TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a parking offender identification system, a processing method thereof, and a program.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in controlling a parking violation, a police officer or the like puts a mark on a tire of a parked car and checks the mark again after a predetermined time has elapsed. If there is no change in the mark position after a lapse of a certain time, the director determines that the vehicle is not moved and determines that the unmoved vehicle is a violating vehicle. In this case, the director must wait a certain period of time or return to the same place after a certain period of time to check the mark. For this reason, a certain period of time is required from when a parked car is discovered to when it is regarded as a violating vehicle. In particular, since parking violation vehicles are conspicuous in central Tokyo, this conventional control method requires a lot of manpower, is inefficient, and has a limited number of control cases.
[0003]
In recent years, IC chips have become widespread and can be embedded in credit cards and the like at low cost. For this reason, it has become applicable to driver's licenses. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a device that stores a history of a speeding violation, a parking violation, and the like in an IC card as a driver's license. For example, a card reader mounted on a vehicle counts radio waves for parking violation prevention from a transmitter installed outside the vehicle during parking on the road, and stores the count data.
[0004]
The count number is incremented each time the specified time is exceeded. As a result, a parking violation is determined, and the count value is displayed on the display screen of the card reader mounted on a vehicle together with the limit value as data indicating the degree of the violation. As a result, the driver can know the parking violation and its degree. If the count of parking violations or speed violations exceeds the set number, the engine start switch does not operate even if the IC card is inserted into the reader.
[0005]
On the other hand, the enforcement officer carries a mobile card reader for enforcement and receives an IC card from a driver and inserts the IC card into the reader at the time of enforcement. The reading device can display violation data and the like stored in the IC card on a display screen. The enforcement officer can easily confirm the details of the violation and can promptly take appropriate warnings and fines. The conventional system described above can make it easier for the enforcement officer to confirm the details of the violation. However, since the enforcement officer needs to receive the IC card from the driver, it cannot effectively control the parking violation of the car parked on the road.
[0006]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-4-237398 [0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional method of controlling a parking offender does not efficiently identify a parking offending vehicle. A more labor-intensive and costly policing method reduces the effectiveness of parking policing. On the other hand, the above-mentioned violation prevention device using an IC card requires the driver's IC card to confirm the violation by the enforcement officer, so that the enforcement of the violation enforcement by the enforcement officer of the car parked on the road is substantially prevented. It can't be more efficient. The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a parking offender identification system capable of easily identifying a parking offender and a processing method thereof.

[0017]
As shown in FIG. 1, the parking offender identification system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an in-vehicle device mounted on an automobile (vehicle) 11 and a mobile terminal 12 that receives information from the in-vehicle device. The car 11 is a vehicle subject to parking violation control. The automobile 11 includes a driver's license reading device 22, a drive control device 23, and a vehicle-mounted communication device 24. The vehicle 11 is configured not to move unless the driver's license 21 embedded with the IC chip is inserted into the driver's license reader 22. Accordingly, the driver needs to always insert the driver's license 21 into the driver's license reader 22 before driving.
[0018]
On the driver's license 21, a name, current address, date of birth, and the like are printed together with a photograph of the driver's face. Further, the driver's license 21 is an IC chip embedded driver's license in which an IC chip is embedded. The IC chip includes a control circuit, a memory, and the like. The memory of the IC chip stores at least driver information that can specify an individual such as a driver's license number, a name and an address. In addition, information such as the driver's traffic violation / accident history, license validity period, breakdown / repair, etc. can be stored in the IC chip.
[0019]
The driver's license reading device 22 includes a calculation / control unit, a memory, a reading device, and an I / O (Input / Output) unit. The arithmetic and control unit can control each module and execute necessary data processing. The memory stores necessary data. The reader reads information stored in the IC chip of the driver's license 21 inserted in the driver's license reader 22. The I / O unit functions as an interface for data communication with another vehicle-mounted device. The information read from the IC chip of the driver's license 21 by the reading device is stored in the memory and transmitted to another device by the I / O unit. The driver's license reader 22 may have a function of writing information on the IC chip in addition to a function of reading information from the IC chip of the driver's license 21.
[0020]
The drive control device 23 can monitor the running state of the vehicle 11 and acquire information on the running state, control the running of the vehicle, or perform data communication with another vehicle-mounted device. The drive control device 23 includes a memory for storing necessary information, an I / O unit for performing data communication with other devices, or an arithmetic and control unit for performing control and necessary data processing. .

Also, the running state of the car 11 is monitored, and it is detected that the car 11 is stopped. The drive control device 23 has a clock function, and can determine the date and time when the vehicle 11 stopped.
[0021]
The in-vehicle communication device 24 performs data communication with a device outside the vehicle, and preferably performs data communication by a non-contact communication method such as infrared rays or radio waves. The in-vehicle communication device 24 acquires necessary information from the driver's license reading device 22 and the drive control device 23 via the I / O unit, and stores the information in a memory. The information stored in the memory is transmitted to the mobile terminal 12 via the I / O unit including the wireless communication module according to a request from the mobile terminal 12. Pre-communication processing such as mutual authentication in communication with the mobile terminal 12 or control of the entire apparatus is executed by the arithmetic and control unit.
