PURPOSE:To curtail a handwriting work to a driving daily report form by writing in a data area, a classification of a received money which is given at every charged run through an input device, and payer specified information reading through a magnetic card reader in case cash is unreceived. CONSTITUTION:In case a payment is received by a magnetic card ticket, a ticket switch of received money classification switches 29 is operated. That is to say, a driver makes a magnetic card received from a passenger pass through a groove 31 of a POS terminal equipment 1, and a card reader 3 reads a user code, a ticket number and a department code and writes them in the respective memories. Also, a prescribed code for showing a fact of a fare post-payment ticket is written in a received money classification memory, and thereafter, before issuing a receipt, details of a total, etc. of a bus-total of a meter fare, an express highway charge, a parking charge, and other charge, etc., and a charged run fare are written in a printing area of a control program area, and printed together with the received money classification on the receipt.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a PO5 terminal device, particularly a PO5 terminal device installed in a taxi driver's seat, among PO5 terminal devices.

In conventional technical taxi services, payment processing is performed based on a daily driving report submitted by the driver when the taxi enters the parking lot. Generally, the daily driving report includes business details written on the daily driving report form by the driver.

Business details include boarding time, disembarking time, and 9 passengers.

This is business data such as rental fees, etc., and when making the payment, one is forced to perform a cumbersome aggregation process of the business data.

In addition, in order to partially omit the above-mentioned aggregation process, a totalization device is installed in the taxi, and the business data of the first rental trip is cumulatively added, and the contents of each item of the totalization device are calculated at the time of payment. It has been done with Jin to print out. but,
When a totalizing device is used in this way, the following problems remain.

There is no problem if the payment type is only cash, but if a late payment occurs, the information identifying the payer and the fee must be matched and accurately written by hand in the daily driving report. The current situation is that we are still forced to do the work of writing.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a PO5 terminal device for use in a taxi, which allows payment processing even when late payment of fares occurs, even by handwriting in the daily driving report.

Structure of the Invention The taxi-mounted PO8 terminal device of the present invention provides
The business data of the predetermined items thus obtained is written in a data area designated by the data on the number of actual vehicles that is updated every time a rental run is made. The system is configured to write the payer identification information read through the magnetic card reader in the data area in the case of payment type given to the payment type and cash not received, thereby reducing the work of handwriting on the daily driving report form. It is characterized by

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 shows the connection state of a POS terminal device mounted on a taxi, and FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a POS terminal device. (
1) is a PO5 terminal device according to the present invention, which includes various key switches (2-), a card reader (3) as input devices,
It has input/output devices such as a display section (4) for confirming input contents and a printer device (5) for issuing receipts.

(6) is a fare meter that has traditionally been installed on the taxi side, with a display window (7) for displaying fares and a push button switch (8) to specify the driving mode installed on the front. , the fare display on the display window (7) is calculated by the fare meter control unit based on the distance information (Pt) from the travel detection unit Q4 and the instructions from the push buttons (8) to (to). There is. There is also a push button switch (8) for specifying the operation mode.
) to (to) and the distance information (Pt, ) are supplied from the fare meter control section to the PO8 terminal device (1) via the cable M and the connector Qη.

Nishiki is a collection and distribution control device that reads information from the rr-PO5m floor device (υ) when entering the warehouse.
Connected to the O8 terminal device (1), via which the taxi
Sales data is transferred to the office computer at the company's office. 2) is connected to the various input/output devices mentioned above via the CPU, and is a storage device that stores a control program area (2), an initial value set area (2), a data set area (c), and a storage device. It is composed of areas (c).

FIG. 8 shows the configuration of each area of the storage device @4, and FIG. 4 shows the contents of the control program area)
A flowchart of PU Qυ is shown. The configuration of the storage device (2) will be explained in detail based on the flowchart in FIG.

First, the CPU (2) executes initial value setting [step 1] when a taxi is dispatched. The initial values are 1 departure time, ``taxi company code'', ``car number''.

