CONSTITUTION:The District Land Transport Bureau records items that an applicant enters at the time of automobile inspection in a host computer 11, then records necessary items on an automobile inspection certificate 15, and record bar codes 4a and 4b of a vehicle body number and chassis number on the automobile inspection sticker 1, thereby issuing the sticker to the applicant. The applicant sticks it on the internal surface of the windshield 101 of the automobile 100. When a stolen car is found, data on a floppy disk 21 where stolen vehicle data are recorded and data on passing vehicles which are read by a bar code scanner 23 are matched at the time of car inspection and displayed on a CRT 24. For control over parking violation, a handy terminal 31 wherein a timer is incorporated is used in combination to record vehicle information and read time and an elapsed time up to next read time is compared with a limit time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a sticker on which information about seven cars is printed, and a method and system for controlling stolen cars and parking violations using the sticker.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Traditionally, to check whether a suspicious car on the road or a car passing through a checkpoint is a stolen car, a police officer reads the vehicle number at the scene and reports it to police headquarters via radio or other means. The vehicle number is compared with data regarding the stolen vehicle, and the results are communicated to the police officer at the scene. Therefore, since it takes a long time to inquire about the vehicle, there is a problem in that the stolen vehicle cannot be easily discovered even by inspection.

In addition, in order to crack down on parking violations, the tire positions and enforcement times of cars parked in no-parking areas are marked with chalk on the road, and if the same car is still parked in the same position even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. Tickets for parking violations are attached to the body of the vehicle, and drivers are ordered to pay the violation fee. However, the chalk markings on the roads did not disappear easily and remained for many days, spoiling the city's scenery. In addition, when cracking down on parking violations, it is necessary to record the enforcement time, vehicle number, etc. for each vehicle as evidence.
The enforcement process took a long time and was inefficient. Another disadvantage is that it is not possible to mark the road with chalk when it is raining and the road surface is wet.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, the invention described in this case was made for the purpose of making it possible to easily and easily check stolen cars, record parking violations, etc.

The sticker according to the present invention includes a first sticker on which vehicle information such as a vehicle number and chassis number is printed in the form of a bar code, and a second sticker on which a vehicle inspection deadline is printed. In addition, the first sticker, the second sticker, and the force are separated,
Both may be attached to a single mount. Alternatively, the first sticker and the second sticker may be attached to separate mounts, and these may be combined into a set. Furthermore, the first sticker and the second sticker
The sticker may be integrated and attached to a single sheet of paper.

Peel off the sticker from the backing paper and place it in an easily visible place on the car body.
For example, the inner surface of the windshield is pasted.

Therefore, if at least the main body of the first sticker is made of a translucent sheet, an adhesive layer is provided on one surface facing the mount, and a barcode is printed on the other surface, the first sticker body affixed to the mount can be Individual vehicle information can be printed on one sticker.

Next, the stolen car detection method is to attach a sticker with vehicle information printed in the form of a barcode to the car, read the vehicle information from the barcode, and compare the vehicle information with the stolen car information. This is to determine whether the vehicle specified from the vehicle information is a stolen vehicle.

The stolen car detection system implements the stolen car detection method described above, and prints vehicle information in the form of a barcode, and uses the sticker affixed to the car, the car to which the sticker is affixed, and the barcode of the sticker. A reading means for reading car information, a storage means for storing stolen car information, and comparing the stolen car information with the vehicle information read by the reading means, and confirming that the car identified from the vehicle information is not a stolen car. a means of determining whether
and display means for displaying that the identified vehicle is a stolen vehicle when the determination means determines that the vehicle is stolen.

Next, the parking violation enforcement method is to attach a sticker with vehicle information printed in the form of a barcode to the car, read the vehicle information, record at least the vehicle information and reading time, and then record the same vehicle information. When the reading time is read, the elapsed time between the first reading time and the next reading time is calculated and the elapsed time is displayed. Note that it is desirable to compare the elapsed time with a predetermined time limit and issue a warning when the parking time exceeds the time limit.

The parking violation enforcement system is for carrying out the above-mentioned parking violation enforcement method, and uses a sticker with vehicle information printed in barcode, a car with the sticker attached, and vehicle information from the barcode of the sticker. a reading means for reading, a storage means for storing the vehicle information and the reading time, a calculation means for calculating the elapsed time from the first reading time to the next reading time when the same vehicle information is read; It is composed of a display means for displaying the time.

Further, it is preferable to provide a determining means for determining whether or not the parking time exceeds a predetermined time limit, and a notifying means for notifying that the measured time exceeds the time limit.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the parking violation enforcement system includes a printing device that prints vehicle information and reading time on a parking violation ticket when illegal parking is detected by the determination device.

If you look at sticker 1 (from the opposite direction), you will see numbers,
The letters appear upside down. By the way, the substrate 2 is not limited to a plastic film, and may be made of translucent paper, cellophane, etc., or may be a transparent body.