[0022]
The mobile terminal 12 is a mobile terminal carried by a police officer for controlling parking violations. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 12 includes an external communication device 25 and a display device 26. The external communication device 25 receives necessary information from the in-vehicle communication device 24 via the I / O unit and stores the information in a memory. The information stored in the memory is displayed on the display device 26 according to the operation of the director. Control of the entire apparatus or necessary data processing is executed by an arithmetic and control unit. In addition, it is also possible to mount an in-vehicle device having the same function as a portable terminal on a vehicle of a police officer.
[0023]
Subsequently, the processing of the parking offender identification system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating processing of the parking offender identification system 1. First, when driving the automobile 11, the driver inserts the driver's license 21 into the driver's license reader 22. The driver's license reader 22 reads driver information from the IC chip of the driver's license 21. When the necessary information can be obtained, the driver's license reading device 22 sends the information to the in-vehicle communication device 24 (S101).
[0024]
At the same time, the driver's license reading device 22 transmits the driving permission of the vehicle 11 to the drive control device 23 (S102). In response, the drive control device 23 enables the vehicle 11 to run. During the operation of the car 11, the drive control device 23 monitors the running state of the car 11. When the vehicle 11 has stopped, the drive control device 23 sends the stop date and time, which is the time at which the vehicle 11 started stopping, to the vehicle-mounted communication device 24 (S103). The in-vehicle communication device 24 holds the stop date and time together with the driver information.
[0025]
When the enforcement officer regulates the automobile 11, a transmission instruction for instructing transmission of the driver information stored in the on-vehicle communication device 24 and the stop date and time is transmitted from the enforcement portable terminal 12 to the on-vehicle communication device 24. (S104). The in-vehicle communication device 24 transmits the driver information and the stop date and time to the mobile terminal 12 in response to the transmission instruction (S105). The mobile terminal 12 acquires the driver information and the stop date and time via the external communication device 25, and the information sent to the display device 26 (S106) is displayed on the display device 26.
[0026]
Next, with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 7, processing of each device constituting the parking offender identification system 1 according to the present invention will be described. The flowchart of FIG. 3 shows the processing (FIG. 2: S101, S102) of the driver's license reading device 22. The driver's license reading device 22 detects that the driver's license 21 embedded with the IC chip is inserted through the license entrance (S111). When the insertion of the driver's license 21 is detected, the driver's license reader 22 acquires the information stored in the IC chip of the driver's license 21. The acquired information is verified to determine whether necessary driver information has been acquired (S112).
[0027]
If the appropriate driver information cannot be obtained, the process ends as traveling is disabled. As a result, the driver cannot start the car 11. On the other hand, when the appropriate driver information is acquired, the driver's license reading device 22 transmits the acquired driver information to the on-vehicle communication device 24 (S113). Further, the driver's license reading device 22 generates a travel permission signal for permitting the vehicle 11 to travel, and transmits the signal to the drive control device 23 (S114).
[0028]
The processing of the drive control device 23 (FIG. 2: S102, S103) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, when the driver performs a start operation of the automobile 11, the drive control device 23 determines that the driving permit is acquired from the driving license reading device 22. If the travel permission has not been obtained, the drive control device 23 controls the vehicle not to travel, such as prohibiting the start of the engine. If the travel permission has been obtained, the drive control device 23 determines that travel is possible, and permits the driver to perform a start operation or travel of the automobile 11 (S121). During the operation of the vehicle 11, the drive control device 23 constantly monitors the traveling state of the vehicle 11 (S123). When detecting that the car 11 has changed from the running state to the stopped state (S124), the drive control unit 23 determines and acquires the stop date and time using the clock function (S125), and transmits it to the on-vehicle communication device 24. (S126).
[0029]
The flowchart of FIG. 5 shows the processing (FIG. 2: S103, S105) of the vehicle-mounted communication device 24. As shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle-mounted communication device 24 acquires driver information from the driver's license reading device 22 (S131). The acquired driver information 241 is registered in a table stored in the memory as shown in FIG. 6 (S132). Further, upon acquiring the stop date and time from the drive control device 23 (S133), the in-vehicle communication device 24 registers the acquired stop date and time 242 in the table in association with the driver information 241 (S134).
[0030]
The driver information 241 and the stop date / time 242 are rewritten to new data when the automobile 11 starts running. Past data can be stored in a table for a certain period as needed. For example, by maintaining an update history of each data in the table, required data can be identified. When receiving the access from the external device, the in-vehicle communication device 24 verifies that the access is appropriate from the mobile terminal 12. When an appropriate transmission instruction indicating an information transmission instruction is received from the mobile terminal 12 (S135), the driver information 241 and the stop date / time 242 registered in the table are transmitted to the mobile terminal 12 (S136).