1 Driver code YO, r change YO, and r terminal number YO are respectively written into the memories Al to A6 in the initial value setting area 4 by an office computer (not shown) installed in the taxi company office. Car number 1.

is the car number or registration number, ``Change,'' 1 is the amount of change at the start of business, and ``t@end number YO'' is a number unique to each PO8 terminal device. Next, when the driver operates the llff1 switch (2) of the fare meter (6) to start driving, this operation is detected in [Step 2], and the CPU
In (2), the following items are written in the data set area (c) in [step 8]. [Step 8] At the same time, the current time measured from the contents of memory AI is written to memory B2 as the riding time, and the memory B2 where the number of actual rides is recorded.
The contents of l are incremented, and the cumulative number of kilometers traveled at the start of the actual vehicle race is read through the travel meter control section and stored in memory B.
Write in 15. After operating the E switch, the driver then operates the appropriate number of passengers push button switch (E) on the POS terminal device (step 4), and this operation is recognized in step 4, and then the driver moves to step 6. Now [Step 4
] The number of passengers corresponding to the push button switch recognized in ) is written into memory B41. When the taxi starts traveling after completing the above operations, the routine of [Step 6] → [Step 7] → [Step 8] → [Step 9] - [Step 10] is executed to detect the flow from the traveling detection part Q4. Distance information (Pr,
) are counted in [Step 6]. When the operation of the switch (8) is detected at [Sticker 0], the next step is [Step 6].
The calculation of the meter charge is executed based on the counted value of and is written into the memory B9. P next to switch (8)
If the m switch (branch) is operated without operating any of the separate charge switches (b) of the O8 terminal device (1),
After passing through [Step 12], the operation of the m switch (2) is detected in [Step 18], and the total amount is written into the memory B14 (Step 14).

At this point, the amount in the memory B14 is displayed on the display section (4). When [Step 14) is completed, [
Step 15] → [Step 16] → [Step 17]
routine is executed. If the driver receives cash payment from the customer, select [ of the four payment type switches].
m switch is operated and this is detected by [sticker 5]. ■When the switch operation is recognized, memory B
11' as a cash code is written in 20 [step 18], and a receipt is issued by the printer device (5) [step 19]. The data is written to B16 [step 20]. When [Step 20] is completed, the contents of the dataset area (goods) are transferred to the data area (
In step 2), the data is written as is into the data area specified in the memory B1 [step 21]. For example, when the actual vehicle is operated for the first time, the business data for the first time is written in [data area 1] C1l of data area (2). When the driver operates the EEI switch (2) of the fare meter (6) after issuing a receipt and completing one business trip, this is detected in [Step 22] and writing to the data area ends. The memories B2 to B20 other than the memory B1 of the data in the data set area (goods) are cleared [step 23], and the process returns to the above-mentioned [step 2].

Please note that 5 of the type switches (2) are operated using a deferred payment magnetic card ticket.
[Step 24] is executed following [Step 17]. [Step 24] Next to the field switch, the driver transfers the magnetic card ticket received from the customer to PO5.
When the terminal device device υ passes through the ticket slot G→, the card league (3) reads one user code, one ticket number, and one department code from the magnetic card ticket and stores them in the memory BIT, B18. A code '2' indicating that the ticket is a deferred payment ticket is written in the memory B20 as the payment type. If [Step 24] is executed, [Step 19]
1 Receipt Issuance 1 Prior to [Step 25], the details of [Step 14] are written in the print area of the control program area, and the receipt issued in [Step 19] is written along with the deposit type. It will be printed.

Also, since credit cards have various recording formats, in [Step 26] you can simply write the code ""8" indicating that it is a credit card in the memory B20, and separately record the payer identification information. Although it is configured to record, this can be omitted by providing routines corresponding to [step 24] and (step 25), as in the case of magnetic card tickets.

In the explanation, we used an example where the operation of the toll switch in Step 12 is not recognized, but if the driver pays the expressway fee or parking fee in advance If the [EEI switch (
Prior to the operation of the charge switch, a separate switch corresponding to the charge switch is operated. [Step 1
2) If the operation of the separate charge switch @ is detected and the operated switch is the 匪 switch, the meeting will: 1
mD switch is recognized in [Step 27], and after operating the high-speed switch, the amount entered by the driver using the numeric keypad (E) is written into the memory B101 [Step 28] 1. In this way, If a separate charge is entered, in [Step 14] the additional amount of the separate charge is calculated as a subtotal separately from the total and written in the memo υBB.

In this way, the data area (
b) The accumulated business data is read out by the collection and distribution control device (to) after entering the warehouse, and is loaded into the office computer at the taxi company's office.
Business data of predetermined items obtained each time a rental run is written in a data area designated by the actual vehicle number data updated every time a rental run is made, and is left separately for each actual vehicle number. Since the system is structured so that the payment details given for each rental trip and the payer identification information read through the magnetic card league in the case of uncollected cash are written in the data area, the driver does not have to manually record the details during business hours. In the case of unreceivable cash, the invoice amount and information identifying the payer can be matched and aggregated on a computer at the time of storage, and in the case of cash unreceivable, the information identifying the payer can be collected using a card league from the magnetic card etc. presented by the customer. Since the system is configured to read the daily report, the driver's daily report processing can be greatly simplified compared to the conventional method.
