Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle fee calculating device for calculating a fee required for running a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a display device for calculating a fare required for traveling and displaying the calculated fare, such as a taxi fare meter, has been widely used. Further, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-338735 proposes an on-board toll display device for displaying a toll road usage fee and a prepaid card balance.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, the displayed fee is simply the fee required for traveling, and is displayed when a plurality of occupants share the fee, or when some occupants share the fee. When a passenger gets on and / or gets off on the way, it is often troublesome that individual occupants often calculate on their own or estimate the cost on the spot.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a toll calculating device for a vehicle which accurately calculates a charge to be shared among tolls required for traveling of a vehicle even when a plurality of occupants get on and off on the way.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, a vehicle fee calculating device according to the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, a first aspect of the present invention provides a first calculating means for calculating a fee required for traveling of a vehicle, an input means for inputting the number of occupants in the vehicle, and the first calculating means. A second calculating unit that calculates an individual fee for each occupant in the vehicle based on the calculated fee and the number of occupants input from the input unit. . As a result, the charge to be shared among the charges required for traveling of the vehicle is accurately calculated even when a plurality of occupants get on and off the vehicle.

[0007] Preferably, the apparatus further comprises display means for displaying the individual fee calculated by the second calculation means (claim 2). This allows each passenger on board to visually recognize the current charge to be shared at that time, and to determine whether they can pay with their cash (including card premium) at that time. And make payments faster when you stop off.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the second calculating means divides the fee calculated by the first calculating means by the number of occupants input from the input means, and calculates the divided value. It is advisable to calculate individual charges by adding up the charges. Thereby, the fare to be shared by the individual occupants is calculated by the most general method.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the second calculating means calculates the fee calculated by the first calculating means according to a preset distribution ratio and the number of occupants inputted from the input means. And individual charges may be calculated by integrating the distributed values. This allows
For example, an individual fee according to the ability to pay is calculated.

In the above arrangement, for example, a card reader capable of reading and writing information from and to a plurality of cards (claim 6), a collecting means for collecting individual fees calculated by the second calculating means. (Claim 5). As a result, individual fees are quickly collected in a short time.

At this time, for example, the card is a prepaid card, and the card reader may collect the individual fee from the prepaid card (claim 7).

Alternatively, the card is a card in which at least information for specifying an occupant is stored in advance, and the collecting means sends out the information for specifying the occupant read from the card by the card reader to the outside. It is preferable to further include a transmitter for performing the operation (claim 8). In this case, the individual fee will be separately charged later, for example, by a credit company.

According to a ninth aspect, the input means includes:
The number of occupants is recognized according to the number of cards accessing the card reader. As a result, the owner of the card accessing the card reader is determined to be the currently occupant, and the determined occupants and the number of persons are automatically reflected in the calculation of the individual fee.

At this time, preferably, the input means includes:
It is preferable that manual input by an occupant is possible (claim 10). As a result, the individual fare to be paid by the occupant who does not own the card can be calculated, and payment by cash is made possible.

Further, for example, the toll required for traveling of the vehicle includes a toll on a toll road (Claim 11), a distance toll added according to the mileage (Claim 12), or a toll on the travel time. The added hourly fee (claim 15) is included. At this time, the distance fee may be added each time the vehicle travels a predetermined distance, and the time fee may be added each time a predetermined time elapses (claims 13 and 16). This realizes calculation of an individual fare when, for example, sharing a taxi or the like and getting on the way or getting off the way.

According to a fourteenth aspect of the present invention, the distance fee is the amount of energy required to travel the predetermined distance, and for example, the actual cost of traveling by a private vehicle without calculating a time fee is calculated. Individual costs may be calculated.

The functions of these switches will be described later. The display 8 displays the fare of each occupant up to the present. This individual fee,
It is needless to say that the display may be made only when the occupant desires, but it is better to always display the information from the viewpoint of convenience especially in the use such as a taxi.
At this time, for example, when the display 8 is also used as a so-called car navigation display, the size of the fee display may be appropriately changed.

Next, a description will be given of a fee calculating process of the vehicle fee calculating device having the above configuration.

In the following description, a toll on a toll road will be described as an embodiment in which an occupant manually sets the toll when passing through the toll road.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the fee calculation process according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and shows the process performed by the microcomputer 11 according to a program stored in a ROM (not shown) or the like in advance.

