PPA will be retrieved as the current usable amount.

Next, the processing executed by the outdoor control device 7 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, the withdrawable amount PPB is read from the indoor operating device 5 (S1).
300). The withdrawable amount PPB read here is shown in Fig. 1.
This has already been described in the processing of 0 and FIG.

After the processing of reading the withdrawable amount PPB, it is judged whether or not it was actually read (S1310), and if it could not be read, that is, if it could not be received, this routine is once terminated and withdrawn. Possible amount P
When PB is received, the next possible withdrawal amount P
PB is the amount of money P that can be withdrawn for calculation in the outdoor control device 7.
Substitute in PC (S1320). Next, the withdrawable monetary amount PPC is converted into usable power amount DDC by a predetermined arithmetic expression (S1330), and this usable power amount DDC is displayed on the display 93 (S1340). An arithmetic expression for converting the withdrawable amount of money PPC into usable power amount DDC is stored in advance in the variable table 109 in the ROM 77.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the withdrawal process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the paid amount SSC has become smaller than the predetermined amount β. (S140
0). The payment amount SSC is an amount set in advance so as to be appropriated for the power usage fee. If the payment amount SSC is equal to or larger than the predetermined amount β, the present routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if it is smaller than the predetermined amount β, it is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the withdrawal amount TTC from the withdrawable amount PPC is “0” or more. It is determined (S1410). Here, withdrawable amount PPC
When it is determined that is equal to or more than the withdrawal amount TTC per time, the withdrawal amount TTC is transmitted to the indoor operation device 5 (S1420).

After transmitting the withdrawal amount TTC to the indoor operating device 5, the withdrawable amount PPB sent from the indoor operating device 5 is read (S1430). Withdrawal amount PP
After reading B, it is judged whether or not the withdrawable amount PPB can be actually read from the data input / output interface 85 (S1440). The routine is terminated as it is, and if it is possible to receive it, the process proceeds to the next process.

When the withdrawable amount PPB is received,
Withdrawal amount PPC minus withdrawal amount TTC,
It is determined whether or not the value of the withdrawable amount of money PPB received from the indoor operation device 5 matches (S1450). That is, here, it is determined whether or not the power card 1 has actually withdrawn the possible withdrawal amount PPB as a result of sending the withdrawal amount TTC from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1.

If the withdrawable amount PPB has not been withdrawn, this routine is once terminated, and if withdrawn, then the withdrawal amount TTC is added to the paid amount SSC (S1460). As a result, when the paid amount SSC becomes small, the withdrawal amount TTC is first withdrawn from the power card 1, and then the paid amount SSC is added by the withdrawal amount TTC.

After adding the payment amount SSC by the withdrawal amount TTC, the electromagnetic switch 65 is turned on (S14).
70). As a result, if it is "off" until now, the service line 6
3 and the indoor light wiring 67 are connected. FIG. 15 is a flow chart of the electromagnetic switch “off” processing,
It is executed at a predetermined time interval in U75. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the paid amount SSC is equal to or less than the value "0" (S1500). If the paid amount SSC is greater than the value "0", this routine is temporarily terminated and the value is equal to or less than "0". If so, then the electromagnetic switch 65 is turned off (S1510), and this routine is temporarily terminated. That is, when the payment amount SSC is exhausted, the electromagnetic switch 65 is turned off, and the connection between the lead-in wire 63 and the indoor electric light wiring 67 is cut off.

FIG. 16 is a flow chart of the power consumption meter reading process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether the output pulse WHS output from the electric energy pulse output unit 61 has a value “1” or a value “0”.
Is read from (S1600). After reading the value of the output pulse WHS, it is then determined whether or not the output pulse WHS has the value "1" (S1610). If the value is not "1", this routine is terminated and the value "1" is returned. If there is, next, it is determined whether or not the value of the previous output pulse WHS was "0" (S1620). If the previous time is the value "1", this routine is once terminated, and if the previous time is the value "0", the output pulse WHS from the electric energy pulse output unit 61 is 1
When it is determined that the individual pieces have been output, the power consumption WWC is calculated next (S1630). The method of calculating the used power amount WWC performed here is to add the predetermined used amount γ to the used power amount WWC each time one output pulse WHS is input (WWC ← W
WC + γ) method. The value of the predetermined usage amount γ is set in advance according to the output characteristics of the power amount pulse output unit 61.

After calculating the used electric energy WWC, it is next determined whether or not the electromagnetic switch 65 is "on" controlled (S1).
640), if the "ON" control is not performed, it is determined that the power amount pulse output unit 61, the electromagnetic switch 65, or the like is abnormal, and an abnormal alarm is displayed on the display 93 (S1).
650).

On the other hand, if the electromagnetic switch 65 is "on", then the used power amount WWC is converted into the used amount KKC (S1660). ROM for conversion to this usage amount KKC
The converted value δ is read from the variable table 109 in 77,
This conversion value δ is multiplied by the power consumption WWC (KKC ← δ
・ WWC).

After converting the used power amount WWC into the used amount KKC, the used amount WWC is then cleared (WWC ← 0) (S1670), and the paid amount SSC is subtracted by the used amount KKC (SSC ← SSC-KKC). Yes (S1680).
As a result, the output pulse W is output from the power pulse output unit 61.
When HS is output, the payment amount SSC is subtracted accordingly.

The power charge payment device DPS described above
With the indoor operation device 5 in the room and the outdoor pull-in board 53 working together, it is possible to use the power corresponding to the prepaid balance PPA stored in the power card 1 in advance. In addition, the power bill payment device DPS is a prepayment balance PPA
The electric power card 1 storing the information may be attached to any place as long as it is the indoor light wiring 67 after the retractable panel 53, and the convenience in use is extremely high. Besides, I have a power card 1
Since it is possible to place electricity, you can turn on and off the electricity of the whole house at any time,
Improves security and economics when you are away.

In this configuration, one outdoor control device 7 and one outdoor control device 1
Although the indoor operation device 5 is provided to cover the electric power charge, a plurality of indoor operation devices 5 may be used to control one outdoor control device 7. This is achieved by making the data transmission between the outdoor control device 7 and the indoor operation device 5 selective, and reducing the prepayment balance in order from the power card 1 with the highest priority based on a predetermined priority. To be done. As a result, the power charges can be applied from a plurality of places with a plurality of power cards 1, and the convenience is greatly improved.

Next, the first embodiment will be described. In this example,
Instead of the power card 1 having the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the power card 201 shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is used to execute a prepayment addition process as described below. FIG. 17
The power card 201 shown in FIG. 4 has a configuration in which a sound signal from the outside is input by adding a microphone 203 and an audio input interface 205 to the power card 1 of FIG. 4, an audio output interface 207, and a speaker 2.
09 is added to output a sound signal to the outside.

With the above structure, as shown in FIG. 18, the microphone 203 or the speaker 209 provided on the back surface 211 side of the power card 201 is connected to the mouthpiece 215 of the telephone 213 or the earpiece as shown in FIG. By facing 217, various signals can be transmitted or received between the power card 201 and the telephone 213.

The flowchart of the prepayment addition processing routine of FIG. 20 is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 201 at predetermined time intervals. When the routine is activated, it is determined whether or not the prepayment payment is added by first determining whether or not the prepayment addition button 219 is turned "on" (S1700). If it is determined that the prepayment is added, then the ID code of the power card 201 is read from the ID code storage area 222 in the ROM 33 (S1710), and the ID code is used. A passcode is generated according to a predetermined procedure (S17).
20). After the passcode is generated, the procedure of the prepayment addition procedure is displayed on the display 23 (S1730), and the user waits for the processing according to the procedure displayed thereafter.

The procedure shown by the display 23 is as follows. (I) Call the power card prepayment addition center by telephone. (II) The back surface 211 of the power card 201 is applied to the mouthpiece 215 of the telephone 213 (as shown in FIG. 19).

(III) Press the first selection button 224. (IV) After the transmission of the ID code and the pass code from the speaker 209, the response code is heard from the earpiece 217, and when the response code is recorded, the response button 226 is pressed and the response code is input from the operation key 25.

After displaying steps (I) to (IV), wait for the first selection button 224 to be pressed (S1740),
When the first selection button 224 is pressed, the ID code and the pass code are output from the speaker 209 for a predetermined time (S).
1750). After outputting the ID code and the passcode, it is determined whether or not the response button 226 has been pressed (S1760),
The output of the ID code and the pass code is repeated until the response button 226 is pressed. When the stop button 228 is pressed, this routine is once ended and the process of adding the deposit is stopped.

When the response button 226 is pressed, a response code is next input (S1770), and it is determined whether the input response code is proper or not (S17).
80). This response code is generated by a predetermined procedure based on the ID code and the pass code.
Therefore, the ID code and the pass code transmitted from the power card 201 to the prepayment addition center are converted into a response code by a predetermined procedure, and when the power card 201 receives this, the input response code is correct. The judgment is made.

When the input response code is incorrect, the display prompting the user to input the response code again is displayed (S1790), and the input is awaited again. If the response code is appropriate, the process of actually adding the advance payment is executed (S1800 to S1830).

That is, the prepayment balance PPA is sequentially read from the prepayment memory 107 (S1800), and a predetermined additional money RRA is added to the prepayment balance PPA (S181).
0), then the amount of additional money RRA is displayed on the display 23 (S1820), and the prepayment balance PPA (← PPA + RRA) to which the additional money RRA is added is added to the new prepayment balance PPA.
As a result, the process of writing in the advance payment memory 107 in the PROM 37 is executed (S1830).

Further, the prepayment addition center 230 is output from the electric power card 201, as shown in FIG.
13 and the telephone line 234 of the exchange 232, etc.
When the D code and the pass code are received, it is determined whether the received ID code and pass code are proper, and then a response code based on the ID code and the pass code is generated, and the power card is generated. While sending to 201, the procedure for withdrawing the advance payment from the account of the employee holding the ID code is executed.