As shown in FIG. 3, the sticker 1 is issued together with a vehicle inspection certificate 15 at the Ministry of Transport's Land Transport Bureau 10 at the time of vehicle inspection. In other words, the Land Transport Bureau 10 of the Ministry of Transport records the matters written by the applicant on a prescribed form at the time of the vehicle inspection on the host computer 11, downloads it to the terminal I2, and prints it on the printer 13.
In addition to recording the necessary matters on the vehicle inspection certificate 15,
Insert the vehicle body number and chassis number on the vehicle inspection sticker 1 as a barcode 4a
4b, and the vehicle inspection certificate 15 and the vehicle inspection sticker 1 separated at the perforation 8 are issued to the applicant. In the vehicle inspection sticker 1, vehicle inspection deadlines 3a, 3b and barcodes 4a, 4b are printed on the opposite side of the adhesive layer 5. This point differs from conventional vehicle inspection stickers, which include an adhesive layer on a printed paint layer with a vehicle inspection deadline.

Therefore, information necessary for issuance can be printed in the form of barcodes 4a, 4b on the sticker 1 on which the vehicle inspection deadline, etc. 3a, 3b are printed in advance.

The applicant who has received the sticker 1 peels off the sticker 1 from the mount 6 and attaches it to the inside of the windshield 101 of the automobile 100 via the adhesive layer 5.

■ Stolen car found Next, we will discuss the fourth part about finding a stolen car using the sticker.
This will be explained with reference to the figures and FIG.

Stolen cars are discovered at the same time as drunk driving investigations.

At the checkpoint, there is a floppy disk 21 loaded with stolen vehicle data recorded on the National Police Agency's host computer 20, a personal computer 22, and a barcode scanner 23 that scans barcodes and reads the information. and the floppy disk 21
The stolen car data is called up to the personal computer 22 (#1).

At the time of inspection, the barcode 4a and 4b of the sticker 1 affixed to the windshield 101 of the car 100 are scanned through the glass with the barcode scanner 23, and the vehicle number and body number are read (#2).

Furthermore, when viewed from the outside of the windshield 101, the barcode printing paint is located on the inside (inside the car) of the matte-finished translucent film, so the barcodes 4a and 4b appear thin. There is no problem when scanning with the barcode scanner 23, and the information can be read with sufficient accuracy.

The information read by the barcode scanner 23 is input to the personal computer 22, where it is compared with the stolen car record stored on the floppy disk 21 (#3).

If the read car information matches the stolen car take, C
Necessary information such as the fact that the vehicle is a stolen vehicle and the identity of the person who drove the vehicle is displayed on the RT 24 (#4). This information may be printed by a printer (not shown).

If the read car information does not match the stolen car data, display on the CRT 24 that the car is not stolen (#5)
.

When one stolen vehicle detection task is completed and reset (#
6) Subsequent cars passing through the checkpoint will be checked one by one or as needed.

Note that the determination result of a stolen vehicle may be notified by a sound such as a buzzer, and in this case, the types of sounds emitted are different depending on whether the vehicle is stolen or not.

Also, a small portable computer can be used to check the takes, and such a small computer can be easily carried around when on patrol.

■ Enforcement of parking violations Next, enforcement of parking violations using the sticker 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 7.

Police officers enforcing parking violations use barcode scanners 3
0 is connected, and the barcode scanner 30 scans the barcodes 4a and 4b on the sticker 1 of a car parked in a no-parking area to read the vehicle body number and chassis number (#10). At this time, the coded parking prohibited area is also recorded using the numeric keypad 32 of the handy terminal 31 (#11).

The enforcement date and time are automatically recorded by the clock built into the handy terminal 31 (#12). In addition,
The enforcement date and time may be input using the numeric keypad 32.

When the recording is completed, the handy terminal 31 checks whether any of the vehicle information already recorded in the handy terminal 31 matches the newly recorded vehicle information (#13).

If the vehicle information is newly recorded or recorded for the first time, the handy terminal 31 prints out a warning ticket 40 displaying the vehicle number, no-parking area, recording time, and the attached printer ( #14).

This printing process may be performed automatically or may be performed when the print key is pressed.

The police officer attaches this warning ticket 40 to a highly visible location such as the windshield 101 of the car 100 to warn the driver of the fact of the enforcement and to remove the car from the area as soon as possible.

When a police officer patrols the same no-parking area again and finds a car with a warning ticket 40 affixed to it, he scans the sticker 1 with a barcode scanner 30. and,
If the newly recorded vehicle information matches the already recorded vehicle information, the handy terminal 31 calculates the elapsed time t3 (-tz t+) from the first scan time t1 to the second scan time t. (#15
).

Next, in the handy terminal 31, the elapsed time opening t,
#
16) If the elapsed time t3 or the limit time t4 has been exceeded, the police officer is warned of this by a sound such as a buzzer, and the elapsed time tl, etc. is displayed on the display screen 33 (#17). On the other hand, if the elapsed time t3 does not exceed the time limit t4, that fact is displayed on the display screen 33 (#18).

