Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle-mounted device used in an ETC (registered trademark) system.

  In Patent Document 1, the expiration date of an IC card is notified at a predetermined notification timing set to be a timing before communication with an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection, automatic toll collection) roadside device. Examples of the predetermined notification timing include a time when it is detected that a card has been removed, and a time when an operation leading to engine stop, such as an ignition switch-off operation, is detected. When it is detected that it is the predetermined notification timing, the expiration date is read from the IC card, and the expiration date is notified.

JP 2006-285606 A

  A new IC card should have arrived at home etc. around the 20th of the expiration month. After the new IC card arrives, it is desired to replace the card inserted into the vehicle-mounted device with a new IC card before the expiration date of the old IC card elapses.

  However, even if the expiration date is notified at the above-mentioned predetermined timing, the driver does not have to do anything except when replacing with a new IC card. End up.

  Therefore, even after the new IC card arrives at home, when the expiration date is notified, the driver may not recognize the necessity of replacing with a new IC card. As a result, there is a fear that the IC card may be forgotten to be replaced with a new IC card before the expiration date.

  The present disclosure has been made based on this circumstance, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide an in-vehicle device that can suppress forgetting to replace an expired IC card with a new IC card. There is.

  The above object is achieved by a combination of the features described in the independent claims, and the subclaims define further advantageous embodiments. Reference numerals in parentheses described in the claims indicate a correspondence relationship with specific means described in the embodiments described later as one aspect, and do not limit the disclosed technical scope.

One disclosure for achieving the above objective is:
An information reading unit (70) for reading information relating to an expiration date stored in the IC card, into which the IC card (2) for the automatic fee collection system is inserted;
A time limit determination unit (82) for determining whether or not the current date and time is after a preset notification reference date in the second half of the expiration date indicated by the information regarding the expiration date;
Valid based on the fact that the current date / time is determined to be after the notification reference date by the time limit judgment unit at the time of termination, which is at least one of when the IC card is removed and when the power is turned off without being removed. It is a vehicle-mounted device provided with a notification control unit (83) that outputs a deadline determination notification indicating the relationship between the deadline and the current date and time from the notification unit.

  This vehicle-mounted device outputs a deadline determination notification from the notification unit. Since the expiration date notification indicates the relationship between the expiration date and the current date and time, the expiration date has passed soon or the expiration date has passed, rather than the expiration date being notified. It is easy to recognize that. Therefore, it is possible to suppress forgetting to replace the IC card whose expiration date has passed with a new IC card.

  Furthermore, the timing for outputting the expiration date determination notification from the notification unit is after a preset notification reference date in the latter half of the expiration date month. If it is after this notification reference date, a new IC card usually arrives. In addition, the timing for outputting the time limit judgment notification from the notification unit is at least one of when the IC card is removed and when the power is turned off without removing the IC card. In many cases, this timing is a timing at which a vehicle occupant gets off the vehicle. If the vehicle is at home, the person who hears the notification can actually replace it with a new IC card while remembering that the IC card must be replaced. In this respect as well, it is possible to suppress forgetting to replace an IC card whose expiration date has passed with a new IC card.

2 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the vehicle-mounted device 1. FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the process regarding the expiration date notification of the ETC card | curd 2 which the control part 80 performs. It is a figure explaining the process performed by S2, S4, and S6 of FIG.

<Embodiment>
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the structure of the onboard equipment 1 of embodiment is shown. The vehicle-mounted device 1 is fixed in the vehicle. The fixed position is a storage unit prepared for the vehicle-mounted device 1 in advance. In addition, the vehicle-mounted device 1 may be fixed at an arbitrary position in the vehicle by an installation worker such as the upper surface of the dashboard.

  The vehicle-mounted device 1 reads information necessary for fee settlement from the ETC card 2. Then, information necessary for toll collection including the read information is transmitted / received to / from a roadside device provided in an ETC gate or the like.

