DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a taxi receipt issuing system for automatically printing a fare calculated by a taxi meter with a receipt issuing device and issuing a receipt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, a taxi meter is provided with tariffs for pick-up, payment, waiting for pick-up, extra, rental, empty, and the like. The pick-up tariff is a tariff when a request for pick-up is received from a passenger. When the pick-up tariff is pressed, a pick-up fee is added.

[0003] In the waiting waiting tariff, if the waiting waiting tariff is depressed when the destination is reached by depressing the waiting tariff, a fee corresponding to the waiting time until the passenger gets on the board is added. The surcharge tariff is a tariff for adding a surcharge, and when the surcharge tariff is depressed in the night time zone, for example, a 30% surcharge of the daytime running fee is added.

[0004] fare run tariff is a tariff of order to add a travel fee, charge by pressing for the time distance combined with wage run tariff is added to ride customer. The payment tariff is selected mainly when a fee is received from a passenger, and when the payment tariff is pressed, the addition of the fee based on time is stopped.

[0005] The empty tariff is a tariff selected after the passenger gets off the vehicle, and resets the added charge by pressing the empty tariff to return to an empty state. In the conventional taxi receipt issuing system, when the passenger arrives at the target point and presses the payment tariff, it automatically instructs the receipt issuing device and prints the fee displayed on the taxi meter's fee display section Was issued a receipt.

[0006]

As described above, in the conventional taxi receipt issuing system, when the user arrives at the destination and presses the payment tariff, the taximeter display section of the taxi meter is automatically displayed on the receipt issuing device. Was printed and the receipt was issued.

When the payment tariff is depressed,
The addition of the toll based on the travel fee stops, but the toll based on the distance is added. Therefore, if the vehicle arrives at the destination and presses the payment tariff just before the vehicle stops,
If a receipt of the fee at the time of pressing the payment tariff is issued, and thereafter the fee increases depending on the distance traveled by the vehicle until the vehicle completely stops, the fee does not match the amount of the issued receipt.

In addition, while a taxi is traveling on a highway, administrative guidance is given to add tolls based only on the distance traveled. Therefore, if the payment tariff is pressed to add the fare only to the mileage, a meaningless receipt is automatically issued.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a taxi receipt issuing system which eliminates price jumps and issue of meaningless receipts.

Next, the operation of the taxi meter will be described with reference to FIG. The processing is started when the accessory power is turned on. In the process S1, the charge calculating unit 13A sets the vehicle to an empty state, and proceeds to the process S2. In the process S2, the fee calculation unit 13A determines whether or not the tariff switch 14 has been pressed, and waits until the tariff switch 14 is pressed if the determination result is NO.

In the process S3, if the determination in the process S2 is YES, the business signal transmitting unit 13B transmits a business signal via the I / O 17. This sales signal is a signal indicating that the taxi is open, and is used, for example, to control the lighting of a display provided in a window in front of the driver's seat to notify the customer whether the taxi is empty.

In the process S4, the fee calculation unit 13B calculates a fee corresponding to the tariff pressed in the process S2. In the process S5, the fee display control unit 13C transfers the fee calculated in the process S4 to the display unit 12 via the I / O 16, and causes the fee to be displayed.

In the process S6, the fee calculating section 13A determines whether or not the tariff switch 14 has been used to depress the tariff. If the determination result is NO, the process shifts to the process S3 and proceeds to the processes S3 to S6.
Is repeated. If YES, the process proceeds to step S7, where it is determined whether or not the pressed tariff is a payment. If payment is made, the process proceeds to step S8, and the fee calculation corresponding to time is stopped in the fee calculation in process S4. The payment processing is set, and the process proceeds to step S3, where steps S3 to S7 are repeated.

If the determination in step S7 is NO, step S9
Then, it is determined whether or not the empty car tariff has been pressed.
In the case of ES, the process proceeds to step S11, and in the case of NO, the process S1
When the processing is shifted to 0, the setting of the process corresponding to the depressed tariff, for example, in the case of the surcharge tariff, the charge calculation is set to be, for example, 10%, and the process proceeds to step S3 to repeat the steps S3 to S9.

In step S11, the sales signal transmitting unit 13B
Stops sending the business signal sent via the I / O 17. In the processing S12, the charge display control unit 13C
The display of the fee on the display unit 12 is continued, and the process proceeds to step S13.
It is determined whether or not the print signal sent from the receipt issuing device 2 via / O19 has been turned off, and the processes S11 to S13 are repeated until the print signal is turned off. Also, the print signal is OFF
Then, the process proceeds to step S14 to stop displaying the fee displayed on the display unit 12.

In step S15, the accessory power is turned off.

In step S21, the print signal generator 21D
Determines whether the business signal from the taxi meter 1 input via the I / O 24 has been turned ON, and waits until it is turned ON if the determination result is NO. In processing S22,
The print signal generator 21D sends a print signal to the taxi meter 1 via the I / O 22.

In step S23, the print start determining section 21A
Determines whether or not the business signal input via the I / O 24 has been turned OFF. If the determination result is NO, the process S
The process proceeds to S22, and the processes S22 and S23 are repeated.

In step S24, the print control unit 21C sets the I
The toll data from the taxi meter input via the / O23 is recorded in the data recording unit 21B, the process proceeds to step S25, the data recorded in the data recording unit 21B is read, and the receipt is printed on the printing unit 20. Let them do it.

In the process S26, the print control unit 21C monitors whether or not the printing in the printing unit 20 has been completed, and if it is determined that the printing has been completed, the process proceeds to the process S27. In process S27, when receiving the print end signal from the print control unit 21C, the print signal generation unit 21D stops the print signal being transmitted after T seconds.

In step S28, the accessory power is turned off.
Is determined, and if the determination is NO, the process shifts to step S21 to continue the processes S21 to S28, and if the determination is YES, the process ends. With reference to a time chart showing the above processing in FIG. 4, when depressed the geisha or Chinhashi tariff taxi meter at time t ₁ (S2), and sends the operating signal (S3).
