DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a taxi card system that uses a card to pay taxi fares and the like.

[Description of the Prior Art] As is well known, in taxis, cash is widely used as a form of fare payment. Therefore, there are problems such as the hassle of handling change with passengers, and the need to always be careful about theft or robbery of cash for change in the taxi or the received fare.

In addition, since sales management and operation management are performed based on the daily driving report kept by the taxi driver, when such management is performed on a computer, it is necessary to input the contents of the daily driving report via the keyboard. . Therefore, in terms of management, there are problems such as not only requiring troublesome steps but also time. Furthermore, it is troublesome for the taxi driver to record the pick-up location, the drop-off location, the fare, etc. in the daily driving report every time a passenger gets on the taxi, and it is desirable to reduce the burden from the viewpoint of safe driving.

[Objective of the Invention 1 The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned viewpoint, and its object is to make it possible to pay a taxi fare by card, and to eliminate the troublesome data input in management. Another object of the present invention is to provide a taxi card system that contributes to alleviating the troublesome task of keeping daily driving reports.

[Means for Achieving the Object] The present invention includes a passenger card in which at least an amount of money and a card discrimination code are stored, a means for determining whether or not the passenger card can be adopted based on the card discrimination code, and one passenger card. means for calculating a written amount from the amount stored in the passenger card and the taxi fare based on the adoption, and updating and writing the amount into the passenger card; a means for calculating the taxi fare; and when the card is adopted. The above object is achieved by a system having means for creating and storing a daily driving report as a card user, and creating and storing a daily driving report as a cash customer when a card is not accepted.

[Embodiment of the Invention] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and this system is installed in a taxi.

In the figure, l is a card determination device that determines whether the passenger card 5 can be adopted, 2 is a daily report creation device that creates daily report data to be written to the driver card 6, 3 is a fare calculation device that calculates a taxi fare, and 4 is a written amount calculation device that writes a new amount to the passenger card 5.

The passenger card 5 is, for example, a magnetic card, and has at least a card identification code and an amount stored therein. The card identification code and the amount are written before being issued to the card user, and the card user pays money to purchase the passenger card 5 on which the amount corresponding to the payment is written.

That is, the passenger card 5 is a prepaid card. The card identification code of the passenger card 5 indicates the taxi company, etc. to which the card can be applied, and is used as identification data to determine whether or not it is a predetermined card. .

The driver card 6 is, for example, an electrically re-writable EE card.
This is an IC card composed of FROM, and has a storage area for daily driving reports, a storage area for driver code, name, date, etc., and a storage area for reference data necessary for fare calculation. The storage area of the daily driving report includes a classification column in which data indicating whether the passenger is a card user or a cash passenger is stored, a boarding/disembarking place column in which the passenger's boarding and alighting locations are stored, and a field at which the passenger boarded and alighted. Items such as a time tank where the time is stored and a fee column where the fee is stored are provided. The reference data required for fare calculation includes the basic initial fare, additional charges per mileage, additional charges per hour, and a 90% surcharge. Data is written into the storage area for the driver code, name, date, etc., and the storage area for reference data necessary for fare calculation before the driver starts riding. Note that the reference data necessary for fee calculation can also be fixedly stored in the fee calculation device 3.

The driver card 6 is set in a card reader/writer 7 for driver cards when riding the vehicle, and is taken out when the driver's duty is completed. When the driver card 6 is set, the card reader/writer 7 sends the standard data necessary for fare calculation and the driver's name, year, month, and date necessary for creating a receipt to the fare calculation device 3. is stored in the fee calculation device 3.

When a passenger gets on the train, boarding location data is input to the daily report creation device 2 via the boarding/alighting location input device 8. It has an input oyster.

Then, divide the area into blocks like the eyes of the foundation,
Assign a different code to each regional block, enter the code corresponding to the desired regional block using the region input key,
0 boarding place data and boarding time data in which the boarding time data is input to the daily report creation device 2 via the time output device 9 by inputting the boarding place data configured to input whether boarding or alighting with an identification key. is temporarily stored in the daily report creation device 2 as daily report data.

The daily report creation device 2 provides a fare calculation start signal to the fare calculation device 3 upon input of the boarding location data described above. As a result, the fare calculation device 3 calculates the taxi fare for the travel distance and time based on the time data from the time output device 9 and the distance data from the mileage output device 10, and according to the previously stored reference data for fare calculation. Start. The calculation fee is displayed on the display device 11.