[0031]
Next, a process performed by the mobile terminal 12 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing of the portable terminal 12 (FIG. 2: S104, S105, S106). When the control of the parking violation is performed, the external communication device 25 mounted on the mobile terminal 12 transmits a transmission instruction to the on-vehicle communication device 24 in accordance with the operation of the control officer (S141). In response to the transmission instruction, the in-vehicle communication device 24 transmits the driver information 241 and the stop date / time 242 to the external communication device 25. If no response is received within a certain period of time, the external communication device 25 repeats transmission of the transmission instruction. If there is no response to the transmission more than the predetermined number of times, the communication ends. Upon receiving the driver information 241 and the stop date / time 242 (S142), the external communication device 25 registers them in a table in the memory (S143). The display device 26 acquires the registered driver information 241 and the stop date / time 242, and displays them on the screen (S144).
[0032]
As described above, the on-vehicle communication device 24 of the automobile 11 holds the driver information 241 obtained by the driver's license reading device 22 and the stop date / time 242 obtained by the drive control device 23. Using the mobile terminal 12, the enforcement officer can obtain the driver information 241 and the stop date / time 242 from the on-vehicle communication device 24. Thereby, the enforcement officer can easily determine the automobile 11 that has been stopped for a long time, and can specify the driver of the automobile 11. The police officer can check the parking time when he finds a parked car without waiting for a certain time to elapse and without having to return to the same place after a certain time. In addition, it is possible to improve the efficiency of parking violation control operations.
[0033]
Further, the driver needs to insert the driver's license 21 embedded with an IC chip into the driver's license reader 22 in order to drive the automobile 11, so that the driver who has been driving when the vehicle has stopped is driven. User information 241 is stored in the in-vehicle communication device 24. Thereby, the driver information 241 of the driver at the time of stopping can be read from outside the vehicle through the on-vehicle communication device 24, and not only the offending vehicle but also the offender can be accurately specified.
[0034]
In the present embodiment, the controller is configured to be able to know the stop date and time, but may be configured so that the controller can recognize the stop time. For example, when receiving the transmission instruction from the external communication device 25, the on-vehicle communication device 24 transfers the transmission instruction to the drive control device 23. The drive control device 23 having a clock function calculates a stop time based on the time at which the instruction was received and the stored stop date and time, and transmits the stop time to the on-vehicle communication device 24. The in-vehicle communication device 24 transmits the stopping time together with the driver information to the external communication device 25.
[0035]
In the present embodiment, the drive control device 23 has a clock function, but the in-vehicle communication device 24 may have a clock function and generate a stop date and time or a stop time. For example, the drive control device 23 transmits a signal indicating that the vehicle has stopped to the vehicle-mounted communication device 24 in response to the stop of the vehicle. The in-vehicle communication device 24 determines and holds the stop date and time according to the signal received from the in-vehicle communication device 24. The in-vehicle communication device 24 can transmit the stop date and time and the driver information to the out-of-vehicle communication device 25 in response to the transmission instruction from the out-of-vehicle communication device 25. The in-vehicle communication device 24 may be configured to calculate the stop time from the stop date and time and the reception date and time of the transmission instruction from the external communication device 25.
[0036]
Embodiment 2 FIG.
Another configuration example of the parking offender identification system according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating another configuration example of the parking offender identification system. As shown in FIG. 8, a parking offender identification system 81 according to the present embodiment is obtained by replacing the on-vehicle communication device 24 in FIG. The display device 27 is installed at a location that can be visually recognized from outside the automobile 11. For example, between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat of the car 11, the display surface is installed so as to face the windshield. In the present embodiment, the display device 27 is used in place of the in-vehicle communication device 24. However, other outputs such as a voice output device for outputting the driver and the stop date and time so that the user can recognize the outside of the vehicle. It is possible to use the device.
[0037]
The display device 27 illustrated in FIG. 8 receives the driver information from the driver's license reading device 22 and the stop date and time from the drive control device 23. The display device 27 processes the received driver information and the stop date and time into character information. The display device 27 displays the character information at a location that can be visually recognized from outside the vehicle 11. This allows the police officer to check the driver information and the stop date and time outside the vehicle 11 without using a special device such as the portable terminal 12, thereby easily controlling the parking offender. Can be.
[0038]
The display device 27 may display the driver information itself, or may display other information that can identify the driver. For example, the driver's license reading device 22 may generate a driver ID corresponding to the driver's license number, and display the driver ID on the display device 27. In this case, the enforcement officer determines a driver from the driver ID and specifies a parking offender. As a result, leakage of the personal information of the driver can be prevented. Furthermore, the driver information is displayed as character information, but may be displayed as other graphic information.
[0039]
The display device 27 can be configured to display the driver information and the stop date and time in response to a request from an external device owned by the director. As a result, leakage of information to a third party can be prevented. As in the first embodiment, the present embodiment may be configured so that the stop time is displayed. That is, the display device 27 has a clock function, calculates the stop time from the stop date and time and the current date and time acquired from the drive device control device 23, and displays the stop time. Thereby, the efficiency of the control operation can be improved.
