Description

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des appareils pour afficher des prix et des données de gestion.The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for displaying prices and management data.

Le secteur technique est celui des appareils électroniques servant à calculer et à afficher un prix à payer,notamment les taximètres électroniques, et également conçus pour l'affichage de données de gestion.The technical sector is that of electronic devices used to calculate and display a price to pay, in particular electronic taximeters, and also designed for displaying management data.

Les entreprises possédant un parc de taxis souhaitent disposer de données détaillées relativement au service assuré par les véhicules (total des recettes, kilométrage total sur une période donnée, nombre total de courses, etc.) et les taximètres électroniques comprennent des mémoires et des moyens de calcul appropriés à cet effet. Des moyens sont prévus pour sélectionner le type de données à afficher, les données de gestion étant visualisées au moyen d'un dispositif d'affichage particulier ou avec le même que celui qui sert à afficher le prix.Companies with a fleet of taxis wish to have detailed data relating to the service provided by vehicles (total revenue, total mileage over a given period, total number of races, etc.) and electronic taximeters include memories and means of appropriate calculations for this purpose. Means are provided for selecting the type of data to be displayed, the management data being displayed by means of a particular display device or with the same as that used to display the price.

Il en est de même pour d'autres types d'appareils électroniques, tels que ceux utilisés dans les stations de distribution de carburant, etc.The same is true for other types of electronic devices, such as those used in fuel dispensing stations, etc.

Il est important, pour éviter une fraude possible, que le , client puisse vérifier facilement que les données qui sont visualisées concernent bien le prix du transport et non des données de gestion. Cela est très utile lorsque le prix et les données de gestion et le prix à payer sont visualisés au moyen du même dispositif d'affichage.It is important, in order to avoid possible fraud, that the customer can easily verify that the data which are displayed relate to the price of transport and not management data. This is very useful when the price and the management data and the price to be paid are displayed by means of the same display device.

Une solution pour y parvenir consiste à placer sous le dispositif d'affichage des inscriptions qui explicitent le type de données affichées, telles que "prix à payer" lorsque c'est le prix qui est affiché, etc. Mais cette solution oblige à prévoir des inscriptions su- plémentaires sur la paroi avant de l'appareil.One solution to achieve this is to place under the display device inscriptions explaining the type of data displayed, such as "price to pay" when the price is displayed, etc. However, this solution makes it necessary to provide additional inscriptions on the front wall of the device.

L'invention vise un procédé d'affichage des données de gestion qui permet au client de s'apercevoir que les données affichées sont des données de gestion, et qui n'oblige pas à prévoir des inscriptions supplémentaires.The invention relates to a method for displaying management data which allows the client to perceive that the data displayed is management data, and which does not require additional registrations to be provided.

Selon l'invention, on réalise un affichage intermittent des données de gestion et, pendant les intervalles séparant les affichages des données de gestion, on affiche une mention indiquant que les données affichées ne concernent pas un prix à payer.According to the invention, an intermittent display of the management data is produced and, during the intervals separating the displays from the management data, a statement is displayed indicating that the data displayed does not relate to a price to be paid.

De préférence, dans le cas d'un dispositif d'affichage composé de modules lumineux dont l'allumage permet de représenter des chif- , fres et des lettres, on affiche la mention indiquant qu'aucun paiement n'est dû, en utilisant les modules lumineux qui servent à l'affichage des données de gestion,et de façon intermittente pendant les intervalles entre les clignotements successifs des modules correspondant à l'affichage d'une donnée de gestion.Preferably, in the case of a display device composed of light modules, the ignition of which makes it possible to represent figures, letters and letters, the statement indicating that no payment is due is displayed, using the light modules which are used to display management data, and intermittently during the intervals between successive flashes of the modules corresponding to the display of management data.