  The ETC card 2 is an IC card, and information necessary for fee settlement is recorded in a built-in IC. Information necessary for the payment is a card number, information on an expiration date, and the like. The information regarding the expiration date is specifically the expiration month of the ETC card 2.

[Electrical configuration of the vehicle-mounted device 1]
As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle-mounted device 1 includes a power supply unit 10, a road-to-vehicle communication unit 20, a speaker 30, a display unit 40, an operation unit 50, a GPS reception unit 60, an information reading unit 70, and a control unit 80. .

  The power supply unit 10 is connected to the in-vehicle battery 3. The power supply unit 10 turns on the power of the vehicle-mounted device 1 when the key switch of the vehicle is turned on. In a power-on state, the power supply unit 10 supplies power supplied from the vehicle-mounted battery 3 to various elements that are provided in the vehicle-mounted device 1 and that are operated by electricity. And the power supply part 10 will turn off the power supply of the onboard equipment 1, if the key switch of a vehicle turns off.

  The road-vehicle communication unit 20 includes an antenna 21. The road-to-vehicle communication unit 20 performs road-to-vehicle communication with a road device provided in an ETC gate or the like via the antenna 21 to transmit / receive information necessary for toll collection. In addition, the road-to-vehicle communication unit 20 can receive traffic information by communicating with roadside wireless devices installed at various points on the road.

  The speaker 30 is a notification unit and outputs various voice messages and sounds other than voice. Examples of the message include that the ETC card 2 has been inserted and the card expiration date.

  The display unit 40 is configured to include one or several (for example, two) LEDs, and indicates the state of the vehicle-mounted device 1 by turning on, turning off, and blinking the LEDs.

  The operation unit 50 includes several switches (for example, three switches). For example, there are three switches: a volume switch, a usage history confirmation switch, and a card eject switch.

  The GPS receiving unit 60 receives a navigation signal transmitted from a navigation satellite provided in a GPS (Global Positioning System) which is one of satellite navigation systems, and sequentially calculates a current position based on the received navigation signal. Then, the calculated current position is output to the control unit 80. In addition, the current date and time included in the navigation signal is also output to the control unit 80.

  The information reading unit 70 is a portion into which the ETC card 2 is inserted, and detects whether or not the ETC card 2 is inserted. When it is detected that the ETC card 2 is inserted, information necessary for fee settlement is read from the inserted ETC card 2. As described above, the information necessary for the fee settlement includes the expiration month of the ETC card 2. The information reading unit 70 outputs the detection result of whether or not the ETC card 2 is inserted and the information read from the ETC card 2 to the control unit 80.

  The control unit 80 is a computer that includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. When the CPU executes a program stored in a non-transitional and substantive recording medium such as a ROM while using the temporary storage function of the RAM, the control unit 80 includes a communication control unit 81, a time limit determination unit, and the like. 82, which functions as a notification control unit 83. When these functions are executed, a method corresponding to the program is executed.

[Processing executed by control unit 80]
The communication control unit 81 controls the road-to-vehicle communication unit 20 to cause the road-to-vehicle communication unit 20 to communicate with the roadside device or the roadside wireless communication device. When the road-to-vehicle communication unit 20 communicates with a road device installed at the ETC gate, the communication control unit 81 transmits and receives information necessary for toll collection.

  The expiration date determination unit 82 compares the expiration date read from the ETC card 2 by the information reading unit 70 with the current date and time acquired from the GPS reception unit 60. Then, it is determined whether or not the current date is after a preset notification reference date in the latter half of the expiration month. The notification reference date is set to an earlier date among the days when there is a high possibility that the new ETC card 2 has arrived. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the notification reference date is set to 20 days.

  The notification control unit 83 detects that the ETC card 2 is inserted based on the information provided from the information reading unit 70, the expiration date of the ETC card 2, the relationship between the expiration date and the current date and time. Various notifications, such as a deadline determination notification indicating, are output from the speaker 30.

