Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the payment of the charge while remaining within an automobile by using a means which transmits and receives the ID code data by radio. CONSTITUTION:For instance, the oil supply data on the amount of supply, the charge of supply, etc., are outputted to a radio transmitter 4 set in the automobile 1 from a vending machine 8 of an oil service center 7 via a controller 12 and radio transmitter 9. Then these oil supply data are outputted to a display device 5 by the function of a controller 6. An IC card 16 is put into an IC card reader 2 and an IC code and an amount of charge are inputted with the operation of a keyboard 3. Thus these code and amount are outputted to the transmitter/receiver 14 of a banking organ 13 (bank) via the controller 6, the transmitter 4, the radio transmitter/receiver 9 of a store 7, a transmission/ reception means 11 and a telephone line 10. When the controller 15 of the bank transfers the amount of charge to the account of the service center 7 from the account of a customer, the payment end signal and the transaction data are sent to the transmitter/receiver 4 of the automobile 1 via the center 7. Then a credit amount stored in the card 16 is subtracted.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 3. Detailed description of the invention [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to automobiles.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

For example, drive-through fast food restaurants, drive-in movies, gas stations, etc. allow people to shop, watch movies, and get gas without having to get out of their cars.

However, when it comes to payment, it is not always possible to do this while remaining in the car, and the clerk may not even come to the car.In such cases, you have to get out of the car to pay cash and go to the reception desk. Go directly to the location,
Even if an IC card is used instead of cash, the user must get out of the car to use an IC card reader/writer that has the functions of reading the IC card at a store and storing the operation results.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, and to make it possible to pay for fares at drive-through fast food restaurants, drive-in movies, gas stations, etc. while remaining in the car, and without having to get out of the car at all. The purpose is to provide a car that allows reliable payments without requiring the help of store personnel.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a means for wirelessly transmitting and receiving ID code data.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the I
The D code data and the payment amount are received at the store, for example,
From here, the information is sent to, for example, a bank, and the fee is transferred from the customer's account to the store's account and payment is automatically made.

〔Example〕

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

Fig. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the automobile of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a block diagram of the same as above, and 1 in the figure indicates the automobile of the invention;
This includes an IC card reader/writer 2 as a judgment means for identifying an identification number registered in advance at a financial institution such as ID code data, and a keyboard 3 for inputting the ID code data.
, a wireless transceiver 4 that wirelessly transmits and receives ID code data, a display 5 that displays ID code data, etc., and a microcomputer that controls these IC card reader/writer 2, keyboard 3, wireless transceiver 4, display 5, etc. It is equipped with a control device 6 that utilizes the following.

The relationship between automobile customers, gas stations, and financial institutions such as banks is shown below. In the figure, 7 indicates a store such as a gas station, and there are vending machines 8 such as gas dispensers, cash registers, etc. Furthermore, a wireless transmitter/receiver 9, a transmitter/receiver 11 for transmitting and receiving data to and from the bank using a telephone line 10, etc., and a control device 12 for controlling the vending machine 8, the wireless transmitter/receiver 9, and the transmitter/receiver 11 are provided.

In the figure, reference numeral 13 indicates a financial institution such as a bank, which is equipped with a transmitter/receiver 14 via a transmission line such as a telephone line 10 and a control device 15 using a large computer or the like.

In this manner, in the automobile 1, output signals from the keyboard 3 are introduced into the control device 6, output signals are introduced between the control device, the IC card reader/writer 2, and the wireless transceiver 4, and output signals from the control device 6 are introduced. A signal was introduced into the display 5.

Then, the wireless transmitter/receiver 4 and the wireless transmitter/receiver 9 on the store 7 side.
In the store 7, the output signals from the sales ta8 are introduced into the control device 12, and between the control device 12, the transceiver 11, and the wireless transceiver 9, respectively. Introduce the output signal.

Transmitter/receiver 11 of the seven stores and transceiver 1 of financial institution 13
At the financial institution 13, the respective output signals are introduced between the transceiver 14 and the control device 15.

Next, we will explain the case where the customer pays for refueling using the wireless transmitter/receiver 4 using a gas station as an example of the store 7. First, the customer first receives an IC card that has been credited with a credit of, for example, 100,000 yen at a financial institution 13 such as a bank. A card 16 is issued, and the ID code is stored in the IC card 16 and the bank's control device 15. Further, the customer and the gas station have accounts at the bank.

When refueling at a gas station, refueling data such as the amount of refueling and the amount of refueling is sent to the control device 1 from the refueling machine, which is the vending machine 8.
From there, the refueling data is outputted to the wireless transmitter 4 in the vehicle 1 by the wireless transmitter 9, and then output to the display 5 by the function of the control device 6 in the vehicle.

Suppose that the amount of refueling is displayed as ``R5000'', the customer sees this, loads the IC card 16 into the IC card reader 2, operates the keyboard 3 in the car, and enters the ID code and the amount of ``R5000''. Enter yen.

If the entered ID code is correct, the control device 6 causes the wireless transceiver 4 installed in the car 1 to wirelessly output the ID code and the amount of 5,000 J yen to the wireless transceiver 9 at the store 7, that is, the gas station. .

ID card received at gas station and amount of R5000J
The yen is outputted by the transmitting/receiving means 11 via the telephone line 10 to the transmitting/receiving device 14 of a bank, which is a financial institution 13, under the control of the control device 12.

At the bank, a control device 15 determines whether the input ID code is correct or not, and if it is correct, 5000 J yen is automatically transferred from the customer's account to the gas station's account.

Then, the payment completion signal and transaction data from the bank are sent to the gas station, the transaction data is checked by the gas station's control device, and if it is correct, it is further transmitted to the wireless transceiver 9.
An OK signal and transaction data are sent to the wireless transceiver 4 of the car 1, and the data is displayed on the display 5 and the I
The credit amount stored in the C card 16 and stored in the IC card is subtracted.

The customer sees this and knows that the payment has been completed. In this way, the customer uses the IC card 16 and the wireless transceiver 4 to shop at each store, and when the payment amount reaches 100,000 yen, the IC card 16 cannot be used. In such case,
If you go to the bank and hand over the IC card 16, the bank will compare the transaction data from each branch with the transaction data stored in the IC card 16, and if it is correct, delete the previous data and re-deposit 100,000 yen. provide credit.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the car of the present invention allows customers to pay for shopping and other items while remaining inside the car without getting out of the car, and moreover, the payment can be completed reliably by the customer's own operations without requiring any human intervention. It is possible.
