Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of parking tax payment management, a validation coupon and a verification terminal this payment.
  • the present invention therefore aims to facilitate drivers' access to payment for their parking taxes.
  • a document of known art the patent US 5,905,247, describes a payment control system of parking taxes which includes a tax register of parking containing information concerning one or multiple vehicles for which payment, taxes parking lot is realized, an identification device of each vehicle including a vehicle code, by example a barcode affixed to the windshield of the vehicle, readable using a control device and such a control device allowing both automatic reading, for example optical, of the code vehicle, transmitting a request message from check containing the vehicle code to the register of parking fees, and receiving a message information regarding payment or non-payment of the parking tax.
  • a vehicle code by example a barcode affixed to the windshield of the vehicle
  • the user can program another time end of parking by accessing the server by telephone, by dialing the determined access number to this one.
  • the user can also request, by mail, a certification of his payment.
  • the optical code is a bar code.
  • the user receives an identifier in the form a coupon in two parts: the first forming the sticker, the second containing the secret code.
  • the sticker can be a sticker sticker, or in a material, such as paper or cardboard, allowing the user to insert the sticker in a pocket transparent attached to the windshield of a said vehicle.
  • the secret code can be a secret code to be scratched on the second part of the coupon.
  • the agent responsible for verifying the voucher parking fee payment uses reader optical to read the applied optical code on the windshield of a vehicle, this reading being transmitted using a mobile phone to the server who checks the payment of the tax parking for the relevant identifier.
  • an optical or audible signal emitted by the mobile phone notifies the officer responsible for verification in the event of invalid parking.
  • the invention also relates to the coupon for the payment of parking taxes characterized in that that it comprises two parts, the first forming a sticker with an optical code, which can be a barcode, the second containing a secret code.
  • this coupon can be made of any material, such as paper or cardboard, as the user can insert it in a transparent pocket attached to the windshield of a vehicle.
  • the secret code can be a secret code to scratch.
  • the sticker can also be a sticker self-adhesive
  • FIG 1 illustrates the different means involved in the process of the invention.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the dialogue between the user and the time server, according to the method of the invention.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a coupon that can receive the user when subscribing to virtual parking meter service.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the verification of the voucher payment of parking taxes in the process of the invention.
  • Figure 5 illustrates an example of creation of the payment verification terminal.
  • the present invention is intended for drivers or users who want to park a vehicle on a parking space falling under the blow of a tax, for example hourly, of driver's parking space immediately and completely for a limited time.
  • the user first goes to the town hall or anywhere point approved for subscription to a service virtual parking meter, where he fills out a form subscription, where it provides an identity statement bank so that payment can be made by direct debit, and is given in exchange a identifying a sticker in two parts comprising an optical code, on the other a secret code.
  • the user subscriber 10 then affixes said sticker 11 on a vehicle 12.
  • a paid parking space 13 in all geographic areas client of the system, it suffices to fulfill its parking tax to dial a given number free, from any telephone 14 (Payphone, mobile or landline).
  • This free server access number telephone time stamp 15 is translated so specific by the 16 subscriber switches attached to the municipality so that access is made on the parking meter server of this municipality.
  • the same access number connects it to the telephone server parking meter of the municipality concerned by the parking and not the municipality of origin of subscription to the service.
  • a voice server After dialing this number, which for reasons for ease of use can be a number short, a voice server asks him to authenticate (encrypted identifier of the barcode) and compose its secret code, then asks him for the supposed end time after having indicated the price in force in the geographic area concerned. Once that the user has validated his order, the direct debit can be operated on his bank account 17.
  • the user can program another time of end of parking, always by accessing the server voice dialing the free number.
  • the user may subsequently request by post a certification of his payment.
  • the identifier appears in the form of a coupon 20 in two parts: on the one hand a sticker 21, including a barcode, to affix on the windshield of his vehicle or one of its vehicles, on the other hand a secret code 22 to be scratched.
  • Sticker 21 can be a sticker self-adhesive, or be a sticker that can be inserted into a transparent pocket attached to the windshield of a vehicle.
  • This sticker can be associated with a vehicle or driver. In the latter case it can be used for multiple vehicles, which is possible using a sticker insertable in several pockets.