Therefore, by executing the prepayment addition process of FIG. 20, a predetermined prepayment is added to the power card 201, and the added prepayment amount is the bank of the employee who uses the power card 201. Will be automatically deducted from your account. Therefore, since the user of the power card 201 can add the prepayment to the power card 201 by telephone, it is not necessary to go to a predetermined place to add the prepayment to the power card 201. It has an extremely excellent effect of improving convenience.

Further, the passcode is changed every time the prepayment is added, and this is the key for generating the response code. Therefore, the power card 201 can completely add the prepayment by the fraudulent procedure. It has the excellent feature that it is prevented by Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described.

In this modification, the process of the automatic deposit addition routine shown in FIG. 22 is performed instead of the flowchart of the advanced deposit addition routine of FIG. When the automatic deposit advance addition routine is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 201 at predetermined time intervals, first, the automatic deposit advance addition button 236.
By determining whether or not (see FIG. 17 and FIG. 19) is “ON”, it is determined whether or not the automatic payment is added (S1900). If it is determined that the prepayment will be automatically added, the ID code is sequentially read (S
1910), generation of passcode (S1920), display of procedure of automatic deposit advance addition procedure on display 23 (S19).
30) and then waits for the first selection button 224 to be pressed (S1940).
When 24 is pressed, the ID code and the pass code are output from the speaker 209 for a predetermined time (S1950).

After the ID code and passcode are output, the resend button 238 has been pressed, or the receive button 240 has been pressed.
It is determined whether is pressed (S1960), and resend button 2
When 38 is pressed, it is determined that there is no response from the prepayment addition center 230, and the ID code, the pass code, and the re-transmission code indicating the re-transmission are transmitted.

When the receiving button 240 is pressed, it is determined that the response code is transmitted from the advance payment adding center 230, and the response code is received through the microphone 203 (S1970), It is determined whether the received response code is proper or not (S1980).

When the power transmission determination routine shown in FIG. 25 is started by the outdoor control device 274, first, the wind power generation device 256 is started.
The power generation state of the wind power generator 256 is determined based on the output signal of the generator output sensor 294 and the power amount of the power meter 57 is referred to, and the power generation amount of the wind turbine generator 256 is larger than the power amount of the power meter 57 by a predetermined value or more. It is determined whether or not it is possible to transmit power to the distribution line 250 based on the determination as to whether or not it is possible (S2100).

If it is determined that the power can be transmitted, the NO. The first electromagnetic switch 65 is turned off (S2110), and then the NO. 2 After turning on the electromagnetic switch 278 (S2120), the orthogonal transformer 264
The process of turning on the power transmission signal to (S2130) is sequentially executed.

By these processes, the AC power output from the orthogonal transformer 264 is output to the power distribution line 250 via only the power transmission section. Note that the orthogonal transformer 264 is the same as the NO. The AC voltage of the distribution line 250 is detected from the primary side of the 1 electromagnetic switch 65, and the output is synchronized.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the amount of power generated by the wind turbine generator 256 is insufficient and power cannot be transmitted, the power transmission signal to the orthogonal transformer 264 is turned off (S2140).
Next, NO. 2 Turn off the electromagnetic switch 278 (OFF) (S2
150), NO. (1) The electromagnetic switch 65 is turned on (S2160).

By these processes, power transmission from the orthogonal transformer 264 to the power distribution line 250 is stopped and power can be received from the power distribution line 250. When the power generation amount of the wind turbine generator 256 is increased by the processing of the power transmission determination routine of FIG.
Power transmission from 6 to the distribution line 250 is executed.

When the total transmission amount LLC transmission processing routine shown in FIG. 26 is started in the outdoor control device 274,
First, the remittance flag SD that is set in the process described below.
It is determined whether or not is set (= 1) (= 0) (S2200). If the remittance flag SD is not set here, then an electric energy pulse WOS that reflects the measured value of the electric energy meter 280 is input (S2210), and it is determined whether or not one electric energy pulse WOS has been input ( S222
0, S2230). When one power amount pulse WOS is input, next, the transmitted power amount NNC, which is a value obtained by integrating the power amount k corresponding to one pulse WOS, is calculated (S224).
0). That is, NNC ← NNC + κ is calculated.
Then, the transmitted power amount NNC is multiplied by a predetermined number λ (λ ·
NNC), and this is converted into the power transmission amount MMC (← λ · NNC) (S2250).

After conversion into the power transmission amount MMC, the power transmission power N
Clear NC (← 0) (S2260), and transmit power amount MM
Total amount of power transmission LLC which is an integrated value of C LLC (← LLC + NN
C) is calculated (S2270). The calculation of the total amount of transmission power LLC is performed until this value becomes large to some extent and exceeds the predetermined value μ (S2280).
It is determined whether or not the condition for transmitting the total amount of transmitted power LLC is transmitted to the indoor operation device 5 (S2290).
The determination of this condition is made based on whether or not a signal permitting transmission is output from the indoor operation device 5.

If the transmission condition is not satisfied, this routine is once terminated, and if satisfied, then the total amount of power transmission LLC is transmitted to the indoor operating device 5 via the data input / output interface 85. (S2300), then the remittance flag SD indicating that the total amount of transmitted electricity LLC is being transmitted is set (= 1) (S2310), and this routine is once terminated.

By the above processing, the amount of money corresponding to the electric power transmitted from the wind power generator 256 to the power distribution line 250 is transmitted to the power card 1 of the indoor operation device 5. Total amount of power transmission L
When this routine is started again after transmitting LC, based on the state of the remittance flag SD (S2200), the power sale transmitted from the indoor operating device 5 through the data input / output interface 85 next. Receive the amount JJA (S2
320). The received power sale amount JJA is compared in magnitude with the previously input power sale amount JJC (S2330), and if the previous power sale amount JJC and the current power sale amount JJA are the same or smaller,
It is determined that the power card 1 has not yet received and processed the total remittance amount LLC, and the above-described transmission condition determination processing and the like (S2290 to S2310) are repeated.

On the other hand, if the power sale amount JJA received this time is larger than the previous power sale amount JJC, it is determined that the processing in the power card 1 has been properly executed, and the power sale amount this time This routine is once executed by executing the process of substituting JJA for the previous power sale amount JJC (S2340), the process of clearing the total amount of power transmission LLC (S2350), and the process of clearing the remittance flag SD (S2360). finish.

By repeating the above-mentioned total transmission amount LLC transmission processing routine, the wind power generation device 256
The amount of money corresponding to the amount of electric power transmitted from the power distribution line 250 to the power line 1 is transmitted to the power card 1, and it is confirmed that this transmission is received by the power card 1.

The total amount of power transmission LLC data transmitted from the outdoor control device 274 by the total amount of transmission power transmission LLC transmission process shown in FIG. 26 passes through the indoor light wiring 67, and the indoor operation device 5 (not shown in FIG. 23). FIG. 27 is transmitted.
The total amount of power transmission is received by the LLC reception process shown in FIG.

When the power transmission amount total LLC receiving process of FIG. 27 is activated in the power card 1 every predetermined time, first, the process of receiving the power transmission amount total LLC via the data input / output interface 43 is executed (S2400). . Next, after adding the received total amount of transmitted power LLC to the power sale amount JJA indicating the total value of the total amount of transmitted power LLC, (J
JA ← JJA + LLC, S2410), total transmission amount L
LC is cleared (S2420).

After the power sale amount JJA is updated by the above processing, the updated power sale amount JJA is transmitted to the outdoor control device 274 (S2430). As a result, the power sale amount JJA is received by the total power transmission amount LLC transmission process of FIG.
It is a condition for judging that the data was properly transmitted.

The power sale amount JJA accumulated by the total power transmission amount LLC process of FIG. 27 is similarly read by the power sale memory supervision process shown in FIG. When the power sale memory management process is activated, first, the power sale amount memory value JJB is input from the power sale amount memory 300 in the PROM 37 shown in FIG. 4 (S25
00), it is determined whether the deviation between the input power sale amount memory value JJB and the power sale face JJA accumulated by the routine of FIG. 28 exceeds a predetermined value ν (S2510). If the deviation does not exceed the predetermined value ν here, it is determined that the total amount of power transmission LLC has not yet been transmitted from the outdoor control device 274 so as to update the power sale amount memory value JJB, and this routine is once executed. When the deviation is large on the other hand, when the deviation is large, the power sale amount JJA is substituted into the power sale amount memory value JJB (S2520), and this is written in the power sale amount memory 300 (S2530).

By the above processing, the price for the electric power transmitted from the wind power generator 256 to the power distribution line 250 is recorded in the PROM 37 of the electric power card 1. Therefore,

32 to 35 are flowcharts of the processes executed by the onboard power card 360, and FIGS. 36 to 39 show the processes executed by the onboard controller 322. FIG. 32 is a flow chart of the withdrawable amount PPB transmission process, in which the in-vehicle power card 360 C
It is executed by the PU 31 (see FIG. 4) at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the transmission start condition is satisfied (S2600). In this case, the transmission start condition corresponds to, for example, whether or not the power use key 105 of the operation keys 25 is pressed. Here, if the transmission start condition is not satisfied,
This routine is once ended as it is, and if the transmission start condition is satisfied, next, the advance payment balance PPA is read from the advance payment memory 107 set in the PROM 37, and is substituted into the withdrawable amount PPB ( S261
0).

After setting the value of the prepayment balance PPA to the withdrawable amount PPB, the withdrawable amount PPB is then output to the data input / output interface 43 (S2620). As a result, the withdrawable amount of money PPB is converted into serial data by the data input / output interface 43, and then placed on a carrier of a predetermined frequency.
No. 1 of the on-vehicle controller 322 via the magnetic coupler 344. 2 is sent to the data input / output interface 334.

FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the withdrawal amount TTC receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, the in-vehicle control device 32 is started via the data input / output interface 43.
The process of reading the withdrawal amount TTC from 2 is performed (S26
30).