Dans le cas d'un taximètre électronique comportant un dispositif d'affichage unique sur lequel s'affiche le prix des courses et sur lequel on peut également afficher des informations de gestion enregistrées dans le taximètre, on affiche le prix des courses de façon continue et on affiche les informations de gestion de façon intermittente et en alternance avec une mention indiquant que ces informations intermittentes ne concernent pas un prix dû.In the case of an electronic taximeter comprising a single display device on which the price of the races is displayed and on which it is also possible to display management information recorded in the taximeter, the price of the races is displayed continuously and the management information is displayed intermittently and alternately with a mention indicating that this intermittent information does not relate to a price due.

On peut par exemple afficher la mention "non dû" au moyen du dispositif d'affichage.One can for example display the mention "not due" by means of the display device.

Le clignotement de l'affichage des données de gestion donne un effet visuel surprenant, très différent de l'affichage normal du prix, qui est continu, et attirera immanquablement l'attention du client. Celui-ci lira alors la mention telle que "non dû" apparaissant de façon intermittente à la place des données chiffrées.The flashing of the management data display gives a surprising visual effect, very different from the normal price display, which is continuous, and will inevitably attract the attention of the customer. This will then read the statement such as "not due" appearing intermittently in place of the encrypted data.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description ci-après d'un exemple de réalisation représenté sur les dessins annexés :

  • - la figure 1 montre la paroi avant d'un taximère électronique portant un dispositif d'affichage,
  • - la figure 2 représente sous forme de schéma-blocs le dispositif de commande de l'affichage.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings:
  • FIG. 1 shows the front wall of an electronic taximeter carrying a display device,
  • - Figure 2 shows in the form of a block diagram the display control device.

La figure 1 illustre le mode d'affichage selon l'invention. La paroi visible 1 du taximère électronique porte six modules d'affichage numérique 2 qui, dans l'exemple représenté, sont à sept segments figurés en trait fin. Ce dispositif sert à l'affichage aussi bien du prix du transport que des données de gestion telles que kilométrage total, total des recettes, etc.. Des moyens connus sont prévus pour sélectionner le type de données que l'on souhaite afficher.FIG. 1 illustrates the display mode according to the invention. The visible wall 1 of the electronic taximeter carries six digital display modules 2 which, in the example shown, are with seven segments shown in thin lines. This device is used to display both the transport price and management data such as total mileage, total revenue, etc. Known means are provided for selecting the type of data that one wishes to display.

Selon l'invention, lorsqu'on choisit d'afficher des données de gestion, l'affichage de ces données s'effectue de façon intermittente et en alternance avec l'affichage d'une mention précisant que les données affichées ne sont pas l'indication du prix du transport. Cette mention doit pouvoir être formée au moyen des six modules d'affichages à sept segments, et on utilise à cet effet la mention "non dû" comme le montre la figure 1.According to the invention, when one chooses to display management data, the display of this data is carried out intermittently and alternately with the display of a statement specifying that the data displayed is not an indication of the transport price. This mention must be able to be formed by means of the six display modules with seven segments, and the mention "not due" is used for this purpose as shown in FIG. 1.

Bien entendu, on pourrait également utiliser des modules d'affichage d'un autre type, par exemple à douze ou quinze segments, et une autre mention ayant la même signification.Of course, one could also use display modules of another type, for example with twelve or fifteen segments, and another mention having the same meaning.

Le schéma-blocs de la figure 2 explicite les moyens permettant d'obtenir un tel mode d'affichage. Le bloc 10 désigne l'unité de mémorisation et de calcul du taximètre, qui est en elle-même de type connu. L'unité 10 reçoit l'ensemble des informations nécessaires au calcul des données (kilométrage, tarif applicable, etc.) et également des signaux S de sélection du type de données à afficher. Elle délivre des données à afficher à un sélecteur 11.The block diagram of FIG. 2 explains the means making it possible to obtain such a display mode. Block 10 designates the unit for storing and calculating the taximeter, which is in itself of known type. The unit 10 receives all the information necessary for calculating the data (mileage, applicable tariff, etc.) and also signals S for selecting the type of data to be displayed. It delivers data to be displayed to a selector 11.