When arriving at the alighting destination, the boarding/disembarking point input device 8
The alighting point data is inputted to the daily report creation device N2 via.

By inputting this alighting place data, the alighting time data is taken into the daily report creation device 2 via the time output device 9, and the alighting place data and the alighting time data are temporarily stored in the daily report creation device 2 as daily report data. .

The daily report creation device 2 provides a fare calculation end signal to the fare calculation device 3 upon input of the above-mentioned alighting place data. As a result, the fare calculation device 3 stops the fare calculation and gives the taxi fare to the daily report creation device 2 and the written amount calculation device 4.The taxi fare given to the daily report creation device 2 is temporarily stored as daily report data. The taxi fare given to the written amount calculation device 4 is temporarily stored as written amount calculation data.

If the passenger is a card user, the passenger card 5 owned by the passenger is inserted into the card reader/writer 12 for passenger cards.The contents of the passenger card 5 are read by the card reader/writer 1.
Passenger card 5
It is determined whether or not the card is a predetermined card based on the card determination code, and it is determined whether or not the card 5 can be adopted. If the card 5 is a predetermined card, it can be adopted, and the amount stored in the passenger card 5 is given to the written amount calculation device 4, and a signal indicating that the card is a card user is sent to the daily report creation device 2 and the fare calculation device 3. The signal indicating that the card user is a card user given to the daily report creation device 2 is temporarily stored as daily report data indicating that the card user is a card user. The signal indicating that the user is a card user is temporarily stored as receipt creation data indicating that the user is a card user. On the other hand, if the card is not the predetermined card, a card return signal is sent from the card determination device 1 to the card reader/writer 12, and the card is ejected from the card reader/writer 12. Of course, it is also possible to display an indication that the card cannot be used when the card is returned. In this way, if the card is not a predetermined card, the customer will be treated as a cash customer, which will be described later.

When the amount of money stored in the passenger card 5 is given to the written amount calculation device 4, the amount of money written to the passenger card 5 is calculated based on this amount and the temporarily stored taxi fare.

If the amount stored on the passenger card is a taxi fare,
The difference between the two amounts is sent to the card reader/writer 12 as the written amount, and the above-mentioned difference is written into the passenger card 5 in place of the previously stored amount. The written difference amount is immediately read out and fed back to the written amount calculation device 4,
Its authenticity can be confirmed. If the read difference amount and the written difference amount match, a card return signal is given from the written amount calculating device 4 to the card reader/writer 12, and the passenger card 5 is ejected to the outside. If the read difference amount and the written difference amount do not match, the difference amount is written again to ensure that they match. In this example, if a match is not found even after writing the difference three times, the written amount calculation device 4 sends display data to the display device 11 indicating a write operation failure of the card reader/writer 12, and
Display data representing the difference between the taxi fare 9 and the amount 9 stored in the passenger card 5 is sent. Along with this, the data indicating that the difference was returned to the passenger in cash and the difference are sent from the written amount calculation device 4 to the daily report creation device 2, and then the written amount calculation device 4 sends the card to the card reader/writer 1z. A collection signal is sent, and the passenger card 5 is collected into the collection chamber of the card reader/writer 12 without being ejected to the outside. The difference return data given to the zero daily report creation device 2 and the difference are temporarily stored as daily report data. be remembered. In such a case, the difference will be returned to the passenger in cash according to the display on the display Nll.

If the amount stored in the passenger card 5 is a taxi fare, display information to that effect is given from the written amount calculating device 4 to the display device 11, and a card collection signal is sent to the card reader/writer 12. As a result, passenger card 5
is stored in the card reader/writer 1 without being ejected to the outside.
It is collected in the second collection room.

If the amount stored in the passenger card 5 is the taxi fare, the written amount calculation device 4 provides display information indicating the amount of money in shortfall to the display device 11, and also sends a card collection signal to the card reader/writer 12. , the passenger card 5 is collected. The shortfall amount will be paid in cash.

If the amount stored in the passenger card 5 is greater than the taxi fare, and the passenger card 5 is returned, the written amount calculation device 4 calculates the following:
Prior to sending the card return signal, the difference written in the passenger card 5 is given to the fare calculation device 3, and if the amount stored in one passenger card 5 is a taxi fare, the difference is given to the fare calculation device 3 before the card return signal is sent. Then, the insufficient amount is given to the daily report creation device 2.