After the processing of reading the withdrawal amount TTC, it is next judged from the data input / output interface 43 whether or not the withdrawal amount TTC has been actually read (S2640).
When it is read, the withdrawal amount TTC is substituted into TTB (S2650).

Next, the withdrawable amount PPB is set to the withdrawal amount TT.
A process of subtracting only B is performed (S2660). Then
The deductible amount PPB after the subtraction is sent to the in-vehicle controller 322 via the data input / output interface 43 (S2).
670). Next, it is determined whether or not the withdrawal amount TTC is tax by determining whether or not a tax flag FZ described later is attached to the read withdrawal amount TTC (S2680). If it is not a tax, this routine is once terminated as it is, and if it is a tax, then the settlement tax SFZ which is the integrated value of the withdrawal amount TTC which is this tax is calculated (SFZ.
← SFZ + TTC) (S2690), and this routine is once ended.

FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the prepayment memory management process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is started, first, PRO
The prepayment balance PPA is read from the prepayment memory 107 in M37 (S2700). Next, deposit payment memory 107
The difference between the current prepayment balance PPA read out from the program and the current withdrawable amount PPB stored in the RAM 35 (|
It is determined whether PPA-PPB |) is greater than or equal to the predetermined difference α (S2710). Where | PPA-PPB | <α
If so, the difference is small, so this routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if | PPA-PPB | ≧ α, then the withdrawable amount PPB is substituted into the prepayment balance PPA (S272).
0), write this prepayment balance PPA in the prepayment memory 107 (S2730).

As a result, every time the withdrawable amount PPB reduced by the withdrawal amount TTC decreases by a predetermined difference α, P
It is written into the advance payment memory 107 of the PROM 37 by the ROM writing unit 49. FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the tax memory supervision processing, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, it is judged whether or not the integrated tax SFZ accumulated by the withdrawal amount TTC reception process of FIG. 33 has become larger than a predetermined value π (S2740). Once, and if it gets bigger then
The tax memory amount MFZ is read from the tax memory 370 (see FIG. 4) in the PROM 37 (S2750). Then
The accumulated tax SFZ is added to the read tax memory amount MFZ (S2760), and after the added accumulated tax SFZ is cleared (S2770), the tax memory amount MFZ after renewal is added.
Is written in the tax memory 370 (S2780).

Thus, the tax is accumulated and recorded in the PROM 37, and it is possible to read the tax later and collect the tax. Next, the processing executed by the vehicle-mounted control device 322 will be described. FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined time intervals. First, the position of the changeover switch 350 attached to the card combiner 342 is read, and it is determined whether this switch is pushed toward the "built-in" side or the "outside" side (S2800).
If it is pushed to the "outside" side, it is judged that there is no processing in this routine, this routine is once terminated, and "internal"
If it is pushed to the side, then the withdrawable amount PPB is read from the card combiner 342 (S2810).

After the processing of reading the withdrawable amount PPB, it is judged whether or not it has been actually read (S2820). If it cannot be read, that is, if it cannot be received, this routine is once terminated and withdrawn. Possible amount P
When PB is received, the next possible withdrawal amount P
PB is substituted into the withdrawable monetary amount PPC for calculation in the vehicle-mounted control device 322 (S2830). This makes it possible to refer to other processing.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the withdrawal process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at every predetermined time. When this process is started, first the changeover switch 350
It is determined whether the position of is on the "internal" side or the "external" side (S2900), and if it is the "external" side, this routine is temporarily terminated, and if it is the "internal" side, then It is determined whether or not the payment amount SSC is less than the predetermined amount β. (S2910). The payment amount SSC is an amount set in advance so as to be appropriated for tax. Here, if the payment amount SSC is equal to or larger than the predetermined amount β, the present routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if the payment amount SSC is less than the predetermined amount β, the next withdrawable amount PP.
It is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the withdrawal amount TTC from C is "0" or more (S2920). Here, when it is determined that the withdrawable amount PPC is equal to or more than the withdrawal amount TTC per one time, the withdrawal amount TTC with the tax flag FZ attached is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted power card 360 of the card combiner 342 (S2930). ).

After transmitting the withdrawal amount TTC to the on-vehicle power card 360, the withdrawable amount PPB sent from the on-vehicle power card 360 is read (S2940). After reading the withdrawable amount PPB, the actual withdrawable amount PPB
NO. 2 It is judged whether or not the data could be read from the data input / output interface 334 (S2950). If the data could not be received, this routine is once terminated, and if the data could be received, the process proceeds to the next process. To do.

When the withdrawable amount PPB is received,
Withdrawal amount PPC minus withdrawal amount TTC,
It is determined whether or not the received withdrawable amount PPB and the received value agree with each other (S2960). That is, here, the amount of money TT to be withdrawn from the onboard controller 322 to the onboard power card 360
As a result of sending C, it is determined whether or not the in-vehicle power card 360 has actually withdrawn the withdrawable amount PPB.

If the withdrawable amount PPB has not been withdrawn, this routine is temporarily terminated, and if it has been withdrawn, then the withdrawal amount TTC is added to the paid amount SSC (S2970). As a result, when the payment amount SSC becomes small, first, the withdrawal amount TTC is withdrawn from the in-vehicle power card 360, and then the withdrawal amount SSC is added by the withdrawal amount TTC.

After adding the payment amount SSC by the withdrawal amount TTC, the relay 356 is then turned on (S298).
0). As a result, if it has been “off” until now, the charging device 320 and the indoor light wiring 67 are connected. Figure 38
Is a flow chart for relay "off" processing, and CP
It is executed in U324 every predetermined time. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether the position of the changeover switch 350 is the "internal" side or the "external" side (S3000). If it is the "built-in" side, then the payment amount S
It is determined whether SC is less than or equal to the value "0" (S310).
0). If the payment amount SSC is larger than the value "0", this routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if it is equal to or less than "0", the relay 356 is then turned off (S3110) and this routine is once terminated. That is, when the payment amount SSC is exhausted, the relay 356 is turned off, and the charging device 32
0 and the indoor electric light wiring 67 are disconnected.

FIG. 39 is a flow chart of the power consumption meter reading process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, the ammeter 346 at the same time is sent via the data input interface 336.
The current value IV and the voltage value VV of the voltmeter 348 are read (S3200, S3210). Then both values IV, VV
Multiply the product of by a constant ξ (IV · VV · ξ) to calculate the instantaneous power, integrate this, and use the amount of power WWC (← WWC
+ IV · VV · ξ) is calculated (S3220). When the accumulated power consumption WWC exceeds a predetermined value Θ (S322
5), then multiply the power consumption WWC by a constant ο,
The tax amount HHC is calculated (S3230), and the power consumption WWC is cleared (S3240).

Then, it is determined whether the position of the changeover switch 350 is the "internal" side or the "external" side (S32).
50) If it is the "built-in" side, then the paid amount SSC is reduced by the tax amount HHC (S3260), and this routine is once terminated. On the other hand, if the changeover switch 350 is on the “outside” side (S3250), the integrated tax amount GGC, which is the integrated value of the tax amount HHC, is calculated (GGC ← GGC + HHC, S32).
70).

As a result, when the changeover switch 350 is on the "built-in" side, the payment amount SSC serving as a control reference for "ON" and "OFF" of the relay 356 is subtracted according to the amount of electric power used. As described above, according to the processing described with reference to FIGS. 32 to 39, when the changeover switch 350 is located on the “built-in” side, the prepayment balance PPA of the onboard power card 360 is used as charging power for the onboard storage battery 318. The corresponding tax amount is reduced, and when the prepayment balance PPA is exhausted, charging of the onboard storage battery is stopped.

The charge for charging power to the onboard storage battery 318 is separately settled as a normal power charge. Next, the operation when the changeover switch 350 is located on the “outside” side, that is, without using the in-vehicle power card 360,
The operation when the power card 1 provided in the indoor operation device 5 is used will be described.

When the changeover switch 350 is located on the "outside" side, the withdrawal process shown in FIG.
The relay “off” process shown in 8 does not carry out the “on” or “off” of the relay 356, but ends as it is. In the power usage meter reading process shown in FIG. 39, the vehicle storage battery 318
The integrated tax amount GGC corresponding to the amount of electric power charged in is calculated (S3270).

The processing shown in FIGS. 32 to 35 is not executed because the vehicle-mounted power card 360 is not used here. In the vehicle-mounted control device 322 in which the integrated tax amount GGC is calculated by the processing of FIG.
When the integrated tax amount GGB transmission process shown in is started, first, the position of the changeover switch 350 is on the "built-in" side or "external".
It is determined whether or not it is the side (S3300), and when it is determined that it is the "built-in" side, this routine is once terminated as it is. On the other hand, when it is determined that the side is the “outside” side, the outdoor control device 7 of the pull-in board 53 is connected to the indoor electric light wiring 67.
The identification number HA (to be described later) sent via
O. It is received by the 1 data input / output interface 332 (S3310), and then it is determined whether or not the identification number HA was actually received (S3320).

If it is determined that the identification number HA has not been received, for example, the outdoor control device 7 is notified to the electric vehicle 3
If you decide that you do not have the function to handle 10 taxes,
When the timer TI is started (S3330) and the value of the timer TI reaches a predetermined value υ (S3340), a signal for turning off the relay 356 is output to the relay drive unit 352, and the relay 356 is actually "Off" (S33
50). When the timer TI is started, the integrated tax amount GGB in which the integrated tax amount GGC is substituted in another step of this routine and the identification number HA incremented in another step are transmitted to the outdoor control device 7, This routine is once ended (S3360).

In step 3360, the outdoor controller 7
When the identification number HA sent back to the user is received and returned to confirm that it has been received, and it is determined that it was received (S3320), the next received identification number HA executes this routine. By determining whether it is the same as the identification number HB transmitted at the time of the previous processing,
It is determined whether or not the identification number HA returned from the outdoor control device 7 is proper (the meaning of properness will be described later) (S3370).

