Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a taxi meter for calculating and displaying a taxi ride fare.

[Conventional technology]

The taxi fare is generally a basic fare (for example, 470 yen) until the taxi vehicle travels a specified basic mileage, or until a specified time required assuming that the taxi vehicle has traveled at the specified vehicle speed If it exceeds that, the predetermined fee (the following fee) is added every time the vehicle travels the predetermined traveling distance (the following distance) or each time the predetermined time (the following time) elapses. Then, this boarding fee is displayed on the indicator of the taximeter, and when the passenger gets off, the displayed fee is paid.

Further, when the passenger gets on at night (for example, after 10:00 pm), the above-mentioned fee is increased by a predetermined rate (for example, 20%), and this additional fee is displayed.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, with the above-described conventional taximeter, passengers cannot recognize when the fare will increase by the fare. For this reason, there is a problem in that the fare is increased immediately before or at the same time as arriving at the destination, which may cause passengers to feel uncomfortable, which is not preferable in business.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a taximeter that allows passengers to easily recognize the increase in boarding fare.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

As shown in the basic configuration diagram of FIG. 1, the taximeter made according to the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems counts every unit riding distance or unit riding time, and charges each time the counted value reaches a predetermined value. A boarding fare calculating means 14a for generating a rising signal and calculating a boarding fare by adding a predetermined additional charge each time the fare rising signal is generated, and the boarding fare calculating means for charging a fare when the counted value becomes the predetermined value. In the period until the rising signal is generated, each time the count value becomes a plurality of preset setting values, the display signal calculating means 14b for generating a display signal,
The fare display unit 13 ₁ for displaying a fare to the fare calculation means is calculated, gradually decreases every time the display signal calculating means for generating a display signal, the remaining distance traveled or ride charges increases and display means 13 with the remaining display unit 13 ₂ a plurality of times the display corresponding to the time, wherein the plurality of set values, are finely set as the remaining distance traveled or ride time is reduced I am trying.

[Action]

In the configuration described above, the display unit 13, the fare calculation unit 14a there is a remaining display unit 13 ₂ is provided in addition to the fee the display unit 13 ₁ for displaying a fare computed, this remaining display unit 13 ₂ Each time the display signal calculation means 14b generates a display signal, it gradually decreases. The display corresponding to the remaining boarding distance or boarding time until the fare rises is made a plurality of times, and further, as the remaining boarding distance or boarding time becomes smaller, the display is made finely. The display signal generated by the display signal calculation means 14b is a period until the count value of the unit boarding distance or the unit boarding time by the boarding charge calculation means 14a reaches a predetermined value and the boarding charge calculation means generates a charge increase signal, Since this is generated every time a plurality of preset values are reached, the taxi passenger receives the display signal to display the remaining display portion 13
By looking at the display shown in ₂ , it is possible to easily recognize the situation until the price rises.

〔Example〕

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 2 illustrates an embodiment of Takishimeta by the present invention, in the figure, the front panel 12 of the Takishimeta 11, a display unit 13, various tariff switches SW ₁ to SW ₆ are provided. The tariff switches SW _{1 to} SW ₆ are for cumulative tariffs, empty tariffs, intercepting tariffs, paying tariffs, 20% more tariffs for nighttime, and fare tariffs, respectively.

Figure 3 shows the internal structure of Takishimeta 11 according to the present invention. In the figure, 14 is the watch CPU, 14 ₁ is being built CPU14 is, the 15 ROM, 16 is a driving sensor. The ROM 15 stores the above-described basic travel distance, basic time corresponding to the basic travel distance, basic charge, end-to-end distance, end-to-end time corresponding to end-to-end distance, and end-to-end charge.

The traveling sensor 16 detects the rotation of the transmission of the vehicle and generates a traveling pulse, and the CPU 14 calculates a boarding fare during rent based on the traveling pulse and time, and generates a fare increase signal. The CPU 14 has a ROM 15 and a travel sensor 16
Besides, the display 13 and the tariff switches SW _{1 to} SW ₆ are connected.

FIG. 4 shows a specific structure of the display unit 13. 13 ₁ is a boarding charge display section in which 7-segment display elements are arranged in a predetermined digit, 13 ₂
Is a bar display unit that displays the remaining travel distance and travel time from the currently displayed fare to the next fare increase, and the bar display unit 13 ₂ is composed of display bars G _{1 to} G ₇ . Bar G ₅ ~G ₇ its length than the other bar G ₁ ~G ₄ of the bar G ₁ to G ₇ is shortened. The 13 ₃ is an exponential display unit for displaying the index, such as the number of times the rear Ji operating frequency and above. In addition, a wind sign display section (not shown) that indicates the state of fare or a vehicle is also provided.

The operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the oncoming vehicle tariff switch SW ₃ has been operated, and if it has been operated, the oncoming vehicle is displayed in step S3. If it is determined in step S1 that the intercepting tariff switch SW ₃ is not operated, or after executing step S3, the process proceeds to step S2, in which the fare tariff switch SW ₆ or the premium tariff switch SW ₅ is operated. To judge. When the ride customer newly ride, since tariff switch SW ₆ or premium tariff switch SW ₅ run the fare is operated, the process proceeds to step S4, where basic to fare display unit 13 ₁ Rate M ₁ (e.g., 470 yen ) Is displayed, and all the display bars G _{1 to} G ₇ are lit.

The flow advances to step S6 after setting the number of pulses IDP = 1000 during basic fare in the internal register of CPU14 at step S5, where loading the running pulse or from the clock 14 ₁ time from the travel sensor 16, based on this It is determined whether the vehicle has traveled a unit traveling distance or a unit time has elapsed, and if the determination is YES, the IDP is decremented by -1 in the next step S7 to count. That is, for example, a taxi vehicle
When the number of travel pulses generated when traveling 1 m is detected or when the time required to travel 1 m at a predetermined vehicle speed has elapsed, IDP is subtracted by -1 to count. Then, after executing the subroutine R1 for controlling the bar display section 13 ₂ at step S8, IDP is equal to or 0 in step S9, 0 if not step S6
Return to.

In the subroutine R1, first, in step S20, IDP = 80
It is determined whether it is 0, and if the determination is YES, the step
After the display bar G1 is turned off in S21, the process returns to step S6. If the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S22, where I
It is determined whether DP = 600, and if 600, step S2
At 3, the display bar G ₂ is turned off. Step S24 ~
And it is determined whether the IDP = 400,200,150,100,50 turns off the G ₃ ~G ₇ in S33. That is, for example, in the period until the first ride reaches the traveling distance of 1000 m, or until the time required to travel 1 m at a predetermined speed reaches the time of traveling 1000 m minutes, the display bar G depending on the traveling distance and the traveling time. _{1 to} G ₇ are turned off sequentially, and when the remaining 50m is reached, all display bars G _{1 to} G ₇ are turned off.

Next, returning to the main routine, in step S9, IDP =
Proceeds to zero comes to step S10, where the sum of boarding rates currently displayed (basic charge) Other additional charge M ₂ That Ji rear Price (e.g., 90 yen), and displays it.
Then, the procedure proceeds to step S11, where the number of pulses ADP = 500 after the first ride is set in the internal register, and then step S1
In 2, all display bars G _{1 to} G ₇ are turned on. As a result, when the charge rises, all the display bars G _{1 to} G ₆ are turned on from the off state. Next, in step S13, detects and unit travel distance of time from the running pulse and watches 14 ₁ from the travel sensor 16, or becomes a unit time -1 subtracting the ADP in step S14. For example, as described above, when the number of traveling pulses generated when the taxi vehicle travels 1 m is detected, or when the time required to travel 1 m at a predetermined vehicle speed elapses, -1 is subtracted from ADP.

Then after performing the subroutine R2 for controlling the bar display unit 13 ₂ in step S15, ADP is equal to or 0. In step S16, the determination is NO back to 0 unless the step S13, If the determination is YES and 0, the process returns to the switch S10.

In subroutine R2, first in step S40, ADP = 400
If it is 400, the display bar G1 is turned off by the switch S41, and the process returns to step S13. Again 4
If it is not 00, the process proceeds to step S42, and it is determined whether or not ADP = 300. If it is 300, the display bar G2 is set at step S43.
To turn off. In the following steps S44 to S53, ADP = 20
It is determined whether the 0,100,75,50,25 turning off the G ₃ ~G ₇ in. That is, for example, when the additional charge rises at a mileage of 500 m, or when the fare increases for the time required to travel 1 m at a predetermined speed for 500 m minutes, the mileage until the next fare increase or The display bars G _{1 to} G ₇ are sequentially turned off according to the running time, and when the remaining 25 m is reached, all the display bars G _{1 to} G ₇ are turned off.

Also, if the fare is newly increased, the fare will be an additional charge M ₂
And all of the display bars G _{1 to} G _n are changed from the unlit state to the lit state.

Next, the subroutine R3 is the job when taxi arrives at the destination and the passenger pays the fare. When the pay tariff SW ₄ is operated to the main routine, this subroutine R3
3 is interrupted. First, in step S60, if it is determined that the pay tariff switch SW ₄ has been operated, the passenger pays the boarding charge displayed in the boarding charge display section 13 ₁ of the display unit 13 and dismounts the vehicle. It is determined whether SW ₂ is operated, and if so, the process proceeds to step S62, where the registers used in the arithmetic processing of the main routine and subroutines R1 and R2 are cleared, and the display 13 is turned off. Perform empty car processing.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the display corresponding to the remaining boarding distance or boarding time until the next boarding fare increases is performed a plurality of times, and the display becomes finer as the time when the fare increases. Therefore, by seeing this display, taxi passengers can easily recognize the detailed situation immediately before the fare increase, and even if they fail to see it once, the fare increase may occur without knowing it. It will not happen, and the effect that the price increase notice can be effectively used can be obtained.
