DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a dedicated gate together with a vehicle in a known toll road automatic toll collection system (Electronic Toll Collection System). As shown in this figure, when a vehicle 10 in which an ETC card 12 is inserted into a card reader 14 passes through a dedicated gate having a roadside antenna 22, a roadside processing system connected to the vehicle 10 and the roadside antenna 22 is used. Wireless communication is performed between the two.

Such a dedicated gate is provided at the toll gate of the highway, and charging information for the vehicle is created based on the information at the highway entrance and the information at the highway exit, and the bank automatically calculates the amount. Be withdrawn.

In one embodiment of the present invention, such a roadside processing system is provided not only at toll road toll booths but also at facilities near the road to which to pay the toll. For example, a roadside processing system is installed in a service area of a highway or a so-called "road station" of a general road.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a vehicle card processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the roadside processing system arranged as described above. The vehicle 10 is equipped with a card reader 14 and a radio 16 for reading the vehicle card 12.

The vehicle card 12 is an IC for storing information 12a as a toll road automatic toll collection system card and information 12b as a credit card.
Composed as a card. It may be configured as a magnetic card.

The information 12a as the toll road automatic toll collection system card includes at least personal identification information. In addition, the information 12b as a credit card is
There may be a plurality, each including at least personal identification information. The vehicle card 12 may also include information indicating which information can be treated as valid.

The information stored in the vehicle card 12 is read by the card reader 14 and then transmitted via the radio 16.

Then, the transmitted information is received by the roadside processing system 20. Further, the roadside processing system 20 transmits the information to the related settlement system 30.

The payment system 30 receives the transmitted information and, as in the case of the ETC system card or the credit card, makes a payment such as automatic withdrawal of the charge from the related bank account.

Thus, the service area of the expressway,
At the so-called “roadside station” on a general road, there is an effect that payment can be made without using cash, and shopping can be performed without causing congestion.

FIG. 3 shows a further vehicle card 112 according to the present invention. This vehicle card 112 is information 11 as a card for a toll road automatic toll collection system.
It is configured as an IC card that stores 2a and information 112b as a driver's license. It may be configured as a magnetic card.

FIG. 4 shows a vehicle card 11 shown in FIG.
It is a figure which shows the structure of the card processing apparatus for vehicles which concerns on other embodiment of this invention using 2.

The vehicle 110 shown in FIG. 4 is a patrol car. A card reader 114 for reading the vehicle card 112 shown in FIG. 3 is mounted on the vehicle 110 as an in-vehicle device.

The card reader 114 is
The driver license identification information included in the vehicle card is read as information related to the driver license. The read driver's license identification information is transmitted from the wireless device 116 mounted on the vehicle 110 as an in-vehicle device.

The driving license identification information transmitted from the wireless device 116 is received by a traffic violation management system installed in a predetermined police center 120 and examining traffic violation data related to the driving license identification information.

Then, the traffic violation data, which is the result of the investigation by the traffic violation management system in the police center 120, is returned to the vehicle 110. In the vehicle 110, the traffic violation data can be grasped using the display device 118.

Thus, in the event of a traffic violation, by using the vehicle card integrated with the driver's license, the patrol car will contact the police station at the time of a traffic violation, and exchange data such as traffic history and points. You can check the status of violations on the spot.

Further, in this embodiment, the police center 12
The traffic violation management system in 0 informs the card company 140 of traffic violation fine information as traffic violation data, whereby the fine is automatically withdrawn.

As described above, by further including the system for receiving the information about the fine of the traffic violation as the traffic violation data from the traffic violation management system and automatically deducting the fine based on the information, the patrol car can detect the traffic violation. In addition to contacting the police station and exchanging traffic violation data, it will be possible for the police station to automatically deduct fines through the card company.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle card 112 shown in FIG. 3 is configured to store traffic violation data. Then, a vehicle card processing device is configured by providing a device for reading traffic violation data from the vehicle card and a device for displaying the read traffic violation data in the vehicle.

According to such a vehicle card processing device, it is possible to display the traffic violation condition such as the violation score on the display device at any time in the own vehicle so as to check the traffic violation condition. In that case, incentives for observing traffic rules can be given, which contributes to traffic safety.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various embodiments can be adopted.

[0036]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It becomes possible to perform various processes such as payment related to vehicle driving by using only one vehicle card, and the convenience of the driver and those involved in driving management can be improved.