If the received identification number HA is not proper, the processing after the above-mentioned timer TI start is executed (S3330 to S3360). On the other hand, the identification number HA
If it is determined that is appropriate, the timer TI is cleared (S3380), and the integrated tax amount GGB transmitted in step 3360 is subtracted from the current integrated tax amount GGC to obtain a new integrated tax amount GGC (S3390). ),
The identification number HA is incremented (S3400, S3
410).

Then, the relay 356 is turned on (S3420), and it is determined whether or not the integrated tax amount GGC has become larger than the predetermined value ρ.
It is determined whether C has reached the transmission standard (S343).
0). Until the accumulated tax amount GGC reaches the transmission standard, this routine is once terminated, and when it reaches the transmission standard, the accumulated tax amount GGC is first substituted into the accumulated tax amount GGB for transmission (S3440), and then the accumulated tax amount GGB is identified. The number HA and the outdoor control device 7 are transmitted (S3360).

As described above, the accumulated tax amount GGB is transmitted to the outdoor control device 7 by the accumulated tax amount GGB transmission processing, and after confirming that the accumulated tax amount GGB is received by the outdoor control device 7, the accumulated tax amount GGB is calculated from the current accumulated tax amount GGC. It is executed that the transmitted integrated tax amount GGB is subtracted.

In the outdoor control device 7 which receives the accumulated tax amount GGB and the identification number HA, in order to receive them, FIG.
The integrated tax amount GGB receiving process shown in is executed every predetermined time. When the routine is activated, first, in the outdoor control device 7 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the integrated tax amount GGB and the identification number HA are received via the data input / output interface 85 (S3500), and the received identification is performed. The number HA is compared with the previously received identification number HA (S3510). As a result of this comparison, if the identification number HA received this time is other than the value obtained by adding the value "1" to the previously received identification number HA, if this value is the value obtained by temporarily ending this routine and adding the value "1". When it is determined that the accumulated tax amount GGB has been updated, the process proceeds to the next process.

When the integrated tax amount GGB is updated, the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ (← GFZ + GGB) is then calculated (S3520), and then the identification number HA is transmitted to the in-vehicle controller 322 (S3530). By the processing of this routine, the integrated tax amount GGB transmitted from the vehicle-mounted control device 322 to the outdoor control device 7 is received, and this confirmation signal is also transmitted.

The outdoor control device 7 in which the accumulated tax amount integrated value GGB is stored and the indoor operation device 5 (electric power card 1) perform the processing shown in FIGS.
Transmission / reception of withdrawable amount PPB, transmission / reception of withdrawal amount TTC, supervision of deposit payment memory 107, and electromagnetic switch 6
5 “on” and “off” are executed. Also, power card 1
42 accumulates the integrated tax amount SFZ calculated by the processing shown in FIGS. 42 to 44 below by executing the tax memory supervision processing shown in FIG.
Write the tax memory amount MFZ in.

Next, based on the processing of FIGS. 42 to 44,
A process of transmitting the integrated tax SFZ from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1 will be described. FIG. 42 is a flow chart of power consumption meter reading and tax withdrawal processing.
5 is executed every predetermined time. In steps 3600 to 3680 in this processing routine,
Steps 1600 to 168 in FIG. 16 already described
The same process as 0 is executed, and the meter reading of the power consumption is executed. After this processing, as the tax withdrawal processing, it is judged whether or not the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ accumulated in the integrated tax amount GGB receiving process of FIG. It is determined whether or not the reference value to be transmitted to the card 1 has been reached (S369).
0).

When it is determined that the standard value has been reached, first, the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ is subtracted from the paid amount SSC (SSC ← SSC-GFZ), and then (S3).
700), and a remittance value HFZ (← HFZ + GFZ) which is an integrated value of the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ is calculated (S371).
0). After adding the accumulated tax amount accumulated value GFZ to the remittance value HFZ,
This GFZ is cleared (S3720), and this routine is once ended.

By the above processing, the amount SSC to be paid according to the amount of electric power used (including the use of electric power other than the electric vehicle 310)
Is also subtracted, and the tax associated with charging the electric vehicle 310 is also subtracted from the paid amount SSC. Moreover, the value obtained by subtracting the tax is recorded as the remittance value HFZ.

FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the remittance value HFZ transmission process, which is started by the CPU 75 at every predetermined time. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether the flag FFF that is set or cleared in the step described below is set (= 1) or cleared (= 0) (S3800), and if it is set, the following is performed. As shown in, the steps until the flag FFF is set (S
3810 to 3840) Without performing, move to the next processing,
If it is not set, then an identification number HC (described later) is received from the power card 1 via the data input / output interface 85 (S3810), and then it is determined whether or not it was actually received (S3820). When the identification number HC is received, it is judged whether or not the next received identification number HC is the same as the identification number HD transmitted to the power card 1 by the process described later, so that the previously transmitted data is It is determined whether the power card 1 has received the data (S3830).

If the previously transmitted identification number HD and the currently received identification number HC are the same, the flag FFF is set (S3840). After setting the flag FFF,
Alternatively, if the flag FFF has already been set (S38
00), it is then determined whether or not the remittance value HFZ is larger than the predetermined value τ to determine whether or not the remittance value HFZ has reached a reference value for transmitting the remittance value HFZ to the power card 1 (S3850). ). If the reference value has not been reached, this routine is once terminated, and if the reference value has been reached, the identification number HC is incremented (HC ← HC + 1, S3
860), the identification number HC after the increment is identified by the identification number H for comparison with the snap 3830 described above.
Substitute for D (S3870).

After substituting the identification number HC into HD, the identification number H
D and the remittance value HFZ are transmitted to the power card 1 (S38
80) and substitute the remittance value HFZ into the remittance memory value HFF (S
3890), clear the remittance value HFZ (S3900),
After clearing the flag FFF (S3910), this routine is once ended.

When it is determined that the identification number HC has not been received in the determination after receiving the identification number HC (S382).
0) or if the received identification number HC does not match the previously transmitted identification number HD (S3830), the identification number HD and the remittance storage value HFF set to the remittance value HFZ are retransmitted ( S3920).

As described above, the remittance value HFZ is transmitted from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1 by the remittance value HFZ transmission process of FIG. FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the remittance value HFZ reception process, which is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 1 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, the outdoor control device 7 is first sent via the data input / output interface 43.
The remittance value HFZ and the identification number HD sent from are received (S4000), and then the presently received identification number HD and the previously received identification number HD are compared (S401).
0).

As a result of this comparison, this HD is the previous HD
If it is a value other than the value obtained by adding the value “1” to, the routine is temporarily terminated. If the value obtained by adding the value “1” is added, the integrated tax SFZ (← SFZ), which is the integrated value of the remittance value HFZ.
+ HFZ) is calculated (S4020). Next, the identification number HD is transmitted as the identification number HC to the outdoor control device 7 (S4030), and this routine is once ended.

As a result, the remittance value HFZ transmitted from the outdoor control device 7 can be received and the integrated tax SFZ which is the integrated value thereof can be recorded in the power card 1. The accumulated tax SFZ is converted into the tax memory amount MFZ by executing the tax memory supervision processing shown in FIG.
It is recorded in the tax memory 370.

According to the third embodiment described above, tax can be added to the electric power charged in the electric vehicle 310. In addition, this tax is added to the in-vehicle power card 36.

13 to 16 show processing executed by the outdoor control device 7.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB transmission processing, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the transmission start condition is satisfied (step 1000, hereinafter the step is simply referred to as S). In this case, the transmission start condition corresponds to, for example, whether or not the power use key 105 of the operation keys 25 is pressed. Here, if the transmission start condition is not satisfied, this routine is once terminated, and if the transmission start condition is satisfied, the advance payment balance PPA is then stored from the advance payment memory 107 set in the PROM 37. A process of reading and substituting the withdrawable amount PPB is performed (S101).
0). The prepayment balance PPA stored in the prepayment memory 107 in the PROM 37 is a value written by the PROM writing unit 49, and indicates the prepayment amount of the power charge.

The withdrawable amount PPB is used as a variable for arithmetic processing. Withdrawable amount PPB
After the value of the prepayment balance PPA is set in, the withdrawable amount PPB is output to the data input / output interface 43 (S1020). With this, the withdrawable amount PPB
Is converted into serial data by the data input / output interface 43 and is then placed on a carrier of a predetermined frequency.
The data is sequentially sent to the data input / output interface 85 of the outdoor control device 7 via the magnetic coupling coils 41 and 19, the insertion plug 9, the outlet 103, the indoor light wiring 67, and the coupler internal line filter 69. Therefore, the withdrawable amount PPB sent from the power card 1 is received by the outdoor control device 7.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the withdrawal amount TTC receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, a process of reading the withdrawal amount TTC from the data input / output interface 43 is performed (S1100). The withdrawal amount TTC read from the data input / output interface 43 is sent from the outdoor control device 7, and the data input / output interface 85, the coupler built-in line filter 69,
Indoor light wiring 67, plug 9, magnetic coupling coil 1
9 and 41 are received by the data input / output interface 43.

After the processing of reading the withdrawal amount TTC, it is next judged from the data input / output interface 43 whether or not the withdrawal amount TTC has been actually read (S1110).
When it is read, the withdrawal amount TTC is substituted into TTB (S1120). The processing of TTC → TTB performed here is to perform arithmetic processing after substituting the read TTC as it is into TTB.