The difference amount given to the charge calculation device 3 is temporarily stored as receipt creation data, and the shortfall amount given to the daily report creation device 2 is temporarily stored as daily report data.

The written amount calculation device 4 sends a strobe signal to the daily report creation device 2 and the fee calculation device 13 when sending a card return signal or card collection signal to the card reader/writer 12 for passenger cards.

The daily report creation device 2 sends the temporarily stored daily report data to the card reader/writer 7 for the driver's card upon input of the strobe signal from the written amount calculation device 4. As a result, the card reader/writer 7 outputs the boarding location data, the alighting location data, the boarding time data, the alighting time data, the taxi fare, the insufficient charge that was paid in cash, the cash The difference, etc. returned in step 2 is written in a predetermined field on the driver card 6.

The fare calculation wave M3 is the difference amount newly written in the taxi fare 9 passenger card 5 by inputting the strobe signal from the written amount calculation device 4 (only when returning the passenger card 5).
, receipt creation data such as the taxi company name, driver's name and date are sent to the receipt issuer 13. The receipt issued by the receipt issuer 13 is given to the passenger.

If the passenger is a cash passenger, the cash passenger signal is sent to the daily report creation device 2 and fare calculation device 3 via the cash passenger input device 14.
given to. The cash customer input device 14 has, for example, a cash storage key, and when this key is pressed,
The zero daily report creation device 2 to which the cash customer signal is sent sends the daily report data temporarily stored together with the data indicating that the customer is a cash customer to the card reader/writer 7 for the driver card in response to the input of the cash customer signal. As a result, the card reader/writer 7
The fare calculation device 3 writes daily report data to the driver card 5 in correspondence with the data indicating that the driver is a cash customer.
Upon input of the cash customer signal, receipt creation data in accordance with data indicating that the customer is a cash customer is provided to the receipt issuer 13.

In this way, the daily driving report is written to the driver card 6. The driver card 6 is taken out from the card reader/writer 7 at the end of one ride and handed over to the management department. In the management department, the driver card 6 is set in a card reader, the contents of which are input into a management computer, and operation management, sales management, etc. are performed. After data input is completed, the contents of the driver card 6 are cleared and saved for next use.

2, 3 and 4 show other embodiments of the present invention, with FIG. 2 being a configuration diagram and FIGS.
An operational flowchart of the configuration shown in the figure is shown.

In Figure 2, the same symbols as in Figure 1 indicate the same items.
The difference from the configuration in FIG. 1 is that the card determination device 1. Daily report creation device 2. The fee calculation device 3 and the written amount calculation device 4 are configured by a microcomputer 20. below,
The operation of the configuration shown in FIG. 2 will be explained using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

When the control program starts when the power is turned on, the driver card 6 goes through initialization and waits for insertion into the card reader/writer 7 (step 30).
is set in the card reader/writer 7, the contents of the driver's card 6 are read into the microcomputer 20 via the card reader/writer 7 (step 31), and the microcomputer 20 receives reference data etc. required for fare calculation. is stored, and the system waits for input of boarding location data (step 32).

When a passenger gets on board, the driver enters boarding location data through the boarding/disembarking location input device 8, and the boarding time data is taken in from the time output device 9. This is temporarily stored together with the boarding location data as daily report data (step 33).

Next, the calculation of the taxi fare is started, and based on the distance data of the mileage output device 10 and the time data of the time output device 9, the end of the initial fare, the addition of a fee per distance, the addition of a fee per hour, etc. are calculated. The calculated taxi fare is given to the display device 11 until the alighting point data is input (steps 34, 35, and 36).
.

Upon arrival at the destination, the driver inputs the alighting location data via the boarding/disembarking location input device 8. By inputting the drop-off point data, the calculation of the taxi fare will be stopped.
After the taxi fare is temporarily stored (step 37), the alighting time data is taken in from the time output device 9 and is temporarily stored as daily report data together with the alighting place data (step 38).

Next, it is determined whether the customer is a cash customer or a card customer (
In step 39), this determination is made based on whether a cash customer signal is input via the cash customer input device 14. If the passenger is a card user, the process proceeds to step 40 and the card processing shown in FIG. 4 is started.