  FIG. 2 shows processing related to the expiration date notification of the ETC card 2 executed by the control unit 80. The process shown in FIG. 2 is periodically executed while the power of the vehicle-mounted device 1 is on.

  In step (hereinafter, step is omitted) S1, it is determined whether or not the ETC card 2 is detected. Whether or not the ETC card 2 is detected is determined based on a signal from the information reading unit 70. The detection here means a case where the ETC card 2 can be detected normally. Therefore, it means not only that the ETC card 2 has been inserted but also that information can be read from the ETC card 2 in addition to that. The processing in the abnormal state in which it is detected that the ETC card 2 has been inserted but information cannot be read from the ETC card 2 is not within the range described in the present embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted. If the determination in S1 is NO, the determination in S1 is repeated, and if YES, the process proceeds to S2.

  In S2, a card detection process is executed. FIG. 3 shows the card detection process, the card removal process executed in S4, and the key switch-off process executed in S6 in tabular form. The card detection process in S2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the card detection process, the part where the notification condition is “card detection” in FIG. 3 is executed. As shown in FIG. 3, the card detection process is divided into three types: (A1) when GPS is not positioned, (A2) when GPS is positioned, and (A3) when GPS is positioned. Positioning the GPS means a state in which the GPS receiving unit 60 can calculate the current position. In a state where the current position cannot be calculated, the control unit 80 cannot acquire the current date and time from the GPS receiving unit 60.

  The GPS receiver 60 cannot calculate the current position immediately after the vehicle-mounted device 1 is turned on. It may take several seconds or more before the current position can be calculated. In contrast, if the vehicle-mounted device 1 is turned on while the ETC card 2 is still inserted in the information reading unit 70, it can be immediately detected that the ETC card 2 is inserted. Therefore, a state may occur in which the ETC card 2 is detected but the GPS is not measured.

  When the ETC card 2 is detected but the GPS is not positioned, the current date and time cannot be compared with the card expiration month. However, the expiration date of the ETC card 2 can be acquired. Therefore, when ETC card 2 is detected, but (A1) GPS is not positioned, after the sound “Pawn”, “ETC card has been inserted. “Month” is output from the speaker 30.

  After the process (A1), GPS can usually be measured after a while. At that time, (A2) The processing when positioning the GPS is executed. The process (A2) is divided into three types based on the comparison result between the current date and time and the expiration month. If the current date is before the 20th day of the expiration month, no processing is executed.

  On the other hand, if the current date / time is from the 20th of the expiration month to the end of the expiration month, or if the current date / time has passed the expiration month, a expiration date determination notification indicating the relationship between the expiration date and the current date / time is sent. Output from the speaker 30.

  Specifically, if the current date and time is between the 20th of the expiry month and the end of the expiry month, after the sound of "Pawn", the end of this month will be "The expiration date of the ETC card is the end of this month." A message is output from the speaker 30. This message is a deadline determination notification, and particularly corresponds to a notification at the end of the month. If the current date / time has passed the expiration month, an expiration message “ETC card has expired” is output from the speaker 30 after a beeping sound. The expiration date message is an expiration date determination notification, and particularly corresponds to an expiration date notification.

  Furthermore, after the expiration date message is output from the speaker 30, the “beep” sound continues until the ETC card 2 is removed or the vehicle-mounted device 1 is turned off by turning off the vehicle key switch. Output from the speaker 30. This “beep” sound functions as a sound that means that the expiration date has passed by being output following the expiration message.

  When the ETC card 2 is detected, (A3) the processing when positioning the GPS is also divided into three types of processing based on the comparison result between the current date and the expiration date. If the current date and time is before the 20th of the expiration month, the same sound and message as (A1) are output from the speaker 30. When the process (A3) is executed, since the process (A1) is not executed, the same sound and message as (A1) are output from the speaker 30 to notify the passenger that the ETC card 2 has been detected. To make it happen.