Next, the withdrawable amount PPB is set to the withdrawal amount TT.
A process of subtracting only B is performed (S1130). Then
The deductible amount PPB after the subtraction is output to the indoor control device 7 via the data input / output interface 43 (S114).
0). FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the prepayment memory management process, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is started, first, the PROM 37
The prepayment balance PPA is read from the prepayment memory 107 inside (S1200). Next, the difference between the current prepayment balance PPA read from the prepayment memory 107 and the current withdrawable amount PPB stored in the RAM 35 (| PPA
It is determined whether -PPB |) is equal to or greater than the predetermined difference α (S1210). If | PPA-PPB | <α, the difference is small. Therefore, this routine is temporarily terminated, and if | PPA-PPB | ≧ α, the withdrawable amount PPB is substituted into the prepayment balance PPA. (S1220),
This prepayment balance PPA is written to the prepayment memory 107 (S1230). As a result, as described with reference to FIG. 11, the possible withdrawal amount PPB reduced by the withdrawal amount TTC from the outdoor control device 7 decreases by a predetermined difference α. To
It is written in the advance payment memory 107 of the PROM 37 by the PROM writing unit 49. Therefore, the prepaid memory 10
The history of the prepayment balance PPA will be stored in 7, and the latest PPA will be retrieved as the current usable amount.

Next, the processing executed by the outdoor control device 7 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, the withdrawable amount PPB is read from the indoor operating device 5 (S1).
300). The withdrawable amount PPB read here is shown in Fig. 1.
This has already been described in the processing of 0 and FIG.

After the processing of reading the withdrawable amount PPB, it is then judged whether or not it has been actually read (S1310). If it cannot be read, that is, if it cannot be received, this routine is once terminated and withdrawn. Possible amount P
When PB is received, the next possible withdrawal amount P
PB is the amount of money P that can be withdrawn for calculation in the outdoor control device 7.
Substitute in PC (S1320). Next, the withdrawable monetary amount PPC is converted into usable power amount DDC by a predetermined arithmetic expression (S1330), and this usable power amount DDC is displayed on the display 93 (S1340). An arithmetic expression for converting the withdrawable amount of money PPC into usable power amount DDC is stored in advance in the variable table 109 in the ROM 77.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the withdrawal process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the paid amount SSC has become smaller than the predetermined amount β. (S140
0). The payment amount SSC is an amount set in advance so as to be appropriated for the power usage fee. If the payment amount SSC is equal to or larger than the predetermined amount β, the present routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if it is smaller than the predetermined amount β, it is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the withdrawal amount TTC from the withdrawable amount PPC is “0” or more. It is determined (S1410). Here, withdrawable amount PPC
When it is determined that is equal to or more than the withdrawal amount TTC per time, the withdrawal amount TTC is transmitted to the indoor operation device 5 (S1420).

After transmitting the withdrawal amount TTC to the indoor operating device 5, the withdrawable amount PPB sent from the indoor operating device 5 is read (S1430). Withdrawal amount PP
After reading B, it is judged whether or not the withdrawable amount PPB can be actually read from the data input / output interface 85 (S1440). The routine is terminated as it is, and if it is possible to receive it, the process proceeds to the next process.

When the withdrawable amount PPB is received,
Withdrawal amount PPC minus withdrawal amount TTC,
It is determined whether or not the value of the withdrawable amount of money PPB received from the indoor operation device 5 matches (S1450). That is, here, it is determined whether or not the power card 1 has actually withdrawn the possible withdrawal amount PPB as a result of sending the withdrawal amount TTC from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1.

If the withdrawable amount PPB has not been withdrawn, this routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if it has been withdrawn, then the withdrawal amount TTC is added to the paid amount SSC (S1460). As a result, when the paid amount SSC becomes small, the withdrawal amount TTC is first withdrawn from the power card 1, and then the paid amount SSC is added by the withdrawal amount TTC.

After adding the payment amount SSC by the withdrawal amount TTC, the electromagnetic switch 65 is turned on (S14).
70). As a result, if it is "off" until now, the service line 6
3 and the indoor light wiring 67 are connected. FIG. 15 is a flow chart of the electromagnetic switch “off” processing,
It is executed at a predetermined time interval in U75. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the paid amount SSC is equal to or less than the value "0" (S1500). If the paid amount SSC is greater than the value "0", this routine is temporarily terminated and the value is equal to or less than "0". If so, then the electromagnetic switch 65 is turned off (S1510), and this routine is temporarily terminated. That is, when the payment amount SSC is exhausted, the electromagnetic switch 65 is turned off, and the connection between the lead-in wire 63 and the indoor electric light wiring 67 is cut off.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the power consumption meter reading process, which is executed by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether the output pulse WHS output from the electric energy pulse output unit 61 has a value “1” or a value “0”.
Is read from (S1600). After reading the value of the output pulse WHS, it is then determined whether or not the output pulse WHS has the value "1" (S1610). If the value is not "1", this routine is terminated and the value "1" is returned. If there is, next, it is determined whether or not the value of the previous output pulse WHS was "0" (S1620). If the previous time is the value "1", this routine is once terminated, and if the previous time is the value "0", the output pulse WHS from the electric energy pulse output unit 61 is 1
When it is determined that the individual pieces have been output, the power consumption WWC is calculated next (S1630). The method of calculating the used power amount WWC performed here is to add the predetermined used amount γ to the used power amount WWC each time one output pulse WHS is input (WWC ← W
WC + γ) method. The value of the predetermined usage amount γ is set in advance according to the output characteristics of the power amount pulse output unit 61.

After calculating the used electric energy WWC, it is next determined whether or not the electromagnetic switch 65 is "on" controlled (S1).
640), if the "ON" control is not performed, it is determined that the power amount pulse output unit 61, the electromagnetic switch 65, or the like is abnormal, and an abnormal alarm is displayed on the display 93 (S1).
650).

On the other hand, if the electromagnetic switch 65 is "on", then the used power amount WWC is converted into the used amount KKC (S1660). ROM for conversion to this usage amount KKC
The converted value δ is read from the variable table 109 in 77,
This conversion value δ is multiplied by the power consumption WWC (KKC ← δ
・ WWC).

After converting the used power amount WWC into the used amount KKC, the used amount WWC is then cleared (WWC ← 0) (S1670), and the paid amount SSC is subtracted by the used amount KKC (SSC ← SSC-KKC). Yes (S1680).
As a result, the output pulse W is output from the power pulse output unit 61.
When HS is output, the payment amount SSC is subtracted accordingly.

The electricity charge payment device DPS described above
With the indoor operation device 5 in the room and the outdoor pull-in board 53 working together, it is possible to use the power corresponding to the prepaid balance PPA stored in the power card 1 in advance. In addition, the power bill payment device DPS is a prepayment balance PPA
The electric power card 1 storing the information may be attached to any place as long as it is the indoor light wiring 67 after the retractable panel 53, and the convenience in use is extremely high. Besides, I have a power card 1
Since it is possible to place electricity, you can turn on and off the electricity of the whole house at any time,
Improves security and economics when you are away.

In this configuration, one outdoor control device 7 and one outdoor control device 1
Although the indoor operation device 5 is provided to cover the electric power charge, a plurality of indoor operation devices 5 may be used to control one outdoor control device 7. This is achieved by making the data transmission between the outdoor control device 7 and the indoor operation device 5 selective, and reducing the prepayment balance in order from the power card 1 with the highest priority based on a predetermined priority. To be done. As a result, the power charges can be applied from a plurality of places with a plurality of power cards 1, and the convenience is greatly improved.

Next, the first embodiment will be described. In this example,
Instead of the power card 1 having the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the power card 201 shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 is used to execute a prepayment addition process as described below. FIG. 17
The power card 201 shown in FIG. 4 has a configuration in which a sound signal from the outside is input by adding a microphone 203 and an audio input interface 205 to the power card 1 of FIG. 4, an audio output interface 207, and a speaker 2.
09 is added to output a sound signal to the outside.

With the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 18, the microphone 203 or the speaker 209 provided on the back surface 211 side of the power card 201 is connected to the mouthpiece 215 of the telephone 213 or the earpiece as shown in FIG. By facing 217, various signals can be transmitted or received between the power card 201 and the telephone 213.

The flowchart of the prepayment addition processing routine of FIG. 20 is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 201 at predetermined time intervals. When the routine is activated, it is determined whether or not the prepayment payment is added by first determining whether or not the prepayment addition button 219 is turned "on" (S1700). If it is determined that the prepayment is added, then the ID code of the power card 201 is read from the ID code storage area 222 in the ROM 33 (S1710), and the ID code is used. A passcode is generated according to a predetermined procedure (S17).
20). After the passcode is generated, the procedure of the prepayment addition procedure is displayed on the display 23 (S1730), and the user waits for the processing according to the procedure displayed thereafter.

The procedure shown by the display 23 is as follows. (I) Call the power card prepayment addition center by telephone. (II) The back surface 211 of the power card 201 is applied to the mouthpiece 215 of the telephone 213 (as shown in FIG. 19).

(III) Press the first selection button 224. (IV) After the transmission of the ID code and the pass code from the speaker 209, the response code is heard from the earpiece 217, and when the response code is recorded, the response button 226 is pressed and the response code is input from the operation key 25.

After displaying steps (I) to (IV), wait for the first selection button 224 to be pressed (S1740),
When the first selection button 224 is pressed, the ID code and the pass code are output from the speaker 209 for a predetermined time (S).
1750). After outputting the ID code and the passcode, it is determined whether or not the response button 226 has been pressed (S1760),
The output of the ID code and the pass code is repeated until the response button 226 is pressed. When the stop button 228 is pressed, this routine is once ended and the process of adding the deposit is stopped.

When the response button 226 is pressed, a response code is next input (S1770), and it is determined whether the input response code is proper or not (S17).
80). This response code is generated by a predetermined procedure based on the ID code and the pass code.
Therefore, the ID code and the pass code transmitted from the power card 201 to the prepayment addition center are converted into a response code by a predetermined procedure, and when the power card 201 receives this, the input response code is correct. The judgment is made.

When the input response code is incorrect, the display prompting the user to input the response code again is displayed (S1790), and the input is awaited again. If the response code is appropriate, the process of actually adding the advance payment is executed (S1800 to S1830).

