  A preferred embodiment of a device for preventing forgetting a driver's license according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  1A is a front view of a device for preventing forgetting a driver's license according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a side view thereof, and FIGS. 1C and 1D are driver's licenses. This shows the state that the proof is installed. The device 100 for preventing the driver's license from being forgotten is provided integrally or individually with the IC card reader of the driver's license. The device 100 for preventing the driver's license from being forgotten includes a holding unit 110 for holding the driver's license, a rectangular housing 120 provided at a lower portion of the holding unit 110, and the driving license held by the holding unit 110. And a lamp unit 140 attached to the front surface of the housing 120.

  The holding unit 110 includes, for example, two plate-like members 110A and 110B on the surface of the housing 120, and the two plate-like members 110A and 110B are inclined at a certain angle. Accordingly, the driver's license D is placed and held so as to be inverted while being inclined between the two plate-like members 110A and 110B. However, how to hold the driver's license D is arbitrary and is not necessarily limited to the form shown in FIG. For example, the driver's license D may be placed horizontally on the surface of the housing 120.

  The driver's license D incorporates an IC chip, and the license information stored in the IC chip is read by the IC card reader unit 200 housed in the housing 120. This will be described later.

  A detection unit 130 that detects the presence of the driver's license D is provided adjacent to the holding unit 110. The detection unit 130 has a surface with the same inclination angle as the surface of the plate-shaped member 110A as if the plate-shaped member 110A of the holding unit 110 is continuous. Therefore, the user can place the driver's license D so as to lean on both the plate-like member 110 </ b> A and the detection unit 130 without any discomfort. However, the configuration of the detection unit 130 is not limited to the mode illustrated in FIG. 1, and the two plate-like members 110 </ b> A and 110 </ b> B may be continuous as in the holding unit 110. However, the continuity of the shape with the holding part 110 is not necessarily required. In short, it is only necessary that the presence of the driver's license D held in the holding unit 110 can be detected.

  The detection unit 130 detects the presence of the driver's license D by either a contact type or a non-contact type. The detection unit 130 includes, for example, an optical sensor that irradiates light such as laser light or infrared light and receives reflected light, a proximity sensor that detects that the driver's license is close by magnetism, and a driver's license. A contact sensor may be included that displaces the contact in response to being done. A detection result by the detection unit 130 is provided to a warning unit in the housing 120.

  The lamp unit 140 includes, for example, a light emitting diode and other light emitting lamps. The lamp unit 140 emits light continuously or intermittently while the driving license D is detected by the detection unit 130. Although not shown here, the housing 120 is provided with a speaker for outputting a warning sound or other sound. The warning sound from the speaker is detected by the detection unit 130 when the driving license D is detected. Output continuously or intermittently.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the device 100 for preventing the driver's license from being forgotten. As shown in the figure, the prevention device 100 includes an IC card reader unit 200 that reads the license information of the driver's license D, and a forgetting prevention unit 300 that prevents the driver's license D from being forgotten. It is out.

  The IC card reader unit 200, when the driving license is held in the holding unit 110, a reading unit 210 that reads the license information of the IC chip in a non-contact state, and a storage unit 220 that stores the read license information And a control unit 230 that controls the reading unit 210 and the storage unit 220. Although not shown in detail here, the IC card radar unit 200 is connected to a computer or the like using a USB cable or other connection means, and the read license information is transmitted to the computer. The computer checks and manages the driver's license information based on the received license information. If necessary, the computer issues a warning to the effect if it finds an unqualified reason for driving.

  The forgetting prevention unit 300 includes a proximity sensor 310 that detects the driving license D and a warning unit 320 that issues a warning based on the detection result of the proximity sensor 310 when the driving license D is held in the holding unit 110. . The proximity sensor 310 detects the presence of the driver's license D at least while the driver's license D is held by the holding unit 110 or while the license information of the driver's license D is read by the IC card reader unit 200. To detect.

  While the driving license D is detected by the proximity sensor 310, the warning unit 320 issues a warning that can be sensed by hearing or sight, and the driving license D is held by the holding unit 110 to the user or the driver. Let me know that The warning unit 310 turns on the lamp unit 140 as described above, or sounds a warning buzzer from a speaker.

  When the driver's license D is removed from the holding unit 110, that is, when reading of the license information is completed, the proximity sensor 310 makes the driver's license undetected. The warning unit 320 receives the detection result and stops the warning.

In the present embodiment, the detection unit 130 includes the proximity sensor 310, but the proximity sensor 310 may be, for example, a DC 3-wire NPN output type sensor. FIG. 2A shows an example of a circuit diagram when a proximity sensor of a direct current 3-wire NPN output type is used.
As shown in the figure, a fuse 326 and a power source 328 are connected to the plus side terminal of the proximity sensor 310. Further, a lamp 322 and a buzzer 324 serving as warning outputs are connected in parallel between the minus side terminal and the hue and 326.