In the fare calculation process of this embodiment, an occupant who is on the way and who carries a card inserts his / her own card into the card reader 6 at the time of the boarding, and gets off the way. The occupant who has paid the sharing fee using his / her own card inserted in the card reader 6, takes out the card, and gets off.

An occupant who does not carry a card pays a shared fee in cash. For this reason,
Each time an occupant who does not carry a card gets on and off on the way, the switch 55 for various settings is depressed and the number of occupants currently in the occupant is changed from the corresponding screen.

Referring to FIG. 3, the occupant performs an initial setting for starting the charge calculation (charging) in step S1. In the case of a taxi, as the initial settings, at least the switch 53 to which the fare is added according to the unit traveling time and the switch 54 to which the fare is added according to the unit traveling distance are depressed. Thereby, charging of the distance fee and the hourly fee is set.

At this time, the occupant inserts his / her own card into the card reader 6 and presses various setting switches 55 to display the number of occupants (taxi) currently on the vehicle from the corresponding screen. In the case of, it goes without saying that the driver is excluded). This is to display the shared charge of the occupant even when the occupant who does not have the card is on board.

In this embodiment, the occupant inputs the switch 52 for charging the toll on the toll road when the vehicle passes through the toll road (details will be described later).

Step S2: microcomputer 11
Detects the operation state of the input switch 5 set in step S1.

Steps S3 and S4: Based on the detection result of step S2, the microcomputer 11 sets the distance toll calculation subroutine of step S4 when the switch 54 indicating the charge of the distance toll is set (YES). (The details will be described later). On the other hand, when the switch 54 is not set (NO), the process proceeds to step S5.

Steps S5 and S6: The microcomputer 11 determines from the detection result of the step S2 that the switch 52 indicating the charging of the toll on the toll road is set (in the case of YES), the toll in the step S5. (The details will be described later). On the other hand, when the switch 52 is not set (NO), the process proceeds to step S7.

Steps S7 and S8: The microcomputer 11 determines from the detection result of step S2 that the time charge calculation subroutine of step S8 is performed when the switch 53 indicating the charge of the time charge is set (YES). (The details will be described later). On the other hand, when the switch 53 is not set (NO), the process proceeds to step S9.

Step S9: microcomputer 11

The total value of the individual tolls for the distance toll, the toll on the toll road, and the hourly toll calculated in step 8 may be calculated.

Steps S10 and S11: The microcomputer 11 newly compares the IDs of all the cards currently inserted in the card reader 6 with the card IDs stored in the RAM (not shown). It is determined whether there is an inserted card, and if so, the ID of that card is registered in the RAM. When there is no newly inserted card, the process proceeds to step S12.

Step S12: In the present embodiment, the card ejection operation from the card reader 6 is used as a trigger for payment processing of the sharing fee from the card. The microcomputer 11 determines whether there is a request (ejection operation) for removing the currently inserted card, and proceeds to step S15 when there is no request.

Steps S13 and S14: When the request is determined in step S12, for example, when the medium to be used is a prepaid card, the microcomputer 11 corresponds to the premium of the card requested to be removed. Debit (withdrawal)
(Step S13), the card from which the charge is deducted is discharged (Step S14). Also, if the medium to be used is a credit card,
Store it in AM or the like. In this case, the occupant's share fee stored in the RAM or the like will be charged to the individual occupant later by the credit company.

For an occupant who does not have a card, his / her shared fee displayed on the display 7 is paid in cash, and a switch 55 for various settings is depressed to register the occupant from the corresponding screen. What is necessary is just to set to reduce the number of crew members.

Step S15: microcomputer 1
1 determines whether or not a reset switch (not shown) for terminating charging has been operated, and if there has been no operation (NO), the process returns to step S2 to continue the charge calculation process. on the other hand,
If the operation has been performed (YES), the display of the fee on the display 7 ends, and the calculated fee is reset.

Next, the distance fee calculation subroutine in step S4 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a distance fee calculation subroutine according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, step S41: The microcomputer 11 calculates the running distance D according to the output signal of the tachometer 4 and a predetermined value representing, for example, the outer circumference of the tire.

Step S42: microcomputer 1
1 determines whether the moving distance D calculated in step S41 is larger than a predetermined unit traveling distance Dt, and if NO, ends the distance toll calculation processing.