When the police officer confirms that the scanned car has already been illegally parked for a considerable period of time through the screen display, voice, etc., the police officer issues a parking ticket 4 using the printer attached to the handy terminal 31.
Print out 1 (#19). This violation ticket 41
Necessary information such as vehicle number, date, enforcement time (reading time), payment method and timing for violators, parking violation area, etc. is printed. The printed parking ticket 41 is the car lOO
It is attached to an easily visible place such as the windshield 101 of the vehicle.

The driver arrests the violator according to the instructions written on the parking ticket.

When the police officer finishes his patrol, he returns to the police station, etc., downloads the information recorded on the handy terminal 31 to the personal computer 50, and records all the details of the parking violation enforcement conducted that day.

The recorded information is recorded on the floppy disk 51,
This is stored in the host computer 52 of the local police headquarters. Note that data may be directly transmitted from the personal computer 50 to the host computer 52 using the telephone line 53.

Based on the data sent from the police station, the police headquarters manages whether or not the violator has been charged within the prescribed period, and if the violator has not paid the fine even after the prescribed period has passed. If so, a list of violators is printed out and a demand letter 54 is sent to the car owner.

■.Other embodiments (A) In the above embodiment, the vehicle inspection mark includes the vehicle number 4a,
The chassis number 4b is printed as a barcode, but as shown in FIG. It is also possible to separate the displayed second sticker Ib and affix these onto a single mount 6 and issue it at the time of vehicle inspection.

Alternatively, the first sticker 1a and the second sticker 1b may be attached to separate mounts, and then issued as a set at the time of vehicle inspection.

In these cases, the second sticker lb is attached to the upper center of the windshield 101 of the car 100, and the first sticker 1b is attached, for example, to the lower corner of the windshield or to the glass on both sides or sides of the rear window. Therefore, barcodes can be easily read during parking violation enforcement, etc., without obstructing the driver's field of view.

Further, the first sticker 1a and the second sticker 1b can be made of materials and printing paints suitable for their respective functions.

(b) Furthermore, the barcodes 4a and 4b are printed in a different location from the pattern 3a and the number 3b representing the vehicle inspection deadline so as not to overlap with them, or the barcodes 4a and 4b are printed in a different location from the pattern 3a and the number 3b, as shown in Figure 9.10. 3a and 3b are printed in light pink, yellow, orange, etc. that does not absorb infrared rays, and barcode 4a is printed on top of it.
, 4b may be printed overlappingly. in this case,
The area occupied by the vehicle inspection sticker 1 is reduced, and even if it is pasted on the windshield, it will not interfere with driving.

(c) In the above description, the sticker 1 is attached to the windshield 101 of the car 100, but in the case of a two-wheeled vehicle, it is attached to a part of the vehicle body.

(d) In addition, although the sticker 1 is used for detecting stolen cars and controlling parking violations, the purpose of use is not limited to these. For example, the Japan Automobile Federation (Japan Automobile Federation)
When receiving service from an association (abbreviated as JAF), it may be used to confirm whether the vehicle is a member of the association.

(e) Furthermore, whether only the vehicle number and chassis number are to be printed as a bar code on the inspection mark, or other information,
For example, the location, location, etc. may be displayed.

(f) In the sticker 1 shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, the printing paint layer 3 is provided on the surface of the substrate 2 on which the barcode 4a4b is printed (the upper surface in the figure).
It may be provided on the surface on the adhesive layer 5 side (lower surface in the figure).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above explanation, the sticker includes the vehicle number and
Information about the car, such as the chassis number, is printed in barcodes. Therefore, by using a barcode scanner to read information recorded in barcodes from stickers attached to cars, it is possible to easily discover stolen cars, control parking violations, and the like.

In addition, the sticker may be issued in which the first sticker and the second sticker are separated and pasted on a single sheet of paper, or
If the sticker and the second sticker are attached to separate mounts and issued as a set, the second step, which indicates the vehicle inspection deadline, is attached to the upper center of the front windshield of the car, and the first step, which indicates the force during driving, is applied. It can be pasted in any place where there is no problem, and each sticker part can be made of materials and printing materials that are suitable for its function.

Furthermore, if the sticker body is a translucent sheet with a barcode printed on it, the light projected onto the non-printed area between the bars will be reliably reflected, allowing the information to be read accurately.

According to the stolen car detection method and system, there is no need to notify the police headquarters of the vehicle number etc. by radio and verify whether the car is stolen there, and the stolen car can be directly detected on the spot, making it easier to find the stolen car. is extremely easy and can be done in a short time. Therefore, the apprehension rate of stolen cars increases, and related incidents can be solved.

According to the parking violation enforcement method and system, there is no need to mark illegally parked cars or roads with chalk or the like, so the roads and cars are not contaminated. Additionally, parking violations can be enforced even in rainy or snowy weather. Furthermore, since the task is as simple as scanning a barcode with a barcode scanner, the amount of effort required by police officers is reduced when cracking down on numerous parking violations, making it possible to arrest parking violations more efficiently.