That is, the prepayment balance PPA is sequentially read from the prepayment memory 107 (S1800), and a predetermined additional money RRA is added to the prepayment balance PPA (S181).
0), then the amount of additional money RRA is displayed on the display 23 (S1820), and the prepayment balance PPA (← PPA + RRA) to which the additional money RRA is added is added to the new prepayment balance PPA.
As a result, the process of writing in the advance payment memory 107 in the PROM 37 is executed (S1830).

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the prepayment addition center 230 is output from the power card 201, and the telephone 2
13 and the telephone line 234 of the exchange 232, etc.
When the D code and the pass code are received, it is determined whether the received ID code and pass code are proper, and then a response code based on the ID code and the pass code is generated, and the power card is generated. While sending to 201, the procedure for withdrawing the advance payment from the account of the employee holding the ID code is executed.

Therefore, by executing the prepayment addition process of FIG. 20, a predetermined prepayment is added to the power card 201, and the added prepayment amount is added to the bank of the employee who uses the power card 201. Will be automatically deducted from your account. Therefore, since the user of the power card 201 can add the prepayment to the power card 201 by telephone, it is not necessary to go to a predetermined place to add the prepayment to the power card 201. It has an extremely excellent effect of improving convenience.

Further, the passcode is changed every time the prepayment is added, and this is the key for generating the response code. Therefore, the power card 201 can completely add the prepayment by the fraudulent procedure. It has the excellent feature that it is prevented by Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described.

In this modification, instead of the flowchart of the prepayment addition routine shown in FIG. 20, the prepayment automatic addition routine shown in FIG. 22 is executed. When the automatic deposit advance addition routine is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 201 at predetermined time intervals, first, the automatic deposit advance addition button 236.
By determining whether or not (see FIG. 17 and FIG. 19) is “ON”, it is determined whether or not the automatic payment is added (S1900). If it is determined that the prepayment will be automatically added, the ID code is sequentially read (S
1910), generation of passcode (S1920), display of procedure of automatic deposit advance addition procedure on display 23 (S19).
30) and then waits for the first selection button 224 to be pressed (S1940).
When 24 is pressed, the ID code and the pass code are output from the speaker 209 for a predetermined time (S1950).

After the ID code and the pass code are output, the re-send button 238 has been pressed, or the receive button 240
It is determined whether is pressed (S1960), and resend button 2
When 38 is pressed, it is determined that there is no response from the prepayment addition center 230, and the ID code, the pass code, and the re-transmission code indicating the re-transmission are transmitted.

When the receive button 240 is pressed, it is determined that the response code is transmitted from the advance payment adding center 230, and the response code is received through the microphone 203 (S1970). It is determined whether the received response code is proper or not (S1980).

When the input response code is incorrect, the display 23 prompts to retransmit.
Then (S1990), the ID code, the pass code, and the retransmission code are transmitted. If the response code is proper, the advance payment balance PPA is sequentially read from the advance payment memory 107 as a process of actually adding the advance payment (S2).
000), a predetermined additional amount RRA to this prepayment balance PPA
Is added (S2010), and then the amount of additional money RRA is displayed on the display 23 (S2020).
The prepaid amount balance PPA (← PPA + RRA) to which is added is written as a new prepaid amount balance PPA in the prepaid amount memory 107 in the PROM 37 (S2030).

As described above, according to this modification, the power card 201
It has an excellent effect that a deposit can be automatically added to. In addition, since the function of receiving the response code from the microphone 203 is added, the power card 20
This reduces the time and effort required for the first user to record the response from the prepayment addition center 230, thereby further improving convenience.

When the power transmission determination routine shown in FIG. 25 is started by the outdoor control device 274, first, the wind power generation device 256 is started.
The power generation state of the wind power generator 256 is determined based on the output signal of the generator output sensor 294 and the power amount of the power meter 57 is referred to, and the power generation amount of the wind turbine generator 256 is larger than the power amount of the power meter 57 by a predetermined value or more. It is determined whether or not it is possible to transmit power to the distribution line 250 based on the determination as to whether or not it is possible (S2100).

If it is determined that the power can be transmitted, the NO. The first electromagnetic switch 65 is turned off (S2110), and then the NO. 2 After turning on the electromagnetic switch 278 (S2120), the orthogonal transformer 264
The process of turning on the power transmission signal to (S2130) is sequentially executed.

By these processes, the AC power output from the orthogonal converter 264 is output to the power distribution line 250 only via the power transmission section. Note that the orthogonal transformer 264 is the same as the NO. The AC voltage of the distribution line 250 is detected from the primary side of the 1 electromagnetic switch 65, and the output is synchronized.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the amount of power generated by the wind turbine generator 256 is insufficient and power cannot be transmitted, first, the power transmission signal to the orthogonal transformer 264 is turned off (S2140),
Next, NO. 2 Turn off the electromagnetic switch 278 (OFF) (S2

When the power generation amount of the wind turbine generator 256 is increased by the processing of the power transmission determination routine of FIG.
Power transmission from 6 to the distribution line 250 is executed.

When the total power transmission amount LLC transmission processing routine shown in FIG. 26 is activated in the outdoor control device 274,
First, the remittance flag SD that is set in the process described below.
It is determined whether or not is set (= 1) (= 0) (S2200). If the remittance flag SD is not set here, then an electric energy pulse WOS that reflects the measured value of the electric energy meter 280 is input (S2210), and it is determined whether or not one electric energy pulse WOS has been input ( S222
0, S2230). When one power amount pulse WOS is input, next, the transmitted power amount NNC, which is a value obtained by integrating the power amount k corresponding to one pulse WOS, is calculated (S224).
0). That is, NNC ← NNC + κ is calculated.
Then, the transmitted power amount NNC is multiplied by a predetermined number λ (λ ·
NNC), and this is converted into the power transmission amount MMC (← λ · NNC) (S2250).

After conversion into the amount of transmitted power MMC, the amount of transmitted power N
Clear NC (← 0) (S2260), and transmit power amount MM
Total amount of power transmission LLC which is an integrated value of C LLC (← LLC + NN
C) is calculated (S2270). The calculation of the total amount of transmission power LLC is performed until this value becomes large to some extent and exceeds the predetermined value μ (S2280).
It is determined whether or not the condition for transmitting the total amount of transmitted power LLC is transmitted to the indoor operation device 5 (S2290).
The determination of this condition is made based on whether or not a signal permitting transmission is output from the indoor operation device 5.

If the transmission condition is not satisfied, this routine is once terminated, and if satisfied, then the total amount of power transmission LLC is transmitted to the indoor operating device 5 via the data input / output interface 85. (S2300), then the remittance flag SD indicating that the total amount of transmitted electricity LLC is being transmitted is set (= 1) (S2310), and this routine is once terminated.

By the above-mentioned processing, the amount of money corresponding to the electric power transmitted from the wind power generator 256 to the power distribution line 250 is transmitted to the power card 1 of the indoor operation device 5. Total amount of power transmission L
When this routine is started again after transmitting LC, based on the state of the remittance flag SD (S2200), the power sale transmitted from the indoor operating device 5 through the data input / output interface 85 next. Receive the amount JJA (S2
320). The received power sale amount JJA is compared in magnitude with the previously input power sale amount JJC (S2330), and if the previous power sale amount JJC and the current power sale amount JJA are the same or smaller,
It is determined that the power card 1 has not yet received and processed the total remittance amount LLC, and the above-described transmission condition determination processing and the like (S2290 to S2310) are repeated.

On the other hand, if the amount of power sale JJA received this time is larger than the amount of power sale JJC received last time, it is determined that the processing in the power card 1 has been properly executed, and the amount of power sale this time This routine is once executed by executing the process of substituting JJA for the previous power sale amount JJC (S2340), the process of clearing the total amount of power transmission LLC (S2350), and the process of clearing the remittance flag SD (S2360). finish.

FIG. 27 is transmitted.
The total amount of power transmission is received by the LLC reception process shown in FIG.

When the power transmission amount total LLC receiving process of FIG. 27 is activated in the power card 1 every predetermined time, first, the process of receiving the power transmission amount total LLC via the data input / output interface 43 is executed (S2400). . Next, after adding the received total amount of transmitted power LLC to the power sale amount JJA indicating the total value of the total amount of transmitted power LLC, (J
JA ← JJA + LLC, S2410), total transmission amount L
LC is cleared (S2420).

After the power sale amount JJA is updated by the above processing, the updated power sale amount JJA is transmitted to the outdoor control device 274 (S2430). As a result, the power sale amount JJA is received by the total power transmission amount LLC transmission process of FIG.
It is a condition for judging that the data was properly transmitted.

The power sale amount JJA accumulated by the power transmission amount total LLC process of FIG. 27 is similarly read by the power sale memory supervision process shown in FIG. When the power sale memory management process is activated, first, the power sale amount memory value JJB is input from the power sale amount memory 300 in the PROM 37 shown in FIG. 4 (S25
00), it is determined whether the deviation between the input power sale amount memory value JJB and the power sale face JJA accumulated by the routine of FIG. 28 exceeds a predetermined value ν (S2510). If the deviation does not exceed the predetermined value ν here, it is determined that the total amount of power transmission LLC has not yet been transmitted from the outdoor control device 274 so as to update the power sale amount memory value JJB, and this routine is once executed. When the deviation is large on the other hand, when the deviation is large, the power sale amount JJA is substituted into the power sale amount memory value JJB (S2520), and this is written in the power sale amount memory 300 (S2530).

By the above processing, the consideration for the electric power transmitted from the wind power generator 256 to the power distribution line 250 is recorded in the PROM 37 of the electric power card 1. Therefore,

If it is not a tax, this routine is once terminated as it is, and if it is a tax, then the settlement tax SFZ which is the integrated value of the withdrawal amount TTC which is this tax is calculated (SFZ.
← SFZ + TTC) (S2690), and this routine is once ended.

FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the prepayment memory supervision processing, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is started, first, PRO
The prepayment balance PPA is read from the prepayment memory 107 in M37 (S2700). Next, deposit payment memory 107
The difference between the current prepayment balance PPA read out from the program and the current withdrawable amount PPB stored in the RAM 35 (|
It is determined whether PPA-PPB |) is greater than or equal to the predetermined difference α (S2710). Where | PPA-PPB | <α
If so, the difference is small, so this routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if | PPA-PPB | ≧ α, then the withdrawable amount PPB is substituted into the prepayment balance PPA (S272).
0), write this prepayment balance PPA in the prepayment memory 107 (S2730).

As a result, every time the withdrawable amount PPB reduced by the withdrawal amount TTC decreases by a predetermined difference α, P
It is written into the advance payment memory 107 of the PROM 37 by the ROM writing unit 49. FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the tax memory supervision processing, which is executed by the CPU 31 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, it is judged whether or not the integrated tax SFZ accumulated by the withdrawal amount TTC reception process of FIG. 33 has become larger than a predetermined value π (S2740). Once, and if it gets bigger then
The tax memory amount MFZ is read from the tax memory 370 (see FIG. 4) in the PROM 37 (S2750). Then
The accumulated tax SFZ is added to the read tax memory amount MFZ (S2760), and after the added accumulated tax SFZ is cleared (S2770), the tax memory amount MFZ after renewal is added.
Is written in the tax memory 370 (S2780).

As a result, the tax is accumulated and recorded in the PROM 37, and it is possible to read the tax later and collect the tax. Next, the processing executed by the vehicle-mounted control device 322 will be described. FIG. 36 is a flowchart of the withdrawable amount PPB receiving process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined time intervals. First, the position of the changeover switch 350 attached to the card combiner 342 is read, and it is determined whether this switch is pushed toward the "built-in" side or the "outside" side (S2800).
If it is pushed to the "outside" side, it is judged that there is no processing in this routine, this routine is once terminated, and "internal"
If it is pushed to the side, then the withdrawable amount PPB is read from the card combiner 342 (S2810).

After reading the withdrawable amount PPB, it is judged whether or not it was actually read (S2820). If it could not be read, that is, if it could not be received, this routine is once terminated and withdrawn. Possible amount P
When PB is received, the next possible withdrawal amount P
PB is substituted into the withdrawable monetary amount PPC for calculation in the vehicle-mounted control device 322 (S2830). This makes it possible to refer to other processing.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the withdrawal process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is started, first the changeover switch 350
It is determined whether the position of is on the "internal" side or the "external" side (S2900), and if it is the "external" side, this routine is temporarily terminated, and if it is the "internal" side, then It is determined whether or not the payment amount SSC is less than the predetermined amount β. (S2910). The payment amount SSC is an amount set in advance so as to be appropriated for tax. Here, if the payment amount SSC is equal to or larger than the predetermined amount β, the present routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if the payment amount SSC is less than the predetermined amount β, the next withdrawable amount PP.
It is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the withdrawal amount TTC from C is "0" or more (S2920). Here, when it is determined that the withdrawable amount PPC is equal to or more than the withdrawal amount TTC per one time, the withdrawal amount TTC with the tax flag FZ attached is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted power card 360 of the card combiner 342 (S2930). ).

After transmitting the withdrawal amount TTC to the in-vehicle power card 360, the withdrawable amount PPB sent from the in-vehicle power card 360 is read (S2940). After reading the withdrawable amount PPB, the actual withdrawable amount PPB
NO. 2 It is judged whether or not the data could be read from the data input / output interface 334 (S2950). If the data could not be received, this routine is once terminated, and if the data could be received, the process proceeds to the next process. To do.

When the withdrawable amount PPB is received,
Withdrawal amount PPC minus withdrawal amount TTC,
It is determined whether or not the received withdrawable amount PPB and the received value agree with each other (S2960). That is, here, the amount of money TT to be withdrawn from the onboard controller 322 to the onboard power card 360
As a result of sending C, it is determined whether or not the in-vehicle power card 360 has actually withdrawn the withdrawable amount PPB.

If the withdrawable amount PPB has not been withdrawn, this routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if it has been withdrawn, then the withdrawal amount TTC is added to the paid-in amount SSC (S2970). As a result, when the payment amount SSC becomes small, first, the withdrawal amount TTC is withdrawn from the in-vehicle power card 360, and then the withdrawal amount SSC is added by the withdrawal amount TTC.

After adding the payment amount SSC by the withdrawal amount TTC, the relay 356 is then turned on (S298).
0). As a result, if it has been “off” until now, the charging device 320 and the indoor light wiring 67 are connected. Figure 38
Is a flow chart for relay "off" processing, and CP
It is executed in U324 every predetermined time. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether the position of the changeover switch 350 is the "internal" side or the "external" side (S3000). If it is the "built-in" side, then the payment amount S
It is determined whether SC is less than or equal to the value "0" (S310).
0). If the payment amount SSC is larger than the value "0", this routine is temporarily terminated as it is, and if it is equal to or less than "0", the relay 356 is then turned off (S3110) and this routine is once terminated. That is, when the payment amount SSC is exhausted, the relay 356 is turned off, and the charging device 32
0 and the indoor electric light wiring 67 are disconnected.

FIG. 39 is a flowchart of the power consumption meter reading process, which is executed by the CPU 324 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, first, the ammeter 346 at the same time is sent via the data input interface 336.
The current value IV and the voltage value VV of the voltmeter 348 are read (S3200, S3210). Then both values IV, VV
Multiply the product of by a constant ξ (IV · VV · ξ) to calculate the instantaneous power, integrate this, and use the amount of power WWC (← WWC
+ IV · VV · ξ) is calculated (S3220). When the accumulated power consumption WWC exceeds a predetermined value Θ (S322
5), then multiply the power consumption WWC by a constant ο,
The tax amount HHC is calculated (S3230), and the power consumption WWC is cleared (S3240).

Then, it is judged whether the position of the changeover switch 350 is the "internal" side or the "external" side (S32).
50) If it is the "built-in" side, then the paid amount SSC is reduced by the tax amount HHC (S3260), and this routine is once terminated. On the other hand, if the changeover switch 350 is on the “outside” side (S3250), the integrated tax amount GGC, which is the integrated value of the tax amount HHC, is calculated (GGC ← GGC + HHC, S32).
70).

As a result, when the changeover switch 350 is on the "built-in" side, the payment amount SSC serving as the control reference for "ON" and "OFF" of the relay 356 is subtracted according to the amount of electric power used. As described above, according to the processing described with reference to FIGS. 32 to 39, when the changeover switch 350 is located on the “built-in” side, the prepayment balance PPA of the onboard power card 360 is used as charging power for the onboard storage battery 318. The corresponding tax amount is reduced, and when the prepayment balance PPA is exhausted, charging of the onboard storage battery is stopped.

The charge for charging power to the onboard storage battery 318 is separately settled as a normal power charge. Next, the operation when the changeover switch 350 is located on the “outside” side, that is, without using the in-vehicle power card 360,
The operation when the power card 1 provided in the indoor operation device 5 is used will be described.

When the changeover switch 350 is located on the "outside" side, the withdrawal process shown in FIG.
The relay “off” process shown in 8 does not carry out the “on” or “off” of the relay 356, but ends as it is. In the power usage meter reading process shown in FIG. 39, the vehicle storage battery 318
The integrated tax amount GGC corresponding to the amount of electric power charged in is calculated (S3270).

The processes shown in FIGS. 32 to 35 are not executed because the vehicle-mounted power card 360 is not used here. In the vehicle-mounted control device 322 in which the integrated tax amount GGC is calculated by the processing of FIG.
When the integrated tax amount GGB transmission process shown in is started, first, the position of the changeover switch 350 is on the "built-in" side or "external".
It is determined whether or not it is the side (S3300), and when it is determined that it is the "built-in" side, this routine is once terminated as it is. On the other hand, when it is determined that the side is the “outside” side, the outdoor control device 7 of the pull-in board 53 is connected to the indoor electric light wiring 67.
The identification number HA (to be described later) sent via
O. It is received by the 1 data input / output interface 332 (S3310), and then it is determined whether or not the identification number HA was actually received (S3320).

If it is determined that the identification number HA has not been received, for example, the outdoor control device 7 is notified to the electric vehicle 3
If you decide that you do not have the function to handle 10 taxes,
When the timer TI is started (S3330) and the value of the timer TI reaches a predetermined value υ (S3340), a signal for turning off the relay 356 is output to the relay drive unit 352, and the relay 356 is actually "Off" (S33
50). When the timer TI is started, the integrated tax amount GGB in which the integrated tax amount GGC is substituted in another step of this routine and the identification number HA incremented in another step are transmitted to the outdoor control device 7, This routine is once ended (S3360).

At step 3360, the outdoor controller 7
When the identification number HA sent back to the user is received and returned to confirm that it has been received, and it is determined that it was received (S3320), the next received identification number HA executes this routine. By determining whether it is the same as the identification number HB transmitted at the time of the previous processing,
It is determined whether or not the identification number HA returned from the outdoor control device 7 is proper (the meaning of properness will be described later) (S3370).

If the received identification number HA is not proper, the processing after the above-mentioned timer TI start is executed (S3330 to S3360). On the other hand, the identification number HA
If it is determined that is appropriate, the timer TI is cleared (S3380), and the integrated tax amount GGB transmitted in step 3360 is subtracted from the current integrated tax amount GGC to obtain a new integrated tax amount GGC (S3390). ),
The identification number HA is incremented (S3400, S3
410).