Step S43: When the determination in step S42 is YES, the microcomputer 11 calculates a predetermined additional charge to be added every time the unit travels the unit traveling distance Dt.

Step S44, Step S45: The microcomputer 11 calculates the additional charge of each card, Δa, from the additional charge calculated in Step S43 (Step S44), and resets the mileage D (Step S4).
5). At this time, if there is a person who does not have a card, the calculation may be performed using the number of passengers set in advance by the occupant.

Step S46: microcomputer 1
1 adds the additional fee for each card calculated in step S44 to the current distance fee, and sets the added fee as a new distance fee.

Next, the subroutine for calculating the toll on the toll road in step S6 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a subroutine for calculating a toll on a toll road according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, steps S61 and S62: The microcomputer 11 detects the current operation state of the input switch 5 (step S61), and selects the switch 52 for charging the toll on the toll road. Is determined (step S62). If the determination is NO, the toll calculation process ends.

Step S63: When the determination in step S62 is YES, the microcomputer 11 requests the occupant to input a toll using the numeric keypad 51.

Step S64: microcomputer 1
1 calculates an additional charge of each card, $ b, from the toll entered in step S63. At this time, if there is a person who does not have a card, the calculation may be performed using the number of passengers set in advance by the occupant.

Step S65: microcomputer 1
1 adds the additional fee for each card calculated in step S64 to the current toll, and sets the added fee as a new toll.

Next, the subroutine for calculating the hourly fee in step S8 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a time charge calculation subroutine according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, steps S81 and S82: The microcomputer 11 adds 1 to the count value of the timer (step S81), and determines whether the added count value is larger than a predetermined unit time Tt (step S81). If it is NO in step S82), the calculation processing of the hourly fee ends.

Step S83: If the determination in step S82 is YES, the microcomputer 11 calculates a predetermined additional charge to be added every time the unit time Tt elapses.

Steps S84 and S85: The microcomputer 11 calculates an additional charge of each card $ c from the additional charge calculated in step S83 (step S84), and resets the count value T of the timer (step S85). ). At this time, if there is a person who does not have a card, the calculation may be performed using the number of passengers set in advance by the occupant.

Step S86: microcomputer 1
1 adds the additional fee for each card calculated in step S84 to the current hourly fee, and sets the added fee as a new hourly fee.

Next, the processing of calculating the additional charge for each card, which is performed in steps S44, S64, and S83 described above, will be described.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a subroutine for calculating a charge for each card according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, step S101, step S102: the microcomputer 11 detects the current setting state of the share ratio which can be set from the corresponding screen by depressing the switch 55 for various settings (step S10).
1), it is determined whether the detected setting state has been changed from the default state (step S102).

Step S103: When the default state is determined in step S102 (NO), the microcomputer 11 sets the number of cards currently inserted in the card reader 6 in order to distribute the calculated additional charge evenly. Divide by. At this time, if there is a person who does not have a card, the calculation may be performed using the number of passengers set in advance by the occupant.

Step S104: When the sharing ratio has been changed in the judgment of step S102 (when YES),
The microcomputer 11 distributes the calculated additional charge according to the currently set sharing ratio.

The above-described calculation processing of the charge for each card is performed in steps S44, S64, and S83, respectively. Therefore, the input switch 5
It may be configured such that the sharing ratio can be individually set for the distance fee, the toll fee, and the hourly fee.

Here, an example of calculating the fare by the vehicular fare calculation device when a plurality of occupants share a taxi will be described with reference to FIG. .

As shown in the figure, at point P, Ko, O, and Hei take a taxi, get off at Q, get off at R, and get off. Finally, consider the case where Hei gets off at point S. At this time, the section from point P to point Q is section 1, the section from point Q to point R is section 2, and the section from point R to point S is section 3. At this time, each section fee consisting of a distance fee and a time fee is (1) the distance fee is 1500 yen and the time fee is 300 yen in the section 1, and the distance fee is 1000 yen in the (2) section 2.
(3) In section 3, the distance fee is 700 yen and the hourly fee is 100 yen.

At this time, assuming that the person on board is equally sharing the charge for each section, the charges to be paid by the three persons, Party A, Party B, and Hei, respectively, are as follows: (1) Party: 600 yen = (Section 1 Share charge) = (150
0 + 300) / 3, (2) Party B: 1300 yen = (share charge for section 1) + (share charge for section 2) = (1500 + 300) / 3 + (100
0 + 400) / 2, (3) C: 2,100 yen = (section 1 sharing rate) + (section 2 sharing rate) + (section 3 sharing rate) = (1500+
300) / 3 + (1000 + 400) / 2 + (700+
100),.