Le sélecteur 11 reçoit sur son autre entrée les données correspondant à la mention "non dû", émises en permanence par un registre 12 dans lequel cette mention est enregistrée sous forme codée.The selector 11 receives on its other input the data corresponding to the mention "not due", permanently transmitted by a register 12 in which this mention is recorded in coded form.

Le sélecteur 11 est commandé par une porte ET 13 et transmet au dispositif d'affichage 14, incorporant les modules 2 de la figure 1, les informations issues de l'unité 10 lorsque la sortie de la porte 13 est au niveau "0", et celles issues du registre 12 dans le cas contraire. La porte ET 13 a une entrée reliée à une horloge 15 émettant des signaux H en créneaux avec une période de l'ordre de 1 à 2 secondes et son autre entrée reliée à un circuit logique 16. Le circuit 16 reçoit de l'unité 10 des signaux représentatifs de l'état de fonctionnement du taximètre, et combine ces signaux de manière à délivrer un signal au niveau "1" lorsque le taximètre est dans un état correspondant à l'affichage de données de gestion. Dans ce cas, la porte ET 13 transmet le signal d'horloge H.The selector 11 is controlled by an AND gate 13 and transmits to the display device 14, incorporating the modules 2 of FIG. 1, the information from the unit 10 when the output of the gate 13 is at level "0", and those from register 12 otherwise. The AND gate 13 has an input connected to a clock 15 transmitting H signals in slots with a period of the order of 1 to 2 seconds and its other input connected to a logic circuit 16. The circuit 16 receives from the unit 10 signals representative of the operating state of the taximeter, and combines these signals so as to deliver a signal at level "1" when the taximeter is in a state corresponding to the display of management data. In this case, the AND gate 13 transmits the clock signal H.

Le sélecteur Il peut alors transmettre alternativement, au rythme du signal d'horloge H, les données de gestion issues de l'unité 10 et les données délivrées par le registre 12, ce qui aboutit à l'affichage alterné desdites données et de la mention "non dü" par le dispositif 14, la période précitée de 1 à 2 secondes permettant une lecture claire des indications affichées tout en procurant l'effet de clignotement désiré.The selector II can then transmit alternately, at the rate of the clock signal H, the management data coming from the unit 10 and the data delivered by the register 12, which results in the alternating display of said data and of the mention "not due" by the device 14, the aforementioned period of 1 to 2 seconds allowing a clear reading of the indications displayed while providing the desired flashing effect.

Il faut noter que les circuits représentés à la figure 2 peuvent être réalisés sous la forme d'un microprocesseur assurant l'ensemble des fonctions nécessaires.It should be noted that the circuits represented in FIG. 2 can be produced in the form of a microprocessor ensuring all the necessary functions.

Dans l'exemple décrit, les données de gestion et le prix son.t visualisés au moyen d'un dispositif d'affichage unique.In the example described, the management data and the price are displayed by means of a single display device.

Mais l'invention est également applicable dans le cas où les données de gestion et le prix sont visualisés sur des dispositifs d'affichage distincts. Dans ce cas, les données représentatives du prix seront transmises directement au dispositif d'affichage correspondant sans passer par le sélecteur, le schéma étant identique pour le reste.However, the invention is also applicable in the case where the management data and the price are displayed on separate display devices. In this case, the data representing the price will be transmitted directly to the corresponding display device without going through the selector, the diagram being identical for the rest.

L'exemple décrit concerne un taximètre électronique, mais il est clair que l'invention est applicable à tous les appareils électroniques remplissant les mêmes fonctions, à savoir le calcul et l'affichage d'un prix à payer et de données de gestion, par exemple aux appareils utilisés dans les stations de distribution de carburant, sur les caisses enregistreuses etc..The example described relates to an electronic taximeter, but it is clear that the invention is applicable to all electronic devices fulfilling the same functions, namely the calculation and display of a price to pay and of management data, by example to devices used in fuel dispensing stations, on cash registers etc.