  The speaker 30 outputs the same sound and message as in (A2) when the current date and time is from the 20th day of the expiration month to the last day of the expiration month and when the current date and time has passed the expiration month. In this case, the message notified in the case of (A1) is omitted.

  When S2 is executed, S3 and subsequent steps are executed. The processes after S3 are processes when the vehicle-mounted device 1 finishes the operation in the card insertion state. The operation in the card insertion state is terminated in two cases: when the ETC card 2 is removed, and when the vehicle-mounted device 1 is turned off while the ETC card 2 is inserted.

  Therefore, in S3, it is determined whether or not the ETC card 2 has been removed. The ETC card 2 inserted into the information reading unit 70 can be removed by operating the eject switch of the operation unit 50. If judgment of S3 is YES, it will progress to S4.

  In S4, a card removal process is executed. This card removal process will also be described with reference to FIG. In the card removal process, the part where the notification condition is “card removal” in FIG. 3 is executed. As shown in FIG. 3, the card removal processing is divided into two types: (B1) when GPS is not being measured and (B2) GPS is being measured. In the case of (B1), no sound or message is output from the speaker 30.

  The process (B2) is divided into three types of processes based on the latest determination result obtained by determining the relationship between the current date and the expiration date. Specifically, the determination of the relationship between the current date and the expiration date is based on whether the current date is before the notification reference date, the expiration date is between the 20th and the end of the month. This is to determine whether the expiration month has passed.

  If it is determined at the time of card detection that the current date / time has passed the expiration month, the current date / time is acquired again, and no re-determination is performed. The determination result at the time of card detection is used as the latest determination result. . This is because the current date has passed the expiration month even without re-determination.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the current date / time is before the notification reference date or the expiration date is between the 20th and the end of the month when the card is detected, the current date / time is acquired again. Re-judge. This is because there is a possibility that a determination result different from that at the time of card detection may be obtained due to the elapse of time since the card detection. By performing this re-determination, it is possible to prevent notification of incorrect information.

  If the current date is before the 20th day of the expiration month, no processing is executed. If the current date and time is between the 20th day of the expiration month and the last day of the expiration month, the same sound and message as in (A2) and (A3) are output from the speaker 30. If the current date / time has passed the expiration month, the same expiration date message “ETC card has expired” that was output when the card was detected is output from the speaker 30.

  If judgment of S3 is NO, it will progress to S5. In S5, it is determined whether or not the key switch is turned off. If this determination is NO, the process returns to S3. On the other hand, if judgment of S5 is YES, it will progress to S6.

  In S6, a key switch off process is executed. If the determination in S3 is YES, that is, if the key switch is turned off while the ETC card 2 is removed, nothing is notified.

  The key switch-off process will also be described with reference to FIG. In the key switch-off process, the part where the notification condition is “vehicle key switch off” in FIG. 3 is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the key switch-off process is divided into two types: (C1) when GPS is not being measured and (C2) GPS is being measured. In addition, (C1) and (C2) are further divided into a card removal forgetting warning on, a card removal forgetting warning off, and a card not inserted. However, in the case of (C1), the notification is made only when the card removal forgetting warning is on, and when the card removal forgetting warning is off and the card is not inserted, no notification is given. In (C1), if the warning about forgetting to remove a card is on, a message “card still remains” is output from the speaker 30 after a beeping sound.

  The card removal forget warning is a process for notifying that when the vehicle key switch is turned off and the ETC card 2 is inserted in the vehicle-mounted device 1. The card removal forgetting warning can be switched on and off by the user operating the operation unit 50.

  In the case of (C2), when the forgotten card warning is ON and the forgotten card warning is OFF, the processing is based on the latest judgment result that judges the relationship between the current date and the expiration date. Divide into types of processing. If it is determined that the current date / time has passed the expiration month when the card is detected, the relationship between the current date / time and the expiration month is not re-determined. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current date / time is before the notification reference date or the expiration date is between the 20th and the end of the month when the card is detected, the current date / time is acquired again. Re-judge. This point is the same as the process in the case of (B2).