Next, the relay 356 is turned on (S3420), and then it is judged whether or not the integrated tax amount GGC has become larger than the predetermined value ρ, whereby the integrated tax amount GG is determined.
It is determined whether C has reached the transmission standard (S343).
0). Until the accumulated tax amount GGC reaches the transmission standard, this routine is once terminated, and when it reaches the transmission standard, the accumulated tax amount GGC is first substituted into the accumulated tax amount GGB for transmission (S3440), and then the accumulated tax amount GGB is identified. The number HA and the outdoor control device 7 are transmitted (S3360).

As described above, the accumulated tax amount GGB is transmitted to the outdoor control device 7 by the accumulated tax amount GGB transmission process, and after confirming that the accumulated tax amount GGB is received by the outdoor control device 7, the accumulated tax amount GGB is calculated from the current accumulated tax amount GGC. It is executed that the transmitted integrated tax amount GGB is subtracted.

In the outdoor control device 7 which receives the accumulated tax amount GGB and the identification number HA, in order to receive them, FIG.
The integrated tax amount GGB receiving process shown in is executed every predetermined time. When the routine is activated, first, in the outdoor control device 7 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the integrated tax amount GGB and the identification number HA are received via the data input / output interface 85 (S3500), and the received identification is performed. The number HA is compared with the previously received identification number HA (S3510). As a result of this comparison, if the identification number HA received this time is other than the value obtained by adding the value "1" to the previously received identification number HA, if this value is the value obtained by temporarily ending this routine and adding the value "1". When it is determined that the accumulated tax amount GGB has been updated, the process proceeds to the next process.

If the integrated tax amount GGB is updated, then the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ (← GFZ + GGB) is calculated (S3520), and then the identification number HA is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted control device 322 (S3530). By the processing of this routine, the integrated tax amount GGB transmitted from the vehicle-mounted control device 322 to the outdoor control device 7 is received, and this confirmation signal is also transmitted.

The outdoor control device 7 in which the accumulated tax amount integrated value GGB is stored and the indoor operation device 5 (power card 1) perform the processing shown in FIGS.
Transmission / reception of withdrawable amount PPB, transmission / reception of withdrawal amount TTC, supervision of deposit payment memory 107, and electromagnetic switch 6
5 “on” and “off” are executed. Also, power card 1
42 accumulates the integrated tax amount SFZ calculated by the processing shown in FIGS. 42 to 44 below by executing the tax memory supervision processing shown in FIG.
Write the tax memory amount MFZ in.

Next, based on the processing of FIGS. 42 to 44,
A process of transmitting the integrated tax SFZ from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1 will be described. FIG. 42 is a flow chart of power consumption meter reading and tax withdrawal processing.
5 is executed every predetermined time. In steps 3600 to 3680 in this processing routine,
Steps 1600 to 168 in FIG. 16 already described
The same process as 0 is executed, and the meter reading of the power consumption is executed. After this processing, as the tax withdrawal processing, it is judged whether or not the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ accumulated in the integrated tax amount GGB receiving process of FIG. It is determined whether or not the reference value to be transmitted to the card 1 has been reached (S369).
0).

When it is determined that the reference value has been reached, first, the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ is subtracted from the paid amount SSC (SSC ← SSC-GFZ), and then (S3).
700), and a remittance value HFZ (← HFZ + GFZ) which is an integrated value of the integrated tax amount integrated value GFZ is calculated (S371).
0). After adding the accumulated tax amount accumulated value GFZ to the remittance value HFZ,
This GFZ is cleared (S3720), and this routine is once ended.

By the above processing, the amount SSC to be paid according to the amount of electric power used (including the use of electric power other than the electric vehicle 310)
Is also subtracted, and the tax associated with charging the electric vehicle 310 is also subtracted from the paid amount SSC. Moreover, the value obtained by subtracting the tax is recorded as the remittance value HFZ.

FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the remittance value HFZ transmission process, which is started by the CPU 75 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, it is first determined whether the flag FFF that is set or cleared in the step described below is set (= 1) or cleared (= 0) (S3800), and if it is set, the following is performed. As shown in, the steps until the flag FFF is set (S
3810 to 3840) Without performing, move to the next processing,
If it is not set, then an identification number HC (described later) is received from the power card 1 via the data input / output interface 85 (S3810), and then it is determined whether or not it was actually received (S3820). When the identification number HC is received, it is judged whether or not the next received identification number HC is the same as the identification number HD transmitted to the power card 1 by the process described later, so that the previously transmitted data is It is determined whether the power card 1 has received the data (S3830).

If the previously transmitted identification number HD and the currently received identification number HC are the same, the flag FFF is set (S3840). After setting the flag FFF,
Alternatively, if the flag FFF has already been set (S38
00), it is then determined whether or not the remittance value HFZ is larger than the predetermined value τ to determine whether or not the remittance value HFZ has reached a reference value for transmitting the remittance value HFZ to the power card 1 (S3850). ). If the reference value has not been reached, this routine is once terminated, and if the reference value has been reached, the identification number HC is incremented (HC ← HC + 1, S3
860), the identification number HC after the increment is identified by the identification number H for comparison with the snap 3830 described above.
Substitute for D (S3870).

After assigning the identification number HC to HD, the identification number H
D and the remittance value HFZ are transmitted to the power card 1 (S38
80) and substitute the remittance value HFZ into the remittance memory value HFF (S
3890), clear the remittance value HFZ (S3900),
After clearing the flag FFF (S3910), this routine is once ended.

When it is judged that the identification number HC has not been received in the judgment after receiving the identification number HC (S382).
0) or if the received identification number HC does not match the previously transmitted identification number HD (S3830), the identification number HD and the remittance storage value HFF set to the remittance value HFZ are retransmitted ( S3920).

As described above, the remittance value HFZ is transmitted from the outdoor control device 7 to the power card 1 by the remittance value HFZ transmission process of FIG. FIG. 44 is a flowchart of the remittance value HFZ reception process, which is started by the CPU 31 of the power card 1 at predetermined time intervals. When this process is activated, the outdoor control device 7 is first sent via the data input / output interface 43.
The remittance value HFZ and the identification number HD sent from are received (S4000), and then the presently received identification number HD and the previously received identification number HD are compared (S401).
0).

As a result of this comparison, the current HD is the previous HD
If it is a value other than the value obtained by adding the value “1” to, the routine is temporarily terminated. If the value obtained by adding the value “1” is added, the integrated tax SFZ (← SFZ), which is the integrated value of the remittance value HFZ.
+ HFZ) is calculated (S4020). Next, the identification number HD is transmitted as the identification number HC to the outdoor control device 7 (S4030), and this routine is once ended.

As a result, the remittance value HFZ transmitted from the outdoor control device 7 can be received and the integrated tax SFZ which is the integrated value thereof can be recorded in the power card 1. The accumulated tax SFZ is converted into the tax memory amount MFZ by executing the tax memory supervision processing shown in FIG.
It is recorded in the tax memory 370.

According to the third embodiment described above, taxes can be added to the electric power charged in the electric vehicle 310. In addition, this tax is added to the in-vehicle power card 36.
Either 0 or the power card 1 of the indoor operation device 5 can be selected. Therefore, the tax can be collected accurately and surely with almost no burden on the electric power user, so that such a tax system can be applied smoothly, which is an extremely excellent effect.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of the power card main routine for the power post with built-in watt hour meter shown in FIG. 47 which is executed by the power card 402. In this main routine, first, the power card 402 is the power card insertion slot 44 of the post body 404.
It is determined whether or not it is inserted from 0 and fitted in the power card coupling unit 424 (S4100). This is the power supply unit 4
The determination is made based on whether or not AC 100 V is supplied to the 86 from the post main body 404, thereby determining whether or not the power card 402 is ready for use.

If it is determined that the power card 402 has been inserted into the post body 404, next, the prepayment balance PPA is read from the prepayment memory 490 in the PROM 458 and substituted into the withdrawable amount PPB (S4110). Next, it is determined whether or not the power card 402 can be used by determining whether or not the withdrawable amount PPB is larger than the value “0” (S4120).

When it is determined that the power card 402 can be used, the relay driver 462 is connected to the electromagnetic switch 4 next.
A signal for operating "on" 12 is output (S413
0), the electromagnetic switch 412 is actually turned on, and then the electric energy pulse WHS of the electric energy pulse output unit 434 is input via the electric energy pulse interface 482 (S4140).

After inputting the electric energy pulse WHS, WHS becomes 1
It is determined whether or not a pulse is input (S4150, S416
0) When it is determined that one pulse has been input, the withdrawable amount PPB is subtracted by the predetermined value φ (S41
70), the electric energy charge is deducted by WHS "1" pulse.

After subtracting the withdrawable amount PPB, the counter N
N is incremented (S4180), and then it is determined whether the counter NN has exceeded a predetermined value χ (S419).

0). That is, a new advance payment balance PPA is written every time the withdrawable amount PPB decreases by the writing reference value.

When it is determined that the input has not been made after the determination of the input of the WHS "1" pulse described above, it is determined that the PPB has decreased by the writing reference value, or it has not decreased, or the prepayment balance. After writing the PPA in the prepayment memory 490, it is first determined whether or not the power card 402 has been pulled out from the post body 404 (S4220). If not, the processing from step 4120 is repeated. On the other hand, if it has been withdrawn, the current withdrawable amount PPB is written into the prepayment memory 490 as the prepayment balance PPA (S4250), and then the prepayment balance PPA is displayed on the display 480 (S4260) to start the main routine. Return to. As a result, when the power is not used by the power card 402, the prepayment balance PPA becomes P
It is promptly stored in the advance payment memory 490 of the ROM 458.

When the withdrawable amount PPB is exhausted (S4120), the electromagnetic switch 412 is turned off (S4120).
4270), then the display of "zero balance" is displayed on the display 480 (S4280), and the main routine is ended. Since the power post 400 described above can supply power only by the control of the power card 402 without providing the post main body 404 with an electronic device or the like, the number of parts of the post main body 404 is reduced, and reliability and reliability are improved.