  • the agents responsible for verifying the proper payment of taxes parking lot have a mobile terminal 31 coupled to an optical drive 32, which allows them to read the barcode 11 applied to the vehicle windshield 12. This reading is transmitted by the mobile terminal 31 to the parking meter server 15 which checks the acknowledgment of the parking tax for the identifier concerned.
  • a signal for example sound or light, emitted by the mobile notifies the officer in charge of verification in the event of invalid parking.
  • the parking meter server 15 has sufficient capacity to establish a dialogue with user 10 in order to receive the identifier and the secret code of it, to take into account a possible credit corresponding to this identifier to provide to user 10 the hourly tax amount parking, guide user 10 so that can enter a parking end time consistent, calculate the amount to be debited based of the possible credit, to indicate the amount to user 10, and send the debit order on the bank account corresponding to the identifier.
  • This server must also be able to communicate with mobile terminals 31 agents responsible for verification in order to receive the identifiers read by optical reading transmitted to it and control the credit associated with an identifier before returning a positive or negative acknowledgment to the terminal of a said agent.
  • the terminal 31 can be made up of a telephone mobile coupled to an optical barcode reader 32.
  • a working mobile phone under the GSM standard, fitted on one side with a optical receiver.
  • the telephone server access number agents' parking meter can be dialed automatically.
  • the agent can then point the reader optical on the barcode of a vehicle being control.
  • the information collected (identifier) is transmitted by the mobile phone to the server telephone parking meter and verification device expects a positive acknowledgment from the server, or negative.
  • the server checks the end time of parking corresponding to this identifier before send a negative acknowledgment in case of no validity. In case of negative acknowledgment the verification device beeps or luminous.
  • This server can be installed in the premises of the municipality managing the parking taxes.
  • Public network switches (fixed and mobile) allow you to translate the access code to server (four-digit number type 3609 identical throughout the country) in server number actually present on their coverage area the Charging of calls to the server is left to the choice of the operator in accordance with the regulatory framework.
  • the invention is all the more advantageous that the user is not charged when calling the server.
  • the verifier has a verification device that can read bar codes and establish communication with the server timestamp.
  • This device consists of the coupling of a barcode reader and GSM terminal.
  • the invention is intended for the general public and must benefit from a very wide distribution method (tobacconists, telecom shops, municipality, supermarkets, ..) and very simple (supply of a bank account statement (RIB) and proof of residence against supply of the usable coupon immediately because the direct debit orders issued by the real-time server are processed a posteriori, so after recording the driver's contact details).
  • a very wide distribution method tobacconists, telecom shops, municipality, supermarkets, ..
  • RAB bank account statement
  • the distributor gives him the coupon and self-adhesive pockets. The user scratches his secret code and affix the barcode part of the coupon in a pocket on his windshield. The distributor transmits the file (RIB, proof, form) to the telecommunications operator responsible for to save the subscription data in all parking ticket servers that he installed.
  • the server issues an order direct debit (ticket including the date and time of parking order, date and time requested, the amount of tax to be levied and the relevant identifier), for each call having resulted in parking taxes to be levied.
  • the direct debit tickets can also be used supporting documents to be sent to the user on his request.
  • the subscribed user can park on all parking spaces managed by a municipality using the invention, i.e. parking spaces along the streets or in free parking areas intended for the payment of taxes.
  • the user of a vehicle equipped with a vingette (even if he is not the subscribed user for little he knows the secret code) can adjust his parking taxes by phone (mobile, Payphone, landline phone). It can add time in the same way (the server keeps then count the remaining credit to establish the new amount to be paid).
  • the server decreased the credit of each parked vehicle whose regulations of the parking tax was made by the invention (depending on the rate per minute). Any action is not taken when the remaining credit is returned to zero.
  • the terminal When taking a line on the GSM terminal, if agent does not dial in three seconds, the terminal connects logically permanent with the server. As soon as a barcode is read, the data packet corresponding to the identifier is sent to the server which then consults its database data and returns an audible alert if the time of end of parking is exceeded for the vehicle control.
  • each step being composed of a user action, of a processing and of a response from the server by a voice announcement (if the user hangs up before validation, the operation does not issue a debit order).
  • User action Server access (3609) Processing in the server Translation of the number Connection with the server of the municipality concerned Server response Authentication request
  • User action Authentication (identifier + secret code) Processing in the server Access to the database to load the table corresponding to the identifier provided.