  In the case of (C2), three types of processing when the card removal forgetting warning is on will be described. If the current date and time is before the 20th of the expiration month, the same sound and message as in (C1) are output from the speaker 30. If the current date and time is from the 20th day of the expiration month to the last day of the expiration month, the same sound and message as in (A2), (A3), and (B2) are output from the speaker 30. If the current date has passed the expiration month, the same sound and message as in (B2) are output from the speaker 30. Therefore, in the case of (C2), if the current date and time is from the 20th of the expiration month to the end of the expiration month, and if the current date and time has passed the expiration month, forgetting to remove the card Even if the warning is on, it is not directly notified that the ETC card 2 remains. Instead, the user is notified that the expiration date is the end of this month or that the expiration date has expired.

  If a message at the end of the month or an expired message is notified, it is likely that the occupant can often recognize that the ETC card 2 remains without directly notifying that the ETC card 2 remains. . Therefore, it is not directly notified that the card remains. As a result, in addition to the message at the end of the month or an expiration message, it is notified that the card remains, and it is possible to suppress annoying the occupant. It can be made to recognize more.

  Next, processing in the case of (C2) when the card removal forgetting warning is off will be described. If the current date is before the 20th day of the expiration month, nothing is notified. The processing when the current date and time is from the 20th of the expiration month to the end of the expiration month and when the current date and time has passed the expiration month is the same as when the card removal forgotten warning is on. . Therefore, in the case of (C2), even if the card removal forgotten warning is off, a message at the end of the month or an expired message is notified.

  When it is notified that the ETC card 2 remains every time the key switch is turned off, there are many users who feel bothersome, and many users turn off the card removal forget warning. However, in this embodiment, even if the card removal forgotten warning is turned off, a message at the end of the month or an expired message is notified. Thereby, it is possible to suppress forgetting to replace the ETC card 2 by turning off the card removal forget warning. In addition, if a new ETC card 2 is exchanged, a message at the end of the month and an expired message are not notified. Therefore, there is little possibility that the message is notified many times and annoying the passenger.

  In the case of (C2), if no card is inserted, no notification is given. In the processing described above, the time limit determining unit 82 executes each processing of S1, S3, and S5. Further, when executing the processes of S2, S4, and S6, the expiration date determining unit 82 also compares the current date and time with the expiration month. In the processes of S2, S4, and S6, the remaining processes are executed by the notification control unit 83.

[Summary of Embodiment]
The vehicle-mounted device 1 of the present embodiment outputs a time limit determination notification from the speaker 30. The expiration date notification is specifically a message at the end of the month or an expired message, and these messages may expire sooner than the notification of the expiration month, It is easy to recognize that it has passed.

  The time for notifying the expiration date determination notification is after the 20th day of the expiration date. If it is after the 20th of the expiration date, a new ETC card 2 has normally arrived. In addition, the timing for outputting the expiration date determination notification from the speaker 30 is when the ETC card 2 is removed and when the vehicle-mounted device 1 is turned off without being removed. In many cases, these timings are timings when a vehicle occupant gets off the vehicle. If the vehicle gets off at home, the person who has received the notification can actually exchange it for a new ETC card 2 while remembering that the ETC card 2 must be exchanged. From these things, the onboard equipment 1 of this embodiment can suppress forgetting to replace | exchange the ETC card 2 in which the expiration date passed for the new ETC card 2. FIG.

  Although the embodiment has been described above, the disclosed technology is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the following modifications are also included in the disclosed range, and further, within the scope not departing from the gist other than the following. Various changes can be made. In the following description, elements having the same reference numerals as those used so far are the same as the elements having the same reference numerals in the previous embodiments unless otherwise specified. Further, when only a part of the configuration is described, the above-described embodiment can be applied to the other parts of the configuration.