In FIG. 4, at the start of card processing, the state is in a state of waiting for the insertion of the passenger card 5 into the card reader/writer 12 (step 401). When the passenger card 5 is inserted into the card reader/writer 12, the contents of the card 5 are is read (step 402), and it is determined whether or not it is a predetermined card based on the card identification code (step 403).
.

As a result, the card presented is not the prescribed card,
If the taxi cannot be used, the process moves to step 404, and after unusable display data is sent to the display device 11, a card return signal is given to the card reader/writer 12 (step 405). As a result, the inserted card is returned and the customer is treated as a cash customer as described below.

On the other hand, if it is a predetermined card, the fact that the card is used is temporarily stored (step 406), and then the difference between the amount stored in the passenger card 5 and the taxi fare is calculated (
Step 407).

If the result of the difference calculation is that the amount stored in the passenger card 5>taxi fare, then step 408 and step 409 are performed.
10, the difference data is sent to the card reader/writer 12 for the passenger card, and the difference is written to the passenger card 5 via the card reader/writer 12 in place of the previously stored amount.

The written difference amount is read out in the next step 411,
A determination is made whether the read difference amount is equal to the written difference amount (step 412). As a result, if they match, the difference is temporarily stored, and then a card return signal is sent to the card reader/writer 12 (steps 413 and 414), and the process proceeds to step 41 in FIG. The returned passenger card 5 is returned to the user.

As a result of the difference calculation, if the amount stored in the passenger card 5 = the taxi fare, the process moves from step 408 to step 415, and after display data indicating that the difference is O is sent to the display device 11, the card reader/writer 12 A card collection signal is sent to (step 416), and step 4 in FIG.
When the card reader/writer 12 receives the card collection signal, the card reader/writer 12 collects the passenger card 5 in a predetermined collection room.

As a result of the difference calculation, if the amount stored in the passenger card 5 is equal to the taxi fare, the process moves from step 409 to step 417, where the display data of the amount of shortage is sent to the display device 11, and the amount of shortage is temporarily stored. Step 4
16, the passenger card 5 is collected and the process proceeds to step 41 in FIG. 3, where the missing amount is to be paid in cash.

In addition, in step 412, if the difference amount read from the passenger card 5 and the written difference amount do not match, the difference amount is written again after determining the number of times n of mismatch (n).
In step 418), in this example, if the difference written three times does not match, rewriting is no longer performed, and the difference between the amount stored in the passenger card 5 and the taxi fare 1 is displayed on the display device 11. sent (step 419)
After temporarily storing data indicating that the difference was returned to the passenger in cash (step 420), the process returns to step 416 and the passenger card 5 is collected.

In step 41, the taxi fare 9, the difference newly written on the passenger card 5 (only when the passenger card 5 is returned), the taxi company name, the date of the driver's name, and the fact that the card is used are displayed. Receipt creation data such as notation data is sent to the receipt issuer 13.Then, the temporarily stored boarding and alighting place data, boarding and alighting time data, taxi fare, missing amount, and cash are returned. The daily report data, such as the difference in the amount paid and data indicating that the card is a card user, is sent to the card reader/writer 7 for the driver (step 42), and the daily report data is sent to the predetermined column of the driver's card 6 via the card reader/writer 7. Writing is performed. After writing to the driver card 6, return to step 32,
The system is again waiting for input of boarding location data.

In the case of a cash customer, a cash customer signal is given from the cash customer input device 14, and the process moves from step 39 to step 43, where the taxi fare, taxi company name, and driving operation are entered along with notation data indicating that the customer is a cash customer. Receipt creation data such as book title, year, month and date is sent to the receipt issuer 13.

Next, the temporarily stored pick-up and drop-off location data.

Daily report data such as boarding time and alighting time data, taxi fare, etc., together with data indicating that the driver is a cash passenger, is sent to the card reader/writer 7 for the driver (step 44), and daily report data according to the cash passenger is written. After that, the process returns to step 3z and waits for input of boarding location data.

As described in the previous embodiment, the driver card 5 is taken out at the end of the ride, and its data is processed by the management computer.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, taxi fares can be paid by card, which eliminates the hassle of handling change with passengers and the hassle of handling large amounts of cash. It can reduce the driver's stress due to leaving it in the taxi, and since the daily driving report is stored as data on the driver's card, the driver's card can be used when inputting data to the management computer. It is sufficient to just set it in the reader, which eliminates the hassle of data input.Furthermore, since the driver does not need to keep a daily driving report, the hassle is alleviated.