When a toll road is used, it goes without saying that a toll term is added to the above formula. Also, the so-called initial ride fee may be shared by a plurality of occupants in a taxi, and when the shared fee exceeds the above-mentioned shared fee, the shared fee may be paid.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the fare to be shared by each occupant can be accurately calculated even when a plurality of occupants get on and off the way. Therefore, each occupant only has to pay his or her allotment displayed on the display 7, and the payment using the card can be efficiently settled.

In this embodiment, the taxi is used as an example, so that the hourly fee is set by the switch 53. However, it is needless to say that it is not necessary to set the hourly fee when sharing a private vehicle. In the case of a private vehicle, the distance fee is calculated, so that the cost of the amount of energy such as fuel and electricity required for traveling the unit traveling distance Dt may be input as a predetermined additional fee. It is needless to say that there is no need to provide the switch 53 in the case of a taxi-only charge calculating device, since the time charge is always calculated.

[Second Embodiment] In the first embodiment described above, the occupant manually inputs the usage fee when using the toll road, but in the present embodiment, the use of the toll road is automatically performed. It is assumed that the toll is automatically calculated and the toll share of the road is automatically calculated, and the toll itself is charged to the vehicle. Otherwise, the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the description is omitted.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a subroutine for calculating a toll on a toll road according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, steps S611 and S612: The microcomputer 11 determines whether or not a predetermined radio wave indicating passage through a toll road gate has been received based on the radio wave received from the outside of the receiver 3 (step S611). It is determined whether or not the vehicle has passed the toll road (step S612). If the determination is NO, the toll calculation process ends.

Step S613: If the determination in step S612 is YES, the microcomputer 11 transmits a radio wave representing the ID of the own vehicle from the transmitter 2 to transmit it to an external center.

Step S614: The microcomputer 11 receives a toll from the external center via the receiver 3.

Steps S615 and S616: The microcomputer 11 obtains a new toll for each occupant from the toll received in step S614 by performing the same processing as in steps S64 and S65 in FIG. .

According to the present embodiment, the toll on the toll road is charged to the owner (manager) of the vehicle at a later date. It can be calculated automatically each time the vehicle passes, and the fare to be shared by each occupant can be accurately calculated even when a plurality of occupants get on and off the way.

[Third Embodiment] In the above-described second embodiment, the toll on the toll road will be collectively billed to the owner of the vehicle at a later date.
It is assumed that the use of a toll road is automatically determined, the toll share of the road is automatically calculated, and the share of the toll is later charged to each occupant by a credit company. Otherwise, the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the description is omitted.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a subroutine for calculating a toll on a toll road according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, steps S621 and S622: The microcomputer 11 determines whether or not a predetermined radio signal indicating passage through a toll road gate has been received based on the radio wave received from outside by the receiver 3 (step S621). It is determined whether the vehicle has passed the toll road (step S622). If the determination is NO, the toll calculation process ends.

Step S623: If the determination in step S622 is YES, the microcomputer 11 receives the toll from the external center via the receiver 3.

Step S624: The microcomputer 11 calculates the toll based on the toll received in step S623.
The toll for each card is calculated as in step S64 of FIG.

Step S625, Step S626: The microcomputer 11 reads the ID of the card currently inserted in the card reader 6, and, together with the read card ID, outputs the toll for each card calculated in Step S624 to an external device. Transmitter 2 to send to center
Transmits more radio waves. As a result, the toll sharing fee is charged to each occupant by the credit company at a later date. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when calculating the sharing fee for each occupant, the vehicle fee calculating device assigns the time fee and the distance fee from the premium of the card currently inserted into the card reader 6. Withdraw (collect) the fee.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the toll on the toll road is charged to the individual occupants at a later date, but the toll sharing fee passes through the toll road by the processing of FIG. It can be automatically calculated every time, and the fare to be shared by each occupant can be accurately calculated even when a plurality of occupants get on and off on the way.

[0087]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to provide a vehicle toll calculation device that accurately calculates a charge to be shared among charges required for traveling of a vehicle even when a plurality of occupants get on and off the vehicle.