<Modification 1>
In the above-described embodiment, after the expiration date message is output, a “beep” sound is continuously output until the ETC card 2 is removed or the power is turned off. However, there is a possibility that the meaning of the sound may be forgotten only by continuously outputting the “beep” sound. Therefore, this sound may be interrupted periodically, and an expiration message may be output periodically.

<Modification 2>
In the above-described embodiment, when the expiration date of the ETC card 2 has expired, an expiration date message is output when the card is detected, and thereafter a “beep” sound is continuously output. When the card is removed and the key switch is turned off, the expiration date message is output again. However, the expiration message again may be omitted. In this case, a “beep” sound that continues until the card is removed and the key switch is turned off corresponds to the expiration notification. Note that Modification 2 may be combined with Modification 1.

<Modification 3>
The function of outputting a message at the end of the month, which is a notification at the end of the month, may be turned on / off by the user operating the operation unit 50. However, even if the function that outputs the notification at the end of the month is turned off, only the function that outputs the notification at the end of the month is turned off in the card detection process. It is preferable to keep the output function on.

  Even if a notification at the end of the month is output when a card is detected, there are not many cases where it can be replaced with a new ETC card 2. On the other hand, it can be often replaced with a new ETC card 2 when the card is removed and the power is off . Therefore, it is preferable to turn off only the function of outputting a notification at the end of the month in the card detection process.

<Modification 4>
In the card detection process, the function of outputting a message notifying the expiration date may be turned on / off by the user operating the operation unit 50. However, even if the function for outputting the message for notifying the expiration date is turned off, it is preferable to output the expiration judgment notification in the card removal process and the key switch-off process.

<Modification 5>
In the above-described embodiment, in the card detection time process executed in S2, (A1) When GPS is not positioned, the same sound and message are transmitted without comparing the expiration date of the ETC card 2 and the current date and time. It was output. This is because the current date and time cannot be obtained.

  However, the following processing may be performed by storing the card number of the ETC card 2 detected at the time of the previous activation and the fact that the expiration date notification was output at the previous power-off.

  That is, if the ETC card 2 detected this time is the same as the ETC card 2 detected at the previous activation, and if the expiration date message has been output last time, in the current card detection process (A1) In the processing, an expiration message may be output.

<Modification 6>
In the above-described embodiment, the GPS receiving unit 60 acquires the current date and time from the navigation signal, and the control unit 80 acquires the current date and time from the GPS receiving unit 60. Instead, when the in-vehicle device 1 is mounted on a vehicle and connected to an in-vehicle device that can provide the current date and time, for example, a navigation device, the in-vehicle device 1 may acquire the current date and time from the in-vehicle device. Good.

<Modification 7>
Further, when the vehicle-mounted device 1 is connected to a display device mounted on the vehicle, for example, a navigation device, the vehicle-mounted device 1 uses the display device as a notification unit and outputs a deadline determination notification from the display device. May be. Therefore, the deadline determination notification may be displayed. At this time, an expiration date determination notification by sound may be output together.

<Modification 8>
Instead of the speaker 30 provided in the vehicle-mounted device 1, a deadline determination notification may be output using a speaker provided in the vehicle.

<Modification 9>
In the above embodiment, the notification reference date is 20 days, but the notification reference date is not limited to 20 days. The notification reference date can be arbitrarily set on the day when the user judges that the possibility that the new ETC card 2 has arrived is high, such as the 19th and the 21st.

<Modification 10>
In the above-described embodiment, if it is determined that the current date / time has passed the expiration month at the time of card detection, the determination result at the time of card detection is directly used as the latest determination in the card removal processing and key switch-off processing. As a result. However, regardless of whether or not the current date / time is determined to have passed the expiration month when the card is detected, the current date / time is obtained again in the card removal processing and key switch-off processing. The relationship with the expiration date may be re-determined.
