Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus for displaying prices and management data.
  • 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.
  • the publication FR-A-2 238 195 (Yazaki Sogyo Kabushiki Kaisha) describes taximeters comprising two displays with light segments. One of the displays is used to display the price of the trip while the other is used to display management data.
  • An object of the invention is to provide means making it possible to display figures representing management data on a luminous segment display of an electronic device on which figures representing a price to be paid are normally displayed continuously without any 'there may be confusion between management data and a price to pay.
  • the invention relates to electronic devices for calculating and displaying prices and management data of the type comprising a calculation and memory unit providing price and management information and a device for displaying this information.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by means of a device which comprises a register or a memory in which is recorded, in coded form, a statement indicating the non-obligation to pay, and a selector having two inputs which are connected. one to said computing and memory unit and the other to said register and an output which is connected to said display device and an AND gate having two inputs which are connected one on a clock and the other on a circuit logic which delivers a positive polarity signal when the taximeter is in a being corresponding to the display of management data, which gate AND has an output which is connected to said selector and which alternately controls the passage to the information display device management from said unit and from the entry recorded in said register.
  • the invention relates more particularly to electronic taximeters which include a single display device composed of light segments making it possible to display figures representing either the price of the races or management data.
  • the racing prices are displayed continuously while the management data are displayed flashing and, during the intervals between the flashing displays of management data, letters are displayed on the same light segments. which make up a legible statement indicating that the figures displayed do not constitute a price to be paid.
  • 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.
  • the display of this data is carried out intermittently and alternately with the display of a statement specifying that the data displayed is not the 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.
  • Block 10 designates the unit for storing and calculating the taximeter, which is in itself of known type.
  • the unit 10 receives all of 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 coming 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.
  • the selector 11 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.
  • circuits represented in FIG. 2 can be produced in the form of a microprocessor ensuring all the necessary functions.
  • the management data and the price are displayed by means of a single display device.
  • the invention is also applicable in the case where the management data and the prices are displayed on separate display devices.
  • the data representative of the price will be transmitted directly to the corresponding display device without going through the selector, the diagram being identical for the rest.
  • 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.
