Description

Transportation Card Terminal {Transportation Terminal}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a traffic card terminal, and more particularly, to a traffic card terminal capable of preventing theft of a traffic card terminal and reducing the risk of product damage by adding a locking device to the traffic card terminal.

Generally, a bus is equipped with a traffic card terminal (traffic bill collection terminal) for reading a traffic card of a passenger, deducting a fare, or receiving bus operation information through communication with a roadside base station apparatus.

Such a traffic card terminal or bus terminal may include a card reader for reading the amount information of the bus card or the transportation card or recording the amount information for which the fare is subtracted, a driver's operating device for controlling the operation of the card reader while communicating with the card reader, .

Each time a charge is collected from a transportation card of a passenger, the transaction details are stored and transmitted to a settlement server via a wireless LAN or a RAM pack. The settlement server clears the transaction details collected by each bus and transportation company .

Such a bus terminal uses a method in which the card reader recognizes the user's traffic card in a polling manner. As a result, the card reader is always supplied with power, and the card reader also performs the card read operation continuously through the periodic polling method.

In addition, a general traffic card terminal uses a RF method to allow a user to insert a transportation card into a purse or bag, and to read a transportation card inserted into a purse or bag even if the purse or bag is brought close to the card reading position.

Such a traffic card terminal in which a traffic card is contacted is mounted on a pillar installed in the vehicle.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a conventional traffic card terminal is installed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the traffic card terminal 100 is fixed between one or two columns 120, and the traffic card terminal 100 is usually installed on vertically installed columns 200.

The transportation card terminal 100 includes a front case 110 and a rear case 120 and a hole that can be inserted into the column 200 is formed in the rear case 120. When the traffic card terminal 100 is mounted on the column 200 by fastening the bolts 130 to the column 200 and the back case 120 while the back case 120 is inserted into the column 200, .

As described above, the traffic card terminal installed on the pillar has a problem that the traffic card terminal is lost or stolen by releasing the bolt, and the traffic card terminal may be damaged due to an external force applied from the occupant or the object possessed by the vehicle owner. There is a problem that the inconvenience of the passenger due to the contact failure with the traffic card or the fault of the traffic card terminal is deteriorated.

For example, the following Patent Document 1 discloses a pipe connector for a bus terminal.

A pipe connector for a bus terminal according to Patent Document 1 is connected to a pipe to which a bus terminal is coupled. The connector includes a connector body having an interface electrically connected to a bus terminal, And an interface cable electrically connected to the interface and connected to a cable disposed inside the pipe disposed inside the connector body and coupled to the pipe fastening part.

The following Patent Document 2 discloses a " rotating stand type bus information terminal ".

A rotating stand type bus information terminal according to Patent Document 2 includes a housing having a display unit and a rotatable upper portion rotatable in the left and right direction and a body fixed to the bottom of the bus stop to support the rotatable portion in a rotatable manner; A display unit positioned at the rotation unit and displaying various information; A touch input unit installed together with the display unit and receiving a user's touch signal; An environment processor installed in the housing to sense the temperature and humidity of the installation space and operate the fan to maintain the operating environment; A storage unit for storing data; A communication unit for communicating with an operation server through a communication network; And a controller for communicating with the operation server through the communication unit to receive various data, storing the data in the storage unit, displaying a main screen on the display unit, and inputting a user's operation through the touch input unit, Lt; / RTI >
